The Westbrook Games The starting whistle
Juan led the group, walking ahead and grunting unpleasantly every few seconds like he was having an internal battle already.But no one really cared to know what it was about so everyone pretended not to hear him.June and Saul took the middle, walking and talking in whispers while June supported Saul's walking with her left shoulder.They looked like a bunch of misfits.Juan the crazy one,she and Saul the half baked folks and May the too angry teenager.Clay walked behind them all, watching behind them and their sides to make sure they were alone and no one was springing another surprise attack like with Vasquez' bombing. They had been walking for a while now, following a path that Juan was taking them through after he had promised that they would avoid encountering people this way.June had been against it like she was against everything that she simply did not like, she had been sure that Juan had some ulterior motive of sorts but Clay had watched Juan lose his sister,in fact they
The Westbrook Games The Introduction of the uncool
"WELL,IT SEEMS THAT WE JUST MIGHT NOT HAVE TO WAIT ALL THAT LONG BECAUSE OUR OPPOSING FIGHTERS ARE ALL HEREE!!!"."LET US ALL WELCOME OUR OPPOSING TEAM FOR TODAY! THE FIRST EVER OPPOSING TEAM IN A GROUPED FIGHT!!! YES!!!! TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THEIR FACES. THIS IS THE TEAM THAT ACCEPTED THE CHALLENGE AGAINST VASQUEZ!!".Screams,yells and even catcalls broke out of the school,spilling around the whole of the area like a storm was upon them.Upon Clay and the team only because they could not see anything beyond each other and could only hear the sounds of the crowd's screaming rushing past their ears.The light from the school that was focused on them made it hard for them to study their surrounding or even look up to see where the screams where coming from so they had no choice other than standing under the scrutiny of the light while trying to stay as aware of their surrounding as humanly possible.Clay was beginning to question of this light was part of their strategy when the Commenta
The Westbrook Games The betrayal of Juan
June and Saul were glaring fiercely at the man that stood in front of them demanding that they let Clay go with him to a secure location."If it is such a secure location,why can we not go with her? What exactly are you going to do that we can not be a part of?You fuckin idiot",She was almost yelling now.Clay only watched all of them, unsure of what to do since she was still partially shocked.Who exactly had made her team leader?She admitted that she had been a little bit forward a couple of times but that was only because she hated to sit back and think of how she could be doing whatever it was that was being done.She had just always assumed that if there was any talks of leadership to ever arise,Saul would take care of it.So, seeing people from the opposing team ask her to meet their leader as the leader of their own team and June and Saul go so easily along with it was quite shocking.She had never agreed whenever Jay mentioned it but it seemed that it was true after all and C
The Westbrook Games Different levels to it
They all looked shocked to different degrees but Juan's own topped the barrel.It was obvious now that he had been barely handling his sister's death and this betrayal would once again crumble his facade of ease.He blinked several times just to make sure that it was not his eyes that were deceiving him but that was even worse because each time he blinked and opened his eyes,he looked even more heartbroken that Ricky was standing over there.He was either an Oscar winning actor or was under a spell.He took a step forward like he was going to come on stage to confirm that Ricky was indeed over there and betraying him.But then he stopped after he had taken that step, closing his eyes probably with the hope that actually confirming that it was Ricky there would just make it so terrible.He looked like someone had just told him that his sister had not really died and it had all been nothing but an elaborate prank for him to laugh to.His mouth was permanently in a shape that one would n
The Westbrook Games The reckless promise
"Ricky !!! You bloody buffoon!".Juan's screamed and screamed as he struggled to let himself loose from the two men that held him down.He did not seem to care about the men that were practically stepping on him and all he seemed to care about was reaching Ricky were he stood with his eyes I'm the air like he had never seen Juan,not to talk of gotten acquainted with him.The two men that held Juan down were even weirder than Juan who was screaming like a new born baby.They seemed hardly interested in the fact that they were holding someone down with their foot and seemed more interested in giggling about what no one was sure of.In the few seconds that it had taken the two men to hold Juan down, they had giggled and snickered almost five times.They were both slender and average heighted with sword sheaths resting in a crisscross pattern on their backs, there was two swords on each of them.And that was not all,they seemed to have something sharp sticking out of every part of their b
The Westbrook Games The vicarious child
"Isn't this becoming quite interesting?"He had asked even louder than the first time and still no one looked his way.No one paid any mind to Vasquez because of course he was once again doing something stupid, he was stating the obvious like the clown the he was.No one,not even Clay was so deaf that he had not heard Alberto's confession and Vasquez' unnecessary take of it.With each passing moment,Clay realized how much their disadvantage in this fight was growing by.Everything was crumbling around Clay while she stood staring at Vasquez.Wasn't it enough that their plans had been leaked?Did they have to humor the asshole on top of it too?There was only two ways to win a fight that was majorly not in your favor.The first was simply by surprise,attack your opponent before they knew what was going on and end it as soon as it started, leaving no space for your opponent to even figure out what it was.And then,there was the strategy.If you had a strategy that was foolproof enough,y
The Westbrook Games The unschooled
This time around Juan was interrupted by Vasquez who was suddenly laughing and snorting behind them, they all turned around to observe him waiting for him to end his absolutely stupid display and inform them of what had him cracking up so badly.He did not stop anytime soon and kept at it like an idiot till he finally ran out of gas.He sighed, wiping a few stray tears from beneath his eyes before he eventually looked at them.He looked at all of them as soon as he was done with his display,his eyes mocking each and every one of them as his eyes flicked past all of them.June shook her head."Sometimes,I am afraid to grow old because people like you prove that old age is all about cynicism and just plain,old madness",She said, blinking innocently.June turned to the others."What are you guys waiting for?",She called.She glanced one last time at Vasquez."Honestly,I would like to listen to more of your sappiness but it is becoming increasingly disgusting and we do have a match to get
The Westbrook Games The girl in red
"FINALLY !!! THE OPPOSITION HAS FINALLY GROWN THE BALLS TO COME OUT OF THEIR RABBIT HOLES !!!! LET'S GET THIS SHOW ON THE FUCKING ROAD !!!!".The commentators voice resounded around the whole field as the crowd erupted in cheers and a wail of loud catcalls as Clay's team came to stand under the light.They stood in a single file,squinting yet again as all of the fields lights were once again on them like it had been earlier when they had first arrived.But this time, the lighting team seemed to have gotten better because it only stayed on them for a short while before it went off of them and spread over the entirety of the field, allowing them see the rest of the field and the people that had gathered on it to watch the fighters scheduled for today.More people had arrived while they had been in the school hell with Vasquez and the field was now thronged full with people but still almost no one stood or sat at the stands,they had all crammed themselves on to the parts of the field tha
