The Auction and The Aftermath (Part 1)
Part One: Auction Mix Up
JP with Redsword and Jaxx
Thursday evening
Conner was watching his phone like the other guys. The girl's plan seems to be working. Rose really knew what she was doing, he thought. Heath was the first to speak up, he said that the bids were starting to come in.
JD smiled, "I think Rose got a win." JD knew no one could outbid her and no other names popped up. JD let out a sigh of relief. "Forty thousand! She really does have too much money" commented JD.
Conner looked over to JD, "And she spent it all on you. Must be nice."
JD looked at all the guys, "Honestly, I wish she did not have to. But it does feel good to know she did."JD said with a smile.
Conner was surprised to see Blossom pop up first; she was quick with her bid. Then Alex Russo popped up. Who is this? He had heard of the name and had an idea who she was. Then Kaylee and Courtney.
The other guys were happy as their screen showed the winners.
Conner looked down and something did not seem right. The app was listing four numbers. Conner looked up, "Hey guys, are you listing more than one number winning?" he asked
JD looks at Conner "No, I just one," he replied
Conner looked over to Zander, “Do you know if I should be showing 4 winners instead of one?” Conner asked him.
Zander looked at Conner after noticing he got Kaylee. "No, that shouldn't be happening. Can I see your phone?"
"Sure here," Conner hands his phone to Zander.
Zander looked at Conner's phone and saw the names that popped up with the bids. He then asked, "Kyle, who got you?"
Kyle responded with, "Blossom."
Zander handed Conner back his phone. "My guess is you were put in the system more than once due to a glitch in the system. Probably assigned different numbers. So, maybe the girls got different numbers for you and bid on those numbers. I think you need to tell a teacher what happened so someone can fix it.”
Mr. Robyns happened to be nearby Conner and Zander as he overheard them talking about a technical problem. Mr. Robyns, the computer science teacher, approached the boys.
Mr. Robyns: Hey guys, I could not help but notice you have a confused expression on your face. So either you got hooked up with the girl of your nightmares or you are experiencing something more complicated.
Mr. Robyns smiled as he waited for a response.
Conner looked at Mr. Robyns. "I think there is a problem. I have four girls that won on my app. Are there ties on this app?" He held the phone up for Mr. Robyns to see, "Or am I just lucky?" asked Conner.
Mr. Robyns looked at Conner's phone and used his finger to scroll the screen up and down to verify what Conner said.
Mr. Robyns: Oh wow. Someone sure is popular?
Mr. Robyns gave Conner a snarky smirk. Then he went back into teacher mode.
Mr. Robyns: Well by the looks of it either you have three identical brothers running around the school or (dramatic pause as he looked at Conner) your name was entered into the database four times when you registered at this school.
Mr. Robyns looked like he was doing math in his head then he looked like he was either on the verge of a solution or he was suffering from the bean burritos he had for lunch. Then he snapped out of it and replied.
Mr. Robyns: Ahhh well the solution is simple my dear young man. You simply need to head to the Attendance Office and explain the solution to get the extra versions of yourself removed. However, the dilemma involving the four young ladies who bid on you well........ I believe that is a problem we should have the Head Mistress deal with. So, if you would be so kind as to have the four girls in question head to the Head Mistress's office ASAP, I will text her of our arrival.
Mr. Robyns then got on his phone and began texting quite fast for a teacher as he conversed with the Head Mistress who was now making time to resolve the issue.
Conner looks up at the ceiling, "Normally I would not say this but, why me?" Then he chuckled. "I guess a foursome could be fun," he says, standing with a grin. He looked at everyone there "Wish me luck I will need it," he said walking out to the Headmistress’s office.
