Mind Over Matter: Young The Giant

"Cheater." I walk over to the basketball hoop.

"What?" Clark anxiously looks at me.

"Even a baby knows you don't make a shot from there, Kent. The hell are you doing?"

"That's for me to know and for you to wonder."

"You're not worth wondering about." I cross my arms.

"Ouch." Clark mocks.

I grab the ball and throw it at his chest. "Huh." I nod as the ball bounces off his chest and hits the ground. "Nothing?"

"I could fall to my knees and beg for mercy if you'd like."

"Nah, I'm still keeping that card in my back pocket." I mock a grin.

Clark scoffs. "What do I owe this displeasure?"

"Open your hand."

"What? Why?"

"Just do it."

"What-"

"Fine, guess you'll never know." I shrug and start to walk.

"Wait." Clark calls out and I grin before I turn, now walking back over to him.

He exhales before holding out his hand. I now bring my hand up and close his eyes, making him chuckle. I smirk before pulling it out from my pocket. I place it into his hand before covering it with his fingers.

"Okay, your highness." I place my hands in the pockets of my sweatpants.

He opens his eyes and lifts his fingers up. "For some strange reason, I'm intrigued."

"Don't be. Just had it with me for years. Thought it would fit you." I shrug.

"Funny, I picture you wearing these."

"Nah." I pull out my silver and gold chain from the inside of my black t-shirt.

"Ah, chains. Cool."

"I know." I take the black ring from him and slip it on his left index finger. "It fits?"

"Yeah." Clark fiddles with it.

"Don't lie to me, Kent."

"No, it fits. I like it. Thanks." He nods.

"Good." I nod back and walk over to get the basketball.

"You know, I gotta say, you've definitely upped your style since last year."

"For better or for worse?" I dribble the wall before shooting it. I exhale as it goes through the hoop.

"Hey!" Pete shouts before honking the horn and I grab the basketball off the ground.
