"You think you're both very different but really you're exactly the same"

Briella's P.O.V.
Hanging out with Hunter was so much fun. We realized that we were into the same things and I got to know him better. We basically related on everything but I think we won't on one thing. Before I went home that day he said that we should meet at the park, he said he's going to tell me something. I think I need to tell him, I'm gonna tell him tomorrow. It's settled now, I'm ready to tell him.

   I received a tex from Hunter. It said,
"Hey, let's meet in the park at 3:00pm"
I responded with an ok. It's already 2:09, I'm gonna go get ready now. I'm gonna go shower. After showering, I wore a grey hoodie, some shorts and black converse.

    I grabbed my phone, it was already 2:45. I grabbed my keys and head out the door. I started walking to the park since it was only a two minute walk. I listened to some music, I listened to 'despacito' on the way there. The walk to the park was boring and short. When I got to the park it wasn't empty. There were a few kids playing and some moms chatting. I looked around for Hunter and I saw him sitting on a bench near a tree.

I walked towards him. Then as I came closer to him, I realized he was lost in his thoughts. So lost, that he didn't notice me.

   "Hey!" I greeted

"Hey!" I greeted. He looked up at me then smiled.

"Hey, you came!"he said. What did he mean by that.

"Of course I would! Why wouldn't I?" I said as I sat down beside him.

"Nothing, I have something to tell you. But please don't freak out." He said. I have to tell him something too.

"Me too." I said nervously. Then a thought came into my head.

"How about we say it at the same time?"I suggested. He nodded.

"Okay, one.." I said slowly

"Two"he said.

"Three!"I said.

"I'm in a gang.." We both said in unison. I was so shocked that he would avoid me once he knew.

"What?"he said

"I could say the same to you."I said

"You're..... since.."he said but I cut him off.

"Okay let's do this one at a time. And slowly." I said. He nodded.

"Me first" I said.

"Since when were you in a gang"I asked.

"Ever since I was sixteen."he replied.

"Is this the job you were talking about yesterday?"I asked and he nodded a yes.

"How old are you now?" I asked

"I'm twenty-one"he said

"What gang do you work for?" I asked curiously. He laughed.

"I don't work for anyone Bri, they work for me."he said.

"That means you're the leader of the gang and wait did you just call me Bri?"

"Yes I did, I can change it if you like."
He suggested.

"No, it's fine" I replied.

"My turn." He said. I nodded.

"Since when were you in a gang?"he asked. He's just gonna ask me all the questions I asked.

"I'm just gonna answer all the questions I asked"I said and he nodded.

"I've been in a gang since I was seventeen. This was the job I was talking about. I'm twenty years old now and I don't work for anyone." I said

"That means you're also the leader of your gang."he said. I nodded.

"By the way gang do you lead anyway?" I asked curiously.

"I lead the Assassin Brotherhood."

"I lead the Red Devils." I said

"That means you're the leader of the gang that blew up hideout of 'The Diablos',the most successful gang in the country." He said with amusement in his words.

"Yeah, that gang deserved it. They killed ten guards of mine."I said crossing my arms over my chest. He laughed.

"I should tell my gang to not mess with you"he said. I laughed.

"Wow! The Assassin Brotherhood's leader is a geek." I said while pointing to his clothing. He placed a hand on his chest to pretend to be hurt.

"Ouch, I think you hurt my ego Bri." He said. I scoffed.

"Well then again, I could say the same to you. The Red Devils' leader is a geek." He mocked. Then there was a moment of silence that was cut off by Hunter.

"Wait are you really a geek? because I'm most certainly not."he said.

"Of course not! Since when have you heard of a gang wherein the members are hot and the leader's a geek" I said

"Oh, makes sense." He said and I just giggled.

"Then if you're not one. Why are you dressed like that? Is it just part of your fashion sense?" I asked mocking him and his 'fashion sense'.

"Ouch you hurt my ego again!" He whined placing a hand on his chest.

"I'm dressed like this for a reason you know. It's because when I go out I often get followed and sometimes when I go out with a friend or somebody, I get threatened to be killed and the person I'm with dies in front of me. You see my gang members go out and kill anybody for fun. I stop and punish them for it but they keep doing it. And I always pay for their mistake. This time they killed eight members of my rival gang and now they've set a course to go after me. They already have hold on half of my gang and they're using them to find me. Now, I'm hiding and recruiting new members." He said.

   "How about you?" He asked curiously.

   "Me and my gang are hiding right now. We're spreaded in different countries. Apparently we're too wanted to stay in our hideout. Our rival gangs decided to get revenge and tell the police our whereabouts. The told them because my gang stole a gun that has been passed onto several gang leaders. It's basically tradition to them. The gun we stole is the gun I take possession now. My gang is just building up power and plans to get back at them. The members of my gang are just waiting for my signal." I said.
