Aesthetic - Jaden Hossler

18.

"Alright, buddy is gonna fucking hit a target practice. Let's see what is gonna happen to my head when he goes to shoot at it."

On the opposite side of the pool stood the upper body of a mannequin with a can on its head. Jaden got ready to shoot and surprisingly hit it the first time.

Alice was blushing a bit, Jaden looked really good doing that. Kio, who stood beside her noticed and nudged her shoulder, making her look down, worsening the entire situation.

"Ah, you might be okay!"

"I might be alright."

While Josh was putting the helmet on and walking away, Quinton came over to Kio and Alice.

"Hi Alice, I'm Quinton."

"Hi, can I shorten your name?"

"Only if I can too."

"Sure, most people call me Allie."

"Welp, just call me Quin."

"How come I haven't met you before now?"

"Oh, I was visiting someone. How old are you by the way?"

"Too old for you Quinne."

"Shut up Kio. I wasn't asking because of that."

"It's okay I am twenty-one. You?"

"I'm sixteen."

Automatically Alice started to coo about him and ruffled his hair, she didn't know why she wasn't scared to meet him but she was really relaxed.

Josh now sat on the ground with the can on his head, to be honest, it looked ridiculous.

Jaden's first shot went over the can but with the second he hit it of Josh's head.

The Canadian jumped up while everybody was cheering and run over to Jaden hugging him. Jaden who stood on the rim of the hot tub, got out of balance, leaned back, and nearly stumbled but instead of trying to get back to his previous position just stepped down from the ledge.

"That was fucking dope."

"Maybe it's cuz I'm trained in professional, Uhm, I am trained in professional paintballing. So."

"And he's high."

Anthony who now stood beside the only present girl leaned down a little.

"Do you want to try?"

Alice looked at him with wide eyes. "I don't know how."

"We will help you."

"Okay, I guess. But not with Josh as the target, please."

"Okay, then it's Jaden."

"NO. No real person."

"I was kidding. We'll take the mannequin."

Kio was listening and just decided to tell everybody. "Hey, Guys. Guys! Alice will try it too."

Suddenly everybody started to do something. Josh and Jaden explained Alice how to hold the gun while Anthony and Kio were setting up the mannequin and the can. Griffin and Quinton had the cameras in their hands. With Quinton filming the side view of the target and Griffin filming Jaden and Alice.

Alice was positioned on the rim, where the boys stood as well. Without telling Alice, Josh lifted her foot, positioning them a little further from each other. Alice squealed, lost her balance, and fell in Jaden's direction, who just pushed her back.

Alice started to aim after she felt steady and ready. Jaden hunched over to get her point of view and directed her hands a little so that she would have the best shot of it. When he was happy with how it looked, he stepped back, leaving the Asian girl alone on the rim.
