 I am re writing the whole thing sorry

Rylie had always liked the feel of guns. She liked the way they felt in her hands, the way she felt safe around them. She was at the shooting range with Fynn. Fynn was shooting her normal handgun, and Rylie was shooting her shotgun. Rylie was used to moving targets—well, clay disks in the air, more like.

She knew Fynn from volleyball, much like she knew most of her friends. Rylie didn't really make friends outside of her sport. The only one that had won over her heart. She met her best friend Eloise from volleyball too. She knew Eloise had a lot of family in the UK, so she wanted her to have more people here. She also loved her cat Pika. Eloise would always ask if she was just at her house for her cat. 

Eloise liked one of Rylie's best friends, Myles. She always tried to set the two up, but Eloise and Myles are stubborn. It's hard to get the two alone. In payback, El also tries to get Rylie and her crush together, but she always seems to go into hiding when El says that. Yes, Mason was cute, and she thought that she truly did have a chance, but he was in her small friend group. By her friend group, Rylie means Myles, Mason, El, and herself. It's not that many people but it is enough for the group and the small school makes it fine. 

Fynn had stopped shooting, and Rylie looked up to see her reloading. Rylie didn't want to waste any more bullets, so she started to clean her gun and put it away.

" Fynn, I'm going home. I have to take care of the animals! " she yelled over the sound of shots being fired, only to receive a thumbs-up from her friend. Rylie knew Fynn heard her but was just focused. She turned on her heel and walked out the door.

As soon as Rylie got to her truck, which she had only gotten the licence for last week, she pulled out her phone. She dialed one of the only numbers she had memorized and waited for El to answer. Only she didn't answer at all. Rylie frowned down at her phone and shrugged, not giving it a second thought. El was probably just in the shower or maybe just busy.

Rylie turned the keys and listened to the engine roar to life. She turned out of the rocky driveway and turned onto he dirt road. Rylie watched as the fields of cows and other animals flew by her window. She loved living in the country. She also loved her little school where nothing ever happened. But she didn't like science. That was her one deal breaker when it came to school. She was tempted to skip tomorrow and help out her dad but she knew she couldn't let down her team.

After about twenty minutes of driving, she pulled onto an almost hidden dirt driveway. She had to get out and open the gate in order for the truck to get through. But soon enough, Rylie found herself inside the house feeding the dogs and cat. She grabbed her phone from the back pocket of her jeans and opened her volleyball groupchat

Rylie turned off her phone and put it on the counter to charge before putting on her boots and heading out the back door. She walked down to the barn where the horses and goats were. She grabbed some hay, giving one flake to each horse. Maggie got one. Enid did too, as did the final two Rick and Daryl. Did she name them all after The Walking Dead characters? Yes, but she had no problem with it. 'She walked over to the goats and fed them as well before moving onto the chickens and so on.

By the time she was done feeding and cleaning, it was dark, and she still had to do her homework. Rylie walked inside and turned on the lamp in the corner. She sat down by Cassie, who was somehow reading in the dim light, and she grabbed her textbook and her paper and finished the only thing she understood. Math homework.

Math only had one answer, and that was simple. There were many things to get the answer. Hell, some things even had different answers. That made no sense to Rylie but math did. Cassie stared at her as she finished the long homework in such a short time.

" I will never understand how you understand math that easily," Cassie said, still looking down at her book.

" And I never understood how you got a boyfriend without leaving the house," Rylie says with a smirk. Cassie had gotten a boyfriend from only going to school. She never even talked to him, but now they are dating, and no one questions it.

" okay, nick and I started texting and went to Taylor's for burgers. I consider that leaving the house." Rylie rolled her eyes as she got up and put the homework back into her backpack before unlocking the front door.

She did this every night before she went to bed because she knew her father got home late and always misplaced his keys. Cassie was still nose deep in a book when Rylie walked past her and up the stairs to her room.

Rylie took off her boots and laid the backpack that she carried up with her on the ground by her bed. ( Room above) She then walked out to the shower cleaning off all the dirt and grime.

"Rylie! Dads home!" Cassie screams from downstairs, as rylie is getting into her sweat pants and band shirt. Rylie wanted to see her dad but she needed to get to bed. She had a busy day tomorrow and she needed to be rested.

Rylie ignored her sister as she climbed into bed and let sleep claim her body
