“Since the J-stars came into this school. Other basketball players could not beat them but you. You just came and you already have a draw with them. Tell me, what charm did you use?” Mark asked.“When you have all it takes to win and you are determined, you will definitely win. I was told you were their captain. Well, I must say that you are not fit to be one as your hatred for them keeps getting in your way of thinking. Always wanting to make them lose.” Christian replied and stepped forward before him. They were now closer.“Your desire to see them lose was greater than your desire to win.” Christian said and was about to walk away.Mark chuckled and said, “I don’t care about that. For as long as you are able to beat them hands down.”“We have no enmity between us.” Christian stated before walking off.“I don’t think that will last long.” Mark said and smirked.“J-Stars has finally found their match.” He said and laughed humorlessly. Crystal and Elli
**Four days later** “Christian, Jayson, Matt, Jake and Jasper will be the one representing us.” The coach announced. They all nodded their in agreement. “Since tomorrow is the day, go rest and prepare to win.” He urged them. They all smiled tiredly and went to sit down. “So we will be facing Scholars high tomorrow?” Jeremy asked. “Yeah.” “But that does not mean we won't have our practice.” Jace said. “Bring success to us, Jayson and Jake.” Jeremy said while patting their shoulders. They nodded their head at him. “Hey, babes.” Julia hollered at the twins. They both looked up from the plate of shrimps that was placed in front of them. “This extra curriculum activities be taking people time.” She complained as she took her seat. “Yeah.” They chorused and nodded their head in agreement. “So, what’s popping?” She said making the ‘pop’ sound. “Nothing. Just alone.” Ellie said as she tiredly picked a shrimp and ate. “Have you guys seen the news?” Julia asked
**Next day**The D-day already arrived. The players that would be representing the school woke up as early as possible to revise their whole tactics.During the time of their practice, Christian and Jayson had always contradicted themselves causing the entire group confusion.They almost got into a fight but the coach was quick to separate them.He was even having double thought on Christian being part of the group of players but what could he have done.Christian had the determination and you could see it in his eyes while Jayson had intention and you could see it in his character. The intention to always win. The determination to beat them hands down.It was hard choosing a captain. Christian and Jayson were both dominant males. You could see a cloud of authority over them.Finally, he chose Jayson since Christian was new to their way of playing. But then he made an exception, he said they could work hands in hands which was nearly impossible.They wore their outfits and matched w
He smiled gently.“Thanks.” He muttered and collected it from Ellie. “Congratulations.” She said smiling.“Thanks.” He said again as he drank more water.“Will leave you to rest.” She said and left in her cheerleading outfit. Jake walked over to Jayson and they shook hands.“Congratulations to us.” Jake said and sat down beside him.“Yeah.” Jayson said and they both looked at how the entire school was happy.~•~•~•~•~•~•~Mark stood there trembling in anger. He did not expect that last collab between Jayson and Christian. He never did. The thought never came across his mind. “Foolish.” He kicked his leg against something angrily and walked away.“Congratulations, Jake.” Crystal said. Jake turned towards her and smiled.“Thanks and thanks to you also for cheering me.” He said politely. A blush crept on her cheeks.“It is nothing.” She replied and walked off happily.“Jayson, congratulations.” Shawna praised him. He looked away from her and ignored her.“I am tire
**Next Morning**“Ellie, for goodness sake. What is it that you have been doing?” Elsa asked.Ellie has been in the bathroom for the past one hour and still counting. Ellie started whistling as she scrubbed her body with the sponge.“Elsa, I will soon be out.” She yelled.“Be quick. I really want to use the bathroom.” Elsa said impatiently touching her abdomen.After some minutes, Ellie stepped out of the bathroom and without further discussion, Elsa hurriedly ran into the bathroom. She emptied everything that had been stored up. She heaved a sigh of relief and smiled.Ellie watched her sister rush in. She shook her head and went towards the dressing mirror.After a while, Elsa came out also wrapped in a towel. She hurriedly used the lotion and wore her clothes. At this time Ellie already wore hers and was combing her hair.Ellie went over to a corner and picked her shoes, she wore it and buckled up the lace.Elsa finished wearing her clothes and using lotion. She wore her shoes also
**Evening**“We will be taking a total of 75 students.” The principal said and disappointment crossed the faces of the students.They had been called to the announcement hall in order tell them about the fun fair they would be going for.“But that does not mean that the students here won't have anything doing.” He said.“They would be free for the week. They will also engage in lively activities. We are only going out of the school premises for some time to celebrate our win and also to help relieve to some examination fevers.” He explained.“Students that will be going will be called, understood?” He asked.“Yes, Sir.” They replied.“Good.” He said.“You can leave.” He said and they all walked out.“Elsa, where have you been?” Ellie asked her sister as soon as she entered their room. She ran towards her and held her hands.“I was summoned by the principal and guess what? I was chosen as part of the people that will be going.” She said and Ellie's hands that were on he
“Aria, You did not get chosen?” Ellie asked surprised.“Yeah. Guess I was unfortunate.” Aria said and forced a smile.“So where are you off to?” She asked.“Café and after that I will be studying with Jake.” She said and Aria's face brightened up.“Jake?” She asked with an undertone of surprise.“Yeah, just now he asked if we could study together and I agreed, not like I have any other thing to do anyways.” Ellie said. “Can I join?” Aria asked.“Sure.” Ellie replied.“Then let's go have breakfast.” Ellie urged her. They smiled at each other and started walking towards the café.“Hey.” Jake said as he pulled out a chair and took a seat beside Ellie.“Hmm.” Ellie nodded at him as she was about taking a bite out of her hamburger.He smiled at her and turned to look at the person that was sitting with them. Aria smiled a little. He only nodded his head and his stomach rumbled which made a sound.Ellie giggled and Jake looked at her accusingly. He stood up quickly and w
“You can all alight from the bus.” The principal declared. The students stood up and carefully alighted.“You all are with your whistle, right?” He asked again.“Yeah.” Some said while others nodded.“Move.” He said and started going in the woods. They got to a clearing. Their tents has been tied up and other things have been put to place.They really put so much efforts.“Since it is evening already. Let’s all take a rest and also don’t forget your partner.” The vice principal said. There were so many tents.“Wow. Look it’s indicated which tent will we be staying in.” A student said and they went in search of their tent.“So did these people realize that I was paired with a guy?” Elsa asked no one in particular.“You can stay in the tent. I will stay just right outside here.” Jayson said from behind her and pointed towards a brick. Elsa looked at him.“Such a gentleman but I don’t think it is necessary. All we will just have to do is tell the authorities.” She said. Jayson scoffed at
