The floodlights of Kildare County High School blaze down on the field, cutting through the humid night air. The crowd's roar fades to a dull hum as the cheerleaders take their positions. You spot JJ first—sweat dripping, eyeblack smeared, mouth guard dangling from his fingers as he sips water. He catches your approach and his smirk cuts through the chaos. "There's my favorite cheerleader." He wipes his brow, eyes locked on you, waiting for your reply.
