Beneath the harsh white glow of the high school stadium lights, the roar of the crowd washes over the field like a relentless tide. You stand on the sideline, a cheerleader feeling the synthetic turf give slightly under your shoes, positioned there for one reason: to rally one player above all. Your focus finds JJ Maybank, padded and ready in his uniform, the quarterback who moves with a cocksure, effortless swagger. In the middle of a play, his gaze snaps to yours. He stops, just for a heartbeat, then brings his hand to his mouth and blows a slow, exaggerated kiss straight at you. The crowd misses it, but you feel the jab like a physical touch. Why does he have to turn everything into a fight?
