Capture That Feeling

With the never-ending holiday party at home, no one will miss her if she takes the same flight with that tall boy, right? All she has to do is get on the plane, never mind if the plane will bring her from Oslo to China! --------- "Would you like to come into my room, join me with some drinks and hear what I want?" she drunkenly said it at that time. "Don't worry, I don't mean any harm," she said assuring the man before she dropped herself to the couch. "Are you traveling alone? Don't you have any adult companion with you?" he carefully asked as he stood in front of Ellise. "Hey, mister, you must have difficulty understanding, I already said, I'm alone, right?" she answered back. "You're clearly too young to be drinking alone in a hotel room, in a country where you don't know anybody and on top of that you invited a stranger in your room," he said with concern. "Why, you're also too young to be having an affair with a married woman, meet her in a hotel away from the city in the middle of the night. How old are you, anyway?" she sarcastically answered back, avoiding the issue of inviting a stranger. "I'm twenty, and I'm not having an affair with a married woman," he answered with a straight face. "If you're not having an affair why the two of you clearly look like you're hiding," she said, not planning to lost an answer and question interrogation "Listen, little girl. You better stop drinking because you're already drunk with all of these expensive wines," he said in annoyance. "You see, I have a credit card that has no limit, paying for all of my expenses here. I've been here in Shanghai since the first week of January, and today is my birthday. It's almost two months already, but nobody has come or asked from my family if I'm okay." she said in a broken voice. ---- Book Cover by: Sendaline_16

WIZ Club Meeting

Wan is discussing the changes that will take place in the club, he is saying "We have to be ready for the coming national competition, from what was discussed in the meeting of China Captured The Flag Federation (CCTFF) there will be a lot of teams that will be competing this year, the Federation just approved three new clubs. China now has a total of seven registered clubs that will compete at the national level to get in the Asian Championship that will be held in Korea."

"SH has already had two teams, EPIC, - a club that just registered last year, also has two teams, while the rest of the other clubs has one team each, that's including us…."

"The CEO of EPIC has a lot of cash.", Spirit cut Wan in the middle of his sentence.

"Starting this season WIZ club will have two teams too! We already informed the Federation of our plan and it was approved in the last forum, so in this upcoming National Competition we will have two teams, hence there'll be nine teams in total from seven CTF clubs, that will compete for a chance to join the Asian Championship." Wan continued.

A cheer of applause erupted in the meeting room. The excitement is palpable in the air.

"I know our plan to have two teams for the club has been on the table for quite a while, and everyone is expecting us to have it since SH has been doing it, and since we represented the country in the World Championship two years ago. But with the result we yield from that competition, we all see that outside China we are still weak!"

"And for that reason, for the past two years, we focused on developing each member's skills, because I want all of you to be given an opportunity to be best in this industry, while you're a part of WIZ, not just as a player but as a career in the future when you decide you don't want to be part of this sport anymore."

"And I'm happy with the result, though we have to wait for a long time, I want to make it clear to all of you that it's not because of you guys. It's because the company has a lot of things to consider to prepare us for all the changes that we are discussing today."

"And that will start with you Grand," Wan said pointing at Grand, who is sitting at the back.

"After you're done with your price of two days off, from winning the last competition, spend more time here in the club to practice with DT."

"But Boss! I have a new girlfriend," he whines.

"Dump her, from now on you'll be handling your own team, you don't have time for a girlfriend," he said.

"Woooh! Congratulations Bro!!", Seven shouted.

A speechless Grand was slapped and punched in a congratulatory manner by all the members. He was dumbfounded with the sudden announcement that all he could do was grin from ear to ear.

"There will be a lot of changes, within the club. You all want to know who will be the members of the team, right?" Wan asked in the middle of the commotion

"Yes!!!"

"It's not decided yet, because we will do a fair selection. Except for the team captain, that has been decided solely by me, the rest of the position will be determined by your national ranking, and the rank that you will get from the CTF game you'll be playing against each other at the end of the month. Slacking will not be tolerated because I'm telling you now that each team will have two standby players instead of just one like before."

With the mention of new rules, the whole room fell silent and once they recovered from the shocking news, an uproar of excitement erupted in the meeting room, as the issued challenge dawned on for the twenty members of the club.

"Silence!" Ghost shouted on top of the rumble of noise.

"The new rule in place is that these stand by players will be shuffled every competition, you will be chosen as substitute players, depending on your overall national ranking and ranking within the club. You might say, it's unfair because you don't have the opportunity to update your personal rank within the country, well, not only that there are changes in our club, but also in CCTFF, another thing discussed was holding an online CTF game all year round."

"They will be starting next week, they have a huge plan for it because they are looking in the future of allowing any individual who wants to play to join the online CTF game, as a way to headhunt potential players for all the clubs."

"Your asses have no time to play around, you all know what I want to see in those leaderboards!"

"Yes, boss!", a collective voice full of exuberant young men answered Wan.

He can't help smiling watching the eagerness of all the members.

"Another thing will be sending our players on the lower half ranking of our club for single, and double team players for the opening games at the end of the month. Each club can send ten players from their club, and it's up to them if they will send in a single or a double team player."

"That's a lot of games before the club team players' official preliminary face-off, boss." said One.

"It's because there are more clubs now, meaning more professional players around. The federation is giving way to new clubs to show off their own players before the main game. We are one of the founders, don't you all try to give me a result that would make you stay inside this building the whole year glued in your computer screen!"

"Boss, we will do our very best to make you proud." a beaming Seven, said, agreed by all the members.

"You better be." a threatening Wan, said. "Ghost, give them the names of the players that will play for the opening games," Wan said, sitting down to let Ghost do the talking.

"Okay, let's cut it short so all of you could whip your pretty bum bum with more practice! Look here on the screen, see your name? Then, congratulations, you're playing!"

"Let's see, we have Bot, Mantis, Underdog, MyPrecious, Hiring, and Boom; they will be playing singles, whereas Giant Dumpling, Masterjackass, DT and Grand, you guys will play double team players."

"Any questions? No, don't ask questions, because I have a flight to catch, and I gotta run!" Ghost said and then ran away from all the gaping boys that were ready to bombard him with questions.
