She was in the midst of getting ready for her first day of her last year of high school. She was kind of excited yet she was scared. She was excited for the fact that this would be her last year living under her mother's watchful eyes, though she had slacked a considerable amount, she was still a bit overbearing at times. Now she was scared at the fact that she would have to buckle down and choose a college soon. There had been some that started courting her at the end of her junior year due to her high grades and her involvement in the archery club but she didn't just want to pick one that had showed interest, she wanted one that she would truly like and enjoy. After putting on her black combat boots she looked at her appearance in the mirror. She decided to wear a plaid green shirt with a little of brown in it, a black tank top under of course, and white pants. Bobbing her head in approval, she grabbed her phone and her brown messenger bag as she headed downstairs. When she got down to the last step, she was met with three little boys zipping past her.

"Mornin' boys!" She called after the three who currently we're at the door.

"Mornin' Sis!" Each of her brothers called as they walked out.

"Wait boys!" She heard her mother call after them. Even though they were seven year old boys, she was still protective of them.

"Let them be. I'm pretty sure the wee devils can handle everything." The redhead teen said as she headed to the refrigerator to get an apple. She heard her mother sigh before she felt her presence on the side of her, making coffee probably.

"I'm just worried about them." Her mother's Scottish accent seeping through. Her mother long since had gotten use to the American way of speaking while everyone else still had the thick Scottish accent within their vocals. After picking the perfect apple she bit into it and started walking out the door.

"Bye mom!"

"Be careful Merida!" She heard mother say, again with her Scottish accent showing. She snickered at how when her mother gets worried or stressed she returns back to her original accent.

Merida walked to school since it was only a twenty minute walk from her home. When she got there she walked to the meeting spot finding two of her best friends already there.

"Mornin' Els, Punzie!"Her thick accent bellowing through the air. The two girls turned to her and smiled before giving their greetings. Soon her other best friends, Jack Frost and Eugene Fitzherbert, or more commonly know as Flynn Rider, came to join. Currently Jack was dating Elsa as Flynn was dating Rapunzel. Merida was the only one in the group who didn't have a boyfriend and that was only because she still had this lingering crush for one boy. And speaking of said crush, she saw him across the courtyard, walking with Fishlegs, Tuffnut, and Snotlout. Hiccup Horrendous Haddock. He was tall, had the right set of muscles, had the face, smart, and kind. The redhead hardly ever speaks to him but he tends to help archery out with some of the technology based stuff they get and sometimes in the classes they have together. Only Elsa and Rapunzel knows about the crush she has on him due to the fact that Flynn and Jack we're both friends with him, Jack being his best friend since forever and she didn't trust either of them to keep a secret. Sometimes he came to hang out with the guys, conversing with the girls a little, but Merida never really said anything to him and pretends to be obsessed with whatever scenery that was going on around them. She couldn't say anything. Why? Well because he currently has a girlfriend. Astrid Hofferson. They'd been going out since the last year of middle school, after he'd done some heroic event saving a bunch of cats. She hadn't realize that she was staring in his direction still, until they had made eye contact. He gave her a small smile with a little wave and turned back to Tuffnut. Her heart did a little skip as she turned back to her friends.

Soon she was sitting in class, listening to Mr. Aster go on about history and how it shaped today. The only ones who were really listening was Tiana, Belle, and of course Hiccup. This was one of the three classes she had with him. History(first period), P.E(fourth period), and English(eighth period) and that's not including lunch since he's mostly with Astrid. She watched as he took down each note. After a while, it turned into a debate on the treatment of slaves and rather what the owners did was justified or not, in which Tiana took in great interest with Hiccup and Belle on her side saying it wasn't while two other people said that it was a necessary need to fit in or survive.

Second period was algebra ii with Elsa and Rapunzel. Math has always been one of her best subject due to archery. Third period she had student aid, where she'd help out the office or any teachers. Astrid was in her class but they didn't speak to each other since all they had to do was go to the office, check in, and get their mission for that day.

In fourth period they had free time due to the fact that it was the first day of school. While the boys played football, some of the girls played volleyball. Her platinum blonde haired friend walked over to her and gave her a nudge pointing to the group of guys now gathered at the center of the court. She looked and saw what she was pointing to, resulting in the redhead giving her a light punch on the arm. She pointed to no one other than her crush Hiccup who was currently with Jack and Flynn. Merida, Elsa, Punzie, Flynn, Jack and Hiccup all had this class which was a pro and a con situation.

Pro, she had her friends with her so she didn't have to worry about the presence of Hiccup.

Con, she had Elsa and Punzie, who'd tease her about her crush from time to time. It wasn't helping when he'd finally started playing sports either. The girls tossed the ball back in forward until they got bored since some of them showed no interest or some were too scared of the ball. They sat and watched the boys basketball game for the rest of class.

Next was lunch and they'd usually walk in a group with Hiccup until he goes off to find his girlfriend, informing her mind that they still were together, leaving a slight pang in her heart. Merida decided that she was going to eat a quick sandwich and leave for archery, her next class, so she could have some type of distraction. It was her go to place, even when she was a kid. The bow and arrow were her second best friends.

Then Physics was with Flynn and Rapunzel even though most people we're taking a college level biology class. That class was spent with each person talking about what they had learned last year and what they'd be applying to this year's lesson.

In eighth period once again another class she had with Hiccup. Belle and Cinderella were also in their English class. They were starting the year off with reviews of last year and a homework assignment (really homework on the first day?) asking what is their take on the American dream. That was basically how her day went and how all her days would be.
