You and me

Chapter 4: Ignore

Ella p.o.v

Practice was coming to an end now with everybody shooting free throws . Nika had came back out not to linger after i did. I was basically ignoring nika and ally since they both had came out. Focusing on the other girls. I guess seeing Ally and Nika together kinda hurt my feelings a little bit. I know that i said maybe her being with someone would make me feel better but it makes me feel worse. I don't even know why.

"Hey..What's on your mind?" Azzi said walking up to me. I'm guessing she had finished up all her free throws and was waiting for everyone else to finish up as well. "Nothing..Honestly just a little tired, you know?" A ball had came at my legs it was Nika's i mean i couldn't just leave it. So i hurried and passed it back looking away as soon as i passed it. "Are you sure it's just tiredness?" She asked me with one eyebrow lifted. I closed my eyes and sighed. "I mean i guess there's more to it." Azzi's way to good at reading people. It's kinda scary when thinking about it. "Is it Nika?" She asked dribbling the ball in her hand. What the hell how did she even know. I probably looked awkward earlier handing her back the ball. "Don't worry i wont say anything and i think i already know what the situation is. So you don't have to say anything if you want." She said smiling at me. I smiled back and sighed. "Thanks for understanding azzi." I said hugging her. "No problem,text me if you need anything." She said heading towards Paige to probably mess with her.

I felt somebody looking at me but decided to ignore it. Everyone soon finished and was called to huddle up. I stood beside geno as he talked to the girls. "So girls we start the season real quick, our first game is sadly an away game. We will be going against Baylor. Be ready for whoever is your roommate it will be sent out tonight after me and coaches discuss." He said looking strictly at the girls. It didn't really matter who is roomed with but Nika as my roommate. Sounds like a nightmare not even kidding. Geno finally let everybody out after the chant. I stayed back a little talking to a few of the girls as they started walking to the locker room. Everyone was soon in the locker room or at least i thought.

"Ella!" I head someone say it sounded like Nika. I sighed and kept walking away. not long after i felt a hand holding my wrist and turning me around. "Why are you ignoring me?" She said looking at me. I shrugged my shoulders putting my head down. She grabbed my chin gently lifting my face up. "Look at me.." She said her cheeks were red and her eyes were burning holes through mine. "Why are you ignoring me?" She asked for a second time, this time a bit more strictly. "I don't i-i just." I said stuttering my words. "You just what..?" It went quiet for a second. "I just feel so confused.." I felt like i could cry in this moment. Not making it any better than she's touching me and staring me in my eyes. "Confused about..?" She asked it felt like she was interrogating me. "THAT I LIKE YOU." I said moving her hand from my chin. The very thing that was killing me as we talked. She was still looking at me. " I don't know what to do.." I felt tears coming to my eyes. "i like you and seeing you with ally, the girl that very much obviously doesn't like me..makes me feel even worse about it. I just.. I just like you-"

She cut me off by her lips meeting mine. I was surprised as my eyes widened but soon started closing slowly. The kiss was so passionate it made my heart beat fast. Her hand was on my waist wrapped around it. My hands were cupping her face gently. The fear of getting caught didn't even cross my mind. At the moment all i wanted was her. She pulled away from the kiss. "Nobody has my heart more than you do el, Your special. More special than any girl I've been with. Ally doesn't matter to me, you do though." She said as her hands were still around my waist. I couldn't be happier i hugged her tightly putting my arms around her neck. Her head was nuzzled in the crook of my neck. I could feel her lips forming into a smile. She's so precious to me and i'm not afraid to face the truth now. Knowing that I'm not alone.
