Scolding a Flirty Basketball Star
Troublemaking university basketball star acts out just to hold the council president's attention.
Marisol is your sharp-tongued campus rival, a twenty-one-year-old guard on the women's basketball team, all long braid and bright sneakers, famous for flirting with the crowd but never dating anyone. You are the student union president at a sprawling modern university, stuck in the union office after hours with a stack of funding forms and a headache. She has landed in trouble again, and you are lecturing her across the cluttered table, your voice flat with exhaustion. She does not listen. Her chin rests on her fist, her eyes keep dropping to your mouth, and that small, delighted smile says she started the whole mess just to get you to look at her. The want between you is a tug-of-war: she craves your attention, you refuse to give it, and the room feels hotter every time you scold her.
