Us Against The World

Chapter 15

Andi's Pov

After my impressive shot, we decided to try knife throwing. I had loved knife throwing since I could walk. I was a natural and I taught Cassie.

We walked until we came across a row of targets. We started at 50 yards away. We both had three knifes and both got dead centers each time. We moved to 75 yards and the same result happened. We jumped to 100 yards and, shocker, dead centers each time.

"Okay, you two seem to be naturals at everything. Seems we just need to try hand-to-hand combat," Nico said to us in slight awe.

We moved to an arena that had wrestling mats on the floor. Nico turned to us.

"Who's going first?" He asked. Cassie and I shared a look before she stepped forward.

"Let's do this, death breath," she taunted, putting her fists in her signature position.

"Haha, very funny, sparky," he taunted right back. Cassie made the first move like she always does when she is doing hand-to- hand combat.

At our old school, she was the captain of the girl's wrestling team. Within three minutes she had him pinned. She got up and helped him up.
"Nice match," she said, offering a hand shake. He took it.

"Nice match," he repeated. He checked his watch. I could see his silky black locks as he leaned over and... nope, not happening.
I can't risk having a relationship.

"Shit, we are going to be late for curfew," he yelled. We all looked at each other before taking of in a full sprint towards the cabins.
I ran beside Cassie and we had  overtaken the boys. We got to our separate cabins and mock saluted each other. We were about to go in when the guys showed up.
"Goodnight," we all said in sync before going into our respectable cabins. I hopped up to my living space and got ready for bed.

I put on an black and silver sports bra and black cotton shorts. I climbed under the comforter, but sleep didn't come.
All I could think about was Nico.

His black, shiny hair and midnight black eyes. He seemed really shy, but was really loud once you get to know him. I fell asleep with thoughts of him racing around in my brain.
