Couch rotting would be so much more enjoyable if i didn't have school work to worry about. But when has that ever stopped me. Watching all the twilight movies is wayyy more enjoyable.

"You want anything?" Cam says getting off the couch.

"Nah I'm good." How could food matter when Bella just threw herself off a cliff. I watch these movies over and over and act as if I haven't read the books and watched each movie 100 times.

"You wanna know something?" Cam says sitting back down with a bowl of chips.

"Sure."

"I think you like Paige."

What.

"What?" My awkward laugh fails me.

"Eve I'm not stupid. I know what it looks like when my best friend is head over heels for someone."

"Nah, you are crazy she is just a friend. I do not like her like that. I mean sure she is super cool and really pretty but I don't have a crush on her. That would be like saying I have a crush on Nika. But honestly who doesn't, that's beside the point though. Oh and just because I'm a lesbian doesn't mean I have a crush on every girl I'm friends with, you have accused me of that before let's not forget."

"Evelina Vienna Ricci. You just ranted to me, and you know what that means...." a smirk crawls on her face.

"You have a crush on Paige bueckers!!!" She jumps up off the couch.

"No I donttt" I let out a long groan. "Just leave me alone. I wanna know how Bella reunites with Edward."

"You are insane." I roll my eyes at her last comment and turn back to the TV.

For the next couple minutes I'm just staring at the TV as my mind is elsewhere until I get a text.

P buckets 🏀

You don't know what Top Golf is???

Now you have to come.

I will send you the location and you guys meet us there around 7.

See you then!

Evelina 🇮🇹🗽

See you then 😘

Did I really just send the kissing emoji to Paige. How stupid can I genuinely be.

"You wanna go do some Top Golf?"

"Do you even know what that is?"

"Nope! but the team invited us so we are going!"

"You sure you don't mean Paige?"

I walk away before I can respond to that.

I didn't have a reason to walk away I just want Cameron to sit and think before talking to me again.

When I walk back in the living room I don't even pay attention to the movie, I just drown myself in TikTok grwms.

"Can you just accept it." Cam says breaking the silence between us.

"Accept what?"

"That you like her. Just let me be right for once."

She was practically on her knees begging.

"Cameron. I do not like Paige in that way. I promise you."

She lets out what sounds like the loudest groan in the world. "Fine."

The day went by slow probably because I was checking my phone every five minutes counting down the hours till Top Golf. God do I sound desperate.

Even when I try to pull out schoolwork I just put it right back in hope those few seconds were actually an hour. Picking out clothes is usually a good time passer, so that's what I do. By the time I pull together something decent my room is a mess, and what sucks for me is I always dress up even if everyone around me is wearing sweats. Cam calls it dressing up syndrome.

When the time finally comes around and it's time for us to go I'm out the front door and in the car within seconds. These basketball players have become the only thing I look forward to nowadays.

When we walk up the steps I immediately spot Paige who is standing by herself on her phone.

"Aww were you waiting for us?" I tease making her look up from her phone.

"I'm just here to make sure you guys know where to go." She throws up her hands in defense.

"Fair point." We follow her up stairs and back outside to our lane.

"Look who it is." Nika says making everyone turn their heads towards us. Ice gives Cam a hug first while I practically jump into Nika. "Your fit goes so hard." She says pulling away. "Thank god you like it, I picked it out with you in mind."

"Okay, get a room." Aubrey says coming up to hug me. I laugh sitting down on the couches waving to everyone else.

"So someone is going to have to seriously explain to me how Top Golf works." I say grabbing what looks like the menu.

"Do you even know how to golf?" Paige says rolling over the two things of golf clubs.

"Nope."

"Good thing you have Paige, she is the pro at golf." Ice adds.

"Okay before we golf and take 100 years waiting for Lina to learn can we order food?" Cam says putting her menu down. I'm surprised she is the only one concerned about food since we are surrounded by a bunch of athletes. Nobody says anything and picks up a menu which leaves me to be offended by Cam's comment. I am a very fast learner.

"While we wait for food do you wanna do a TikTok dance with me?" Aubrey asks.

"I mean sure but I am not at all a dancer."

"But you have TikTok right?"

"I do."

"And you've never done a dance?"

"Never."

"Well today is full of new things for you."

She stands up and follow her to where her she sets up her phone. Luckily for me the moves weren't that complicated and I was able to catch on quick. It took us a couple retakes because I never stop laughing. After the third try it's perfect and Aubrey proceeds to show everyone while laughing at how stiff I am.

"Eve what's your TikTok so I can tag you."

"What makes you think I want my name attached to that. Let me stay a mystery"

"It's the same as her instagram"

"Damn okay I guess Cam won't let me live out my mysterious lifestyle." I shrug. She is after me today. So when drinks get to the table I immediately take hers.

"Hey! You aren't legal yet."

"I turn 21 at the end of the month I think I'll survive." We both laugh.

"I turn 21 at the end of the month too. When is your birthday?" Paige asks taking a sip of her drink.

"Oh really? Mines on Halloween."

"Mines on the 2oth"

"Looks like we are partying hard this month." Azzi says with a bright grin.

"Okay October babies,let's golf!" Ice jumps setting up the screen.

All the girls take turns and are able to hit the ball close to the hole. Now it's my turn. Great.

"Guys I really don't know what I'm doing. I don't even know how to stand or which club to get."

"Paige work your magic." She gets up rubbing her hands together. God why is everything she does so attractive. She comes up next to me picking out a club and leads me over to the patch of grass.

"Okay when you are ready the ball will come out of here. But first let's practice. So bend your knees like this." I mirror her stance. "Then you keep this arm straight while the other one bends and you bring the club all the way up here. Now the goal is to line up the club with the ball, but for now just do that much and swing. Don't forget to follow through."

I practice swinging until Paige speaks again.

"Good, now I think you are ready to hit." She grabs my hand on the club and gently moves it towards the hole where the ball comes out.

I do everything she taught me pulling the club back and hitting the ball while following through.

The ball flies in the air landing close to the hole.

"Fuck yeah!" I celebrate. While everyone else claps.

"Before the next person goes I would just like to thank everyone who has supported me and was able to get me to this point in my life. Special thanks to my coach, coach P I wouldn't be able to do this without you." I joke making everyone laugh.

"Take your sob story somewhere else," Cameron says standing up. "Let's watch the real pro work her magic." I sit back down watching Cameron. Of course she gets a hole in one. She is Cam. We all jump up cheering as she bows. No wonder she is my favorite person.

The rest of the night was filled with endless laughter and lots of cheering. Who knew golfing could be this fun.

"We should head home, I've got class in the morning." Cam turns to me.

"Okay fine party pooper let's go." She playfully pushes me standing up.

"Okay we are going to head out, see yall at practice." She grabs my hand.

"Thanks for this Paige! Bye, goodnight and love you all lots!" I say getting pulled away. I must be high off the energy we created because I cannot walk straight. Everyone says goodbye and we leave.
