We were going out that next day to get school supplies and the likes. I stood in front of my closet as I tried to figure out what to wear. I eventually decided to pull on a pair of purple ombre shorts and a black monogrammed tank top. I flipped my head over and brushed my hair before tying it into a messy bun. I walked into my bathroom to get some makeup on, not much, I kept it light. I slipped my sandals on and grabbed my bag before heading downstairs, where I could hear Faith arguing with her dad. I rolled my eyes.

"Do I have to go?" Faith asked. "I can stay here."

"No, Faith." He sighed, exasperated. "We need to get your school supplies, and I don't want to leave you here alone."

"Okay." She sighed, before stepping past me and going upstairs.

Jason sighed again as he shook his head and looked at me. "Are you ready?"

I nodded. "Yup!"

"Are you trying out for any sports this year?" He asked me, as I played both soccer and softball. "The girls soccer tryouts are next week."

"Really?" I furred my brow.

"Yeah." He nodded. "They hold them in the fall here."

"Awesome." I nodded. "I actually get to play both this year, and for the school." Back in Michigan, I didn't play soccer for the school, because they did that in spring, and I used spring for softball, so I played soccer for the township in the fall. So this would be nice.

Eli was the next one down, and he was ready to go. "Where are we going?" He asked.

"Olympia." Mom responded. "It's about three hours from here."

"Okay." He nodded, following Jason out the door. I shrugged as I followed him, getting into the car and buckling up. And as usual, Faith was the last one out the door, and she didn't look to happy as she buckled up.

"So, Faith, are you trying out for anything this year?" Faith used to be a cheerleader, but for reasons she hasn't told us, she stopped two years ago.

"No." Faith said, shaking her head. "I think I'm just going to go to school, do my work and come home." She said. "I don't want to stay any longer than I have to." She put her earbuds in and stared out the window.

It was a long three hours in the car, but from what I understood, unless you were going to Port Angeles, you would spend more than an hour driving to places to go shopping. I didn't like to shop and hang out at malls, but that was something that was becoming reality to me. I kinda felt bad for Faith, I had to admit. That was her thing, hanging out at malls, but the closest one that I knew of was in Seattle, and that was a good three and a half to four hour drive. Sorry, not sorry.

We finally pulled off at the first store, the sporting goods store and I got out, stretching my legs. I followed my mother and stepfather into the store and mom got a cart. "Okay, so I think that Myra is good on softball equipment, so I'm guessing soccer?" She glanced back over to me."

"Hm-hm." I nodded. "Yeah."

"And of course, football for Eli if he's still wanting to be signed up." She looked at Elijah, whom had nodded.

"I'll take Myra and you Eli?" She suggested to Jason.

Jason nodded. "Sounds good. Come on buddy." Eli followed him. "Faith?"

"Whatever." She shrugged, still listening to her music, but ultimately followed Jason and Eli.

Mom sighed and shook her head as we headed to the women's section. We looked around at the clothes here, before I picked out a few pairs of alethic shorts and tops. "You'll need long sleeves too, it can get cold here in the fall too."

I nodded. "Yeah, I'll do that."

"What are the school colors again?"

"Navy and gold, from what I saw."

"Okay." She went to look at socks for soccer that I would need.

I picked up a few long sleeved shirts, as well as a performance jacket. Mom also urged me to get performance tights as well, to wear under my shorts for practices that lasted into the evening. And sports bras.

"Are your cleats in good shape?"

"Yeah, both of them are still." I nodded my head. I had two pairs of soccer cleats and two pairs of softball cleats that were still in pretty good shape. "As are my shin guards."

"Then lets head over to the equipment." So I followed her over there. I picked up another soccer ball to start practicing with, to be prepared for my tryout, as well as some cones.

"Okay, lets go find the others."

It didn't take us much to find Jason, Elijah and Faith. They had just finished getting my little brother's stuff and we headed to check out, before heading to our next store, which was JcPenny's and then we went to grab supper at Red Lobster, and then finally to Target, where we got our school supplies and some groceries before heading back home.

We pulled into the driveway a little after midnight, and we brought all the bags into the house. Faith and I got our bags to take upstairs; I ended up dropping mine at the foot of my bed. I sleepily went into my bathroom to get a quick shower and got my pajamas on before going to bed.
