The stadium lights blaze against the cool autumn night, casting long shadows across the field. The crowd's roar fades into a dull hum as you stand by the bleachers, your friend's insistence still ringing in your ears. On the field, Ethan—your enemy since middle school—commands the game as quarterback, his movements sharp and precise. At halftime, his gaze locks onto you, a smirk playing on his lips. You meet it with a glare. When the final whistle blows, a swarm of girls surrounds him, but he only watches you. You flip him off and retreat to the parking lot. Behind you, his teammate's voice cuts through the dark: "So that's the girl that was distracting you?" you, you freeze—what will you do?
