  I sigh, looking over my outfit and makeup in the bathroom mirror. Today, I had chosen a high waisted, denim skirt with a cute red and black plaid shirt tucked in. With it, I had on my black converse. I grinned, leaving, heading to my locker. I was already running late, and I didn't have time to mess around.

  I got my history book out, holding it tight against my chest, slamming my locker and walking to art. I kept my head down, to avoid everyone. I had one goal, and that goal was to get to class. I arrived to the art hallway, finally releasing the breath I was holding, and entered my class. I looked around, and noticed, Luke was already here.

  "Good morning Mr. Arce." I said politely, sitting in my seat.

  "Good morning Rae." He smirked at me. I looked at him confused for a second, before looking to the person beside me. Luke.

  "What took you so long, princess?" He asked, smirking at me. I sighed, pulling out my sketchbook.

  "I had to fix my make up." I bluntly said, opening to a fresh page. I began to sketch, drifting into my own world.

"Okay class!" Mr. Arce announced, pulling me from my Day dream. I closed my sketch book, looking around. Naomi was in Luke's seat, and Luke was still occupying Naomi's seat. I rolled my eyes, focusing my attention up front.

"Today, you will be starting a new project. The theme is Unity. I challenge all of you, to show me, what that one, simple word means to you. Good luck." He said, grinning at us. I sighed, opening up my sketchbook, knowing what I was doing. I picked up my pencil, and started a draft.

"Rae." I heard Mr. Arce say. I turned in my seat, and saw him, holding a pass out to me. "Can you go get my paints from coach?" He asked me, as I stood, taking the pass.

"Yes sir." I said, leaving class. I walked down to the athletic hallway, where I saw Coach Simpson walking to the gym. She was at least in her mid 50s, considering my mom had her as a cheer coach.

"Um, Coach Simpson." I called out, getting her attention. She faced me, a grin overtaking her features.

"Cole! How are you?" She grinned at me, placing her hands on her hips. Her platinum blonde hair was pulled into a tight ponytail, and she was wearing a light blue track suit.

And yes. She called me by my moms madden name. Because apparently I looked just like my mom, just with darker hair and glasses.

"I'm okay. Um, Mr. Arce sent me to get his paints from you?" I said in a question sort of way. She chuckled, nodding.

"Right. They're in my office. Now, I have to go. Have a good day Cole!" She waved, waking into the gym. I waved back, heading into her office. I quickly grabbed the box of paints, about to leave when I noticed a picture of a cheer squad. I stopped, and examined the picture.

'Westpoint Ranger Cheer, 2016-2017' it read. I looked at all of the girls, and found my mom wearing her black and white cheer uniform with her hair in a high ponytail. Beside her, was Baley, wearing the exact same thing.

I grinned, leaving her office, and going back to class.

"Here you are sir." I said, placing the paints on the back counter.

"Thank you Rae." He grinned, as I sat down. I opened my sketchbook, and saw a small sketch on the inside.
