To Know You ║ Kate Martin

Dawg Class

Kai | A week after their loss

I just returned from my daily run, walking into the dorm to see Aubrey, Azzi, and Nika. They all greet me but then turn to pay attention to the friend's episode playing.

"Hey, who's going to KP's dawg class?" I asked, and Nika shrugged her shoulders. "I think it's me, you, Nika, and KK," Azzi answers.

"Thank you, Azzi," I say sarcastically, earning a middle finger from Nika. Aubrey tried holding in her laugh, but she failed because she sat next to Nika. "What's so funny?" Nika said, making Aubrey scoot closer to Azzi.

I shake my head and walk into my room, where I figured I would see KK and Paige playing Fortnite.

"Bro, go play Fortnite in your room," I said. I knew nothing about Fortnite, but since my brothers got me a Playstation, Paige and KK have been begging for me to download it on mine since Paige's Playstation was old

"Shh," KK waved at me, making me scoff. I turn around to face my closet. I needed to pack my stuff for KP's dawg class.

"KK, we're leaving tomorrow, you know that, right?" I said, earning an mhmm.

I sighed and grabbed my red suitcase from the top shelf in my closet. I placed it on my bed and opened it.

I pulled out my phone from my pocket to see if anyone important had texted me while I was on my run.

[Dad; hey sweetie, have fun at that basketball camp, be safe! I love you❤️]

I replied to him with a smile on my face. The only man I will ever trust and love is my dad and brothers. I will not waste my time on other men.

[Kelsey Plum; sent an image]

I opened it, and it was just the schedule for the camp.

[Kahlea Copper; Hey, don't be shy at the draft, I'll be there with DT. Come say hi, and we can grab a drink at the after-party]

I was shocked when I read the message, so I tried to be cool and replied with, "Cool, I'll keep an eye out at the after-party then."

[Kate $ Martin; I'll be at KP'S dawg class, you'll be there too, right? I can't wait to see you again❣️]

I felt weirded out, mostly after the final four. I mean, of course, it's just a game, but I still kept thinking about what Aubrey said. And maybe she was right, I can't handle liking someone who I have to play against.

"Yes, I'll be there. Hopefully, this time, we won't get put against each other. But I can't wait to see you too. Have a safe trip over to Vegas ❤️"

I put my phone on my bed and turned around to pick some clothes out. I decided to stay with the basics because I'm gonna be working out every day.

I chose 3 graphic tees, 5 workout/compression shirts, 3 shorts, 2 pairs of basketball shoes, and some sweats.

When KK and Paige get done playing, they start going through my stash of snacks in my desk drawer.

"Hey, don't eat all of my stuff," I said, walking over to see what they chose. "Hey! I'm saving those," I say, snatching a KitKat bar out of Paige's hands.

"Whatever. You should bring your hair stuff before you forget about it again," I thank her for reminding me about a mistake I made last year when I went to KP's Dawg Class. I had forgotten all of my hair stuff besides a hairbrush and one hair tie on my wrist.

I walked over to my vanity and opened my hair drawer to pack my hair gel, mouse, bristle brush, mini elastic bands, and more hair ties.

I pack all of my clothes and jump into bed. The three of us invited Jana so we could play Overcooked together.
