Chapter 9: Tourney

Tourney was dare I say awesome! Why didn't we have anything like this on Isle? It was both exciting and violent. Hadley couldn't help but smiling seeing PJ playing, he was actually good. All she knew was that he was a defender and was meant to stay behind the weird red line were people shoot arrows at or at least that's what she gathered from Lonnie's explanation. Which begs me the question how do I sign up for that job to shoot at people during the game? The game went by so fast and before they knew it the teams were tied with only seconds left. Hadley made a note to herself to have PJ explain the game to her. It looked like Jay was heading into the game dragging a terrified Carlos behind him. The girls started cheering louder seeing Jay and Ben try to set up the perfect goal only for the goalie to make a good save. Jay starts to drag Carlos down the field someone managing to avoid the arrows in the kill zone. Once Jay got the ball Carlos ran ahead and dropped to the ground ready for Jay to use him and his shield to get himself some air. Jay made the perfect pass to a ready Ben to make the winning goal. "we won?!"

As the team was cheering, Prince Ben jumped onto the podium grabbing the mic. Oh no this can't be good. All eyes were on Ben "excuse me, excuse me can I have your attention please? There's something I would like to say. Give me a M!" "M!" "give me an A!" "A" "give me a L!" "L!" "what does that spell?!" "MAL!" both Evie and Hadley screamed Mal's name on either side of her ears. Mal rolled her eyes as the girls started laughing. "come on I can't hear you!" "MAL!" "I love you Mal did I mention that?" Mal didn't know how to act. Hadley knew her sister was happy deep down even though she didn't want to show it. Ben decide to serenade his love with a song about how much he loves her. "What was in that cookie" Hadley started laughing. Both Hadley and Evie started mock dancing at Mal. Hadley was surprised at how well her and the blue haired girl were getting along.

Ben ended his song by throwing his jersey to Mal and then proceeded to crowd surf to her. Mal pushed him away before he could kiss her. Ben proceeded to put his arm around her instead "I love you, Mal. Did I mention that?" that moment was ruined when the bitch I mean Audrey ripped the mic from Ben dragging a love sick puppy Chad behind her "Chads my boyfriend now AND I'm going to the coronation with him so I don't need your pity date" with that she kissed Chad and instead of Ben being jealous he grabbed the mic and looked into Mal's green eyes "MAL! Will you go to the coronation with me?" "YES!" "she said yes!" Audrey rolled her eyes and walked away. It's what she deserves thought Hadley. Hadley knew Mal was happy even if it seemed fake for her plan Mal really liked Ben.

Evie stood there still shocked at the whole Audrey/Chad thing. She did everything for Chad and he couldn't give her the time of day. Hadley and Mal saw this and knew their friend (you heard right their friend) needed to hear this "I feel really sorry for Audrey" "you do?" "yeah, I feel like if she were talented like you and knew how to sew and do beauty tips she wouldn't need a prince to feel happy about herself" "she's got a point, E" "I guess I am kind of talented" "you defiantly are" "thanks guy". Jay managed to get most valuable player of the game. Not bad for a VK am I right?

She could see PJ in the crowd celebrating Jay. They locked eyes and instantly Hadley blushed. "Wait you like him?" Mal looked at her sister shocked "what no were friends" "yeah my ass you're friends" "were just as much friends as you and Ben are" "bull. He would be lucky to have you" "back at you". It was these little moments that confused the sisters. Yeah, they hated each other but deep down did they really. "Well when we get back to the dorm you need to spill everything about your date" Evie said with a mischievous grin "oh so there was a date" "not a date we just hung out" "well here he comes now". Hadley watched the red headed boy push through the crowd on the field and made his way to the stands.

PJ jogged up to the stands locking down on the white-haired girl. "so how did you enjoy your first Tourney game?" "Violent. I loved it. Couldn't understand it but I liked it" the two laughed "well I'm going to have to explain it to you over ice cream' "looking forward to it. Wait ice cream?" "you thought cake was good just wait for ice cream… it will blow your mind!"
