Chapter 28:

Chapter 25 - Coke with lime and a double date night and Basketball

A boring life at school, or maybe....


Today is Friday, the last day of school this week.

I woke up in bed Sylvia wakes me up in bed.

“Wake up darling….” This really jumps me off the bed

“Hey!! Don’t scared me like that!!”

“Hurry up, mom said you to pray for subuh!!”

“Ah shit!!” I pray for subuh and prepared for school. Sylvia and mom prepared breakfast, while Hana and Tama getting ready. Someone in the toilet, to surprised me its Tama and she is not using a towel!! Oh shit!!! I see her whole body, Hana scream at me

“BIG BROTHER DON”T LOOK!!!!!!!” She drop kick me and my face slam at a wall next to the toilet

Sylvia went out and lectured Tama

“Hey!! Alex!! Don’t look at Tama!!!” She holding my head to the wall.

“Can’t breathe…”

“Don’t even breathe or just smell it!!”

“Hana get the towel now!!”

“Got it!!”

Hana took the towel and both of them pull Tama out of the toilet while I got stuck at the wall.

“Darling!!! Don’t use that toilet use the downstair got it!!”

“Early morning and its already that rowdy…eh son?”

“Ugh…” damn Hana mean kick and Sylvia strong grip hurts my face. I went down to the toilet, and Steward already prepared to school, while reading his books. I went to the bath, after I had done the others is done preparing leaving me alone, but the bus called but I’m still in the bath.

“Darling hurry up the bus is here!!”

“Shit!! Just go on ahead, I still in the toilet!!!”

“No I will wait!!”

“Mom!!! Tell them to go first!!”

I heard mom telling them to go first while I take my sweet time preparing myself.

When I got out from the toilet seems mom and sam rushing out

“Alex!! Seems you had a bike just take it and drive safely got it, I got to go seems the office needed me urgently today!! Bye!!”

“Yeah see ya”

I took my bike, and ride to school. I wonder why the bus driver was in a hurry but I use a different road from the back towards Donggongon once I pass through the quiet road, I reach the pathway to Lido Penampang road and head towards the city. I pass through the hospital and reach the school but it seems that I’m early. No one is here at the moment. I saw Mr Rahman have just arrived.

“Alex you up and early…”

“uh…where are the others?”

“Its seems some of the road had been block by some broken trucks so I’ve also manage to weave through”

Priscilla arrived with her bike

“Babe!!” She hugged me get off me!! I’m not a doll for you randomly hugging!!

“uh….we always in class you know”

“But never had a proper conversation!!”

“Uh get off me then!!”

We both entered the school heading to our class. Seems no one is here. We head to the class.

But we went out to the school bench in the middle of the school where the old willow tree within. We hang out there waiting for Mariam and Amin but Priscilla looking at me with seductive intent. Her pinafore is kinda small, I didn’t realise that she is showing her chest in front of me. What are you trying to do now? Better ignored it. I didn’t look at her

“Alex…”

She is really looking at like she wanted to do something or whatever is it in my imagination. Shit!! I need to get out of it. I better find ways, getting out of this. Why can’t you just hang around like normal people do not just going on a seducing someone.

“Its your fault for ignoring me” she suddenly climbing from the table and crawling like a cat. Her sexy pose asking me to take her down!! What the fuck!! This is getting bad.

“I want a date with you again, like the other night…” she pull my neck tie. She is aggressive, I don’t think I could get out of this. She going to get what she wants now.

“Come on Alex…if you don’t, I’m going to visit your house then…” 🤯shit!! Why the hell is my own house!!! You must be bored right!! Fine then!!

“Calm down Pris…stay….still…” she is still close to my face and wanted to kiss me. She is pretty but I had to control myself. If other boys they will for sure going for the bait. I give up.

“Alright!! alright!! Fine then I’ll date you, just tell me the date and time”

“Tonight…” eh? I can’t if Hana and Sylvia finds out I’m not going to survive for the night

“I got the dress and suit ready for you and me….and a hotel for us to stay for the night…” oh shit this is getting even worst. There is no way in chance I’m getting out of this!! She is teasing me now. Her fingers at my face I’m not arouse but scared as heck remembering Natalie, Hana and Sylvia behind me looking to kill me.

“Darling….” Oh shit😨 don’t tell me its I can’t look behind I could feel it.

“Darling…..” Eh her voice is not Sylvia but its Mariam!!😱 it gets even worst now

“Kukuku…early in the morning you going on a hunt for girls again…kukuku😈”

“Dude get a room…” fuck you Amin read the atmosphere will ya!!

“Darling….” This time is a familiar voice and she is embracing me at the back. Its Sylvia

“Big brother…💢…is this the reason why you purposely late going out…” oh hell no even Hana

“We going on a date tonight…a special dinner” Priscilla 💢 what the hell are you telling this early in the morning, there is going to be a blood bath with now, come on give me some slack!! And you’re the one that forcing me.

Mar help me will ya, I look at her and she smile

“Oh…I don’t know if I want to because I also have another place to go with Amin…😈” bitch!! You suppose to back me up!! I look at Amin

“uh…ouch!!” Mariam stomping his foot really hard.

“Yeah hahahaha I’ve also had plans hahahahaha….” He is tied with Mar. I’m dead😨

“If he is on a date maybe I could…..join…with him…I haven’t had dated him yet…”

Sylvia and Priscilla is glaring at each other while laughing

“Ah the more the merrier its seems we’re going on fancy dinner I wonder if you had any proper dress, want to borrow mine? not that you could fit though…” Priscilla giggle

“Ah, don’t worry about me, I’m just going to make sure that Alex is just going to have only dinner…just eating..got it…and you paying senior…” she tightly hugging me, she is choking me.

I heard a camera shot and its Mariam.

“There another memory for you…kukuku…” oh shit she is going to make it worst again!!

“Alright tonight then babe…”

“Uh..ye..”

“Yes tonight..right darling..” She is choking me her boobs is hitting me

Hana jumps from the table and push the two in between she glaring at the two.

“Bad girl!! Both of you stay away from big brother!!”

Mariam and Amin just looking at me like I’m some comedian and they started to hold their laugh.

“The natural born lady killer is at it again!!” Mariam

“Geez man, when are you going to stop?” When you stop talking like that asshole!!

“Hmm!!” Priscilla walk out to class, and she did a flying kiss “see you tonight, B.A.B.E”

Sylvia and Hana block my view of Priscilla, Hana poke my eyes, it hurts like hell

“Hey, my eye!!! That hurts asshole!!”

“That is for being vulnerable!!”

“Why you little squirt!! When I get my hands on you!!” I chase Hana while my vision is blurry, I heard from Mariam shouting at me

“That is!!!”

I see Hana and did a clothesline at her. When I gain my vision its Mr Rahim!! 😱 oh shit he is unconscious

We all run away back to class, as if it never happens. When Mr Rahim entered class and he shouted

“WHO THE HELL!! DID THAT?” He didn’t remember lucky!!

“What happen captain?”

“Someone just tackle me out of nowhere and I realise I’m on the floor. WHO DID THAT EH!!!!ARGHH!!” He is the pirate captain though..

This time is revenge for the two, I pointed at Amin and Mariam

“DID YOU TWO DO IT!!!?”

“asshole🖕🏼 Alex” Mariam

“Dude!! You’re jackass!! We going to die honey!!”

“Its Amin he is jealous that I talk to Alex and he went on a rampage accidentally hitting you captain..” Damn she is cold blooded

“babe😨…” shit…he going to be sacrifice but all others agreed to this.

“AMIN!!!” Oh shit

“THE CAPTAIN IS GOING TO DROP HIM TO THE PLANKS!!!”

“ITS MR RAHIM EVERYONE THIS TIME YOU ALL ARE GOING TO THE PLANKS!!!” He getting along with the skit jokes. Everyone laugh

“AMIN AFTER CLASS YOU GOING TO CLEAN THIS CLASS SPOTLESS!!!”

“RIGHT CAPTAIN AHOY!!!”

“I TOLD YOU ITS MR RAHIM UNDERSTAND!!!!”

“YES CAPTAIN!!!” everyone shouted

“ARGHH!!!” Everyone laugh

After class I help Amin and Mariam clean the classroom, but the others also help.

Maya ask Mariam

“Alex is getting popular these day…but he is cute though…”

“Kukuku..yep he is…”

“Yo Amin I heard a rumours and is all over the news…”

“Whats up?” I wanted to hear it while cleaning the window

“Someone from our school beating down a group of gangster and save someone from Borneo College, a boy and a girl..”

“Whoa must be pretty strong for a guy like that huh I wonder”😒 he is looking at me and approach me

“Wha? What are you looking at me like that?”

“Must be a different school, but honey!!”

“Yo!! Honey whats up?”

He whispered to Mariam and she smiling

“kukuku…Alex…🥰.” Oh shit she is looking at me

“Did you do it?”

“Huh? No I didn’t”

“Because no one is crazy enough beating down a group of gangs like that…”

“I said I didn’t will ya💢 will that get to your head!!”

“Oho…really….” Geez she is relentless

“I said no I didn’t you gotta believe me will ya” everyone look at me in and don't believed a thing that I said 😒

“Its Alex, everyone knows that you are the only one that could do that…” Mariam

“Are you brainwashing them or something…”

“no…” everyone

“I said I didn’t do it!!!”

“Oh really…”

“Nope it must be Alex” everyone in sync

We hang around at the podium, and Mariam started to get serious asking me question

“There since no one is here but me and Amin what happen?”

I explain about what happen to Sylvia and Steward and the incident that I went to the hospital because of it

“Damn man I heard from dad that you were hospitalise but never knew it went down to that”

Mariam then hold my shirt and looked really pissed

“You stupid you could call us, then we could help you bro!!”

“Nah, it will be too late for that because they literary in front of the house, by the time you arrived it could get even worst.. at least I’m could go all out beating those asshole…”

“Next time call us got it, we’re the three musketeer…” Mariam

“Damn man, never thought Sylvia gone through that…fuck….I hate that kind of people”

“yeah…I hate it as well…”

Sylvia is there as well and Mariam approach her

She hugged her

“He tell you right…but…”

“We not just friends here we’re like sister here got it!! I hate to see Alex like that again!!”

“Thanks” she cried

“Now everything settle and this time we into this together, Sylvia just call me okay!! Don’t just leave it like that!!”

“Got it now for the real matter tonight” she really change to mood here, she is really pissed at me

“This time I going to put a leash on you just to make sure you don’t get into girl trouble again”

“I could join as well, I haven’t had any Amineum for a while…🥰”

“Uh…honey I’m always hang around with you know…”

“I can’t join you know I have a basketball training today you know…”

“No chance, you want to see Sylvia and Priscilla having a cat fight later on” Mariam

“Then you prefer they had a cat fight at a restaurant?”

“I don't know about it…I can’t think now…”

“Yeah…he will I had dress prepared for babe”

Priscilla is here as well

“Well, well you here as well bitch…😉” Priscilla

“Aren’t you swell didn’t your elders taught you about manners?💢” Sylvia

Sylvia and Priscilla is gunning at each other, Mariam then stop the two

“Well then since you wanted to get a hold on my own brotha here, how about you ladies settle this tonight without killing each other apart…for now”

“Alex you had training right let me handle this okay!!” Mariam is scheming something here.

“Yo bro…seems the basketball team is here already”

“Hey Captain!!!”

“Looks like I’m up see ya guys”

I meet the new team members, Frankie introduce them to me

“YES SIR!!”

“The name is Thiru position centre and power forward. I’m the 2nd vice captain here, nice to meet you all!!”

“YES SIR!!”

“I’m Alex, Captain of the Daggers team here, my position Shooting guard and Point guard including small forward”

“Ahh….he could play almost all position”

“Welcome to this team we have a target that is the semi pro and MNBL that is our goal for this team to participate with the higher level games so everyone will notice us and you all will have a future in this sports, got it!!”

“YES SIR!!!”

“So I did discuss with your captain, and I want to test you all in a friendly games now”

“Huh?”

“Warm up!! We divided our team now to choose who will be reserved and who will be the starting 5…”

“Got it!!”

“Lets divide”

1st team - Frankie (Centre), Thiru (power forward), Peter (small forward), Choong Lee (Shooting guard), (Jackson - point guard)

2nd team - Alex (small forward), Fredickson (Centre), Danish (Power forward), Mikhail (shooting guard), Devinson (point guard)

While Long Man will be either those team to set and ask him to warm up and training the dribbling.

“Got it captain!!” The coach has arrived

“Good already set”

Everyone is ready for the match while the crowd is watching.

“Look at Frankie damn he is tall!!”

“But what about Alex!! We don’t know yet how good he is?”

Team 1 at least Thiru and Frankie could dunk while my team is only Danish but I got another surprised for them. Suddenly Peter approach me

“Captain!!”

“Yeah?”

“If I beat you, I will take your captain armband!!”

“Sure, want it now?”

“Gah!! I said when I beat you!!” He is cocky nice to have that kind of player

“Devinson!!”

“Yeah!!”

“Shoot it! Now!!”

“Ah okay!!”

He shoot it and I run towards the basket and alley oop and slam dunk it!! Everyone is shocked to see it!!

“He dunk it!! He really dunk it”

“But its 10 feet away how the hell!!”

Peter was shocked and I tell him

“If you could dunk maybe I could consider…”

“Show off captain!!” Frankie

“At least give them some competition” we high five

“Alright let us begin!! Long Man you’ll be the referee!!”

“Got it!!”

We start in the centre at the starting line up.

“Alright boys let show them we the best!!”

“Alright!!”

Frankie and Fredickson in the starting line up to catch the ball. Frankie easily get the ball and pass to Peter, he charges forward and tried to shoot to the basket but I know it will miss with the way how reckless he shoot. It bounce back, see told ya.

“Dammit!!”

“Rebound!!”

“Devinson get our rhythm first then we attack!! Got it!!”

“Alright!!”

Devinson pass to Mikhail and he shoot it and went in nice!!

“ 0 : 2 !!”

Frankie pass to Thiru and pass to Jackson he dribbles his way to the front, Peter is waiting. I’m waiting for a chance to counter a fast break. Peter recklessly enter the centre and Jackson saw the opportunity and pass to him, that’s my cue I steal the ball, and instantly speed through their back line but Peter catch up to me

“There is no way a chance for you to dunk it”

“who say that I’m going to dunk it”

I stop at the outline and shoot, It went in

“Three points!!!!”

“What the hell happen?”

“Is that their captain!?”

“He is really good”

Everyone is cheering the team, at least good for their morale.

“ 0 : 5!!”

The gap is getting farther. Peter tried again and shoot from the points it misses again.

“Dont just randomly shoot it bro, check your arm!!”

“Ah…got it!!”

Thiru’s turn and he pass to Jackson which he coordinate with Frankie and he dunk it

“2 : 5!!”

“YEAH!!!”

I took the ball and pass to Devinson which Thiru steal the ball, and he pass to Peter which he lay up the ball and went in. Not bad for that kind of move.

“4 : 5!!”

They getting close and Peter started to get cocky

“This time I’ll be the captain!!”

“Alright!! Go for it, I’ll root for ya!!”

“After the game!! If we win!!”

“Right…”

The truth is I’m not serious yet because I wanted to see all of their potential before showing the difference. Choong shot the ball and it went in

“6 : 5!!”

Then I pass to Danish where he look for player but Peter is in front of him, but Peter accidentally hit him and its foul. That is one feisty guy.

Danish pass to me again, and Peter is one on one with me. I lower my dribbling so he couldn’t steal it.

“That is cheating!!!”

“Better practice your dribbling then bro!!” I pass through him and Frankie, Choong and Thiru block me I slot in the ball to the basket and it went in

“6 : 7!!”

“Whoa that is some crazy moves that captain!!”

I heard from Frankie

“Peter!! He is our ace got it!! Learn from him!!”

“gah no way I’m the ace here!!”

Danish head forward and pass to Devinson where he pass to me and I pass to Mikhail he is free from no one, because Peter focus on me.

“Hey he is free no one there!!”

“Shit!!!”

Mikhail shoot from a far and it went in

“6 : 10”

“That is some insane shot!!!”

Frankie seems want to change his tactics and use Choong as their main firepower nice move Frankie. Frankie pass to Jackson where he ask Choong to find an open space. And Peter shouted at him but he passed to Choong and he took the shot it went in

“9 : 10!!” Their rhythm is at their pace. I passed it to Danish and he passed to Mikhail, I shouted at them

“Alright lets do this slowly got it!!”

“Yes sir!!”

We set our pace a bit slower pissing them off. I pass to Fredickson in the centre and he is one on one with Frankie, he need that towering opponent experience. He look intimidate and I ask him to pass to me again, but the we have 24 second to set it. And I wanted Peter to think that I’m going to attack, and I move forward. And it work seems his cockiness had taken the bait. He’s blocking me and Frankie shouted

“Mikhail is open you idiot!!!”

I passed to Mikhail and he shoot it, went in perfectly, seems Mikhail is a good shooter.

“9 : 12!!!” Everyone shouted “go!! Team!!

Looks like Mikhail has fan club

“AH!!!! Mikhail!!! We love you!!” Banner of 4-unicorn,

2 minits left until end of 1st quarter. But I got to scare them a bit this time. By giving them a huge gap.

Frankie pass to Peter and I steal the ball back and I speed off and break their defence, I take a long shot it went in.

“9 : 15!!!”

“Damn that captain he is good!!”

“You idiot that is Alex!!”

“That bastard!! He still owe us some revenge for spraying us water!!”

Yikes seems they still remember it

Choong head towards the attack only been steal by me again and Frankie, Thiru and Peter head towards me I pass to Mikhail and taken the shot it went in

“9 : 18!!!”

“The gap is getting farther!! Looks like team 1 need to keep the pace!!”

Jackson is leading this time and pass to Thiru, I took that chance and steal again

“Thanks!!”

I speed through again Frankie is powerless against me I dunk it

“9 :20!!”

“1 min left”

In a minute I give the team 8 points. Looks like they begin to demoralise except Peter and Frankie

Choong want to take the shot but I took it and speed again to take the 3 points

“9 : 23!!”

“40 seconds left”

The crowd is getting restless and they shouted at me

“HEY ALEX, DONT GET TOO HARD ON THEM!!” Amin

I give him a middle finger🖕🏼 fuck off

Peter this time speed through and almost taken the shot and I block it and pass to Devinson

“Fast-break!!!”

All of the run all out, I realise that Peter is getting tired, Frankie tried to block it and Mikhail took it but it was block by Thiru and the ball pass to me, and I took it again another 3 points

“9 : 26!!”

“This is a demolition job!! Team 2 is getting away pretty far”

Thiru started to get tired again, Jackson take the lead and I stole from him and Peter tried to block me, I smile at him

“This is not even the real competition captain?”

“Dammit!!”

I taken the shot and I got another 3 points again

“9 : 29!!”

“Being a captain is not just being getting the scores but to lead bro…”

“20 seconds left!”

Frankie throw really hard and Peter is ahead of me, I run as fast as I could and I reach him. But he wanted to take the shot, he hold my hind legs and as he was about to shoot, I jump and block the shot and pass to Mikhail and he pass to Devinson, he speed through and taken a lay-up and it went in

“ 9 : 31!!”

“10 seconds!!”

Peter said that he will take it and he pass to Frankie only that I steal again. Time is counting from 5

“5,4,3,2” a loud slam from the basket, I dunk it

“9 :33!!” Quarter time is over!! Break for 5 mins

Team 1 most of them are burn out quickly except Frankie while Team 2 Mikhail and me is not tired. We now know who has the longer stamina.

“Looks like you guys are tired…eh…how about our future captain?”

“Thats being cheating how the hell you never get tired what’s worst, you didn’t even break a sweat”

“If you want to learn how I train then I could…but I’m pretty sure some of you guy will never seen daylight again”

“Geez that sound scary”

“Big brother!!”

“Squirt!!”

“Can I take the shot from the basket?”

“Sure go on ahead…”

“That is a tall basket ain’t for little kids like you”

Maybe this will another break from them. Seeing how Hana is one of the MVP of the Arizona little champs girls basketball

“Okay!!”

She took the shot and she did a perfect form from the 3 points area. The ball flew off straight up like a rocket and it went in perfectly. Everyone is shocked including the team

“How the hell she do that!?”

“Do it again Squirt!!”

“Got it!!”

She took it again and taken the shot again it went in perfectly

“See that’s how you take a perfect shot”

Everyone cheered at Hana

“That girls got some firepower!!”

“Hana is the captain of the girls SIGMA primary level girls Basketball team”

Peter is frozen in disbelief

“This time our team is really good, we could have a chance in the championship”

“yeah…”

“DAMN!!!! That is awesome, that’s your little sister!!?”

“Yeah….”

“God dammit!! Mikhail that’s how you do a shot!!”

“Shut up!! You better practice your shot then!!”

“Grrr!!! Mr popular!!”

“Alex seems your team is really good..” Coach

“Because I’m here but this time I want to create pressure for team 2…Long Man!!”

“Yes sir?”

“You take my place!!”

Everyone is surprised but Frankie said to team 1

“This is our chance to take the lead!!”

“Oho, you want to see what is the difference between them now without you”

“Yeah, I plan to stop playing because I have other commitment”

I give the captain armband to Devinson

“You the point guard guide them got it”

“Got it” looks like Sadie is here as well

“Thanks senior!! For giving us a place here!!”

I smile at them.

“Go on ahead Devinson!! This is your chance to be the main point guard”

Did not expected Devinson is one of the star player of Borneo College basketball team

“I rarely got a chance to train with them because I’m smaller”

I push his back and said to him

“This is the time go”

Looks like Team 1 is fired up while Team 2 is devising a plan

The coach become the referee because I’m not good as a referee

I observe them while Team 1 is look really fired up

“With their ace is out, now Is our turn to show the captain!!”

“OOOOO!!!”

In 2 mins I just saw the massive difference between them

“19 : 38!!” They instantly chase back lost points but with Mikhail, Danish, and Devinson is around there is still some firepower with them but they started to struggle

Mikhail started to get tired from Peter relentless blocking, while Devinson managing well leading the team.

“The difference in the team shown really well without you around” Mariam

“Hey Mar…”

“I had a feeling that this team is missing something”

“Missing? They missing one important thing….”

“And that is?”

“Passion to win…”

Looks like Devinson shouted at the team

“Guys focus!! Will ya that our captain is looking at us now!! Don’t let him down!!”

“Oooo!!!”

Devinson pass to Mikhail and he took the shot but Peter tried to block it, but its a fake and pass to Devinson. Pass after pass they manage to weave through and this time Fredickson is one on one with Frankie he over took Frankie and did the shot it went through

“19 : 40!!”

“Oooooo!!!!!” Fredickson roars

“Dont get your heads up focus will ya!!”

“Got it!!”

Peter really shown his talent and he instantly lay up the shot and it went in quickly

“That is what we want!!” He is really cocky

After some game they close to a tie

“38 : 42!!”

Looks like if the friendly match with Borneo College is pretty easy compared to this.

The time is 30 seconds

Peter again in the attack and he taken the 3 points and its already 41 : 42

“41 : 42!!”

Mikhail is getting really tired from the game, Long Man is struggling with the game, but he played well, then I ask Long Man to used a different style of play

Long Man’s turn for the attack and he taken the lay-up overtaking Frankie and Thiru it went in

“41 : 44!!”

Long Man give me a high five.

At the end of the 2nd quarter the result is 41 : 44

“How do you feel the full force of team 1?”

“They are really strong…” Devinson

“Really I don’t think so…”

“Frankie is towering the defence and Peter is like a monkey going all out and placing out of no where”

“What did I do with him them…”

“Ahh!!! Okay we go with that”

Mikhail really loved this idea and wanted to get him back. Seems I sense rivalry here. But Long Man is really tired from it

“Captain…this is my first game throughout my school like but its worth it!! But…”

“No buts keep playing will ya!!”

“Alright!!”

The 3rd quarter seems like team 2 is fired up while team 1 is getting cocky

“This time we going all out”

The difference is they really wanted Peter tired out in the next 7 mins Peter is really flat out. It really funny Devinson tactics

“89 : 92!!”

I realise that both team now rarely taking 3 points but Devinson is keeping Mikhail really fit until the last game. Long Man is really improving his game. At the end of the game, the game is really close

“100 : 105!!”

I meet both teams

“Looks like you all are really tired…except Frankie, Mikhail, Jackson and Devinson not bad…”

“Thanks Captain!!”

The last quarter is the next level where Mikhail really shown his worth, he shooting on the 3 points really hurt them, Choong is also doing it great with the shot. In just 3 mins the points is shown from there

“110 : 112!!”

Peter is really tired from the relentless playing by Devinson and Mikhail while Danish and Fredickson is taking out Frankie fire power. In the 5th mins the points is now 115 : 130. I called for a change for Peter to take me in

They were surprised by this and Frankie said to me

“Looks like this team 2 is really good…”

“Is because of Devinson leadership, he is a really good point guard, I’m going to put extra pressure this time”

“Oh shit!! The captain is with them”

I smack Thiru’s and Choong ass I ask Jackson to be the small forward. While I become the point guard.

“Mikhail is a really good shooter, while Devinson has already create a good chemistry between them”

“Frankie and me will be the firepower while the others prevent them from any fast - break got it!!”

“OOOOOOO!!!!!”

Peter is really tired from the game

Devinson started the game I stole from him and speed through I saw Mikhail and Danish blocking me and he charge through. But I back pass to Frankie and slam dunk it until its shaken

“117 : 130!!!”

Everyone cheered to Frankie


“gorilla DUNK!!!!”

“The captain is insane!! How could he make that move”

Devinson knew that he is overpowered by me and pass to Mikhail and he wanted to shoot but I block it and pass to Frankie and he speed through. I shout at Peter

“HEY BRO WATCH!!!”

I speed through and jumps in air, while floating Mikhail, Danish and Fredickson is blocking me but I manage to pass through and dunk it.

“119 : 130!!”

Everyone cheered

“OOOOOO!!!!! The team ACE!!!!”

Sylvia and Priscilla shouted at me

“ALEX I LOVE YOU!!!!😍”

“YO!!!! That is insane!!!” Amin

“HEY ALEX!!! NICE!!!” Mariam

“Big brother is the best showoff!” Hana

4 mins left but plenty of time to catch up seems they a bit demoralise by me. Long man in the attack only been steal by me again and speed through and ask Thiru something crazy

“Thiru!! Alley-op!!!”

“Huh!!”

“Do it!!!”

I pass to him and he dunk it!!!

Everyone cheered him

“YO!!!!!!!!”

Thiru could not believed it that he dunk it.

“121 : 130!!”

I ask Choong to show what he really is and I steal from Devinson and pass to Choong and he taken a beautiful form shot and it went in 3 points for us

“124 : 130!!”

Devinson said to me

“You are really good when the last time I saw you playing easily beating the Borneo College first team I’m really inspired!!”

“Then show me what you got!!”

“OOOO!!”

Devinson dribbles through but I steal from him and speed through and I passed to Choong again he did it with the beautiful shot again. It went in.

“127 : 130!!”

“OOOOOOOO!!!!!YEAH!!!!!” Choong roar!!

In their eyes they knew I’m the ace but I wanted Peter to become the Ace because of his similar skill like me only that his Achilles heel is stamina.

Devinson took it and shot but I bounce

“Rebound!!”

Frankie took it but Danish takes over and pass to Devinson but I took it and speed again to take the 3 points shot, it went in.

“130 :130”

“Its a tie!!!”

Yes!! Finally giving them pressure

Peter is observing the game and I look at him and signalling him “watch and learn…”

2 mins left but Mikhail giving his best shot it went in now its 3 points different

“130 : 133”

Everyone is excited to see the game even some student from Borneo college is observing.

“This look fun compared to Borneo team”

“We got our own ace, that’s their captain”

Devinson pass carelessly to Danish and he shouted

“You idiot!!”

I took it and said to him “thanks focus will ya!!”

I run towards the basket and dunk it

“132 : 133!!”

Its really close but now its 1 min left before the games ended.

Both team is on defensive is man to man move by Devinson knowing that they are tired. Only left 20 seconds until 10 second. This is where I’m good at, being a buzzer beat since in America. I instantly run solo, I had flashback again in the game in Arizona where Natalie is the cheerleader I dribble on the side, Danish and Mikhail give everything they got and I dribble pass through them and Peter shouted

“block it!!!!!”

I jump to the basket 4 of them including Devinson. But I’m going to show them my skill that I used in the game in America.

I begun to switch both my hands and time move slow in my vision and I slot it in and scores

“134 : 133!!”

“Game set!! Time’s up!!” Team 1 wins

All of them now know that this team is really strong. Looks like Borneo College basketball team is also looking at us, I could see in their eyes that they are intimidated.

Mariam said to me

“They look really scared…”

The coach of the team could not believed what they had saw

Devinson said to me

“The best revenge I seen the look in their eyes when they going to meet us”

I give a gesture “I’m watching you” they all then said out loud

“We will meet in the game soon!!” And they leave

I started to announce the starting 5 of the team with agreement of Coach David

“I will announce the starting 5 of the team” Peter look disappointed but I’m going to surprised them all

“Frankie!! (Centre), Mikhail!! (Shooting guard), Power forward!! Danish!!, Point guard!! (Devinson!!)”

Sadie seems overjoy and hug him “congrats Devin!!”

“Finally Small forward (Peter!!)”

He seems surprised by this

“But I’m not good with my stamina yet”

“Jackson and Long Man will switch between Peter got it!!”

“Yes sir!!”

“Choong and Mikhail will switch with each other got it!!”

“Yes sir!!”

“Thiru and Danish will switch got it!!”

“Got it boss!!”

“Frankie and Fredrickson will be our main centre member”

“We finally ready Captain”

“For those whose height 5’5 below they will be an extra training for you guys including Peter, Coach David will provide the training”

“What do you think coach!?”

“This will do, we will get this to the championship I’m pretty sure about it”

“I’m confident we could rule the west coast but other in Sabah not sure yet”

“yes…”

“There is a new competition sponsor by Borneo Foundation is called the Borneo Champions League, and the good news we are in”

“There was a scout just now they saw our practice game and they are impress”

One person suddenly called us

“Congrats, we already declared you guys Semi-pro level players!! Even Borneo College players is nothing compared to you guys”

“Mr Alex, I wanted to see you in the games soon”

“Thank you sir…we will have a friendly with Borneo College next week hope you will come”

“Will be…well then I take my leave”

Everyone is overjoy

Frankie is fired up

“Looks like we going to be pros!!! More training soon!! Got it!!!”

“oh shit!!!” Peter

“No Excuses!!”

Eventually SIGMA Daggers will be a pro team but that will be another story.

After the practice game I left the club team and clean myself. But now facing another thing is this night dammit!!

Sylvia and Priscilla approach me

“Darling…” oh shit

“Babe don’t forget!! I’ll meet you in Sunset Beach Resort!!”

Priscilla ride her bike and speed off. Sylvia pinch my back “only eating got it and this time I will go, no more excuses..💢” ouch that hurt. Sylvia head back with Hana, and Jackson while I took the bike and head to Priscilla. Once reach there. Someone is waiting for me and its her aunt Doctor Maggie and she said to

“She is really excited about something about a rival…I don’t know but this is really good for her mental health…” eh mental health?

“Alright here is the suit and you should head to the bathroom there is already arrange, including a hotel suite? Wait a second is she…oho she is gunning for you, I’m backing her up” what the fuck? You’re her aunty to suppose to avoid that!! There is no way a chance that I could stay that way. She push me to the bathroom and she ran off somewhere looking excited. This another problem for me.

I wanted to escape but my bike is been locked. Son of a bitch!! She is really making sure I couldn’t escape!! A man called me

“Mr Alex..please proceed to the changing room arrange by Madame Priscilla”

Madame? What the hell? Is she that rich?”

“Mr Newman is expecting you sir…” 🤯 eh!? What the fuck!! No way!! I going back there is no way I’m going through all this, and the man tied me up and carried me, he is really strong.

“Forgive me Mr Alex but Madame Priscilla insisted that you must be dress properly…”

Oh hell no!!🥶 he carried me and inside in full of maids and butler trying to make me properly dress. Who the hell is she? They ask me to clean myself and I said to them

“Uh let me do it myself…”

“We could not allowed that Madame ask us personally to be at your best”

“What the hell!! Get off me!!” I have been strip by the maids and butlers and they instantly dress me. My hair is pull back like a mafia, they made a perfectly fit to my size. Not a single inch not missed.

“Now its perfect please proceed to the restaurant, we have arrange all of it”

Its already dark and I saw Priscilla there and she wear a really beautiful black dress prepared for dinner. The place is empty

“Its been reserved by me, no one is allowed to enter..other than your family and friends…”

“Huh!? What the hell all of this?”

“My father is here…”

“Could I leave?”

“Nope🥰” seems now I have another dangerous person here. We waited at the table and we drink coke and lime in a special champagne glass. I smell something and its alcohol.

“I dont drink that…”

“Then..” She flick her finger and another drink the same drink without alcohol

“Madame…the guest have arrived as well”

“Very well give them a seat…they are my special guest”

I saw few range rovers together oh shit!! All of them!! Mom, Hana, Sam, Amin, Mariam, Hazlan, Tama, Sylvia, and Steward!! 🤯 they dress fancy. The guys wear a fancy suit while Mariam is wearing cheongsam, Mom wore a really fancy malay Kebaya. Hana wore a cute dress as well including Sam. But the one that give me awe is Sylvia, I never seen her so beautiful. She wore the same color like Priscilla. Now the big problem now is me, smack in the middle of this crazy stuff.

“Welcome!! Told ya I paid all…you look pretty intimidating”

“Well. Its like going to war…with a bitch…”

They glaring at each other, Mariam approach and whisper to me

“Alex you in for treat because she is not an ordinary girl….she is really an elite of the elites”

“Yo bro just enjoy the ride” I smile and give him 🖕🏼💢 they both really enjoying tormenting me.

My mom hold my shoulder and said to me “see told ya you going to have another experience” Mom!! Not you also. Doctor Maggie arrive and smile at me

“Oh…now you look really handsome Alex…” 

“Yeah like I’m going to die from all of this…”

“Nope you not going to die because Priscilla is really excited to meet her dad and she wanted to introduce him to you all is a rare treat”

“I just want to know, who is really Priscilla…”

“A real princess…”

“Ahh, take it back again…”

“Her true name is Priscilla Victoria Newman, Duchess of Artorist, Lady of Wales”

Dammit a noble, oh hell no. while Sylvia and Priscilla is having glaring fight I head to Mariam and Amin in another table I look at them seeing their faces really pisses me off

“hehehe🥰 this is the cherry on the top…right honey” fuck you bitch!!

“Yeah…nothing sweeter than this right Alex…” when I get my hands on you dude!! “Mr Alex please seat the at the table with Madame Priscilla and Lady Sylvia”

“Ugh maybe later…?” He pull me off and Mariam and Amin wave at me, motherfucker!!

I sat here in middle between Sylvia and Priscilla ugh if Natalie see this, only to hear a camera shutter I saw from Mariam while she is smiling. She is really scheming here.

“Darling…we just going to eat okay….nothing else…” she look really scary now.

“Babe…don’t forget our arrangement tonight” oh hell no

Then someone arrive and called Priscilla

“My sweet Victoria…”

“Father!!”

“This is my dad, Lord Eric Newman the 5th, Lord of Wales”. He bowed in an elegant way

I stand up and Sylvia bowed as well. Everyone around bowed as well. I really wish Amin and Mariam bowed at me.

“This is my friends Sylvia and Alex including all of them”

“Indeed I am overjoy Victoria” he is crying

“But enough of this etiquette, we are enjoying dinner together with my beloved daughter”

“Thank you for the offer Lord Eric..” Dammit I have to follow it or else more trouble for me.

“I thank you for the offer as well Lord Eric” safe!!

“You have wonderful friends here”

“Yes father…”

Is this what it mean to be in royalty? But I keep to myself for a while, I remember how Natalie taught me about this royal etiquette is a good thing that there is some use to it. But I saw Priscilla really adore her father, to the point that she is like a little kid. Sylvia whispered to me and hold my arm

“I’m holding my anger now..” Oh shit she is really mad now.

“Stay still…”

While Priscilla introduce all of them never expected Mariam could manage to speak formally to them. Priscilla introduce my mom, and Hana bowed at the Lord

“My how wonderful this child is”

“I came here to prevent big brother taken by a bad girl”

My mom spurt out some water from her cup, even me and Sylvia is shock but at the same time Sylvia is smiling.

“HAHAHAHA!!! This child really adores his big brother just like me to Victoria, Alex I really like you little sister and all of you…”

Then we continued to enjoy the dinner together with me, Sylvia and Priscilla with her father.

“When I heard that my daughter suddenly wanted to back to school I was overjoy, never expected she suddenly wanted to. I thank you for that Mr Alex” he bowed at me

“Its nothing sir, she just had some trauma that the elite school she went before..”

“Ahh I heard from my daughter that her wishes came true…like some James Bond story”

“Ahh..” Oh shit it must be that incident where I was chase by Mariam, Amin and the mob of seniors while taking her boat away. Sylvia suddenly glaring at me

“Ahh…is that so….we need to talk a lot about this” She is pinching me while Priscilla is smiling at me

“Seems my daughter is enjoying life at school don’t you think Victoria”

“Yes father!! SIGMA the name…I wanted to contribute it as well, and the student council president appointed me as the disciplinary council member”

“Why that is incredible my daughter is part of the council, indeed this is an achievement make me proud show them the proper way how to be a proper student”

“Yes father” I’m going to see that in a different way though.😓

We enjoying the dinner while Sylvia is really making sure I’m not getting trap by Priscilla. Mariam however approach her father and said to him

“Lord Newman thank you for the dinner”

“Ah Mariam!!! Thank you for teaching my little niece in ballet before, sorry that I did not realise that was you…hahahaha!!”

“Yes sir Newman as a token of appreciation I will perform a Spanish dance for the lord and lady here Alex help me!! With the drum!!”

I head there with the drum instrument while Amin head there with his guitar and stand there. While Mariam dance the flamenco. Amin is really talented with his guitar skills, he ask me to handle the castanet and drum. I never expected Hana could dance like Mariam as well, when did she teach her to dance. The lord enjoyed it so as Priscilla as well.

Sylvia also wanted to perform to the Prince as well and she wanted to sing the a song. From Mariah Carey underneath the star

Everyone is in awe even Priscilla. I however suddenly starstruck Mariam knock me

“See told ya, you need to meet a lot of girls..I’m going to get Natalie this time, you are really popular to the point she will regret finding other guys”

She is really wanted to make her die in embarrassment or envy😑

“Sylvia is really talented in singing a hymn”

“Yeah I know that she is always in the choir”

“Yeah I have a new idea of a festival performance that will make the festival pop, and the main star is Sylvia”

While they playing the music seems like Priscilla also join the singing performance now is like a karaoke. Mom also enjoy the fun. Mr Newman called me

“Come son walk with me”

“Ah got it…”

We walk out from the place and another bodyguard is following him but he ask them to be private. Where he sat at the bench and starting having a conversation with me

“Seems Victoria enjoys this place a bit more than what she had gone through”

“Yeah she did told me about it.”

“Priscilla told me a lot about you, that she is drawn to your carefree life style”

“Really..but its just that is kinda boring for her to alone like that”

“Yes but since you become her friend she never felt any kind of boredom any longer as if the curse that has happen to her before is gone…”

“You know Mr Newman, she is really strong, at least in a fight she could cover my back”

“Hahahaha yes she told me about that, you know that she told me that like a knight suddenly appeared before her to escape from a dungeon that kept her…”

“But I believed that it is up to her what she wants, is not marriage but a moment in memories together.”

“Alex I’m really grateful that you are into her life because now she is really confident with herself more than ever before”

“Maybe its just her because she is the one that decide.”

He just smile and finally he ask me

“Alex could you be her friend?”

“Do I need to answer that…of course I’m her close friend”

“Thank you” he shed his tears.

We return back to the place and its already a party with butlers and maid are trying to control them. Mariam, Sylvia and Priscilla is having a brawl. What the hell happen? Amin is running away from it.

“Just get out Alex…..even Honey is scary right now!!”

“Uh..what happen?”

“They start to sing, then dance then sing then punching, then kicking….” Huh why the hell from singing to fighting?

“Honey is really pissed at Sylvia and Priscilla when they said about the size of their boobs”

Oo shit…I still remember that she hates big boobs.

“But where is my mom?”

“Priscilla father sponsors all of us a room so we could stay, hey bro you, me and Hazlan stay in one room got it!!”


“yeah, where the hell is Hazlan?”

“Don’t know? Hey I there he is!!” He is walking together with Tama

“The bastard is really smooth….”

“Darn, never knew he had in him…”

“Oh your mom brought Sam back to the hotel room but Hana is there as well fighting with them.”

We hear their loud noise.

“To hell with big boobs!!!!” -Mariam

“Yeah get away from big brother!!!! Bad girls!!!” -Hana

“Shut up!!! This is between me and this bitch!!”- Sylvia

“Don’t you know I could fight bitch!!!” -Priscilla

“Kukuku….you people need to learn manners!!!” -Mariam

And I thought boys usually fights but this is a real cat fight. I had a feeling that we could be caught in the cross fire and I wanted to run away. With Amin.

“Honey!!!!! Back me up!!!!”

“Ahh!!! Honey!!!! I’ll just stay here!!!” She drag him into the fray, oh shit I better leave

“Ahh..alright Victoria don’t stay late father need to go to bed…” oi!! Don’t just leave them aren’t you her father!!

“Alex please look after Victoria for me huaaa. I’m sleep from the travels…good night..I’ll will pay all the damages to the hotel…this belong to Victoria anyway.” I’m not her babysitter!!! 💢 eh wait, she is the owner of this resort!!? So that’s what being a rich person is just do whatever they wanted eh!!!!

I’m not going inside that restaurant better hide somewhere or escape. Yeah will do that. I saw Hazlan and called him

“Psst!!”

“Huh..?”

“You we have our own room right?”

“Yeah…”

“lets head back to the room…”

“What about Amin?”

I point the place of the brawl and Mariam is using Amin as a weapon against the two.

“Ekkk!!! That is scary!!” 

She heads out to the brawl and called them

“Hey!! Everyone!! Alex and Hazlan is going back to the hotel!!” Oh shit!! Don’t do that will ya!!!

“Huh!!!!” Everyone

“Hazlan….” Mariam

“…..run…..” Amin is dying

“Sorry!!! Hazlan!!!” I ran off as fast as I could , I could hear a scream from Hazlan

“EAYARGGGGGGHHHH!!!!” Oh shit!!! That is fucking scary!!!! I run away from them and head to the hotel as fast as I could. I head to the registration room.

“Ok here is the keys, sir have a nice night” night my foot tonight is my fright night with crazy girls.

I took the elevator and found the room.

“Found it room 910 king suite…”

I entered the room it was dark I used the key card to activate the lights, its really is a nice place. Whoa!! a massive bed for three people. I could use some luxury for once. I open the balcony and saw the incredible view in the night, the moon shine really bright with Mount Kinabalu facing it. Its really peaceful now. At least I manage to run away from that horrifying party just now. Now I’m going to have a decent bath and I wore my bath robe. I heard a loud commotion outside and its them!!! The door is un-lock!!! Someone is entering the room. That is impossible!! Unless they…

“Sit there Honey!!!” Mariam

“So this the boys room eh!!” Sylvia

“Yeah where is Alex?” Priscilla

“kukuku….” Don’t tell me…

“He is naked now…”

“Eh!!!”

“Darling….where are you?” Shit!!! I hid myself and climb down from the balcony. I hang there for a while hoping that they don’t see me.

“Babe…..” Please Allah don’t make them see me like this!!! I’m really naked now!! With only a bath robe.

“Oh well maybe he is gone somewhere..”

“Big brother must be with mom, better head there!!” She run off, and I climb up and slowly take a peek from the curtain its dark. I slowly open the sliding window and sneaky inside to take my clothes, to surprised me Amin is being tied with a rope and unconscious, Hazlan is also sleeping while his body is being tied.

“Hey..Alex…” its Tama.

I whispered to her “don’t tell me I’m here…” she is smiling and slowly tied me up.

“Hey!! What are you doing…”

“Kukuku….😈” Oh shit…they all are here😭

“darling…🥰.” Sylvia in yandere mode

“Babe..💢” Priscilla in yandere as well

“Uh…hi…”

“Why did you run away from us….”

“That is not being a gentleman….”

“ah..since you girls are still having fun maybe I could give you all some room to have fun”

“Kukuku….”

A night to remember that I was tortured over the night. Having to hang around with them all night. Please let me have a decent sleep please😭.
