"I've finally gotten over Maria to face my career, you said that I wasn't gonna be able to. Ta-dah…." He makes a sarcastic sound to show that what Imikah said hasn't come true. Only God knows how excited he is right now, he has been free from the shackles of love which seems to have held him bound without mercy.

"I'm glad you have because it's not easy, I can tell you from experience. It hurts so much to love someone but you miss the person before you get to speak to her and tell her what you want. There was a time I kind of was burdened with guilt, it took two years for me to finally let go. I don't know how I did it but I did it."

"Ahhhh! So you thought mine was going to be worse like your own?" Wenton places so much emphasis in saying, he can't believe that his best friend passed through this without him knowing. "You're such a strong guy!"

"Don't laugh at me please," Imikah chuckles. "How am I strong when I can't let go of a girl I loved and lost before I could get to speak to h

    The announcement of Wenton as the captain in the forthcoming match between the humans and the aliens came as a surprise to many, they thought a captain would be the eldest or one of the oldest in the team so as to command respect. It was thought that Wenton would make the Vice-captain but as it stands, Ben has already declared that he has no need for a vice-captain making all the glory go to Wenton. A good number are happy that they have a talented player to help them, nothing like age matters to them so far as he knows what he is doing and they plan to cooperate with him for success. After the meeting, while others return to the garden to spend some fun time together, some go back to the hostel to rest ahead of their training session in the evening. Wenton didn't want anything like rest, especially for the time being. He might schedule a two-hour sleep for himself before the time of the training and would have a longer sleep at night. For now, he had to get personally prepared. His

    Ben pressures the two players left behind after the three fell to the ground confessing what happened, at least he needs to hear from both of them before he moves on to confirm from the CCTV. After this, the next person he directs his question to is Wenton but winks at him with a gaze at his wrist on which he wears his invisible system watch. Don't in any way talk about your system! He understands this quickly and nods his head slightly to avoid suspicions from his teammates who are watching both of them with the two assistant coaches. He doesn't want them to know that he and Ben are secretly communicating. "I was training privately, after some minutes into my training, I felt a thick little ball like a stone hit me and it sank right into my head and skull. I know you might not believe it but I'll call on you to check the CCTV after this to confirm. It was unbelievable when I felt the stone going up, and right out of my head. When I lifted my head to check if I had blood or a gap

It prompted him to get up so early so that he could begin his training before 8 AM where the players would be going shopping at the five star fashion boutique in town. Ben had already told them about this.

    When the time for the shopping approaches, they all get inside the coaster waiting for them outside, with Wenton still chatting with Imikah. They have a lot to talk about especially their future as club footballers, Imikah just can't stop wishing Wenton would come to play for Alla Madrid."I really need you here, Spain is boring without you.

    "I stand to announce today that George Wenton has been stripped of this team's captaincy due on the grounds of inconsistency in quality performances. We would now have Logan Michael as the new captain of the Sporting Stars Academy FC." The cheers and claps from the crowd of colleagues and spectators makes Wenton want to drop to the floor. He has sacrificed his best to the club for many years now just for him to be thrown out like this and it didn't only end there, it had to be a public ceremony, that's the main part he can't really endure. He had started his budding football career as an Academy player, after some years of training, he graduated and became one of the star players of the pioneer youth club of the Academy who featured in youth's football games in England. He was made the captain and he did quite well, always scoring goals and showcasing his talent to the world with the hope that one day he would be noticed by a big-time club. He also hoped to remain as the captain of t

    Brienne, in addition to the insults, slams the door against Wenton's face. From inside of her apartment, she threatens to call the cops on him and his friends if they don't go away before she comes out. "I never want to see you again!" She shouts. Wenton's friends who had come with him shrug their shoulders in disbelief. They had always seen how Brienne treated their friend with love and respect, they always say that both of them would make good partners only for them to be disappointed in this way. It's a double disappointment for Wenton and them. "I can't believe she only loved you for who you were and who she hoped you would become!" Levi says. "Let's go guys, Wenton I would say don't be sad, rather be glad that she has shown you her true intention so early, that's not the type of woman you should share your future success with." Gabriel cuts in. "She's not worth dying for, let her go and find someone that has already made it and become a gold-digger. " Anthony came in. All of

    He asks Imikah to talk more about what he just said, to make it clearer to him because it seems like a joke to him. "I haven't heard you talk more specifically about the English Champions before, how did you just promise me this?" Imikah smiles at this. "I do not talk about the National Team doesn't means I don't have someone there, it's just because I never dreamt of playing for them after passing out from here for the meantime, I always wanted to play for a club and besides I'm not from England totally, I was just born and raised up here. ""You are a citizen," Wenton interrupts. "Yes, I know but I would love to play for my blood country, England, my parents are both from there, so we can meet and play against each other one day." He chuckles."Ooh!" "So it goes that way, it's hard for you to talk about something that you aren't interested in. By the way, my uncle is a chief administrative officer there. He can help you with the necessary procedures if you don't mind." Wenton ga

    "This might just be a challenge I don't have to succumb to, what will I tell Imikah? He would surely laugh at me, I promised that I will make Brienne return to me and now I'm going away like that? No, I wouldn't!" He resolves to go back to her and tell her courageously what he came to say. Walking back to the entrance door, he wants to step inside, by now both Brienne and Iniesta have already dressed up. She wouldn't let him, she rushes to the entrance pushing him off, he staggers. Then Iniesta walks forward as if he wants to beat him up but Brienne blocks him. Don't worry, I'll deal with him myself. He is too weak and foolish for you to fight. I can handle him. "What are you saying?" Wenton gets pissed, his eyes turn red with anger. Never had he been abused this way by anyone before. He walks forward to challenge her for such an insult she has given to him. "If you come a step closer to me, I'll give you a terrible slap." She shakes her head furiously at him and surely she means

    "Well, she has been transferred to another football base, which I wouldn't tell you about." "Why?" His jaw drops in shock, he doesn't find a reason Celine should be trying to sever their budding feelings to die each other. Ben who is his coach has reasons as he wants him to concentrate but she doesn't have. To her side, Celine believes that Maria would never concentrate and might lose interest in her job with time if she continues with seeing Wenton. She can't let this happen, she has seen it from afar. Maria is one of the best chefs the team and football world has, it would be a great loss to let her go, not like she is being held captive but she loves her job and she is paid handsomely. All these explanations she made in her mind before saying it out to the hearing of Wenton. He stands there dumbfounded, not knowing what to say, if he had known where she was, he would have gone there that same day, particularly as he is now aware that she loves him too. It would have been a little

    Because of the forthcoming football battle between the human team and the aliens, the English Champions and all other European national teams, suspend their matches so that their selected players can feature in the match coming up. For those countries who have no players participating in the alien-human match, they pause as a sign of respect and solidarity with those that are taking part in the match. During this period, it happens that Wenton has taken interest also in something quite different from football and that's Maria Dorothy, the eighteen year old young woman, just three years younger than him, who is the assistant in the catering department of the team. Ben tries to take his mind away from Maria but he wouldn't agree to this, his heart wouldn't just stop beating to have Maria, she is what he thinks of all the time. "We have a week to go and you have wasted a week thinking about this girl whom you can't have. She is a distraction to you, if you still think about her, I

    Ben takes him into the underground tunnel which is where the office of the officials of the team are located, even the computer room that would be sending information to them through their digital watches. Wenton then realizes that the digital watch that would be given him would make it the second he is using. He already had the first and was receiving information from it! "What will I do in this case?" He asks the coach who gives him a grin. "You have nothing to worry about. You are still going to get the result at the end of the day. This shouldn't disturb you Wenton, you are a light shining alone already at the horizon. For the digital watch that would be given, wear it on your wrist along with the old one. Yeah, you would get information from both of them," Ben says in a carefree style. Wenton trusts Ben enough to tell him I have a system of support as a footballer, though it's not illegal, it would make the world think that all these skills and talents are being portrayed by

    A warning had already been issued, so it's left for them to abide by this to have a safe and memorable adventure for good. Wenton is resolved to keep all the rules he had learnt about this place because he wouldn't want to be a victim. His friends walk into the alien territory with him, holding their phones and taking pictures of what the place is like, what they would show at their respective homes when they arrive. Wenton had his mom and sister specially asking for the pictures and even the videos, so he doesn't have an excuse for not bringing home what he was asked to. "Why is it that this place looks so unique and mysterious?" Mike who had followed them here asks. They sat at the platform on the floor to debate on the topic Mike had just brought, coupled with the fact that they had brought a lot of stuff to enjoy the picnic with. "This is a dangerous topic!" Wenton says with a sigh, though young in age, he forms to be someone advanced in age. He doesn't necessarily mean this but
