Highschool Elimination

#14 - Alright, Bet!

Although the yellow team was inevitably eliminated yesterday, they'd still be getting another night to stay. So, after the game ended, and the students got cleaned up, Hannah was feeling a little generous, and decided to treat the 3 teams with some ice cream. Of course, they enjoyed the treat as it was especially really hot that day.

"I guess competing in challenges every day must be tiring for you", said Lily. "Well, that's why we'll be giving you a day off tomorrow, and we have a special activity for the green and blue team.", Hannah told them which made them really excited. Of course, the yellow team was a bit down that they failed so close to the end. "I'm sorry yellow team that you didn't get to go, so think of the ice cream as a consolation prize.", Lily comforted them. "So, yellow team, please pack your bags while you have time because you'll be picked up at 10am tomorrow.", Hannah said before the students went back to the dorms. Although the yellow team wasn't very happy to be eliminated, they still wanted to stay a little longer. Therefore, the students spent their 2 hour before dinner playing boardgames. "What game should we play here?", Alex asked before Jamie suggested, "What about game of life? I've never played it." Everyone then seemed interested as it was their first time ever getting involved in such plethora of boardgames.

"Alrighty, I'm cool with that.", said Alice before Amelia nodded. "Well, I'm a little irritated that you got away scotch free this afternoon, Jamie.", Connor said in an envious voice. "Well, how about this? Let's bet. The loser among us will get absolutely messed up tomorrow by the remaining winners, how about that?", Jamie gave Connor the offer with a devilish voice. "Alright, bet!", Connor exclaimed joyfully. "Does anyone else wanna join?", Jamie asked, and Alex replied with, "Yeah, I guess I'll take on it. "I guess me and Amelia will join!", Alice exclaimed while raising Amelia's left hand up as well. "I guess I should join, right? Like, everyone's here?", said Carla, so all 6 people joined in on the bet. "Well now, I think there's just too much people for game of life now. What about we play uno instead?", Connor suggested. "Of course, it'll definitely be funnier with games you could sabotage others, right?", Alex replied. After everything was set, the game started.

After the students sat in a circle, it was ready. To the left of Alex were Jamie and Alice while to the right were Alice, Connor, and Carla. Of course, Connor got to go first, and the play proceeded clockwise. At first, things went great as everyone was playing nicely. However, things started changing when Alex played a +2 card on Jamie which made him visibly a little mad. However, after Carla played a reverse card, Alex ultimately got skipped by Jamie as his salty payback.

After that, the game was getting a little less tense as less plus cards and skips were being used on each other. However, Jamie became visibly pissed off again after Alex used a reverse card on him. Secretly, Alex was also on team Connor, and wanted a revenge on Jamie for splashing gunk on him that afternoon. However, Jamie's anger eventually bit him back as he played a +4 card on hand. As Alex was powerless against the action, he could only let it pass. However, that +4 card gave him 2 +2 cards which were very useful.

When turns rotated to Alice's turn, she played reverse card before Jamie which made him really mad, and he was definitely seeking for opportunity to get revenge on her in his very next turn. However, that would prove to be a really back luck to him. As the turn came back to Carla's, she put down a yellow +2 cards before shouting 'Uno!' which seemed harmless to Jamie. Little did he knew, the chain of following 3 people had +2 cards, and the stacked bonus was now +8 cards. Since Jamie had used all those plus cards to bother people before, he basically had none left, and was forced to draw the additional 8 cards.

Of course, Alice decided to play it nice as she put her red 5 on Alex's red +2 card before passing the turn to Carla. Before Jamie knew it, she put down her green 5, and she won the game! After the game was over, everyone counted the remaining cards, and turned out that plus 8 was extremely bad for Jamie, hence he was the loser. "Well, Jamie be prepared for tomorrow!", Connor taunted him before everyone else laughed which made Jamie's face completely red from being irritated by his friends. 'Welp, Jamie. It was all part of the plan.', everyone thought. In order to calm Jamie down, Alice, Amelia, and Alex decided to play game of life with him as Connor and Carla decided that they were going to go pack up first.
