Kate pov
I watch as Caitlin absolutely mutilates the black team. well, it's more than just Caitlin. but she's all I can stare at.
her sweaty ponytail. the muscles on her legs flexing every time she takes a step. the way she smiles after making a three. I just want to go out there and yank on her ponytail so she's down on her knees and she can-
the buzzer sounds, indicating that it's our turn to play. im confident that we'll win.
I start the game off with a logo three and syd yells out of excitement.
I felt kind of bad for kicking the shit out of Molly, but she was happy. she thinks that Caitlin and I going against each other will be good.
syd wins the jump and I dribble up the court. I have Caitlin guarding me but I focus on everyone except her. I pass it to syd and she makes a corner three.
Caitlin brings the ball up and shoots a long three, but I block it and make a layup on a fast break.
I can see the frustration on her face.
when she passes half court with the ball, she gives it to kennise who shoots a three and makes it.
"YES!" Caitlin high fives her.
I dribble down and pass the ball to Kylie who passes it back to me for a three. it bounces off the front of the rim and Caitlin goes back over and shoots a long three. the ball swishes in.
the game goes back and forth the first three quarters.
I've managed to keep my cool throughout this whole game. no matter how upset with Caitlin I've gotten.
the fourth quarter starts with a score of 53-49, us.
Caitlin starts with the ball and she passes it to Sharon who pivots around syd for an easy two.
I pass the ball to Kylie and she shoots a three and it swishes in. Kylie's threes haven't been falling today so kennise wasn't guarding her too close.
Caitlin shoots a step back and misses by a mile. she flops onto the ground.
I hardly even touched her! It was in NO way a foul.
Bluder blows her whistle to stop the play.
"foul!" Caitlin yells.
"what?!" I shout. "no it wasn't!"
"how the fuck else would I be on the ground right now?" she asks.
"you have a great habit of flopping like an idiot," I answer.
"bitch!" she yells. she stands up. "you fouled me. admit it, unlike other things."
"you already know that wasn't true!" I argue.
I got her there. she stares at me.
im shocked Bluder hasn't gotten in the middle of it yet.
"Bluder?" Caitlin turns. "that was a foul correct?"
"it's up to Hannah," she shrugs. "she's the official for this game."
Hannah stares at us wide eyed, as if she doesn't want either of us to be upset.
I shove Caitlin out of the way to go talk to Hannah.
"it wasn't a foul!" I shout.
"yes it was!" she says, shoving me.
I turn towards her this time and yell, "are you fucking blind?"
"clearly I was when I decided to date you!" she comes back.
my God Caitlin.
I just stare at her.
before I can stop myself, I shoved her.
she shoves me back.
I pull on her ponytail. not in the way I wanted to earlier.
her fist connects with my cheek before I punch her in the jaw.
"GIRLS!" Jan yells.
it's difficult for them to separate us.
Caitlin spits blood out of her mouth.
A/N- we've got 1-2 more chapters coming tonight.
