Avery's POV:
as i'm woken up by the annoying sound of my alarm, i groan as i reach over to turn it off. it's 7:30am on a saturday. i usually sleep in on weekends but i wanted to wake up early today to go for a run.
i slowly but surely rise out of bed, and head to my bathroom to get ready. once my teeth is brushed and my face is washed, i put my hair in a messy ponytail. i make my way to my closet and grab some black running shorts and a black aligned tank top and i'm ready to head out the door.
as i shut my apartment door, i turn around to lock it and head downstairs. as soon as i make it out of the double entry doors, i start my run and head to the park which is about a mile away.
as i'm running, i'm taking in the beautiful day that's just begun as i breathe in the fresh crisp morning air. the sun is rising beautifully, the birds are chirping, squirrels running around. early birds starting their day with some coffee.
i make my way through the park entry and head onto the trail. there are a couple of people walking the trail and i do see another runner. i always forget how therapeutic and peaceful it is to run on a saturday morning.
i am now on my third loop of the trail. i usually conclude my run with three loops at the park and then the mile back to my apartment building.
i'm about to exit the park when my name is being only called. i come to a halt and take off my headphones to make sure i heard right. and there it is again.
"AVERY! OVER HERE!" someone shouts.
i turn around and see majority of the UCONN women's basketball team playing on the courts and a smiling kk making her way over to me. i decide to be nice and jog over to her to meet her half way.
"hey! do you always run this early?" kk asks as she arrives in front of me.
"eh sometimes. running in the morning is my favorite but sometimes i can't get up so i'll do an afternoon run. what about yall? do yall always get up this early on a saturday to play some basketball?" i ask.
"hardly ever unless coach makes us but we just decided to come play a friendly game outside of the gym for once." she tells me. i just give her a smile and nod my head. "you want to come meet the other girls? they'll adore you!" kk asks me excitedly.
"yeah sure! i know some of them from class but yeah i don't mind." i tell her.
"okay great, come on." and she leads the way back over to the basketball girls.

Paige's POV:
me and the team are out at the park playing a friendly game of basketball when someone catches all of our eyes. that someone being avery.
not to sound weird or anything but this is exactly why i chose to play at the park this morning because i've seen her run around the trails most mornings when i'm free throwing for some exercise. i never had the courage to speak, mostly because she gives me the impression she wouldn't put up with my bullshit. i don't get that from anyone else. so i find her a tad intimidating even though i've heard she has one of the kindest souls.
