Game On {1}

Chapter 19

"Dude, this place is fucking packed," Jonathan exclaimed as the five of them walked inside the building for Laser Tag Championships.

"That's because these are professionals, " Evanee informed them, spotting a few familiar faces around the room. "If we actually want to make it past the first round, we can't do what you idiots did the first time we played."

They thought back to that moment and burst out laughing at the memory. Each of them remembered the way they ran in circles and screamed whenever someone shot them.

Evanee then saw Kelly, the person who had worked there the last time they went laser tagging. Kelly had seen her at the same moment and walked towards them with a smile.

"Hey guys. I'm guessing you guys are here for the tournament, so I have a paper up at the front that one of you need to fill out. Since you just came here, you'll be going up against our newest team, which I'm sure you'll have no problem doing."

Knowing what she was doing, Evanee was the one who followed Kelly to fill out the paper for the tournament. All of the questions were easy since they asked for names and ages and other shit like that, but the second part made her think. It was the codenames and the team name. She then remembered each of their names: DaithiDeNogla, Vanoss, H2ODelirious, and IAmWildcat. Then she put her name, Lyte Nyx and then came the name.

The raven haired girl looked outside through the tinted window that decorated the walls of the building and saw a yellow and green bus and a sudden name popped up in her head, The Banana Bus Squad. She finished filling the paper out and gave it back to Kelly, who in turn gave them their cards.

"So, how do you know them?" Kelly asked, referring to the four childish boys laughing in the corner.

"School. You interested in any of them?"

A surprised expression appeared on the blonde's face as she looked at Evanee in mild astonishment. "Well, I guess it's easy to see that I do think one of them is cute." Evanee stayed silent, waiting for her to continue. "Its the tall one, Tyler I think."

Tyler was adequate when it came to romantically interacting with girls. He just didn't do it often since most girls didn't interest him, but Evanee remembered the way Tyler looked when he first saw Kelly. Apparently he had a thing for blondes.

"I bet you $20 that I can get him to ask you on a date in the next five minutes,"Evanee proposed.

Of course, being skeptical, Kelly agreed and watched with interest as Evanee walked back to her group of friends and began talking.

"Real talk. Kelly likes you and I bet her $20 that you'd ask her out in the next five minutes." Evanee's sudden statement caught the group off guard, but she knew that she'd get her $20 as soon as a smile appeared on Tyler's face. He left them to go talk to Kelly."Anyways, I just filled out one of the papers and we'll be going against some newbie team, but that doesn't mean you guys get to slack off. I play to win," Evanee moved her eyes to Evan, making sure he got her reference.

If Evan wanted to play a little gsme with her by trying to make her fall for him, she'd do the exact same thing and like Evanee said, she plays to win.
Jonathan, oblivious to whatever was happening between the two, started doing squats, stopped, then did bush ups. "We got to train. Train hard, play hard."

"Fucking noob," David muttered. Delirious flipped him off and continued 'training'. "I'm going to regret this."

The tall Irish boy went down as well and began doing push ups, challenging Jonathan to whoever could do more push ups in one minute.

Evam and Evanee watched the two idiots and so was the group of around sixty people scattered around the building. "I'll do the same thing if you want me to, Ducky. Besides, I know you just love looking at these." The teenage boy flexed his biceps and winked at the shorter girl.
