'but we both know that deep down
the feeling still deep down is good'
- ivy IIIt was finally the long awaited game day.
You weren't usually a morning person, but you woke up just fine today. You would've had another restless night if it weren't for the three melatonin gummies you popped last night.
To say you were excited was an understatement.
It was an opportunity to show everyone how much you'd improved at Uconn, to show them why you transferred in the first place. You were showing that you weren't one to live in someone's shadow.
It was also Paige's first game since her injury, so the game was sold out.
Speaking of Paige, the tension between you was only continuing to grow everyday. Since she left you in that kitchen on halloweekend with her promising words, things significantly shifted.
Her gaze seemed to almost always be locked in on you, and she was so secretive about it. Her hands lingering on your waist when she had to guard you during practice drills could have killed you.
Paige was determined to not get caught doing such things either. Only some of the girls on the team were aware of your past, that being only Azzi, Nika, and now somewhat Kk.
Even though she was drunk, Kk remembered exactly what she walked in on. She promised not to say anything to anyone else, but that didn't mean she couldn't say something to Paige about it.

When Kk woke up feeling like absolute shit on your couch, surprisingly you and Paige were the last thing on her mind. She honestly could've forgot about it, at least until she stumbled into the kitchen and it all hit her.
For a moment she wasn't sure if it was all a weird dream or hallucination, but she's sure it wasn't when she sees the familiar glass she used sitting on the counter last night.
When she does remember, she's taking off down the hall to Paige's room. She doesn't even bother knocking on the door, swinging the door open and shutting it behind her.
Thankfully, Paige was already awake, laying on her side and scrolling through her phone. She's confused and just as she goes to question Kk she quickly cuts her off.
"What the fuck did I witness last night?" Kk exclaims, pacing around the room for a short few seconds before flopping face first onto the end of Paige's bed.
"Nothing." Paige shrugs, turning back to her phone and continuing her scrolling.
"P, don't play with me right now!" Kk grows louder, sitting up and throwing herself onto Paige's body.
