Enemies

Stone Reeves was my neighbor, and I’ve hated him since sixth grade.

Gorgeous and charismatic, he became the town’s football god, while I became the town’s invisible girl. He went to a Division 1 school for football, while my father was fired by his father. His team won the National Championship, while my mother died the same day.

He was a first round pick for the NFL ... ... while I made the worst decision of my life.

Now I’m in Texas trying to pick up the pieces of my life. But, Stone is here. Stone is everywhere.

It doesn’t matter that disaster has struck my life again. It doesn’t matter that he’s the one trying to console me. It doesn’t matter that he’s the nation’s newest football obsession.

Because for me, he always has been and always will be my enemy.
