Chapter 12 - Sharpshooter

"Shar?.."

"Jairus?!...What... I mean you are?"

I can't believe that it would be Jairus. All these times I thought he's an enemy and now he's my apprentice...my ally.

"You guys know each other?", Prof Brian asked.

Both of us nodded.

"Well that's great. I have to go back to Kath and Daniel."

Jairus and I talked and did some catch up. I told him what I thought about him before.

"So you think that I'm a villain?", Jairus laughed.

"Hey don't laugh!", I said as I tapped his shoulder.

"So what's the real story about you and Nash?", he asked.

"First of all, I didn't dump him. I found out that someone removed the breaks of his car and I thought that somehow its a sign for me to stay away from him."

"So, you love him?"

"No, its not like that but I care about him."

Kath went inside the room and she was surprised to see Jairus too.

"Jairus?", Kath asked in surprise.

"Yeah! you know what we really had the same exact reaction", I said.

Kath made fun about how suspicious I was about Jairus. We all laughed so hard about it.

Somehow that moment made me forget about Nash.

We all started to work. Trained ourselves so hard for the upcoming huge battle.

Professor Brian decided for me to go back to shooting with Jairus.

I could really tell that he's so good. His title fits him.

Due to the situation that we are currently in, Professor Brian leased the house in front of us where Jairus will stay.

Most of the time, he would just let us live in one house like what Daniel did. But because of our situation, Jairus and I being classmates, it would not be such a good idea to do that.

The day is starting to end, Jairus offered to drive me home. Daniel and Kath would be on our car and I will be on Jairus' car. I didn't say no, surprisingly. Probably it is because that I've never been in a situation that I know someone doing what we do apart from Kath and Daniel on the same school.

Now that Jairus lives just across the street, will it be a good thing or a bad thing for me?
