"Hey, hey, what took you so long— why is Calista and Xaviar flushed red?" Malia asked. The four had arrived at the restaurant.

"Oh nothing much really, they just had their cute nicknames with each other." Kylie lowkey teased.

"Oh really? Tell me about it." Malia is eager to know.

"Tell her and I'll wipe you out of my life." Calista coldly stated. Kylie sweated.

"Sorry Malia." Kylie apologize but still smiled. Malia pouted and looked at Oliver.

"Nope, don't look at me Malia." Oliver already understood the assignment.

"Aww man, I understand. Who wants to taste her wrath after that fateful day after all." The three of them shivered. Xaviar and Charles looked at them curiously.

"You dont' wanna know." Oliver hand signed an X.

"We had already ordered the food." Charles said.

"Malia will pay for it." Calista decreed. Malia's eyes widened.

"I'll pay for it." Charles suggested. Calista shot him a look.

"No, no. It's okay." Malia said. "Don't even think of getting on her bad side. I tell you." She whispered on Charles.

"Why?" He asked.

"Calista is in her bossy era because of the tide." Charles immediately understood.

"But, are you sure that you'll pay for the meal?"

"Yes, or Calista might have made me take a trip to Paris for a croissant." She shivered remembering it.

After dinner, they decided to go home. But, Oliver and Charles was called out by Harry that they might as well stay at the bootcamp for practice sessions. Xaviar went home to his condo and the girls will have a sleep over at Malia's place.

At Malia's Place..

"Cali, do you have feelings for Xaviar?" Kylie asked. Calista looked at her.

"I don't know, that would be awkward considering that we're friends." She answered and went back on reading her book. Malia and Kylie were dumbfounded. They looked at each other and whispered.

"What should we do? She's oblivious!"

"How should I know?"

"We have to make her realize her feelings."

"She's not even aware of her feelings, let alone realize it."

"We need a plan."

"What are you two whispering about?" Calista suddenly interupts. They sweated bullets.

"Umm.. about Malia's next modelling gig! Right? Right?" Kylie elbowed Malia.

"Ah yes! I'm planning on accepting a new gig. Hehe" Malia nervously laughed.

" Is that so? Let's sleep early then. We don't want you to have an eyebags for it." Cali said and stands up to turn off the lights. Kylie and Malia sighed in relief.

"Let's talk about it later." Kylie whispered. Malia nodded and they went to bed.

'Can't sleep.' Calista thought. A notification beeped into her phone. When she read it, it was an invitation, then she just smiled.

'Alright, staying up a little late won't kill.' She then opened her game.

At the bootcamp…

"Nice! Another win for us." Liam rejoiced.

"Nice game, new mage." Daniel congratulated. It is their 6th win in ranked games this time.

"With this K/D/A you're ready to be dispatched in a practice match with other teams." Michael said.

"I'll show Xaviar that I'm a capable Jungler as he is!" Gio fires up.

"Yeah, right. Anyway, as Daniel will be the temporary captain, I expect that you will coordinate well. I'm off to schedule your practice match with the other teams." Harry announced and left for his office.

"Hear that? As your coach also, I expect there will be no problem for all of you." Michael expected.

"Don't worry Michael, we won't disappoint you." Daniel said with resolution. Liam scoffed and walks out. They looked at Daniel, but he just shrugs.

" I think your prince is having a bad mood." Michael smirked. Daniel glared at him.

"Prince? More like a baby." Daniel denied.

"Uh huh, so he is yours now?" Charles asked innocently. The room was filled with silence.

" I never said that." Daniel hissed.

"Haha alright calm down." Oliver breaks their teasing.

"Whatever. I'm off to bed." Daniel said and left. Gio also excused himself and Michael also went to his office.

"Hey Charles, let's play. " Oliver suggested. Charles agreed.

"Let's ask Xaviar if he wants to play along." Charles also suggested and called Xaviar. Luckily he is awake and agreed. The three are noe in the lobby.

"Felix is online, should we invite him?" Charles asked.

"Sure." Xaviar answered. They are currently in an open mic.

Fester joined the lobby.

"Hey, I'm with my teammate. Is it alright if he joins along?" Felix asked.

"Sure, we don't mind. As long as he is not you-know-who" Charles answered. Felix laughed.

Dikser joined the lobby.

"Ayoo!" Dikser greeted.

"Oi Dexter!" Charles greeted.

"We are now missing only one person." Felix said. Oliver looked at the online bar and saw Aura online. He smirked.

"Let me invite someone." Oliver offered. They said okay and he proceeds to invite Aura.

Auria joined the lobby.

'Who are they?' Aura thought. She saw the ign Childe. Her eyes widen.

"Oh my goodness. Xaviar is here." She squeked. She was about to open her mic but got shy, so she just listened to their conversation.

"Hey Oliver, make sure the one you've invited can rhythm our play." Xaviar coldly said. She shivered.

'I must make an impression of him!' She thought with confidence.

15 minutes later, they are in a frenzy.

"Hey guinevere! Are you noob? You can't fight with that melissa because you're level and gold is too low!" Dexter said angrily.

"Shit, I've never seen a player worse than this." Charles whined.

"It's okay we still got this." Felix calmed them.

"Yeah, right. The enemy's melissa can burn us down effortlessly." Xaviar insulted. Aura had enough and opened her mic.

"I-I'm sorry! You don't have to insult me that much because of this." She cried.

"Wha- A girl?" Dexter's voice sounded shocked.

"Kylie is much more better playing than you tho." Oliver boasted.

"Just focus on the game, okay?" Felix calmed them again.

'This Fester is nice.' She thought.

"You know, this playstyle of melissa and her support looked familiar." Oliver said suspiciously.

"Yeah, not only she can be able to outplay you, she can also outplay Xaviar." Charles scoffed.

"Well, you just fed in the first 4 minutes of the game." Oliver talked back. Charles hissed.

"Shut up, I'll try to kill Melissa and that support while you all focus on pushing." Xaviar commanded. Felix was taken aback.

'So this is Bocklist's captain command.' He thought. He was amazed of it.

'To think he can also command Felix. This is big deal.' Dexter shivers.

As Childe successfully marked Melissa. He rushed to her and let out his ulti again when Melissa activated her barrier. But, Melissa's attack speed and damage already bursted him. Luckily he had winter truncheon and activated it just in time. As their hp was on the same length, when the frozen wears off from Gusion, he hurriedly attacked Melissa but Melissa dodged it when she charged into his back and struck him.

You have been slain.

At the same time, the enemy's team pushed their base as they cannot defend it. Xaviar's hands trembled.

'Outplayed' They both thought. At the end of the game, he stared at the ign of Melissa.

'Lumine.'
