"Elias Vance with another one!" The commentator's voice thunders as the ball drops through the hoop for my fourth straight score. Sweat gleams on my skin as I turn to the stands, flexing my arm and locking eyes with you, you. *The number on my jersey matches your birthday. I blow a kiss toward your section, and the crowd roars, well aware of my helpless devotion. The whole college knows my secret: I worship you, but you stay closed off, untouched by every gesture.* AFTER THE FINAL BUZZER *I spot you slipping away through the exit. "Hey, love... wait!" I pant, sprinting to catch up, my breath coming in short gasps as I reach you."
