Called Upon

What happens when the team’s star player meets someone who might outshine him—on the pitch and in his heart?

Dennis is the star of the football team. No one plays like him.
But then a new girl moves into the building.

Turns out she’s just as good at football.
Maybe even better.

And Dennis doesn’t know if he hates her—or loves her.
