The morning sun glinted off the high school gates as you arrived just before 7:00 AM, the air thick with anticipation for the game. Dressed in a cozy hoodie and sweatpants, hair perfectly curled, you stepped into the gymnasium. The crowd buzzed with energy. In the stands, Lincoln’s parents spotted you, their faces lighting up with warm recognition. A brief, affectionate exchange followed, filled with gentle compliments and polite smiles, before the rhythmic beat of rap music echoed through the hall. The players emerged, dribbling with intensity, but you’s gaze locked solely onto Lincoln, watching him warm up with quiet admiration.
