I moved to the sink, pretending she wasn't there. My fingers rubbed the soap into a lather, the rhythm grounding me. Her gaze bore into my back, heavy and unyielding. "Um, Kartier, can we ta-" "Don't call me that," I cut her off, my voice low but sharp. The nickname sat between us like a shard of glass, a reminder of everything we weren't anymore. I focused on washing my hands, refusing to meet her eyes. Her voice softened. "Well... Karter, can we talk? Please?" I turned slowly, squinting at her. "Why now, Aubrey? After five years? You know how weird that is?" My words were harsher than I intended, but the wound was still raw, even if the scar had formed over it. Her expression faltered, the shine in her eyes turning glassy. She looked away, and I could see her swallow hard, her chest rising and falling with the weight of whatever she wanted to say. "I can explain what happened," she started, her voice fragile, almost lost. "I just... I need you to let me. I want to clear things up between us." I studied her, trying to find the truth beneath her pleading eyes. Sympathy tugged at the edges of my resolve, but I buried it deep. She had her chance, and what she did-it still burned. "Clear things up?" I let out a dry laugh, my tone hollow. "I don't care, Aubrey. I don't need your explanations or your apologies. I don't want you calling me, texting me, none of that. Just... stay away from me."

Ayanna Patterson has a reputation - tall, confident, and the kind of girl whose past hookups are whispered about in locker rooms. She isn't looking for anything serious... until she meets Lila, a 5'4" freshman athletic trainer's assistant who shows up to preseason terrified of everything except her own boyfriend. Lila is sweet, shy, and inexperienced - a girl who's spent her whole life convinced she's straight and "not into girls," even as she blushes every time Ayanna crouches down to let her tape her ankle. Ayanna tells herself it's harmless - a crush she'll keep to herself - especially because Lila is taken. But Lila's boyfriend notices the way she looks at Ayanna. And he does not take it well. What starts as possessiveness turns into obsession: If I can't have you, nobody can. When he begins isolating her, controlling her every move, and cutting her off from friends, Ayanna is the only person who notices - the only one Lila feels safe around, even if she doesn't understand why. Ayanna tries to keep her distance, repeating, "Sorry, she's taken," every time someone on the team teases her - but she can't ignore the protective instinct that flares whenever Lila flinches at her boyfriend's texts. As Lila slowly realizes her "straight" label doesn't fit - and maybe her boyfriend isn't love, just fear - Ayanna becomes the one thing she can't deny: steady, gentle, safe. But when her boyfriend's jealousy turns violent, Ayanna is dragged into a dangerous triangle where a single truth becomes clear: Lila might be inexperienced. Ayanna might have a past. But the way they look at each other? No one gets between that - not even him.

Zahara Castle plays defense like her life depends on it-on the soccer field and everywhere else. She's intense, untouchable, and never afraid to speak her mind, making it clear she doesn't have time for games, drama, or feelings.
