Worth Every Second

Sharing certain kinds of personal photos online is a risky move, especially for the star player on a college football team. The narrator takes that risk anyway, and it leads him to someone he never expected to care about. A woman who comments on his posts and trades long, endless messages with him catches his full attention.

Once he realizes that the woman he has been talking to is the quiet classmate who has sat beside him all semester, he wants the chance to get to know her in person. She keeps turning him down, but he refuses to walk away. He is determined to show her that she is worth the effort, even though she doesn't see it herself.

The story is self-contained and centers on the romance between these two college students. Readers who want content warnings can find them on the author's website.
