Chapter 100: A New leader (1/2)
Novis could see as soon as Frank had stepped through the doors, there was a smile on Scarlett's face like she had a brilliant idea.
Novis pulled Scarlett to one side and whispered in her ear.
”You can't be thinking of inviting him?”
”What choice do we have?” Scarlett replied, ”Besides he's the perfect fit right? He was captain of the Hershal team before and he's played the game for a long time. Me, you and everyone else in this room don't even add up to a year's worth of experience.”
Scarlett then quickly stood up and brushed her back as if she was fixing her self up before approaching Frank.
”Frank, are you here to join the VSW club?”
Frank looked around the room before he gave Scarlett an answer.
”Actually, I was kinda looking for Alex.”
Scarlett then explained the situation with Alex to Frank.
”Are you serious, how could that be?” Frank said.
Frank had originally come to the VSW club in hopes that Alex would be his mentor. Although Frank was the captain of the VSW team, he never felt like one. He was always told to follow a strict plan that was prepared beforehand and he was only allowed to issue simple commands now and then.
Frank having looked at Montems past games had done a bit of research and noticed how amazing Alex was. The way Montem played against Eton was completely different compared to how they played against his team Hershal.
”So we're kinda down a player at the moment and we were thinking…” Scarlett said.
”Me!” Frank pointed at himself. ”But I just joined the school, won't the other members have something against that?”
”You're looking at all the members right here,” Dan said
”Seriously.”
Frank didn't know about the situation with the VSW club since he had just joined the school. Usually, schools would be filled with members and only the very best would be able to join the team. Suddenly, Montem's ranking slowly started to make sense.
Frank felt like somebody had suddenly given him a second chance, as if it was his destiny to lead this new team.
”I'll do it!” Frank said while he posed and looked up towards the ceiling.
”What is he doing?” Novis whispered to Dan.
”Maybe we should find someone else.”
”Right!” Frank shouted, ”Let' get practising right away, we're only a week away until the game.”
Frank had naturally taken the role as a leader even though that wasn't the others intention, they only wanted Frank to fill in the missing space and Scarlett even thought she would get a chance to lead the team. But Frank was so overpowering it was hard for them to say no.
Frank stood at the front of the classroom pacing backwards and forwards while the other members were currently sat down in a row.
