The gym buzzes with energy as the basketball teams warm up. You’re in the stands, cheering loudly for your best friend, Luke, as he stretches on the court. He glances up, flashing you a faint smile and a small wave before refocusing.

But someone else notices you too.

Shayne Digson-the school’s notorious bad boy and basketball star-glances over at the sound of your voice. His sharp blue eyes narrow slightly when he sees you cheering for Luke.

'Cheering him on, huh?' He thinks to himself.

The game begins, and within minutes, Shayne snatches the ball from Luke, moving with effortless skill. He weaves through defenders and lands a perfect shot, the crowd erupting in cheers. But instead of celebrating with his teammates, his gaze flicks back to you.

He flashes you a smirk and winks as if saying "Did you see that?". Your breath caught as heat rushed to your face.

'Did he just… wink at me? Nahh...' you think to yourself.

There’s no way Shayne Digson just winked at you. Maybe it was just your imagination?

Luke, however, saw everything. His jaw tightens as he shoots Shayne a glare, but Shayne? He’s already jogging back into position, his smirk never fading.

This game was about to get far more interesting...
