LILITH'S POV

After getting a full ride scholarship to Cornell University everything went by so fast from the moment I got the good news to the moment I said goodbye to my family.

I turned 19 two months ago and here I am writing my own story, I'm a basketball player this is one of the main reasons I got a scholarship but Basketball isn't my main focus, my main focus is becoming an architect

When they made the offer to me I wasn't sure if I was going to take it or not, dont get me wrong it's an amazing opportunity but in my country I had everything my parents have a very successful business and knowing that I would from scratch threw me off a little.

After discussing it with my parents I made up my mind I wanted to make a name of myself and I couldn't do that if I was under their roof. My dad and brother were against it for a couple of days but seeing me excited changed their mind. They offered to pay for my rent until I finished university which was a good opportunity for me to save up some money


I've been in this school for a year now and I couldn't be more happy I have some amazing teammates fantastic friends a bitch ass math teacher that is making my life a living hell day by day.

Is it hard to manage architecture and basketball at the same time? Hell yeah it is, Its very stressful but so far im handling it pretty well.

"Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck I'm late" I glanced at my phone it said 8:03 School starts at 8:15 "What a good way to start my sophomore year, At least im not a freshman anymore" I said to myself and jumped off the bed.

After putting on a pair of sweatpants and a white crop top I got my bag and ran out of the house Thanking my mom for the good hair genes I shower go to sleep and boom perfect hair with the perfect volume in the morning.

I get in my car which my brother bought me for my birthday a white glc 2023 with a dark reddish interior this car is a beast i've been wanting a mercedes since I was around 14 and its the best birthday gift ever.

I arrived at school around 8:34 am I look at my schedule and sigh "Really, Math?" I groan "She already hates me" I say to myself, this program got me talking to myself all the time.

I tighten the bag straps and sprint down the hallway "Might as well not even show up" I think as I was approaching the corner of the hall-

"The fuck" I groan

"Anderson language" Some deep voice reaches my brain

I open my eyes just to see a tall figure with brown hair and olive skin Mr Jones my coach, my favorite person in the world Mr Barnes our physiotherapist this sweet old man that has been like a father figure for me.

Mr Jones fakes a cough and I immediately got up on my feet He nods his head towards the ground, confused I look down.

There's a girl she looks around my age dark brown hair dark brown eyes her arms covered in tattoos and-

"Lilith honey help the poor girl" Mr Barnes says

"OH shit yeah my bad" I put my hand out to help her she takes my hand and gets up.

Shes tall like very tall or its just me being a 5'5 pg She looks around 5'10 5'11-ish coach got some good taste in recruiting players

"Anderson you're late, don't you have a class to go to?" Coach asks with a raised eyebrow

"Uh, I think I might have a concussion" I hit my head pretty hard not gonna lie

"What class are you supposed to be in right now?" He asks

"Hm, Math-"

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE GO YOU KNOW U CANT BE LATE TO MRS SMITH'S CLASS YOU IDIOT"

"WELL MY BAD COACH I ACCIDENTALLY GOT A CONCUSSION WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO" I yelled back freaking out

"Go now don't waste anymore time"

I turn towards the new girl "I'll make it up to you later im so sorry" I say as I start running and I yell a bye as I do

Finally reaching the classroom I knock nervously and enter the class

"Sorry Mrs I got into a little acci-"

"I don't want to hear it go sit"

She says and I am a little relived.I spot two of my teammates that are actually pretty close friends of mine.I make my way up to them and sit down.

"You guys won't believe what I saw like 5 minutes ago" I whispered

They looked at me confused and I took that as a sign to continue talking

"So as you might see I'm a little late right, I was sprinting down the hallway to get to class when I collided with someone, when I opened my eyes i saw coach Barnes and a girl not much older than me"

Their eyes went wide

"You're saying that we have a new teammate?" Jenny said

I nodded "She had dark hair brown eyes she was pretty tall like giant tall and god her arms were covered in tattoos they were ama-" Emily interrupted me by elbowing my side

"What" I looked at her

"I thought you said new teammate not a potential crush you know you don't want to date inside the team again , you know what you went through last year"

"I don't do crushes and I know that I'm just
being a nice friend and describing her to y-" I get interrupted again IF I GET INTERRUPTED ONE MORE TIME I SWEAR

"Anderson" The old hag says

"Yes Mrs Smith is there a problem?" I ask

"First of all you show up late then you give me attitude? I don't expect this type of behavior from a student that's here on a scholarship"

"So next time you decide to make noise in my class I'll make sure you never enter this class again understand?"

Is she for real right now? "Sorry, my bad miss wont happen again" I hear Jen and Em snicker because of my lame ass apology, look I'm a good student and not good at apologizing plus I wasn't the only one talking she deserved it

After that I tried to concentrate on the class but I couldn't math is annoying especially when its the first thing u see when u wake up. The class ended pretty fast grabbing my bag and my friends I made it out of the class when the three of us got a notification

"Guys its coach" Jenny said

I look at the notification written in all caps

"I want everyone in the gym at 3pm not for practice I have an announcement to make" Emily read the message in a deep voice trying to make a Mr Jones impression

We all laughed at that

"Damn She special special coach didn't do this when I came to the team" I said earning a laugh from both of them not to get cocky or anything but I'm one of the best and most reliable players on the team

I blinked twice, Well more like I fell asleep and woke up and it was almost three,Knowing what was about to come I walked slowly towards the gym

A/N
