Taylor, The Bookworm

In our most recent tutorial, we were asked to create an article about the person sitting beside us.  I was placed with a charming young lady by the name of Taylor.  This is half of the interview ...

Curled up in a dark, quiet corner, snuggled up with her most recent David Eddings book, Taylor seems at peace.  No one would ever expect that she would be heading off to football practice to mix it up with boys twice her size in just a few minutes.  To her close friends and family, she is a bookworm.  She is always seen clutching her copy of The Mallorean, mumbling to herself that the story wasn’t going to plan but was still enjoyable.  To her football mates, she is a rough-and-tough chick, not afraid to get her hands dirty.  Sure, once in a while her two worlds will collide.  She may be reclining on her bed wearing her football gear or smuggling her books into her gear bag, but she tries desperately to separate her two worlds from fear of ridicule.  When she is not at football practice or reading, she spends time and earns money at a small café by the name of Brumbies Go.  Even her workmates know that if she is in a bad mood it will be because her favourite character died or she lost a game. 

One fateful day, her coach shattered her world by announcing that she would have to change from football to netball.  Taylor, distraught by the news, demanded why he would make such a call.  Due to her female development, it was considered to be a health and safety risk for her to continue.  Taylor tried it out for a month or so, but netball could not match the excitement and passion that she felt with football.  Surrendering to the side of her that call loudly, she became the person she was meant to be: Taylor, the bookworm.  

The rest will remain a secret.  The tactic we were asked to use was to create a story almost.  Have a beginning, a middle and an end in that order, they told us.  Well, this is my attempt.
