The Hidden Life Of An Assassin

Another Day?

"when are you going to let me win at chess", Christian said because he was losing the game badly. "well, I could let you win, but I would basically be throwing the game" replied Casper; "No, I want to win fair and square" he said glaring at Casper, "well then, you'll never win then" Casper said smirking. "ya, I know" Christian said while looking down sadly, "maybe someday, somewhere, sometime, you'll beat me badly, and I'll ask you to teach me" Casper said trying to cheer Christian up, "ya, maybe, but you'll have to not play from now on, in order for me to beat you badly" Christian said looking at Casper. the bell rang; "no, just train smarter and more often" Casper said while packing up the chess set and getting up to leave the class and on to the next, "alright, then I'll do so" Christian said happily while getting up and leaving the class on to his next. Casper finally got packed and left the class and was now heading to his next and final class of the day. "hey Casper" said roman, "sup, roman" replied casper; "how come you don't let anyone beat you at chess?" said roman while sitting down in the corner of the room with casper, "well", casper paused for a moment, "...well, there's a lot of reasons I have for that, but the main one is that I want someone to improve themselves and beat me at my own game"; roman looked at casper like if he said something confusing to him, "well, we all know that's not going to happen anytime soon" roman says while giggling, "yeah, I know, but it's worth seeing someone improve, even if its just a little. its worth seeing" casper said while sitting getting out his phone; roman stayed quite knowing he's been improving too, but not enough to beat casper. "hey, do you know this math problem" roman said pointing at the laptop screen, casper looked at his notes and couldn't find it so he said all the answers by memory, "you know you could've said the answers to begin with" roman said smiling, "well what's the point if I say the answers if you don't know how to solve them?" casper said looking at his screen and writing down the math problem; "well if I had your memory, I'd share the answers, only amongst friends though" roman said typing in the answers. "I mean, its like your a phone or something, all you have to do is see it and then you remember it" roman said, casper stays quite, "my memory works on its own though" casper said looking at the math problem, "on its own?" roman said confused and looking at casper; "when I need or want to remember something, I can't, but when someone wants something from me or even at random times where I kind of don't want to remember something, it comes to me like if it just happened, its only at certain times when I'm allowed to remember something I want or need" said casper; roman stayed quite for the next hour doing his math. the bell rings and the school day was over. "later casper" roman said to casper, going their separate ways, "later roman" casper said walking the other way from roman. casper walks the same way to his car everyday. casper gets in his car and sees a note on the passenger seat. it was a pink box with and hot pink bow. before opening it casper looked in the back seat and got off and looked in the trunk and under his car, and even look around. a nice full black car with tinted windows caught his eye, so casper looked the other way and put the car on the corner of his eye sight and tried to remember the license plate, but there wasn't any, so he looks directly at it to make them think he knows its them; the black car flashed their lights and drove away, casper walked on the street, trying to see where it went, but it drove away too fast and he saw no plates still. casper walks back to his car and picks up the box and slowly opens it; casper was confused, it had thin black paper like in a party gift and in the middle, there was a white note card; casper took the note out slowly and the thin black paper, but there was nothing else; casper looked at the note and it said "Oh no, you saw me. now lets play a game of peek-a-boo-chess. my move first, E4. I already know your next move, so, lets have fun. Let The Game Begin", casper wasn't scared because he thought it was a joke on him by his mom or dad, and the black car with no plates was a test drive for a customer or something. so he drove home thinking how is he going to play along to this game, knowing no one in the family can play as good as him; "oh well, ill play along to this silly game, but I'm not taking it easy, after all, its just chess we're playing; you already found me." casper said in the car while driving, and smirking a bit.
