Was it spoiled of Maggie to say that she wanted nothing more than be on a dance team that was actually good? Especially when she's on the dance team at Stanford University? Maybe. She knew she was better than this.
But when an injury and unexpected orders from her coach leads her to interact with other sports teams on top of suffering without dance, she's even less excited.
Art was a tennis player at Stanford, an extremely promising player too. He has it out for the girls on the dance team that don't know how to shut up and never left the high school mentality, especially the one who always looked miserable at his matches.
Even never haven spoken, Maggie and Art couldn't stand to look at each other. However, if Maggie knew you didn't like her, she was going to do her best to make sure you absolutely loath her.
She wasn't above pettiness, deep down, she knew she wasn't better than this.

All That Is Gold Does Not Glitter (Book 1)|| COMPLETE
"Are you sure you're okay, sweetie?" she asks. I take the ice pack back. I nod, but it hurts. My brain feels jostled by the littlest movements. "Yeah," I gasp, holding in any acknowledgment of pain. "I'm fine. Thanks." She glances down, and I catch her eyeing my bruised shins. They took the brunt of the impact. "Football," I explain. She nods. "That's a rough sport," she says. A pause. She walks back to her desk. Then, she stops. She turns around. She looks me in the eyes. Her face is solemn. "Hit 'em harder," she instructs. I nod and almost smile. "I will." *********************************************** It's 1998, and seventeen-year-old Stephanie "Stevie" Rogers is attempting the unthinkable: she wants to be the first female football player at Truman High. Too bad the team, headed by her ex and a sexist coach, won't let it happen. Then of course there's her sexist step-dad, who can't know she's playing football or her life as she knows it would end. If it weren't for her cute guitar-playing best friend, Calvin, all hope might be lost. But with his help, and the discovery of a secret so scandalous it could rock the entire school, she may finally get her time under the stadium lights. *************************************************************************** "You're outnumbered. You need allies if you're gonna survive the season. These guys are gonna have your back. You need them." "I don't need anyone," I insist. "Ha," he hiccups. "Yes, actually, you do." He ploinks me on the nose. I scowl. "No one is invincible." I continue to scowl. He sighs. "Just trust me on this one. Okay?" My face softens a little. He's just trying to help. "Fine," I comply. "But don't expect me to smile about it." He grins. "That's too bad. You're pretty when you smile." "Shut up."Complete

Amy Cheng was destined for greatness from the moment she picked up a racket, a child prodigy driven by discipline and precision. But no matter how hard she worked, she could never eclipse Tashi Duncan, her best friend and fiercest rival, whose raw talent and instinctive brilliance captivated the world. Their bond seemed unshakable, forged by shared ambition and the pressures of life under the spotlight. That all changed on the night of Tashi's Grand Slam victory, when two strangers, Patrick Zweig, reckless and magnetic, and Art Donaldson, intense and enigmatic, entered their lives at a celebration party. What started as harmless flirtation spiraled into something far more complicated. Over the next decade, the four of them became entangled in an affair that blurred the lines between love, betrayal, and obsession. What began as separate pairings, Amy with Patrick, Tashi with Art, grew into a web of secrets and shifting loyalties. Their once unbreakable friendship fractured under the weight of private failures and public triumphs, as scandals and trophies defined their lives. Bound by a connection they couldn't escape, they pushed each other to greatness but risked destroying themselves in the process, their tangled history leaving cracks that no success could mend.
