Her Sunshine

Seven

Rosalie Williams

"This is why I never drink" I groan pushing the sunglasses that sit on my nose further up as I walk next to Taylor into the gymnasium.

"And I'm never drinking again" Taylor whines before she lays herself down on one of the many tables in my room.

"You know you can't lay there forever right?" I mention.

I nearly place my books on my desk before I turn on my computer. Reaching over I grab a red lollipop from the bowl sitting on a bench. Popping it in my mouth I twirl the chair around to face Taylor.

"I seriously want to go back to the dorm and never get up again"

"Well hello ladies" Geno smiles walking into the room. I straighten up, "Heyyyy.. what's up?" I say groaning from how loud I found my voice.

"Girls, please don't tell me you're hungover" he crossed his arms.

"No..?" Taylor says, almost asking herself.

"And how many of the girls out there are hungover?" He asks.

"Probably all of them" I say quietly.

He nods his head before leaving the room. Taylor and I look to each other before following after him. Geno claps his hands together, "okay! Since you girls all thought it would be an excellent idea to get drunk last night knowing you have practice, I want you to all run laps, right now" they all groan. "How many?" Paige dares to ask.

"Until I say to stop. Now run" Well someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

Paige's gaze meets mine, I give her a soft smile, an almost apologetic one before she follows the rest of the team and starts to jog around the court.

"I am so glad I don't play basketball" Taylor groans.

"I think I've just died" Aubrey huffs (author: Not the bitch cheerleader guys- maybe I should've thought out a better name)

"That's not true" I say.

After the team "died" during practice they all decided to join me in the workout room.

"Did you run around the gym 75 times?" Aubrey says raising a brow.

I can't stop the small giggle slip, "Can I get you guys anything to make you feel better? I've got some Gatorade if you'd like" I suggest.

They all immediately raise their hands eagerly and follow behind me to the fridge. I grab the last bottle from the shelf before turning around, i make my way over to find Paige laying on top of one of the tables with her eyes closed.

"Paige? Are you awake?" I whisper.

"Yeah" she groans. She tiredly opens her eyes before sitting up. "Are you okay?" I ask.

"Just tired and got a headache, I didn't sleep great last night" she yawns. "Here drink this, I'll get you some Tylenol" I hand her the bottle before I quickly grab some Tylenol from the cupboards.

"Alright take these and in six hours you can take another two at home okay?" I say turning and hopping up onto the table taking a seat next to her.

"Thanks sunshine"

My brows furrow, sunshine?

Oh-

Everything from last night comes flooding back into my head. The drinking, the nickname, the boy, Paige leaving my dorm after carrying me up the stairs and unzipping my dress.

My face reddens, "oh- um yeah no problem, just want you to feel better" I smile leaning my body to the right and gentle bumping my arm against hers.

"Here want a sip" she asks holding out the gatorade bottle. "Thanks"

"We should all do something, unless you guys are too tired" Taylor teases.

"Oh shut up, but she's right we should do something" Kk says.

"We could have a movie night?" I suggest.

"Where can we do it?" Taylor asks.

Slowly, everyone's gaze turns to Paige. "Yeah yeah sure" she rolls her eyes.

"Everyone good with 6:30? I can bring pizza" I smile. Everyone agrees before dispersing, everyone leaving in their own directing only leaving Taylor, Paige and I.

"Taylor I have a few things I need to finish so why don't you go back to the dorm without me? I'll get a way back" I say jumping off the table.

"Alright, see you guys later" she winks wiggling her eyebrows. Rolling my eyes I walk around the room picking up the discarded bottles and putting away equipment that had been taken out.

"I can take you home if you'd like" says a voice behind me. I quickly turn around, "Gosh it was so quiet in here I thought you had left"

Paige smiles, "sorry I just closed my eyes for a minute"

"No no it's okay, and you don't have to worry about it I can just walk" I smile walking into my office and grabbing the small tote bag leaning against my desk.

"No I want to, and uh I was gonna ask if you would just like to come to mine, like before all the others to just hangout?.. if you'd like" she says nervously.

"Oh, yeah I'd love to"

"Yeah? Okay cool. Here I can take this" she says before gently taking the bag from my hand and carrying it herself. "Thank you, you're too kind" I smile softly.

She follows me out of my office and onto the court and we both bid our goodbyes to Geno before heading out to Paige's car. She kindly open the car door for me and shutting after I'm seated.

We fall into a small conversation as the music plays softly over the radio. It's comfortable.
