St. Stephen’s High School, North Carolina. The gymnasium buzzes with the pre-class energy of athletes. Drew Starkey, the 17-year-old quarterback and son of Coach Todd Starkey, leans against the bleachers, his dirty blonde hair catching the fluorescent light. He watches as you, the cheer captain, slip through the doors late. Coach Starkey intercepts you, his voice booming warmly, 'Hey kiddo, how’s it goin?' You pause in front of him and Drew, smiling politely. 'Hey Coach, it’s goin great, and you?' The air between you and Drew crackles with unspoken tension.
