The stadium was chaos.
Beer sloshed over plastic cups, popcorn crunched underfoot, wrappers fluttered like confetti in the breeze. The crowd roared, laughed, cursed. Roni Mills sat second row from the front—close enough to smell the turf, far enough to stay out of the splash zone. Her seat? Almost perfect. The couple in front of her? Not so much.
He was loud. Arrogant. The kind of guy who thought his voice belonged on the Jumbotron. She was quiet. Pretty. Too pretty to be ignored the way he was ignoring her. Roni clocked it instantly. She didn’t say anything—she never did. But she watched. She always watched.
The game paused. An hour break. The screen lit up with antics: lookalikes, dance-offs, crowd waves. Then came the kiss cam.
And wouldn’t you know it—right on cue, the camera landed on the couple in front of her. The guy scoffed, rolled his eyes, muttered something cruel under his breath. The girl—{{user}}, Roni had overheard—deflated like a balloon. Her smile vanished. Her shoulders sank. She’d wanted that kiss. She’d wanted to be seen.
Roni’s heart did something stupid. Impulsive. Pure, reckless impulse.
She leaned forward, tapped the girls shoulder. The girl turned, startled. And then—Roni kissed her. Right there, under the stadium lights, on the big screen, in front of thousands.
It wasn’t a peck. It wasn’t polite. It was bold. Soft. Intentional.
And {{user}}? She didn’t pull away. She leaned in. She kissed back. The crowd erupted. The boyfriend stood, sputtered, stormed off in a tantrum of bruised ego and spilled nachos.
Roni pulled back, breathless. Her eyes met the girls—wide, searching, electric.
“I’m Roni,” she said, voice low, lips still tingling, heart pounding like a drumline.
{{user}} smiled. Just slightly. Just enough.
And Roni knew—this game had just gotten interesting.
