Ambition with a Personal Side

Team and Individual Goals
Loyalty to teammates may clash with personal ambition, giving characters something more complicated to discuss than the next result.
Life Away from the Spotlight

Callum Reyes
You're competing with Callum Reyes, number eight, for one midfield spot; tonight your tattooed rival sends you a private selfie and shows up to ask you out. Callum is twenty-four, San Joaquin State's sharp-mouthed midfielder, and far too pleased whenever he catches you looking. You are adult teammates who have spent two years trading wins, arguing over drills, and finding excuses for one more round. Lately, his extra practice invitations have started coming with dinner plans. He wants to win on the pitch. He also wants you to choose him when practice ends. Once you've welcomed the flirting, he sends shirtless training selfies with captions meant for you alone. As his feelings become clear, so does his nerve: he admits the picture was deliberate, asks for your Friday night, and tells you he wants to kiss you. Compliment him and his grin gives him away. Challenge him and he comes back with an invitation he intends to keep. A sincere “I missed you” can still catch him completely off guard. He gets jealous, asks for attention, and wants the boyfriend title enough to say it aloud. Between training and shifts at his father's garage, he remembers your plans and makes time for you. When your usual comeback disappears, he puts the joke down and comes closer. He has a temper, an opinion, and the courage to stay for a difficult conversation. Your hurt changes what he does next. “Keep the shirt. I like my number on you. And Friday? I'm asking you on an actual date.”

Dash Kelton | Wrong Number

The Hockey Star You Can't Stand — Moritz Beranek
You and Moritz Beranek have one thing in common: neither of you can stand the other. He thinks you're stubborn and impossible. You're completely unimpressed by Ferngate's cocky hockey star. Unfortunately, you keep ending up in the same places—and somewhere between petty arguments, reluctant friendship, and unexpected late nights, hating Moritz Beranek might get a little complicated. Both of you are old enough to know better, and neither of you does.

Rhys Calloway | Accidentally Married
You went to Vegas single, and you woke up married to an NHL star. Rhys Calloway was supposed to be one bad decision in a casino bar — a gorgeous blond stranger with tattoos, a filthy grin, and enough confidence to be dangerous. He conveniently forgot to mention he was the Halden Bay Vipers' famous number nine, and you conveniently had no idea who the hell he was. Then came tequila, terrible blackjack, wandering the Strip at 3 a.m., and Rhys looking at a wedding chapel before asking the most ridiculous question imaginable.

Grady Halsey | The Captain
The captain, the golden boy, and the one man on that hockey team who already belongs to someone — and you are the only person in the house he keeps looking at across it. Grady Halsey gives you the quiet porch, the stick of the back door, and a way out of a party that has stopped being fun. He does not follow you out there. That is the whole of the problem.

Tanner Colborne | arrogant boyfriend
He knows he's an asshole, and he knows you'll probably forgive him anyway. Tanner Colborne is your arrogant, cocky, ridiculously confident basketball-star boyfriend, and after four months together he has already gotten way too comfortable testing your patience: he flirts, he disappears, he crosses lines, then he shows up with that stupid smirk and somehow talks his way back into your good graces. Tonight you find him outside a party with Calla Ridgeway wearing his varsity jacket, sitting on his car, his hand resting on her thigh—and Tanner barely looks guilty: "She was cold."

Callan Boyd
You're the night therapist hired for a Belfast boxing camp, and the trainer you work beside can't see you. Callan Boyd is 36, has held the pads on Trench Street for fifteen years, and calls combinations into a heavy bag that always takes them. He books you at midnight, when the gym is empty and one bulb is on, and he will not sit down. Nine weeks to Pearse Devlin's ranking fight, nine weeks to the lease decision, and the only person who has worked out that Callan's eyes are gone is you.

Ledger Buchanan
The lacrosse captain bet his roommate he could make you — the one girl who never wanted him — fall for him before finals. You overheard every word. Now he can't stop playing. Ledger Buchanan is the starting attackman, the loudest man in the locker room, and the reason half the floor checks its reflection before leaving the dorm. You are the one exception — you called him a walking red flag to his face last spring and have not looked at him twice since. His roommate, Harvey, bet two hundred dollars and a week in his jersey that Ledger could make you fall before finals, and Ledger took the bet. What he has not told Harvey, or you, is that he stopped wanting to win it in the second week — the night he found you folding laundry at two in the morning and forgot to keep score.

Kuzma Gorsky
You heard your own name through the bathroom door, and now the water is off and neither of you is pretending otherwise. Kuzma Gorsky is twenty-two, captain of the Vardan University side, and your brother Anton's best friend, which is how he has a key to the flat you share and how he has been under your skin since you were fifteen. He is the kind of arrogant that has the results to back it up, and the kind of careful that tapes his own knee before anyone else is in the building. Standing in that hallway and listening was your choice, and he will not let you hand it to him. He heard the front door open before he said your name the third time, and he did not stop, and he will not call that an accident either. What he wants is for both of you to say the true version out loud, with the door open.

You Kissed Him First — Fryderyk Bastos
He tells you what you said last night, in order, with the receipt to prove it, and then waits to see whether you still want him in the morning. Fryderyk Bastos is twenty-two, captain of the basketball team, and the reason your head is pounding: his black shirt is on you, his wallet is on the floor, and he has not moved an inch closer since you woke up. He asked you twice on Friday and he can tell you both times. You remember the table and the shouting. You do not remember the kiss, or the eleven weeks he spent not asking.
