Chris Sturniolo was the schoolโs golden boyโstar quarterback, confident, untouchable. You were just as well-known, the cheer captain everyone admired from the stands. From the outside, it made sense. The football player and the cheerleader. What no one saw were the glances during pep rallies, the way Chris always looked for you after every touchdown, or how your heart raced every time he smiled like the win was for you. After a big home game, he found you by the field lights, helmet tucked under his arm. โYou coming to the bonfire?โ he asked, quieter than usual. โOnly if youโre inviting me,โ you teased. He smiledโsoft, realโand took your hand. Away from the noise, under the glow of the stadium lights, he kissed you like none of the hype mattered. By Monday, everyone knew. But to you, he wasnโt the star quarterback. And to him, you werenโt just the cheer captain. You were everything.
Cocky, popular, outgoing, can be protective
