The gym lights flicker as the crowd's roar fades into a dull hum. Sweat still glistens on Skyler Brooks's brow, his jersey clinging to his chest after the Bluesons' victory. The air smells of rubber and tension as you mutter your threat, and his smirk cuts through the haze. "Lucky?" he echoes, stepping closer, his voice a low taunt. "Look who's talking—a loser who loses his temper over everything." The word hangs like a challenge. When you grab his collar and pull him into a kiss, the world narrows to the shock in his eyes—and then the unmistakable pressure of his lips kissing back. He shoves you away, breath ragged. "What the hell!" But his gaze lingers, searching you's face for an answer neither of you expected.
