OUR BOND

(4)

Noel's POV

A full week had gone by since I was shipped and I would say it's been fun.

There wasn't a day that passed I didn't annoy Angela, on other occasions it was not on purpose but majority of the time it was when she saw me with one of the family members.

But Angela didn't matter, I had two cousins I now got along well with.

Damien and Luca.

Ever since that day I lashed out on Damien he's been different. He was acting less like a military base commander and more like a cool cousin.

He kinda reminded me of Brian.

The three ninjas were still on about their behavior, not really understanding what is was for but I didn't care.

"No way! Are you cheating?" Luca asked for the hundred time since we started this game.

We were playing 'shoot your shot' outside in the backyard where there was also a pool.

Since it was hot I suggested the game and it went like this.

We shot at the archery boards using paint guns. If the other player hit bullseye the other one had to jump into the pool as punishment.

Now Luca was a great shooter and he has made me receive my punishment a few times but the problem was, I was an even better shooter.

And somebody did not like that.

He kept on saying that I was cheating because he couldn't take my winning streak well.

"Luca it's not my fault you suck at this game, stop insulting my legacy" I said amused, I actually wanted to laugh at him but I was tired of doing it.

"Now run along" I pointed to the pool and he went through with his punishment with a heavy heart.

He came back his clothes dripping with water.

Now that was the craziest part of this game, we jumped into the pool fully clothed.

I was wearing a blue shirt with oversized jean cargo pants which were super heavy at the moment because of the water.

"You're going down" he shot at the board and missed bullseye ,i laughed and mistakenly fired hitting bullseye.

"I'm done!" he raised his hands in surrender. At the moment I was on the floor because I was laughing so hard.

"Hey... You can't... Pool" I managed to say in between the laughs.

"No ways, this game is rigged" I died even more on the floor. It took some time for me to regain my composure but it happened, only for it to be ruined by seeing Luca's face.

"Why are you laughing? you cheater" he shot at me with the gun.

Obviously not about to let that go, I shot him back. So now we were at war.

The color purple vs red.

"What? Can't catch me?" he said and ran over to the porch.

I fired several shots like a maniac, even closed my eyes for the effect.

"You can stop shooting now" someone put a hand on my shoulder and I turned to look still shooting.

How the hell was Luca next to me if I was shooting at Luca.

I turned to my victim and dropped the gun at the same time my hand flew to my mouth.

"Damien, why didn't you move?" I asked trying to control my laugh.
