Tangled In The Captains Game (Short Story)

Welcome to the wild world of Nova Skylar Flynn, where life feels like a reality show-minus the fancy editing and with way more awkward moments! Born in Austin, Texas, Nova was your average Southern girl until she lost her mom at five. Cue her dad’s midlife crisis, which involved a one-way ticket to California. Instead of sun, surf, and sand, Nova got an overprotective dad and a brother who’s basically a walking “do not date my sister” sign.

Seriously, trying to date in Crescent Valley? Not gonna happen. Asher, her six-foot-tall sibling, has mastered the art of the death glare, making sure no boy dares to look in her direction. You’d think Nova was some rare museum piece-an untouchable artifact with a security detail.

Then there’s Alya, her best friend, who’s there to keep it real. “Girl, you’re like a unicorn! No one wants to mess with the unicorn!” she jokes while rolling her eyes at Asher’s antics.

Just when Nova thinks her high school life couldn’t get any crazier, senior year throws two football captains into the mix: Ryder, the charming troublemaker, and Eric, the mysterious ice king. Both guys are completely unfazed by Asher’s protective vibe, and honestly, it’s kind of impressive.

Now, Nova’s stuck in a love triangle that’s messier than her locker. Between Ryder’s cheesy flirtations and Eric’s silent smirks, her heart is on a rollercoaster ride she didn’t sign up for. Will she break free from the “overprotective sibling” chaos, or will she forever be the rare treasure that no boy can touch?
