Jamie and Misty By Chris

Jamie and Misty were at the podium receiving the State High School Basketball Co-Player of the Year Award. While they both had a smile on their respective faces, it was a force smile at best. If there was one person in the world they each hated, it was very simply - each other. To know why, you would have to know their history.

The hatred started when they both were in the eight grade and playing for the district championship. They both played the shooting guard for the two opposing teams and as luck would have it they ended up having to guard each other. As the game went on the play got a little rougher and they were both doing everything they could to take the other out of the game including fouling hard or throwing an elbow when the referees was not looking. When the game was over, and both teams went to shake hands, Jamie and Misty just snarled as they passed.

They went on to high school where they both made the varsity squad as freshman. They played in the same district so their teams played twice during the year and then again in the district and state championships. It was a wonder that they did not come to blows during any of the games but they both knew that they were the main player for their respective teams, and without them, their team would not win. Their teams always ended up swapping victories. If one team won the first regular season game then the other team won the second. One-year one team would win the district and state championship then the next year the other team won both. So at the end of their careers they both ended up with two district championships and two state championships. They also ended up with one and a half player of the year awards. Jamie won it her sophomore year barely edging out Misty. Then Misty barely edge out Jamie their junior year. It was in their senior year that they had to share it.

They were recruited by most of the major colleges but they each wanted to go to the state university. The university was known for winning national championships and they both wanted to be the person who brought them a few more. The coach was well respected for bringing out the best in her players. She was rough on them but they all ended up loving her because they respected what she had done for the school and what she did for them as players. But most of all the players knew no matter how hard she was on them; they knew she cared about them. Well Jamie and Misty waited each other out wanting to see where the other would sign. Misty finally announced that she would announce her decision on the 15th; well Jamie did her one better and announced that she would make her decision on the 14th. This of course pissed Misty off big time. The 14th came and Jamie stated that she would sign with the state university. This left Misty with a problem, as she sure as hell did not want to be teammates with Jamie. She thought about it all night and in the morning, she decided to go to where her heart told her so she also signed with the state university.

The coach knew the history of these two girls as she always did her homework, so she knew she had a potential problem on her hands. But she also knew that if she could get these two girls working together there was no team in the nation that could stop them.

Jamie arrived for summer school hoping to get a step up on Misty but she found out the Misty had showed up the previous day. Jamie was disappointed but decided to make the best of the situation. There were not a lot of girls staying over the summer in the girl's athletic dorm so they both got a room to themselves. The two captains Karen the senior point guard and Isabella a junior forward re-introduced them to the rest of the team. Both girls had met everyone while they were being recruited but the captains wanted officially welcome them to the team. There was Jasmine a 6'4" center. She was a little on the thin side but was a whole lot stronger than people realized. Next came Destiny the other center. She was also 6' 4' but she was solid rock. She was the enforcer of the two centers. Then came the two forwards Jordan and Makayla. Next was Kaylee who was the back up point guard and then Jade the two-guard who was the defensive expert. Misty and Jamie were the only two girls signed that year so Karen informed them that since these were informal practices there would be no student managers available to help set up everything. Since they were the two new members, those duties would fall to them. Karen told them this was the right of passage for all the new players and they all had to do it. They did not say a word to each other as they went to work. When the rest of the team got to the court, the two freshmen handed out the balls. They were then made to stand under the basketball goal and throw back the basketballs to the rest of the team as they shot. They were being put in their place and they both knew it. Only at the end of the shoot around, where they allowed to shoot. They both tried to impress their teammates but even more they wanted show each other up. They only problem were that they were nearly equal in talent so what one could do the other could do just as well. After the shoot around, the captains showed them their normal warm up exercises that the team went through before practice. This was a new experience for both of them as they were use to leading but now they were the followers. Once everyone was warmed up, they were divided into groups by positions with the guards practicing together as were the forwards and centers. Jamie was pitted against Karen and Misty against Jade.

They started slowly as the two upper classmen showed the new girls some of their plays and where they are suppose to go. This went on for about an hour then they started to play some two on two. The first shot that Jamie put up was stuffed back into her face and she was thus was welcomed to major college basketball. Misty wanted to laugh out loud but she kept her mouth shut, which was a good thing since her third shot was knocked out of bounds. The girls were then instructed as to why they got their shots blocked. These were not the only shoots that they were blocked but they began to learn when to shoot and when to pass. At the end of practice, they divided for some five on five. Misty and Jamie were on opposite sides but they did not guard each other this time. The game would be stopped from time to time so that the captains could holler at someone who had screwed up, which was for the most part, was either Misty or Jamie. When the game ended each captain made it a point to befriend the freshmen making sure they realized that they had to be hard on them because when practice started for real with Coach Lou watching then she would be hollering a whole lot more. The girls then realized that while high school was fun, major college basketball was work.

Through out the summer there was an informal practice at least three days a week and when they did not practice as a team then Karen expected you to practice with a teammate for at least an hour or so. Needless to say, Jamie and Misty did not choose to practice with each other. They made it through the summer without much contact or communication and this was passed on to the coach. There was nothing that went on with her team that she did not know. She could not hold a practice but she could keep up with everyone progress. This was the captains' job and the team knew and expected it.

When Misty and Jamie returned after the short break between the summer and fall semesters they found that they did not get to room with whom they had requested. Jamie walked into the dorm room to find Misty sitting on one of the beds.

"What the hell are you doing in my room? I put in to room with Josie this semester."

"Well I put in to room with Diane. I damn well did not put in for you."

"Well I'm going to put an end to this. I am going to talk to Karen about getting me a new roommate."

"I already have and she said I was stuck with you."

"Then I am going to Coach Lou about this, I am not rooming with you all year. There ain't no fucking way."

"You are more than welcome to try but Karen told me that us rooming together was decided by Coach Lou so I think we are stuck with each other."

"Fuck! I don't like this shit at all. I will tell you one thing. I am not spending every night with the likes of you."

"Well the feeling is mutual."

"Ok, then we will come up with a system. We will take turns spending the evening in the room. You can have the room until 11 tonight. Tomorrow night I get it till 11, that way we will only have spend a limited amount of time with each other."

What Jamie did not tell Misty was that she had planned on going out with some of the other players that evening so she had not planned on being in the room anyway.

"I guess I can live with that but I noticed you gave me the first night here when there are no classes yet."

"So sue me." Jamie said as she turned and walked out the door.

Misty threw her a bird as soon as Jamie turned around. Misty unpacked her stuff then went out herself, but with a plan in mind. She went to a local discount store and bought everything she thought a sweet, cheery, up-class sorority girl would decorate her room with. When she finished putting the shit up, she stepped back, looked at what was now on her wall, and let out a groan. Misty now satisfied that she would piss Jamie off, when out to find a basketball game she could join. Jamie woke up the next morning and when she saw what Misty had done, she let out a loud "What the fuck!" Misty hid her head under the sheet so Jamie would not see the shit-eating grin on her face.

The week after classes got started back, Karen had them back to their informal practices. The coaches were now allowed a limited amount of one on one coaching. Here Jamie and Misty got their first taste of the Coach Lou. They did not realize it at the time but after years of coaching young women, Coach Lou had long since learned when to holler and when to hug the girls. After each practice, Coach Lou made sure that she talked one on one with the girls getting to know them and letting them get to know her. It was here that she bonded with her players and let them tell them any problems they were having.

As the semester went along the tension built up between the two girls. All the pressures of school, homesickness, and trying to learn a new system were channeled onto each other. Even the limited amount of time they had to spend together in the dorm room was getting more than each girl could stand. They got to the point where even the sight of the other one made them sick. Everyone on the team saw what was happening as well as the assistant coaches. They all wondered when Coach Lou was going to put her foot down but she did nothing.

At the end of October, the team started real practices. The first week they practiced two hours each evening and that first week was always the hardest. The coaches bore down hard on everyone, especially Jamie and Misty. They seemed to catch hell at almost every practice. Both girls were at their breaking point and everyone saw it coming. During the Friday afternoon practice, Misty fouled Jamie hard and Jamie got pissed. She started to say something but she saw Coach Lou watching her so she kept the anger inside.

After the practice, the team slowly made their way back to the locker-room. Jamie slipped in behind Misty as she had revenge on her mind. As Misty stepped into the locker room Jamie put her foot out and tripped her.

"You fucking bitch! You did that on purpose." Misty spat out.

Jamie shouted back "You fouled me on purpose you fucking whore!"

Misty flung herself from the floor in a flash and was at Jamie. Misty threw a right that caught Jamie on the side of the head. This caused Jamie to stumbled back, but she came right back with a right of her own that bounced off Misty's shoulder. The fight that had been in the building stage for years was finally on. When the rest of the team looked around the two girls were throwing punches left and right. Some missed but most were making contact somewhere. Karen and Isabella jumped between them and got them separated just as Coach Lou stormed into the locker room.

"What the hell is going on in here?" No one had ever heard the coach cuss so everyone knew she was pissed. No one answered until Karen spoke up.

"It is not problem, just a little misunderstanding. We will take care of it."

"Well if you were taking care of it, then these two children would not be fighting. Now would they?"

No one said a word as Coach Lou made eye contact with every player making them all look away from her scornful eyes. She left Misty and Jamie for last. When they saw the look in her eyes, they knew they were in deep shit.

"So it looks like we have a couple of girls that have a lot of excess energy. I must not have practiced them hard enough today. Let's go you two. I think you both have some lines to run. Maybe then you will be too tired to fight."

Misty and Jamie gave each other a look that said, "See what you got us into."

When they got back to the court Coach Lou put them on the base line and simply said, "Start running." Running the lines meant that you started at the baseline and went to the free-throw line and touched the line. You returned to the base line and went to the half court line and back. You then went to the far free-throw line and back and finally to the far base line and back. When you finished you started again, never stopping until the Coach Lou blew her whistle. Even through they were tired from practice the fight had boasted their energy level and for the first five minutes they ran without any problems but then their pace slowed considerably. Coach Lou made them run for ten minutes straight before giving them a two-minute break. The trainer had set out a couple of water bottles for them to drink. It had been a number of years since the trainer had seen Coach Lou have to use this punishment on a player but she knew the routine. They had a prearranged signal set up so that when the player or players had gone as far as they could the trainer would signal Coach Lou and she would end that part of the punishment.

After two minutes, Coach Lou blew her whistle and the girls started running again. After another ten minutes of running, Misty fell and slid across the floor. "Help her up!" Coach Lou hollered at Jamie and while she hated helping Misty do anything, she knew better than to cross the coach when she was this mad. Jamie was thankful for the rest and was glad that Misty showed signs of giving out first. They ran another five minutes before the coach gave them a break. This one was three minutes before they heard the whistle blow again and they both groaned but started running. Their legs began to feel like lead and it was all they could do to keep running but they ran on. The pace was more of a trot than run but that is all the energy the girls had left in their tanks. About ten minutes into the run, Misty told Jamie that it was her turn to fall. Jamie looked at her and then realized what Misty was doing and she had to smile in spite of herself. When they got to half court, Jamie fell. Misty did not realize that in the empty arena, her voice had carried and Coach Lou heard what she had said to Jamie. But Coach Lou did not say anything as it was the first sign that they could work together. She of course hollered for Misty to help Jamie up and she did somewhat slowly. They ran another five minutes before they got another rest. Coach Lou looked at the trainer who signaled ten more minutes' max. Jamie and Misty were sucking air big time trying to fill their lungs with oxygen. Their sides were splitting and they just knew they were going to die any second now.

Coach Lou blew the whistle and they started running again. Both of the girls were soaked in sweat and every part of their bodies hurt. The next ten minutes went on for what seemed like hours but finally Coach Lou blew the whistle when they were at the opposite end of the court. As they walked back Misty whispered to Jamie, "Oh God, I am about to die."

"Me too." Was Jamie's reply.

"You both are suspended from tomorrow mornings practice and I want to see you both in my office at eleven." Coach Lou stated as she gave them her famous stare that sent shivers down their backs. She then stocked off like someone that was mad at the world and was just waiting for someone to cross her. Coach Lou looked and saw the rest of the team trying to hide from her view from where they were watching in the stands. She knew they had been there watching the whole time and while she could have made them leave she knew this would be a good lesson for them as well as Jamie and Misty.

The trainer helped the girls back to the locker room and made them lay down as they sipped some water that was heavy in electrolytes. They both got a good rub down before heading back to their dorm room. They did not talk but they did walk together. Neither was really quite sure she could make it back without collapsing, so walking together was really a matter of survival. Once back in the dorm they fell onto their beds and fell asleep. They failed to lock the door so Karen did not have to use her key to check on them. She woke them both up a couple of times during the afternoon and evening to make them drink more water. At about three am, Misty woke up got another drink and she saw Jamie sleeping. As much as she hated to, she woke Jamie up and made her drink.

Jamie woke up at eight and as she moved to get out of bed every muscle in her body screamed. She felt muscles she did not know had. She took a long warm shower trying to work some of the soreness out. When she got out of the shower, she found Misty waiting for the bathroom. Jamie saw that Misty looked as sore and stiff as she was. No words were spoken as they passed. When Misty got out of the bathroom, she found that Jamie had already left. She finished getting ready and went to the cafeteria. There she found Jamie eating alone. Misty got her food and thought about joining Jamie but she was not ready to talk to her quite yet.

After breakfast, Misty took a long stroll around the campus thinking about the practice that was currently going on and that being a freshman she could ill afford to miss. She thought a few minutes about how much she hated Jamie for the way everything had gone wrong and how miserable her time had been here. But then she thought about everything a little deeper as she turned it over in her mind. Slowly she began to realize that it was not just Jamie's fault that everything had gone wrong, she was just as responsible. She knew the feud had to end today, someway, somehow. What she did not know was that Jamie was walking, thinking, and coming to about the same conclusion.

They both arrived at Coach Lou's office at about the same time and her secretary had them sit and wait as practice was running a little late. This was unusual as Coach Lou started and ended everything on the dot. She also expected her players to always be on time so she made sure she was never late for anything to set the example. About five minutes later Coach Lou walked in.

"Well children come on in."

Being called children made them both cringe. They both had spent eighteen years trying to become adults and when they thought they had gotten there, one of the people they most respected was addressing them as children.

Coach Lou had them sit in the chairs set in front of her desk. She said nothing letting the silence fill the room putting a little fear into her player's hearts. Finally, she got up and went to the door.

"I want you both to come with me and see something."

As they got close to the basketball court, the girls heard a lot feet hitting the floor. Jamie looked at Misty asking her a question she feared she already knew the answer to. They came out about mid lever of the arena. The girls looked down to see the rest of the team running the lines. They watched a minute or two with no one saying a word. Finally, Jamie spoke up.

"Why are you punishing them? They didn't do anything. Misty and I are the only one who screwed up."

"I am not punishing them. They are punishing themselves."

Coach Lou looked over at her two freshmen letting them digest that bit of news.

"Karen and Isabella told me after practice that they felt like they failed the team for not talking to you two about your ongoing feud. Or coming to me to get advice on how to handle the situation. I agreed with them that they did fail the team and both of you. I left their punishment in their hands to punish themselves as they saw fit. The rest of the team then stepped up saying they also saw what was going on and did nothing about it so they also should be punished so they joined Karen and Isabella in whatever punishment that the captains decided was appropriate. One more thing before we go back to my office. I want you two to look down there. You know what you are seeing?'

Neither of the girls answered.

" I will tell you since I don't think either of you know what it is. That ladies is a team!"

Coach Lou turned sharply and headed back to her office. Misty turned her head away and felt the tears coming to her eyes. She avoided Jamie's eyes as they followed the Coach. When they were all seated Coach Lou put a box of tissues on the front of her desk. Neither of the girls took one.

"Come on, you are both crying so take one and lets get this settled."

Misty looked over at Jamie who was looking back at her and they found that Coach Lou was right. They both had tears streaming down their faces. They each took a couple of tissues and blew their noses and wipe the tears from their eyes. Coach Lou let them get their composure back before she began.

"I sure would love to hear what either of you would have to say about what happened between you two yesterday. Do either one of you have a good reason as to why you were fighting?"

Both girls remained silent.

"That is what I thought. Well I have a few things to say. I brought you both in here knowing your history together. I thought that you were both mature enough to handle the situation but I was wrong, wasn't I?"

Again Misty and Janie remained silent each squirming in their seat not wanting to hear what they knew they were about to hear.

"When you did not come to terms with each other during summer school I decided that maybe rooming together would bring about a change in attitude but I see that did not work. You both had plenty of opportunities to talk to the assistant coaches or me but again you did not choose to do that either. All you had to do was come to me and we would have talked about it. When Jasmine and Destiny came here, for some reason they had an immediate dislike for each other. They, like you, were competing for the same position and playing time. But instead of fighting they came to me and we talked both individually and then we talked together. I did not ask them to become best friends or even like each other but I did make it clear that they had to get along. By talking, we were able to come to an understanding. They still don't like each other but during practice and during the game they are there for each other. They both have a different role on the team and they understand that. Most important they understand what it takes to win and they are willing to pay that price. But you did not take that route so that leaves me to wonder if either of you are capable of being team players, because if we do not work together as a team then we are nothing. Being a team means that all ten players are working together. If we don't all work together and become a team, we have no chance to win the conference much less the national championship. Like I said, I do not expect you to be best friends but I do expect you to respect each other. I will tell you now that if you do not work this out then you both will be sitting on the bench by me for the next four years. I don't think either of you came here just to sit beside of me, did you?"

"No Mam" They both replied.

"I am going to give you both one more chance. Do you want to talk about it now or do you want to try to work it out yourselves first?"

Misty looked over at Jamie then she spoke.

"I can't speak for Jamie but I want to try to work it out ourselves first then come to you if we can't."

"Jamie?"

"I want to try to work it out ourselves first."

"Ok we will give it a try but remember that you have eight other players to talk to as well as two assistant coaches and myself to help you. All you have to do is ask."

"Yes Mam." They replied.

"You can go then."

Jamie got up to leave then stopped.

"Coach, can we come back to practice Monday afternoon?"

"That will up to the rest of the team. If you can come to some sort of understanding and can convince the team that you have worked it out then they may let you back, but it will be up to them."

"Okay" they replied in unison and they left Coach Lou's office. Once outside of the coach's office Jamie let out a long breath and she heard Misty do the same. The tension, now gone, she realized that she was about to pee on herself. She noticed that Misty was right on her heals and that Misty entered the booth next to hers.

As Misty sat there, she thought of how to solve their problem and slowly came up with a plan. When she came out of the restroom, she found Jamie waiting outside of the door.

"Come on, we need to talk." Misty instructed Jamie as they headed out of the arena.

Jamie did not like being told what to do but something told her to see what Misty was up to. She led Jamie across the campus to a hill that over looked the university. It was quite there and no one was around. Misty sat down and padded a place beside her for Jamie to sit. Misty took a deep breath before speaking.

"Do you hate me because of who I am or because I am as good as you are at playing basketball?"

This took Jamie by surprise and she did not how to respond so she replied with "What do you mean?"

"I mean do you hate me because of my personality? The way I walk, the way I talk, who I am friends with or because I am a fucking whore."

"I don't know you or who you like. And I am sorry I called you a fucking whore. You know I was just mad yesterday. But what is your point."

"I know and I am sorry that I called you a fucking bitch, I too was pissed. My point is that we have hated each other for so long now but we really don't know each other so how can we really hate each other. Our hate revolves around basketball so let's take basketball out of the equation for the moment."

"But basketball is in both of our blood, it is our lives."

"You are right but for the moment let's avoid basketball and see if we can learn something about each other and then we can throw basketball back in once we get to know each other."

"Ok I am willing to try anything at this point. I sure as hell don't want to sit beside of Coach Lou for the next four years."

"I did not come here to sit on the bench either." Misty said as she got up and held out her hand to Jamie, who took it and got up with a quizzical look on her face.

"My name is Misty Watermier and I am happy to meet you." Misty then held out her hand. Jamie face changed to a comical look but she took Misty's hand

"And you are?"

"This is silly."

"You are right but it is a starting point, just play along a minute and let's see if it can work."

Jamie sighed but replied, "My name is Jamie Goodman, and I am very happy to meet you."

Misty had to smile but she held out her hand again and they shook hands. Misty sat back down and padded the ground by her for Jamie to sit.

"Do you want to go first and tell me something about yourself?"

"No this is your idea; I will let you go first."

"Fair enough," Misty thought a minute deciding just how far to go. Finally, she decided to go all out and see where it went. Misty started at birth and told Jamie most everything about herself with one important exception. She told her about both of her parents having an affair when she was six. This of course caused a lot of tension at home and her parents eventually got divorced. They both then married the person they were having an affair with. She was mad at both of her parents so she went to live with her grandmother until she was ten when her parents divorced their partners and got back together. They then had two more children who Misty said were a pain in the ass but she loved them both to death. She told Jamie about discovering basketball when her parents got divorced and that saved her. She talked about forty-five minutes before she finally finished. Jamie was surprised how much Misty was telling her and after she finished she wanted to still dislike Misty but she could not help to start liking her.

Now it was Jamie's turn. She had not planned on being so open as Misty was but after she got started she found she was telling Misty more than she had told anyone before. She told her that she also had a little brother and sister but while she loved them both she also was jealous of them. Both of her parents worked so when she was not playing basketball she had to help raise her brother and sister. Basketball became a way to get out of the house and away from her siblings. She told her that she liked to kid and to play jokes on people and that tended to get her in trouble every once in a while. She did not talk as long as Misty but she was just as honest as Misty in what she said.

Once Jamie was through talking they both laid back on the grass and thought about what each had said. The silence was about to get to a critical stage when Misty spoke.

"Ok now where do we go from here? I know we don't have to be best friends but I want us to be friends. I don't think I can stand us rooming together the way we are now. There is too much tension there. And I am to stubborn to request a new roommate and admit defeat."

Jamie looked over at Misty and she saw a tear running down Misty's cheek. Her heart just broke seeing Misty crying. She though about what Misty said about her parents and she knew that Misty was probably feeling those same feelings she did back then. The tension she felt back then Jamie knew she was feeling again. Jamie then surprised the hell out of herself. She slid over to Misty and helped her to sit up. She then put her arms around Misty and hugged her. Misty was just as surprised but was thankful that maybe their feud was now over. They hugged a moment then separated and they looked at each other then quickly looked away to avoid the embarrassment they both felt at the show of emotion.

"I officially declare an end to our feud. You can be in the room any time you want. No more one off and one on, which was silly thing to do. But I will still complete hard with you on the court but off no more competing or fighting. If I have a problem with you then we will talk and I expect the same from you."

"That is fine with me." Misty stuck out her hand one more time.

"You sure like to shake hands don't you?" Jamie said as she shook Misty's hand one more time.

Misty suddenly sang out "I just wanna hold your hand." quoting the old Beadles song. Jamie heard Misty sing off key and broke out laughing, discovering that Misty had a sense of humor. Misty acted hurt for a second at Jamie laughing at her singing then she broke out laughing herself. Soon they both were rolling around the grass laughing. When the laughter ended, they decided that a little lunch was in order. They went to a pizza place just off campus and got a pizza. They were silent at first not knowing what to say but Jamie finally broke the silence and they started to talk. This time basketball was the subject and they found that they could talk about that too without fighting. They talked about the plays they each were having trouble with and both admitted for the first time that they were scared about making it playing at the college basketball level. They both knew now that being superstars in high school did not automatically make them superstars in college.

After lunch, they went back to the dorm room and there was a moment when they were unsure what to do. Jamie eventually went over to her basketball and picked it up.

"How about a little basketball?"

Misty looked at Jamie questioning her thinking.

"We are going to have to cross this hurdle sooner or later. We might as well get it over with."

"You got a point there." Misty said as she got up and followed Jamie out the door. They found an outdoor court on the far end of campus where they stretched a few minutes then took turns shooting. Finally, it was time to play. They started slow not guarding each other too close but their competitiveness took over and they started playing to win. They were soon pushing and on occasion fouling each other. Neither getting mad and they continued playing. When they were resting a minute or two Misty looked at Jamie and realized that for the first time since coming to college was having fun playing basketball. They played for a while longer then they both went up for a rebound. When they came down they each had a firm grip on the basketball. As they wrestled for the ball, Misty felt something brush against her side. She let out a squeal and let go of the basketball. She then realized that Jamie had tickled her.

"No fair." Misty shouted at Jamie.

"All's fair in love and basketball."

"We'll see." Misty said as she snatched the ball from Jamie and put in a lay-up.

"Hey!" Jamie shouted.

"All's fair in love and basketball." Misty said as her passed the basketball back to Jamie. They started playing but now the seriousness was all gone as they were trying to out do the other one, playfully fouling and just plain goofing off. A while later a couple of guys wandered by and challenged them to a game. Jamie smiled at Misty and winked. Misty was stumped for a second then realized what Jamie was up to. The two guys let them have the ball first and Jamie let her first shot get blocked. They let the guys get to ten points in a game of twenty points when they started to play for real. Misty hit a long- range shot and then Jamie stole the ball and hit her own shot. The guys were force to go out and guard so Jamie passed the ball to Misty and she ran by the guy guarding her and put up a lay-up. The score ended up 20 to 12 with the girls winning. The guys' egos were damaged and determined to beat these two upstarts and they challenged Misty and Jamie to another game. The score ended up being 20 to 8 this time. The guys then changed tactics deciding that if they could not beat them then maybe they would ask the girls out. But when asked Jamie looked at Misty and then declined for both of them. The guys walked off saying something about a couple of fucking dykes and Jamie and Misty both thought to themselves that the guys were half right.

They decided that was enough basketball for the day so they headed for the dorm. For a day that started so bad, Jamie could not believe how good it turned out and she realized that she did not want to end it quite yet. She suggested a movie and Misty readily agreed. They took a shower then headed out the door but before they got far Misty stopped Jamie.

"Wait a minute I need your help for a second."

"What?"

"Help me take down all this shit on the wall, I can't stand it any more."

"Well you little whore. You put that up just to piss me off didn't you?"

"Of course, I had to do something after you came up with that stupid idea of taking turns in the room thing."

Jamie laughed but started helping Misty in taking down the crap on the wall. Once they were done, they headed back out but Jamie stopped suddenly causing Misty to run into the back of her.

"I did not mean anything about the whore thing a minute ago."

"I know bitch."

Jamie hit Misty on the shoulder as they walked out giggling. They went to the mall and got something to eat at the food court. They discussed on what movie to watch before deciding on a comedy. It turned out to be really funny that had them both in stitches for most of the movie. When they left, they both were feeling pretty good about themselves and how the day had turned out. When they got back to the dorm, they took turns in the bathroom getting ready for bed. When Jamie turned out the light, she bid Misty goodnight and Misty returned the thought.

When morning arrived, Misty was the first one up and as she sat in bed a minute she looked over at Jamie's sleeping form. She could not believe that she had hated Jamie for so long and in less than twenty-four hours, she had begun to genuinely like her. Jamie really wasn't so bad a person after all.

Once they were both up and going and had gotten dressed, they went to the cafeteria to have some breakfast. This time they sat at the same table and were talking when Karen and five of the team strolled in. They all glanced in their direction and then in unison did a double take. They could not believe that Jamie and Misty were actually sitting at the same table. Karen directed them to another table leaving Jamie and Misty alone. Jamie and Misty knew they were the center of attention of their attention. Jamie came up with an idea of faking a fight to get a reaction from them. This made Misty giggle but then she reminded Jamie that they were still on probation with the team so they had better play it cool for a while. Once they finished their breakfast and they went up to the room to study for a few hours. At about one, they closed their books and headed for the basketball courts. Since it was a warm day, most of the courts were full but they managed to horn in on a couple of games winning all but one of their games. The one they lost was to a couple guys from the men's team, yet they were able to hold their own.

After eating supper, Misty had a paper to work on so Jamie went to the lounge to watch some TV. When she came back, she told Misty that she got quizzed about their meeting with Coach Lou and if she and Misty had worked everything out. She said that she did not tell them much but did say that we were working on it but she was not sure that they really believed what she had to say. Jamie wondered aloud what they were going to tell the team tomorrow to convince them to let them back on the team. Misty said to let her think about it and she would come up with something. Jamie figured that Misty had been right up to now so she went with it and crawled into bed. It took Misty about an hour of tossing and turning before she had a start of an idea and was able to drift off to sleep.

Jamie met Misty about a half hour before practice and Misty told her what she was going to say. Jamie said that it sounded fine with her. They let the team get ready then Misty got the teams attention. The student managers left the locker room to give the team some privacy.

"Coach Lou said it was up to all of you as to whether Jamie and I can return to the team. I want to let you all know that Jamie and I have spent the weekend getting to know each other and have decided to put our feud behind us. We did this for the good of the team and more importantly for ourselves. Of course Coach Lou gave us added incentive to do this by threatening to make us spend the next four years sitting beside her on the bench."

This brought a laugh from the team, as Misty intended.

"Anyway we are asking you to forgive us and give us another chance."

Karen spoke for the team. "I think we are all willing to give you both another chance but as they say the proof is in the pudding. But there is one condition to letting you back on the team. You have been punished by Coach Lou and now you must take our punishment."

Misty and Jamie looked at each other and Jamie replied "Okay."

I think the team managers need a break so you both will put up the basketballs after practice and then clean up the locker room for a week. Are you willing to do that?"

"Yes" they both replied.

The team went to practice and everyone was surprise how well Misty and Jamie got along. They were able to foul and get fouled without getting angry at each other. Even Coach Lou was surprised how well they got along. When practice ended, the team dropped the basketballs in unison. Jamie and Misty went behind the team and put the basketballs away. When Misty and Jamie got to the locker room everyone was coming out of the showers, so they undressed and went to take their showers. When they got out wrapped in towels, they found a total mess. There were practice clothes everywhere. The wet towels were lying on the floor. Normally Coach Lou would have thrown a fit if she saw this but this was the exception. Misty and Jamie looked at each other in disgust but set to work cleaning up after the team. The rest of the week went the same way until Saturday's morning practice. Jamie and Misty put the balls up and went to the locker room to take their showers. Saturday's practice was always the hardest so when they got to the showers everyone was still showering trying to work out the soreness in their muscles. Misty got undressed and took a towel to the shower. The showers were divided up into individual stalls so that each would have some privacy. When Misty got done she reached for her towel only to find it missing. Misty hollered out for someone to return her towel but she only got a reply from Jamie who said she was missing hers too. It was then that they realized that something was wrong. All the showers were still going but they heard no other voices. They turned off the all the showers and were left with an eerily silence.

Misty followed Jamie out of the steam filled shower room to find the locker room empty. Jamie turned around and Misty felt her breath give away. She got her first real long look at Jamie naked and she found she liked what she was seeing. Misty had seen Jamie as well as most of the rest of the team naked but this was different. This time they were completely alone. Jamie was six feet tall, an inch taller than she was. Her short black hair was plastered to her head. There was water dripping off her small but pert breasts and her small dark nipples were hard from the cool air. Misty's eyes drifted on down Jamie's body to the flair of the hips. Her eyes drifted a little farther down to Jamie's back pubic hair. Misty felt a shiver of excitement go down her spine.

She did not realize it but Jamie was also giving her the once over. Jamie saw Misty's small firm breasts with quarter size areoles. She saw her lean and hard body. Her eyes also went on downward to Misty's pussy and she could just make out her labia through the light brown pubic hair. She felt a desire beginning to grown within her. Their eyes finally came back together and they both blushed as they realized that they had just been standing there staring at each other.

"We have got to find some towels around here somewhere." Jamie said to break the awkward silence. They looked around only to find the supply area locked tight as well as everyone's locker, including their own. As they looked for something to wear, they each kept glancing at each other. Misty discovered that Jamie had a butt to die for and when she bent over, she just caught a glimpse of the slit of Jamie's pussy. This only served to turn on the facets in her pussy. Finally, Jamie found two pairs of dirty smelly sweats in a corner. The sweats were a men's size 3X. They turned out to be the sweats for the center of the men's team, whom Jasmine was dating. They looked at each other knowing that the rest of the team had set them up. They held their noses and put the sweats on. They then found that the ties had been taken out so they had to hold them up at the waist and hold them close at the top lest they fall off their shoulders. On the way out, they found their tennis shoes so they put them on and headed toward the dorm. As they walked, they knew they were catching the stares of most of the campus and only one thing was said. That was by Jamie who simple said.

"You know this means that we will have to get them back."

There was no need to reply as Misty was thinking the same thing. When they got back to the dorm, they found their door unlocked and their clothes neatly stacked on the end of their beds. As much as they both wanted the smelly sweats off, they both got a sudden case of shyness. They had just seen each other naked and it had its effect. Misty gestured to Jamie to go ahead to the bathroom to take a quick shower to get the smell off. Once she was gone, Misty was left to her thoughts, a week ago she hated the girl in the bathroom and now here she was lusting after that same girl. She said to herself "You really know how to fuck up your life don't you fool."

As Jamie was taking her shower, she was thinking about Misty. They had gone from enemies to friends, then to best friends and now there was something more. She knew she saw the same thing she was feeling in Misty's eyes. She also knew that Misty was a thinker and it would take her a little while to come around to what Jamie figured she already knew. They were destined to become lovers. The problem was how to play it. She cared for her deeply now and the last thing she wanted to do was scare her off. She would have to wait and let Misty come to the same conclusion. Of course, she figured she would have to prompt her a little along the way. Jamie finished her shower and dried off. She put on a tee shirt and a clean pair of panties but figuring now was as good as time as any to push Misty a bit she left her shorts off. When she came out of the shower, she found Misty sitting on her bed thinking away. Misty quickly got up and went to the shower. Jamie lay down on her bed for a nap not bothering to cover up.

As Misty showered, she thought about Jamie and wondered what she was going to do. She saw the look in Jamie's eyes but she was not completely sure if it meant what she thought it might. Could Jamie be a lesbian like she was? Could her enemy, then friend become her lover? It was all too scary to think about at once so she tried to put it out of her mind. When she came out of the bathroom, she found Jamie sleeping on her bed. She stopped and observed her friend. She saw the outline of Jamie's breasts against her tee shirt and she saw the nipples poking against the fabric. She looked on down Jamie's body to find that Jamie's black pubic darkened the crotch area of her panties. Misty stood there a few minutes more before climbing into her own bed. She resisted the urge to turn on her side and look at Jamie. But she did fall asleep with the image of Jamie in her head.

Jamie woke up a couple of hours later feeling a bit more refreshed. Misty was still sleeping so Jamie decided to catch up on her homework. When Misty woke up she joined Jamie and they worked until about six. At that point, they shut their books and tried to decide what they wanted to do. It was like they both wanted to do something but neither had a clue as to what. Finally, they gave up and settled on burger and a movie. They went through the drive through and then parked outside the movie theater as they ate and listened to a couple of CD's. They both turned in their seats and talked as they ate. As they talked, the conversation got deeper and deeper. Jamie found that she was telling Misty everything. It was almost like she wanted Misty to know everything about who she was. Misty did her share of talking but mostly she listened to Jamie. A long while later Jamie went to change the CD when she noticed the time.

"Oh god, it's ten-thirty. I think we missed the movie. I did not mean to talk so much. I don't know what I was thinking."

"That is ok, I wasn't much in the mood to watch a movie anyway. Besides I enjoyed listening to you talk."

Misty emphasized the point by touching Jamie's hand. Jamie took a chance and she curled her fingers around Misty's. Jamie looked at Misty who slowly raised her eyes from where Jamie was holding her hand until she was looking back into Jamie's eyes. Misty kept her hand in place liking the feeling of Jamie's hand as she held on to it. She felt her face go flush and was glad that the car was dark so Jamie could not see it. But Jamie felt Misty's hand get sweaty so she knew what Misty was feeling. Finally, Misty took her hand away. Jamie suggested that they drive around a while before heading home. Misty agreed needing the time for her head to clear.

They drove for an hour or so before ending back at the dorm. Jamie went into the bathroom first to get ready for bed. When she came out, she was wearing just a tee shirt and panties like she had earlier. Misty could not help but to take notice when she went to get ready for bed. As she was brushing her teeth, she decided to copy Jamie's sleep clothes. She left her sweat shorts that she normally slept in off and went out with just her tee shirt and panties. Misty watched Jamie carefully as she entered the room and she saw Jamie smile. She quickly got into bed and turned out the light thinking about the way Jamie was staring at her.

Sunday morning they went to the arena and played with a few of the other girls from the team. After lunch, Misty and Jamie went off by themselves to play. They found a couple of games where they were able to beat up on the guys. That got to be a thing with them frustrating the guys on the basketball court and then turning them down for dates after the game. After dinner, they retired back to the dorm with Misty working on a paper and Jamie wandering down to Destiny and Jordan's room to bullshit. When Jamie came back, she found Misty already in bed. She brushed her teeth and went to bed but she noticed that Misty was watching her as she got into bed so she went a little slower than really necessary allowing Misty to catch all she had to show.

The next two weeks went along about the same with Misty and Jamie going to class and then practice. The only exception was when Jamie decided to extract their revenge on the rest of the team. Jamie filled Misty in on what she wanted to do. Misty was not sure at first but Jamie talked her into it. It was a Saturday practice and they got to the locker room an half hour before everyone else. They got ready then shooed the student mangers out of the locker room. They put on their practice clothes then they began to swap everyone clothes around making sure that everyone would have no chance of wearing the clothes they were given. It would either be way too small or way to large. They knew that every one arrived with just enough time to get ready and get on the court. Today they would be cutting it really close. Misty and Jamie looked everything over when they were done then went out to shoot some baskets as they waited on the team to arrive. They knew the last place they wanted to be was in the locker room when it all came down. About two minutes before practice was to start the rest of the team came running out and they all looked as mad as wet hens. Coach Lou looked at the team then at Misty and Jamie and she knew her freshmen were up to something. She decided to play her part.

"Is anything wrong Ladies?"

"Yes there is..." Jasimine started to say but Karen interrupted her.

"No mam, everything is cool." Karen interrupted and she turned to Jasimine with her eyes boring into her telling Jasimine to keep her mouth shut.

"Okay then, let's get going."

Jamie and Misty tried to keep out of everyone's way during the practice. Once practice was over Misty and Jamie hung back wondering what reception they were going to get. When they entered, the room the rest of the team were huddled together. Jamie whispered to Misty "We're Fucked." But the team surprised them when they started clapping.

Karen stepped forward and spoke for the team. "We have to hand it to you both. You got us back good. But I want to warn everyone. Pranks are fine during the season, it helps to keep everyone lose but let's keep it clean and fun, okay."

They all agreed then Jasmine spoke up. "Fine with me but next time give me a bra I have a chance of getting into. I about killed myself getting into Kaylee's bra. She ain't got anything to fit into a bra."

This got a laugh and a towel thrown at Jasmine by Kaylee. Jasmine then stomped over to where Jamie was standing. Jamie shrunk back against her locker fearing what Jasmine was going to do but Jasmine just wrapped her long arms around Jamie and bear hugged her. She then set her sights for Misty who made her escape into the showers. Jasmine whooped out loud and chased after her. There was a lot of hollering coming from the shower and it was coming mostly from Misty. A moment later Jasmine came out carrying Misty in her arms and Misty was hollering to be let down. From then on there were many pranks played and most of them involved Misty and Jamie.

Every evening Jamie and Misty spent studying so that they would have their weekends mostly free. Jamie kept the pressure on Misty by touching her arm or hand whenever she had the chance. Misty found this touching disconcerting and reassuring at the same time. On Saturday morning they would have the team practice in the morning, then take a nap and go out to a movie or maybe the mall. On Sunday's they would play basketball most of the day either with the team or pick-up games with other students.

After three weeks of practice, the first game arrived. It was an exhibition game against an all-star team. Both Jamie and Misty were nervous and had spent most of the night before the game talking. They wondered how much they would get to play and how bad or good they would be. They both did their best to encourage the other. The game finally came and Jamie was the first one of the two off the bench. She missed her first shot and got the ball taken out of her hand on the next play. She then settled down and hit her next two shots. Misty replaced her and she hit her fist shot but missed the next two. They ended up playing about ten minutes apiece. Over all they were just happy to get the first game over with. A week later, they played another exhibition game. This one was against a foreign national team, which was bigger and faster than they were. This one neither played as well but they got the experience that the coach wanted.

The season started for real on the following Wednesday. The first couple of games were against lesser teams and Jamie and Misty got to play quite a bit. They then headed into the real part of the season. Coach Lou believed you got better as a team by playing the best teams in the nation so her schedules were always the toughest. The next three games Misty and Jamie did not play quite as much but Coach Lou made sure that they got into each game. She knew she would need their shooting before the end of the season.

Basketball and classes were now at the front of their minds but late at night was when they would talk and their budding romance would come back. They did not talk about how they were feeling but they damn well thought about it. It was coming to the point where something had to happen and as luck would have it, it did.

On Friday night, they had a home game with the number three-ranked team in the nation. Normally they played on Thursday and Sunday games but this one was to be on TV so it was moved to Friday night. They were ranked at number two but both teams knew this game could go either way. The first half was nick and tuck all the way with the other teaming leading by four and the end of the half. Coach Lou torn into the team at half time, letting everyone know how badly they had played. Misty or Jamie did not play in the first half but when they fell behind by ten Misty was called off the bench. Jamie grabbed her hand as she got up and that gave Misty the courage she needed. She came in and missed her first shot but Isabella got the rebound and put it in. Karen got a steal on the opponent's next possession and she found Misty in the corner. Misty set up and she hit a big three pointer. The arena came alive, and the team ran off twelve straight points. Misty was taken out at the next time out and Jamie went in. She hit her first two shots, which put the team up for good. But the other team did try to make a come back. When they did, the upper classmen were put back in to hold them off. When the buzzer went off to end the game the team hugged each other knowing they had passed their first of many tests. When Jamie and Misty hugged, something clicked. They both felt something go through them and when Misty felt Jamie hug her a little tighter, she did the same. They released each other but Misty saw the desire in Jamie's eyes and she got a little scared but excited at the same time.

The two teams shook hands telling each other they played a good game. When the team got to the locker room, they were shouting and laughing until Coach Lou got there. She told them that they played a good game but they still had much to work on to be a great team. Once everyone got showered the team went to the common room at the dorm to celebrate. The music was playing and all were talking and dancing with each other. Jamie danced with most everyone as did Misty but Jamie made sure that they ended up together. For Misty everyone else seemed to fade into the background when they started to dance. She was only seeing Jamie. They danced and twirled each other enjoying themselves. Then a slow song came on. A few of the girls did a slow dance with each other for fun but when Jamie took Misty into her arms, it became real for both of them. Misty felt herself being drawn into Jamie's eyes. Misty felt their bodies being pressed together. She felt a hundred different emotions flow through her body from love to lust to fear. She danced with Jamie for a few moments then panic hit her as she felt the need to kiss Jamie. Misty quickly broke away.

"I forgot to call my parents." Misty said as she ran off. No one paid much attention except Jamie who knew Misty had already called her parents on her cell phone right after the game. Jamie waited a few minutes then followed Misty to their room. When she got there, she found the room dark and she could see Misty in laying her bed. Jamie came into the room and in the dim light that was coming through the window she found her stereo. She tuned the radio on to a station that played only love songs late at night. She took off her top and bra and dropped her pants then put on her sleep shirt.

Misty was watching her every move wondering what Jamie was going to do. When she saw her put on her sleep shirt, she was suddenly afraid that Jamie was just going to go to bed. As scared, as she was that something was about to happen she was just as afraid that nothing would happen. She watched as Jamie came over to her bed and pulled her covers down and extended her hand out to Misty.

"I believe you still owe me a dance."

"I can't dance with you. I'm scared."

"I'm scared too." Jamie softly replied.

Misty thought for a second then put her hand in Jamie's and allowed Jamie to help her out of bed. Jamie led her to the center of the room. She placed her hands at Misty's hips and drew her in close. Misty put her arms around Jamie and they looked at each other as they began to sway to the soft music. Misty felt her heart beating a thousand times a minute and for the first time in her life, she was not sure what to do. Finally, she put her head on Jamie's shoulder and they danced. As time went on their movements slowed and slowed until they were just standing still. Jamie pulled back and before Misty knew what was happening, she felt Jamie's lips touch hers. Jamie's lips were soft and sweet and Misty responded by kissing her back. Their first kiss seemed to last forever as their lips were locked together. When they parted, they both had to take a deep breath.

"I have wanted to do that for a long time." Misty whispered.

"I have too. I just wasn't completely sure how you felt about it."

"Now you know."

Jamie took Misty by the back of her head and pulled her back in for their second kiss. Their mouths came together and they opened their mouths kissing harder and more passionately. Soon their tongues entered the picture with Jamie putting her tongue into Misty's mouth and Misty met it with her own. Jamie would always make the first move and Misty was quick to follow. Their hands were griping and pulling at each other. Jamie would pull on Misty's lower lip and suck her tongue into her mouth. Misty would then do the same to her. They were breathing harder and their hearts were bursting. Finally, they had to break apart.

After they rested, a second Jamie gave Misty a kiss on her forehead and let her go. She stepped back and pulled her sleep shirt off leaving her in just her panties. Misty looked at Jamie's breasts in the dim light. Jamie then stepped up and took Misty's shirt in her hands. Misty put her hands on Jamie's stopping her.

"What are you doing?"

"Trust me."

Misty took her hands off of Jamie's and allowed Jamie to pull her top off. Misty was now like Jamie, clothed only in her panties. Jamie took Misty by the hand and led her to Misty's bed were she helped Misty in. She then crawled in beside her. They lay on their sides facing each other. Jamie leaned in to kiss Misty. Their lips touched lightly before Misty pulled back. Misty took Jamie's hands in hers.

"I never done anything like this before." Misty told Jamie.

"I haven't either, I have kissed another girl before but never more than that."

"How about boys?"

"Yuk, no I have never kissed a boy nor do I want to."

"Me neither, I never even got to kiss a girl before and I am glad you are the first."

"I am glad of that too."

"When did you know you liked girls?"

"Hush, just relax." Jamie told Misty as she pushed Misty onto her back. She followed her lying on top of Misty. She kissed her and placed a hand on Misty's right breast. Misty sucked in her breath as she felt Jamie's hand on her breast but with Jamie kissing her she quickly relaxed. Jamie gently caressed the soft tissue and then came to her nipple taking it between her thumb and index finger. She pinched Misty's nipple and she heard Misty moan. Misty put her hand behind Jamie's neck holding her to her lips. They kissed and Jamie played with Misty's breast and nipple. Jamie moved her lips to Misty's neck and then she slowly moved down to Misty's breasts. As her hand continued to caress Misty's right breast her mouth found Misty's left breast. She kissed the nipple and then sucked it into her mouth. Misty felt like a whole new world was opening up to her. Nothing had ever felt this good before and she heard herself moaning. Jamie sucked and teased the left breast then went over to the right breast. She kissed the nipple getting a moan from Misty. Jamie sucked the nipple into her mouth feeling it harden. Jamie felt her own nipples harden and her pussy was getting wet. Jamie sucked and kissed Misty's breasts but then she had to feel Misty's pussy.

Misty felt Jamie's hand going down her stomach. She knew where it was going. She felt the hand slip under her panties then comb through her pubic hair and across her mound. She opened her legs as Jamie's hand got to her pussy. As Jamie's fingers skimmed across Misty's engorged clit she cried out "Oh God!" She felt a small orgasm hit her and she shivered. Jamie fingers went on down and began to stroke her outer lips. Jamie's fingers went up and down her slit and the feeling was overpowering for Misty. Nothing felt this good before and Jamie's mouth was still sucking and pulling on her breasts. Misty felt her pussy juice flowing coating Jamie's fingers. Misty started to move her hips against Jamie's fingers. When she felt Jamie's middle finger slip inside her Misty called out Jamie's name. Jamie slipped her finger in and out of Misty's pussy and her palm pressed against Misty's clit. Misty gripped Jamie's arm and held on as her second orgasm hit her and this one was very powerful and she felt it through out her body. When she recovered, she found Jamie looking down at her smiling and her hand was still on her pussy. Jamie bent down and kissed Misty. Their lips locked together and they kissed long and hard. Misty thought Jamie was done but she surprised her. Jamie gave her a quick kiss then got up on her knees and withdrew her hand from Misty's panties. Jamie got down between Misty's legs and took Misty's panties in her hands. She pulled them off with Misty's lifting her hips to help her. Jamie spread out Misty's legs and she leaned down. Misty felt Jamie's hot breath on her pussy just before she felt Jamie's lips kiss her pussy. It felt like 110 volts of electricity touching her pussy. Misty heard herself moan loudly. Jamie then began to lick up and down her slit. Jamie's tongue licked all of the outside labia then it went deeper into her slit. Misty could not believe how good this felt and it was Jamie doing it to her. Jamie licked her labia a while then went up to her clit. She sucked it into her mouth driving Misty crazy. Jamie licked and sucked on the clit and Misty felt a third climax coming. When Jamie pushed a finger into her pussy, she cried out as the orgasm hit. She pushed her hips against Jamie's mouth and rode out the orgasm.

When she came down from her orgasm Misty found Jamie licking up her juices. She stopped her and pulled her up. She kissed Jamie tasting her own pussy juices on Jamie's lips. Misty then pushed Jamie onto her back and Jamie knew that Misty was about to return the favor. Misty kissed all of her juices off Jamie's face then slid down her body. Jamie watched as Misty first looked down at her breasts. She then bent down and took one into her mouth. Jamie now knew why Misty moaned when she did that to her and she now heard herself moan. Misty's warm mouth on her nipple felt so good as she sucked and licked on it. Misty sucked on one nipple as her hand caressed the other one. Jamie knew she was not going to last long with Misty doing this to her. She wrapped her legs around Misty's waist and she rubbed her panty-covered pussy against Misty's stomach. In no time, she felt her first orgasm hit and her body shook from it. Misty smiled knowing she had made Jamie cum and that made her happy. But Misty was a long way from being done. She gave a last kiss to each nipple then went on down to Jamie's pussy. She got up on her knees and pulled Jamie's soaked panties off. She then looked down at Jamie's pussy. The dark pubic hair in the dim light did not give her a good view but she could smell her arousal. Jamie waited patiently as Misty looked down at her. She saw Misty lower her head and she held her breath until she felt Misty's lips on her pussy. She moaned lowly as Misty began to lick her pussy. Misty's tongue felt so good as it went up her slit to her clit and she cried out when Misty's tongue touched it. Misty set in and began to lick up and down her pussy. There was no place that Misty's tongue did not touch and it all felt good. When Misty stuck her tongue deep into her pussy Jamie had to grip the sheets to keep from cumming right then and there. Misty swirled her tongue deep inside her pussy and followed that with a finger as Misty's mouth went back to her clit. Misty's tongue licked Jamie's clit and Misty's finger drove into her pussy. Jamie felt an orgasm hit her hard and it started to wash over her. Misty kept licking and fucking her so that when one orgasm ended another one started. Jamie did not know she was capable of multiple orgasms until then but she had one after another until she finally had to push Misty away as her clit became too sensitive.

Misty came up in the bed and hugged Jamie tight against her body as Jamie came down from the high that her orgasm had evoked in her. Once Jamie had recovered, she turned in the bed so that she and Misty were facing each other. They kissed lightly then they stared into each other's eyes and held on tightly. Misty began to think about what had just happened and that she knew thinking too much always got her into trouble but once the questions came into her mind she had to have answers.

"Is what just happen real?" Misty asked Jamie.

"It felt real to me. I have never cum like that before."

"No not the sex, us."

"I sort-of figured that was what you were really asking. You want to know if I will respect you in the morning."

"No that is not what I want to know!" Misty said in a frustrated tone.

"I know, I was kidding with you. I am sorry. I will be serious so ask me what you really want to ask."

Misty took in a deep breath and then just spilled her guts.

"Damn you, you really know how to make it hard for me. You asked for this so you are forewarned. First I hated you, then I found out you weren't so bad. The next thing I know you became my best friend. Now I think I have fallen in love with you."

"Ok now we are at the heart of the matter. Well I pretty much went from hating you to loving you so I skipped a couple of steps you went through."

Misty let out a long sigh feeling relief from the sudden tension.

"Ok, what happens tomorrow with us."

"Well I assume we will wake up in the morning, kiss, and hopefully make love again."

"Oh you know what I meant." Misty said as she hit Jamie on the arm.

"Ouch, that hurt. You know I like to kid but I will try to be serious for the rest of this conversation. You are asking about us and the team and the future. I don't know the answer to that. I plan on loving you for a long time but I think we need to be discreet with everyone else. I don't think the rest of the team will care as long as it does not affect the team. If we have a fight and we will have one sooner or later, then we need to keep that between us and not drag them into it. Our private life is our business and no one will care. Other than that, we will take it one day at a time and see what happens. Does that answer your question?"

"More or less. I guess I got scared for a moment there. I think I dread telling my parents more that I do the team."

"I am the same way with my parents and I don't think we should tell the team anything. They will figure it out on their own if they have not already."

"You think they suspect something?"

"Think about it. We hated each other and all of a sudden we are never seen apart. It's like we are joined at the hip. Not that I am complaining, but even the best of friends do not spend as much time together as we do. Besides you were pretty loud a few moments ago so the whole floor probably knows about us now."

"Bitch!" Misty hollered then took her pillow and hit Jamie on the head with it. Jamie grabbed her own pillow and swung it at Misty and the pillow fight was on. They each were getting in their licks as they laughed. After a few minutes of fighting, Jamie landed a good one on Misty knocking her off balance. Jamie dropped her pillow and leaped on Misty pinning her to the bed. Jamie sat on Misty's stomach and held Misty's hands over her head.

"I got you now."

"So what are you going to do with me?"

"Mmm, I don't know. Let me think a minute." Jamie sat there a few seconds then she started to lean down.

"I guess I could just kiss you." And that is what she did. She released Misty's hands and lay down on top of her as they kissed. Misty put her hands around Jamie and they kissed for a while. Their sexual hunger had been satisfied for the moment but their need for each other had just started. They kissed and stroked each other for a while. They then settled in the bed and fell asleep holding on tight.

Misty woke up first the next morning. The sun was up and she got her first close up look at Jamie's body. She gently moved Jamie onto her back without waking her. She looked at her face with her high cheekbones and the dimples on her cheeks. Misty's eyes moved on down her body to her breasts. The sheet was pulled down exposing them to her eyes. Her eyes feasted on Jamie's dark areoles. They were about the size of a quarter. Misty could not resist so she moved a finger to the closest nipple and she ran her finger around the nipple teasing it. She watched as the nipple slowly hardened. She went over to the other nipple doing the same to that one. She heard a soft moan from Jamie and she felt her start to stir. Misty got up on one elbow and took the closest nipple into her mouth, sucking gently. As she sucked, she used her tongue to tease the nipple. Jamie woke up about this time to find Misty sucking on her breast. She cupped Misty's head with her hand holding Misty to her breast. Misty looked up to see the Jamie was awake. She let the nipple go and moved up to kiss her. Their lips met and they kissed. The first kiss was short and sweet but then they kissed again harder and more passionate as their tongues entered the kiss. As they kissed, Misty moved her hand down to Jamie's pussy and she began to stroke her clit. Jamie moaned and began to hump her pelvis against Misty's hand. Misty stroked her clit, moved her fingers to the entrance of Jamie's pussy, and slipped one in. Jamie was already wet and the finger slipped right in. Jamie moaned and sucked Misty's tongue into her mouth. Jamie was getting closer and closer to a climax when she realized that she had to pee bad.

"Your about to make me pee all over myself. Let me up a second." Jamie said as she pushed Misty off her.

"Race you to the bathroom." Misty replied as she pushed Jamie back down and she jumped off the bed and headed toward the bathroom.

""Oh no you don't whore." But Misty was already half way to the bathroom.

When Jamie got there, Misty was already on the toilet and she heard the first drops of pee.

"You little shit, hurry up. I have to go bad."

Misty just smiled and continued to pee as she leaned over and turned on the facet. Jamie cringed and crossed her legs. Her eyes were about to water she had to pee so badly. Finally, Misty finished and wiped herself before slowly getting up. Jamie was desperate by now and she was sitting on the toilet before Misty was completely up. However, Jamie did take to opportunity to swat Misty on the butt as she got up.

"Ouch! That hurt."

"Well that is what you get for making me wait."

Misty giggled then went to the shower to let the water warm up as Jamie peed. When the water was warm, Misty stepped in.

"Don't use up all the warm water, whore."

Misty opened the shower curtain and Jamie saw Misty all wet and sexy looking. Misty crooked her finger motioning for Jamie to join her. Jamie smiled and stepped into the shower. It was a tight fit but neither girl minded.

"I think I need to finish what I started earlier."

Misty pinned Jamie against the shower wall and as the water cascaded over both of their bodies, then she kissed her. Their lips and bodies came together. Their arms went around each other holding and caressing everywhere. They kissed for a minute or two then Misty kissed her way down to Jamie's breasts. She cupped her breasts in her hands and brought one to the mouth. She sucked and bit the nipple causing Jamie to moan. Misty sucked and licked one nipple before going over the other nipple and doing the same there. She then dropped to her knees and opened Jamie's legs. She kissed Jamie's clit and then began to lick her pussy. Jamie was swollen and ready for her. Misty licked up and down her slit. Jamie moaned and she put one leg on Misty's shoulder opening up her pussy some more. Misty buried her tongue into Jamie's pussy causing her to moan louder. Misty used one hand to open up Jamie's labia to expose her clit. She sucked it into her mouth and then used the other hand to push two fingers into Jamie's pussy. It was a tight fit but Misty was able to get them in and she started to fuck Jamie and suck her clit.

"Oh God Misty that feels good. Don't stop, please don't stop." Jamie cried out.

This spurred Misty on. She sucked a little harder and fucked her a little faster. It did not take Misty long to get Jamie off. Jamie cried out and her leg gave out and she slowly sank down in the shower with Misty's help. Misty held Jamie until she got her senses back.

They kissed a few minutes as the water rained down on them. Jamie then sucked on Misty's breasts and pinched them for a minute or two before asking her to stand up. Jamie was still sitting on the shower floor and she moved under Misty. She grasped Misty's butt in her hands and she buried her face into Misty's pussy. She licked and sucked on Misty's pussy drinking in the juices. Her hands caressed Misty's butt cheeks spreading them and pulling on them. When Jamie's mouth found her clit, she almost lost her balance but she held on. Jamie used short quick licks on Misty's clit and it was driving Misty to a climax. Jamie released Misty's butt and used two fingers to push into Misty's wet and swollen pussy. The walls of her pussy collapsed on Jamie's fingers holding them inside her. Misty screamed as the fingers entered her and she came ever closer to an orgasm as Jamie fucked her. Jamie licked Misty's clit harder and soon she was cumming. Misty dropped to Jamie's lap as she came. Jamie used her fingers to continue stroking Misty as she was having her orgasm thus causing Misty to have a second orgasm. As the second orgasm ended, Misty pushed Jamie's hand away and she melted into Jamie's arms. They rested a moment but by now, the water was beginning to get cool so they got up and washed each other off.

After the shower, they returned to bed to cuddle and to take a nap before getting up and getting something to eat before the afternoon practice. Misty was afraid that everyone would know that something had happened between her and Jamie but no one paid them much mind but her mind was not completely on practice until Coach Lou started yelling at her. That got her attention got back on basketball real quick.

They had another game on Sunday, which they won, but not by as much as they should have. Coach Lou let them know about it after the game too. The after game, the victory party was a little subdued. After an hour, Misty and Jamie went back to their room to study. They studied until they could study no more. Jamie got up and went to the bathroom to get ready for bed. When she came out she was stark naked. She smiled seductively at Misty and went to her bed slipping under the covers. Misty got up quickly to get ready for bed. When she came out the room was dark. She came over to Jamie's bed and slipped under the covers with her. Misty slipped her naked body on top of Jamie's and they kissed. Misty felt Jamie's hands caress her back and buttocks as she caressed Jamie's face and arms. Jamie wrapped her legs around Misty's lower back and she pushed her hips up pressing her pussy against Misty's pussy. Misty began to push down and they ground their pussies together. They started slowly as they kissed but ever so slowly, they picked up speed and pressure. Their pussies grounded together and their clits were rubbing together bringing them closer and closer to a climax. They gave up on kissing, they concentrated on cumming, and they exploded at the same time. Misty collapsed back down on Jamie. Jamie enclosed Misty in her arms and soon they were asleep.

They only had three more days together before Thanksgivings and they made the most of those three days making love every chance they got. When Jamie returned from home, she found Misty waiting in the room for her. She stopped just inside the door as their eyes met. Neither moved or said anything for a few seconds then Jamie turned and shut the door locking it as she did so. Misty jumped up, they met in the middle of the room, and they started kissing. Jamie wrapped her arms around Misty and hugged tightly. When the kiss ended, Misty pulled back and started to undress with Jamie doing the same. Once they were naked, Misty pulled down the sheets and climbed into bed. She held the covers open for Jamie to join her. They settled onto their sides so that they were facing. Jamie took her hand, caressed Misty's face, and then pulled it in close as her lips found Misty's lips. They kissed without the urgency they had a few minutes before. Their lips touched and parted only to come back together again. Soon their hands began to roam, as they caressed and played with each other's breasts. Cupping them then going to the nipples pinching and making them hard. Their hands went down to their butts caressing and squeezing their rounded globes. Misty was the first to move a hand to Jamie's pussy. Misty found that Jamie was already wet and she knew she was wet also. Misty ran her fingers up and down Jamie's slit getting them wet and slippery. She went to Jamie's clit stroking it with a little pressure. Jamie was doing the same to her and Misty felt her excitement rising. They kissed harder, with their tongues pushing into and probing. Misty started using a circular motion on Jamie's clit as Jamie forced a finger into Misty's pussy. Jamie used her palm to press against Misty's clit. Misty moaned harder and she heard Jamie do the same. As her orgasm neared, Misty increased the pressure on Jamie's clit and when she came she heard Jamie cum with her.

They clung to each other until their orgasm's passed. Jamie brought up her fingers to her mouth to get a taste of Misty's juices. Misty then did the same as Jamie watched her suck the juices off her fingers. This only served only to drive them on. Jamie kissed Misty then pushed her over onto her back. She turned around in the bed pulling the sheets off Misty revealing her naked body. She got up on her hands and knees and she positioned herself so that she had a knee on each side of Misty with her pussy over Misty head and Misty's pussy was under her head. Jamie lowered her mouth to Misty's pussy and began to lick. Misty moaned at the touch of Jamie lips on her labia. She stared up at Jamie's pussy seeing it so wet and inviting. She put her hands on Jamie's hips and pulled them down to her. She began to lick Jamie as Jamie licked her. Misty liked making love this way. They could give each other pleasure at the same time. Misty felt Jamie pull her labia open and Jamie's tongue enter her pussy. She had to stop licking for a moment to enjoy what Jamie was doing to her. But after a moment she went back to Jamie's pussy. She put a finger to the entrance and watched as it slowly disappeared inside her. She put her mouth to Jamie's clit and sucked it into her mouth as she began to fuck Jamie with her finger. This time Jamie stopped a second. They went at it this way for what seemed like forever as they brought each other to one climax after another until they could go no further. Jamie turned around in the bed and they hugged and kissed.

"Did you miss me?" Misty asked after a few minutes.

"I only called you twice a day while we were gone, of course I missed you. Did you miss me?"

"You know I did." They kissed again.

"What did you tell your parents about us?" Misty then inquired

"I told them that we were fucking every chance we got."

"You did not!" Misty said as she hit Jamie on the shoulder.

"Ouch, that hurt. And no I didn't. My mother did ask about how I was getting along with you but all I told her was that we had a problem or two at first but Coach Lou straightened us out. She tried to get more out of me but that is all I would say. What did you tell your parents?"

"Pretty much the same thing even thought Mom threatened to call Couch Lou to find out how I was doing."

"Do you think she will?"

"No, but sooner or later I will have to tell her about us, you know."

"Yea, I will too and I am not looking forward to it."

"Me either."

They stopped talking and cuddled for a while until it was time to go to supper and then it was back to schoolwork. From then to Christmas break things got into a routine with their studies, practice, games, and when the day was done they retired to bed. It was then that they talked and made love before falling asleep holding each other. They did have a break from practice during finals but right after that they went back to practice and then they had three away games before they got off for Christmas. On road games, an upper classman was always assigned to the underclassmen so Misty and Jamie were not able to room together. They were only able to find a moment here or there to be alone and never long enough to do more than talk and kiss a moment. The last away game was a tough loss to a team they should have beaten. Coach Lou ripped into them good after the game and told them to come back after Christmas expecting to work hard to try to fix everything that went wrong during this game. To make things worse there were problems with their charter plane and they ended up sitting in the airport for four hours before their plane was able to take off. They did not get back to campus until about eight in the morning. Misty and Jamie were hoping to spend some time together before leaving for home but that went out the window. They just had time to pack and then leave for home.

When Misty got home, her little brother and sister met her when she pulled into her driveway. They helped her get her stuff inside where she was hugged by her mother. When her father got home that night, they all went out for dinner to celebrate Misty's homecoming. She felt good to be at home but as soon as she got home, she called Jamie. They talked for about two hours before calling it a night.

They both had last minute shopping to do and other family obligations so they were not able to get together until Christmas evening. Jamie had called Misty earlier in the afternoon and they arraigned for Misty to come over at seven. As they talked, Jamie heard Misty's brother and sister begging Misty to let them go too but there was no way in hell she was going to let her siblings miss up her time with Jamie. But Jamie told her that the house was full of her relatives so two more would not hurt. They could play with her brother and sister and all the other cousins. Therefore, it ended up great for Misty's family. Her brother and sister got to go somewhere with her and her parents had some time alone. So at six she packed everyone up and left to see Jamie.

When Misty found Jamie's house there were cars everywhere and she had to hunt to find a place to park. As she got out of the car, she saw Jamie at the door waiting for her. They played it cool when Misty got to the door an only if you looked carefully would you see the twinkle in both of their eyes. Jamie ushered them in and she introduced Misty to her mother and father.

Jamie's mother hugged her and her father shook her hand. Then Jamie's mother surprised her by saying, "I have to admit that you are the last person I figured Jamie would be inviting to her house but you are more than welcome here anytime."

"Well I have to admit that if someone had ever told me I would ever want to visit Jamie I would have told them that they were crazy."

They all laughed and about this time all the kids realized that two more kids had arrived so they all came running. All conversation was impossible now and Misty's brother and sister looked to Misty for permission to join them. Misty told them okay but to stay out of trouble. They ran off and Jamie introduced Misty to all of her family members. All of them were surprised to learn that it was Misty that came to see Jamie. They all kept up with Jamie's career and thus all knew about Misty. But she was welcomed with some good-natured kidding. It took Jamie about an hour to get Misty up to her room. As soon as Jamie shut the door, Misty took Jamie into her arms and kissed her.

"God that felt nice." Jamie said as the kiss ended.

"Yes it did. I have been wanting to kiss you since I saw you at the door but I guess discretion is the better part of valor."

"So they say."

Jamie took Misty by the hand and they sat on the edge of the bed and they talked for a while catching up with each other. Then it was time to exchange their presents. Misty got her purse and pulled out a small box and gave it to Jamie. Jamie slowly opened the box as Misty anxiously waited. When she finally got it opened, Jamie pulled out a necklace with a small diamond pendant. Jamie's eyes lit up and she wrapped her arms around Misty and kissed her. She then told her that she loved it. Misty helped Jamie to put it on then it was Jamie's turn. She got up and went to her closet where she pulled out a two-foot square box that she gave to Misty. Misty opened the box to find posters and others things just like the ones she had put up on her side of their dorm room when she and Jamie first roomed together. Jamie waited for Misty to look up and when she saw the surprised expression on Misty's face, Jamie burst out laughing.

"You little bitch!" Misty hollered and then she burst out laughing with Jamie.

After they stopped laughing, Misty spoke up. "Where did you get all this stuff? I thought we threw it away."

"We did, I have spent the last two days going from store to store trying to find all this shit. How you found all this stuff in just a few hours I will never know."

"It serves you right."

Jamie got back up and went to her dresser and pulled out a smaller box that she gave to Misty who tore it opened. Inside she found a small teddy bear and a gold bracelet around its arm. Misty put the bracelet on and then hugged Jamie. They hugged and kissed. When the kiss ended, they kissed again this time with a little more passion. Their hands began to roam as they kissed. Their breathing increased and they got a little braver. Jamie's hand reached under Misty's sweater cupping her breast in her hand. Jamie caressed Misty's breast before finding her nipple tweaking it between her thumb and forefinger. As they kissed and caressed each other, there was a knock on the door. Neither heard it at first but as it grew louder, they heart it. They separated just in time as Jamie's mother opened the door. Misty was just putting her sweater back in place as Jamie's mother looked at her. Both of their faces were flushed and when Jamie's mother saw this, she stopped in her tracks. The room was silent for much too long for Misty's or Jamie's comfort before Jamie's mother finally found her voice.

"Jamie, I was just going to invite both of you down for your father's annual Christmas toast." Jamie's mother said as she quickly made her exit.

"Do you think she knows what we were doing?" Misty asked.

"Oh yes, I think she figured that out real quick."

"I'm sorry."

"Well she was going to find out sooner or later. I guess it turned out to be sooner."

"There is nothing we can do about it now so let's get it together and go down so Pop can make his toast."

They straighten themselves out and then went downstairs to join the rest of Jamie's family. Jamie did not know what to expect but everything seemed normal so she figured that her mother had not said anything to anyone. The rest of the evening went as normal and Misty gathered her brother and sister and left at about ten. She made plans to meet with Jamie the next day before leaving.

Jamie figured that her mom would bring up what she had seen that next morning but she didn't. Jamie knew it was on her mind and she wanted to talk to her mom about it but she did not know how to broach the subject. So she let it go and mid morning she left to meet Misty.

Misty had a number of questions for Jamie when they met at the mall but Jamie had no answers. They talked a while about what to do but not having come up with any good way to talk to their moms about their relationship, they went on to other subjects until Misty's cell phone rang. She answered it to find that it was her mother inviting her and Jamie to lunch. That was the last thing she wanted to do but she did not know how to turn her down so she accepted.

When Misty and Jamie arrived at the restaurant, they were escorted to a back room where they found Misty's mom talking to Jamie's mom. They stopped in their tracks and looked at each other in shock. They both just knew that Jamie's mom had called Misty's mom about what she had seen them doing. After hesitating a moment they went on to the table where their moms were waiting.

Misty introduced Jamie to her mother and they sat down. As they ordered something to drink and eat, Misty's mom told the two girls that she had contacted Jamie's mom right after they had gone to college. They quickly became friends and were thus better able to keep up with what was happening with their girls. Misty and Jamie did not really like this idea of their moms swapping information and each wondered what the other had told their mom. Both moms talked as they ate and when the food was gone Misty's mom asked what sounded like an innocent question but Misty wondered how innocent it really was.

"Misty, you and Jamie becoming good friends has come as a surprise to both of us and we know there has to be a story behind it so would you care to let us know."

Misty looked at Jamie wondering what to tell them and how much they both already knew or thought they knew. She felt Jamie take her hand under the table and she felt Jamie squeeze it. She knew Jamie was giving her permission to tell it all.

"Well that is a very interesting and a very long story."

From there she preceded to tell them about their summer and them having to room together beginning with the fall semester. This shocked both of their moms as both Jamie and Misty had told their mothers that they were rooming with someone else. She told them about their arraignment so that they would only one of them would be in the room at the same time except when they were sleeping. From there Misty told them about their fight in exacting detail describing every blow. Misty and Jamie laughed when they saw the look of horror on their mom's faces. From there she described the running Coach Lou made them do. Misty then got serious as she told them how they talked and eventually decided that they did not really hate each other. Misty went on to tell them about slowly becoming better and better friends. Misty then took a deep breath and finished her story.

"Jamie and I eventually discovered that love and hate are more similar than most people think. They are both very strong emotions. We started out hating each other and ended up falling in love with each other."

With that, she pulled her hand that was still holding Jamie's hand from under the table and placed it on top of the table.
