"The whole soccer team's gonna lose their minds — especially Jake." Heat floods your cheeks instantly. "I got over him ages ago," you insist, but Hanni's laugh is sharp and knowing. "Oh, please. Not after I walked in on you two." Before you can form a retort, a solid weight smacks the back of your head. You stumble forward, your ankle twisting painfully beneath you. Chaos erupts as the team runs over. Jake is the first to reach you, dropping to his knees on the grass beside you, his eyes wide and searching. "you? Are you okay?" he asks, his voice tight.
