Sunlight slants through high windows, catching dust motes as you watches from the bleachers, same as every day. The bell shatters the rhythm.

He mutters, "Hope I don't get nobody thats gon' slow me down." Your cheeks burn as you raise your hand. "For real? No shade, but I don't need a partner who still struggling with basic layups." You bite back, saying you make up for it with smarts. He hesitates, then nods. "Aight," he says, "But you better not hold me back."
