love in the fan section

Lauren doesn't usually cheer loud at basketball games.

Don't get her wrong she's definitely enthusiastic, wearing her favorite player's jersey and sometimes facepaint if she's feeling risky. Usually she'll have a sign or a foam finger or some accessory to prove her loyalty to the team and she'll cheer pretty loud at baskets and good plays.

Right now for example. She's at the Cavaliers vs. Warriors game, which you can imagine is getting pretty tense from the history there. She's with Golden State, which means she at least has the pride of being the home team but people are getting pretty rowdy.

Lauren isn't rowdy though. Dinah isn't either surprisingly and since she's only with Dinah her party is being pretty respectful, which is a change because last time she was with Vero and Lucy who started chants every ten minutes. So she likes the quiet that they are because it's respectful and nice and she's always hated those loud people so she doesn't want to have to deal with that.

It's a good game to watch and for the most part nothing is getting to heated on the actual court yet so she doesn't have anything to really complain about.

"Splash Brothers? More like Trash brothers, am I right, I could play better ball than this and I'm 5'2," but there's that damn voice again. Usually Lauren can ignore obnoxious people cheering, really she usually gives them her best glares and rolls her eyes with the people around her, but she's never really fought back. (Other than in high school but that was different she was always in a fan section and everybody is obnoxious in high school, so she wasn't fighting back because she was mad, just to fit in.)

But this damn voice, this damn voice has been yelling the whole half and none, (really none at all Lauren's been listening) have been any good insults. The girl is sitting a few seats over from Lauren, their two groups sitting together basically and Lauren is a second away from yelling back because how obnoxious can you be? Obviously the girl is wearing full on crazed fan apparel, half her face white, half her face maroon, and golden under eye. She's wearing Irving on her back, which Lauren prefers to Lebron but still. She's got obnoxious fan written all over her and her three friends all do too but they're yet to utter a word other than the small conversation on the game. The girl Lauren's noticed is the only one being obnoxious.

"Laur you okay?" Dinah shoots her a questioning look and as Lauren as about to reply with a rant about how annoying the yelling is she's cut off, once again by the damn brunette sitting four seats over from her.

"My dead grandma could make a better call than that," she spits as a travel is called on the Cavaliers and Lauren rolls her eyes because, seriously?

Lauren decides not to yell anything back to avoid a fight and instead claps a little louder, "Let's go Warrior's, good lead boys keep it up," she shouts and doesn't mean to look over at the girl but now that she's opened her mouth she feels eyes on her and turns her head slightly to meet deep brown glaring at her. She shoots a smile faker than a barbie's then turns her attention back to the game.

They continue like that for a while though. Miss Pissy-Pants will say something unoriginal, or you know lacking any form of sense, and Lauren will cheer a little louder for her favorite team or even complement the referee's call.

"Good defense boys,"

"C'mon, people have gotten pregnant from less contact than that!" Lauren finally snaps and okay that one was a little blunt but Dinah's mouth drops open in a laugh and a few people around her laugh and murmur their agreement.

Now when she had just been cheering and clapping brown eyes over there had been glaring and pouting in return, but if Lauren thought that was glaring, right now she's shooting actual daggers when Lauren finally glances a look over at her. Not only that but one of the guys she's with is giving her a teasing look, seeing if she's going to take that.
