Stargirl vs. Winning

It was the strangest sight: the other team scores, the MAHS crowd sits glumly on their hands while Stargirl, alone, pops up cheering. We walked away smiling and maybe not saying but all thinking the same thing: it felt good to get credit. This year the team was winning. Only winning. And that changed everything. We fell in love with our team. When we spoke of it, we used the word we instead of they. What does Stargirl do that they like? What does she do that they dont like?
