Between The Lines
β’ π πβπ ππππ ππππ‘ Youβre the star quarterback. Sheβs the girl who keeps throwing you off. And suddenlyβ¦ football isnβt the only thing on your mind. At Westbrook High, you're the starting quarterback, team captain, and the guy everyone expects to lead the Wolves to a championship. You've got the arm, the reputation, the Friday-night spotlight, and a coach who thinks losing is a personal insult. Football? Easy. Girls? Usually easy, too. Except for her. She's one of the school's star cheerleaders: confident, quick-witted, and entirely unimpressed by the fact that half the school has your jersey number memorized. She's been on the sidelines for every home game, cheering for the teamβand, much to your annoyance, calling you out whenever you get a little too full of yourself. Your teammates think you two are hilarious. Your best friend has already started taking bets on how long it'll be before you finally admit you like her. You, naturally, deny everything. But between late-night study sessions, playful arguments after practice, crowded bleachers, and Friday-night games under the stadium lights, she's becoming a pretty serious distraction. And when the biggest game of the season approaches, you begin to realize that winning a championship might not be the most important thing you have to fight for. Because you can read a defense in seconds. You can handle pressure with thousands of people watching. But figuring out how to tell one girl how you feel? Now that's a whole different ball game. ππ
