Lessons in Love... and Basketball

Chapter 1

It was early in the evening and Rainbow High had a basketball game against its rival school, Arendelle High. The crowd was raucous and rowdy as they watched the girls travel up and down the basketball court, their cheers for their respective teams filling the school's gymnasium. Every girl out on the court was doing their absolute best to provide a win for their respective team. One girl just happened to be a little off, though...

Anna's stomach fluttered with butterflies. She traveled down the court dribbling the orange ball scouting a teammate to pass it to. She found an opening and passed the ball to her teammate, her best friend and captain of the Rainbow High women's basketball team, Rapunzel. Rapunzel successfully caught the ball and began dribbling it down the court. Anna's mind was distracted. She wasn't able to stay focused. This was an important game - at least it was to her -and she wanted to win.

She's just so damn beautiful, though, Anna thought.

On the opposing team was a young woman with long, blonde hair that was put up in a ponytail. Her hair bounced across her back from one shoulder to the other as she ran and guarded Anna's teammates. She stood a little taller than Anna and her eyes were vibrant; they sparkled and they were blue like her uniform. Any chance Anna got to look at this mysterious, opposing player she took it. And, every chance she took at looking at this woman the butterflies would return.

Anna shook her head trying to clear her mind. Come on, Anna, focus! Focus! You need to win! This game is important. Forget about that girl in blue... and her wonderful, blonde ponytail that sways across her back like the hair of a goddess... and those beautiful blue eyes that sparkle like the stars spread across the calm waters of the ocean... and those toned legs that go for miles... and those glorious boobs... oh, God, those boobs...!

Anna shook her head again while still running. Coming out of her thoughts she realized another one of her teammates had the ball now and she was looking for someone to pass it to. Anna was wide open.

STOP IT! FOCUS!

"Here," Anna shouted.

Anna's teammate passed her the ball and she caught it. She traveled down the court dribbling the ball and avoiding opposing team players. She darted and dodged out of the way. She used all of the strength in her legs to lift herself high in the air and then she let the ball fly. It soared through the air as if was graced with wings. As Anna's feet returned to the gymnasium floor beneath her the ball hit the backboard and fell in the hoop. The Rainbow High crowd roared!

Hell yes, Anna thought excitedly. Now I'm back in the game!

Anna's teammate took the ball and she turned and made her way back down the court. The mysterious girl ran passed her and as quickly as she was brought back in to the game she was out of it again. Anna watched her legs tighten with every step the blonde took. Her eyes quickly found their way staring at the rear of the beautiful, blonde goddess on the opposing team. Anna's heart fluttered. "Oh..." she cooed to herself.

Anna shook her head. She clapped her hands together and ran towards her teammates. One of them passed the ball, but an opposing team player was about to intervene and steal it away. Wanting to win, and using every ounce of willpower in her body and soul to make sure of it, Anna leapt in to the air and extended her arm. Before she could grab the ball though, she realized that the opposing team player that was about to grab it was the girl she had been drooling over. My goddess, Anna thought in a flash. Their bodies collided and the young, blonde woman toppled to the floor.

Anna came down hard and she witnessed the opposing blonde player lying on the floor. For once in her life she thought at the speed of light. This is my chance! THIS IS MY CHANCE! It's a happy accident! Anna was about to fall forward but managed to pivot herself just in time so she landed directly on top of the blonde player completely forgetting about the basketball and the game itself. Her hands opened and with what little sophisticated grace she had she landed them directly on to the blonde's breasts.

Oh, these are nice...

One of the referees blew their whistle. The blonde player immediately smiled when she noticed Anna's hands on her breasts. Anna caught the blonde's smile and blushed and smiled in return. Her heart was fluttering uncontrollably in her chest. Their eyes met and Anna felt completely in sync with the other player. She felt as if they were the only two in the entire gymnasium and it caused Anna's smile to stretch from one ear to the other.

The blonde player lifted an arm and for a split second Anna actually thought she was going to react by touching her breast in return. She was met with disappointment when the blonde's hand went passed her chest and to her shoulder. Anna never faltered her smile, though.

As Anna stood to her feet she helped up the opposing player. She noticed a blush filling her cheeks. She is so freaking adorable! I just want to kiss those rosy cheeks! Hell, I want to kiss those thin lips!

Alas, it was only a dream as the game soon resumed. Anna had thought her one chance to get up close and personal with the beautiful blonde had come and gone. What she hadn't expected was the assault of flashy glances and subtle flirting coming from the blonde throughout the rest of the game.

Once the game had finished Anna stood in her sweaty, yellow uniform and a large bag hanging from her grip. Her parents had praised her on her effort even though they lost the game and told her they'd be waiting in the car. She was about to leave the school gymnasium when she heard a voice call out to her.

"Hey, wait up!"

Anna turned around. Her eyes widened when she caught sight of the attractive blonde calling for her. Butterflies returned to her stomach. Anna looked behind her to make sure she wasn't calling for someone else. The blonde giggled when she caught up with Anna. Anna's goddess pointed at her. "You! I'm talking to you!"

"Oh," Anna said nervously as she tucked a strand of strawberry blonde hair behind her ear. "Uh, h-hi," Anna stammered.

The blonde only smiled. As she stared in to Anna's eyes she brought her lower lip up under her top teeth. A blush filled her cheeks. "That was a fun game," she said with a glimmer in her eyes. "I didn't realize we were playing baseball, though."

Anna furrowed her brow. "Uh, what...? What do you mean?" Anna was legitimately confused.

The blonde stepped forward and nudged Anna's shoulder with a closed fist. "You know, you made it to second base."

Anna immediately knew what she was referring to. Her face turned bright red. The blonde doubled over in laughter at Anna's embarrassment. "Oh, oh," Anna panicked, "I-I-I d-didn't mean... uh, um... I didn't-"

"It's okay," the blonde laughed. "I actually kind of, sort of enjoyed it..." Anna noticed the blonde's cheeks filling with a slight blush.

Anna felt her heart slow down to a normal beat. She... enjoyed it? "You... enjoyed it?"

The blonde nodded her head slowly keeping eye contact with Anna. "Of course, you can't take second base without taking me to dinner..."

Anna perked up. She wants to go to dinner? She wants to go to dinner! Her eyes widened and her lips curved up. She stumbled on her words. "Oh, uh, uh, uh, of-of course! I'd love to take me to dinner! I mean, I'd love for you to go to dinner. Damn it! I want to take you to dinner!"

The blonde giggled at Anna's nervous excitement. "It's a date, then." The blonde grabbed Anna's wrist and wrote her number down on her forearm with a pen she had pulled out of her bag. "This is my number. Call it." She smiled at Anna and winked at her. She proceeded to strut out of the arena, confidently, holding her bag.

Anna stared down at the number. I can't believe I got her number. I can't believe I have a date! She examined the number. Oh, shit, I don't have her name. Anna shifted her eyes in panic. I don't have her name!

Anna turned and bolted out of the arena. "Hey! What's your name?!"
