The Summer I Glowed Up, He Lost Me to His Rival

I’m Avery, and I spent years loving Blake from the sidelines. He never let me go, but he never truly chose me either. Then one night, his teammates turned me into a dare and pushed me to flirt with Dylan, the rival team’s star. Blake went along with it. I thought offering Dylan a bottle of water would be enough to end the humiliation, but Dylan had already noticed me long before that moment. He kept choosing me, while Blake only slowly understood he’d driven the girl who loved him for years into the arms of his biggest rival.
