Basketball game

so I'll tell y'all the insperation for this one at the end but this is going to be a modern one and it's kinda a highschool au so ye

(Y/N) POV

I walk into the gym of the school we'll be going against this time. Kathrine and I sit on the edge of the stage and I see the basketball team on the other side of the gym.  I glance through and see the kids I know from school. I wave to my brother Jack and he waves back to the two of us.

"Are you excited?" I ask, leaning over to Kathrine. She shakes her head.

"Not really. You forced me here so you could stare longingly at Race the whole game." She says. My face turns a bright red and I turn with my mouth wide open.

   As I go to say something else the buzzer rings and the game starts. Rolling my eyes I let it go and watch as the kids on the team suck dreadfully.

"Honestly what were they thinking putting Cole in? He may be tall but he can't shoot worth his life!" I say ranting to Kathrine as she tries to quiet me. "Race needs to he in there! He can shoot better than both of the tallest people on the court!" I ramble on.

"(Y/N). Please quiet down I'm sure the whole basketball team can hear you!" Kathrine complains to me. I roll my eyes as Jack makes a basket.

"Finally! Go Jack!" I yell clapping at my brother. Kathrine resists the urge to hit me once she sees how happy I am.

"Do you even know how to play?" She asks me.

"Kinda...ok not exactly but more or less."
I say shyly. I turn back to the game as they put race in and take out one of the other players.

"All the coach does is yell at them! I may not know all the rules and code of the game but I know putting stress on the players does not help." I say watch Race get the ball taken from him. Suddenly I hear a whistle.

"Traveling." Kathrine and the coach say. I nod my head. "And you're right," Kathrine starts " all he does is yell and it doesn't help. I was talking to Albert the other day and he told me he gets stressed out when coach yells at them." The two of us roll our eyes and continue to watch the game.

Time skip

The final buzzer goes off as the games final point is scored by race. My brother told me after the game the boys are going out to this really good ice cream place in town and asked if Kathrine and I wanted to join. We accepted and met the rest of the team by the bleachers.

"Hey Race! You did a really good job today... Um y'know scoring the last point and all..." I say awkwardly. He turns to me and smiles.

"Thanks (Y/N)..." He says, his cheeks turning slightly redder than before. "Are you coming to the ice cream place with us?" He asks abashedly.

"Um yeah! Jack invited Kathrine and I." I tell him, giggling lightly at how nervous he was. We all gather into Davey's minivan (oh yes that au is here) and make our way to the ice cream place. We all arrive and make our way inside. Somehow we all get seats mostly near each other. I sit next to Race and another member of the team. We all play around until its near closing time. Race and I talk about random stuff for the most part. At the end of the evening we've basically ignored the whole team to talk about different things. He gives me his number and tells me to text his as Davey drops Jack and I off.

"So you promise to text me?" He asks with a smile on his face.

" Yes I dearly promise you, Racetrack Higgins I will text you." I say with a grin spreading evenly across my face. I get out and head to my room without even saying hi to anyone.

I sigh contently and plug my phone up. I go around my room and find a book I haven't read yet and read well into the night.
