Thread: Games
WHO: Aika and Haylie
WHEN: January 7th
WHERE: School Gym/Basketball court

Feeling more and more comfortable in her skin, Haylie strutted across the gym floor in her short shorts and tank top with the basketball making steady thumps on the court as she moved. It was winter, that meant she was raking in the dough on her Fantasy Football League and also that she was more interested in playing games inside than taking to the field for some soccer. Basketball was a dumb sport, but it was better than sitting around all through break. The trip to Australia had been amazing and was something she'd never forget, especially seeing Fred in a swimsuit at night, but the last winding hours of winter break were closing in around her like a cordon cutting off her fun.

The dribbling of the ball was done with easy skill, a sign that this wasn't the first time she'd held the ball. She lined up in the paint and took a shot, swishing the ball through the net. As it came down, Haylie caught it and ran with it, dribbling over to the outer ring to make a three point attempt. It missed and she jogged after it, looking up to spot a face she hadn't seen around in the gym before. Damn. Haylie admired the Asian girl for a few minutes, trying to not be obvious about it, but she was a teenager and teenagers had hormones. The other students in the gym were playing their own games, but Haylie had the whole half of the court to herself to shoot on. Deciding she'd go out on a limb with this hottie, Haylie called out to her.

"Hey! Catch!" With a chest throw, Haylie tossed Aika the ball. "Don't just sit there. Come and play me."

The winter holiday had been a bit lonely for Aika. Still one of the new kids, she really hadn't found her group of friends yet. She was a bit shy when it came to talking to people. Add to that the fact that she was feeling homesick for California in all of this winter weather, and she hadn't been going out much. Today thought, she was going to try. Maybe she'd do some dancing, or just try to see what people were playing and doing in the gym.

Slipping into a pair of black sweats and a dark red tank top with a jacket over, Aika pulled her hair back and into a high ponytail before heading out. It was a bit chilly walking from the dorms, but it also felt nice to be out rather than moping. Getting to the gym, she was surprised at all the people around either playing sports or just hanging out.

Aika looked around at the people playing and took notice of a rather cute girl on the basketball court. She was surprised when said attractive girl tossed the ball over to her. Catching the ball, she looked over and gave a small shrug. Why not? "Alright, but be warned, you're probably going to have an easy win." She grinned as she slid her jacket off and moved to dribble the ball as she walked over. She wasn't terrible, but she'd only ever really played on the school yard or in PE. "So, one on one?"

"You can't be that bad. I'll go easy on you." Haylie promised with a chuckle and watched the girl move onto the court. "You're Aika, right? I'm Haylie. Official meeting and everything."

Haylie leaned over, hands braced on her knees, and watched Aika with the ball while she guarded the net. Haylie was glad to see that Aika at least knew how to dribble. This would be a fast game indeed if the asian girl had bounced the ball off her own feet first thing. Hand-eye coordination was a good skill to have. "First one to six points wins?"

"Ouch. You probably have to." She grinned as she was a bit proud of herself for not looking like a complete idiot in front of the girl.

"First one to six points wins." She agreed as she moved to start towards the basket. Aika had her natural athletic ability to her advantage. She was a dancer so she was lithe and able to move, but when she tried to shoot, it was terrible. She shot off to the far left, swearing softly as it didnt even come close to the basket.

"Watch you be some basket ball prodigy and stomp my ass." Haylie laughed, and then had to dodge to the side to follow Aika's moves. It was pretty easy to tell the difference between someone who just needed more practice and had natural talent for athletics and someone who was just a lost cause. Haylie was glad to see that Aika was not a lost cause or a graceless sack of potatoes.

That shot, though. It needed serious work.

Haylie jogged after the ball, bringing it back onto the court. "You're not bad. I mean, yeah, you missed by a mile, but you just gotta follow through. Like this." Haylie turned to the basket and hopped up, releasing the ball in a smooth flowing motion with her hands that sent it in a soft spin to swish into the net. "See? All in the wrist."

Grinning smugly, trying to show off but not look like she was trying, Haylie passed Aika the ball again. "Try it again. I'll give you a free shot."

"I wish." She laughed as well and shook her head. She wanted to be good though, impress the pretty girl that was playing with her. So of course, she threw a rock right at the basket. Color was already rising her cheeks as Haylie ran to grab the ball.

She watched the other girl and gave a small clap at the basket. She was good! "I'm not sure if I can follow through like that." Aika took the ball and tried to have the same grip on it that Haylie did. "Like this?"

"Like this." Haylie came closer to Aika and took her hands, moving them on the ball to have one on the side and one underneath. "When you release, you roll it off your fingers, like this." Demonstrating with her own empty hand, Haylie glanced up at Aika's face to see if she was getting it. She grinned.

"Alright, all you. Do me proud." Leaning forward, Haylie braced her hands on her knees and bunched her basketball shorts into her hands. It was an old habit she'd done as a boy that dried the sweat off her palms. Haylie was a little perturbed to find that her shorts didn't reach all the way to her knees. She settled instead for just leaning forward with hands braced and watched Aika. Perfect excuse to check her out.

Feeling the other girls taking her hands earned a light blush. This close, she had to admit that the girl was attractive. It took her a second to realize that she was showing her how to actually throw and prayed that she got it.

"Alright..." She said, feeling nervous as she took the ball in hand, feeling the way it fit in her small hands. Taking a slow deep breath, she did exactly as Haylie told her and shot the ball. This time it actually hit the basket, but just bounced off the rim. Close, but not perfect. "Almost got it." She said sheepishly.

"That was good!" Haylie approved, clapping her hands with a grin before she jogged over to catch the ball. "Go again, this time I'll guard you."

Haylie sent the ball back to Aika with a bounce pass and then came up in front of her to guard. Haylie couldn't help her wandering gaze that drifted down to Aika's chest. So sue her, she liked breasts. And Aika had some nice ones. Not too big, not too small, and entirely too hidden behind her shirt. Maybe later they could go to the locker room and...

Haylie stopped that train of thought right there and told herself to get a grip. It was bad enough she felt completely out of place in the locker room as it was. Any of her guy friends back in Seattle would die for the chance to be able to walk through the girls locker room with immunity. Haylie was far too self conscious of her own feminine naked body to have time to check out the scenery.

Aika was actually surprised and rather excited that she had gotten so close. Sure she'd played with friends before, but she'd never been a good shot. It seemed to be because she was doing it all wrong.

'Alright. Let's see if I can do this." She grinned and took he ball, trying to ignore just how close Haylie was to her. The girl was good at being distracting. She did catch half a glance of where her eyes were directed and her smiled widened. Maybe she wasn't the only one checking the other out a bit.

Biting her bottom lip in decided concentration, she began to dribble the ball before trying to nudge past Haylie and shoot again. Since she was closer than before, it looked like it might go in!

It looked like it might go in! But Haylie stepped in front of Aika's easy shot and blocked it, hands up in the air, palms out, a totally credible block to any referee who wanted to be a stickler for the rules. Aika's shot missed and Haylie swiped the ball, dribbling to half court and then back in with a smirk.

"Sorry. I said I'd go easy. Habit to want to win." At the top of the key she took a shot of her own, making an easy half jump with a roll of follow through off her fingers and the ball swooshed through the net.

"Maybe we should do something we're both familiar with," Haylie suggested with a somewhat apologetic look. There was a joking teasing undertone. "I mean, I just don't want your feelings to get hurt or anything."

Aika gasped out and pouted playfully when her basket was blocked. "Oh see, now you're just being evil." She grinned at Haylie and jogged over to grab the back and bring it back.

"Nah, Now I'm determined to at least make one basket with you trying to stop me." She stuck her tongue out at the other girl when she said she didn't want to hurt Akia's feelings. "Plus, you'll be the one hurting in the end." She moved to dribble again, trying to figure out just how she could get around the other girl. Maybe she should just 'bump' into her? It would be a great excuse to get close too.

Haylie laughed, surprised and pleased to see the attitude flare up in Aika. That was pretty hot. Haylie liked competitive girls who could keep up with the banter, even if they weren't super great at the sport. "Big talker! Alright, let's go!"

As Aika dribbled again and got closer to the basket, Haylie came in to guard her, hands out, leaning forward. Her hand "accidentally" slipped and touched Aika's ass, just grazing the fabric of her shorts.

"Whoops, my bad." She grinned. "You going to take a shot or we gonna be here all day?"

Akia grinned and began to dribble, trying to get around Haylie, thinking about just how easy it looked on tv. Why couldn't her powers make her able to just do that? Nope, she could sit in the middle of a bon fire instead.

She was about to say something when she felt the hand graze her ass and jumped slightly. The comment and grin only showed that it was on purpose. "I don't know. I kind of like it here." Aika grinned and moved to try to bump into Haylie first before tossing it up and into the air, praying that it made it this time.
