While Ryan and Evan were still dazed. Remi finally struggled free from their hold
Damn Natalie really does like me? Remi thought, his heart racing with eargement
Even more full of himself now, he quickly shoved past the two and said Sure Natale dose
Natalie shot him a look “Thanks, but this isn’t just a regular game
As she spoke, her eyes slid past Remi and landed on Arianna, who was hunched over the long able sorting sign–up sheets.
“You re the captain, so everyone listens to you. That’s why I want to challenge you

Natalie asked. “Who’s starting‘ Me or you‘
Remi grinned and tossed her the ball You start Ladies first
Natalie caught the ball, dribbled it twice and took her position behind the three point toe
She glanced at the hoop, then back at Rew
Rem was already crouched low in a defensive stance arms spread wide eyes locked on her
He was dead serious, no messing around

The chatter on the sidelines kept going, buzzing like a swarm of bees
“Can she even play?”
“No idea, but she sure looks like she knows what she’s doing.
“Even if she can, so what? Remi is the star of the team. Last year he averaged twenty points a game in the state College league. She’s a girl; if she scores five, that’s already impressive.”
“I don’t know, just look at her. She doesn’t look like a newbie to me.”
“Swagger doesn’t score points. Remi is like 6’1“, she’s barely over 57 She’s got a big height disadvantage How she cappemand to stop him?”
