THE CONQUEST LIST CHAPTER TEN
THE TESTTHE DANCE FLOOR, THE BRAVES CLUB, 7PM.Blinking repeatedly, Robin answered while stammering, "What, what do you mean by fall in love with you? You're not my type and I don't even remember agreeing to be your date, okay,""Okay, so will you be my date for tonight and may I have this dance?" Andrew asked with a sincere smile and his right hand stretched out."Sure, Mr. Andrew Alexander Grey," she answered with a smile and placed her hand in his.Leading her to the dance floor, Andrew ignored the gasps of shock coming from the crowd.All he could see was Robin in her beautiful short black dress with her red hair catching all the lights and flaming like fire over her shoulders.He stared into her ocean eyes as they took their place in the middle of the dance floor. Sounds of photographs being taken was heard in the entire room, but that was none of his concern, his entire attention was on the beauty before him."I'm really nervous I've never waltzed in public or attended this sor

ALMOST KISSFIRST FLOOR, THE BRAVES CLUB, 9:45PM.The match was quite tough as both Andrew and Robin were pros in virtual football."Yes, yes, yes! I'm so beating your ass," Robin screamed as she scored her first goal before the half time and bumped her shoulder with Andrew, which had him saying with a frown."Oh yeah, let's see about that in the next half, it's just 1-0, I'll definitely win at the end.""Tough luck there man, I don't think so," she replied as they continued with the second half and at the end of it all, it was a tie with a score of 1-1."I really hate losing, but I guess having a draw is not so bad anyway and just so you know, I went easy on you," Andrew said as he sat and took a sip of the mineral water on his desk."Whatever, we are equals at the game. I remember you promised to tell me about Jenna, so spill. She's so beautiful, I mean what happened between you guys, why did you break up. Just feel free and talk about it, this will probably be the last time we have

HOSPITAL ROOMTHE BRAVES CLUB, 10:25PM."Robin, wait please!" Andrew yelled again and at this point everyone started murmuring about what was happening.Just as he made a move to follow Robin, Jenna took a hold of his forearm. "Where do you think you going Andrew?" She asked in a tight voice, conscious of how everyone was watching them."Jenna, I don't answer to you or anyone else. Wherever I'm going has absolutely nothing to do with you, got it?" He answered as he ran out after Robin, without sparing her another glance."Andrew, get back here this minute. Andrew!" Jenna yelled, but he was long gone.John who had been sitting with Robin also followed after her when Andrew ran after her.Taking a microphone, Jenna stepped up to the stage and said, "Everyone, feel free to continue with the party, while my boyfriend rewards Robin Stevens for her help in clearing things up in our relationship. There's no problem, the donation for The Braves Club will start now."Joe came up to her as she

EAVESDROPPINGJACK'S HOSPITAL ROOM, 11:30PM"I'm just kidding, I'm only here because I feel totally responsible for Jack. I hit him while drunk driving and I want to give my apologies to him myself, that's what a real man will do," Andrew replied with a proud look across his face."So it's now you wanna be a real man and own up to your actions huh?" Robin said in a slightly raised tone."Keep it down, we don't wanna wake Jack up, now do we?" Andrew warned her."Whatever, just leave. You're free to come back tomorrow to visit.""No thanks, I'm staying here tonight, besides nine of the guys will be home, they never come home after a party, if you know what I mean," Andrew said with a playful smile."You guys are just players. I don't remember asking about your friends nightly activities," Robin answered to which Andrew replied with a laugh.Silence fell upon the room and thirty minutes later, Robin found her eyes feeling too heavy to stay open and finally she fell asleep at Jack's bedsi

THE FOUR RULES.BUTTERFLY LODGE, 7PM.The sound of a knock at the door had Robin getting up from the couch where she sat, working on her game for The Braves.Opening up the door, a brunette of average height and electric-blue eyes, in a white sweat shirt and pink jeans, stared back at her with her hands raising in a wave."Hi, you must be Robin, I'm Stacey Anne Waters, your roommate," the girl said."Hello Stacey, it's a pleasure meeting you. Come on in, I'll help you unpack your things. It's been really boring here and it's great to finally have another person in this room," Robin replied as she drew her closer for a hug."Me too, there's also another girl who'd be joining us next week,""Really, wow that's great. What's her name?""Clara Peters, she's in her second year, studying Computer Science. Oh my, I'm so tired," Stacey replied as she took a seat on one of the couches in their tiny but cozy self contained flat.Much later after Stacey had taken a shower and they had unpacked h

FAMILYANDREW'S SEDAN, 9PM."Why aren't you saying anything? I want to know why you've been playing Mr. nice guy for the past two weeks. I've only tolerated it because of Jack, but now he's gone, so you don't have to pretend to be nice. When we get to my lodge, I'd appreciate it if you left me alone and never showed your face to me anymore, got it?""What do you mean by Mr. nice guy? I was only helping Jack out, it was my fault for putting him in that condition, it's only natural that I show my kindness to him and as for leaving you alone, that's not happening, since you're feeling bad about Jack leaving, I'd take you somewhere. Get ready to meet my family," Andrew replied with a short laugh as he turned the car to the right and stepped on the accelerator which had Robin yelling at him to slow down."What family? I don't want to meet your family okay, so turn the car around you're supposed to be taking me home and not to visit anyone!""Too late we're almost there, remember Benny from

THE KISSTHE BROWN HOUSE, 11:30AM.Stepping into the room after Andrew, Robin took note of the casual design of the room, with the walls painted blue and regular bedroom furniture in place."Hey Cousin, Sophie, how are you?" Andrew asked, pulling a blonde, tall and lanky guy who had on a bright smile at their entrance, into a tight hug. She concluded he was Riley, as he looked almost the same as in the family portraits. Andrew waved at a tall and slender raven haired girl, who she guessed must be Sophie."I'm good as always, Drew. Now who do we have here, huh?" Riley replied.Taking Robin by the waist and planting a kiss on her cheeks, he replied, "This is the reason for my happiness these days, my girlfriend, Robin Jane Stevens. Robin, meet my crazy but best cousin ever, Riley Brown and the love of his life, Sophie Richard."Playing along with him and deciding not to flinch at his kiss on her cheeks, Robin forced a smile and stretched out her hands to shake both of them and the sound

MAKING DECISIONS,BUTTERFLY LODGE, 7PM.Stacey opened up the door for Robin to come in and asked, "What happened, why did you come back so late? Classes ended about two hours ago, I asked John and he also had no idea where you had gone.""I'm sorry to have gotten you all worked up. After Andrew and I dropped Jack off, he took me over to his uncle's house," Robin answered as she took off her wristwatch and shoes."What did you say? He took you to his Uncle's house?""Yeah and you know what's worse he introduced me to them as his girlfriend, I don't even like this guy, so how could I possibly be his girlfriend?""That's not what you're portraying, you know?" Stacey asked with a teasing look."What do you mean?""All you've been doing for the past two weeks is talking about him and what he did. Look don't get me wrong, I know Andrew very well, he might seem like a bad guy, given his previous reputation with girls, but I really don't think he's playing around this time.""Why not?""He ha

ONCE AGAINTWO YEARS LATER...ACHIEVERS UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, 2 PMROBIN'S POVPaying the designated driver, I got out of the car with my handbag and waited for him to get the rest of my luggage from the car trunk.After ensuring that all my things were out, I thanked him before he drove off.Looking at the environment around me, I smiled as I took in the beautiful decorations of AUT. The beauty of this college seemed to have augmented since the last time I was here two years ago.After admiring the college entrance for about two full minutes, I took out my phone to call Stacey. She and I were still in touch even though I was away in London for the past two years.The previous week when I informed her of the fact that I was done with the graphic designing training that Uncle Joe had enrolled me for and that I was gonna be coming back to AUT, she had screamed in unconcealed excitement and promised to pick me up at the school gate when I arrived.When she had said that, I had asked

RINGS AND KNIVESTHE BEEHIVE ARENA, 12 NOON."Yes, you heard me correctly guys, Robin is more qualified than anyone else to play for us in virtual football. I got to know about her amazing skills on the night of our app launch party. She and I played together and she almost beat me, in fact, we eventually settled at equal scores. I think she was going easy on me that night. You know me, I'm not the type to admit that anyone else is better than me, so it takes a lot of courage for me to give Robin this role. If there's anyone who isn't in support of this, please indicate," Andrew said seriously."Jack has told me about her amazing skills, but I never thought she could beat you at your best sport, Drew. If you think she's good, then she must be." Miller teased while laughing."Shut up Mill," Joe playfully hit Miller's shoulder while laughing."Team leaders from The Gators, The Believe Team and Team Ice, please bring your players to the tournament corner. The tournament for third place w

ROBIN?"And 1. Programmers, please proceed. You have thirty-five minutes to finish all fifty questions. Remember to use at least forty seconds for each question," Alan announced.The Bravers as well as other teams quickly gathered around three computers and started working on the first ten questions.Andrew sat in front of the system for problem-solving while the other Bravers sat behind the two other systems for offence and defence."It seems like Andrew Grey's team are more relaxed this year and their speed this time is also very good," Linda, one of the commentators remarked."Yes, you're right Linda. Oh, wait, it seems like Team Ice is trying to launch an attack on The Braves, but of cause they are quick enough to defend it. It seems like The Bravers came in very prepared!" Alex, the other commentator replied.Robin watched Andrew from where she and the other Bravers sat and never before had she felt so tensed. She watched the frown of concentration on Andrew's face as he solved t

COMPETITIVE PROGRAMMINGTHE BEEHIVE ARENA, 11 PM"Why do I feel like Max is gonna retaliate violently?" Robin asked fearfully.The look Andrew gave her had her shivering on the inside."He can't do anything, don't worry about him," Andrew replied, holding her hand."Okay ladies and gentlemen, with that settled, I believe we can all continue with the competition. Bravers, you're free to go back to your seats, thank you. We've wasted enough time indeed," Vanessa said after The Storm Team alongside Harry was led out of the arena."Now that The Storm Team is out of the competition, we have only nine teams left. Jeffery Michaels will give us a report on the top leaders of the first round. This round has a total of thirty points and the next one has a total of forty points. Any team that fails to make up to fifty points from the first two rounds added together, would not qualify for the final round. Are you guys excited to find out which team has won this popularity round?" Alan asked."Yes

DISQUALIFIEDTHE BRAVES WAITING ROOM, 10:40 AM"You guys can't let this happen to me. Andrew, you can't let them take me away. I've been your friend for such a long time, you can't do this to me!" Harry shouted as the security guards took him by the arms and dragged him away."What do you think they're gonna do to him?" Robin asked I'm fear."It's definitely gonna be what he deserves," Roberto replied.★★★★★THE BEEHIVE ARENAMax Reed was also dragged up to the stage for questioning and Camila couldn't sit put while her nephew was being maltreated, so she stood up and asked, "Who do you think you're dragging that way? Max is my nephew and I have the feeling that he has been set up by someone. I'm sure that Robin Stevens must have set Max up, she was the one who sold those ideas to him. There must be a mix up somewhere!""Miss Reed I advise you to have your seat and stop giving those remarks. We all just saw the video where your nephew and another student from AUT was talking about how

DAY 1 ONCE AGAINTHE BRAVES WAITING ROOM, 10:00 AMRobin stepped back from Harry and said, "Let's all go out now. It's 10:00 AM already."Why didn't I get a hug?" Harry frowned."That's because you don't deserve it," Robin replied tartly."Ladies and gentlemen, we welcome you once again to The Regional Gaming Competition. As you all know, the competition was scheduled for last week, but due to some misunderstandings, it had to be postponed to this week. Who is excited?" Alan's voice came booming from all the speakers in the arena."I am!" The fans replied, excitedly."The competition has started, can you please keep quiet?" Robin frowned and then all The Bravers focused their attention on the large LED TV in the room, which showed what was happening on stage.★★★★★★THE BEEHIVE ARENA, 10:02 AMThe fans showed their excitement when the camera focused on their corner as they sprayed confetti and raised thundersticks to cheer their preferred teams on. Some even raised banners with the na

PAPER BAGS AND GUMMY BEARSTHE BEEHIVE ARENA, 9:30 AM"Babe, check out who's here to cheer us on!" Andrew said with a smile when Robin opened the door of the room reserved for her in the arena.The competition was to begin in thirty minutes time and all gamers had been given rooms to rest and practice in.She had been working on her increasing the speed of her programming skills. The previous day after the meeting, Harry left, saying he could practice well enough on his own.That left Andrew ensuring that all The Bravers played virtual football matches against one another in pairs. They also made some amendments to Campus Silence, Love Run and SAFE.Robin was indeed tired due to the constant training sessions they all went through all night long and now even with bags under her eyes, she was still very much excited to compete."Who is it?" She asked while rubbing her eyes tiredly after letting Andrew in.Jack then walked into the room with a huge smile and said in a rush, "Hi my cutes

REVELATIONSANDREW'S APARTMENT, 12:30 PM"What do you think? Of course, you have to apologize to her. I told you she was innocent, but you just won't listen," Stanley said.Looking down at her phone with a smile, Robin read the text message Andrew sent to her.MESSAGE DETAILS: Get everyone seated, we're in the parking lot now. Harry shouldn't suspect anything when we walk into the house."Okay, Riley, Gabe, Sophie and Brie, you all have to go downstairs. Andrew and Harry will be here any minute from now. Everyone, please be quiet, okay?" Robin told them all.After they had all relaxed in their seats and pretended like they were discussing other club related matters, Andrew and Harry walked into the room.Fiddling with his glasses, Harry said, "Sorry that I'm late guys. So what system do I use? I think we need to work on our speed first. I noticed most of us are quite slow in comparison with the other teams."Taking a seat in the swivel chair with President written on it, Andrew replie

DEALSANDREW'S APARTMENT, 12PMRobin spent the rest of the morning after church, preparing light snacks and refreshments for The Bravers alongside Sophie and Gabrielle.The rest of Andrew's family had gone home to rest so that they could make it early to The Beehive Arena, the next day for the competition."You see how good they turned out? I told you I make the best hors d'oeuvres in New York City," Gabrielle bragged."Oh please Brie, my cupcakes taste much better than your ridiculous h'ors d'oeuvres which I just can't stop eating," Robin retorted before sneaking another samosa into her mouth."Why do you keep eating them then?" Gabrielle laughed.Beating Robin's hand, Sophie said, "You think her hors d'oeuvres are ridiculous, but you keep eating them. At this rate, there'd be nothing left for us to serve the club members.""Ouch that hurt, Soph. You're just jealous because you haven't been away to eat any of hers yet. I love your punch and cocktails though, the taste is very differe
