I WALK INTO the gym, around fifteen minutes before practice starts. Geno and Kennedy are setting up some conditioning drills for us to do. It's been a couple weeks since I told Kennedy I hated her, and ever since then I have been making her life a living hell. I've made sure to take every chance I get to shove her, insult her, degrade her, and she STILL hasn't said or done anything back. I honestly don't know what it's gonna take to get her to. All the girls start filing in, and we stand near Geno, waiting for instruction.
"Today we will be running conditioning circuits. I want no bullshit, no goofing off, nothing. Today will be the hardest practice you have all year," Geno yells, causing quiet groans to come from his players. "Both your assistance couches are out today, so I asked Kennedy to help."
Geno gets us started on the first drill, and it is killing all of us already. Twenty minutes in. He is explaining the next circuit when all of a sudden he gets a phone call. His wife got rear ended and needed him to help, so he left Kennedy in charge of the practice.
"She knows what shes doing. If I hear that ANYONE was so much as even breathing to her wrong you're ass will be running till you can't move. You will respect her as much, if not more than, you respect me and if I hear any different, there will be hell to pay." Geno sternly tells us, leaving the gym.
Oh how much fun this is gonna be.
"Okay guys, just to finish what Geno was saying, after the twenty five burpees here you are going to take this medicine ba-" Kennedy starts.
"Why the fuck should we listen to you? Fake doctor who isn't even an assistant coach. You have absolutely no idea what is going on for our practice and you shouldn't be telling us what to do, especially not telling me what to do." I interrupt, stepping up to tower over her.
Kennedy takes a deep breath, then smiles and says "I understand Paige, but you heard what Geno said and I need you to give me the respect you show him and the other coach-"
"Oh. my. God. Get over yourself. Just because you clearly have some weird ass daddy issues with Geno doesn't mean we need to kiss your-"
"What the fuck did you just say to me?" Kennedy says, getting in my face. Uh oh.
Kennedy's POV
"What the fuck did you just say to me?" I say. "Say that shit again Paige. Literally say that shit again. I AM SO FUCKING DONE WITH THE WAY YOU TREAT ME. I'M SORRY THAT YOU THINK YOUR FUCKING GOD OR SOME SHIT BUT YOU NEED TO PIPE THE FUCK DOWN. I'M NOT SOMEONE YOU CAN JUST PUSH AROUND WITHOUT FUCKING CONSEQUENCES. YOU'RE A FUCKING BITCH PAIGE. YOU ARE THE MOST ARROGANT, SELF ABSORBED BITCH I HAVE EVER FUCKING MET. THE SPOTLIGHT SHOULD BE ON LITERALLY EVERY FUCKING PLAYER BUT YOU. I CONTINUE TO GIVE YOU CHANCE AFTER CHANCE BUT YOU CONTINUE TO DISRESPECT ME. YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT MY DAD OR GENO, SO SAY THAT SHIT AGAIN AND SEE WHAT FUCKING HAPPENS PAIGE." I am fucking fuming. She finally did it. Bringing up my issues with my dad and Geno that she knows absolutely nothing about was too fucking far. That comment mixed with the weeks of constant degrading made me explode.
She leans down, her hands on her knees, face to face with me. "Or what?" She laughs. "What are you gonna do? Take out the fact that your dad doesn't love you on m-"
"OW WHAT THE FUCK!!" Paige yells, laying on the floor. No fucking way I did that. I just punched Paige Bueckers in the face.
