"I can't do this." Cameron bursts into my room, panic written all over her face.

"What do you mean?"

"I meet with the coach in an hour and then I meet with the rest of the team. I can't do this. I'm going to mess up, say the wrong thing, embarrass myself in front of everyone."

She paces around my room

"That's stupid, none of that will happen. You are going to do great and everyone will love you."

She falls onto my bed.

"I can't do thisssss. Not by myself." Her voice is muffled due to the fact her face is buried in my blanket.

"Do you want me to come with you?"

She lifts her head up

"I meannn you don't have to. If you have other things to do then I will be fine."

"Oh shut up."

✰✰✰

I'm in the drivers seat and next to me I can tell cam is still nervous. The closer we get to the arena, the more her leg shakes. Something we both do when we are on edge.

"Hey." I put my hand on her leg.

"You are going to be fine, plus I will be next to you the whole time, okay?"

she nods her head.

I find and empty parking spot and get out of the car first. Cameron quickly follows behind.

"How do I look?" she says trying to fix her hair.

"You look great, now come on."

I enter through the doors first dragging Cameron behind me. For someone who really wanted this she sure is dreading it.

"You must be the new PT assistant."

A man with white hair and glasses walks over to me.

"Oh no." I shake my head.

"I am." Cameron comes from behind me stepping in front to shake the man's hand.

"I'm Cameron Bennett, but most people just call me cam. Oh and this is Evelina, here for support"

"Geno Auriemma. Women's basketball couch. It's very nice to meet you two. Now If you don't mind Cam I was wondering if I could talk to you about a few things, before all the girls get here."

She nods and they start to walk away, I follow behind getting distracted by the gym. I have only been in here twice for men's basketball games never stepping foot on the court.

After about 10 minutes of Cameron talking to the athletic trainers and the coach, people -who I'm assuming are the basketball team- start to enter the gym. I quickly rush over to Cameron standing behind her.

All of the girls started pouring into the gym slowly, and when it looked like the whole team was here coach Auriemma called them over.

"Hey you three! It would be so kind if you could join us."

He calls out to 3 girls who are standing in the middle of the court. One is tall and blonde, the other one is also tall but has curly hair, who am I kidding everyone here is tall. The last girl has dark brown hair and is very pretty. They rush over quieting their laughter.

"Before we start today I thought it would be good you met your PT assistant. She is the one that makes all the calls when it comes mental and physical health. So if she tells you that you shouldn't play you listen her. Understood?"

The team all gives a variety of yeses and head nods.

Everyone's attention is averted over to Cameron now.

"Uh hi I'm Cameron, but most people call me Cam. Oh- this is Evelina, my friend and I think you can expect to see more of her."

Surprised by my mention I lift up my head giving the team a small wave. As I scan over the faces of all the girls I catch the eyes of one in particular.

Her blue eyes are deep and I can't tell if I'm intrigued or frightened by her. Her blonde hair is put up into a ponytail with 2 small braids on the side feeding into it.

There is something familiar about her but I can't tell what, so I move my gaze away focusing on Cameron, who is talking about what she will do for the team this season.

After Cameron says her goodbye we start to walk out of the gym and as I look back for her I catch the eyes of the blonde. Again.
