chapter 40: out of the list

Two ladies were sitting on a sofa while watching the news.

"Today we have interesting news for you. Last night, two of the most eligible bachelors are now out of the list as they have now announced that they have girlfriends". The news reporter said and it piqued the interest of all the viewers especially the two ladies.

They gasped in both surprise and anger when they saw the two bachelors that were off the charts.

"Now let's see the evidences behind these claims. Firstly, Justin Lyon. He introduced a very beautiful lady as his girlfriend at last night's gala. Although the cameras weren't able to get her facial look, we do know that she was wearing one of the limited dresses produced by Tian fashion industry. According to what we heard, Mr. Lyon was the one who bought it for her to show how much she means to him." The male reporter announced with a loud cheer of excitement.

"Secondly, we have Jordan Wolfe. At the same gala, Jordy was interviewed as a QGDZ player. He was asked about his opinion on relationships and if he plans on falling in love with his fan but his response was 'I already have someone I like' which took everyone as a shock. And just like that, in one night two of the most eligible bachelors who aren't just wealthy but handsome went off the charts. I really need to know who these two luckily ladies are? Don't you Joe?" The lady announced and asked her Co reporter

"Of course. Jordy and Justin have turned down all the girls whom had approached them in the past and suddenly they announced that they have girlfriends. This is just mind-blowing" Joe said. One of the ladies turned off the TV angrily as she paced around the room.

"How can you be so calm jade?" Nora Iden asked angrily as she seethed in rage.

"I'm pissed. Like very pissed right now but I already have a plan" jade said with a sardonic smile.

"stop disturbing me. I already told you I'm not telling you guys. now quit being a pest" Jordy scolded.

"come on Jordy. how can you announce to the whole world that you like someone else without telling us who it is?" Alex asked.

"you don't need to know. the girl in question already knows" Jordy said giving a quick glance in Lianne's direction.

"does that mean that you guys are already dating?" Kai asked with widened eyes.

"not exactly" Jordy responded confusing them the more but no matter how much they pressured him to reply, he remained mute and they eventually gave up.

"the next activity we'll be having is a sport competition. and all of you guys are expected to participate" Zac announced

they all got prepared for the sports competition and got into the QGDZ bus and made their way to the stadium. they were ushered into a large building where they met other competitors.

because of the amount of people invited for this competition, as not only e-gamers were invited, they were shared into groups which each group containing 14 players each.

the whole of QGDZ players (Dami, Kai, xavy, Alex, Jordy and Lianne), the rest of the members of F4 (Tom, Jetty and Yan) and FS (DD, M and Lizzy), Justin and Ella were placed in the same group.

the guys left the 5 girls to talk. the girls walked to the other half of the basketball court while playing with the basketballs "can you believe this? all the villains are in the same group" M snickered while pointing to the other half of the court.

"yeah. look, Nora, Jade, Summer, Veronica, Melody, Myles are all in the same group"

"you guys sound familiar with all of them. do you guys know them?" Ella asked

"Jade has a crush on Jordy, Summer has a crush on Yan, Veronica has a crush on Jetty, Melody has a crush on Tom and Nora has a crush on Justin" DD explained making Ella's eyes widen in surprise.

"how do you know that Miss. Iden has a crush on Justin" Ella asked

"wait don't tell me you didn't know" Lianne asked astonished.

"from my first meeting with her, I started having speculations about it and I haven't met her since then" Ella said

"well, are you forgetting that I met Justin long before you met him? it was then that I first met Nora" Lianne said.
