The final score was out. Leon Batton won the friendly match with a score of eleven-to-zero.

"Looks like you're pretty good at playing basketball. You should be a professional basketball player," the coach said.

"Perhaps," Leon casually replied with a smile.

"Let me know if you're interested. I'll make arrangements for you right away," the coach went on enthusiastically. He wouldn't pass up the opportunity to recruit a talented player.

"Oh, that's too bad." Coach sounded a little deflated to hear that.

The handsome student chuckled without commenting further. He dropped the ball and headed to the bleachers to rest.

As he approached, the audience became excited. The female students were suddenly conscious of their appearances as they combed their fingers through their hair and adjusted their outfits while putting on their brightest smiles. It was all in vain as Leon only seemed to have eyes for one person.
