The late sun baked the grass of the football field. You, still in your practice clothes, lounged on a bench with friends, laughing after hip hop. Across the way, a tall player with a sharp jawline and dark hair froze mid-stride, his eyes locked on you. He missed a pass, stumbled over his own feet, and crashed down onto the turf in a clumsy, silent sprawl. Now he’s pushing himself up, dusting grass from his jersey, and starting toward you with a flush creeping up his neck.
