Eloise woke up in her new room, from the sound of her alarm clock. She got up and got changed into her clothes for practice.

After she got dressed she walked out of her room to be met with quill laying on the couch watching tv

"Morning you excited for your first practice?" Quill asked.

"Kinda. I'm just scared because of you know."She looked down at the floor remembering that the girl she once loved was on the same team meaning they would have to see each other after all this time.

"Hey it's gonna be okay.. except for the fact she doesn't know it's you who is the new teammate." Eloise groaned at that last sentence.

Let's just go already" she picked up her water bottle and headed out with quill trailing behind her.











Eloise's sneakers squeaked against the polished wooden floor of the gym as she walked in, the smell of sweat and old leather hitting her immediately. The basketball team had been her lifeline through high school and middle school, and after transferring from Iowa, she hoped it would serve the same purpose here. She needed something to ground her, something to distract her from the chaos of a new environment.

As she approached the group of girls huddled near the center of the court, she could hear the chatter and the laughter that accompanied the team. She was a stranger in this environment, but not for long, she hoped. The coach, Geno with a commanding presence, looked up and waved her over.

"Eloise right?" Coach Geno greeted her with a firm handshake. "Glad you could join us. We can always use more talent."

Eloise smiled, trying to quell her nervousness. "Thanks coach. I'm excited to be here."

As she exchanged greetings with her new teammates, Eloise's eyes scanned the gym, taking in her surroundings. her gaze fell on a figure at the far end of the court, shooting hoops with effortless grace. The girl's movements were fluid, her confidence palpable. Eloise's stomach dropped when the girl turned around, revealing a face. She knew out well.

Ines had been her first serious relationship her first love and ultimately her most bitter break up. They had met in high school both passionate about basketball both fiercely competitive. Their relationship had been whirlwind of intensity, a roller coaster of highs and lows that had been ended in spectacularly acrimonious fallout. The site of Ines brought all those memories flooding back, and some of them weren't pleasant.

Inez's eyes met hers, and Eloise saw flicker of recognition, followed by a cold, hard glare. It was clear that time had done nothing to soften the animosity between them.

The eye contact stopped when a blonde haired girl walked up to Eloise with a brown haired following behind.

"Hi, I'm Paige and this is Nika!" Paige said, greeting her along with Nika doing the same thing Eloise took both of their hands with a smile, trying to ignore the glare from the girl across the court.

After page and everyone started to introduce themselves except for quill because they had already knew eacother.

After everyone, that's when the girl she never thought she would see against it in front of her .
