Pairing: Paige Bueckers & Azzi fudd
Basically: Azzi works at a Cafe.
Paige is entranced by her. Turns out Azzi plays volleyball and just committed to Uconn. She's roommates with Caroline. Idk how I'm gonna do it, but we'll see
Authors note: sorry on the late chap + I know it’s not that long, but I literally wrote half of this instead of doing my coursework. Mind you, this is counted for my nationals. Fuck me I guess
Regardless I hope you like this.
My English is average. Not proofread. Let me know if I should continue it.
I also have no clue how tumblr works lol. That's it. Leave a comment :)
(omg we’ve unlocked POVs 👀)
It would be an understatement to say that Azzi thought Paige was cool.
And amazing at basketball.
Of course she knew her. Who didn’t know Paige Bueckers? Let alone a Uconn student. Basketball was like royalty in this place, And Paige was the best basketball player here.
Paige was known to be confident, always flirting with girls and talking smack on court. So you can imagine Azzi’s confusion when the Paige Bueckers first fumbles while trying to order, and then stutters when she sees her at the dorm.
Did Azzi find Paige attractive? Yeah, of course. Was she intrigued? Very.
But she also knew how it was with basketball players.
Let alone one this important.
Paige wanted a one night stand.
Azzi wants a relationship. Something serious.
So, she’s just going to stay away from her.
Aside from the fact that they’ll see each other sometimes when Paige comes to Caroline’s dorm or to the café — avoiding her wasn’t going to be all that hard. She’d never have to be alone with her, which meant Azzi would never slip up.
Well, that’s what she thought anyway.
See, Azzi had plans with her friends today.
They were gonna get wasted. White girl wasted.
She was dressed and ready — a classic pink crop top with her jean shorts. Nothing too special, but her belly piercing made the look. She felt pretty, and that was all that mattered. Till, well, they canceled on her.
Gabby said — quote on quote — “girlfriend duties, I’m sorry!”
Azzi let out a hard sigh. It’s not like she could blame her. If her girlfriend was sick, she’d bail too.
Not like she had one, tho.
The rest of the girls going were all Gabby’s friends, and hanging with a bunch of white girls who she had no history with before today meant a lot of fake smiles and having to keep her composure. Which wasn’t exactly what she was looking for.
By her luck, Caroline walked out to a very gloomy Azzi leaning on the kitchen countertop scrolling aimlessly. It didn’t help that none of her high school friends lived nearby either. Just her luck.
Out walked Caroline, she seemed to have plans too, her hair was straightened and she was wearing a black dress.
“Azzi? You’re still here?”
sigh. “Yeah. I just got bailed on.”
“Whaaat?! What a waste of a good fit!”
Azzi’s face didn’t say whatever, it said I’m about to sit alone in my dorm room eating ice cream and thinking about how everyone else is having so much fun without me.
Well, that’s what Caroline saw anyway.
“Nope. I’m not allowing this. Come with us.”
Azzi’s eyes widened a little at this.
“Carol, it’s fine. I’ll be fine. I couldn’t possibly intrude-“
“Azzi. The more the merrier. You look too good to be seated here moping. Especially on your first day being my roomie. Plus, we’ve always loved company.”
Azzi smiled a little. “Okay, if it’s fine with everyone else.”
Caroline gave a wide smile and yelled, “YO GUYS, AZZI’S COMING!”
Azzi heard a couple of cheers coming from Caroline’s room, and let out a laugh.
Maybe she would still have fun after all.
In that same room, Paige was having a silent crisis.
Immediately after the cheering had settled down, Paige shut the door and started panicking. She wasn’t prepared for this. Just 10 minutes ago she stuttered infront of Azzi, and now she was going to a party with her?!
“Paige chill. You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”
“No. Nika. You don’t get it. I’m not prepared. At all. The only words I’ve properly spoken to her are “4 hot chocolates” and “2 iced americanos.” Im going to die.”
“Paige, please. You’ve gotten more girls than all of us combined. You’ll be fine. Just be Paige. Plus, it’s too late to back out now~”
Paige Bueckers was freaking out. Over a girl. She was flustered. Over a girl.
Paige doesn’t freak out. Especially not over women.
Flustered? She never gets flustered. Hell, the last time she blushed was in high school when she messed up her presentation infront the entire school.
And it definitely wasn’t because she was afraid of shooting her shot.
Or that she couldn’t flirt.
Because Paige Bueckers doesn’t show weakness.
She was always the most confident and cocky person in the room.
So why the hell was she fumbling so bad?
She slumped onto the wall and slid down to the floor, her heart beat drumming in her ears.
Thump thump thump. Thump. Thump. Thump..
Slowly, she regained some control of herself.
She’s Paige Bueckers. She has multiple top tier models in her DMs. (Not that any of them could top Azzi) Hell, she has hooked up with charli-fucking-damelio.
Who the hell was azzi fudd anyway? (a girl that very clearly had a chokehold over her)
With one last deep breath,
“Okay. Im ready. Lets go.”
Paige Bueckers twisted the doorknob with only one mission in her head.
She was going to pull the café girl.
Hook up? More than a hook up?
All she knew was that whoever this girl was, she was doing things to her ego.
And Paige didn’t like that very much.
