*December 4th (Alivia's Birthday)*

Alivia's POV

"More Rooney more." Our strength and conditioning coach yelled as I squatted with a 75-pound weighted bag over my shoulders.

I cursed under my breath as I finished my squats. Today our basketball practice consisted of some basketball but mostly cardio and strength work. I groaned as walked over to the pull-up bar. I groaned as our strength coach walked up to me. He decides to give me harder workouts and then picks on me about how terrible I did.

"I want your pull-ups to be weighted and you need to double the amount." I sighed as he handed me a 25-pound weight ball.

I started my pull-ups and sweat rolled down my face as I did them. Soon, I finished all of my workouts and Mili walked with me to the locker room.

"I saw Coach Wood trying to kill you today," Mili said as we walked into the locker room.

"I'm ready to throw those dumb ass weight bags at him." I sighed as I grabbed my clothes from my bag.

"Sorry. I got you something though." Mili said before yelling to the other girls. "Aye, today's Alivia's birthday so let's sing her Happy Birthday."

"I hate you," I whispered to Mili before they started singing.

I stood there awkwardly as the girls sung to me. I smiled and thanked them as they finished and of course, they went in for a group hug. I laughed as we all fell to the ground on top of each other.

"Alright get off."I laughed as the girls got up.

I stood up and grabbed my basketball bag out of my locker. I turned to Mili who was changing.

"Imma go get in an ice bath and get my things and calves massaged out by Talley," I told Mili, who was trying to get her shirt on.

"Ok, I'll see you at home. See you in a bit." Mili said before we did our handshake.

"Adios," I told her before walking out of the locker room.

I walked down to the athletic trainer's office where I found Coach Talley.

"Hey, can I get an ice bath and my legs massaged out?" I asked as I leaned on the doorway of his office.

"Sure, follow me." He stood up and led me into the athletic health room. Some people were getting physical therapy while others were getting ice baths.

"Go change while I get the bath ready." Coach Talley said before he started to pour ice into the tub.

I walked to a bathroom with my basketball bag in hand. I quickly changed into a pair of spandex shorts and a sports bra before walking out of the bathroom. I walked up to Coach Talley who had the ice bath ready. I thanked him before getting in. I sat to where just my legs were in the water. I messed around on my phone while I sat in the bath. I was reading some birthday tweets when I heard someone call my name.

"What's up, Rooney?" I rolled my eyes as Brock walked up to me.

"What do you want Brock?" I asked annoyed.

"Just saw your fine self sitting in an ice bath all alone. Mind if I join?" He asked smirking and biting his lip.

"If you even try to get in this water I'll beat the shit out of your fugly ass." I sassed back.

"Damn, a little feisty aren't we." He smirked and touched the water making me lung at his as if I was going to hit him.

"Aye, sorry. I'll get you one of these days Rooney." He smiled before walking away.
