Kalia West has been chasing Paige Bueckers since high school- always ranked second, always in her shadow. Even in college, Paige's early success at UConn overshadowed Kalia-until injuries sidelined her, and Kalia led South Carolina to a national title, beating UConn in 2022. Now, the roles are reversed-and the rivalry still burns. But when Kalia transfers to UConn after junior year, the tension turns into something neither of them expected. ✧ 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: 𝐣𝐮𝐧.𝟐𝟏.𝟐𝟓 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: 𝐚𝐮𝐠.𝟏𝟔.𝟐𝟓 #𝟏 𝐢𝐧 #𝐝𝟏- 𝐣𝐮𝐥.𝟐𝟐.𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 #𝟐 𝐢𝐧 #𝐛𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥-𝐣𝐮𝐥.𝟐𝟐.𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓

What happens when Paige Madison Bueckers, a 22 year old basketball player, meets Ava Rae Throne, a 20 year old influencer & it girl of UConn?

Paige Bueckers has spent her senior year focused on basketball, blocking out distractions, emotions, and definitely any hint of a crush-until Jordan Blake crashes into her world with that reckless charm, infectious laugh, and a friendship with half the UConn team. Cool, confident, and way too easy to fall for, Jordan becomes Paige's favorite complication. But everything changes with one text. What Jordan thought was a flirty (and very unfiltered) message to her tight inner circle-Azzi, KK, and Ice-was actually sent to everyone on the UConn women's team. Including Paige. Now the group chat is on fire, the locker room is buzzing, and Paige can't unread what she read-or unfeel what she's starting to feel. As tension, chemistry, and chaos collide, Jordan has to figure out if this embarrassing mess could somehow turn into the best thing she never meant to say out loud.
