Darling Muhl,

Switched up~ chapter one

Darla was internally panicking as Azzis voice faded into the backround,

" D, let's go " Azzi said furrowing her eyebrows at the girl who sat in the passenger seat of her car, who sunk deeper into the warm heat seater as soon as the words left Azzis lips.

Darla began moving, but she didn't.

she sat there staring out the window at her new college, UCONN, she was now attending.

her eyes drifted too the snow littering the ground, and back too the huge dormitory.

it was her senior year as a point guard in Iowa, until it wasn't.

Darla has always wanted to go to Uconn since she's grown here, to meet the infamous, famous Geno Auriemma, and to play with her best friend Azzi Fudd, who she's know almost all her life and quite literally could not live without.

until she actually transferred, she stared at the dormitory building from a slouched position inside Azzis car, seeing the students walk by every once in a while as she breathed shallowly.

Darla then snapped back as she heard shuffling next to her,

" come on, " azzi said slowly looking at the Colombian girl who sat in the passenger seat.

" it'll be fun, all the girls are the sweetest, and you've already met Paige "

darla smiled softly at the thought of Paige, Azzi's not so obvious, obvious crush.

" i'm scared" Darla let out through a long sigh,
" I mean, what if they don't like me "

" your the Darla Makinson of Iowa, of course they're gonna like you. everyone already knows who you are" Azzi said shoving the girl playfully, Darla didn't answer just stared out the window.

" your one of the prettiest girls i know and you literally turn heads when you walk by." Azzi said in a ' matter of fact ' tone as she looked at Darla intently.

darla rolled her eyes as she opened the car door, immediately grimacing as the cold bit at her cheeks and nose as she stood outside of the car.

Darla walked close by Azzi as they headed inside.

the warm, huskies gym immediately soothing her cold ears and face.

Azzi stood close by as they pushed the doors open too the huge practice facility.

Darla glanced at the the coaches, focusing on Geno, all standing in a circle talking to eachother.

Darla out of habit, put her head down, following Azzi wherever she was going to go.

Heads turned as soon as she walked in, small mutterings between players could be heard as Darla didn't dare too look at them.

" hey, darla makinson? " a husky voice said,

Dar immediately snapped her head up, seeing the old white haired man walk towards her with a smile on his face. she subconsciously smiled back.

Azzi walked behind to a couple of the other girls, leaving Dar with Geno himself.

she subconsciously tugged at her backpacks strings as she anxiously let her eyes wander,

Darla internally cursed azzi for this as the coach approached her.
Geno stopped in front of her, his smile widening.
he looked her up and down before holding his hand out, " Darla, right? "

Darla looked at Coach, always wondering what it would be like to meet him.

" yes, darla " she repeated, feeling her heart rate slowly speeding up. the silence was defeaning.
