"I want to do something stupid." Kai says as she walks into Paige's room, "where's Ice?" She adds as she notices the other tall hooper wasn't in the room. Paige shrugs her shoulders.

"What do you want to do that's stupid?" Paige asks snapping Kai back into focus.

"I want to do a stick and poke." Kai responds with a giddy smile on her face.

"What are you gonna do?" Paige questions, dropping her phone on her chest. Kai shrugs before Paige smirks, "I know what you can do."

Kai raises an eyebrow at the blonde, "and what is that?" Paige sits up and grabs Kai's hand. "Do a P on your wrist." She suggests, outlining a 'P' on her wrist. Kai gasps, "only way I'm doing that is if you get a K." Paige nods, surprising the girl.

"No way we're actually doing this." Kai says as she grabs the needle and skin safe ink. (DO NOT DO STICK AND POKES WITH PEN INK.) Kai grabs a bottle of Everclear to sterilize the needle. "Do you want a shot to calm your nerves, Bueckers?" Kai teases noticing how fidgety the blonde was.

"Maybe a dirty Shirley?" Paige wonders with a nervous laugh. Kai smirks at her, "does it look like I can make you a dirty Shirley right now?" Kai doesn't let Paige answer before dropping the needle in the alcohol and using a moist towelette to clean the area she was going to poke.

Paige bites her lip in anticipation and a little bit of fear. Kai laughs as she grabs the needle out of the alcohol and dips it into the ink before grabbing Paige's wrist. Paige lets out a sigh and turns her head away, Kai stifles a laugh before making the first poke. Paige lets out a small whimper before Kai continues with the poking.

Paige groans, throwing her head back, "is it hot in here?" She asks. Kai looks up to see her face was red, no doubt holding her breath.

"Princess, you have to breathe." Kai says teasingly. Paige rolls her eyes before looking at her wrist seeing the new ink. "That felt like it took fiveever."

Kai snaps her head up to look at the blonde before putting a pout on. "You used fiveever." She points out, seeming to have rubbed off on her. Paige rolls her eyes, jokingly of course. Kai throws out the used needle before grabbing a new one and setting it in the alcohol.

"Do you want to do my stick and poke?" Kai questions while cleaning the spot on her wrist. Paige shrugs.

"What if I fuck it up?" Paige asks, a tattoo is permanent. Kai shrugs, "It's just the letter P. You can't really fuck it up in my eyes." Kai reassures as she hands the needle to the blonde.

Paige hesitates before grabbing it and copying what Kai had did by dipping the needle in the ink. Paige grasps Kai's wrist and positions it so the P wouldn't be backwards. "Ready?"

Kai bites her lip and nods. Kai whines as the needle pierces her skin. Paige stops and looks up at Kai, "don't stop, keep going or I'm gonna chicken out." Kai says and Paige doesn't miss a beat before continuing with the poking. Paige sets the needle down, signaling that she was done with the stick and poke. Kai takes a deep breath and looks down at her wrist. The letter 'P' was branded on her skin now.

"Holy fuck, I can't believe we just did that." Kai speaks as she runs her finger over the fresh ink on her wrist, being surprised when the ink doesn't move. "Oo, can we go shoot some hoops!" Kai asks, grabbing Paige's arm. She shrugs and Kai cheers before rushing out of the dorm room.

Kai laughs as she grabs the basketball cart and rolls it out onto the court. Kai grabs a basketball, Paige doing the same. "Watch this!" Kai yells getting the attention of the blonde. Paige raises an eyebrow while watching the girl try and move the ball in between her legs.
