Call it a Talent

C H A P T E R 6

Fresh breath of week two.

I was kinda of getting used to this new norm here. Work up, exercise, morning stuff, a camp activity or something similar. It wasn't that hard. Till the day, my cabin was up for the 3 mile jog around the camp. Yeah, Everest.

"Olive, were they trying to kill us?"

"It was just a 3 mile which also killed me but we are still breathing."

" JUST?" Kira frowned. "Who are you Thea? Some kind of professional athlete?" Now she was panting like a dog. Gosh, she was so vulnerable!

"No, I have experienced running sessions with Theo. He is so competitive." I took a bottle of water to hydrate. I also felt like dying. The jog was through the rough stumps along the way.

"I like him already."

"You don't even know him sweetie," I gave her a sincerely smile, trying to make my bed.

"No comment on her." Anna woke up from her bed. We both looked at her and the eyes killer was giving could swallow her alive.

"You little..." Kira was acting as if or she will strangle someone or kill her. I couldn't blame her because those miles were killing me the inside of me.

"Cute, genius, amazing, talented girl who knows how to skip a physical exercise without anyone noticing," she let out a yawn. "Thanks for noticing that in me."

"She's good," I whispered loudly in Kira's ear.

"I know right. She should also teach me." Kira whispered and her whisper felt like she had an evil genius plan for that.

"I can hear you guys," Anna also whispered.

"Why did we start to whisper?" Olive also whispered. She had been silent because she had threw herself on the bed and to relax after running.

"I don't know."

"Thea started it."

"Okay fine Anna. Let's stop this." My voice came out lower as my normal voice.

"Stop," Kira whispered too

"OK this isn't gonna end soon," Anne whispered. We all agreed and went different directions.

"Alright, alright. People let us be in our cabin teams."

One of the head counsellors probably early 20s announced. It was around 10am and we were about to have a paint ball fight. It was a tradition for the first Monday having it. A team consisted of cabin members and I was sure it would always be like that. Every camper had a white cabin shirt with the name of their cabin in the front. I wore some grey shorts with some sneakers.

"One cabin is missing, Kilimanjaro cabin." He announced again.

"Is your brother and his friends-"

"We here"

Jimmy cut Kira saving me already from her questions. I only saw him with Zach who was just simply playing with his sweatbands and fixing his hair and Theo was fixing his shirt while clearly pretending that he didn't mind of the attention. I knew deep down he was enjoying it.

"I thought you were suppose to be more than four?"

"Ray come join us, it is time by the way," Jimmy said, pulling Ray by his shirt who was busy talking to some girls who were beside them. He was caught in the middle of signing the 'signature of Ray'. He always walked with a small pen somewhere in her pocket for giving out his number and the 'signature'. I don't understand this Arabic boy of ours.

He apologized and the counselor just nodded and went the other side. I tried my best to cover myself with my hand but he still spotted me with Kira. Why Kira? He whispered something to the guys before he jogged to where my cabin was standing. Giving me a small nod, I smiled.

"Nice to meet you Kira," he winked, giving out one of his best smirks. He pulled my ponytail before he jogged back to his friends. I really need to continue putting my hair in a messy bun. I looked at him who shrugged and Jimmy gave me a flying kiss which I returned as well. Zach waved at me as well. I realised this was where they were attracting attention.

"Nice game little sis." Theo made it even worse. Few people were looking interested what was happening here. I avoided them and paid attention to Kira who was just grinning. Weird.

"Kira," I called her. "Kira please get out of there. I heard you are a master in paint ball."

She then screamed like a fan girl, jumping up and down. What? No. "Did you see what just happened. In my head, this is just repeating. Perfect scene for my movie. He fine."

I wouldn't say no because he was yah. He took it from his older cousins who are hot. I nodded.

"Am still taking a chance with him, was that your brother because he is slightly lighter than you." She was right. Theo was much lighter than me but it was a small difference.

"No that was Ray," I said. Ray had tanned himself at the start of the summer.

"Mrs. Ray," she sigh, feeling her forehead.

"What did you say?"

"Nice to meet him."

She really think I was deaf. I clearly heard her sigh for Ray. The Ray I knew. I was up for this free movie.

So the game had started and our cabin was doing pretty well. It was fun. My mind was free. No bad memories. Oh no what have I done again. I just remained silent and just wished mom a good life.

I now felt weak. Oh great. I started looking around and most people were out of the game. Then, I saw D-man was also looking around.

Yah baby am gonna kill him. Where should I shoot. The stomach no I will feel bad. His face, nah I can't be the one to destroy it. OK perfect found it.

I shot him. On his heart. Yes! I was a professional at this maybe I needed to go into the agency. He looked at me, his left ear shinning with a small metal, I was so stupid to wave back. He then plastered a cool smile on his face. I was busy looking at him and I never realised that he had shot me on my stomach. Ouch.

"We are now equal," he said.

"Cheater!" He was cheating.

"What happened with you calling me D-man?" he chuckled.

"Well ...Oh my," I had realised something.

"What?"

"You are trying to change a topic"

"I know," he stated it obviously.

"Jerk."

"You can give me any name, Parker" He folded his arms and he gave a victorious smile. Oh My he has perfect teeth. Really Thea.

I already felt losing.
