PRACTICE DRAGGED ON FOR THE PLAYERS. They had ended at 12:30 PM and Kai wasn't even close to being done. But they decided to stay around and chill in her office while she works.

The girls order food being hungry, offering some bites to Kai who gladly takes a bite of each persons food. "How much longer?" Inês groans out, tired of being in the office.

Kai laughs, "no one is keeping you guys here." She says matter of factly. Paige laughs as the other girls mock her earning a playful glare from Kai. Some of the girls left saying they would come over to Kai's later. Paige, Azzi, and Caroline stayed behind chilling on the couch. Kai works for the next hour trying to wrap up the pictures from the games.

It was now 3:45 PM and they were all leaving the gym. Kai and the others head into her dorm room, everyone else already there. "I regret giving you guys keys to my dorm room." Kai speaks and sets her bag down on the floor next to the desk. Kai goes onto her bed, kicking KK over. "Girl boo."

Paige laughs and climbs on top of KK, smothering her. KK groans and pushes Paige onto Kai who gives an oomph sound. Kai laughs, it coming out hoarsely with the weight on top of her.

Paige shifts her body to lay on the side of Kai instead of on top of her before the team gets bored. "Let's play truth or dare and/or drink!" Nika says and they agree.

"Truth or dare?" Nika starts off asking Azzi. Azzi thinks about it before answering with truth. The game goes around with some of them choosing dare but mostly truth.

"Kai, truth or dare?" KK asks with a smirk, "dare." She answers. KK gives a cruel smirk to Paige before giving the dare.

"I dare you to kiss Caroline." The room goes silent. Kai nods and slides off her bed, having to pass Paige who wanted to stop her from kissing her teammate. Kai smiles at Caroline, "you don't have to do this if you don't want to." She says in her ear. Caroline reassured her that it was fine.

Kai grabs Caroline's chin and leans in connecting their lips. Caroline is frozen in place not having kissed a girl before. Kai didn't take offense to it and pushs her tongue in between her lips and Caroline starts kissing back.

Kai stops kissing her leaving Caroline blushing and swollen lips, "well I don't know if Car is straight anymore." Aubrey jokes as Kai goes back to her bed, Paige putting some distance between them. She was jealous over someone kissing Kai. Kai wasn't even hers.

"Hey, you okay?" Kai asks Paige who was being quiet the whole night. Paige nods. She wasn't actually okay but wasn't going to tell them that. "Was Caroline a good kisser?" Paige questions, whispering it just for Kai to hear. Kai smiles and leans into Paige's ear, "not really. She was frozen in place for most of it." Kai admits making them laugh silently.

"I don't think she's ever kissed a girl before." Paige whispers backs in her ear, tickling Kai. "I can tell. It was like kissing my bedroom wall from when I was a teenager." Kai admits and Paige bursts out laughing at the confession. The girls look at the two in confusion but brush it off.

"I'm tired." Kai says softly to Paige, too nice to kick the players out of her room. Paige nods, "guys, we have a meeting early morning tomorrow." Paige announces, it not being true but the girls buying it and going back to their dorms leaving Paige and Kai.

"Thanks. I swear I'm too nice sometimes. I try and make everyone happy." She says twirling the bottoms of her hair in her fingers. "It's okay, I get how that is." Paige comforts her.

Kai smiles and leans her head on Paige's shoulder. "Can we play basketball again?" Kai wonders and Paige smiles and nods, grabbing her hand and leading them to the gym.
