Man Tiffany just broke up with me. I don't even know why, but I really don't care. Now that I'm single I got more time to work on my rapping, and I got more time to chill with my amigos. Speaking of chilling, me and my friends are going paint balling ,and there is this really fine chica  in my class that Imma ask to join us. It's science time. Got to go.

We ain't got no school today. Increible. Plus, the girl I asked to come paint balling said yes. I'm going to pick her up then, my friends and I are going to met up at the paint ball park. I but on some camo cargo pants, a camo tank top, and a camo jacket. When I look In the mirror I think to myself, I look like I just got out of the Army. I throw on some dog tags I got from my father. He was a General in the Army. He died when I was six, and the dog tags are the only thing I have to remember him by. I put on my green boots and I walk out my room. I grab my keys and go outside. I take out my phone and enter the address Isis had given me. 118 Pine Place. Carajo. Thats where the Segadores hang out.  Segadores  is Spanish for  Reapers. The Reapers are one of the most dangerous gangs  in the neighborhood. As soon as I get in the car I grab my gun and my knife belt. I'll be ready for whatever happens. The drive was about 30 minutes. It would have been 20 minutes had I not took 10 minutes picking up snacks. I finally arrive. I get out the car and walk up to the door  and knock. Two seconds later an older woman opens up the door.           

"Is Isis here ma'am?" 

"Who are you?"  

MOM I'M LEAVING! I heard someone yell. Then Isis appears wearing jeans, and a black short sleeved t-shirt. Isis is one of the few people around here that isn't Mexican. 

"Hey Delgado" 

 "Hey Isis. You ready to go,"  

She nodded her head. I took her hand and lead her to the car. Just then a dude dressed in black and white came up to the car. Uh-oh I thought black and white are the Reapers gang colors. 

"Hey girl" He said looking at Isis.                                                                                                                                   

"What do you want Reymundo"                                                                                                                                     I drove off. 

"Who was that Isis?"                                                                                                                                    

 "It's no one. Just an annoying friend"                                                                                                                            

We drove the rest of the way in silence. About 20 minutes later we arrived at Splatter Paint Ball Park. Also did I mention that my family owns this paint ball park. When me and Isis get to the entrance I see Tiffany and some other guy I don't know. Just then my phone goes off. I got a text from my friends that were supposed to be meeting me here. The message says "Srry culdnt make it but Tiff n her bf shuld b there" So that's who that person is. I walk up to Tiffany and Isis follows. When we get to Tiffany and her boyfriend Tiffany looks at Isis with a look of disgust.          

"So who is this" Tiffany asked

"This is my girlfriend Isis"

"Oh"

"I see you got a new guy"

I nod my head towards the guys standing next to Tiffany. I heard him Grunt as his name escaped my mouth.

"Yeah"

"Well lets get playing"

We entered the park and I explained how everything worked. Tiffany and her boyfriend paid very little attention to what I was saying so they will most likely lose. After I am done talking I lead Isis through the woods towards a fort.

"Isis this game is like Capture-the-Flag"

"Ok"

I pulled two large trunks from out of a corner. Inside the trunks were realistic looking paint ball guns. I had my own trunk filled with specially customized guns that I had bought. I pulled out two guns that looked like Python Colts and stuck them in my waistband. Then I pulled out a sniper and slung it across my back.

"You ready Isis"

"Yeah"

Isis had picked out an AK-47 and some paint grenades. She also had two Dracos.

"Let's go"

I ran into the woods and when I approached the Tiffany and her boyfriend's fort I started creeping.I pulled out my sniper which lucky for ,me had a thermal scope. I spotted someone I wasn't sure if it was Tiffany or her boyfriend though. As soon as I saw the figure that I saw move to go sit out I crept farther. Soon I was in the fort and I was reaching for the flag when I felt something against the back of my head.

"Don't move"

It sounded like Tiffany's voice.

"So it was your boyfriend I shot" I said smugly

"Yup and now I'm going to shoot you"

Out the corner of my eye I saw Isis behind me.

"Are you sure about that" I asked

"Yu-"

She didn't have time to get the word out of here mouth before Isis shot her.

"Thanks"

"No problem"

We both grabbed the flag. We had won.
