Strings Attached

"Okay so hey girly pops, today we are trying Paige's special smoothie before our practice" KK's voice could travel a million miles and still project just as loud.

Paige, Ice and KK stood in the kitchen throwing random ingredients in the blender to create as they called "their strength smoothies." Many though would call it a much needed stop at the grocery store.

Lana was never a morning person. The girl walked out of her door frame with her sweatpants rolled up on her calves, her hair a knotted mess and her high school's volleyball shirt thrown over her torso. What remained unbeknownst to her was that she was now being seen by 10 thousand people on KK's tik tok livestream. No one is ever safe.

Paige cackled as she whipped her head to the girl who looked like she had crawled out of the sewers.

"GIRL HAS PANTALOONS. IM GONNA CRY." The blonde spoke trying to catch her breath.

"Oh girl, what demons did you fight in your sleep" Ice definitely could have convinced a few people on the livestream that she was genuinely concerned but after looking at Lana for another second she was unable to help but collapse to the floor alongside Paige.

"Oh LJ girl bo-" The last thing Jackson could handle was a comment from the freshman especially with her cheeks already burning with embarrassment. Before KK could finish her thoughts Lana dragged her feet back to her room to change before practice.

Paige had been the one to drive Lana and herself to practice considered the other girls had left because Lana couldn't find her navy blue practice shirt that was buried under a pile of clothes. Maybe that was a sign to clean her room. But then again.

No.

The pair rolled down their windows and sang along to the lyrics of Love Galore by SZA. Until they parked near the doors of the gym.

The two talked on their walk into the locker room talking about the new coffee shop being opened only a few minutes from their dorm.

Some would think that conversations after sex would be difficult. Lana and Paige on the other hand have created a strong bond, with strong rules. Always stay friends no matter what happens.

"Ahhhhh my Nika Baby" LJ ran to Muhl before engulfing her in a tight hug. Lana didn't really enjoy physical affection from a lot of people. Nika however, was able to break that barrier almost immediately.

"Oh LJ I forgot to tell you, I found you a very cute boy." Nika had been on Lana's case about being in a relationship, claiming she needs to find someone. Or maybe this had been Nika's way of telling the other brunette she needed to get laid.

Maybe LJ just didn't get a glow after having sex. That sucks.

Lana had not forwardly confirmed her sexuality. Mostly because she was confused herself. She liked boys and has liked them for her entire life.

But she also liked girls, more specifically blonde girls with blue eyes and who played basketball.

The girl had talked about liking girls before, and didn't get any weird looks from her teammates. But truthfully what could her team expect, women's basketball is a hub for gays.

So Lana had no reason to keep her sexuality concealed from the eyes of those around her. But maybe there was more to the situation than that, because if she outwardly came out, she can't take it back, there was no reverse button. Maybe she is living in a bubble of fear and denial. Maybe a part of her hopes that she is still possibly straight. Maybe she is just delusional.

But before Lana could respond to Nika whose eyebrows wiggled suggestively Geno's voice interfered, "Girls hurry up and start doing dynamics."
