ɴᴏᴡ ᴘʟᴀʏɪɴɢ: those eyes by poetschoas. ❝ cause all of the small things that you do, are what remind me why i fell for you. ❞ In which, Paige Bueckers and Jenessa Jayde used to be American basketballs worst nightmare. A dynamic duo both on and off the court. Until one drunken night ruined their friendship, and they both went ghost. Avoiding each other like the plague, not answering questions from the media, no contact. That is until Jenessa suffers a season ending injury her junior year, and realizes Iowa isnt her home anymore, so she enters the transfer portal and ends up at Uconn for the remainder of her college career.

Through long practices, curfews, bus rides, and the pressure of wearing red, white, and blue, their rivalry slowly began to shift. Enemies became teammates. Teammates became friends. And maybe-just maybe-something deeper was already burning between them, even if they didn't have words for it yet.

Lindsey watching as Tiana's pupils slightly expanded, her expression becoming slightly shocked.

Paige Bueckers had her entire senior season mapped out-until an ACL tear ripped it all away. Now stuck in recovery and barely holding it together, the last thing she wants is a psychologist monitoring her every move. Leilani Nākoa is the newly psych intern transferred from Iowa, with a lot to prove and a license on the line. She's not supposed to get too close. She's definitely not supposed to fall for the girl she's assigned to help. But rules get overlooked fast when tension simmers under every session, glances turn into something more.

She's about to lose more than just basketball.
