The other twin

"i know baby..."

Alexis

it's now the next day. paige and i came back to my dorm, not surprised to see the whole team there.

obviously we told them about us being together. they were pretty ecstatic to say the least.

at the end of the night everyone went back to their dorms except for paige. who slept with me.

it is now morning and i'm waking up to my phone ringing.

i glance over at paige who's still peacefully sleeping on my chest. so i slowly reach over to grab my phone.

it shows kk calling. "what kk? we don't have practice till 10, it's currently 7:30." i hear some shuffling before she speaks.

"boo, you gotta check your socials." i furrow my eyebrows and put her on speaker.

"uh, why exactly?" i open instagram and see i have many notifications. "someone took pictures of you and paige last night." my heart drops.

quickly clicking on my notifications, i can see im tagged in one post multiple times by random people.

i open the post and feel the color from my face drain.

someone took pictures of paige and i outside gample kissing in front of her car. "fuck." i whisper.

"yeah. i've been telling people to report it to get taken down. i just wanted yall to know before it gets too outta hand." kk says from over the phone.

"thanks kk." she says 'you're welcome' and we hang up.

i sigh and scroll through the comments.

paigefanpage: yall are so fucking disgusting. taking pictures of people like that.

sassymissy: no way! i knew plexi was real!

user88: there's no way paige would actually go for her. or her dumbass twin. they're both shitty basketball players and need to leave UCONN.
^paigefanpage reply to user88: you can fuck off. cause i bet you don't even know how to play basketball.

user9: i don't know if i should be happy or sad.🧍🏾‍♀️

alexisfuddwife: my plexi heart is full🥹

kimbo_kings: yall are calling alexis ugly but praise azzi for her looks when they're twins.

tmzfanpage: azzi is the better twin. she plays better, she looks better, and shes better for paige. alexis can't even express herself and we all know paige needs someone who does.🤷🏽‍♀️
^paigefanpage reply to tmzfanpage: girl wtf are you on?! we don't know what or who paige needs or wants. if she's with alexis, she's with alexis. it's not our place to make decisions for them. yall have so many opinions on people's love lives when half of yalls are nonexistent.

before i could scroll more, i feel my phone being taken out of my hand. "leave it." paige rasps from below me.

she sets my phone on under her pillow. "they took fucking pictures!" i seethed. paige simply pulls me down towards her.

"i know baby." i huff at how calm she's being right now. "that's not right! they even posted it without permission. this is fucking crazy. can't even have a fucking girlfriend without niggas in my business." i rant.

and never, i mean NEVER do i say the n word. i'm so pissed right now that it slipped right out.

"okay. look at me." she grabs my face. "breathe in for 5 seconds." i inhale. "hold it for 4." i hold. "breathe out for 4" i breathe out.

"now tell me how you're feeling." i sigh and lean into her. "im annoyed. i get the girl i've wanted for years and not even 24 hrs go by and the whole world knows."

she hums and rubs my back. "and your feelings are valid. i'm annoyed as well." she softly tells me while continuing to rub my back.

we hear a knock on the door. "come in." paige says. looking over i see azzi walking in.

already knowing she's getting in the bed. paige pulls me more towards her side. allowing azzi to lay down behind me.

"how're you feeling twin." my sister asks and hugs me. "annoyed." i feel her nod.

"what do you guys want to do?" i shrug my shoulders too annoyed to think rationally.

"well whatever yall do, the team and i are always 10 toes behind you guys." sighing, i turn around to hug her.

"they talked so bad about me." i mumble.

i'm not one to be hurt by the comments of others, but when it comes to relationships. it hits a little too close to home.

azzi's body stiffens. "they're wrong. they're all wrong." she whispers.

i feel the bed dip from movement behind me. assuming paige got up, i just hold azzi tighter.

"i wanted to say something so bad. they even dragged you into it." she only sighs. "that's fucked." my twin mumbles.

we sit there for about 15 more minutes before i let go and sit up. "how're you feeling now?"

i shrug. "better. still annoyed but better." i turn my head and see her softly smiling at me.

"that's good."

i nod and get up going to the bathroom.

it's around 8 right now. so we don't have practice for another 2 hours.

i just need to get out the dorm though. i can't feel this way and be coped up in my room till practice. it'll dwell on me too much.

so i shower and change before walking out to the living room. paige is no where in sight but azzi is in the kitchen.

"i made smoothies." i smile and walk over. "where'd paige go?" azzi just shrugs. "couldn't tell you. i came out and she was gone." i nod.

she just left without saying anything.

just then our front door opens and in walks paige. she's looking down at her phone before looking up.

she smiles once she sees me. walking over she wraps me in a bear hug.

"i thought you left..." i say into her shoulder, hugging her back.

"not without a goodbye, i wouldn't." i pull away. "where'd you go?" she lifts her phone and shakes it.

"talked to my agent about getting any posts about it taken down." i pout at her.

"you're lying." she shakes her head. "i'm tired of the internet always being in my business. this is the one thing im going to protect to the ends of the earth."

i smile at her then give her another hug. "aweeeeeeeeeee! yall are so freaking cute!" my twin geeks from the corner.

i chuckle and pull away. "yall wanna hit the weight room with me? i can't be sitting down right now." they both nod their heads.

"ill just stop by my dorm real quick and come back." paige kisses the top of my head.

"okay. we'll be here." she smiles and backs away going towards the door.

i sigh and lean on the counter. azzi comes over.

"it'll all work out. paige won't let it get too bad. she cares way too much about you to let it happen." she places her hand on my arm.

"i know." she nods and pulls me in for a hug.

"good. i'm gonna shower and change. i'll be out in like 20." i smile.

"yeah you kinda need it." she flips me off as she walks away.

i just smile and shake my head.

dear god, don't let this situation get too outta hand.
