Louis and Asha both go to Ardent Academy For The Talented in England. They are both Head girl and Head boy of the school. However, they both despise each other, constantly throwing insults and competing with each other whenever they get a chance. On...
I groaned. I was not a morning person. My school had a large bell that would hit every morning at 6:30. I rubbed my eyelids with my fists and slowly sat up on my bed. It was the first day of school. I loved my school but the students.. not so much. My school was a school like no other. It was known for having some of the best alumni. My school was created by a man named Joseph Ardent in 1652. Yes, i know its ancient. He created it for 'talented' young people ages 4-21 such as James Bond who's talent was coding, Timothee Chalamet who's talent was acting and Michelle Obama who's talent was Politics. People travelled abroad just to come to this school.
I've been going to this school ever since I was 4. I'm in Upper Fifth which in normal schools is called Year 11. Private schools in England call years differently. My talent is archery. My parents taught me archery ever since I was 3. A bit dangerous for a 3 year old you would think. I would believe so too but my parents had minds like no other parents. I admired them for that. They say 'it's never too early to start' and 'take the opportunities you're given'. Since our school is practically in the middle of nowhere, most of the students here board so they have their own rooms. Even the 4 year olds. Although the younger kids have chaperones to look after them.
It's very hard to get into this school. It was ranked #1 on the England's Top Schools 2021 leaderboard. To become a student at this fine school, you have to have a talent that you are exceptionally good at. You have a meeting with the Headteacher and Director of your talent and then you audition. They then decide whether to invite you to become a full time student here at Ardent. They don't just accept you because your good at your talent, they accept you on whether you enjoy and are willing to work hard to progress your natural talent. 10,000 people apply every year, only 50 get in. That's a 1/200 chance. Our school is quite small considering we have kids as young as 4 to 21. There are 1150 students in total. 50 in each year group.
I stepped out of my cozy bed and made my bed neatly. I brushed my hair and teeth and picked out an outfit for the day.

I walked out my dorm with my backpack and bow. My first lesson was Physics then i had my talent subject which was Archery. My favourite part of the day. Each student would do their talent subject 3 hours a day.
I was walking down the corridor when i bumped into a large figure.
"Watch it Banks" An annoying voice said. I turned around and my eyes met an annoying face.
"Fuck off Partridge" I replied giving him the middle finger.
One person i hated in this school was Louis Partridge. We were rivals in EVERYTHING. His talent was piano and i can't lie, he's amazing at it. We would draw 1st place in every subject. We were both head boy and girl and in front of teachers, we acted as if we got along but every student knew the tension between us.
