The two best friends. 2

Elijah and Xavier are two really close friends who served as one of the best snipers in the war. They both enjoy each others company. However the friendship didn't last forever. As the book went on they grew what seemed to me "farther apart". At home Elijah was never rude to Xavier and never made fun of him to other people. But in the war it was different they seemed to have man differences that they never noticed before. For example in chapter Xavier felt that it was his duty to take care and protect elijah due to have more experience then him. They both were really competitive against each other because they both wanted to prove that they were better then one another. However in chapter 9 Elijah and Xavier enter a shooting competition where you had to light match a bullet but elijah ended up loosing that competition because he was over confident.
