Author's note: Hey! This is my first attempt at posting here. These are going to be short one-shots each chapter. Please let me know what you guys think!

This first one is Piper attending Alex's varsity basketball games.

You watch all her games.

The way she handles the ball like a feather.

How she shoots it with the grace of a dove taking flight.

Her sweat trickling down her forehead to the base of her neck, under the navy jersey that she wears like a second skin.

You inhale deeply and clench your fists - and another part southward - when she takes a sip of water, pouring the rest down her head.

She lifts her head, scanning her eyes through the crowd for you.

Your eyes meet.

Suddenly, there is a whole new ball game waiting to be played.
