"ong my poor friend" tiff said.

"guys why are we doing this ?? this is the playoffs we cannot be all friendly friendly" kiah said.

"we know that but just because we're on different teams don't mean we wanna see our close friends struggle" kelsey said.

"exactly" megan said.

"okay but still we need to be focused on beating them. if we wanna 3peat that should be our main focus".

"that's all you gaf about is a championship kiah ?? like yeah it's important and we all wanna win against it's also okay for us to want our FRIENDS too be okay mentally and physically even when we're on different teams"

"okay let's go for y'all get belt 2 a**" becky said coming into the locker room.

we quickly hushed and finished getting dressed cus she don't play that.

"why she ate us up like that ?" i said as we laughed.

"how you feel bestie ?" jewell asked.

"okay working on finding that confidence" i said smiling.

"period. look at you all happy today we love to see it" she said.

i continued to work on my shots and floaters. jewell and i worked on 3 pointers passes and reverse layups.

"wth ?? so she just sent you this out of nowhere ?" jewell asked.

"yup and i don't even know what i did wrong.. maybe it's cus i was ignoring her" i said.

"still that don't give her no right to say no sh** like this. you need to work on your floaters ?? fr" she asked shocked.
