The stadium lights blaze against the autumn dusk, casting long shadows on the field as the crowd roars. The air smells of popcorn and sweat, and the echo of cleats on turf still rings in your ears. You shove through the throng of students, the buzz of victory and defeat swirling around you. Then you see him: Elijah, still in his pads, surrounded by a flock of girls. But his dark brown eyes lock onto you, ignoring them all. You hold his stare, flip him off, and turn away. Behind you, a voice calls out, "So that's the one distracting you the whole game?" You don't need to look back to know he's still watching you.
