When she doesn't leave in the middle of the night this time... A Paige Bueckers story.

Cast and introduction

Jamie is a transfer from Iowa, best friends with Kate Martin and Caitlin Clark she feels guilty leaving them but now that her mom's finally moving in with her soon to be husband she has no other choice. Uconn would be her new home and the women's basketball team would be her new team, as an intern at Iowa Jamie did everything and now that meant the same for uconn except... All she can think about in her mind is the way that Paige Bueckers keeps glaring at her from the court, those blue fucking eyes taking her down to places she rather not think about, or maybe she would. "Fuck this..."

Selah Arnold had always been passionate about sports medicine. Growing up, she spent countless hours on the sidelines of her cousin Kamorea "KK" Arnold's games, fascinated by the intricate dance of athletes and the dedicated professionals who kept them in peak condition. Now, as she transferred to the University of Connecticut to pursue her master's in sports medicine, she felt her dreams aligning with reality. She had applied to the Sports Medicine Student Manager program, an opportunity that allowed students to gain hands-on experience in collegiate athletics healthcare. The program would allow her to work side by side with the medical team of the UConn Huskies Women's basketball team and that filled her with both anticipation and anxiety.

Paige Bueckers x fem reader Y/n is a junior transfer from the University of South Carolina. Due to her troubled past with the team she joins the Huskies in their pursuit of another national championship. Will y/n be able to let go of her past and accept the amazing life in front of her? Or will she fall pray to her demons and push away the people that truly love her? Author's Note: First and foremost, I want to emphasize that this is a work of fiction. I don't know any of the individuals mentioned, nor do I have any insight into how they might respond in real-life situations. I'm certain they are all wonderful people. For the sake of advancing the plot and creating a compelling story, some characters may be portrayed with negative traits or flaws. This is purely for narrative purposes. Without conflict or complexity the story would lack depth. Additionally, I want to clarify that I have no knowledge of anyone's sexual orientation. Once again, this is entirely fictional and should be viewed as such. Italics: inner thoughts ---: time skip ~~~: text messages

Between personal issues and everything else going on in their lives, will the two be able to balance it out while trying to grow and stay together at the same time? What happens when chaos strikes?

✧𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐭✧ Paige Bueckers isn't used to sitting on the sidelines, but after a season-ending injury, she's forced to watch the game from the bench. Frustrated and restless, she spends more time in the film room, where she clashes with Sienna Auriemma-the team's new assistant coach and Geno Auriemma's daughter. Sienna is sharp, sarcastic, and impossible to impress. She's determined to prove she earned her coaching spot, not because of her last name, but because she belongs. Paige expects to butt heads with her, but she doesn't expect late-night film sessions to turn into stolen glances-or for an argument over strategy to end in a kiss. Falling for Sienna was never part of the game plan. But the biggest risk Paige has ever taken isn't on the court-it's keeping their relationship a secret. Because if Geno finds out, Paige won't just lose her spot in the lineup. She might lose Sienna, too.
