'.... Oh my god, he was being serious but why are the bottom two locked, maybe it will be unlocked later down the tutorial' while Leo was pondering about this issue the conversations kept going on outside

"Well he's gonna be like that for a while so you two can go back to arguing or whatever" Jake said

"We weren't arguing Jake, we were just conversing please don't try to make this any worse than it already is" Lewis pleaded

"Hmph I already said that we would stay over here while you guys stay over there" Kylie stated

"And I alredy told you that it would be safer for everyone to stay together in case this system tries to move us again, we should at least be able to do that much until this hour is up" Lewis was beginning to get irritated with the childish behaviour of Kylie

Due to the increasing voices Kaylee was beginning to tremble, noticing this both Kylie and Lewis retracted their voices

"Now now, can't we simply be civilised and just speak calmly and quietly as opposed to raising our voices and scaring the little girl, right?" Ava asked while winking playfully to Kaylee

"R-right" Kaylee responded

"And what good will that do, this isn't practical, we shouldn't be here bickering like little kids"

The previous atmosphere which was just becoming relaxed has become tense all over again from one statement from Hayley's mouth.

Complete silence.

"Shouldn't we decide on a type of proxy leader then if we're trying to be practical, after all that will make any future decisions easier since we'll be together for the next 3 months" The silence was broken by Jake who had seemed like he wasn't paying attention in the first place.

"I agree with that" said Leo while he was re-joining with the group.

'This guy is smart, he waited until there was a tense atmosphere and suggested a quick and easy solution which no one would've agreed to at the start if we hadn't introduced each other and knew that we would've been together for three months' Leo thought while looking at Jake.

Jake was thinking along the same lines of Leo while observing him 'he was quick to jump onto my idea meaning that he was thinking about the same thing, I like it when there are quick-witted people with me, makes things easier'

"That's a great idea, I don't want to brag but I have experience in leading groups from my time in the military so I would like to nominate myself for the position but I promise to be fair in all my decisions and never favour anyone in the future" Lewis was also quick to realise the underlying meaning of suggesting this method now, albeit a bit slower than Leo.

"I got no complaints" Leo said

"Neither do I" Jake added

"Well I do, I don't trust you so I'll nominate myself for that position too" Kylie stated to the group

'Of course you would' Jake, Lewis and Leo thought in unison

"Anyone else wanna nominate themselves?" Jake asked out loud

Silence

"Okay then, since there's two people who want to become the leader that leaves five people to vote so we'll do majority rules is that good with everyone?" Jake questioned

Everyone nodded their heads

'Good, if it goes like this then I'll get the three votes from the girls and win' Kylie thought while producing a cunning smile

Leo seeing this slightly shook his head thinking 'If she becomes the leader I get the feeling that she won't really be fair to the guys, I hope the girls can see that she won't be a good leader'

"Well then if you want Lewis to be the leader then come stand to the right of me and if you want Kylie to be the leader stand on my left" Jake stated
