Power Play (2010)
“Chapter Four ‘It’s called the Power Play,’ said Romi, beginning to sketch on the oak leaf. ‘See, usually when you’re Guarding you’re on the defensive, right? You’re having to watch the Flea, and guard it from the Stealers. Well, with the Power Play, you make the Stealers go on the defensive! The three Guards all band together like this, and –’ Twink thought angrily that she might have known Romi’s great idea would place the Guards in starring roles, since that was the position she herself played! She snatched the chalk back from her. ‘Thanks, but I don’t think we’ll be doing that.’ The team grew very quiet, watching the scene. ‘But why not?’ burst out Romi. ‘It’s a brilliant set play!’ ‘Because I’ve got other ideas in mind,’ said Twink. ‘Maybe we’ll look at yours later.’ Romi sat down again crossly. Trying to smile, Twink quickly brushed away Romi’s sketch. ‘Right, where was I?’ The meeting fell a bit flat after that. Twink described her own plans, drawing on the leaf, and although th...e team seemed interested, she couldn’t shake the feeling that they were all thinking about Romi’s Power Play.MoreLess
