Second Person Pov
Paige was currently in her dorm freaking out. She accidentally followed you on instagram while scrolling through your account. She was hoping you would just ignore it but then she saw you followed her back and her heart nearly stopped. "You know it's not that big of a deal right?" Azzi says watching her best friend pace around their dorm. "But it is," Paige says dramatically throwing herself down on the couch. "You're so extra" Azzi says grabbing her bag. "Let's go, you don't wanna be late do you" Azzi says making paige drag herself up and out the door.

Your Pov
It's been 3 days since my sister brought Paige over, let's just say i've been seeing nothing but rainbows and butterflies. "Glad to see you up and about" Tatum says walking into the kitchen where I was. I definitely was still in pain, but it was tolerable enough. "Well it's not like the world is ending" i smile. "You weren't saying that 2 days ago Ms. My life is over" Tatum mumbles under her breath. "Oh hush, today is a new day" I say making her roll her eyes.

"Anyway i'm assuming you're going to class today" Tatum says. "Nope, i'm doing everything online for the time being" I say. Realistically could someone just drive me to campus? Yes, but i wasn't ready to go back yet. Correction, my apartment was comfortable and i didn't plan on leaving anytime soon because the air on campus was shitty. "Well i'm about to go out so don't die while im gone" Tatum says grabbing her keys, locking the door. I grab my bowl of cereal and go back to sit on the couch. It was like 2 in the afternoon and i had absolutely nothing to do. I get a notification from instagram so i decided to open it.

PaigeBueckers followed you

My jaw literally drops at the sight of her name. I'd be lying if i said i didn't start squealing and kicking my good foot. I follow her back almost immediately. She probably only followed me because I told her i considered her a friend, either way, i was happy regardless. I started scrolling through her posts looking at stuff spanning back to before she even committed to Uconn. Some would call it stalking, but i call it learning. I think i've been inside too long, Paige probably hasn't even given me a second thought since she left.

Third Person Pov

"Brady are you coming with me to take this to your sister?" Tatum asks walking into the gym where the girls were practicing, well practice just ended. Ice looks up from what she's doing over by the goal. "Yeah sure, just give me a second" she yells back. Paige couldn't help but smile as she nosily listened to Tatum and Ice's conversation. Azzi looks over at paige shaking her head. "Actually, why don't y'all all come. Y/n hasn't has any social interactions lately" Tatum says making ice smile. She knew exactly what Tatum was trying to do. Y/n had this very dumb and irrational fear of the basketball team. In her words they were big and intimidating.

Once the team finished cleaning up everyone who didn't have anything to do after practice piled into each others cars and drove to Y/n and Tatums apartment. This included Amari, Paige, KK and Nika. Everyone else was busy. Nika and Y/n had met time and time again considering they both are seniors and have been going to uconn together for a while. Tatum pulls out her phone texting Y/n to come open the door. "Okay guys so i hope you all remember your job" Tatum says making them all nod. Y/n opens the door being greated with obnoxiously loud singing of Rihanna's Only Girl in the World, well what she assumed was that. Not only was it completely random and off key but it's who was singing that made the situation even more insane.

First Person
When Tatum told me to come open the door the last thing i expected was to be greeted by my sister and some of her teammates. I also wasn't expecting such terrible singing. My body couldn't decide if it wanted to laugh or cry. "And scene" Ice says making them all stop singing. "How was it" Tatum asks smiling. "I was seriously contemplating crying right here on the spot" i say scratching my head. "What's all this anyway, and please stop standing in the hallway before the neighbors call the cops" I say letting them all in. Tatum sits a gift basket on the counter. "The team made you a gift basket, but since they all were busy i brought your sister" Tatum says. I look at her expecting her to say more because she brought way more than just my sister.

"That doesn't explain the singing or the extra, and very scary 4 people" I mumble the last part. "Oh yeah, this is Amari and KK and i'm pretty sure you already know Nika and Paige." Tatum says point to everyone. "She's scared of you guys by the way" Ice adds. "Well don't be scared of KK she's like 5'9" Amari says making everyone but KK laugh. "Oh no i'm definitely not afraid of you, i'm taller than you" I say. KK rolls her eyes at me making me laugh. "I'm not scared of Nika anymore, though she used to mug the hell out of me when we first met" I say making Nika smile a little bit. We continue to stand around the kitchen as i get acquainted with everyone. I also take the time to talk to Paige again.

"Who's idea was it to sing" I ask making her smile. "It wasn't my idea to sing i just picked the song" she says. "It was Amaris idea to sing, we all agreed it would be awkward if we just all stood outside your door in silence when you opened it" she says. "Well i'm glad you guys didn't do that, i would've cried" I say making her laugh. "You're such a crybaby" she says gently shoving my shoulder. "Y'all call me a crybaby, but i think you guys should just stop making me cry" I say pouting a little. Paige bursts into laughter as if it was the funniest thing under the sun. Everyone turns to look at us, as i hit her with my crutch. She thinks she's sooo funny, but i couldn't help but laugh with her.
