Chapter 1834

Debra flinched at his rasp.

Drake paused, wondering if he had gone too far.

Then he nodded, believing so. This wasn't the full-fledged Debra he knew. It was just another regular girl.

He frowned, unsure how to communicate with normal girls. Her scared look rattled him even more.

"Yo, that's not how you chase a girl," a guy said, slinging an arm around Drake.

"Debra's a catch, but you're coming on way too strong," another added.

They acted like they were old friends with Drake, but he wasn't having it.

"Hands off," he said coldly.

"No need to play shy. We're all guys," one of them said. "If you're into her, we'll help out. Let's hit the court later. My treat at the cafeteria tonight."

Drake had zero interest in their frat-boy energy. In the two minutes he wasted on them, Debra vanished. His mood soured. He shook off their hands, ready to ditch, but the guy grabbed him again. "Don't bail." They dragged him along.

Drake sulked at the nonsense. Playing basketball with college students was childish enough. Besides, the court sulked.

The basketball court was shared by both students and faculty. It was considered one of the best in Seamar City. But since it was the start of the school year, there were a lot of freshmen coming to play basketball.

Some guys quickly grabbed the best spots, waving at him. "Prime spot. Hard to come by."

Drake snorted. 'Cramped, open-air, and beat-up gear?'

He was glad he'd skipped college, but then again, it was a dream. He could have a bit of students' joy.

He grabbed the ball, broke the defense in seconds, and dunked without breaking a sweat.

The others watched with their mouths agape.

"What the hell?"

"Bro, you're national team material."

"First time I've seen a dunk."
