I'm so sorry I haven't updated in like ... 6months! Please don't hate me J

I knew where I wanted the story to go I just wasn't sure how to write it down in an appealing manner... But I did!

And THANK YOU to everyone who reviewed for chapter 5 and alerted my story!

A/N: the comp goes finals, semi finals and then grand finals.

Jake POV-

I followed Dad to where he had gone, Mike and Sarah following me impatiently waiting for the ball. We looked up to see Jimmy Murtough standing above us, Calvin by his side.

I felt Sarah tense behind me, looking around for a sign of Eliot.

"Well, well, well. Hi kids, fancy seeing you here...at the white house," he said, despite everything Jimmy still had a sense of superiority.

"We were going to watch Jessica and Kim compete at 2pm, they're in the competition," Mum said handing the ball back to an uninterested Mike.

"Come on! Let's keep playing!" he moaned.

"We'll go find Eliot, and the others then we'll have more players,"

Mike shrugged obviously uncaring; I figured it was because nobody in the Murtough family had any connection with him. He went off to play with Nigel and Kyle and I followed Sarah to find Eliot.

Jessica and Kim were chatting with Lisa and Robin, as Sarah found Eliot I heard Jessica squeal and Kim say "Really?"

Eliot and Sarah were talking and I didn't want to interrupt so I walked over to Jessica squealing.

"What are you squealing about?" I asked casually.

"Well, if we win-"she started.

"I know you get to meet the president..." I repeated.

"No," Jessica said impatiently, "And don't interrupt," Kim criticised.

"We get to represent our country!" They said in unison, "For the…competition thing?"

They nodded excitedly, "That's great" I decided.

"I know! Anyway we better go study..." Kim smiled, "See ya," they walked off with Lisa and Robin.

"What was that about?" Eliot asked from behind me, I smiled. "Eliot!"

I gave him a sort of handshake as Mike came back looking unhappy. I noticed Nigel and Kyle getting into the fountain gleefully.

"Eliot! Awesome…Can we play now?" I laughed, "Yeah Mike, let's go"

Henry POV-

"Come on guys, they're competing!" I yelled out the door and then realising that most people in the hall were silent. I smiled casually, and a few judgemental adults shook their heads in disappointment as if I was representing all kids everywhere.

Nigel and Kyle came bolting down and I stopped them feeling like a parent.

"Shuddup!" They frowned and walked in, Mike trailing along behind a squashed football that probably had a story, in his hands.

I went to close the door but Jake skated inside, after more judgemental glances, I closed the door. But wished I hadn't as someone ran straight into it, I cringed opening the door.

Mark and Kenneth swore loudly holding their heads idiotically, this time everyone turned around.

I took a deep breath pulling them both inside and closing the door, the announcer was glaring at us.

"Well, if your finished..." He said impatiently, "We are," Jake yelled out and if I wasn't holding Mark I could've hit him for the look I received from Kim was deathly.

We sat down and they began the questions, which grew longer and longer and droned on and on...

Nigel POV-

A buzzer went off suddenly and I jumped looking around, Sarah looked at me. "Were you asleep?"

I opened my mouth to say maybe, but she shook her head, "Wish I'd thought of that,"

"Didje smakiie?" I said slightly drooling.

"They're in finals?" Mark nodded and I smiled wiping my mouth.

I stood up to join in cheering happily, and we left to go round the side to meet Jessica and Kim who were standing outside a score sheet.

"We almost beat her! Almost!" Kim was looking at a score sheet and we all congratulated her.

Kim turned to Hannah, "What made you think that the last question was tomato?"

Hannah looked uncomfortably behind Kim at all of us, and we turned away but I could still hear.

"I wasn't going to say it because I was pretty sure I knew what it was but then I looked at you guys to make sure, and Amelia caught my eye...She was mouthing tomato and when I rethought it . . . well ... it just seemed right,"

"Damn," Sarah said from next to me as Kim and Hannah walked away talking.

"Looks like we're staying!" Dad declared.

"Why wouldn't we be staying?" I asked.

Henry explained to me that if they didn't make it in, we wouldn't have stayed.

"Right," I said distracted, "I'm going over to...Hey Kyle!"

Kyle came over "Do you know where Jake is?"

"Probably with Sarah," Kyle said.

"Who's probably with -"

"Eliot," Mike finished for me.

Thank you so much for reading! And please review :D
