The Beanie & The Blonde |Twombly|

Chapter Six

Chapter Six:

The next day the entire team was nursing hangovers at google. They rearranged the office so the two couches were on the big green rug, facing each other with a small coffee table in between. Nick was sitting on the end of one couch with Yo-Yo laying down on the other end. Lyle was curled up on the other couch across from Yo-Yo with billy sitting next to him and Neha resting against the armchair. Stuart made a bed of bean bag chairs and was laying on it with his beanie pulled over his eyes, and Maya was curled up against the side of the bean bag with her face on Stuart's stomach. Stuart was running his fingers threw her wavy hair.

"The whole world looks like a pinwheel of death right now." Stuart groaned.

"Price of making memories, Stewie." Nick replied. He was still hungover but him and Billy had enough experience to have thought of getting coffees when they came in so they weren't as bad as the others.

"I'm thirsty." Maya whined. Billy, bless his heart, dragged himself off the couch and went out to grab her a gatorade. When he game back he tossed her the drink before plopping back down on the couch.

"I think I love you." Maya told him as she sipped at her drink. Stuart reached up and stole a sip while Billy just laughed at her.

"My liver hurts." Yo-Yo moaned quietly.

"Can't fix that one." Billy shrugged.

"Astonishingly," Chetty began loudly as he entered the office. Stuart yanked the beanie off his eyes and put his glasses back on, jumping into a sitting position while they all turned to look at the man. "You app received ten times more downloads than any of the other teams. It appears that you have won your first challenge."

"How 'bout it!" Billy cheered, fist bumping Neha. Lyle grinned and started to sit up.

"Whoo!" Maya cheered, hugging Stuart.

"Yeah!" Nick applauded. "Come on, baby."

"Congratulations." Chetty told them. Yo-Yo suddenly shot into a sitting position and puked into a trash can.

"Oh, easy there big guy." Billy said. Neha covered her mouth while Maya hid her face in the back of Stuart's shirt. Nick reached over and started rubbing Yo-Yo's back.

"Gets over excited." Nick told Chetty before turning back to Yo-Yo.

"Lovely." Chetty said, clearly disgusted as he left the room.

"Let it out. Let it out little feller." Nick whispered soothingly.

After that challenge, everything seemed to fall into place for Team Lyle. That night had brought them closer, and they were finally acting like a team.

They used their free time to sit down in some comfortable chairs somewhere at google and explain the basics to Nick and Billy. It was slow moving, but as the weeks went by they learned more and more.

The next challenge was about cracking codes which Neha had an affinity for. The team was cheering her on as she wrote on the glass while the other teams were heckling their champion.

"Come on, Neha!"

"you got it, you got it, you got it."

"That's it, baby!"

Chetty slowly walked by, checking the writing before giving them a thumbs up. They all cheered loudly as they won another challenge.

"Yes!" Maya screamed, jumping at Stuart and wrapping her arms around him. He grabbed her waist and spun her around before hugging her normally. They pulled apart and Maya gave Neha a double high-five, before the whole team started randomly high-fiving each other.
