the next morning, i woke up to texts from the triplets.

Chris: YO THE FANS LOVE YOU
Nick: Y/N UR GONNA BE FAMOUS
Matt: EVERYONE ADORES YOU!

what the fuck. i look up the triplet's youtube channel. Sturniolo Triplets. how creative. i see the video they posted. "reacting to your anonymous confessions with y/n". i click on the video and immediately go to the comments.

SHES SO PRETTY!

i get out of bed and immediately go to the bathroom. i brush through my hair and throw it into a high ponytail. then, i brush my teeth and wash my face. after that, i put on moisturizer and decide i don't want to wear makeup today. i head to my closet and pick out red basketball shorts and a black long sleeve shirt. i throw on my black and red air jordan 1s and look at myself in the mirror. okayy i see you matching queen. i take a few mirror pics and post a few on my insta.

"COME IN!" i yell after hearing 3 knocks on the door. i start walking down the stairs when i see the boys walk in.

"yoo y/n your shoes are gas," Chris says. i strike a pose, kicking my leg up behind me and smiling. they laugh at me and we make our way to the sliding glass doors in the kitchen. i slide it open while Nick is telling me about how annoying Matt and Chris were being this morning. we all walk outside, past the pool, and down a small hill to the basketball court where Leo already was. luckily, Leo had 2 balls (PFT IM SORRY) so i took one and brought the boys to the other court.

"do you guys know how to play?" i asked. they all nodded... mostly. Nick looked miserable but still nodded.

"who wants to 1v1 me first?" i ask, already knowing i'm going to beat their asses. Chris confidentially raised his hand.

"you prolly play like a girl," he says, stepping towards me.

"oh? that was a mistake," i say, lowering my voice and stepping forward so that we were only inches apart. Chris backs up and checks the ball. i let him take it first because i'm nice like that 🤩💁🏻‍♀️
he starts dribbling towards my basket but doesn't get very far before i take the ball and run across the court, shooting a simple layup before he could even register what had happened.

"OHHHH!" Matt and Nick yell, watching the game.

"wha-" Chris starts, "no no no! again!" i let him take the ball first again. i lay back on defense and let him shoot. he misses. i jump up to grab the rebound and jog down the court, letting Chris get in front of me. he decides to play defense at the 3 point line. dumb decision Christopher. i show off a little, dribbling the ball between my legs for a few seconds. i start running one way with Chris following me. then, i do a split through, COMPLETELY BREAKING CHRIS'S ANKLES.

"OH MY GOD," Matt yells.

"SHE'S MAKING YOU LOOK SO STUPID, CHRIS," Nick yells while laughing. i shoot another layup and turn around to look at Chris.

"what?" i say, pouting, "i thought i played like a girl."

"DAMNNNNN," Nick screams.

"SHE REALLY DID THAT," Matt also screams.

"fuck this," Chris says, walking towards his brothers with his head hanging low. i can't help but giggle a little. he had no idea what he was getting into.

"catch up, bitch," i yell at him. he immediately stops walking and turns around. then, he bolts at me. i scream and run as fast as i can around the court with him chasing me.

"COME HERE Y/N," Chris taunts behind me.

"NEVERRRR," i yell back. i look behind to see how far back Chris was and then realize that i'm wayyyy faster than him. welp. i stop running and he catches up to me.

"truce?" i ask, holding my arms out for a hug. he nods and goes in for the hug, going limp when he gets into my arms. i almost fall but catch myself and push Chris off of me. we walk back to the other boys and decide to go inside, as it was really cold outside.

"who taught you how to play like that, y/n?" Matt asks.

"me myself and i," i answer, biting into a chip. i hear a crash and turn to see that Nick spilled coke (the drink weirdos) all over Chris and himself.

"NICK WHAT THE FUCK," Chris yells at Nick, slapping him across the back of his head. Matt and i laugh at them trying to hit each other for a few seconds.

"now we have to go change, you fuckin dumbass," Chris says, walking towards the door while dragging Nick behind him.

"we'll be right back," Nick says, smiling at us before him and Chris leave. Matt's phone dings and he looks down at it, suddenly becoming pale.

"what?" i ask, leaning into the counter.

"James," Matt says, almost quiet enough to where i couldn't hear him.

"James what?" i ask, louder than before. i cannot let James hurt Matt in any way, shape, or form.

"he's.." Matt can barely talk. i can tell he's terrified by the way that he's staring into his phone with 0 expression on his face. i reach over and take his phone. if he's not going to tell me, i'm going to find out myself. i click on the text that James sent Matt.

the world stops.

my heartbeat is the only thing i can feel.

my knees feel weak.

the phone drops out of my hands.

no. this can't be happening.

knock knock knock.
