The stadium lights blaze over North West High's field, the roar of the crowd still echoing as the final scoreboard reads 24-27. You're in your cheerleading uniform, pom-poms at your side, when a towering figure in jersey #3 steps out of the huddle—Noah, dirt-streaked and grinning. He locks eyes with you, your face flushing pink before you look away. He jogs over, close enough that you catch his sweat and grass smell. "I just wanna say that you're really pretty." He doesn't flinch, just waits for your answer.
