Fake Dated - Marcel Styles Fanfic

Chapter 11

Marcel's POV

As I was cooking the quesadillas in the kitchen, it seemed like Gemma and Tiana were slowly getting along with each other-- which made me glad. It's great to know that your sister likes your crush.

Yes, Tiana's my crush. Not that long though, just recently. It all started when we teamed up at the academic decathlon in Mathematics last semester competing with the brainiacs in other schools here in London.

-Flashback-

Tiana and I were listed as one of the students to participate in the academic decathlon in Mathematics last semester. 2 out of 5 members in the decathlon, including me and Tiana, backed out since one of them is also going to participate at the school's football championship and the other one's participating in the Science quiz bee in another school. So basically, the school's winning streak at the academic decathlon depended on Tiana, Clint-- our other member and me.

We tossed a coin to know who would answer the questions twice in behalf of our other team members. In the end, Tiana and I were to answer twice individually while Clint would answer the third equation which was to be answered.

Tiana was the first one to answer. She and her competitor  was to answer an equation about the Probability of E Occurring which luckily she got correct first which gained us one point and the other team, zero.

I was the second one to answer. I must admit, I was really, really nervous that time especially when I knew that my competitor was one of the students I last competed with which were undoubtedly really smart but Tiana just comforted me by shaking my shoulders.

"Shake things off! You can do it!" She said before I stepped forward for the next round.

The buzzer buzzed which signaled us to start answering and luckily I was to answer a problem using the Pythagorean theorem which I was somehow good at. It took us a while before one of us stopped the timer and got the correct answer which gained our team another point. Yeah, that was me.

Clint was the third one to answer a problem dealing with slopes. He was answering undoubtedly well but unfortunately, the other team got it first which gained them one point.

So now it's 2-1.

Tiana answered the fourth one about the equation of the sphere which was one of the hardest lessons we've had so far. She and her competitor were answering it for more than 15 minutes now until the other team stopped the timer and again gained another point.

We're on 2-2 now.

"And now, for the final equation, we have Marcel Styles from team one and Thomas James from team two," the MC said as we both stepped forward for the last round-- which is the tie breaker-- and which is such a pressure since the school's winning streak's depending on you.

I feel like vomiting.

But no, I can't do that.
