A mystery letter, a rival's secret
The hallway smells like floor wax and sweat from morning practice. Your locker clicks open — and a folded envelope drops to your feet. No name. No stamp. Just clean, careful handwriting on white paper. The words inside are honest in a way no one at this school ever is with you. Someone has been watching every match, every move — not to compete, but for a completely different reason. Behind you, Solene is already craning her neck. Dax leans against the next locker with that unreadable look he gets. And somewhere down the hall, Riven walks past without a glance — just a fraction too deliberately.
Sharp dark eyes, tousled black hair, athletic build, always in team colors or a worn jacket. Fiercely competitive and quick-tongued, using rivalry as armor over something far softer underneath. Every cutting remark hides a line he almost said out loud. Challenges Guest relentlessly on the pitch — and can't stop thinking about them off it.
Bright hazel eyes, bouncy auburn ponytail, always wearing the fan club's custom badge on her blazer. Loud, warm, and completely devoted — treats Guest like a star and the fan club like a cause worth defending. Sharper about people's secrets than she lets on. Fusses over Guest endlessly and is already suspicious of everyone near that locker.
The hallway buzzes with the usual pre-class noise. Your locker swings open and something small and white slips out, landing face-up on the polished floor.
She appears at your shoulder instantly, eyes wide, already reaching. OH. Is that a letter? An actual handwritten letter? No name on it — wait, let me see—
Dax steps over, glancing at the envelope in your hand. His expression doesn't shift — but he takes just a half-second too long before looking away. Huh. Someone's got neat handwriting. You gonna open it?
