"And now I'll do what's best for me"
-Jane Will
Hunter's P.O.V.
   Well that's a surprise. I was totally not expecting Bri to be in a gang while at the same time leading it. As she was speaking, a load of questions flooded my mind. I have a lot to ask.

"So.... Uhh... Do.... Why...." I said frustratedly. Uhh, why am I so nervous right now! I mean I already got to tell Bri that I'm in a gang. Why am I like this!

"Don't worry Hunter, I know there's a lot in your mind right now and I do too. So let's just take this slow because this is a lot to take in." She said calmly while placing her hand on my shoulder.
I swear I felt something at that moment but I don't want to know what.

"Ok, so what now?" I said trying to calm myself down. She laughed. I stare at her. Why is she laughing?

"Why are you laughing?" I asked confusedly.

"Nothing." She said but I'm sure she's lying. We both just stare at each other in silence. Until she broke the silence.

"So back to your question, what do you suggest we do?" She asked.

"Umm, is hiding your real identity important to you? Because to me it is."
I replied.

"Very important." She said nervously.

"Ok, so I suggest we help each other. You know, I continue hiding our identities and you do the same." I said

"I agree." She said. Then after that it was just awkward, pure awkward silence.

"So... What now?" She said. I grinned.

"Oooh she's being copying me now." I said.

"In your dreams freak!" She said and she then bursted into fits of laughter.

"I think you hurt my ego again Bri and it's already the third time you've done it." I said placing a hand on my chest for effect.

"It's not my fault that you have such a big ego too big for your body." She said while crossing her arms. I love that she expresses her true self now. Plus I love annoying her, but in a good way of course.

"A sexy body you're pertaining to."I said while shaking my body sexily for effect. She laughed.

   "So do you wanna hang out for a while?" I asked.

   "Sure it's still pretty early. What do you wanna do?" She replied.

   "Do you wanna watch a movie and eat?" I asked then she became all excited, she's cute when she gets excited. Shit, what's happening to me.

   "Hell yeah! But I get to pick the movie!" She said as she started dragging me out the park. I groan, uhh she's just gonna pick some sort of romance and be all emotional.

   "Uhh, fine but we should watch the movie at the mall. I need to buy more geeky clothes, Jay stole my clothes." I replied.

   "Ok let's take your car!"she said.

   "Fine.." I said. We walked to my house for about five minutes. When we arrived she ran straight to the driveway. I opened the car door to the passenger for her and she jumped in.
I got into the driver's seat and started the car. (Pic of Hunter's car)

    "Um, can you play some music?" I asked

    "Um, can you play some music?" I asked. I can sense her grinning from the corner of my eye. Damn, this girl has great taste in music. After what seems like a minute, we arrived at the mall. Luckily, there's not a lot of cars which means less cars=less people. I parked my car near the elevator. I got out of the car and I quickly scooted over to the other side of the car to open the door for Bri. But she cut me to it, she already got out.

"I was supposed to do that!" I said. She laughed.

"Well I beat you to it." She said mockingly. We walked to the elevator and got in.

"So what movie are we going to watch? Don't choose some stupid romantic shit and go all emotional, because I hate it." I said. She just giggled.

"Well we're watching 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith'. Plus you don't give a fuck about what I choose." She said. I was shocked, I think that's the first time I have ever heard her swear. I like it. We both laughed as we got out of the elevator.

"It's funny that we were all nice and angelic when we didn't know each other's secrets. And now that we shared our secrets, we swear like crazy even in normal days." She said and we laughed.

"True, so where do we go first?" I said

"How about, movie first then we go shopping and eat." She replied.

"Sure." I said

"Let's go buy some tickets!"she said while tugging at my arm. After waiting in a short line, we got our tickets. Then she insisted on getting popcorn before the movie. We got into the movie theatre and it wasn't really crowded, just some couples sitting together. We sat at the back and the movie was starting.

"What's the movie again?" I ask.

"Mr. and Mrs. Smith" she said. The movie sounds so cliche.
----------------------------------------------
"That was a really good movie! I thought it would be some sort of dramatic movie that has a hint of cliche in it." I said.

"Glad you like it, that's my favorite movie." She said.

"So time to go shopping, do you need to get anything?" I asked and she nodded.

"So I bet we're going in separate ways so let's meet here when we're done." She said. I headed over to some stores. Uhh I hate wearing geeky clothes and here I am trying to buy some. Once my hiding is over I can burn all of these stupid clothes. I think I'm going to buy some clothes that are more my style you know. I got some denim shorts and bat man hoodie for my stupid disguise. And some white v-neck shirts, black jeans, black t-shirts and a black leather jacket for the real me. I'm done now. I think I should look for Bri. Where could she be? Forever 21, Urban outfitters and Victoria's Secret.
I see Bri going through the clothing racks, she's already holding some paper bags with clothes. Our eyes meet and I wave at her.

   "Hey, you're already done?" She asked.

   "Yup, how 'bout you?" I replied.

   "I'm almost done, I just need to pay." She said.

   "Okay, let me help you with your bags since I only have two." I said taking the bags out of her hands.

   "Thanks!" She exclaimed. She paid for her clothes and we decided on where to eat.

  "What did you buy?" I asked.

   "I got some hoodies and leggings for my disguise. And I got some black tank tops, white v-neck shirts, black jeans and a cute black leather jacket. I also got some white sneakers for the real me ." She answered. We went to go eat at 6:00pm.
---------------------------------------------
   "Thanks Hunter." She said.

   "For what?" I asked

   "For being my friend, hanging out with me and trusting me enough to share your secrets with me." She said.

   "No worries. I actually wanted to thank you too, for being good company." I said as we got into my car.

   "You know I realized, why are we so calm about each other being in a gang?" She asked.

   "Maybe it's because we're in the same situation. Hiding and being in a gang." I said.

   "Well I'm glad we're in the same situation."she said. Then it was pure silence all throughout the car ride.

   "Well, thanks for everything but I got to go now. Bye Hunter."she said

   "Bye Bri." I replied as we walked in separate directions.
