FAST CARSLOVERS NIGHT CLUB, NEW YORK. 9PMThe smell of booze and sweat dripping off the youngsters on the dance floor hit Drew's nose as he stepped into the night club with Jenna Lincoln, his latest girlfriend at his side. Jenna hated parties, but Drew loved them.They had been dating for a month now and Drew was fed up with her likes and dislikes, she had insisted on not coming but Drew had forced her to as it was his best friend, Evans Black's twenty first birthday party and everyone present was ready to get wasted and party hard till midnight. The club was filled with drunk and energetic young adults grinding against each other in tune with the music blaring from the speakers.He had arrived later because of a business dinner he had to attend with his father at their family hotel, The Grey Hotel And Suites. The dinner was extremely boring and he couldn't wait to get to the party, having left the gathering with the excuse of a headache he quickly drove to Jenna's apartment and pick

THE DARE.ANDREW'S HOUSE, NEW YORK CITY, 7:00 AM.The sound of his cellphone ringing had Drew waking from his deep slumber. With his eyes still closed, he answered the call with a swipe across the screen without checking the caller info."Yes, Andrew Grey speaking," he answered with a dull voice, his head was aching and he was extremely hungover."Hey Drew, why aren't you in class already. Professor Baldwin is extremely mad," came the voice of his assistant, Harry.Harry was a serious-minded and total nerd kind of guy with the glasses and everything but Drew liked him because he always helped out whenever he screwed things up, he guessed he could call him his lifesaver.With that Drew stood up in alarm, he was the course representative of Programming 202. No matter how much he partied, he never missed a class."Just tell him I'll be there soon. I and the guys went out last night for Evans party and we had too much to drink." He could just imagine Harry frown as he said that, he had ne

APOLOGIESGREEN HOSPITAL, 8 PMRobin Jane Stevens sat beside her brother who remained unconscious on the hospital bed in the ward where lots of other patients were receiving treatment.She couldn't help but feel angry at herself for making him this way, if only she was fast enough to come out of the lodge to receive him at his arrival, he wouldn't have been at the mercy of that egotistic jerk.Thinking of Andrew Grey made her blood boil, he was extremely obnoxious and insufferable. She had never met anyone who had no regard for others like him before. He treated the accident as though he had merely stepped on an ant and not almost killed her brother, her only close relative.The fact that Jack had almost died brought tears to her eyes and she wondered how long he was going to remain unconscious and how she was going to cover the hospital bills."There was no way she was going to make use of that bastard's money, she had dignity and would get her revenge, nobody messed with her and got

DINNER AND INTERROGATIONS.BUTTERFLY LODGE, ROBIN'S FLAT, 9 PM.Taking off her shoes and dropping her keys on the table next to the mirror, Robin flopped unto her soft bed. It had been a long day and her mind was filled with various thoughts.She had just got back to her room after visiting Jack and before she left she had asked for the papers concerning the hospital bills but had been told it had been covered by an anonymous person, so she just concluded it was Joe who paid it.She turned on her mobile data and scrolled through the school's gossip forum, where details about everything going on around campus was posted by students. She frowned as she sighted a picture of her pointing at Drew together with his friends earlier that morning.She quickly read the post which said: "Campus God, Andrew Grey Takes Advantage Of Helpless Student And Gets Embarrassed In Public."After reading the remaining details, which was nothing but made up stories, she wondered who could have posted such a

THE PLOTHARVEY SNACKS DINER, 10PM"Look, you guys have to relax. I'd like to finish my food first before sharing my brilliant idea," Miller said with a goofy grin."Sure, Einstein," Evans replied.They all ate their food in silence and all the while, Robin couldn't help but notice Drew's burning haze on her as she ate, so she decided to avoid meeting his eyes and pinned all her attention on her pizza slice.After they had all eaten, Miller cleared his throat dramatically and started, "So as I said already, I have the feeling that the culprit is a female and is probably doing this out of spite or under the instructions of someone. So I will simply hack into the account used in the post and get the contact details and...""What? No you will not, I think that is just going too far," Evans protested."Can you be silent while the master speaks?" Miller asked in a fake annoyed tone. He could be described as the smartest one out of the four of them, as he was experienced in anything related

ENCOUNTERS AND FIGHTSDEPARTMENT OF GRAPHIC DESIGNING, 7 AM.Leaving the Calculus 108 lecture room, Robin sighted John Davis Stacks from the Stacks family, popular for making designer shoes and bags, the only friend she had in the entire school.They had been classmates in a prestigious high school, where she studied as a scholarship student, Jack had always been nice and they became friends when he transferred from his previous school to hers in senior high. He had done a lot for her in the three and half years of them knowing each other.He was a tall, slightly tanned, handsome and muscular guy, a fashion designing student in his first level. He had on a blue, long sleeved shirt which he rolled up at the sleeves and white jeans with white sneakers, which was one of the shoes designed from his family's shoe line.""Hello John, how are you doing?" she asked from behind him."How am I doing? You've got to be kidding me. I just saw the post Rob, how could you not tell me about somethin

GOING SHOPPINGPENNY'S CAFE, ACHIEVERS UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, 8 AM."Grey, don't you think this time you went a little too far, how could accuse Robin of scheming the entire accident, I know her very well, she would never risk the life of her brother for any reason. What happened was accidental and what you were supposed to do as a decent person, which you're not, was to help them to the hospital at least...," John was saying before Andrew cut him off."Hold it there Stacks, you have absolutely no right to yell at me, got it and you ocean eyes, I see you have a fan club already, everyone thinks I'm the bad guy now, huh? Is Stacks also one of the brainless guys you've captured under your spell?""No one is under any spell here, you're just being a big bully, you think you own everyone just because you're rich? Anyways, Miller hasn't given me any more info as regards our plan, so what else do I have to do?" Robin demanded calmly, despite how much she wanted to yell at him.Just as An

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.

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
