"Alright everybody, great job today I'm so proud you all so ready for this season. UConn cheer on three say it loud say it proud. 1,2,3."

"UCONN CHEER!" We all said together marking the end of our 3 and a half hour practice. I was sweaty and gross. Dressed in a red pair of Lulu shorts and a navy blue sports bra with the word UConn written across it.

I made my way to the locker room to gather my things. But as I was leaving our practice area I heard loud voices coming from the practice gym next door.

I walked over to the door. Seeing Paige Azzi kk and nika just dribbling around. I opened the door catching Azzi's attention.

"Hey sexy lady." She said smiling we always hype each other up.

"How was practice?" She said as she was now standing next to me at one end of the court. "It was good but I'm so tired. But guess what I learned a new skill!" I said my voice excited.

"Oooo can we see it?" She said Azzi always loved to watch me cheer. "Yes come on I'm sure the mats are still rolled out." I said grabbing her hand. We exited the practice gym Paige kk and nika all following behind us.

Azzi and Paige stood together. Paige's hand resting on her waist. And nika and kk stood close together kk goofing off as usual and nika cold like a statue. They all stood at the end of the mat as I went to the far corner.

"Are you ready?" I said earning excited nods from kk Azzi and Paige.

I began counting in my head. Shrugging before I began running I started with a round of back handspring. Then connecting it with my double full.

Once I landed I let out a deep breath. Looking over to the girls who all just stood there in shock. Before Azzi and kk began to celebrate loudly.

"That was amazing. You have to teach me how to do that!" Kk said causing me to giggle. "I wish it was that easy kk." I said to her as they all started to head back to there practice gym.

Nika stayed behind though. Just staring at me.

"Can I help you?" I said as I walked over to my bag gathering my things.

"I wish you could." She said following behind me and securing a tight hand on my bare waist. Her voice was deep and husky with a hint of an accent?

I turned around my body now pressed against hers. Her hands still holding tightly onto my waist as mine rested on her chest.

"What is that supposed to mean?" I asked my voice quiet and nervous. As I felt the overwhelming feeling of butterflies return to my stomach.

"Don't worry about it lijepa djevojka." She said the last words obviously a different language but what language I'm not sure. But the way they rolled off of her tongue and melted into my senses I really don't care what language it is but I want to know what she said.

Before I could say anything back I felt the warmth of her body against mine disappear quickly. I watched as she walked away still facing me looking me up and down.

"We're having a movie night tonight. You should come." She said as she stood next to the doors of the empty practice area. "I'll think about it." I said as I pulled my shirt over my head.

"See you there dijete." She said winking at me as she closed the door. God what is this woman doing to me.

After I made it back to my dorm I texted Azzi asking what time the movie night was. She said 6:30 and seeing as it is 4:00 I have sometime to kill. I showered. Washing away all of the sweat and grossness from practice.
