Inescapable

Part 3

Blaire POV
Time-skip a few days

I'm getting ready for my bio class again. I'm in my room doing my hair when Ivy comes in to talk before we leave.

"You promise you're going to talk to her today right?" She asks.
"Yes I'll explain everything to her if I see her"I respond as I finish my hair. I turn around to look at her. "But there's no guarantee that she'll be in class you know" I add.
"Well if she is make sure you tell her the truth ok? She asks.
"Ok ok I will jeez" I reply as I grab my bag and head out the door.

When I get to class I sit in the same area as last time and wait for the prof to get there. As I'm pulling out my computer I feel someone walk up to me. When I look up I see it's Paige.

"Hey can I sit with you today?" She asks.
"Yea I mean no one's sitting here so it's cool I guess" I respond.

She sits next to me and we start talking about the class assignments. I ask her how basketball is going and she asks about my other classes which reminds me I need to tell her the truth.

"Paige I kinda need to tell you something" I tell her quietly.
"Yeah what is it? She asks.
"Um so the other day I might've lied when I said I had to leave to go to another class" I tell her without looking at her.
"Why would you need to lie about that tho?" She asks.
"Well sometimes I get nervous around people and I kind of just started talking then ran away" I say anxiously.
"Oh it's fine I understand. People tell me  I'm intimidating all the time anyway" she says laughing.
"Ok don't get too full of yourself it was a one time thing. You don't intimidate me anymore Paige Bueckers" I respond smiling.
"Oh really? We'll see about that Blaire" she says confidently.

We look at each other for a minute until the prof comes in and starts going through her PowerPoints. We talk here and there throughout class until it over. As we walk out Paige asks if I want to go get coffee with her since I don't actually have another class and hers got cancelled. I say yes so we walk to a nearby coffee shop.

"I'll get our drinks if you wanna grab us a table" Paige offers.
"Yea sure I'll have a mocha frappe thanks" I tell her as I reach out hand her some money for my drink.
"Oh no it's fine I invited you so I'll pay" she says as she goes to get in line.

After she order our drinks she comes to sit at the table I found for us and wait for our order to get called.

"So tell me about yourself" she says to me.
"Why are you so curious?" I ask suspiciously.
"I like you. You're nice and funny I can't want to get to know you?" She casually ask back.
" I guess but when you ask a question I get to ask one too" I laughs.
"Ok that's fair. What's your favorite color? Mine is blue" She says.
"My favorite is purple" I answer. "What's your zodiac sign?"
"I'm a Libra. What's your favorite food?" She asks.
" oh that's hard. It's probably Mac and cheese right now but it changes a lot. Do you have siblings?" I ask back.

We keep going like this for a minute before a barista called our order out and Paige goes to pick it up. When she gets back we keep talking for a while but we have to leave soon because Paige has practice.

We say bye to each other and part ways as I head home. Basketball season is about to start and I decide to order tickets for me and Ivy online for the first game since it's home. I haven't seen Paige play in a while and am excited to watch her again.

Paige POV

When I get to the gym the team stretches and starts warming up together. Practice is good and not too bad today but I feel something off about me today. My shots aren't falling and I keep getting distracted. For a while I can't figure out what's wrong with me but I eventually realize my mind keeps wondering back to Blaire.

Blaire is funny, chill, and totally hot. I don't usually think about people like this but I find I don't mind since it's her. Even tho she's definitely my type I don't know if she likes me or even if she likes girls in general. Also basketball is about to start and I can't be distracted during games like I was today during practice. It really doesn't matter I don't really like her she's just attractive.

When practice is over me, Azzi, and Nika go to our room. Once inside I flip on the couch and whine to them about how distracted I was today.

"There's this girl in my bio class named Blair and we talk sometimes and I was just thinking about her today...like all practice" I explain.
"If you're thinking about her that much should you maybe I don't know ask her out" Azzi questions.
"Because I don't know if I'm actually interested or just like her as a person" I tell her.
"What does she look like?" Nika asks.
"Hold on let me see if I can find her on insta" I say as I pull out my phone.
"Here found it" I say as I show them her account.
"Wow Paige she's hot"Azzi says in awe.
"Yeah if you don't want her I do" Nika agrees.
"Hey hands off you don't even know her" I say snatching back my phone and adding her.
"Woah protective are we" Nika laughs.
"Yea yea I'm getting in the shower you guys go bother someone else" I call at them as I leave the room.
"You're the one whining about your problems to us" Azzi shouts back.

Once I'm done showering I go to my room to chill and think about today. After a while I decide to just become friends with Blaire and see how things go so we can get to know each other better.
