13. Karma

You can't keep just doing them girls like that

Thinking that nobody finna bite back

Losing your mind, baby

Can't be sure, time's wasted

Jenna

"Cait— stop.." I groan before silencing my phone again as it rings for the 10th time, my head pounding from the night before and throat dry from the lack of water.

Am i still drunk?

A arm quickly makes me jump as it latches onto my waist and a soft breath snores lightly into my neck. I turn slightly to recognize the familiar blonde and let out a sigh.

wait.

Blonde?

"Paige!—" I scream making her jump and fall off my small twin bed as she groans loud.

"Jenna?" She questions rubbing her head. I chuckle slightly at the hungover girl, her hair was sticking out of a bun in multiple different directions and she only worse a sports bra and shorts.

My shorts.

I look down quickly to realized i'm still dressed in the clothes i wore to the bar.

Thank god.

"That's definitely a look..." I giggle softly pouting to my small tie dye shorts on her lengthy frame, "Honestly i'm feeling the whole messy look— so attractive.." I purr jokingly.

"You little!" Paige climbs over the bed to mess my hair making me scream lightly and run away from her.

"Can't catch me!"

"Just wait til we get on the court."

"Oh cmon PB.. you couldn't catch me when we were 15 let alone now with one working leg and a robot knee.."

"I hate you."

"You love me-" I stick my tongue out at her before she runs towards me making me scream and trip onto my bed.

Her not far behind me.

"fuck" She lands — both hands gripping my sheets tightly as she lands on top of me.

"Hi.." I smile blushing slightly as i look up at her as she hovers over me the messy loose peices of her blonde hair tickling my cheeks.

"H-Hi.." She stutters probably realizing how close our faces are.. "Did you always have those gold specs in your eyes.."

"i-i..."

"last night did we—?" Paige starts to mumble confused as if shake my head.

"I don't think so— why would you— " My sentence was cut off by just phone ringing yet again.

Caitlin.

Stupid ringer.

Caitlin..... always ruining a moment..

"What's up?" Paige questions climbing off me. My body shivering slightly at the quick air the hits my skin the second her warmth leaves mine.

"She's been calling me all morning one second."

I answer it and hear silence on the other end.

"CC?"

"don't CC me young lady."

"Cait not now..." I sigh putting my head in my hands.

"first what the fuck Jenn, i thought you were dead!"

"You have my location Clark!" I argue back before taking a deep breath.

"Is she okay?" Paige questions sitting on my bed.

"Is that Paige?" Caitlin's voice depends almost in anger.

"Yeah— we — i really don't know how to explain." I chuckled lightly looking up at the blonde.

"I'm gonna go make us coffee.." She mouths before walking out.

"Cait I think we are finally getting back to the old me and paige!" I said excitedly making her face drop.

"Cait what's wrong?" I panicked, "do i have something on my face?"

"You and Paige... I— Jenn.. um..."

"CC what is it?"

"Jenna.."

"Caitlin?"

"Jenna.." Caitlin sighs into the other side of the phone building just worry, "have you been on social media lately?"

"No? I'm pretty sure... i— holy shit" I gasped while opening my phone up.

almost 1k notifications on instagram.

50 missed calls.

180 texts.

what the fuck happen last night.

"am i on speaker?" Caitlin whispers as i end up facetiming her.

"what is all this?" I question scrolling through my mentions before tapping on the video.

Ices Live.

"What the fuck..." I mumble as tears become visible in my eyes.

"She's just not my cup of tea, too stuck up- gets too many things handed to her, she's gotta work for what shes gonna get. Thats what we all did. It's been like that ever since we were kids, and a starting spot shouldn't be one of them.."

Tears stream down my face as Paige walks back in her smile quickly dropping before rushing to my side.

"Get the fuck—" I shove her off me before handing her my phone Caitlin still visibly on facetime.

"She's just not my cup of tea, too stuck up- gets too many things handed to her, she's gotta work for what shes gonna g—"

"Stop fucking playing it!" I cry, "w-why would you— i—" I choke over my words as i hiccup, "why would you.. how could you!" I shove her off my bed looking at the blonde with teary eyes, hers becoming glossy too.

I hear the hang up sound of facetime go off on my phone but pay no attention.

"I can't fucking believe that i thought we could be friends again."

Paige stands there shocked apparenr on her face.

"jenn- i- i didn't mean—"

"To hell you didn't ! You fucking said it! ON LIVE!"

"I was drunk—"

"Drink words are sober thoughts paige"

"Jenn-"

"HOW COULD YOU!"

"I —"

"I hate you."

"you don't mean that.."

"Get OUT!"

"Jenn please.."

"GET OUT! I fucking HATE you" I scream throwing my pillow at her as she walks to the door, giving me and my tear stained face one last look before she's gone.

Paige

"i-i don't know what to do—" I cried into Azzis shoulder, "i swear i — i didn't mean it.." My heart feels like it's been shattered ripped out of my chest and tapped together horribly with athletic tape and put back in.

"I know you didn't... we all do.." She sighs looking up at Nika and KK, "but she doesn't.. you need to give her time P... it's alot. Expecially coming from someone she thought she knew well.."

"She still does know me.. i'm me —"

"She doesn't think so right now P.." KK sighs rubbing my back, "Everything changing for her— she's away from her friends, family, it's a lot and this is all—"

"But she's going to hate me forever now right? how could she not!" I cry

"Not forever, right now she may hold some resentment, but it wont last forever i promise — plus you guys are teammates.."

"That's WORSE!" I cry trying to catch my breath in Azzis shoulder..

"Listen P... i hate to be the one to break the bad news but we have practice in an hour.. you two either need to suck it up and deal or talk it out. DONT bring it on the court..." Nika sighs patting my shoulder.

"You two will figure it out— you always do.." Azzi smiles patting my head before all our heads turn to my phone ringing.

I sighing picking it up, "It's Caitlin.."
