Arianna sighed and paced back in forth in the girls locker room. She was more than nervous for tonight due to her team having their championship game. She was the team's star, the best point guard Georgia State had ever had. Despite her being their star, she was still pretty nervous. What if she froze out there and caused her team to lose?
Whenever she doubted herself like this, her boyfriend, RJ Hunter would've been there and gave her his best advice. Unfortunately, he wasn't in Georgia State anymore. Now, he was apart of the NBA, living his dream. She loved the fact that her boyfriend was making his dream a reality but, she did miss seeing him. However, Arianna knew that she had to give it her all out there. She had to put her game face on and show everyone in that crowd she is the star of Georgia State's women's basketball team.
While the teams were now on the court, preparing themselves for game time... Arianna noticed a familiar face in the audience. It was RJ, he had come to her game. Better yet, he was wearing his Georgia State jersey, which happened to have the same number she had. She couldn't help but smile at the fact he had surprised her at such an important event. Now, she was even more determined to make the best of this game.

With less than five minutes left in their game, the entire arena was on their feet. Arianna had managed to get 27 points, 14 assists, and 7 rebounds but it was still not over yet. With the ball in her hands, she dribbled it down the court and found herself to be matched up with a smaller guard. It was too easy for her, faking a drive, she stepped back and... swish, she made yet another three pointer. That was 30 points for her tonight.
The Georgia State fans jumped up, cheering and began to chant her name. The game continued, Arianna and her team dominating for the final minutes and then it came to an end. The Georgia State women's basketball team were champions, they had won. The entire team embraced each other, emotions getting the best of them.
Arianna, especially was the most emotional because this was everything she had wanted, next to playing in the WNBA of course. She wanted to be one of the best female athletes that there are and empower others. Too busy with her team mates, she didn't notice her boyfriend walking over to her.
RJ walked up to her, hugging her from behind causing her to jump and turn around. She was relieved to see that it was her boyfriend. "Babe!" She smiled, wrapping her arms around him.
He couldn't help but smile at the sight of his girlfriend so happy, "Congratulations, my star point guard," He smiled again before he kissed her.
A bunch of whistles and "ooh's" came from the rest of the girls, causing Arianna to start blushing and hiding her face in his chest.
RJ chuckled, kissing the top of her head. "I'm proud of you, you hear me? You were amazing tonight, not that you aren't amazing every other night. But, tonight was your night, babe. Nice job." He complimented her.
Just hearing that from anyone, it would make her happy. But, hearing it from pretty much her other half made it even better. Arianna looked up at him, smiling widely. "Thank you," She managed to say, before leaning up to kiss him, "I love you, and thank you for supporting me.
He shook his head, "Don't thank me. I'm always gonna support you, baby girl. I love you too." He kissed her once more.
Tonight was Arianna's night, and it was just getting better for her... now that RJ was here with her.
