With A Little Help From My Friends!
I got in the car. I sat in the front. Im so glad my new friends decided to help me out by convincing Sam to let me get a new archery set! We got to the store...well sports store.
"I'll be right back!" I yelled. I walked in the store. The first thing I saw was a a soccer net. I kept walking to the back of the store. Then I saw it. Well a bow and arrow. That sounded a bit dramatic. "Then I saw it" Haha. I picked up a bow. It was beautiful. Handmade, out of wood. It was almost exact to the ones I used at the competitions I was in.
"Can I shoot one of the arrows to see which one I like?" I asked the guy at the desk.
"Sure" I picked up the bow and arrow. I pulled the bow back and released. It hit the bull’s eye. I smiled. Just like I remember how I was.
"Wow...that was really good" Someone said from behind me. I turned around. There was a girl who looked to be my age. She had shoulder length dark brown hair. She had brown eyes. I smiled at her.
"Thank you!" I said happily.
"Are you new...like you have an American accent...and I've never seen you before?"
"Yeah I moved here today wow I didn't even unpack yet.and I'm buying my bow and arrow" I said out loud. This girl was staring at me like she was about to laugh.
"Well what is your name?" She said
"I’m Autumn...."
"Well Autum maybe I could show you around sometime. I'm Grace"
"Aww that would be awesome! See I live with my brother...and 4 other guys....so I need a friend thats a girl!" I said and smiled.
"Well...that's what I'm here for! What is your number?" We exchanged numbers... It appeared she would be one of my new best friends.
"Well maybe we could hang out in tomorrow?" I said
"Yeah that would be awesome!" She said. I know we just met but she doesn't seem like a stalker or anything. I walked up and paid for my bow and arrows. Grace and I walked out of the store.
"Well by see you tomorrow!" I said
"Bye!" I got in the car.
"Did you make a friend?" Sam said.
"I did and we’re hanging out tomorrow!" I said happily. We drove home in a comfortable silence. I ran out of the car and to the 3rd floor. Everyone was following me upstairs.
"So let's see how good you really are." Danny said and smirked. Does he ever smile? I've seen everyone smile but not him.....
"Fine" I said
"What do you want me to shoot at?"
"Hmm that pile of rice over there."
"Why is there rice over there?" I asked.
"It's not rice its rock salt for when it snows and so the driveway is less slippery" Sam said
"Ohh okay. Well im going to shoot at it." It was across the other side of the room. It was clear that nobody in the room thought I could do it. I sighed.
"I'm going to shoot at the circle in the center." I brought the arrow up...the bow was pressed against my lips. Steady, I thought. Don't mess up. Just shoot. I let the arrow go. It went flying through the air insanely fast. I smiled. It hit the salt right where I said it would. Salt started falling out of the bag. I turned around and smirked at them all. They had shocked expressions on their faces.
