20 Its a day to recline

"Wow! Our school is looking colorful. It's been long since we enjoyed altogether. Lets rock it!", Ailee said to her friends, looking at the whole school gathered around to watch the match.

" Good Morning, dear students! I'm glad to welcome you all to the Pre- selection match for the Atlise High competion. Its really soothing to see, each and every one of you gathering around with beautiful smiles. As its a risky and quite dangerous match, we request all the students to sit only on the sides, our staffs asks you to. I would love to introduce the eight teams along with their Captains, who are playing in this tournament", saying the Principal turned back and welcomed the captains.

" Let's welcome [Patrick captain of Blue scot] [Charles Captain of Yellow scot ]

[Jacob Captain of Green scot ]

[ Zeano Captain of Virtue scot]

[ Timber Captain of Black scot ]

[Biltey Captain of Purple scot]

[ Bruno Captain of Blood scot ]

[Yerdin Captain of Quilt scot ] and

[ Nerden Captain of White scot]", he continued.

" Before we begin the match, there's an important announcement awaiting for y'all. The non- participants are only allowed to watch the first match between Blood and Quilt scot that's happening today. The rest of the matches will be held under prof. Fitson and other higher staffs; Students are requested to continue their routine works from tomorrow. If not, obeying the rule and sneaking without anyone's knowledge, would end up in severe punishment and will be humiliated in front of everyone. Studies are what is important now and these matches are held just for selection. Therefore, you can enjoy the main matches that will happen after a month", Principal Tom wales delivered the speech and pressed a button in his hands as a sign to begin the competition.

A loud horn striked the school and the steel gates near the goal posts opened on either of the sides.

Students shouted at the mass opening of the gates and they all cheered with great zeal for the commencement of the match.

The captain of Blood scot, Bruno entered the stadium from the right side, on his red jersey with his red head band and eye coolers on. On the other side captain of Quilt scot Yerdin made his appearance on his Pink jersey and head band. It was the opening captains job, to introduce the ball to the players.

They both went up the slope and got to the excited lane which had another goal post. They skated through the glass path and reached to the center and its when a bot came up from the ground, flying holding a big silver box. Both the captains touched the box, after the bot mounted it on the center stand and left.

As soon as they touched it, the silver covering shrank and displayed a glossy, transparant glass shield which held the big blue ball. But the captains stood there helpless unable to figure out how to unlock the glass shield. A series of attempt they made was useless and they ended in vain.

Students felt disappointed and they brought out a disturbing noise around the stadium. Soon, it turned out to be noisy that came unbearable to the staffs and players.

When the noise reached a certain limit, captains observed some movement on the glass shield. Soon, the captains figured out that it was the students who could unlock the shield. They signalled them all, to raise their volume and shout to the fullest.

The whole school enjoyed the idea and they all made use of this chance to vent out their ego and vengeance. Few shouted piercing their vocal chords, few yelled at their teachers, few vented out their hatred towards their enemies and few screamed like a rare type of tribe.

They all then, laughed at each other for their funny behaviours and actions. The loud noise made the glass door shake and it opened slowly spreading a pleasant odour around the stadium.

Huge claps and enthusiasm filled the stadium after the captains took the ball together and showed it high.

" Yeah! Come on, Quilt scot. You can do it!", Ronald cheered for the senior team sitting among the crowd with his friends.

Soon, the match began and Students started to cheer for the teams they loved the most. They all had certain props and posters to show their support towards the two teams, which raised some clash inbetween the supporters, then and there.

" Wah! What a speed! They're just passing the balls in a blink of an eye. The players do have, high skating skills, did you see their shoes? Its amazing! Will they not give us eye gogglers, today?", Ronald exclaimed and asked his friends nearby.

"Ah! Those are new version shoes recently released by Super Land. Look at those men with Tuxedos near principal, they are the owners of it. And as for gogglers( an eye glass that helps oneself see objects that move on high velocity conveniently.), I don't think they'll give us today; Its only for high level matches. As of selection matches, players would only play in a certain speed, for us to follow up. Its hard for me to see them too. If you find it uncomfortable look through the displays", Jimmy said to him.

" You're insanely amazing. Where do you collect all those information, even when you're with us. Can you tell us the speciality of those shoes?", wondering about his knowlege of collecting news, Ailee asked him.

" Even, the company hadn't released those information officially. They might have shown it to the high level authorities in our country. But its clear that its not like the shoe rollers we use daily for transportation and sport. It might be the next invention that's going to earn millions or trillions", said Jimmy.

" Wow! We can almost do anything with the rollers, we have with us. I wonder what's the new shoes might have. But, I feel that it might have a lot of feature for sports. Look! He is flying and defending; so it has nitro boost facilities. Its marvellous!", Ronald said and exclaimed at the player's smart move.

They all got completely immersed in the match, as they totally forgot about Jason.

" Where is Jason? Why isn't he replying to any of our conversation?", Jimmy asked everyone and leaned forward to look at him.

But, Jason who was sitting next to Ailee for hours, neither complained nor talked about anyone. They all wondered why he sat silent, unlike any other days. They all tapped him and asked if he was alright.

" Jason, are you dreaming? Why are you silent?", asked Ailee waving her hands infront of his face.

" Yeah! I'm aright. I've no issues in watching them as I can see each and everyone clearly. So, I got myself immersed on the match. Sorry, guys!", Jason smiled at them and replied.

" What? You can see them clearly? Then, you are something. There are like petite dolls, going here and forth in a great speed. You got great eyes man", Ronald praised him and he made an attempt to make him laugh.

" Don't talk about his eyes! He'll get depressed", Ailee whispered to him and made him shut his mouth.

" Whatever, I really enjoyed today. From the start till the end, I sat here reclining myself. This match made me feel a lot more better", saying Jason smiled at his friends.

After enjoying a thrilling match, between the two teams Ailee, Jimmy and Jason returned to their houses.

" Jason, what about doing homework together and play a game at connector in Jimmy's house. Will you join us?", Ailee asked Jason standing in front of him, few distance away from school.

" Yeah! I would love to but I need to meet Grandma Linda. She asked me to meet at the evening", Jason said to her.

" Yeah! I forgot about it. Ok we'll be leaving, bye!", Ailee bid farewell to him and walked forward with Jimmy; It was when she saw bot Louis coming infront of her.

" Hey Louis! Can you please help me reach Xanthisma block?. Its hard for me to walk such a long distance as I feel really tired. Please!", Ailee pleaded him.

" Its really healthy for students to walk home. And Why don't you Mrs. Noroc use your shoe rollers? I'm busy now", the bot replied.

" I forgot to wear them today. Why are you so rude. Instead of finding excuses and taking about other things, why don't you lift me by your gentle hands and drop me?", Ailee asked him with a cute smile.

On hearing this, the bot scanned her from top to bottom. It's eyes automatically estimated the mass of accessories and the weight of her. After processing and analysing, it looked at her and said ,"Sorry, weight overloaded! It's exceeding the limit an average bot can lift, so request REJECTED".

This made her angry and so she started fighting with him.

Jason, who hadn't walked that much distance, laughed at their conversation and reached Grandma Linda, with an never ending smile 'cause of Ailee.
