Her Sunshine

Three

Rosalie Williams

They do the drills effortlessly. But still, Geno has comments and criticizes them on their form. I mean, I don't quite know much or anything about basketball so to me it looks perfect. Maybe don't ask me questions about basketball..

If I even ran up and down the court once I'd be doubled over struggling to breathe. I'm not built for this really.

Sometimes my eyes sneak away to take a look at Paige, to watch her execute everything perfectly. She's swift with everything she does, her muscles flexing with every movement.

As I look over to watch her shoot the ball through the net she turns around and her eyes meet mine, smirking, she winks before being called over by Geno.

My cheeks burn red as I lower my head to the binder in my hands. "Okay dude. There have been hearts in your eyes all practice. And it seems they grow bigger when Paige is around" Taylor's voice drags on from beside me as she plops herself down in a seat.

"What- no! What are you even talking about. I'm just making sure everyone's doing okay" I mumble.

"Uhuh.. and I'm Justin Bieber. I'd say I think you have a little bit of a crush on miss Paigey" she wiggles her eyebrows leaning closer to me.

"That's not true, I just think she's, well- I mean she's.."

"You think she's hot, don't you. I mean I totally get you, aw you guys would be the absolute cutest-"

"Who would be the cutest?" Paige interrupts standing in front of me.

Hair sticks to her forehead and her cheeks have a tint of pink from the warmth of the gym.

"Oh uh- no one, she's just a little tired" I rush out.

"Uhuh.. well some of the teams gonna go to a party tomorrow night and we just wanted to see if you guys would like to join us?" Paige asks rubbing the back of her neck with her hand.

"Oh I don't know, I've ever been to one and I don't think they're really gonna be my thing-"

"Of course we would love to go! Right Rosie?" She says interrupting me. Her eyes stare into mine as if saying 'you better say yes'. She's kinda scary..

"Um, y-yeah okay, sounds fun" I smile.

"Great, here let me give you my number and I'll send you the details?" She asks and I hand her my phone.

As she hands me my phone back I look down at the contact. She named herself Paige with a heart emoji. Smiling I put away my phone looking back to Paige.

"Text me later yeah?" She smiles.

I nod, giving a shy smile and wave as she walks off with Nika.

Turning to Taylor she has a wide grin on her face. "See? That wasn't so hard. I'm so excited this party's gonna be so fun"

"I don't know Taylor.. I've never been to one I don't even know what to wear" I trail.

"Well that's what I'm here for, duh. I'm gonna make you look so hot" she emphasizes.

"Sure.. well let's go we can pick something up for dinner, I'll pay of course"

Paige Bueckers

Her smile is absolutely amazing. Her whole face just lights up. I wish she'd always smile just so I could see it.

"Paige! I've been talking to you for like five minutes are you even listening to me?" Nika says, rolling her eyes.

"Sorry, just a lot on my mind" I mumble.

We had gone to McDonald's for dinner and are sat in the back corner as Nika talks about.. honestly I don't even know.

"You mean a lot of Rosalie on your mind?" She raised her brow.

"What no.. shut up"

"Dude you were basically drooling over her today. You looked like you were gonna pass out if it wasn't your turn to see her soon" she says with a 'are you kidding me' look on her face.

"You're exaggerating" I say shoving a fry in my mouth.

She stares at me. "Okay okay, whatever. She's pretty and nice, so what?"

"You stared at her as if she was your favourite candy. What did you even say to her after practice anyways" she asks.

"I uh invited her and Taylor to the party tomorrow" I say looking down to my food.

"Seriously? I totally thought you wouldn't have the balls to even ask for her number" she laughs. "Oh I did that too. Well I put my number in her phone".

She slowly claps with a shit eating grin on her face. "Oh shut up" I laugh chucking a fry towards her.

My phone dings and we both look to it.
