it was opening night at the oracle arena and also one of the biggest nights in my life.

i was finally going to do what i've dreamt of.

be a live sports reporter.

i saved the most beautiful outfit for tonight.

steph was preparing his back full of clothes, shoes, etc etc.

"you almost done yet? orrrr." he impatiently whined.

"patience is a virtue!" i yelled.

i was finally done so i grabbed all my gadgets, notebooks. just everything.

i made my way to the pantry to grab some snacks for later.

i don't usually like to play with an empty stomach so i have a light snack with me 24/7.

i passed by the hallways and saw keilani fixing up her makeup in the mirror.

hold up.

i walked backwards to see her again.

she was.. put together.

i was in shock with how she looked tonight.

"yes?" she asked.

"sorry- i thought i saw a figure. just you." i stuttered.

she nodded.

i finally made my way to the pantry.

who knew she actually tried to dress up?

i mean it is opening day.

why am i here again?

"you gonna get ready or just zone out?" keilani asked.

i jumped.

"oh, right. i totally forgot." i lied.

"whatever you're acting weird." she laughed.

which is TRUE.

why am i acting so off right now.

steph, you've got a whole ass game ahead of you.

don't let nothing stop you.

"car's ready!" steph yelled from downstairs.

"i'll be there!" i yelled back.

i grabbed my bag and purse and ran out.
