The 76ers were having their first game of the season. Paris came early to the game so that she could get ready to work. She was an equipment manager. She was sitting alone in her office when she saw the rookie Matisse Thybulle. He came into her office...

"Hey my name is Matisse, I'm the new rookie and I'm kinda lost." He said

She giggled, "Hi, I'm Paris, you are in the right place. Just get ready for warmups, then go down the tunnel and you can warm up, or wait in here if you would like."

"Thank you," he responded with a bright heartwarming smile and left the office. She stared at the young boy as he left.

"Paris," called a voice."Paris!" It was a little louder. "PARIS," the voice yelled, causing Paris to spill her water.

"Hey, wassup T, I didn't realize you were standing here." She said while cleaning the water from the floor.

"Nothing much, I just wanted to come and tell you the rook is here and he's gonna need a new towel, Ben kinda stole it. But I saw you already met him." Tobias responded, adding the last part with curiosity and anger because Paris was like a sister.

"Yeah I met him, he wants to know how to get to the locker room," Paris replied, tossing a towel to her friend. He took the towel and walked off after saying he'd see her later.

"Yo JoJo, come here," Ben screamed.

"You heard bout lover boy?"

"Who?"Joel responded.

Ben points at Matisse and then Ben tells him about Matisse's convo with Paris in the locker room before warm-ups.

"Who do you think is going to crack first?" Ben asks his teammate.

"I don- Joel got cut off by Tobias walking in and asking...

"What are you guys talking about?"

"Uh nothing, just talking about tonight." Ben panicked and said.

Joel ran out to go warm up with Paris and closely examined her, she was walking at a distance yet joyful.

"Alright, Joel let's start by stretching first," said Paris breaking the ice while humming Drake's song that echoed in the back. While she dribbled the ball waiting for Joel to finish stretching she noticed Matisse enter the court and take a seat in his chair. She stared at him while stopping her dribble.

As Joel watched her stare at Matisse he decided to ask the question, "Paris do you like Matisse?"

"Hm, a little bi- maybe- I don't really know. He seems sweet but we haven't really talked much." Paris responded as Joel nodded, making a mental note to not tell T or Benjamin. "Are you done with stretches?" asked Paris while noticing Matisse walk over to Joel.

"Hey man, hey Paris," Matisse said, dapping up Joel. Joel grabbed the ball from Paris and started shooting around on the opposite side of the court leaving the two alone.

"Hey Paris I've been meaning to ask you this but, do you want to hang out sometime," he smiled after asking the question.

"Sure I would love to hang out," replied Paris handing Matisse another ball so he can go warm up before Tobias sees them.
