I was here. We were here. Everyone doubted us, but yet we were in Cleveland.
All the teams we played gave us a run for our money, especially USC, but we were able to hold them off. I wanted to win this so bad. For Aaliyah and Nika, they deserved to be players that won the championship. This whole team deserved this. Even though Geno wasn't concerned with winning a championship because of all the injuries, yet we still made it.
We were the second team to arrive I think. when I grabbed my bag and got off the plane, I could see kk holding the trophy like it was her baby. I can't with her sometimes.

When we were inside they had a bunch of different events going on, not surprising that they gave KK a mini microphone. Kk asked me some questions about the Tik Tok edits. Whenever KK finally walked away, going to do whatever chaotic idea she had planned, I went to go Find Nika and Aaliyah and see what they were doing.
I was almost to them when I ran into someone at my height, my shoulder in their chest, I turned my head to look at who it was when I noticed it was an Iowa player. I recognized her face, but couldn't put a name to it. She must be a senior for the Hawkeyes. "My bad, sorry" I apologized to her. I had to admit, she was beautiful...
"Oh, no I should've been watching where I was going, you're Paige, right?" The girl asked
Shit, now I feel bad, she knows my name and I don't know hers.
"Oh yeah, that's me. your uh.." my voice trailed off
"Kate, Kate Martin. Iowa." She finished it for me
"Wow, fancy introduction, better than the announcers." I laughed awkwardly
Thankfully she returned the laugh, not finding it as awkward as I did. "Yes, well someone has to do it right," she smiled "I'll see you around?"
