Maya leaned against her dorm room door, trying to steady her breathing. Outside, she could still hear voices. Tank and Marcus trying to separate Ethan and Mateo. Other students murmuring, phones clicking.
It's fine. They'll break it up. Everyone will go to breakfast. This will blow over.
But she knew that was a lie. Nothing blew over at Pacific Elite. Especially not when it involved the team captain and vice-captain fighting in a hallway.
Her phone buzzed incessantly. She'd turned off notifications but could still see the screen lighting up. Messages. Tags. Posts spreading.
Don't look. Just don't look.
She looked.
The first video was already up. Shaky footage of Ethan and Mateo shoving each other. Audio catching fragments: "You made your choice... You walked away... I came back..."
The caption: Captain and Vice-Captain FIGHTING over new kid??? 👀🔥
