"So how do you use this?" I asked reaching for the gun trying to feign innocence. 

Felix and Harleam, who I was going to call dream because every time I heard his name all I thought was "Do the Harleam Shake," were in front of me trying to 'teach' me how to use a gun, and they were doing a terrible job.

I reached out for it and Felix pulled the gun back "It's heavy," he said.

I stopped the urge to roll my eyes, oh really?

I looked over to where Eden was helping Nik, they seemed to be having more fun, when can I start shooting? Apparently there was a legend and it was said Eden was one amazing shooter, a "pro," but let's see about that.  

"Just give it to me me," I said lunging for the gun sick of their games as Felix kept pulling it back thinking it was funny. It wasn't funny, in fact I might just shot his hand to show him it was't funny, but of course Alex would probably shoot me in the heart if I did that. 

I grabbed it easily holding the gun in my hand, seriously judging the type. To begin with it was a handgun, when really using a rifle would have been easier for these kids, and secondly it wasn't any handgun, it was a pistol, a fairly big one compared to my little beauty.

Rotating it in my hand I could tell you where it was made, and looking at the bullet I can tell you what shop they made it at.

"Okay so what you do is spread your legs,"

I looked up as Felix started talking again and stepped out widening my stance. Really un-necessary, but a beginners guide for support as shooting a gun, was a powerful thing.

Dream on the other hand decided to laugh making Felix turn a lovely red colour.

"I didn't mean it like that!"

"Mean what?" I asked confused at what they both were talking about. Felix grew even redder and shook his head muttering 'nothing' under his breathe.

"Okay so- yea raise your hands like that. Good. And place your hand under- okay well done you're catching on fast,"

I didn't even need my left hand acting as a support, but I decided I will humor them anyways, I was meant to be a good girl. 

"Okay so see that can in the distance,"

I nodded, an empty coke can sitting on the haystack in the distance, or I hoped it was empty or that was waste of a good soda. Especially since the sun was beating down and I felt a bit too warm in my jumper. 

"It's about fifty meters away, now I doubt you can shoot it," he scratched the back of his head, if only he knew.

Fifty meters was nothing for me. But if I shot it right in the middle, and I would not miss, it would give it all away, I was Nik's cousin or whatever, I was a daughter that was brought up with perfect etiquette, I scoffed at that, me with manners,  yea right.

"Now press the trigger, you will feel a lot of power, and you fight fall backwards so I'll just stand here beh-,"

I narrowed my eyes as Felix tried getting behind me, "I think I'll be fine," 

Dream laughed muttering 'rejected' under his breathe.

I stepped aside and shot a bullet quickly, making sure it hit the hay so there wasn't a stray bullet laying around, as much as my hand urged me to shoot it perfectly in the middle, maybe I can even shoot it at the top so the can wasn't damaged and then I could drink the soda inside. 

"Told you, don't worry it takes time," said Felix proudly.

 "Come on, let's go to the others" he reached for the gun and I twirled it around and handed it to him so the handle was facing him.

"How did you-" I smiled shaking my head and walking to Eden and Nik, Eden with an amused look on his face.

Did the guy think I can't shoot? Game on. I could take him on blindfolded any day and it would be more fun placing an apple on his head, then I might 'accidentally' miss.

"So who are we versing?" I asked as I saw more students around, we had the university shirt on, red and gold and I shrugged my jumper off feeling too warm tying it around my waist. 

"Six groups, we came second last year," said Nik with a frown.

Not while I'm here, I hated losing and I had to take my anger out, what better than with a gun with permission to waste as many bullets as I can.

The games began, and to be honest it was more than boring to watch, I tried to stay far away from Nik, the urge to take the gun and shoot myself was too much. He hit the target more than a few times, but barely.

People kept missing the can, the distance was getting further and further but there wasn't a point. If they missed a fifty metre distance then obviously they'll miss it at a hundred meters.

"Just shoot," I muttered under my breathe as Nik took too long to press the trigger, my fingers twitching.

We had split up into pairs, as his security, or cousin undercover I was with him while Dream and Eden paired of and Felix ran to some girl who was also from our uni, the look on his face when he saw her was pure hilarious. It was like he had never seen a girl before.

"Here," I stood up walking to him, I couldn't help it anymore. 

"Let me do it," I looked around everyone was doing their own thing, celebrating or whining that they missed, I had to do it fast.

I raised it up on my right hand, pulled the trigger and shoved the gun back in his hands taking a step back.

"Isandra! you will mi-oh shit," Nik's jaw dropped and I scoffed going back to my chair. I don't miss. I never miss. It took a full three minutes for everyone to realize he hit it and start cheering, girls holding up pom-poms pretending to be cheer-leaders, oh honey, no.

"Congratulations, these teams are through to the finals" the announcer started reading out names and I smiled hearing our team. Excellent. And of course Eden and Dream were also through. Damn it.

"You're good I mean I know you're good you have to be good but not that good," Nik rambled on flustered and I smiled getting up and patting his cheek.

"Don't worry the cup is ours," when I wanted something, I got it.

He scoffed, "I don't think I can get the next target, it's on a tree, it's-"

"Of course you wont," I said taking the gun from him testing it in my hand. It was a bit bigger than my personal beauty tucked into the back of my pants, I could feel the cold metal against my back, this was what true love was, always having your back. I mentally laughed at my own joke.

"I will," I pulled the safety off giving it back to him.

"I won't get it,"

I lifted my jumper up taking my silver baby out, small sleek and it never missed, my most beautiful possession, the one thing I would lay my life down for, apart from my client of course.

"I will shoot it from over there," I nodded back behind the tent, that just added an extra ten meters, "You will just pretend you shot it,"

He looked confused scratching his head.

With the finals there will be people around him, from the other side, the wouldn't see me.

"Are you sure,"

I nodded, "oh wait," I took his gun back taking out a bullet, and rolling it so the empty cannon was to be fired. Attention to detail was a must, couldn't take any chances.

"Don't change anything just pull the trigger when you hear the shot, our noises should mix and a missing bullet in case they check the barrels," he nodded holding the gun safely.

A bit too safely and I tried not to roll my eyes. Live a little.

"Contestants take place," I patted his back hearing this and he took a deep breathe walking to the podium and I rolled my eyes giving him a harder push, "Just fire," 

He walked over to the podium, and I waited as people started lining up five metres behind him, behind the safety line everyone watching with eager. I even saw money being passed around, I guess the bets were on. 

I turned around walking to the tent when Felix called my name.

"Where are you going?"

"To pee," I yelled over my shoulder and continued walking, did he want to come hold my hand?

I looked over my shoulder to make sure no one was looking, I turned to stand behind the tent, I looked at the tent, it had four structures holding it up. Placing my gun between my teeth I hoisted myself up, gripping the strong beams I could feel underneath.

I swear if this collapsed I was screwed. The sun didn't help either making the cloth stick and warm, uncomfortable. 

"Get ready,"

I looked up, I could see the can in the tree, Jesus they expected uni kids to shoot that far?

"And fire when you feel ready,"

I took my gun out of my mouth, I was born ready.

I heard a row of shots being fired and saw Nik flinch, that scaredy cat and looked at the can, he better not be closing his eyes. I heard his gun go off too early, that boy.

Closing one eyes I smirked and pulled the trigger. Too easy.

I let myself slide down the tent, hiding my gun and dusting my jeans. That felt like a slide. 

I subtlety squished back into the crown who were patiently waiting for judges to go an check which can fell and if they shot it or not.

"We have a winner!"

"Nikolevich from-"

My job here was done. There were screams even before the announcer finished and Nik was still in shock, oh boy, don't faint.

"I lost fifty bucks damn,"

I raised an eyebrow at Felix, "You placed a bet against your friend?"

He smiled cheekily blushing, "Well, his nerves always get the best of him, I really thought he would miss but damn, straight in the middle,"

I was shocked, "Buy loyalty," I said more to myself.

"Oh it's nothing, what he won't know won't hurt him," Felix shrugged and then grabbed my arm dragging me to the others. I frowned, they don't need to know, but placing a bet against your mate, it felt wrong. I would place a million on a friend even when I knew they would lose, because I had their back.

I shrugged it off, why was this bothering me so much.

"Congratulations," I said winking at Nik who was holding the silver trophy and certificate, I leaned over, "I get the prize money," I joked as we started walking back to the jeep. Felix pulled a packet os smarties out of his pocket, it seemed the kid could do no where without them and shoved a handful into his mouth, a few dropping and a few staining the colour to his hands from the warmth.

I heard a voice be cleared next to me and looked to my left side seeing Eden walk slowly, "What?" I asked as he raised an eyebrow. He gripped my arm pulling me to a stop, the others in their own world to realize.

"I know what you did,"

"What are you talking about?" I narrowed my eyes biting my tongue from saying anything. I felt his hand under my top and before I could punch the shit out of him I felt him hold my gun.

I leaned in closer, "Good, now that you know what I did, I would get your hand out before I show you how well I can use it,"
