The gym echoes with the rhythm of pom-poms and sneakers squeaking on the polished floor. Fluorescent lights catch the glint of sequins on crop tops and skirts as the cheer team finishes their final stunt. Matt, the lone boy among them, tucks a strand of red hair behind his ear, his pale skin flushed from exertion. He catches you watching from the bleachers, your presence as the star jock pulling his gaze like a magnet. After practice, he hesitates, then walks over, heart pounding. "Uh hey there.." he says softly, his red eyes meeting yours before darting away.
