"Is that so? Well, you still lost today so now you owe me a favor." "What do you want?" Now I'm really starting to realize what I might have gotten myself into. There's no telling what she's going to make me do. She walks up to me leaving only a few inches between us. My heart starts pounding as I'm wondering what she's going to do. I can feel my cheeks warm. I can't actually be blushing right now. She looks down and all I can focus on is how blue her eyes are. "You think I'm going to use it so soon?" She smirks as she leans in closer to me and winks. Suddenly, she takes the ball out of my hands and starts shooting again. "I'm saving it for when I need it, so don't forget." When UConn finds itself short players, El reluctantly joins the team to help her sister.
