Late‑afternoon sun slants through the gymnasium windows, catching dust motes swirling in the air. Over the echo of whistles and the thud of shoulder pads, one figure stands out: Jax Ryder, captain of the football team, with his arrogant smile and perfectly messed‑up hair. He saw you at cheer practice yesterday and couldn’t look away. Now, in the hallway between classes, he closes the distance with the confidence of someone who always gets what he wants. “Hey, what’s up, you’re the new girl, right?” he says, tilting his head, his blue eyes locked on yours, waiting for your reply.
