Swished Hearts

Facing Truths

Paige knew she was being petty. She knew as simple text would solve a lot of problems. But all day long she'd just been able to picture this fucking ugly tall brunette stranger with Sof.

Nika and she were the one hosting the team dinner that Friday, although it'd be a short one considering the game against Iowa on Sunday. Still, she sent a text in the gc.

No one piped a word in the groupchat after that.

"Well damn you managed to piss off Aubrey" Nika glared at Paige from across their living room.

"I don't know why she's mad" Paige defended herself.

"Probably because she has eyes and two working braincells. It wouldn't hurt you to use them sometimes"

Paige rolled her eyes. But to be fair, Nika had a point. Almost everyone questionned her that week obviously noticing a drift between the two of them. The rest of the squad trickled in for dinner, and Paige couldn't help but gulp nervously when Aubrey and Azzi arrived.
