Take me out of the past | Paige Bueckers

20: paige

The two girls went to Brianna's car to carry all the equipment inside. "I've got the camera and mics" Paige informed Brianna. "Careful, that camera is not mine, and I don't want to pay for it if it breaks" Brianna joked. "Yeah yeah, we both know that you're the clumsy one out of us two." Paige teased. Both of the girls smiled at each other. Brianna's smile made Paige melt, and for a second she was mesmerised of how gorgeous the girl in front of her was. They continued until they got into the gym and to the court, placing the equipment down. Paige ran to the team and Geno while Brianna stayed to set up.

Paige and the rest of the team were practicing their mid range shooting skills as it was something they knew they could improve on. Paige could feel the presence of Brianna, which made her want to do her best. Brianna had been to many of Paige's practices back in high school, but the feeling Paige would get when Brianna would watch her had always been there. she smiled at the familiar feeling that she hadn't felt in years. "You're on fire today Paige, keep it up." Geno exclaimed. "Thanks coach!" the basketball player replied with a smile tugging at her lips.

At this point Brianna had gotten some footage of all the girls. She also got the compliment Geno had thrown at Paige, so she decided that it would be a good idea to interview Geno later on and make him talk about each girl and compliment their skills. So then she could edit each girls best highlights with Genos voice over the top, and have that be the way she introduced all the girls in the beginning of the first episode of the documentary, kinda like in shows where each character is introduced along with the theme tune. She just needed to figure out what the team's theme tune could be. She quickly scribbled the idea down before continuing to point the camera at the team.

An hour later, the team had moved on to their defense skills, this was Nikas element, the girl was going at it hard leaving Brianna's jaw on the floor at the shots she was able to get of Nika.

The team were still practicing, but Brianna had gotten all the shots she needed for today. She got her laptop out and began downloading all the files from the camera. She began editing Paige's clips together,leaving a few clips out so she could edit them in when she gets more clips of her playing, it was quite simple editing so she was done within 20 minutes. She was proud of herself, the clips flowed together nicely and she swore if she put it on TikTok, she would get millions of likes. Yes Brianna knew about the TikTok's, they would always pop up on her fyp, she would send Paige every single one. The blonde pretended she didn't like it even though she knew Paige had a folder dedicated to edits of her, half of which Brianna had sent to her. After that thought, she began editing Nika, knowing her fans would go crazy for some of these clips.

"Girls you can take five" coach Geno announced, giving Brianna the opportunity to call for Paige. "Paige can you come here for a sec, I need your help with something." Paige immediately smiled, jogging up to Brianna. "What's up?" Paige said as she sat next to the green eyed girl looking at the laptop. "So I'm making a montage of your skills in practice today, I'm going to do the same for the other girls too, but you had the most highlights this practice so I started with you. I haven't finished yet but I'm going to leave it for now until I get more shots of you. Nikas edit is also coming along nicely" Paige looked at the laptop watching the montage of her, she couldn't help but grin. "Oh so you're editing me now?" She said sheepishly, "anyway that's all I wanted to let you know but could you call for the rest of the girls, I need to ask the whole team something." Paige called for the team and once everyone was surrounding Brianna, she began speaking, "so as I've been explaining to Paige, I'm editing all of you in a little montage of your highlights, I'm going to put a song over this compilation song with Genos voice when he's complimenting all of you and it's going act as the intro to the documentary to introduce all of you guys. So the song is going to act as a theme tune. So what song would you like? There's no rush, you can spend some time thinking and talking about it as a group but once you've made your choice, let me know." All the girls loved the idea, already spitting out ideas for the song. They returned to practice after their little break.

Before Brianna knew it, the girls were finished and some were speaking about going out to get some food, others were laughing at the idea saying they are going straight to bed. It was 10:30 but by the time the girls had come out of the locker room, it was 10:45. Brianna had no early classes tomorrow so she agreed to come along, causing the small group of ice, jana, KK and Paige to cheer. The rest of the team said goodbye before leaving, Ashlynn muttering "you guys are crazy" before heading straight home and into bed.

Jana, KK and ice all went in ices car while Paige and Brianna went into Brianna's car. They had all agreed to meet up at chick fil a, Brianna beaming with joy as chick fil a was her favourite.

The music lingered over Brianna and Paige in the car, tension building up as they sat in silence. A tension that had been following them around since high school.

—————————————————————————
Felt so unmotivated today to write a new part when I got home from school today, so I'm sorry if it's bad. I'll try to write a better one tomorrow.

Also give me song suggestions for the theme tune of the team so I can include it later on in the story because I have no idea, thanks x
