Jackson

The third quarter started the way the first half should’ve.

Fast.

Clean.

Focused.

Coach’s voice was still ringing in my ears when we took the field, and for once, it actually worked. We moved the ball with purpose. No stupid penalties. No trying to play hero-ball.

Just football.

On the opening drive, I kept it simple. Short passes. Quick reads. Let the guys do their jobs.

Noah was a wall.

Every time Daniel tried to get inside his head, Noah just drove him back instead.

Good.

Let him choke on that.

We marched down the field and punched it in.

14–17.

The stadium exploded.

I glanced at the stands again—Jessa was on her feet now, clapping, her face lit up in a way that made something in my chest loosen.

Westbrook wasn’t smiling anymore.

Daniel definitely wasn’t.

They came back aggressive.

A couple big plays. A couple of lucky breaks.

They tied it.

17–17.

And suddenly it felt like everything was balanced on a knife’s edge.

On the next series, Daniel finally snapped.

He cheap-shot

    JessaBenny’s was loud in that warm, messy, happy way that only happens after a big win.The windows were fogged up from too many people and too much laughter. Someone had pushed a bunch of tables together, and half the football team was crammed around them, still in jackets and hoodies, still buzzing with adrenaline.Everyone was talking at once.Jackson was in the middle of it, of course—getting slapped on the back, getting his crown stolen and put on someone else’s head, getting it stolen back. Mariah sat beside him, pretending she was annoyed while absolutely glowing.I watched them for a second and smiled.Then I felt Noah’s hand find mine under the table.Just like that. Natural. Easy.My heart still hadn’t figured out how to act normal around him.“So,” Mariah said, leaning across the table, “I vote we officially declare this the best homecoming game in Ridgeville history.”“Only because we won,” someone said.“Details,” she replied.Everyone laughed.Food came. Fries disappear

    NoahThe final whistle blew and everything exploded.The scoreboard still glowed over the field—Ridgeville 21, Clearwater 14—but the numbers barely registered because my ears were full of shouting, my chest was full of fire, and my legs were shaking in that good, earned way.We’d done it.We beat them.And somehow, against every ounce of pressure and noise and chaos, we’d played better without him.I ripped my helmet off as guys piled into each other, Reyes nearly tackling me in celebration, someone yelling about food, someone else yelling about how Jackson was a damn legend.I laughed, breathless, dizzy.Then I saw him.Daniel.Still in his Clearwater uniform.Standing near the edge of the field, helmet tucked under his arm, face tight with something that wasn’t just anger.For a second, the whole night rewound in my head.The party.The pool.Jessa’s face.The coach’s office.Him getting kicked off our team.And now here he was.On the other side.We’d just beaten his new team.Jack

    JacksonBy the time Friday night rolled around, I was already wound too tight.Not the good kind of locked-in, ready-to-play tight.The bad kind.The kind where your jaw aches from clenching it all day.The locker room was loud—same as always. Music blasting, guys yelling, shoulder-checking each other, hyping themselves up. The smell of sweat, tape, and turf filled the air.Normal.Too normal.Because everyone knew who we were playing tonight.Westbrook.And everyone knew who Westbrook had now.Nobody said his name.They didn’t have to.I was sitting on the bench pulling my pads on when Noah sat down next to me. He didn’t say anything at first. Just stared at the floor and started taping his wrists.“You good?” I asked.He snorted softly. “You ever ask a question you already know the answer to?”“Yeah,” I said. “All the time.”He glanced at me. “Then yeah. I’m good.”We both knew that was a lie.Across the room, a couple of guys were pretending this was just another game. Laughing too

    JacksonI knew something was off the second Coach didn’t start practice by yelling.That alone was unsettling.We were lined up on the field, helmets under our arms, the air sharp and cold in that early-fall way that meant Friday nights were going to start hurting again, and Coach was just… standing there. Arms crossed. Looking at us like he was deciding which one of us he wanted to psychologically destroy first.That’s never a good sign.“Alright,” he finally said. “Bring it in.”We jogged closer.I caught Noah’s eye. He lifted an eyebrow like, what now? I shrugged.Coach waited until everyone was quiet.“Friday,” he said, “we’re playing Westbrook.”A few guys groaned. A few muttered.Westbrook was good. Not unbeatable, but good.Then Coach added, “They’ve got a new linebacker.”The way he said it made my stomach tighten.“He transferred in two weeks ago,” Coach continued. “Name’s Daniel Price.”The field went silent.Not normal football silent.Not we’re-listening silent.More like

    NoahBy the time I got to my locker, I could feel it.Not hear it.Not see it.Just… feel it.The looks.The pauses in conversation.The way people’s eyes followed me like I’d suddenly grown a second head.Which was funny, because all I’d done was kiss my girlfriend on the temple and say good morning.Apparently that was headline news now.I spun my locker open and started swapping books, trying to act like nothing had changed. My hands were steady. My chest was not.Behind me, someone said my name in a tone that meant this is about to be stupid.“Carter.”I closed my locker and turned.Two guys from the team. One looked amused. The other looked like he was trying not to grin.“So,” Shane said. “You just going to pretend you didn’t make the hallway your personal rom-com this morning?”I sighed. “Good morning to you too.”He laughed. “Dude, I’m not judging. I’m just saying. That was… bold.”“Effective,” Chris added. “Also, terrifying. Jackson looked like he was five seconds away from c
