After I Gave His Rival a Bottle of Water, My Crush Lost His Mind with Regret

I spent years chasing my childhood crush, only to realize he never truly wanted me—he just wanted me waiting. Then one night, his teammates dared me to give a bottle of water to his biggest hockey rival. So I did.

I thought it was just a joke. But the rival accepted my water, started chasing me for real, and suddenly the guy who never chose me couldn't stand watching me choose someone else.
