Discontinued Paige Bueckers has always carried the weight of expectation. A Minnesota girl turned national basketball phenom, she's fought her whole life to be more than just a name, more than just a highlight. But at UConn, the pressure only grows-and she's learning that even the strongest players need someone they can truly trust. Azzi Fudd appears calm, controlled, untouchable-a new teammate with a presence that pulls Paige in, even when she tries not to notice. But Azzi hides a secret: a life of privilege and scrutiny, a princess behind the walls of her carefully constructed identity. At UConn, she wants only to be herself. As their friendship deepens, laughter and late-night confessions give way to something more-something neither of them expected. But when Azzi's past threatens to catch up, both girls must navigate fame, pressure, and the unspoken tension between them. Can they trust each other enough to let their hearts lead the way?

Paige Bueckers, a 23-year-old basketball star, is known for her precision and focus. But when 18-year-old Nova Reyes, a creative and innovative freshman, joins the team, everything changes. Nova is an artist in every sense-expressing herself through painting, photography, and basketball. Her unconventional approach to the game, blending creativity with skill, frustrates Paige but also sparks something deeper. Nova's free-spirited nature challenges Paige's rigid mindset, and despite their five-year age gap, they form a bond that goes beyond basketball. As Paige is drawn to Nova's artistic vision, Nova is captivated by Paige's emotional depth. But their growing attraction is complicated by the pressures of their careers, and the risk of a forbidden romance looms over them. As they navigate their feelings, both must confront their fears-Paige's fear of vulnerability and Nova's fear of losing herself in someone else. Can they find a way to blend their worlds-one grounded in discipline, the other in creativity-or will their love slip away like a fleeting shot on the court?

They met as neighbors. Became something more over smoothies, secrets, and stolen glances. Paige Bueckers is the freshly drafted face of the Dallas Wings - smart, calm under pressure, and not exactly expecting to fall for anyone this summer. Avery Bennett is new to town, a former Alabama cheerleader with a ballet background, a quiet Instagram presence, and a job she doesn't talk about yet. She's also fiercely private, fiercely kind, and very much not into coffee. But when a chance meeting at a coffee shop leads to unexpected connection, what follows is a summer of slow-burning moments, late-night texts, and two girls trying to figure out how to let someone in - when the world is always watching. A tender, emotional, strangers-to-lovers romance set against the backdrop of Dallas heat, basketball games, friendship, and the kind of love that's more soft than loud - but hits just as hard.

Sydney and Paige were best friends in high school. They played at Hopkins together, they were inseparable on the court and off. The two girls finally graduated high school, very bittersweet, they decided they must spend every second together before the summer ends and they have to go their separate ways for college. Paige's graduation party finally came around, also a going away party since she had planned to throw it in August right before she left for UConn. The night of the party something happened between the two best friends... Sydney pushed herself through the year at the University of Tennessee but she hated it. She decided to transfer to UConn for her sophomore year. Geno saw Sydneys talent and immediately gave her a spot on the team. Her first practice was rough, Paige was not being very nice to her. She hasn't seen the girl in over a year. But not long into the first game together Paige tears her ACL... Will the two best friends become best friends again? Or maybe something a little more...

When Lexie transfers schools mid-season, Azzi's first instinct isn't to introduce herself. It's to lowkey stalk her Instagram. (Spoiler: She couldn't find it.) Now they're teammates, late-night texting, sharing secrets, and somehow...sharing a bed? Lexie is sarcastic, charming, and definitely hiding more than just her tattoos. Azzi's trying not to fall. Too bad she's already halfway gone. (Also, Azzi swears she's not a stalker. Mostly.) Side note: there will be mature content!

In which: Its Lexie Harvey's first year at Uconn and she needs to prove herself in her own spotlight and not in Paige's shadow. Catching feelings usually is a good thing, but for them, it can burn to the ground. Started: 20/08/2025 Finished: 2/11/2025 #1 in paigebueckers - 19/12/24 #2 in paigebueckers - 06/11/25

Who would have thought I'd end up being friends with the Paige Bueckers-basketball's golden child, admired by millions around the world? To everyone else, she's a superstar, but to me, she's always been just Paige. We met during Team USA camp, bonding over little jokes and quiet moments away from all the noise. Back then, neither of us cared about the hype; we were just two girls who loved basketball and understood the pressure that came with it. Over time, we became inseparable. Paige wasn't just insanely talented-she was hilarious, kind, and so genuine it almost didn't seem real. I admired her on the court, but it was off the court where I got to know the girl who loved messing around, eating way too many snacks, and singing badly to random songs. That was Paige to me-not some unattainable star, just a person I could be myself around. But lately, I've been feeling something different-something I never expected. Every time we're together, the air feels heavier, charged with something unspoken. I start noticing the way she smiles, the way her laugh makes me feel, and it's like the bond we share is shifting into something I can't quite name yet. And it scares me because this is Paige-my best friend, my teammate, my everything. What happens if I'm starting to feel more? What if... she is too?
