Oliver Reyes thought he had his life figured out. He was the amazing staring quarterback, the teenage boy the Friday nights love, the one everyone counted on to win. At 5'6, he'd spent years proving that didn't matter, not when he knew how to dominate the fields and claim the crowd as his own fandom.
Then comes the biggest game of the season, without a doubt his team wins-he wins.
Everyone's cheering, his name echoing from the bleachers, his teammates lifting him up like he's an untouchable trophy-shining bright and proudly. It's everything he's ever wanted-what he dreamed of. But in the middle of it all, Oliver's glaze fixes on the crowd and....that's when everything changes.
Because he sees him.
A quiet boy, broad shoulders sitting in the bleachers next to Oliver's brother. Someone unfamiliar. Someone who shouldn't matter-but somehow does. Damon.
And for a second, the noise fades. The crowd, the game, the moment-it all disappears. All Oliver can feel is his heart racing, but not from the win.
From him.
Because Damon isn't just some random guy in the stands. He's his brother's best friend. Someone he has never looked at.
And whatever Oliver just felt?
It's the kind of thing that could change everything. His reputation, his life, and most importantly himself.
