CONNECTICUT | PRACTICE GYM The sound of basketballs bouncing off the hardwood floor echoed through the practice gym. KK, Ice, and Aubrey were in their usual spots, putting up shots and chatting about the last game. Paige, focused on her free throws, listened in on the conversation, occasionally chiming in.
"I can't believe school is almost over," Aubrey said, swishing a three-pointer. "It's crazy how fast this year went by."
"I know, right? But I'm also so nervous about March Madness," KK replied, grabbing a rebound and passing it back to Aubrey. "We've worked so hard, and if we don't get the natty for Paige's final year, I might crash out."
Aubrey nodded. "I've been here for 6 years without a championship. That's crazy work."
Ice shared a look with KK and started to laugh. "6 years on this team is crazy work in itself."
Y'all are deadass wrong for that," Paige interjected, her shot hitting nothing but net. "At least we don't have to worry about Caitlin anymore."
As the conversation continued, KK let something slip. "Speaking of March Madness, Jocelyn mentioned she might come to some of our games. That should be interesting, right Paige?"
Paige's heart skipped a beat. She shot KK a look, but her friend just smirked. Aubrey raised an eyebrow, sensing something was up.
"What's the deal with Jocelyn?" Aubrey asked, curiosity piqued. "I feel like she keeps getting mentioned."
Paige hesitated, dribbling the ball a few times before sighing. "Okay, fine. I made a bet with KK that I could make Jocelyn fall in love with me." She said shrugging then making a three.
The gym went silent for a moment, the only sound being the bounce of the ball. Aubrey's eyes widened, and KK tried to suppress a laugh. KK was on aux. She then realized she had the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.
"Hey Siri, play a Jocelyn West mix." She said into her phone barely able to speak without falling out laughing. Jocelyn's song "Obsessed" began to play. Causing all the girls to burst out in laughter that filled the entire gym.
"Paige, that's kind of messed up," Aubrey said, a hint of amusement in her voice. "But also, classic you."
"I know, I know," Paige admitted, shaking her head. "It just started as a joke, but now... I don't know."
"How the hell did you two even meet before her concert here?" Ice questioned, throwing the ball to Paige.
Paige caught the ball and sighed. "Remember when I went to New York for fashion week? Yeah well, I met her there at a party and we kind of just hit it off. Boom next thing I know, we're in my hotel room." She said all in one breath.
