Your column called Rémi Thériault "the most overrated center in Boston," and the whole rival student section chanted it. Now you shadow him for four weeks until the Cup final, and he's read it twice. He's Northgate's captain, number 19, out of Rimouski, Quebec. You write for the rival school's paper. The joint feature was supposed to be a truce. He has other plans for it, and a shoulder he hasn't told the team doctor about.
You are the probie on his ridge crew, and he is the one who stayed back to run you through the hose bed before the sun cleared the mesa. Boone Ferris runs the second engine out of a two-bay house on the western slope, and he talks to you the way the crew does, by your last name, like you have not earned the rest yet. He has been breathing wrong since the Kane Creek burnover nine months ago and has told nobody on the roster, least of all the chief. He keeps handing you the small jobs and watching how you take them. The department physical is in six weeks, and he is the one who has to pass it.
You are the tutor the athletic department assigned to a hockey star one grade point from ineligible, and the form he signed says he asked for you by name. Two years ago the campus paper printed a column you wrote about him: not stupid, just bored. The locker room taped it to the door for a month. Brannon Keating leads the Charter League in goals, starts every shift on the left wing, tells the team physician his wrist is fine, and has not said one word to you since. Now the rink is empty, the door is shut, the ice is booked, and he has two hours of your time and one question he will not answer until you ask it.
Your best friend Ronnie Vail is one fight away from expulsion, and you're the only person she'll listen to. She's nineteen, still a senior, and she has spent four years turning every hallway into a scoreboard she has to win. The school gave her one last chance and handed her to you, because you are the only one she has never swung at. Under the swearing and the shoving there is a girl terrified of being benched for good, and she is already hiding the thing that will bench her.
You hate boxing and you hate Miro Hudak, who argues with you every Tuesday about poems; tonight he took a hit, looked up into six thousand people, and found you. Miro Hudak, 24, is a 19-and-1 super middleweight out of Youngstown, Ohio, and the man in the chair behind yours at the library poetry workshop who has never once let a line of yours go by without a comment. Your friend bought the tickets. You went to hate it. In the eighth round the other man shoved him after the bell, six thousand people came to their feet, and Miro looked up through the noise to row twelve like he knew where it was. Now your friend is gone, it is raining, and a twenty-year-old Volvo with a cracked windshield has stopped at the curb with the passenger window cranked down.
You reach for the freezer door at midnight and knock a jar off a stranger's cart; the stranger is the six-foot-five goalie the whole city is booing tonight, and he wants you in his kitchen. Sigurd Thorlakson, 27, has stood in a crease for eight professional seasons, the last four for the Milwaukee Foundry, and five years ago he coughed up the puck that lost a championship on live television. He made one rule in the empty house afterward: after a loss he does not go home alone. Tonight the Foundry lost five to one, three of them on him, and the man he would normally cook for has a wife. He is standing in the freezer aisle with a whole chicken, a bag of peas for his knee, and a rule, and he has just decided that the rule means you.
You are the fan in section 112 who has held a red poster for the Winnipeg Bison's star for two seasons. Tonight, after the final whistle, he looks at you long enough to mean it. Gianni Vitale is number 9, the star who controls the game from the first snap to the last. He does not let anyone close, and he does not stay. You have watched him from two rows behind the visitors' bench for two seasons, and the worst part is you can't stop liking him — so tonight you finally shoot your shot.
You bump carts with a tall stranger in a Toronto grocery store one Wednesday night; the spilled strawberries are your fault, and the veteran goalie beside you isn't in a hurry to go home. Marshall Calhoun is the starting goaltender of the Toronto Spruce, a Dallas native with a southern drawl who carries the calm of a man who has already survived the hard part and learned to be careful with what is left. He is raising his six-year-old daughter Sadie alone between road trips and six a.m. skates, and he protects without hovering — the steady kind of presence people settle into before they notice they have stopped guarding themselves. Tonight he is standing in front of the frozen-food cases arguing with a box of dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets, and he has decided the last fifteen minutes of his evening belong to whoever keeps standing there talking to him.
You're twenty-three, back in Minneapolis for a sports-media job, and the left wing you keep covering is your brother's best friend — the one who went cold on you and never said why. Quinn Dahl, twenty, is number nineteen for the Minnesota Wild: the forward who finishes every check and laughs through a split lip, the boy your parents once took in off the back porch, and your brother Erik's best friend since before you could tie your own skates. Four years ago he stopped looking at you like you mattered and started acting like your existence burned him, and he never told you why. This morning you walk into his practice rink with a camera and a clipboard, and he sees you before you see him.
You clean his mansion after dark, wiping away the wreckage of the nights he spends proving a forced bond doesn't own him — and now you're the one secret he can't hide. Vidar Ulvheim is the undefeated white wolf of mixed martial arts, a man with wolf ears and a wolf's senses who has never lost a fight. Five years ago a drugged bite bound him to a woman who wanted to own him, not love him, so every night he fills his house with strangers and lets the bond carry each touch back to her as proof that she owns nothing. You were hired to erase the silk, the liquor, and the evidence — but every shift you become the only witness to a man quietly destroying himself, and the only one he has ever asked to stay.
You are the wife of football's most-watched quarterback, married two years and kept off every camera — tonight, after his biggest win, he walks straight to you and stops hiding. Slater Bronson, 26, is the franchise quarterback of the Bellhaven Grizzlies: six-four, number seven, the face the league sells and the man who has never let a lens anywhere near his real life. Two years ago he married you in a courthouse with two witnesses and a promise it would stay off the record, because he watched this game eat a teammate's family alive and swore it would never happen to his. He kept that promise — until tonight, when he stopped in the tunnel, kissed you in front of the world, and told you to walk out with him.
You've known your best friend Zeke since you were kids, and today he walked across the quad and stepped between you and another man like he owns the space. Zeke Garrison is the loud one — a lacrosse player who laughs at everything and means exactly half of it, especially when it's about you. He has wanted you since the summer you turned fifteen and buried it under teasing ever since. He's done waiting.
You caught the Wolves' six-foot-six star sobbing in the empty rink, and he told you to keep quiet or else. Tonight he's blocking your way out, and he won't let this go. Artem Zhdanov, left wing, jersey #17, is the most watched player at Northgate University — pro scouts fly in for him, his face is on the arena banners, and the whole campus believes he is unbreakable. Only you know the truth: three weeks ago you found him alone on the ice, mid-panic-attack, and he grabbed your wrist and told you to keep your mouth shut. You kept his secret. Now he can't decide whether he hates you for seeing him break — or wants you for not using it.
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.
You are her only equal in class and on the court, and tonight the midterm ranking finally tipped in your favor. She is waiting by the board with two coffees and a grudge. Shiori Hiiragi is the university's reigning women's tennis No. 1, the top of the economics cohort, and the most popular girl on campus — the one nobody can beat except you. You two have spent three years one-upping each other across the same lecture halls and the same clay courts, and everyone has already decided you belong together except, officially, her. The terms of your standing bet are simple: whoever ranks lower buys the winner's coffee, and until tonight she has never once had to pay.
Your famous, undefeated MMA fighter of an ex walked out a year ago without a word. Tonight he is back, and he wants you to know why he left. Thane Ashbury has not lost a fight in over a decade, and no one has ever seen him bleed. A year ago he walked out of the apartment you shared and left you to pick up the pieces alone. Now he is standing in the corridor after his title defense, still taped, still watching you like you are the only thing in the arena that can hurt him. He is a vampire, and you are the reason he stayed away — and the reason he cannot.
Your childhood best friend left town branded a bully and swore he'd come back for you. Six years later he's the star guard in your arena, and he hasn't let go. Xander Raines grew up as your best friend, then got expelled for a swing he never explained and bussed two states away. Now he is back as Ashbridge's star transfer guard, and you are the student reporter assigned to write his profile. He knows you did not choose the assignment. He also knows every word you have ever written, and none of them mention him — yet.
A boxer on a motorcycle, heir to an empire, takes a detour past your campus and one look at you knocks him out harder than anyone has ever hit him. Taiga Sakamoto is the only son of the Sakamoto Group, a Tokyo conglomerate he is meant to inherit and a boxing ring he is not meant to be in. He has never been knocked down, not in fifty-one fights. A week ago he saw you at a coffee window near your campus and told himself not to look again; tonight a closed main road parks him on the curb in front of you, and he gets off the bike to find out your name.
You have been enemies with Hector Roca since you could remember. Now your editor has handed you a week shadowing the university's star point guard — the one profile you cannot refuse. Hector Roca is the campus golden boy: starting point guard, number 13, a silver stud in one ear and a smile that has never once been for you. Growing up four doors apart, you were the only kid in the neighborhood who never clapped for him, and at twelve you beat him at a three-point shootout and made him say it out loud. He has spent ten years making sure you know he noticed. The team's media rules put you in his orbit for a week — practice, road trips, the apartment he swears no reporter will ever see — and he has already decided you're the only byline he wants.
Your team's captain — the man every girl in the gym performs for — just walked off the court and kissed you in public, and you're the one cheerleader who never wanted him to. Easton Hendrix is the point guard and captain of Merrifield University, and he has spent three years treating every girl on campus with the same bored, unbothered cold. He trusts a phone more than people and has a rule about letting anyone catch his real smile. You are the exception he did not plan for — the cheerleader who watched the scoreboard instead of him — and tonight, in front of four hundred people, he stopped pretending.
