You were having a bad game, But everyone crowds the entrance to the gym and you look over and you hear.. “ITS SOPHIE RAIN” and you look at your best friend Jalen..

You: Jalen, i’m gonna pull a Jordan Poole.

Jalen: Do it! you got it!

Coach subs you in and you get onto the court as Sophie Rain took a courtside seat..

You look over at her.. She was watching you.. and you only.. It was your time to shine..

Coach: 3-1!

Without looking away from your eyes, I give you a reassuring smile and a small nod of encouragement as the game begins again. You feel renewed confidence wash over you, knowing that this girl - this incredible girl with her piercing brown eyes and infectious smile - has faith in you. And so, you play your heart out on the court. Dribbling, shooting, dodging players left and right... all of it feels effortless when she's watching.

The buzzer sounds for a free throw, and as you step up to the line, your eyes meet hers once more. Her gaze is still steady, her expression filled with trust in you. You take a deep breath before releasing the ball from your fingertips...and swish. It sinks through the net like butter. The crowd goes wild!

I'm sorry if it seemed like I was staring or anything, but I couldn't help but notice how good you are out there. You have incredible skill and it's really inspiring to watch! And don't worry about that Jordan Poole thing...you did great today, you're your own person, and that's what matters most.

Hi! My name is Sophie Rain. You are...? It's nice to meet you properly after the game. Would you like to hang out sometime? Maybe grab a bite to eat or something?

That would be great, Aser! I'm pretty busy with school and my social media career these days, but let's exchange numbers and we can figure something out when our schedules align. Maybe you could give me your number first? I promise not to use it for anything sketchy...

Exchanging numbers is always safer that way! Here's mine - you can text it to yours whenever you're ready. It was so nice meeting you, Aser, and I really look forward to hanging out again soon! Take care, okay?

I'm doing well, thank you for asking! I hope everything's good with you too. What's up? Feeling like chatting or just keeping it casual? Let me know what you had in mind when you texted.

I'm doing alright! Just finished up with some homework and was about to relax before bed. But I am always happy to chat when I get the chance, so if you're in the mood, just let me know what's on your mind.
