As promised, Alexis joined Stephen as his trusted companion. As they arrived at the camp, the air buzzed with anticipation. With his hand over her shoulder, Stephen walked with Alexis so he could introduce her to his fellow athletes and coaches, "Hey everyone, I'd like you to meet Alexis! A neurosurgeon in the making. Pretty impressive, huh?"

Alexis couldn't help but roll her eyes playfully at Stephen's introduction, feeling a mix of amusement and slight embarrassment.

"Wow, a future neurosurgeon! That's incredible! We're lucky to have you here with us." Some one said

"Yeah, I mean it's not every day we get to meet someone aiming for such important goals" the other said causing everyone to let out a chuckle. Alexis smiled at their warm welcome. The athletes continued to welcome Alexis warmly. 

Throughout the day, Alexis watched Stephen in action, marvelling at his skills on the court. She witnessed his dedication, discipline, and the way he seamlessly integrated with his teammates. It was clear that basketball was not just a game for Stephen; it was a true expression of his character and his desire to make a positive impact.

As Alexis observed Stephen's performance on the basketball court, the way he approached the game with dedication, discipline, and a genuine love for basketball ignited a spark of curiosity within her.

She found herself drawn to the players, the strategic movements, and the seamless coordination among teammates. The vibrant atmosphere of the court, filled with the sounds of sneakers squeaking, the rhythmic dribbling of the ball, all that fuelled her interest. She saw how each player brought their unique skills and strengths to contribute to the collective effort. The camaraderie and support demonstrated by Stephen's teammates,seeing Stephen's ability to inspire those around him.

As the day progressed at the basketball camp, Alexis engaged in conversations with Stephen's teammates, coaches, and other basketball enthusiasts. She eagerly absorbed their insights, learning about the strategy, teamwork dynamics, and the mental fortitude required to excel in the sport. The more she immersed herself in the basketball world, the more Alexis appreciated its profound influence on personal growth, resilience, and the pursuit of excellence. It was a captivating blend of athleticism, strategy, and teamwork that resonated deeply with her own values and aspirations.

"Wow, I take it someone is having a great time" Steph said coming over to sit next to her

Alexis chuckled, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "You know what? I must admit, I'm actually having a fantastic time. This basketball world is quite something. The passion, the drive, the camaraderie—it's all so inspiring."

Stephen smiled, pleased to see Alexis embracing the experience.

"I'm glad to hear that. It's amazing how sports can bring people together and ignite a fire within. Who knows, maybe you'll become a basketball fan by the end of this!"

Alexis playfully nudged him, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Let's not get ahead of ourselves. But I must admit, I'm becoming quite intrigued. Maybe you can teach me a thing or two."

Stephen grinned; his enthusiasm contagious. "Absolutely! I'd be more than happy to show you the ropes Doc. And maybe you can teach me about the brain as I show you the world of basketball"

Alexis nodded, a genuine smile spreading across her face."Instead of me teaching you about the brain, how about you help me with my college set dilemma because I need to be done with that by end of this month of August" Stephen chuckled, appreciating Alexis's playful approach to their mutual exchange of knowledge and support. "Deal Doc, Consider me your official college set consultant. We'll make sure everything is sorted out before the end of this month."
