Letters to Nowhere #1 (Completed!)
I've gotten used to the dead parents face. I've gotten used to living with my gymnastics coach. I've even adjusted to sharing a bathroom with his way-too-hot son. Dealing with boys is not something that's made it onto my list of experiences as of yet. But here I am, doing it. And something about Jordan--being around him, talking to him, thinking about him--makes me feel like I can finally breathe again. That's something I haven't been able to do lately. He knows what it feels like to be me right now. He knows what it's like to wonder--what now? I think about it constantly. I need answers. I need to know how to get through this. In the gym, if you're struggling, you train harder, you do drills and conditioning. How do I work hard at moving on? At being on my own? And what happens if I might be...maybe...probably falling for Jordan? I mean we live together now. That can't happen, can it? But kissing him...well, let's just say it's not an easy activity to forget.Complete

Flipping My Heart | KK Arnold
Trigger warnings: Eating disorders, body dysmorphia, self-harm, family abuse, internalized homophobia, self-hatred. KK Arnold has always known who she is on the court-leader, fighter, UConn's fastest rising star. The pressure of being a high-profile athlete never rattled her, until the day she's assigned to help plan a student-athlete charity event and ends up paired with Aria Rivera, a flyer on the university cheer team. Aria is soft-spoken, almost invisible in conversation. With her straightened black hair cascading over vintage baby tees, a silver belly ring peeking out from her low-rise jeans, and a wardrobe that looks like it was thrifted straight out of 2003, Aria carries herself like she knows she's hot. But KK notices what others miss: the way Aria never finishes her food, the tense silence when people talk about families, the way she never changes in front of teammates, always tugging at her sleeves or hiding behind hoodies. Aria's been trying to survive in silence. Since coming out, her family hasn't spoken to her. Her reflection feels like a war zone. Some days, eating feels like a punishment. Some nights, the shame is loud enough to leave marks. She's learned how to perform happiness-on the mat, in her clothes, in the way she kisses her friends on the cheek and posts pink emojis-but inside, she's unraveling. KK sees through the sparkle. She's drawn to Aria in a way she can't explain. What starts with shared coffee breaks and late-night event planning turns into tentative conversations, long drives with music too loud. KK wants to hold her through it all-to kiss her belly ring when Aria flinches at her own stomach, to protect her when she can't protect herself. But Aria's walls are high, and KK is used to fixing things with hustle and willpower. This? This is different. This is tender and terrifying. And when a photo of them holding hands after a game goes viral, the bubble they've built threatens to burst.Complete

No Ones Favorite Until You | Paige Bueckers
Dehlilah Rivera is a 5'6" spark plug from Woodlawn, Maryland. Black and Puerto Rican. Tough as nails. Grew up learning to talk with her eyes and protect her heart with sarcasm. She transferred into UConn as an unranked junior, overlooked by scouts, unwanted by her former coach, and rejected by an ex-girlfriend whose family said she was "too hood to be taken seriously." She plays with something to prove. Paige Bueckers? She's college basketball royalty. One of the most famous players in the country. Clean reputation. Press-friendly. Rich Minnesota suburb pedigree. Golden child. All-American. Loved. On paper, they don't match. On court, they don't miss. They're assigned to guard each other at practice-Coach CD's twisted way of keeping both sharp. Dehlilah drives Paige crazy. She talks trash, plays fast, fights for everything. Paige reads the floor like a chessboard, always two plays ahead. They push each other. Challenge each other. Make each other better. And neither of them realizes that they're already falling. Because Paige is completely oblivious to how deep her feelings run. She just thinks it's normal to stare a little too long. To offer her hoodies. To hate when Dehlilah laughs too loud at another teammate's jokes. To feel something primal when someone else touches her. Azzi sees it. KK sees it. Everyone sees it-except Paige. And Dehlilah? She refuses to believe someone like Paige Bueckers could want her. She's been called a mistake before. A phase. A risk. Her emotional walls are steel-plated. But Paige's constant presence starts to chip at them. Her softness feels safe. Her patience feels dangerous. For Paige, no one ever felt like home until Dehlilah. And for Dehlilah, no one ever looked at her like she was somebody's favorite-until Paige.Complete
