The assembly area was filled with excitement and thrill

"Selena I thought your dad wanted you to participate," Celia said while pushing her hair behind her ear and tapping her feet. She noticed her brother Rojhim and said hi

"I told him no, obviously," she whispered lowly "Celia I'm telling you there's literally something off about this thing, considering it's the Blackwoods and all. I fucking hate that family I'd rather die than enter that game"

Celia as usual thought Herculeana was being a party pooper and was only saying that because her 'evil' ex boyfriend's family was apart of it.

Celia  sighed " yeah whatever, There's Javero" she started shouting his name "Javero! Javero! We're over her" she shouted waving her hands hoping he'd spot her through the crowd, he gave her an "oh my fucking god" look pretending to be embarrassed and scrunched his face while walking towards her

Celia then turned back to herculeana " I hope Javero is atleast entering the game, seriously, you guys are no fun, not even Azeilia is entering,"

Herculeana knew Celia had more than enough friends that she could enter with but, she thought maybe she just wanted to enter with her close friends.
"Yeah well if Javero is not entering, you have my brother, dad wanted him to sign up since I'm not up for it,"

Celia laughed "bye, you know your brother is not good enough company for me," she rolled her eyes and turned to him

"Oh yeah?" Rojhim said "what section of the game are you even capable of doing?"

"Yeah well.." she tapped her foot a couple of time "of course...." She smacked her lips "the mental ability challenge,"

Rojhim bursted out laughing "I never think I've heard you say anything remotely funny since we've met, this is the first,"

"Hey guys," Javero finally appeared

"Uhhh...Fuck you, remember I'm the one who's studying politics here, I'm more than capable to enter the mental ability challenge," Celia said, tapping javero's hand rapidly

Herculena knew how and who Celia was and the social leadership task was the best option for her "Celia I think the social leadership challenge is the one for you though"
