PAIGE WOKE up to an empty house, Jenessa must've left already to drop Kate, Gabbie and Caitlin at the airport, good riddance in her opinion.

The blonde made herself some bacon and eggs, plopping onto the couch and turning on some random show. Buzz! Her phone began vibrating, Geno's contact popping up.


"Yo Gramps, whats up?"

"You and Jenessa have a gatorade photoshoot together in 2 days."

"And why didn't we get to talk this over?"

"Because you two haven't posted, gone to events, nothing. The media is starting to wonder if your relationship is real."

"Well it ain't, i'm sick and tired of this Coach."

"Paige, this isnt up for negotiation, you two need to figure out your crap, it's affecting your guy's playing and we all see it."


Geno hung up, making Paige let out an annoyed groan, throwing her head back on the couch. Just then, Jenessa walked in with a frown on her face. "Whats your deal?" Paige asked, referring to her mood. "I just left my best friends again dude, what do you think." Jenessa snapped, she was done playing nice when all she received back was hate from the Bueckers girl.

"Damn, alright. We've got a gatorade photoshoot in 2 days just so you know." Paige held her hands up defensively. "K, whatever." The brunette replied, slamming her door behind her.

Paige didn't see her for the rest of the day.



Jenessa and Paige walked into the shoot, seeing many people running around setting it all up, they immediately got ushered to hair and makeup. Jenessa's long hair was slicked back into a high ponytail, light makeup applied to touch up her skin, she glanced over to see Paige's front stranded being dutch braided into a low ponytail, her signature look.

They came in Nike workout clothes, per request. Jenessa in a forest green tight long sleeve and black basketball shorts, Paige in a plain white tee and navy blue basketball shorts. "Alright, we're going to spritz you guys with this water, it's dyed green with food dye so be careful of your eyes." A woman spoke, holding up a spray bottle.


They both nodded, shutting their eyes as they felt the cold water hit their skin. The director threw gatorade towels around the girls necks, telling them to stand back to back.

Paige and Jenessa had to act as if they were in a happy relationship throughout the whole shoot, laughing and teasing in between shots. "Alright, how about one where Paige is wiping the sweat off Jenessa's forehead with the towel?" The director instructed, Jenessa turning to face Paige, the blonde delicately bringing the towel to her forehead, pretending to wipe off sweat which was really just water.
