"Anyways guys.." I trailed off rolling my eyes. Paige was going to be helping me prank my girlfriend Aubrey today after practice, but she keeps on asking me to stop somewhere for food. "You don't need to be eating a big meal before practice, you're going to throw up in my car Madison!" I shout, getting fed up with the constant whining. "Fine! See if I help with you ANYthing!" She shouted back, crossing her arms and huffing.

I shake my head at the big baby that is Paige Bueckers, turning the camera to face her. "You gon' sit there and pout or are you gonna tell them what we're doing today?" I say. She rolls her eyes and sighs loudly before snatching the camera out of my hand. "Okay guys, today me and Precious are going to be fake flirting in front of Aubrey after practice when the team goes over to her & Precious' apartment. Ice and Azzi know that we're doing this prank and are planning to help us out with it by instigating and stuff I think" she said, muttering the last part.

"Phase one of our plan, is Precious dropping me off at practice, walking me in, and then giving me a hug goodbye. I know you guys are thinking 'what's wrong with that?', well me and Ms. precious over here literally can not STAND each other, so it'll be weird seeing us acting close" Paige said before angling the camera toward my face so it can see me.

"I told Aubrey I had a nail appointment and that's why I couldn't take her to practice today, so she caught a ride with KK and them" I said taking a quick glance at the camera before focusing on parking the car. "Okay guys we're here! And we knew it was gonna look weird if we brought the camera in with us, so we told Azzi to film a fake 'day in the life'" Paige says smiling brightly. "Girl please, it was all my idea" I said laughing loudly. She muttered something under her breath before turning the camera off and shooting a quick text to Azzi letting her know we're about to start the prank.

I get out and wait for Paige to get her bag out of the trunk. We soon approach the doors before I stop Paige. "Wait we should be talking about something before we go in, so it doesn't look random" I say. Paige agrees and we begin talking about me and Aubrey's relationship. The topic automatically makes me start cheesing, with Paige fake gagging every now and then. I make sure to laugh loud enough that Aubrey can hear me, but the whole team wound up hearing the commotion. Everyone looked over, with me and Paige noticing Azzi start recording us from afar, getting Aubrey's face in the shot.

"Paige shut the hell up girl oh my goshhh" I dragged, adding a giggle toward the end. Paige looks at Aubrey for a split second before she leans in closer to me and whispers "your girlfriend actually wants to kill me, y'all must be getting down real good for her to be acting like that."

I let out a genuinely shocked laugh at the words, slapping Paige's chest as I do so. She laughs back before loudly saying "Welp, I guess I should get going now, we're already late". I nod and reach up to give her a hug with both of my arms wrapping around her neck. She quickly drops her bag to the floor and reaches to wrap both of her own arms around my waist. "Ouuu she's gonna get me bro" Paige whined into my ear, making me genuinely laugh again. "Bye girl" I say laughing and shaking my head. We quickly split ways, me going over to my office and her going over to Geno.

Just as I close my door, it's suddenly slammed back open. "What was that" Aubrey asked with a laugh. I look at her innocently asking her what she meant. she calmly closed the door before approaching me. I spot a camera kind of hidden behind one of the plants on my bookshelf, making me turn my body so Aubrey follows enough for her face to be in view.

"What do you mean baby? I was just telling her to have a good practice" I say softly with a pout in my face. Aubrey instantly folds, leaning in to give me slow kiss. "I trust you baby, I just didn't realize you and Paige were that close you know?" She mumbled to me. I start cheesing immediately at the soft tone she used with me, making me stuff my head into her chest.

"I promise you it's nothing baby, we just figured it would make sense for us to get along better since we'll be around each other so much" I say to her. She nods with a beautiful smile on her face, grabbing my neck and bringing me into a sloppier kiss.

I kiss back immediately, letting my bare nails scratch the back of her neck. She pulls away quickly with a mug on her face, snatching my hand to look at my nails. "Precious what the fuck? You said you were going to a nail appointment?" Aubrey said.

My eyes widen slightly before I stammer out the practiced response "oh w-well you know sometimes I be getting my nails taken off! The appointment was rescheduled for in a little bit because the shop was packed today! As a matter of fact, I need to check the emails real quick so I can leave out."

Aubrey lets go of me, standing back to watch me hurriedly check emails. I genuinely did have an appointment today, I just told Aubrey the wrong time for the sake of the video. Once I'm done, I quickly pack my stuff up and grab Aubrey's wrist to drag her out of my office to lock it.

"Okay Aubs, I have to go. But I promise I'll be back soon okay?" I said looking up at her. She starts cheesing immediately from the eye contact, before she reaches her arms out for a hug. I accept her hug, feeling her hands travel from my back to my ass. She grips whatever she can in her hands, jiggling it a few times.

"Aubreyyy, girl moveee" I say with a laugh. She laughs too but eventually lets go, leading us back to the gym. I hurriedly rush out, waving goodbyes to the girls on the bench, before I rush off to my nail appointment.

I finish around 3 hours later, realizing the girls are probably already back at me and Aubrey's place. I stop to get some pizza and wings from Dominoes, picking up a 6 count crumbl cookie box for KK as I do so.

I pull up to the apartment complex, seeing the girls' cars in the parking lot as I park myself. I quickly rush to get upstairs after letting paige know to set up my three cameras, one in the bedroom, one in the kitchen, and one in the living room. I grab the pizza boxes and the crumbl box,

As I step out of the elevator, I decide it's best to bang on the door with my knee because my hands are full. As soon as I walk in, the girls instantly rush over to take the food out of my hands, with me being stingy and keeping the crumbl box with me until KK got close enough to grab it. Paige walks over to me, wrapping her arm around my shoulder to drag me to the couch between her and Azzi. Aubrey sits right across from us, simply sitting back and watching.

The stare makes me a little nervous, but I continue the act. Paige and I go to grab a piece of pizza, her arm still around my shoulders as we do so. Aubrey clears her throat loudly before asking Azzi to accompany her to the kitchen, instantaneously making my face scrunch up. Paige noticing my uncomfortable figure starts to tickle me, making me burst into laughter, trying to squirm away from her fingers digging into my sides.

A little while later, Aubrey comes back fixing her hair and shirt with lip gloss on her lips that wasn't there before. My heart drops to my ass and I shoot up from my seat, leaving everyone else to quiet down. Azzi soon comes out the kitchen with her hair a little disheveled and her lips having little to no lip gloss left on them.

Paige shoots up as well, the four of us just looking at each other, before I simply walk over to the camera to turn it off. Aubrey watches my every move, looking shocked when she sees me take the camera out of the hiding spot. "So you going around kissing bitches now?" I said to Aubrey in the deadly silent room.

She starts to laugh a little bit, making my eyes instantly tear up. Her noticing my tears made the smile drop from her face immediately. "Wait Precious it's not-" I cut her off by dragging Paige with me to the bedroom. I shove her in first before following after, shutting and locking the door behind me.

I drop to my knees quickly, starting to quietly sob. Paige comes over and sits next to me, sniffling as she wraps me in a friendly side hug. "Why a-are you crying?" I ask Paige through loud sniffles. "I thought me and Azzi had something going on.. I made sure to let her in on the prank so she wouldn't be upset." she said.

Guilt starts gnawing at my chest, making me start to sob louder. "Oh Paige, Paige I'm so sorry" I said loudly in between sobs.

We sit there, holding on to each other as we cry, not knowing it was the end of our relationships, but beginning of our own friendship.
