The Illegitimate Heir

CHAPTER THREE

The next day, Zayn and James set out to meet with Hope and Nadia to convince them to join their team.

They got to the same spot they had met yesterday as they were rehearsing their normal pop song' Sorry' by Justin Bieber.

Why are you guys still wasting your time coming here, we aren't interested, why don't you give up?

Zayn and Derek stood there and watched as they danced.

They waited for five hours before they were able to talk to the girls

With so much explanation the girls finally agreed to join their teams.

Hearing the good news, the two friends couldn't wait to break the news to their friend Derek, whose thought was that meeting the girls again would be another slap in his face and a waste of time.

Seeing his two friends coming towards his house, he wondered what made them so happy as they were radiating happiness all over their bodies

Hey strangers, what must have made you two happy, as I could notice the silly smiles on your faces?

Derek asked to know what was the secret.

Well, if you must know, we finally convinced your girlfriends to join our team.

Hold it there Zayn, those two witches aren't my girlfriends, they are way below my league.

Zayn and James laughed and replied to him, Yeah, of course. We know they are above your leave.

You two must be crazy to have really thought these girls were my girlfriends.

But it's all good news, and that being said, I will give you two a high Five. You two have done an impressive job.

Can we plan now on how to get a team name, or do we continue this argument?

I've got to head home, Zayn said, it's already getting dark but trust me, tomorrow we would plan out everything.

Goodnight Guys.

The next morning, Zayn all dressed up, without having his breakfast, he left rushing without wasting much of his even after being called back by his mum to come back and eat his breakfast.

They all gathered at Mrs. Yang's tea shop looking so bright except Derek who was grumbling without anyone knowing his reason for doing that.

What seems to have been the problem, Derek?

You have just been acting strange ever since we got here, if it's because of hope and Nadia, you have got to grow up man. James replied.

That's a Lie! Well, if that's not the case, then the sooner you realize that they have joined our team, the better for you.

Back to our discussion, we've got to be fast as the days are no longer on our sides.

Early registration creates more chances of getting selected first.

I would like everyone to go back home and think of a name, two names would be great.

A Day? Yes, you got an issue with that hope?

Yes, Zayn a day it's too sudden, the day you are referring to is actually tomorrow.

Alright then, I'll say in two days’ time.

That sounds better.

Before we all depart to our various homes, I would like to say something.

Alright, go ahead Zayn, what seems to be the issue.

Nothing really, he replied James.

I would like to thank each of you guys for agreeing to partake in this competition.

I bet you if we do better, it's a win for all of us.

If we set aside our differences, I believe we would achieve something.

I think that's all for now.

Everyone laughed.

Goodbye, Zayn, Derek, and James. Nadia and Hope said

Goodbye N and H the boys responded.

Zayn, how are you sure these girls will really put in their best?

Relax Derek, James chipped in if we give them a chance, I believe they will do their best.

Talking about Nadia and hope, turn to Derek. How much do you know about programming?

Zayn couldn't control his laughter

There's nothing to laugh about Zayn.

Alright, sorry man I won't laugh again, still laughing.

I'll see you guys in two days. Make sure to think of a name Derek, Mr. I know it all, he jokingly said.

The day has finally come to choose a name for their team.

Each of them was to come up with two different names.

They were to meet at the Tea shop, that was their only meeting point until they finalized the next meeting point.

Excited they all looked, they all brought out their suggestions, but sadly, it was only one name they needed for their team.

The names they all thought about were: Avalanche, Binary Beast, Trigger minds cape, Reality Techs, Syntax Terminators, Whiteboard Warriors, Twister boot, Data Pirates, Software Chasers and Kazan Conquerors.

The names were perfect, but they required just one.

After so many deliberations, with so many arguments and fights because everyone wanted the team to bear the names they selected, but that wasn't going to be possible because the instruction was to choose only one name.

An hour later, when everyone must have calmed down, they finally had to pick 'Binary Beast.' a name brought by Nadia Thomas.

Their team was already beginning to take up a form, having to finally pick a name that they will be recognized as.
