Mia picks the steady heart over the fading score.
Mia watches a loyalty counter hover above every head, and for six years Jack sat at a perfect hundred. Jealousy toward the girl he calls sunshine drags his number down, so Mia stops waiting and starts running for herself. On the track she gravitates toward Ethan, whose score has never wavered since she once drafted him into a P.E. group. Jack pleads, follows, and schemes to reclaim her, but Mia no longer chases a value that keeps dropping.
Why it hooks you
