perks of having a basketball player mom.
paige bueckers x reader
â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â đ
your mom is a âcool momâ. sheâs a very successful person. from being a basketball star in her high school to being scouted to uconn for her skills, and to being drafted the wnba.
she played with indiana fever, and stopped playing at 26, as she met your dad and had dreamt of a family. many people didnât like her decision of stopping basketball, but as she will get better salary at a different field sheâs also good in (marketing), and since she wanted a family, she didnât care about all the negative comments.
she had a good career in basketball, but a woman can change her dreams. people should always be supportive of the goals women have, even if a woman wants to create a family. let women be happy!
2 years later, she had you. you grew up to be very different from your mom. you hated basketball, itâs not a sport where you excel. you excelled in ballet as all parents do, they placed you in a ballet class at the age of 3. you loved doing ballet ever since, and your parents supported you in every step you took.
as a shining ballerina, youâve been studying in college at the julliard school. you started 2 years ago, and now in your junior year of college. youâve been training hard to become a professional ballet dancer.
college has been really stressful for you, but luckily it was the last week of march, which is the start of spring break for you.
you book a flight to cleveland that week, as youâre parents are there to see your family friend. as a uconn star, your mom has been friends with uconnâs basketball coachâcoach geno. coach geno has been your momâs coach during her senior year in college, and has been family ever since. coach geno was your momâs figuratively âcool uncle.â
you arrived at cleveland, and texted your parents that youâre on the way to your hotel. when you arrived, your parents were estatic to see you, asking you many details about your recent week.
after having a conversation, your parents invited you to eat dinner with your family friend. you said yes, and everyone started to get ready.
you and your parents headed to the restaurant, and saw coach geno at the entrance waiting for your family.
âits coach!â your mom said. âhey kiddo! glad you guys are here, glad to have you guys support our team.â coach geno shaked hands with you and your father. your mind began to think.. support? how..?
âhow are you coach geno?â you asked, as your family and coach geno settle down on a table. âdoing good! your parents havenât told you this yet, but Iâm actually here for a uconn final four game against iowa, and Iâve got tickets for you and your parents. you want to come?â coach geno explained.
so thatâs the support he was talking about. iowa also rang a bell in your mind, many of your classmates in school are obsessed with an iowa player. caitlin clark? you think.
you havenât really watched a basketball game for so long, but the basketball spirit is always fun. you answered a âyesâ to coach geno. your parents, especially your mom, were very excited to come to the game. you all then had a good time eating lunch.
fast forward to the following day, which was game day. your mom wanted everyone to wear a uconn clothing. she gave you a âvintageâ dark blue baby tee that has uconn at the front. you paired it with a white ruffled skirt and rubber shoes.
it was 9am, and geno was advicing your family to come at the basketball stadium by 10am as he wants the team to introduce your family to the team, especially your mom, since she was a uconn player.
you were doing your hair, a simple half ponytail, and your mom asked you and your dad if you were both ready to leave.
your dad hasnât really gotten ready yet, and your family just decided to leave at 9:30am. this gave you more time to get your makeup done and prepare your belongings.
after getting ready, you and your parents travelled to the stadium. geno met your family at the front of the stadium, which was already packed with fans. people were also talking about your mom being there, many of the people trying to get a glimpse of a wnba star.
geno then guided you guys inside of the stadium, which had both iowa and uconn media teams getting ready for their interviews and commentaries. walking past them, you and your family made it to uconnâs designated locker room and waiting area.
you see uconnâs womenâs basketball team, who were all very excited to meet your mom.
âyou know who this is ladies, and with her are her family. thatâs her husband and daughterâ coach geno introduced you and your dad to the team as well.
everyone were saying their âhelloâs, and after your mom having a small chit chat with the team, she and your dad were hungry.
âcoach, there are many food stalls around the stadium right? im famished, ill eat first, ill come back afterâ your mom stated, fixing her belongings.
âyeah thereâs a lot! no problem.â coach geno smiled. âhey y/n, you wanna come with us or stay here?â your mom asked. you were actually already talking to a member, nika, and was enjoying the conversation.
âcan i stay here mom? i still feel full since i ate leftovers from last night.â you asked, your parents nod and told you to keep safe.
after your parents leave, the team got more chaotic as time passed by. you just continued chatting with nika.
âso, any hobbies?â nika asked, while offering you a small pack of doritos she got from a table. âwell.. i would want to do ballet for a living.â you responded, accepting her snack offer.
âno way!!! do you do it as an extracurricular after school?â she said with an excited-and-suprised-at-once tone. âwell, i study at julliard so, i do ballet for my studies basically.â you explained.
âyou do ballet? thatâs so cool! i cant even do a split!â kk butted in the conversation, with the others following.
everyoneâs attention is now on you, all asking about how julliard works and your accomplishments. they were all just weirdly looking at your doritos, but you shrugged it off. they were probably all just craving it.
you then got to learn more about the team, how they were scouted, and their current training process and such. you loved everyone in the team.
kk is funny and kind, ice is sweet, aubrey is fun, nika is down to earth, and paige is friendly and sickeningly attractive.
those were just some of the team, and you were very enthusiastic to learn more about the others too.
âso, has your mom ever taught you basketball?â paige asked, her attractive voice and pretty face catching you off guard.
âoh uh, not really. her and dad play all the time though.. and i usually watch. not into basketball but i maybe know a thing or two.â you answered, your cheeks flushing.
âwell thatâs too bad, i wanted to see you hoop.â paige replied while spinning a basketball. kk then got it. âwell i want to see paige do 10 pirouettes, you should teach her y/n.â
paige and y/n chuckled. âi would matic fail. y/n would not want to be friends with me anymore!â paige answered.
after about an hour of more chit chatting, it was now time for warm ups on the court. you were bidding your goodbyes and giving everyone a goodluck.
âi better see you shout chants y/n! ill wave at you when i see you!â paige said, tying her shoes. âbet you i will.â you smiled.
you then approached nika one again. âi will definitely shout whenever you score. goodluck nika!â you gave her a small hug.
âthank you y/n! had fun with you today! ill search you on instagram later. enjoy your doritos!â nika reciprocated your hug.
lastly, you approached coach geno, thanking him for letting you stay and told him goodluck. he thanked you back and gave you directions to the entrance of the stadium.
you then left the room, making your way to the entrance where your parents texted you to meet at. you then looked at the doritos once again, and saw a note.
youâre cute. can i take you out on a date?
if you would like to, donât hesitate to text me
+01-NNN-NNN-NNN. <3 paige
you smiled hard, you canât believe that the person you were secretly eyeing on was eyeing you too. well if it isnât the perks of having a basketball player mom.

uconn freedom wall entry #2205
paige and y/n are dating. the uconn wbb went to the football game, and y/n was with them. she was wearing paigeâs jersey shirt. they werenât seated beside each other, but they kept on glancing at each other, i was near their seat. canât believe a freshman bagged paige bueckers đ¤ˇââď¸
comments:
huzkieeees: explained their nonstop bickering
paigefan: NOOOOO
y/nâs heart was beating fast as she read the post. have they not have heard of privacy? what do you mean they kept on glancing at each other?
kk and azzi waited for y/n to respond, getting more curious for what she would say. âits okay y/n we already know.â kk said, to give y/n a âsafe space,â with azzi agreeing to her.
âi dont know where to start.â y/n said, she planned on telling the two about what she felt different about paige. âi know ive disliked her, but im not gonna lie, i like her attention. i felt rewarded when she replies back to my shit talking.. and yesterday.â y/n briefly explained.
âWHAT YESTERDAY?â both azzi and kk asked, with their eyes growing bigger with y/n confessing about what she feels toward paige. âwhen you guys asked me who would i kiss on the team, i thought about paige. it was so weird though, since ive disliked her. i literally canât sleep yesterday since i kept on thinking about her. maybe my petty acts were disguises to get her attention. i dont know.â y/n explained further.
âthe psychology student is finally psychology student-ing!â kk joked, azzi slapping her arm. âseriously though y/n, the others have been noticing about your actions toward paige. you may like the basketball player.â azzi places her hand on y/nâs left shoulder.
âweâre not asking you to make a move quickly, but you should reflect on your actions first boo.â kk added. âmaybe, but you and i arenât always correct. i might just let the flow go. and plus, i do not have energy to respond to any of the rumors. whats true is true and whats false is false.â y/n said, getting up immediately stretching her whole body.
âthatâs true. this rumor might be a plus even, paige always gets bombarded with crazy girl and boy fans thinking that they can get a shot with paige.â azzi agreed. after the conversation, the three waited patiently for the others to comeback with their breakfast.
when the rest of the team arrived, they all gathered around the living room or the kitchen area to eat. they opened the tv to watch an nba game. y/n could feel paigeâs eyes on her, and paige could feel y/nâs eyes on her. it was a weird feeling for them both, not bickering to each other the second they are in each otherâs presence.
everyoneâs laughing around, but even to them it was obvious that there was a tension between paige and y/n.
âoh y/n uh hereâs a coffee. aub said that you will need it.â paige handed y/n a spanish latte, which was her absolute favorite. when paige gave y/n the drink, their hands touched, which weirdly gave both of them an âelectric feelingâ the two just shrugged, thinking that maybe it was from the freedom wall post and they just felt overall weird after that. y/n then replied with to paige with a âthank youâ, and went to kk and azziâs corner in the living room.
after eating their breakfast, they all decided to get ready to walk around the campus as their âsaturday not-so workout.â it takes 2 hours for the whole team to get ready, hence there is no need to worry about how they just ate.
it was always tradition for the team to walk around the campus during saturdays. they get to visit the buildings and other parts of campus that they dont normally go.
people then started to get ready, with paige announcing to everyone that she has dibs first to her own shower. she got responded with âGIRL JUST SHOWER!â âSHOWER NOW! NOT LATER THEN IF YOU DONT WANT PEOPLE STEALING YOUR SHOWER TIME!â by her teammates. paige rolled her eyes, and walked into her room and closed her door to get ready. the team huddles into the dining area.
âso, whatâs our plan for next week?â nika asked the team.
âwhatâs going to happen next week?â y/n responded with another question.
âpaigeâs birthday! october 20.â ice answered.

synopsis: with y/n being in a new environment, still facing rejection, how can she bounce back?
materlist
chapter 7
âyou know y/n, at this point i just think that you have a liking for me. if you donât then.. why is my name and jersey number at the back of your shirt?â
y/nâs eyes widened, and check the name at the back of her shirt. it said bueckers with the jersey number 5. she immediately explained that aubrey gave it to her.
âi do not have a crush on you! donât be so much of an assumer. aubrey gave it to meâ y/n denied. âi left the shirt?â paige asked aubrey, furrowing her eyebrows. âthink so. didnât know that it has a name at the back..â aubrey explained nonchalantly and grabbed her phone. paige and y/n just shrugged it off, and waited for the game to start.
in a groupchat, the messages were going wild.
nika
AUBREY YOUâRE SO DONE
aubrey
atp why canât they realize they love messing with each other because they want each others attention đ¤Śââď¸
azzi
youâre so smart aubrey i love you
nika
cant believe we have to do their own first moves
kk
LIKEEEEE
never seen paige so happy when she messes with y/n
ice
paige is literally stopping her smile right now đ
q
and i thought y/n is a psychology student đ¤ˇââď¸
â¨the messages stopped after awhile just before as the game started. everyone had fun, the team jumping when the uconn team makes a point, and shouting uconn chants every now and then.
after the football game, uconn fortunately won, and everyoneâs school spirit were showing. the womenâs basketball team all decided to get uber eats and eat at paige and azziâs dorm.
when they arrived at the dorm, y/n asked the team if she can leave, as she didnât want to feel left out due to the fact that she isnât part of the team or even as active as them in sports.
everyone started saying no, they all genuinely wanted y/n to be there. she is always a good company.
the team ordered wingstop, and thought of what to do for the night. some suggested karaoke, dance battle, but truth or dare (or shots) won for the night, everyone was just in their mood to feel oozy.
the food finally arrived, and they all immediately started to eat. after some time, azzi brought beer, tequila specifically.
play: anytime by sza
âokay lets get this party started!!! we have a very very special guest todayâŚ.. y/n!â azzi playfully said. everyone got hyped and started the game.
âokay so truth or dare. if you donât want to answer the question or do the dare, you get a shotâ nika explained, and got a water bottle to spin. she then spinned, and the bottleâs cap pointed at kk.
âKK!!!!â everyone laughed. âtruth or dare booâ aaliyah asked. âdare boo!â kk answered. âokay.. we dare you to sing a cover and send it to coach geno!â
kk was up for it, and sang saturn by sza to coach geno via dms, with many voice cracks and flat notes. everyone was laughing and having fun, with kk being proud of herself. coach geno replied when he got the message, and sent a âđâ and a âjust stick with basketball.â
kk now turned the bottle around, which pointed at aubrey. âim choosing truth!â aubrey exclaimed. azzi had a question in mind, and asked who aubreys current liking was. aubrey got shy and answered that sheâs been eyeing a junior in the uconn womenâs volleyball team.
everyone was shocked, asking if they have talked already or how aubrey discovered her. ânah uh, only one question per turn!â aubrey didnât ask answer questions, spinning the bottle.
it pointed at paige, with her choosing dare. the team then asked her to text her ex an âi miss you.â paige was always one who does dares, but for this one time, she hesitated. paige wasnât sure why.
âuhm the girl from lsu?â paige asked, giving her time tho think about it. âduh! sheâd always be there whenever we have games and still cheered for uconn even if sheâs from lsuâ ice mentioned. paige now decided to not send a text, she didnât want to associate herself from love interests. she didnât want y/n to witness that, and she didnât know why.
âi dont know ice, iâll drink this shotâ paige
drank her shot, and everyone in the room felt silent.
do-do you even know im alive?
this was their first time seeing the person who never drinks for a game actually drinking because of a game. either way, the team didnât force paige and continued to have the fun atmosphere.
paige looked around, and saw y/n get up, maybe getting more snacks. paige is now starting to realize how pretty y/n was. paige thought that the ây/nâ effect was coming from y/n wearing her jersey. it just simply felt weird for someone in the team (or atleast close to the team) wear her jersey. but she felt nothing when kk wore it.. or when nika wore it.
paige shrugged off the feeling, and spinned the bottle. the bottle pointed at nika, who chose dare. kk had a âgoodâ idea in mind, which was to have nika film a tiktok, as she isnât always in the teamâs tiktoks.
nika groaned but got up, and kk then showed her an easy tiktok dance. y/n and the team then decided to all join her which ended in pure chaos and fun. after the tiktok, everyone got back at their seats still laughing.
nika spinned the bottle, and it now pointed at y/n. y/n said truth, and people were contemplating on what to ask her. q then got an idea, âin the team, who would you like the kiss the most.â q asked. a bunch of âOOOOsâ followed.
do-do you even know im alive?
y/n wasnât sure. scratch that, she was scared. her first thought was paige. she didnât know what to feel and do, since she thought that she had always disliked the basketball player. was she into paige the whole time, using her âdislikeâ antics to get paigeâs attention?
y/n was taking awhile, the others already asking the same question. instead of answering, she drank her shot instead. everyone was saying âAWWWsâ and âNOOOOs.â
the psychology student looked around and saw paige looking at her, like the basketballer didnât know whether to be happy or not, but y/n just shrugged it off, just like paige.
after many rounds of truth or dare, everyone is either tipsy or wasted. it was around 1am, and they all decided to call it a day night. it was late, and most didnât seem to be in their proper minds and behavior (some were just really lazy) to come walk back to their dorms, so they all decided to have a sleepover.
y/n was positioned on the couch. everyone said their goodnights, and close the lights. y/n tried to sleep, but with the many thoughts in her mind she cant. she thought about her research, which was due in a month, stressing her out.
â¨she then thought about paige.
do you even know im alive? do you even know?
she canât comprehend as to why she loved messing around with paige, and why she loved seeing paige give her a negative reaction, but from all these experiences, why was she the first girl she thought of kissing?
after an hour of y/n just looking at the ceiling, she finally got sleep.
-
in the morning, y/n was awoken up by many notifications, with kk and azzi being on their phones and screaming. âgoodmorning guys, what happened?â y/n asked, stretching her arms.
âbrace yourself, you can scream as loud as you want since itâs just us three. the others went to dunkin and bought breakfast, they might take timeâ kk explained.
azzi gave y/n her cellphone, with a post from uconnâs freedom wall.

chapter 6
âwhat the fuck is your problem?â
âno need to get all sensitive babeâ paige scoffed. y/n disliking on paige grew more.
the team got back to the parking lot, and bid their goodbyes. y/n was with kk and aubrey inside the car. âhey, you alright?â kk asked y/n. âoh yeah im okayâ y/n replied. âwe are sorry about paige, she isnât like that. weâll look more into this when we can.. just let us know if youâre okay or not y/nâ aubrey apologized. âno need to aubrey, itâs fineâ y/n thanked the two.
on another car, a similar conversation was going on. âwhat is on with you paigeâ azzi asked. âyeah, you are not like thatâ nika agreed. âit just feels weird when she is thereâ paige explained. nika and azzi sighed and started to give their own lectures to paige going back to the dorms.
everyoneâs car arrived at the same time at the college parking lot, and the team bid their goodbyes.
after a long saturday, y/n was glad that it was sunday, she could have her own time by herself. she first got up out of her bed, and put on casual clothes.
she got out of her dorm, and headed for the nearest cafeteria for a good breakfast meal. she was eating her meal, enjoying, until a blonde figure walks by her. âwell well well, its too early for an eye soreâ paige said as she walked.
âbitchâ y/n whispered, but not quiet enough for paige to not hear it. ânerdâ paige snickered back. as if thatâs supposed to be a negative comment? y/n thought. the two then continued on with their own activities.
their childish actions to each other didnât stop, that was only the start of paige and y/nâs nonstop bickerings and âpranksâ to each other. after a month, the two grew closer, specifically in the âdislikeâ aspect. the following are just some of the instances of when y/n and paige were messing around.
1. aubrey asks y/n to bring her basketball shoes to the court. aubrey forgot her shoes, and y/n brought it to her. the team said their hellos, and paige made a mean commentâobviously. âif it isnât stanford girl, oh wait.. you didnât get in right?â paige commented. âoh if it isnât the number one star of wbb.. oh wait? youâre number 2!â y/n replied back.
2. during their study sessions for y/nâs research, y/n saw that paige was struggling with chemistry. âcanât believe student 3.9 gpa canât do simple molarity problems..â y/n made fun of paige.
3. y/n brings gatorade for the team, but doesnât give paige.
4. paige hideâs y/nâs wbb files, only to put it back in her bag after 30 minutes. paige just loves seeing y/n pissed.
5. âthis is why you will never get a gf!â âyou too!â
6. kk was non-formally interviewing the team for the media. when kk asked y/n who on the team would she not let her son/daughter date, y/n answered âpaige,â and when kk asked paige who has the best music taste, paige answered âdefinitely not that researcher whoâs always with the team..â
after their endless interactions, the whole team at that point didnât know if both were friends or not. they all got pissed by it, but they just got used to it after awhile.
on a friday night, the team and y/n were given tickets by coach geno to a football game, he gave them their training session to watch something fun as a reward for their hardwork. geno had an extra ticket and gave it to y/n as sheâs always around doing her research, and wanted to give her some time for a night out too.
everyone was estatic and thanked the man. the game starts at 7pm, and the time said 5pm, which gives them enough time to get ready for the game. with this, the members all agreed to wear something casual instead of just their basketball oufit. they headed back to their dorms to get ready.
when everyone was in the dorms, y/n has a small problem. she wanted to wear a shirt that says uconn.. but she doesnât have any. she wanted to feel that âschool spirit,â and a football game always brings out the fun school spirits of students.
she asked aubrey if she could borrow and luckily aubrey gave her a shirt. it was a navy blue shirt that simply said uconn at the front.
it was 6pm, just in time to go to the game venue. all the uconn players and y/n got out of their dorms and headed for the football field.
when they arrived, many people looked at the teamâs way, some screaming different names. but y/n heard a statement wherein she felt curious as to why someone has said that.
âis paige bueckers dating someone? look at that girl in navy!â
she wondered why, but shrugged it off eventually when they got into the open field. they got to their seats. y/n was beside kk, ice, q, and aubrey, while the others are in the back.
the team members at the back looked at y/n and started to laugh, teasing paige. âare you guys really dating? was the enemy thing just a stunt?â curiousity is growing on nika.
paige ignored her teammatesâ questions and comments, and decided to make fun of y/n.
âyou know y/n, at this point i just think that you have a liking for me. if not then.. why is my name and jersey number at the back of your shirt?â

masterlist
chapter 5
the previous week was hell for y/n. she got to finish interviewing all the members part of the menâs and womenâs basketball team. she plans on having study sessions with the team members starting next week. aubrey has been noticing dark circleâs under y/nâs eyes, and sheâs growing concered.
it was a saturday night, and aubrey was going out to hang with the team, when she went out of here room, she saw y/n locked in with her research. she saw a glimpse of the introduction.
university of connecticut, in short uconn, is known for many achievements in their curriculars, and especially in basketball. according to previous research, many have grown fond of basketball due to university of connecticut, with many championship titles being brought to their home at storrs.
basketball in uconn is more popular than ever. with this, the researcher aims to see the difference of the resilience of these student athletes from the basketball teams of uconn. according to..
âgirl thats dope, but you have been reviewing this introduction for the longest time. you need a break, your eyebags are telling you to do so.â aubrey said. âi just want a good grade.. so im eligible to transfer to stanford.â y/n replies nonchalantly.
âthat is true, but you need to loosen up for now y/n. you have done a lot. im hanging out with the team today, you should really come so i wouldnât have to worry about my teammate finishing cans of red bull. thats bad for you!â aubrey proposes. âi dont think i can..â y/n declines.
âim not taking no for an answer, so come into your room and put nice clothes on. i can wait for youâ aubrey drags y/n out of her chair and brings her to the girlâs room.
âfineâ
after 30 minutes, the roommates finally arrived to the destination: a steakhouse. itâs tradition for the team to eat at their favorite steakhouse at every start of the school year. the team may bring their friends and significant others to this gathering, but they all keep in mind to keep this gathering not too big and still quite intimate.
âhi y/n!!!â the team greets her, aubrey signaling her to sit beside nika and her. nika turned to y/n, and asked more personal questions about her life. they only got to talk during the interviews, and nika was genuinely willing to be friends with y/n.
they got more comfortable with each other, they found out they both liked rock climbing, building legos, and had mystery movies as their comfort movies.
while talking, one member of the team, kk, got curious. âso.. whatâs the deal between aubrey and y/n? we didnât know that y/n would be here, but donât worry boo weâre all glad youâre hereâ kk asked.
everyone except for one
âoh nooo. y/n and i arent like that. yeah weâre roommates and we got close to each other but sheâs not my type, donât even know if sheâs for the girls! i brought her here since sheâs been too deep into her research. she needs to eez downâ aubrey declined the allegation, y/n agreeing to her.
âonly answer this if your comfortable with it but.. are you for the girls?â kkâs curiousity got stronger. âoh no its fine kk! yeah i am gay, just dont have a label. but i have never had a girlfriend beforeâ y/n answered with a smile.
âOOOOH!â kk and the others exclaimed. âso what are you looking for in a partner? we could hook you up!â ice asked.
âi want my personal athletic or active, i dont know, they just have that aura. i also want my person to be quite smart.. i dont know guys its just attractive to me! and i hope theyre love language is words of affirmation. im a sucker for thatâ y/n shamefully answers.
âyou know y/n, maybe your just talking about meâ kk teased. âNOOOOâs and âEEEWWWâs were said after that, laughter all around.
after a wonderful night and dinner, it was time to head to an open basketball court. the uconn team loves to hoop after a good night out. its their only time to really have fun with their sport, no rules or anything. the steakhouse was just walking distance to the court, hence the team leaving their cars first at the parking area.
as they go into the court, y/n was smiling with the rest of the team, until she sees paige. paige gave her an eye roll, which made y/n feel quite annoyed and uncomfortable.
the rest of the team wanted to see y/n play, so she did, she was against paige, qadence, nika, and ice. y/n was having fun, but whenever she makes in contact with the ball and paige was beside her, paige kept on nudging her and slightly hitting her. paige was rough, which was not usual for her especially when they were just playing for fun.
the others felt paigeâs competitiveness, and it didnât feel right. kk calmed paige down. âpaige whats your problem? she doesnât play. that was foulâ kk asked. paige just scoffed and ignored kk. kk was for sure that paige was hiding something, and she would have to ask next time when paige is more open to talk about it.
the team decided to call it a day. while they were walking back to the parking area, paige was dribbling a basketball, and started to throw it upâ which led to another âaccident.â
the ball goes forward and hits y/n again, but this time it was on her shoulder. y/n looked back to see who threw the ball, only to see that it was the blonde once again.
âwhat the fuck is your problem?â

synopsis: with y/n being in a new environment, still facing rejection, how can she bounce back?
masterlist
chap 4
y/n pov:
okay scratch that. i would have to do all athletes. okay new research:
a comparative research on the academic resilience of students and students part of the basketball team in the university of connecticut.
much better. i can have more focus on the people in my research. and plus, the basketball teams are the most known in uconn, which could make them have different perspectives. but first.. i would have to ask their coach first. i may ask aubrey if she can bring me to their coach, his name is coach geno..?
after their training (and an hour of peyton giggling), i went up to aubrey and told her about my research.
âyeah! i could definitely ask coach geno, heâs in the other room though to get his stuff, but heâll come back soonâ aubrey replied with enthusiasm. âthats great! thanks aubrey. i would also have to ask the menâs basketball coach, but ill check tomorrow since its already lateâ i mentioned. aubrey and i got to talk a little bit more, aubrey asking me why i was even in their training the first place.
i said that peytonâs crush is in the team, which made aubrey laugh. when we both looked behind to peyton, we see her talking to azzi. smooth ass..
coach geno finally got out of the other room, and aubrey introduced me to him.
âoh coach! this is y/n, and she has a small favor to askâ aubrey says. âhello coach geno! i am a freshman taking psychology, and i wanted to ask if i could have your team to be part of my researchâ i smiled.
âwhatâs it about?â
âtheir resistancy in regards to their school work sirâ
âwill it hinder their skills?â
âno sirâ
âhow long will this take?â
âmaximum of a month i believe, but it still dependsâ
âas long as the team says yes and it wont be a distraction, then im all for it. goodluck y/n, and welcome to uconn!â coach geno replied with a small smile. âthank you sir! it means a lotâ i smiled back.
i went back to peyton, who was talking to azzi, and introduced me to her. azzi then introduced me to the other playersâ to nika, kk, paige, and caroline. i guess i still needed a formal greeting even with the event that happened yesterday.
i then proceeded to ask the whole team about my research idea, and they were all willing to help me. just needed to contact the menâs basketball team now.
after small talks, we all headed back to our dorms. i feel better with the team already, theyâre all quite playful, just have to ignore that one blonde, paige. we havenât talked a word to each other, and i wonât mind if we donât talk at all.
when we arrived to the dorms area, we all bid our goodbyes to some of the members and the others headed to the same dorm building as me. turns out that everyone that has the same dorm as me lives on the same floor as me.. this will be fun. my âfloormatesâ are nika, ashlynn, ice, kk, and paige. azzi along with caroline and the others were at another dorm building.
we all bid our goodnights, and aubrey and i went inside our dorm. we both were too tired, and got unready and head to our beds quick.
âgoodnight y/n!â
âgoodnight aubsâ
the next week
the last days were great. menâs basketball team is on board with my research, and my introduction and rrl is surprisingly done.
today, i will start to interview the womenâs basketball team, and i am thinking of doing observations with them as wellâ like having group study sessions and know their behavior and thoughts.
its now 2pm, two hours before the teamâs training, which gives me enough time to interview some people. i text aubrey saying that im near their court, and was asking who i can interview first.
aubrey: paige is free
goddamn it.
oh well, letâs just get this over with. i open the courtâs entrance, the team seeing me and greeting me.
âso, who can go first?â i ask the team, i really didnât want paige, she will just give me negative energy for the rest of the day. she is always so.. negative towards me.
âi dont think we can.. coach wants us to do 25 laps as penalty! but since paige wasnât there when the team was goofing around.. sheâs freeâ azzi explained. âwhat did you guys even do that made coach geno be in fumes?â i asked.
âteased coach about paige dating on of his children.. theyâre our age thoughâ aubrey steps in. âoh id send you guys to 25 laps as wellâ i joked. âwhatever!â azzi says.
i told paige to come with me the the bleachers, still being nonchalant.
âso where do we begin..â i hummed. i could feel that paige felt awkward
âname?â i started.
âpaige bueckersâ
âyear?â
âim a juniorâ
sheâs 2 years older than me.
âcurrent gpa?â
â3.9â
not bad.
âworkloard in school?â
âatleast 5 worksheets and 2 tests per weekâ
âcan you finish them on time?â
âdependsâ
âwhatâs your hardest subject?â
âchemistryâ
âfavorite subject?â
âanatomyâ
âokay thatâs all for now. we still have more interviews in the future, and a possible group study session with the others. thank you!â i tell paige.
âthanksâ paige coldly replies.
after an interview with aubrey, azzi, and the others, i wrapped it up, just in time for them to do their own preps before training. i was looking for a water dispenser as i was thirsty. i passed by the locker room and heard a voice.
âwhat is she even doing here? canât she do her studies somewhere else? we donât need her broâ the voice stated, which i think was pertaining to me.
âpaige, just be kind. its a freshmanâs research, you know how tough some professors are with the freshmans, they would have to give their bestâ another voice replied back.
âwhatever, letâs just get to practiceâ paige scoffs. i rolled by eyes and realized that it was my signal to go, i didnât want them to see me. i quickly got my water and got out of the court, thanking coach geno and the other members who were just sitting on the bleachers.
as i walk, i start to feel discouraged. i just want to do whatâs best for me, and a person who doesnât know me just talks bad about what im doing. i guess i just have to suck it up, i have no time for negativity anyways. just focus on being able to transfer to stanford.
uconn, your star is not-so shining to me.
- zoâs notes: hello, i hope everyone is enjoying reading my fic :)

chapter 3
oh no it is. aubreyâs new roommate is the girl paige.. you know..
âoh heyâ y/n said awkwardly. âhi! im aubrey, im sorry about earlier..â aubrey replied and apologized. âoh no itâs okay, i just got hurt and im already so tired from todayâ y/n gave her a comforting smile.
after about an hour, getting unready, aubrey and y/n meet again in the living room. both of them cant sleep, both from excitement to start a new year. they got to learn more about each other other, and they started to feel less awkward.
âoh yeah i know the girl you were with earlier, we see her often, i think shes the daughter of coachâs friendâ aubrey mentioned peyton. âah yeah she told me! shes also freshman in psychology with meâ y/n replied. âthats cool! she can bring you to our games and support us huskies!â aubrey said.
âwe will see, since i just really focus on my academics this year. plan to get high grades and transfer to stanford. got rejected but its my ultimate dreamâ y/n sighed. she then talked about stanford more and her father. aubrey comforted her, saying âim so sorry, im always here for you! reach for that goal, im sure your father is proud of you. but in the meantime, dont worry, uconns got you!â
the two got sleepy and head off to bed. y/n felt happy as she felt more relieved with choosing uconn. she closed her eyes, getting rest for the next day.
next day; first day of actual school
âyou guys will make your own research, anything about psychology, i want to see your passion and skills. research has to be done by the end of the semester, but we will have working sessions mixed with the lectures so i know you guys have progress.â the professor said.
it was y/nâs first class, and she got bombed with this? i mean yeah, she could do it, but it just suprised her as it was the first thing her professor said. and plus, what topic could she even work on?
after classes, peyton invited y/n to watch basketball training with her. y/n insisted but peyton really wanted to watch her âcrush.â y/n nodded her head, and just thought that she could use her laptop, thinking about what her research should be about.
when they went into the court, aubrey saw y/n and waved at her, paige and the others looking confused, but y/n just shrugged it off and heard aubrey explaining to her team that they are roommates. on the other hand, peyton was getting excited and pointed at azzi. âshe is sooooo pretty. ive been crushing on her ever since my dad bought me to their game. sheâs a sophomoreâ peyton exclaimed. y/n teased her for a bit, and then she pulled out her laptop.
she didnt know what topic to use, and when she heard the basketball team talk about their homework, she got an idea.
a comparative research on the academic resilience of students and student-athletes in the university of connecticut.

chapter 2
âexcuse me?â
âoooh..â the people behind the blonde teased.
peyton signaled y/n to just leave the group of girls alone, but y/n didnt. she gave the ball back with a glare. the blonde went up to her, saying sorry and that she âdidnt mean to throw the ball that hard.â
y/n just replied with a cold âassholeâ and went back to peyton and headed for the dorms. while walking back, peyton said âyou did not just do that.. like the blondie over there is uconnâs star! and nika was there too, sheâs like my girl crush you know. anyways what im saying is.. theyâre a big deal here at uconn! i always watch their games since my dadâs bestfriend with their coach.â
âi dont care im just tired, and plus she hurted me! on my first day too.â y/n retorted back. âwhatever you say y/n, letâs just focus on our actual first day tomorrow. my dorm buildings the other way. goodluck on your roomie and see you!â peyton bid her goodbyes.
meanwhile, in the uconn huskies womenâs basketball team, the blonde named paige, was complaining to her friends about the girl who she had accidentally hit. she was complaining specifically to nika, azzi, aubrey, and kk. âi canât believe it! you guys dared me to hit on her, and now ive been called an assholeâ paige said. âwe said hit on her.. as in ask for her number or flirt or somethingâ nika retorted. âyou guys didnt explain properly! we should never have truth or dare sessions while walking back to the dorms ever againâ paige further complained. âyou know youâve been talking about her for about 10 minutes now.. and you donât talk about people like that. might as well just say you find her pretty.â kk nonchalantly replied.
âno? what are you talking about? i mean yeah our height difference is cute and her eyes are pretty, and plus she smelled good, and overall shes really pretty.. i just.. NO?â paige convinced her friends.. or convincing herself.
âwhatever you say bueckers. well we are here now in the dorms guys, ill see you all tomorrowâ azzi said, rubbing her eyes from tiredness.
as they arrived to their dorms, they all lived in the same floor, everyone bid their goodbyes. goodbye everyone! oh and i get to meet my new roomie today.. wish me luck guysâ aubrey was the last one to say goodbye.
aubrey then opened her dorm room, she wasnt able to know who her roommate was as she only got to the dorms today, and her roommate probably was in either orientations or class.
âoh no..â

synopsis: with y/n being in a new environment, still facing rejection, how can she bounce back?
masterlist
chapter 1
âwe regret to inform you that..â y/nâs eyes start to tear up as she reads her rejection letter from her dream school: stanford university. she plans to take psychology, and stanford is a perfect university for her growth. the dream started ever since she was born, as her fatherâs alma mater was stanford. y/nâs father died early, and she wanted to make him proud.
âno no no no noâ y/n says in disbelief. how was she not accepted? a perfect gpa, and a 1500+ on her sat. she had good extracurriculars as well, being in the lab 24/7. her essay was proofread a thousand times as well.
the girl cried, rushing to her mom for comfort. âmom, i have bad newsâ she said. âoh honey, what is it?â the mom replied.
âi didnât get into stanford, im so sorryâ y/n teared up again, hugging her mom. âits okay, it just means that God has better plans for you in another schoool. im sure your dad is still so proud of youâ y/nâs mom comforted her.
after a night full of cries, y/n looked at her options. she is always one to plan immediately. but this one will take her awhile, as college is well, college. she opened her laptop, with the screen showing her notes app stating:
stanford: rejected
upenn: waitlisted
lsu: accepted
iowa: accepted
sdsu: accepted
ucla: waitlistedâ¨âŚ
then a notification popped: uconn application results are out. her heart started pumping, she applied to uconn as it was near, and it was her motherâs alma mater.
she opened the site, with the screen saying:
CONGRATULATIONS!
y/n smiled with joy, and the smiled widened as the school is offering her a scholarship.
after a month, she weighed her options, and went to the different schools she was accepted in for a tour. she loved sdsuâs campus, and loved the school spirit of iowa. but she loved uconn the most. a calm campus, and a great school spirit as well.
she decided to go to uconn and major in psychology. a good school, near home, and a scholarship. it was her best option. but that isnt her end plan. she plans on reaching high during her freshman year, and transfer to stanford for sophomore year.
fast forward to her first day, which was full of orientations. during lunch, she bumped into another girl. they both said their âsorryâs and realized that they were both freshmans in psychology. the girlâs name was peyton, who accompanied y/n for the rest of the day. y/n knew that peyton will be a good friend.
as they go back to their dorms, they passed the building of the basketball court. âoh my goddd! do you know the womenâs basketball team? i love them! i have a crush on one playerâ peyton mentioned. y/n wasnât really fond of basketball. âno, not really..â y/n replied.
â¨as they walk pass, the basketball team goes out of the building, still playing with a basketball. they played with the basketball a little too hard.. as the ball hit y/nâs head, making her fall down.
y/n was outrageous, who plays basketball just around? she got up and looked behind who threw the ball. she saw 5 people, 5 tall people, and got eye contact with a blonde who she assumed threw the ball.
âexcuse me?â
