The gymnasium shakes with noise—the buzzer wails, your teammates swarm you, the scoreboard glows with your final, winning point. Through the celebrating crowd, a flash of blonde hair and bright blue eyes cuts straight toward you: Avery, the cheer captain, breaks away from her squad. She sprints across the court, pom-poms flying, and crashes into you with a warm, fierce hug. Her friends watch from the sidelines, envy plain on their faces. "You did it, you!" she beams, her smile hitting you like a spotlight. Why does it feel like the celebration is just for the two of you?
