Who am I?

Chapter 5

I woke up to pain all over my body today. I looked over, seem likes both of them are feeling the same thing. I tried to get up, I sat on the for almost 10minutes.

"Morning, my body feels very sore, I don't know if I can keep up with this." I said.

"I know, Today we are learning to use guns. My arm are so sore, I don't know if I could even lift the gun." Said Amber.

"All of us are sore from yesterday, let us go get ready." Said Andrew.

Amber and I nodded. The both of us walked to the shower as always. She looks really tired. When I got to the shower, I washed my face to wake myself up. In my reflection, the eye that Emma punched me got darker but I hope I'll heal before the next fight.

When we got done, we walked toward the gun field. We were the first few people there, The first people I stopped was Zack. He was standing the other way reloading all of the guns.

He turned around, He eyes laid on mine. I don't know what's wrong with me but I felt butterflies in my stomach.

'What's wrong with me?' Said a voice in my head.

His eyes then lift away from mine.

"Alright everyone, today will be the second day of our training. We'll be learning to shoot, aim and reload the gun." He said.

His voice is deep, He talked over everyone else. I then saw Emma, she looks a lot better. I might go and talk to her later. I don't want to seem mean.

We all took turn to see how is our shooting before we start to train. I was the first this time, I'm scared. I walked toward the table and picked up the gun. It's heavy, my arm are still sore from yesterday.

"You can do this, good luck." He said.

I felt more confident now, I lift the gun in my right hand in shooting position. I then pull it to my left hand for support. I felt sweat pouring all over me, my back is wet and so as the back of my neck.

'I'll be fine, you are not shooting a real. It's just a target, don't worry too much. Remember what he said? He said good luck, I should not fail him, I shouldn't fail him.' The voice in my head speaks.

I aimed at the target, I will not be surprised if I completely miss the target since it is my first time. I took a deep breath and attempt to try to shoot again. The pressure from everyone watching me, the fact that I'm shooting first and the fact that he is less than a meter away from me. It's all too much to handle.

I aimed and fixed my hand position, I closed my eyes and pulled the trigger. The sound from the gun fire scared me, I opened my eye to see what point did I got. If I even hit the target.

At first I thought I didn't hit it but when I tried to focus my eye more, I didn't hit the middle spot but it was close enough. I smiled at myself. I looked at him but he was looking at the target, smiling. He then turn towards me.

"Good job, not too bad for a first try." He said.

That makes me feel very happy inside. I walked over to join the Amber and Andrew.

"I was surprised that you could fight yesterday but now I'm even more surprised you can shoot like that. What else can you do that you hadn't tell me yet?" I yelled in excitement.

I laughed then gave her a big smile.

"It is my first time, I don't know how did I got so good at it." I said smiling.

"Maybe you could try to teach us sometime." Said Andrew.

I smiled at him. I turned around to see whom next, Emma. She did not hesitated much like I did, It took her seconds to pull the trigger. Her aiming is pretty good, she shot right in the middle. This is not her first time.

She smirked after seeing herself hits the middle. It must be a normal thin for her. After she walked back I walked to her.

"Hey, nice aiming. How's your nose, is it getting any better yet?" I said trying not to sound sarcastic.

"If you are only here to make fun of me losing to you yesterday, you better back off before you hurt yourself." She said smirking.

"I meant what I said, I really hope you get better." I said.

She didn't say anything. I walked back to Amber, she looked at me.

"What?" I said.

"I know you were trying not to sound sarcastic. I know her, she doesn't likes to get beaten. She is one of the best aiming I know. Even if she is one of the smallest here, she is pretty strong for her size." Said Amber.

I nodded and continued to watch others. Some of them completely missed the target. The sound of the gun firing scared me but now I'm used to it.

After a couple more people, I began to realized that I was the only person he said good luck to beside Amber, she's his sister, I'm not too shocked. I felt special, I laughed at myself.

When everyone was done, we learned to aim. Zack walked towards me.

"Your aim was pretty good but I don't know if that was luck or not. I'll show you how." He said.

He stands behind me, I can feel his breath. He puts his hand over my shoulder, I tried as hard as possible to focus. He then fired, the bullet goes right through the middle. He didn't released me yet.

"See, that's how it's done." He said.

I nodded, he then releases me and walked over to others. He did the same thing with one of the girl, I felt jealous, what is wrong with me? Why am I jealous? He's not even mine! I shook my head and focus.

When we walked back. I was expecting him to be there again but he wasn't. Why was I expecting him to be there anyway? We aren't anything at all. When I walked inside, Amber began to talk.

"I think someone is falling for my brother." She said smiling.

I ignored her but she continued.

"You looked a bit sad Laurin, is it because he wasn't there to congratulate you?" She said.

I laughed it off.

"Oh come on, stop it." I said.

"Looks like someone is gonna blush, remember how he stands behind you? You felt his breath right? Did you got butterflies?" She said.

"I'm going to ignore you, I'm sleeping. How about you and Andrew?" I said laughing not to sound harsh.

"Changing the topic, alright I'll sleep. Good night, sweet dreams, I hope you dream about zzzaaaaccckkkk......" She said.

I turned the other way so she won't see me blushing and laughing at myself.
