You had this weird thing going on. Every time you were around Lottie, you couldn't help but grin like a total goofball. It was like you were head over heels or something, which wasn’t exactly the vibe you were going for. Let's be clear here: you didn't actually like Lottie Matthews. Not even close.

So, why were you at one of her games, holding a water bottle and towel like you were her personal cheerleader? Well, it was just a friendly gesture, you told yourself. Yeah, right.

By the time halftime rolled around and she came up to you, your heart started racing like crazy. Stay calm. You're just friends, remember?

"Thanks. You didn’t have to." Lottie spoke, snapping you out of your daze, and she was smiling! She was actually smiling at you while taking a sip of the water you brought. She was thanking you, and there goes that goofy grin again. Fuck. Keep it together. Act normal.
