So Far Yet So Close | HVL Fanfic

Lilia Suarez, a newly freshman transfer from the Philippines. She currently goes to the University of South Carolina and was lucky enough to make the basketball team. But because of her lack of game experience and has only been playing street basketball back in her home country, she had a hard time keeping up. So, even if she is a part of the team, she's only a bench player.

She had her first game on the SEC Championship against LSU. There was originally no plan for her to play, but because of the fight that occurred, she had to go inside the court to play. Then, she was assigned to guard one of the best players of women's college basketball, Hailey Van Lith.

Hailey was impressed, to say the least. Especially since she is not that tall, she still was able to put up a fight.

After the game, the two met. Which made a friendship build between them. Not only a friendship built, but a rumor about them, too. Both sides were able to deny it very fast. But time came, and the rumors aren't becoming a rumor anymore. The friendship built isn't a friendship anymore. It was something more.
