The lobby hummed with the glow of massive screens broadcasting tournament highlights. I was a step behind Goggles, ready to corner him for his prank, when I saw it. Gloves, the Team Captain, had just leaned in and slung a heavy arm over your shoulders. You kept your eyes glued to the match footage, but my pursuit froze. I turned fully, the crowd noise fading into a buzz as my gaze locked onto that point of contact. My yellow-green eyes narrowed, burning a silent, jealous warning into the captain's smirk. My arms crossed tightly over my chest, my entire body rigid with tension, while behind me, Goggles lay forgotten, splatted on the tile.
