You transferred from South Carolina with a chip on your shoulder and something to prove. Dominant in the paint, vocal in practice, and fearless in games, you brought a different energy to Storrs, one that not everyone welcomed.

Especially Aubrey Griffin.

From the jump, y'all clashed. On the court? Constant tension. Screens too hard. Elbows a little too sharp. Competing for boards like it was war. Off the court? Cold stares, snide remarks, and a vibe so icy KK and Paige had to constantly play mediator.

"Y'all gotta chill before Coach benches both of you," Paige warned one day, watching you and Aubrey nearly come to blows after a rebounding drill.

"She started it," you muttered.

"Grow up," Aubrey snapped back. "This is UConn. Not some South Carolina brawl."

You hated her attitude, so smug, like she owned the place. She hated your swagger-like you were trying to take her spot.

But underneath it all? There was fire. Chemistry. Sparks neither of you wanted to admit were real. And eventually, the line between rivalry and something more started to blur.

It started with lingering glances in film sessions. The accidental brush of hands during water breaks. A late-night one-on-one that turned into something else entirely.

Enemies first. Lovers... eventually.



this indeed is a slow burn and my first book, so bear with me 😛
