⎯⎯⎯ 𝐈𝐍 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄,
ISABEL TIGHTENED HER GRIP ON LACY'S HAND AS THEY MADE THEIR WAY THROUGH THE LARGE CROWD OF PEOPLE. Hawkeye fans had never showed up and showed out as much as they were this season. Every game was sold out and not a singular person with a ticket dared to miss out on the Lady Hawkeyes give an outstanding performance.
Luckily, after many stressful minutes of Isabel trying to find an outfit to wear, the two of them had made it to the arena in time to catch tip-off. Though, unfortunately, Kate had more than likely already seen her family and Isabel had missed the reaction.
She could hear the sound of the announcers voice in the distance, picking up her speed in step when she realized he was calling out Iowa's starters. Lacy huffed loudly, trying her best to keep up with her fast paced best friend—who had been the one to put them behind schedule in the first place.
They maneuvered their way around people decked in gold and black, apologizing under their breaths when they would bump into them. Isabel let out a sigh of relief when she finally found the tunnel leading down to their section. The two of them took the stairs quickly, eyes set solely on their seats. Luckily, Isabel had managed to secure seats only two rows behind the Iowa bench, so they would have a great view of the game.
Isabel smiled, now slightly out of breath, as she sat down next to Kennedy. "Issie!" Kennedy exclaimed loudly, making the rest of Kate's family look over at the brunette with grins. "I was beginning to wonder if you were even going to show up."
"Outfit issues," Isabel explained, "Your sister took back the sweatshirt I was planning on wearing."
Jill reached over her daughter's lap to place a warm hand on top of Isabel's. "Hi, honey." Her tone was as sweet as it always was, and her lips were graced with a happy smile. Matt also looked around his wife and gave Isabel a little wave before falling back into conversation with Trevor.
"Hey, Mrs.Martin," Isabel responded, leaning back to unblock the view of Lacy. "This is my friend Lacy." A timid expression took over Lacy's features as she mumbled a hello to Kennedy and Jill.
Seconds later Isabel was locking eyes with Kate, who had just taken the court with the rest of the starters for tip-off. She sent her an encouraging head nod in hopes to give the girl some reassurance. Kate hadn't directly said that she was nervous for this game, but Isabel could just sense it. It was a rivalry game that was a big deal to both teams and both would be playing their hardest to secure the win.
