Billie Eilish? ☆ well hello, I'm cringing rn but this is my first story, I hope you like it cause I do hey wattpad's being a b!tch so I apologize if you see the chapters in a crazy order

addictions, the temptations that flow within the mind until it completely suffocates you. In utter awe as it creeps its fingers across your body till its at your neck. Too infatuated to resist the pain. It becomes apart of you. Kaia Jacobs was an addiction, the bare thought of her left a deep imprint within the heart as it yearned to be near her, to catch just a mere glimpse of her in the crowd. Kaia Jacobs UCONN's star soccer player, infamously known for her expertise to work the field effortlessly as if talent was a natural potent that pumped in her veins. Paige Bueckers UCONN's star basketball player, her swift moves along the court never ignored by the media and the crowd especially as charismatic as she was, she was born to be a star. What happens when the two star players cross paths, once more. Rekindling a burnt out friendship that neither expected to become more.

Some stories begin with a championship. This one begins with a choice. Paige Bueckers and Dior Williams were never supposed to become a divide. They met as teenagers wearing the same Team USA jersey-two prodigies whose connection quickly grew into something deeper than basketball. At University of Connecticut women's basketball program, they were meant to build a dynasty. Paige, the brilliant point guard who made the game look effortless. Dior, fearless and electric, the kind of player who could change a game in seconds. Together, they were unstoppable-on the court and everywhere else. But after a devastating Final Four loss, Dior makes a decision that fractures everything. She transfers to South Carolina Gamecocks women's basketball to play under Dawn Staley, chasing the chance to redefine herself. The move leaves Paige behind. Over the next few years, their lives unfold in parallel-championship runs, rising stardom, and a rivalry the entire sport can't stop watching. Their names climb to the top of women's basketball, sometimes on opposite sides of the court, sometimes haunting each other in the biggest moments. Then comes the night of the WNBA Draft. Paige goes first. Dior goes second. And somehow fate sends them to the same place-the Dallas Wings. Now teammates again, they must confront everything they left unresolved: the love that never fully disappeared, the sacrifices they made for each other, and the question that has followed them for years- What happens when the person you left behind becomes the one you're meant to build a future with?
