Played By Love (New Adult Romance): a #played Novella
“Some days, Jaden flew. Most days he crashed.
The Wildcat power forward barreled toward the goal. Clods of turf spattered him as he pivoted and shielded the ball from a sliding tackle.
Jaden spread his arms, crouched and alert, his weight balanced, but ready to explode the moment before the ball shot toward him.
He lunged and hit the turf hard, his fingers slapping the ball, but it sailed into the corner of the net. Shit!
“Goal! Wildcats win!” The opposing team whooped, jumping up and down and crowding around the striker.
Jaden bounced from the the ground, his knees and elbows scuffed, and shook himself off.
Vincenzo, one of the midfielders, gave him a hand. “Bum shot.”
The rest of his teammates filed past. Even though they clapped his back or fist bumped him, acting like everything was cool, Jaden felt the silent disappointment, as if only he had failed the team.
