Take me out of the past | Paige Bueckers

7: paige

Paige woke up, a little later than usual because Saturday practice had been rescheduled from the morning and now would be from 4:45 - 8pm. Geno had emailed the girls saying that they could wear whatever as it wouldn't be an actual practice but instead the whole team would be introduced to the film student and we would spend the time playing ice breakers and getting to know one another. The girls were also told they could bring snacks or even games like uno.

Paige decided she wanted to go to the gym in the morning, before meeting up with KK and going out to breakfast. Her and KK spent the whole day together until it was time to head to practice. On the way there Paige decided she should post on instagram as she hadn't in ages and her fans began to worry. The genuine worry of her fans made Paige giggled, but she appreciated that they cared for her.

Paige and KK were one of the first people to arrive, they walked to the court where Geno had placed chairs around in a circle.
"Coach what is this?" KK asked with a grin spreading across her face. The idea of coach setting up these chairs and imagining how long it would have probably taken made the pair laugh more than it should have.
"It's for the team and the film student, you know the one you'll be meeting today." Geno said sternly, wiping away any smiles that were still on KK's and Paige's faces.

The rest of the girls had arrived, still no sign of the film student. Everyone had sat down, the only seat left was inbetween KK and Paige. Before anyone had the chance to ask why the film student wasn't here yet, Geno interrupted their thoughts and began to speak, "girls I had actually all asked you to get here 15 minutes before I had told the film student to get here, just to make it clear that I want all of you to welcome her and make sure that whatever she needs you to do, you do it. I have met her and I think she will be a lovely addition to the team, so please, if you are ever planning to hang out with each other or go somewhere, keep in mind that you should add another invite to the list. I would love it for all of you to be friends." With that Geno left to go meet the girl who would be filming the documentary. As the doors closed behind Geno, quiet conversations spilled out between the teammates until Azzi started speaking, "guys, we need to be really welcoming, especially today. Imagine how she is probably feeling walking into a room full of people who already know each other and you're the only outsider. I'd be fucking terrified." Every girl nodded at what Azzi said, but the room quickly dropped into silence when we heard the door opening.

"Girls come over here" Geno exclaimed and each girl stood up making their way to greet the girl stood with Geno. Paige was near the back of the group but she could hear faint greetings as she waited for her turn. Ice was in front of her, as ice moved away, Paige's eyes met the other girls's gorgeous green eyes. Both of the girls's faces dropped in horror, a hint of red spreading across Paige's face as all of the emotions came flooding back in. At this point all the girls on the team and Geno were looking at this interaction confused. After what seemed like forever, "Brianna?" Escaped out of Paige's mouth in an insecure and fragile voice. A second later Brianna muttered back, "Paige." Matching the insecure tone Paige had just spoken in seconds ago.
