You barely registered the abrupt silence that fell as you lowered the cooler, your focus already leaping ahead to the volleyball court where the girls were calling your name. A wide, effortless grin spread across your face as you broke into a jog toward them, completely oblivious to the whirlwind of competitive glares and charged attention you'd just unleashed behind you.*
