Setting My Sister's Dates

Chapter 14

Dashing along the busy crowd here in the circus, I and Zach went together inside. It is eventide already and the night is starting to show up.

The place is so big. There are stalls lined at the left side. Near us is the stall for shooting ducks. Ducks of small heights are lined horizontally in the shelf. Two people are shooting them but no one has ever shot even one.

At the center is the Ferris wheel and everyone in there is shouting. They seem so enjoying being rolled over. I easily get dizzy and I vomit easily too. I can't take riding things like that. Behind it are the colored bumpers. They are small cars that even people at my age are riding there, shouting, clamoring, and just having fun.

On the right side are food stalls where pop corns, cotton candy, boiled eggs, and other foods are being displayed.

I am very amazed with what I am seeing. To be honest, I haven't been here since Laureen is not allowed in here. Charles did not even bring me in places like this. I can't believe that it's me who brought a guy in here.

"Come on, wanna shoot some ducks?" I asked Zach with enthusiasm.

Scratching his head for a while, he nods. "Okay, let's get it on."

We went to the shooting stall. "How much do we pay for this?" Zach asked the lady. As if, he has the money to pay.

"It's 20 pesos sir every gun. And the moment you shoot one duck, you can get anything from here," the lady points the bunch of small stuff toys beside her. They look so adorable but the pigs pique my interest.

"The pig is cute," I say.

"Looks like you," he mocks. I huffed and rolled my eyes on him. "What are you doing? Pay for two guns." He commands. What a shameless guy he is!

I got 40 pesos from my wallet and payed the lady. "Here, two guns please." The lady handed two and we both positioned ourselves to shoot those small ducks down.

We gazed at each other seriously. "You ready?" I ask. He nods. "Let's get it on."

"Wait! There has to be a deal." He interrupts.

"What?" I asked him.

"If you can shoot even once, I will be your errand boy. But if you can't," he pauses. It only makes me more curious about it, "you should kiss me."

"What? Are you insane? Why would I do that? No way!" I oppose.

"Why? Don't you believe in yourself? Ahh seems like you can't really shoot even one duck there."

"Who says... Okay fine. I am confident. I'll kiss you if I lose but if I can shoot, you will really be my errand boy." I challenged.

We started shooting them and I still got no ducks shot up until this moment. While on the other side, he has shot 3 ducks. Unfortunately, I now only got 2 bullets and I have to shoot at least one. Or else, this will only look shameful.

He finished shooting having 3 ducks down. Oh god, I should at least hit once. I don't want to kiss him. He is doing well. While me, "I can do this." Still, I wasted every pellet that I have had and now, I got nothing shot. "This isn't fair. I think there's something wrong with your gun."

Zach laughed at me. "You kidding us? It's you who is not a good shooter. Stop blaming the gun for not having ducks shot with your pellets HAHAHA."

"How can I even shoot those?" I pointed the lined ducks. "They are like 2 meters away from me and the pellets are as tiny as a nasal mucus."
