They were best friends.
Until they weren't.

Secrets were never a thing between them. Nothing was too personal, too embarrassing, or too sad. They told each other everything-except one thing. The one thing that could ruin everything. The one thing they were both hiding.

They supported each other through everything: the games, the injuries, the press, the other crushes, the people they were supposed to want-but didn't.

So the question becomes:
Who breaks first?
And what happens after they do?

This book follows the dynamic between Paige and Azzi as it shifts from playful comfort to complicated closeness. The glances. The tension. The almosts. The what-ifs. The lingering something they've carried since Team USA-unspoken, but always there.

Tune in to see how their feelings unfold, evolve, and change everything.All Rights Reserved

Only you by 828728281hshsh

Before the championships, before UConn, before marriage and baby Harper-there was 2017. Paige Bueckers, 15, and Azzi Fudd, 14, were two of the brightest young stars in women's basketball, thrown together on Team USA's U16 squad. The problem? They couldn't stand each other. Paige thought Azzi was too serious, too polished, too perfect. Azzi thought Paige was cocky, loud, and reckless. But traveling the world together meant there was no escape. 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.

As Paige struggles to balance her rising career with her growing feelings, she must decide if she's willing to take the biggest shot of her life-confessing her love.

A Love We Can Name by anonymous20102021

Azzi Fudd and Paige Bueckers have been inseparable since they were five years old, growing up as best friends and basketball prodigies in a small, conservative town. Now high school sophomores and stars of the girls' varsity team at St. Agnes Academy, their bond deepens into something more-but they're forced to hide it from their deeply homophobic parents and judgmental community. As longing glances, secret texts, and stolen moments build into something undeniable, Azzi and Paige must navigate the pressures of teenage life, the intensity of their growing feelings, and the risks of being true to themselves in a world that won't accept them. Surrounded by friends, rivals, and the ever-present threat of exposure, their slow-burn romance simmers with tension, yearning, and a love they were never supposed to have.

OVERTIME by honyousuck

A slow-burn sapphic romance about identity, pressure, and the kind of love you can't post about - but feel in every pass, every playlist, every prayer whispered over a broken knee. Paige Bueckers was never chasing the spotlight - it chased her.The prodigy. The promise. The perfect player with the picture-perfect life.But behind the jumper and the interviews, there was a girl holding herself together by faith and a stitched-up knee and a smile that fooled cameras. Azzi Fudd wasn't Paige's mirror. She was her pause button. The one who sat quietly in the chaos. The one who didn't ask for anything Paige didn't already want to give. She didn't try to fix her. Just braided their hair as a pact: we'll heal, and we'll do it together. But when the spotlight burns brighter than ever, and the distance between college dreams and real-life heartbreak grows wide, love isn't a timeout. It's the full court press. And even if they played it perfectly and didn't fumble the love, they still had to carry it in separate jerseys.
