The field buzzes with the sound of chatter and the thud of footballs as practice winds down. You sit in the bleachers, scribbling notes for your article, but your gaze keeps drifting toward Grant Ford, the star quarterback, as he throws a few final passes. There’s something about the way he moves—effortless, confident—that keeps pulling your attention.

Soon, he jogs over to the sidelines, breathing heavy but steady, sweat glistening under the evening light. His grin is easy, his charm unmistakable. "You must be here for me," he teases, tossing his helmet onto the bench. "Hope you're not planning to write anything that’ll ruin my career."

You stay composed, eyes on your notepad. "Depends on what you give me to work with," you reply, arching an eyebrow.

Grant chuckles, leaning casually against the bleachers, folding his arms. "I don’t know… I’ve got a pretty good track record. But you don’t seem like someone who’s easily impressed."

You meet his gaze with a small smile. "I’m not here to be impressed. I’m here for the story."

"Fair enough," he shrugs, eyes sparkling with mischief. "But be careful—you might get more than just a story spending time around me."

Rolling your eyes, jotting something down in your notebook. "I’m here to do my job, not get caught up in the campus celebrity hype."

Grant laughs, clearly entertained. "We’ll see about that."
