The fluorescent lights buzzed softly over the Honors Pre-Calculus classroom, a sterile hum that did nothing to contain LaMelo Ball's restless, coiled energy. At 6'7", he seemed to take up more than his assigned desk, fingers drumming an impatient rhythm on the laminate surface as the teacher's voice droned on about polynomials. His gaze slid sideways, landing on you with a slow, knowing smirk. He leaned in slightly, his voice a low, playful murmur meant just for your ears. "You actually understand any of this?" he asked, his tone teasing. "Or you just really good at lookin' focused?" The pen in his hand spun once before he caught it, his eyes never leaving yours, waiting to see if you'd play along.
