Aaliyah pivots with the ball in her hand as two girls guard her. They have an advantage because they're taller than her, but that's not stopping anyone. Seeing that Nora is open, she passes it to her and takes the opportunity to run away.

It's the first game back, of course, it's packed in here. Jimin and Maddie sit in the student section, simply just watching the game and exchanging their thoughts on the game. However, someone else is on the court with Aaliyah.

Taehyung.

He applied to be the photographer for the girl's basketball season this semester and he loves it, finally able to be involved with the school. He walks around the court snapping pictures of the players, mascot, and students.

The students are all loud and both teams are playing with all they've got. All except one person.

Nora is now the one being blocked, and Aaliyah is open again. Nora looks at her, goes back to dribbling, and decides to shoot a difficult shot.

She misses.

The Spartans student section "awws" in unison. Jimin and Maddie stand irritated, knowing that the girl simply didn't pass because of a petty beef. Taehyung shakes his head as he walks around the court, from where he was standing there was no way Nora was going to make that shit.

The coach for the Spartans calls a timeout and the other school team chants, filling the gym as they walk to their sides.

"Talk it over!" *clap clap, clap clap clap*
"Talk it over!" *clap clap, clap clap clap*
"Talk it over!" *clap clap, clap clap clap*

They're losing by 6 right now, but there's enough time to have a comeback. But that's only if everyone plays like they give a damn.

"Girls, y'all gotta start going harder!" Their coach yells. "This supposed to be an easy win! Y'all hear me?!"

"Yes, coach!"

"Coach who?"

"Coach Blue!"

The coach breaks away from the huddle, now giving the captains time to talk to the team. He thinks it builds team unity.

"Nora what the fuck are you doing?" Victoria asks, her tone calm but stern as she calls her out. "Stop being selfish with the ball."

"I thought I'd make the shot." Nora defends herself with a bit of nonchalance in her voice.

"No you didn't. You can barely make that shot at practice so what made you think you were making it in the actual game?" Aaliyah calls her out. "Lay ups and speed are your bread and butter, we all know that. Just say you didn't wanna pass the ball to me."

"You're right, I didn't." Nora rolls her eyes. "Because who's to say you'd make it?"

"My stats would." Aaliyah says back, almost insulted.

Nora walks away from the huddle, ignoring the sound of Victoria calling her name. Aaliyah follows though, wanting her to listen. Her gaze softens as she looks at the girl, she's angry but also just disappointed.
