Chapter 6
Sniper Claiden
-Xav-
IM on way to the mall to look for a nice costume for our school's hell week. I was looking outside the window of the public transportation i rode towards the town's mall. The weather is really nice today, it's not sunny nor rainy, just a typical cloudy day with the strong wind that made my hair fly, it's my favorite after all. After a couple of minutes, we already reached the mall, from the moment i stoop down the transportation, the wind starts to blow my hair so i immediately hold it as i enter the mall. The structure of the mall is so high that made the wind so strong, aside from the hotels. Of course before i entered, i let the guards first to check my pouch even thou they have nothing to see there, just my wallet, phone and pepper spray. After the checking of the pouch session, i did go straight to the shop where i can buy costumes.
While picking and choosing a garment, i collided with someone, i was reaching for the dress that is so high that made me tip-toe to reach it, and that made my balance out that's why i crashed with someone who is beside me, picking as well. I was about to apologize when i saw Sniper, he smiled. Wait, is his smile even for real? I can't even believe it, he doesn't smile so often when we we're in school, he is so quite like Quart, that's why no one try to talk to him, even boys.
"Xav" he called me, wait did he just called me? He is smiling, girls around him are taking pictures of him as if he was a top global celebrity. Jeez, girls we're pushing each other just for them to be closer, the shop's security guard assisted the costumers to exit the shop. "H-hey" awkwardly i replied but i'm still smiling even thou im so shy, of course i would be shy! Like sis, i have no close friends of Quart, he is the first one to approach me like this, for the first time in 5 years. "So, you're buying a costume as well, i concluded" he asked and i just nodded as my reply, he just smiled that reveals his white teeth with braces. Yup, he has braces, 5'9 in height and white
"Oh that's good, ahm hi! Can you give us a discount please" it made my eyes wide as he beg and pouted in front of the store's manager or owner i think, he is pouting his lips and using his puppy eyes that made his cheeks bigger. Jeez, i've never seen this kind of Sniper in years, it was just so hard to believe, a cold hearted Sniper is pouting and acting cute in public. He is a type of guy who doesn't care about his surroundings
"Okay okay, just go ahead a pick a set and ill give you a 10 percent discount, how come there are so many cute young boys nowadays" she said that before leaving, that made Sniper jump in happiness and that made me freeze and stare at him, his smile while jumping made me focus on him, his sex appeal become so strong when he smiles. "Go and pick a costume" he said and he starts to look for a costume that fits him, i pick Rupunzel's pink dress and a blonde hair wig and waited him to pick. He looked at me, he diverted his gaze towards the dress i chose
"Hmm you choose Rupunzel, hmm okay then I'll pick Flynn Rider" he said and made my eyes wide once again, he pulled me until we reached the counter and put the garments we chose. I was about to pull my wallet out when he stopped me. "Ill pay" he pulled out his credit card and smile to the girl on the other side of the counter that made her blush. After packing, he gave me the paper bag with my dress. He was about to leave when i pulled his arms that made him stop. It's just there are many question that is crossing over my head, I'll be dismayed if i didn't question him now. I just wanted to know why he acted like that
I just pulled him until we reach to mall's Starbucks branch, and forced him to sit down, he just chuckle for what i did. He is still in the state of shock because of what i did. "Why?" i asked while my eyes were full of question. Okay im getting shy now, why am i even doing this? "Ohh okay okay, im getting tired hearing those screams everyday and i also don't want to be surrounded by women, it irritates me so much, when i starts to wear my cold aura, no one dares to talk to me again. They even think I'll eat them" so th beats it, that's the reason.
From my position where my chin is resting on my hands that is on the top of the table with my eyes narrowed, i leaned back to my chair where my hands are rested on its arms. He's a good guy after all, i thought he is always made like Quart, sometimes his eyebrows were wrinkled that made me think of that, as if he isn't pleased on what is happening in the world. I was sitting freely but still looking at him when the Starbucks bell rang which means someone entered and a familiar voice crossed my ears
"I want Macchiato babe"

-Sniper-
SHE WAS ABOUT TO turn her head around when i stop her. She is just looking at me, Raven and Yvonne are in front of the counter and the cashier is punching their orders. Before they leave, Raven looked at me as if he wants to say something but i dont understand it. He and Yvonne made their way out. "Is it now okay?" i was back to reality when i saw Xavrina looking at me with a 'Move-your-hand-away' look. Thank God, i stopped her from turning because i know for sure what the ending will be, of course she will cry
"Yeah, ops sorry hehe" i said awkwardly said, jeez that made me shy, i put my hands away from her head. I still smiled showing my braces, up until now, i think she still hasn't move on because of what i did, based on her expression on her face. "What?" i asked while laughing, well her face made me laughed. "You're weird, do you even know that?" she said and snatch her pouch and paper bag away and made her exit from the coffee shop. I am just laughing while following her until we reach the terminals of taxis
"Ahm if you don't mind, i can take you home?" i offered, my weirdness is still imprinted to her face while looking at me that made me laugh again. "O C'mon Fortalejo, besides i know your brother, and it can lessen your expenses" i said that, just trying to be close to her. "Fine" she said and laughed at her until we reached the parking lot. Because I'm a handsome gentleman, i opened the car door for her and she just rolled her eyes on me. I know she inherited that to Xaver (Saver, Her brother) I started the engine and we drove past the mall we just visited

HES SO damn weird, for real! Like earlier at the coffee shop, he held my head. Does he doesnt know that even thou i love Quart so much, there are chances i might be attracted to him. He's handsome for Ghad sake. Its not that i like him, thats why i said there's a chance, its because he has a strong sex appeal and argh fine he's handsome. I cant even escape at my own mind and conscience. But i know who entered, i know the voice but i can't think of who it was, i didnt see it. Stupid Sniper. I cant also cant put his hands away, im staring at his beautifulf face
Oh jeez self! You're loyal remember?
Then after that he just laughed and laughed, i can guarantee, tommorow that attitude of his is nowhere to be seen again, basically back to normal. And yet, i remembered, his costume is Flynn Rider, Eugene in short, we're the same, Copy cat. I was at the taxis terminal when he offered me a ride. He's really weird, i felt like it was not Sniper Claiden Dela Cruz who I'm talking with that time. I can't reject his offer, he's right, it can lessen my expenses for the fare
"Thanks for the ride and for paying my clothes as well, you wont let me pay" i said while he was still at the driver seat of his car. He just smiled agreeing of what i said. "Let me repay you, everything you want" i said and he just nodded. Can't he able to talk anymore? He closed the car window and made his way
Weird but cute
