20th March, South Bend Indiana
KYLA HAD SPENT THE LAST week waiting. Waiting for the upcoming tournament which could be a defining moment in her collegiate career.
With Kylee out due to her ACL injury, a starting spot was now open. Although Nat had taken it for the last few games, both girls knew it could go to either one of them and they both deserved it.
Kyla had surrounded herself with Maura and her teammates, physically preparing herself with the long, grueling hours she had put in at the gym, and mentally preparing herself as well.
It was called "March Madness" for a reason—anything could happen. Kyla needed to be ready.
Notre Dame faced off against Kent State for the first round of the NCAA tournament, hosting them at home in Indiana in three days.
Now, Kyla walked aimlessly around campus after her Research Methods class, which had been a bore. She stopped by a campus coffee shop grabbing her signature, Vanilla Almond Latte.
As she sat in the back, opening up her laptop to start on her assignments, which had begun to pile up over the weeks, she received a FaceTime call.
"KK? What's up?" Kyla grinned as she pulled out her AirPods to cancel out the busy chatter surrounding the café.
"Kyla! Kovy! Girl... you haven't texted me in like a whole week!" Kyla just giggled as KK dramatically enunciated. "Actually... you know you haven't texted me since you and Paige became buddies? What's that about, huh?"
Kyla just grinned at the camera, noticing KK's glare. "Don't worry, Arnie! You're still my favorite UConn girl..."
"Girl boo, clearly I'm not." KK raised an eyebrow at Kyla. "I see you two texting."
"Bro, Paige and I do not text." Kyla laughed at the ridiculous conclusions KK was making. "I've just been locking in... trying to get that starting spot, you know?"
KK still remained discontented, "I got no idea why you don't already have a starting spot. You know... Geno really likes your game. Maybe UConn could be better game time for you?"
"Shut up, Arnie! You just tryna convince me to transfer 'cause I'm your only friend!" Kyla grinned at the UConn freshman through the phone.
"Nah, get outta' here."
"You know I'm right!" Kyla laughed.
KK just grabbed the camera as she walked into a new room. "P... Ice... tell this clown that I do have other friends!"
Paige and Ice were forced into view as KK panned the camera toward her two teammates.
"Hey, Kyla." Ice smiled and waved.
At the same time, Paige gave a nod of acknowledgment. "What's good, Kyla?"
"Hey, Ice. Hey, Paige." The Notre Dame girl smiled as KK just groaned at her teammates' inability to acknowledge her requests.

20th March, Storrs Connecticut
PAIGE HAD SPENT THE LAST week working her ass of to prepare for the NCAA tournament. She hadn't made time for many people, much less the girl who she, Ice, and KK sat on FaceTime with right now.
It was clear to everybody, except Paige and Kyla of course, that the two girls has taken quite the liking to one another. The Notre Dame and UConn girl's were undoubtedly similar, their character and determination unmatched to those around them.
"KK, I gotta' go!" Kyla grinned after sitting on FaceTime with the freshman for the last two hours while studying in what appeared to be a small café.
"Bye, Kyla... don't let it be another week before I hear from you, Girly Pop!" KK warned as Ice just rolled her eyes at her teammates dramatics.
"I'll text you after practise! Bye Ice... bye Paige!" The brunette gave a small smile.
"Later, Ky!" Ice smiled.
"Have a good practise, Kyla." Paige added before reverting her eyes back to her phone.
At that, KK ended the call before turning to Paige, unable to hold back her laugh. "'Have a good practice, Kyla!'" the younger girl mocked, sending both her and Ice into a fit of giggles.
Paige just glared in response. "Bro... am I not allowed to say bye?"
"Nah, you two are so down bad for each other," Ice added, giving a small shake of her head.
"Fuck off, both of you," Paige muttered, a faint redness creeping up her cheeks.
KK leaned in closer, grinning mischievously. "Seriously, P, when are you gonna' admit you want her? It's painfully obvious."
Paige rolled her eyes, trying to focus on her phone. "There's nothing to admit. We're just friends, barely at that. Besides... wasn't me calling her hot while drunk enough?"
Ice snorted. "Yeah, that was fucking hilarious, P. But seriously, you can't keep pretending there's nothing there. You two got chemistry."
Paige sighed, putting her phone down. "Look, it ain't that simple. We're on different teams, and I don't even know nothing about her."
KK and Ice exchanged a knowing look before KK spoke up. "You and Kyla are both so stubborn."
"Bro... now's not the time to worry about this stupid shit anyway. We have a tournament to focus on."
KK rolled her eyes. "Always so focused. Fine, but don't think we're letting this go."
