CHAPTER ONE,
"one look and i knew it was you"

MALIA SAT IN HER ROOM. Currently focusing on editing the youtube video she filmed earlier that week. She was very strict with her upload schedule, but lately she'd been slacking and totally forgot that she was supposed to upload a new video later today.

Malia took interest in filming content and being who she is, became a very known content creator. With 500k+ on youtube and close to three million followers on instagram. She'd gain many brand deals and endorsements, which is very rare for non-athletes.

Being as busy as she was, her parents recommended that she instead get an editor to take some weight off her shoulders. But Malia declined, claiming that nobody could edit her videos like how she wanted them, except her.

Malia sighed as she pressed upload before picking up her phone to look at the time. Remembering that she's also going to a game later with her dad and brothers. "Malia," she heard, followed by a knock on the door.

"Come in," she yelled back, putting her phone down. The door opened, revealing her dad standing in the doorway. "Hey dad, what's up?" Malia questioned.

"Hey princess, start getting ready. We're leaving in an hour," he said making Malia nod her head in response as he closed the door. Malia pushed her laptop off of her lap, standing up from the bed.

She walked over to the other side of her room, where her walk through closet is. Malia's closet was filled to the brim with multiple designer items. Most of which were gifts from her family and friends. Malia isn't a very materialistic person though, she always loved gifts from the heart over everything.

"What am I going to wear?" Malia said, dragging her sentence as she looked around her closet.
         

"Looks like Lebron and his kids are in the building, sitting courtside," the announcer beamed through the stadium. Making the cameras go to them, showing them each on the jumbotron. Malia smiled, politely waving then blowing a kiss to the camera as it moved to show the other celebrities at the game.

Malia opened her gucci bag that was crossed over her body, grabbing her dior lip oil and her mini travel mirror. Applying the oil thoroughly on her lips while looking into the mirror. She looked up, seeing the game was close to starting as both teams starting five were being introduced. She put both of the items back in her purse before putting her eyes onto the court.

Malia cheered hearing the name Juju Watkins being called. Malia and Juju were close friends, despite their almost three year age gap. She always saw Juju as her little sister and Juju saw her as her big sister.

Malia was and still is always there for Juju. When she was the top recruit in her class and all eyes were on her, Malia stayed by her side and always supported her. Going to all her games and events, no matter how far. They're family.

Many fans expected Malia to follow in her brothers and father's foot steps and play basketball. But unfortunately, she didn't get her dad's height, standing at only 5 foot 4 inches. Even so she still enjoyed watching the sport, it always kept her at the edge of her seat.

Soon after USC finished introducing their starting five, UCONN began theirs. Malia watched as each player would walk up as the announcer called their name. Malia kept her eyes on the last player the announcer called. Paige Bueckers.

'She's really pretty' Malia thought to herself as she kept her eyes on the girl.

Malia is bisexual, which most of her family knows. Including her parents, who she was especially hesitant to tell. They were the last people she told. She wasn't scared of her mom, more so her dad. With them being widely known, she didn't know how he would take it. Scared that he would shame her or worse.
