All's Dare in Love and Soccer

Full Summary: Erin Sanders is determined to get her reputation of being the "Queen of Dares" back for high school. But when a dare she did went a little too far, Erin has to make it up to the hot jerk-head captain of the guys' soccer team by being the team's manager. The problem is? He hates her with every fiber of his being. And though Erin feels like the feeling is mutual, it doesn't help her lack of knowledge in soccer. To make things worse, he turns out to be her partner for a very important project as well. How is she supposed to be a good team manager, manage her perfect "A" average in school, try and win back her reputation, while balancing her somewhat of a love life, and now, dealing with a hot jerk, all at the same time? But of course, all's dare in love and soccer.

He'd been staring at me again. Actually, I had a feeling he was still staring at me—as in, he never stopped. I mean, it wasn't that big of a deal-it's not like he acted embarrassed about it, but it still felt a little...intense.

I gave my head a small but firm shake. Who cares if he was staring? Why did that suddenly make my stomach queasy? And why isn't it a bad kind of queasy?

I stared at his eyes the whole time he was getting ready to leave—in my own little blue world. "Why me?" What a nice blue world I'm in...

Tyler grabbed his bag and smirked at me as he started backing towards the library door slowly; his blue, blue eyes never leaving mine. "Where else can we find someone who willingly makes a fool of themselves constantly, better than you?"

And just like that, my little blue trance evaporated, as if the giant bubble I was in suddenly blew up and popped. I heard the needle-on-a-broken-record sound playing in my head. What was I thinking, honestly? Why would I possibly think about him—er...his eyes in that way? They were the eyes of the devil. And there's no way I would dream of his eyes tonight.
