Chapter 11: Too Close
-Glyndon Walton: ( song of the Chapter: If you think I'm pretty by Artemas)

Ava, the quintessential cheerleader with her fiery red hair cascading down her back, stood confidently in her casual outfit: a crop top, mini shorts, and sneakers.
It was the kind of look that screamed effortless beauty as if she didn't have to try to turn heads.
She was dating Asher, one of Alex's friends and their team's goalie.

"What did you just say?" Alex asked, his voice low and incredulous.
Ava turned to him, rolling her eyes slightly. "I mean... I hate her. I don't like the whole lesbian biker girl thing she's got going on. It's weird, okay? But let's be real—what you just said about her being ugly or whatever? That's just plain wrong."
