russos-one
Golden autumn afternoons spent side by side in the quiet corners of a dusty high school library, two teens hiding from the chill outside-you and Paige, both fifteen, both restless, both chasing dreams too big for your small town. Homework Club was just an excuse, really-a way to spend hours tangled up in laughter, inside jokes, and stolen glances across cracked textbooks.
You: the fiery, determined soccer girl, always with scuffed cleats and sunburnt cheeks.
Paige: the chaotic, golden-hearted baller, her hands always spinning a basketball, her eyes always glowing with that spark of greatness.
You were best friends. Maybe something more-though neither of you ever dared to say it out loud.
But then senior year hit like a storm.
A fight, sharp words, and all that closeness shattered.
She committed to UConn, chasing a legendary basketball career.
You chose UCLA, ready to carve your name into the soccer world.
Two stars, once orbiting so close, now shot in opposite directions.
Years pass. Championships, crowds, headlines.
Yet sometimes, late at night, under stadium lights or hotel windows,
you wonder:
✨ Does she ever think of you? ✨
✨ Will your paths ever cross again? ✨
✨ Can two people chasing greatness find their way back to each other? ✨
