Some people spend summer chasing waves.
Others spend it trying not to drown in expectations.
Glide With Me follows Ripple Carter - a smooth-talking soccer player from Virginia Beach who thought leaving home for the summer would finally quiet the noise in his head. New city. New people. No pressure. Just soccer, freedom, and staying out of trouble.
Then he meets Tatiana Brooks.
Tatiana is impossible to ignore.
Color guard captain energy. Cheerleader confidence. Stomp-and-shake performer. Dubstep pom-pom dancer. And now? She's determined to earn her place in college athletics through track and field before anybody can label her as "just another walk-on."
At her school, recruiters notice everything.
Your image. Your numbers. Your followers. Your mistakes.
Tatiana refuses to enter college invisible.
Ripple wasn't supposed to become part of her plan. But somewhere between late-night practices, beach lights, competitive tension, and music loud enough to shake the pavement, the two start orbiting each other in ways neither of them expected.
He's trying to escape the version of himself everybody already knows.
She's trying to build the version of herself nobody believes in yet.
And summer?
Summer moves fast.
Especially when feelings start to glide deeper than either of them planned..
