"Alright, so we do have permission to do independent archery stuff if you can bring in a doctor's note saying you can't keep up with team sports and have another option."

"I think I can manage that."

"Coach is letting us do it today since I have a note and I said good things about you, but he'll want something official from you eventually. I'll show you where we'll be practicing."

And they leave the gym.

Solvei is excited.

Allison also looks excited! They make there way behind the school, where next to the lacrosse field is a copse of trees.

Allison begins their trek through them, beckoning Solvei to follow.

The woods are quite well-lit this time of day.

How nice of the woods.

Solvei keeps up with ease. Trekking through the woods: a familiar pastime.

It's not a very long trek, they are still supposed to be on school grounds.

They probably aren't, really, but Allison won't tell.

The targets are already set up.

"Neat," says Solvei. "Okay: educate me."

Allison educates her.

She demonstrates the proper way to hold a bow, making sure to give Solvei a view from a few angles.

"The first step for you will be finding a bow with the right draw length. You're shorter than most new archers, so we'll have to find something that fits."

"I had the same problem with cellos."

"This won't be too bad, then. I'll take you shopping whenever you have time, until then, this will mostly be theory, not practice." 

So she shows how she holds her bow and the right place to look when aiming, and eventually, gym class ends. 

"I'll see if I can fit bow shopping into my schedule," she says. "Shouldn't be too hard. I have not yet made friends with every single person in Beacon Hills, although I'm working on it."

"I don't know if even you can pull that off. Your friends don't all have to like each other, but I think you need basic civility."

"Watch me."

Oh, she will.

Beacon Hills tends to collect interesting people, and this one doesn't look like she'll break their recent streak. 

Students engage in various after-school activities, some sponsored and some not. 

Well, are any of these after-school activities advertised to newcomers?

Nooot really, but if she sticks around after she returns from gym she'll spot Danny. 

He has been helpful so far. 

"Hi!" she says. "What's your opinion on chocolate truffles?"

"They sound delicious. How was your second day?"

"Pretty good! My plan to befriend the entire population of Beacon Hills proceeds apace."

"That sounds like a really unnecessary challenge to give yourself your first week, but if you're into that sort of thing, sure. Have you looked into the clubs here yet?"

"I have not. Do tell!"

"Unfortunately, despite Allison's one-track mind, we don't have an archery club. We do have art, film, chess, debate, a few service organizations...fencing, woodworking, photography...tea club, uh, League of Legends...there's probably more."

"You have a tea club? That's adorable."

"I guess it is. They sample different teas, mostly. Not very interesting. Oh, we have a cooking club and an anime club, too."
