The QB’s Nerdy Addiction 164: Confessions
I must have drifted off at some point, because the next time I force my heavy eyelids open, the TV has finally been turned off. As my eyes adjust to the soft light, I realize something else: the IV line I had so aggressively ripped out of my hand earlier–leaving a messy pool of blood behind–has been cleaned up. A fresh, securely taped catheter and saline drip are now neatly running into my vein. Surprisingly, despite taking that brutal tumble onto the floor earlier, my body doesn’t feel nearly as pulverized as it did when I first woke up. The excruciating pain has dialed down to a background throb I can live with. That should feel like a huge victory. Except it isn’t. Because the second my eyes scan the rest of the room, anxiety makes itself known in my chest. The room is completely vacant. Jade is nowhere to be seen. Instantly, my overactive brain starts spinning the worst possible narratives. Did she finally pack up and leave after the cold shoulder I gave her before falling a
The QB’s Nerdy Addiction 163: A Foundation Of Buried Secrets
Chest heaving, I snap my head back toward the TV, and sure enough, everything Jade just said is true. On the screen, Shawn is pinned flat to the turf with multiple campus security guards piled on top of him. He’s stopped swinging, but the sight of him is infinitely more disturbing–the evil grin that I’d last seen on his face has morphed into something vacant and deeply unsettling. Coach Max towers right over him, veins bulging in his neck as he barks furiously, though his actual words are drowned out by the stadium's pandemonium. Total chaos has broken out. Spectators in the stands are scrambling for the exits in a panicked rush, and the remaining players are clearing the turf. The game is officially over, abandoned in a pool of violence. Yet, my eyes hook onto the one detail that makes my breath seize permanently in my throat. Shawn isn't looking at Coach Max. His manic eyes are locked on Trey, who is currently being lifted onto a stretcher. Trey’s helmet has been stripped off,
The QB’s Nerdy Addiction 162: Taking The Beating
Every single soul reacts instantly to the unhinged move Shawn just pulled. First, there’s the commentator, disbelief thickens his voice: “Oh, crap... turns out Crawford really chose to do something completely stupid. He’s going straight for Parker! Someone cover my goddamn eyes, because I don't think I can stomach watching this catastrophe unfold live on national television!” Then comes the deafening gasp that dances through the bleachers as the entire stadium holds its breath. And then there's Jade and me. My hands fly straight to my face, clamping over my mouth to smother a horrified shriek. Jade launches to her feet. "Shawn, you absolute fucking slime-bag, no! Don't you dare!" Unfortunately, Shawn is completely past the point of no return. It all unfolds in horrifying slow motion. Just as Trey cleanly dodges a pair of lunging GreyField players or whatever it is they are called in football, Shawn crashes into him with missile-like force, blindsiding VSU’s quarterback and vici
The QB’s Nerdy Addiction 161: The Twist
"Now, as tragic and heartbreaking as Skylar's attack is, there is also a beautiful silver lining to this whole messed-up situation–and it's the exact reason why I said there's been a juicy change. The twist is that tonight, Trey will still be competing in the challenge. But he'll be doing it entirely solo." My jaw drops open so fast it makes my bruised ribs twinge. "That's right,” Ryder continues. "He's riding solo without Skylar. His reasoning? He wants to win tonight’s challenge–being a cheerleading competition–for his girl. See, they practiced this routine together. Skylar put in back-breaking hours learning every single step of this choreography. And even though she can't be out here on the field tonight, Trey refuses to let all her hard work go down the drain. He's performing her routine by himself. No matter if he crashes and burns, he refuses to let her efforts go to waste. Romantic, isn't it?" A collective, stunned hush sweeps over the stadium. The silence is so heavy you c
The QB’s Nerdy Addiction 160: Juicy Little Change
I don't know what I expected when Ryder called out the contending couples and the stadium spotlights swung toward the dark mouth of the tunnel. Okay, who am I kidding? I most definitely did know what I expected. I expected four people to come strutting out onto that field: Shawn and Cherry... and Trey and Natalia. But that isn't what happens at all. Instead, only two people sprint out onto the illuminated turf with their hands raised high toward the night sky. Shawn and Cherry. They look flawlessly coordinated in matching pink-and-gold athletic attire emblazoned with the Apex logo. Shawn is wearing a tailored compression top and joggers that hug his frame, while Cherry is rocking a skimpy two-piece cheerleader set–if you can even call it a set, considering the metallic bottoms give off serious panty vibes. Even Ryder looks caught off guard by the solo entrance. "Well... I guess we’re introducing them one couple at a time! Why didn't anyone tell me about the script change? Anyway
The QB’s Nerdy Addiction 159: The Game
Come to think of it, this clinic room is absurdly fancy. No real surprise there, considering VSU is practically a luxury resort disguised as an institution of higher education. Right now, however, I couldn't care less about the room's interior design. My eyes are entirely glued to the screen. Jade taps away at the remote, trying to mirror the campus sports broadcast onto the screen. After what feels like an eternity of loading screens and buffering circles, she triumphantly announces, "And... finished!" She backs away from the console and walks over to the bed, carefully settling down on the edge of the mattress beside my legs. I don't even acknowledge her. All my focus hooks onto the live broadcast. The stadium on the screen is practically bathed in tension. The camera pans across the turf, zooming in on the opposing team–dressed head-to-toe in green and white–facing off against our VSU Tigers in their dark blue and white uniforms. The atmosphere on the field is so thick you co
