"Hey how was the photo shoot" I ask Paige as she walks in the door

^ photos Paige shows Peyton
"Wow" I say speechless "You look so good"
"I know right, they did such a great job" she says
"When are you announcing the NIL deal with them" I ask turning to look at her instead of the photos
"Later today actually"
"So you're telling me other people are gonna see how hot my girlfriend is"
"Oh I'm hot?" she says with a smirk
"very" I say as I lean in and kiss her which she quickly deepens. I love feeling her lips on mine, they are so soft and I never wanna pull away.
The kiss gets heated as we are both almost out of breath. It's not like a make out that will lead to sex though, it's more like a make out to show how much we love each other.

It's the next day and I just got my bruise looked at again. It's not swollen anymore so I don't need ice but it is literally the size of a softball.
I walk into my room where Paige is already waiting for me while we wait for Nika and Aaliyah to come to my room because we are going to get lunch in a couple minutes.
"You wanna make a tiktok with me?" Paige asks and I sit down on the side of my bed next to her
"Sure, which one?"
"The cheese touch trend"
"Oh my god with the baby face filter, I love that trend!" I say excitedly
"What part do you wanna do" she says chuckling
"The part with less words because I got an awful memory" I say laughing which makes her laugh also
Paige clicks on the sound and starts recording me pointing to the camera where it cuts to her screaming "Stop! Good god man, you almost got the cheese touch"
Then she stops recording and points the camera towards me and records me saying "The what?" confused.
Then she stops the recording again and records herself saying "The cheese touch, nobody knows when or how but one day that cheese mysteriously appeared on the blacktop"
I then start laughing at how serious she is saying that into the camera and lean into the frame of the camera making her laugh as well at the end, before she stops the recording and we watch it all together.
"That was really good" Paige says after we watch the whole thing
"Look you can see the basketball poster I have on the wall in the background" I say laughing as I point to it in the video
"my number 1 supporter" Paige says laughing before posting the tiktok
We are laughing so much we didn't realize Nika and Aaliyah walked into my room which I left unlocked because I knew they were coming.
"What are you guys laughing about" Nika asks
"We just made a tiktok" I say trying to stop myself from laughing
"Which one" Aaliyah asks
"The cheese touch one" Paige says recovering from laughing
"Wait, I wanna do that tiktok" Nika says pulling out her phone
"You need two people" Paige tells her
"Peyton do it with me" Nika says as she sits down next to me on the bed getting ready to record.
We finish recording and I can't stop laughing again because while Nika was saying "The cheese touch, nobody knows when or how but one day that cheese mysteriously appeared on the blacktop" with a straight face, Paige and Aaliyah started dancing in the background making her laugh, but she decided to post it anyway.
"Alright are you guys ready to get lunch because I'm starving" I say standing up from the bed
"Yea, where are we going" Aaliyah asks
"I don't know what do you guys want" I ask everyone
"what about pizza" Paige says
"Pizzas good for me" Aaliyah says
"Yea me too" Nika adds
"Alright pizza it is" I say as we all start heading out of my dorm.
We make it to Blaze Pizza which is like Subway but instead of customizing your own sandwich you customize a personal pizza.
Nika and Aaliyah walk in and Paige holds the door open for me with the hand she isn't using holding my hand, and then walks in behind me.
We all go up and order our pizzas and then sit down at a four person table while we wait for them to cook. Paige and I are sitting next to each other and then Nika and Aaliyah are on the other side.
"Do you guys have any plans after this" Aaliyah asks
"No, I don't think so" I say turning to look at Paige unsure if she has practice today
"No we don't" Paige says noticing that I wasn't sure
"Wanna go see a movie with us" Nika says excitedly
"what movie" I ask chuckling
"Uncharted, the movie tom holland is in" Nika says
Paige and I look at each other and communicate without talking, which is something we've gotten good at doing, just be reading each other's facial expressions and knowing each other
"Yea sure, are we going right after this?" Paige says
"Yea the movie starts in two hours" Aaliyah says as I grab my water and start to drink it
"Woah, that's a nice ring Peyton" Aayliah says noticing the ring Paige got me
"Oh, thank you" I say smiling
"They have matching ones" Nika adds pointing at Paige's hand where she is wearing her ring also
"Oh my god, that is so cute!" Aaliyah says looking at the both of them while Nika go grabs our pizzas that are ready.
Paige and I both got a margarita pizza and Aaliyah and Nika got a regular plain pizza.
"This pizza is pretty good" I say after taking a bite
"Ow, Ow, it's hot" Nika says waving her hand in front of her mouth to cool her mouth off
"What's waving your hand gonna do" Paige says as we start laughing at her
"Oh shush" Nika says grabbing her water and drinking it as we continue to laugh at her.
"Why was my pizza hot but yours wasn't" Nika asks me
"I don't know, maybe my pizza is just better than yours" I joke making Paige and Aaliyah laugh
"Don't worry Nika mines hot too, that's why I haven't eaten it yet" Aaliyah adds
