Beep.., Beep, Beep! I hear the distant sound of my alarm clock, "Ugh..."I say tiredly as I sit up and rub my eyes. "REESE. GET UP SO YOU'RE NOT LATE!!" I hear my mother yelling up the stairs at me. I also hear some gibberish, most likely an argument.
I push the fluffy blankets back as my legs get thrashed by the cold air, I look up to see my scarlet red leds still on from the night before. "I should really make sure I turn those off".I start walking over to my closet before I stopped myself looking in the mirror in the corner of my room. I see my dusty green eyes peeking just past my bangs.
I decide to stop looking at myself and I walk over to my closet. I opened it to see an array of colors, Okay thats a lie it was mostly black and white. I chose a simple outfit, Short black sleeve with a random graphic on the front, with a jean jacket, and a pair of dark blue or black jeans. I walk over to the side of my bed to see my shoes, "Hm.. which shoes to wear". I bent down and decided to choose a pair of red boots.
I start walking towards the door, Right before I head out I grab my backpack As I was walking out my room I grab my skateboard, I had already put my phone, earbuds and keys away in my backpack earlier. As I start walking down my creaking stairs I hear hushed whispers of an argument from my parents. "Im leaving for school!" I burst as I don't want to have to deal with whatever they are arguing about. "Ok, Bye" My mother yells.
I walk out of my oak door as the sounds of my parents arguing gets louder. I decided to just put my headphones in as I skate off the school. As I arrive I see students everywhere chatting. "Man, It's too loud at this school". I just decided to walk to my locker. I got to my locker which was a top locker which is okay since I'm 5 '5. I put my backpack away making sure to keep my phone and earbuds with me.
I walk down the eerie and bland hallway as I make my way to homeroom. I sit in the back since I'm kinda a loner in this school. I decided to put my earbuds in and listen to more music as I see students flowing into the door. I take my earbuds out as I hear the loud screech of the bell indicating school has started. I sit back and stare into the distance as the announcements go off. It's really just a bunch of words mixed together, I'm not really paying attention that's for sure. It was all gibberish until I hear
"Meet down in the cafeteria if you are interested in archery this year! Grades 9-12 can join our senior high team, Come down after the pledge if you are interested." Hm I like archery, I think I will try it out After the pledge I raise my hand, "Yes Reese?" The teacher calls out. I feel every eye on me as I ask "Can I go to the archery thing?". "Yes you may Reese." The teacher said, looking back at his computer.
I lean down and pick up my backpack as I start walking out of the classroom. "Of course the freak wants to go to archery" All I hear is the boys laughter in the background. I decided to try and ignore them as much as I can. I walk back into the lonely hallway down to the cafeteria, and sit, then wait.

Ring..Ring, Ring! I hear my phone alarm go off. I reach over to turn it off, accidentally knocking it off my nightstand instead. "Seriously" I whisper as I rub my eyes. I pulled off my fluffy grey blanket letting the cold breeze overtake my legs. I leaned down touching my soft rug as I pick up my phone. "Huh, the alarm turned off, Weird" I walk over to my closet as I turn my fairy lights on. I open the closet to see an array of colors.
I grab my favorite yellow crop top, my green camo pants, and my favorite black doc martin boots. I head to the mirror and look at my messy medium length hair, and light brown eyes staring back at me, I also see the faint freckles that scatter my cheeks. I grab the brush off of my dresser and start brushing my hair, I add my favorite perfume, Sugar Cookie, and head over to my bed to grab my backpack. I pick up my black backpack and grab my keys, phone, and earbuds off of my nightstand. As I exit the room my nose is filled with the smell of eggs and bacon.
I start heading downstairs, As I reach the bottom I see my little sisters eating breakfast, since you know they actually had time. Where we go to school, high school starts earlier than them, so I just grabbed a granola bar and started heading out the door. As I open the door I look back and say "Bye guys have a great day" to my younger sisters. I step outside and start my car to drive to school.
I get into my silver equinox, to be honest it was my parents but they never use it soooo, It's basically mine. I reach the school parking lot and start walking up to the school doors. As I walk in I see students everywhere, next to their lockers, even in the middle of the hall, Like seriously who does that. I walk to my locker to grab a few pens and then head to my homeroom.
I walk down the hallway that it littered with colorful posters. I reach my homeroom and sit in my assigned seat and just played on my phone until the announcements go on. I hear the long ring of the bell and then the announcements. I put my phone on the desk and listened to the announcements "Meet down in the cafeteria if you are interested in archery this year! Grades 9-12 can join our senior high team, Come down after the pledge if you are interested." "Hm, that sounds amazing, I really wanna do that, I guess I'll raise my hand" My arm shot in the air and I almost immediately got called on. "Yes, Autumn?" My teacher asks, In all honesty she wasn't the best teacher; she was barely in the room, always yelling at someone about something.
"May I go to the archery callouts?" I ask excitedly
"Sure." She said so bluntly
I get up and start walking to the door, before I turn around and realize I completely forgot my bag, Uh my bad. Anyway I walk down to the cafeteria and 3 people catch my eye. One girl who is dressed in this punkish type style, "Hm, Never seen her around before". One of the other people I see is a boy who is dressed very nicely, kinda like he is a walking coffee shop.
The last person I see is one of those popular girls you would see in a movie, or well that's what she looked like. Gonna be honest they do not look like they would enjoy archery or like any sport. I sit down and the coach starts talking about stuff like practices and blah, blah, you get the point. At the end of the coaches lecture she states "So we have practice after school today! At 5-8 so be ready for some fun! See you all there!" The bell then rang indicating it was time for first period.

Time skip to Practice

As I arrive home I grab my drawstring bag and shove some miscellaneous things such as shoes, shorts, deodorant. The necessary things. I put my bag on my back and start heading towards the school for practice. As I made it to school I walk into the locker room and I saw three girls as of now in there. Just then the door opened, "It's just me , Go ahead and get changed and we can meet in the gym!" Our coach bounces.
