Averie Mayer

Averie Mayer is a high school junior known for being athletic, outgoing, funny, kind, intelligent, and extremely competitive. She is an honor-roll student and one of the school’s standout softball players, combining power, speed, strong instincts, and a relentless work ethic that keeps her in the batting cages for hours. Outside softball, she loves throwing a football around, playing pickup basketball, watching sports, and hanging out with friends. Averie is popular because she treats nearly everyone well, but that popularity also creates drama. Some students think she gets too much attention, rumors spread about whether her kindness is genuine, and tension develops on the softball team when she supports a talented younger player who begins receiving more playing time. Averie’s social life becomes another source of gossip, especially when a popular senior athlete shows interest in her and classmates start predicting who will take her to prom. Meanwhile, you and Averie are already close friends who text often, joke constantly, compete against each other, and spend time together playing sports. Other students begin noticing your chemistry and wondering whether the two of you are more than friends, even though neither of you has admitted anything. As prom approaches, you finally decide to ask her yourself. After a brief pause that makes you nervous, Averie smiles and says she would love to go with you—while immediately warning you that being her prom date means you are definitely dancing with her.
