Wha?! Was that the sun? Oh, right. Riley Revels, a seventeen-year-old senior and musical savant, suddenly shot up and blurrily looked around. Absently, and blindly, he began searching for his phone which was lost somewhere in the tousled blankets and sheets. [color=0AFFE7]"Ughhrghh."[/color] Came the unintelligent sounds of a teenager first waking up, and finally, a hand made contact with the phone, and with a press of a button Riley's eyes widened as the time was brought up in the blocky white text. [color=0AFFE7]"Fuuuck."[/color] And with that exclamation, the relatively slow wake-up became a dead sprint. Riley jumped out of the borrowed bed and made his way over to the drawer that his clothes were on. He grabbed something [url=https://i.pinimg.com/564x/36/d8/34/36d8344937cacd5c9e249c69f4c0739d.jpg]simple[/url] before rushing into the bathroom and starting a shower. As the water was warming Riley randomly started one of his Playlists and blasted it. 

The shower was quick, and Riley was ready in record time. He came downstairs, eyes searching for Tanith, and frowned when he didn't see her, or any sign that she was there. [color=0AFFE7]"Tan? Tanith? I thought you were making breakfast?!"[/color] He chuckled to himself and shrugged as he grabbed a bowl and some cereal and then proceeded to speed eat while looking over some of his compositions. [color=0AFFE7]"You owe me breakfast Tan."[/color] He mumbled through a half-full mouth. When he was finished he made sure to wash his bowl and spoon then put everything back exactly where it came from, grabbed his keys, and then ran out to his car. 

Traffic. Was. Terrible. Riley, having run slightly late despite his rushing, got stuck on the way. So, he made the most of it. If he was going to be late, it might as well be worth it. 

He ended up being fifteen minutes late. It wasn't anywhere near as bad as it could've been but still. He was late. He quickly parked in the Senior lot and then made his way to a particular security posting. [color=0AFFE7]"Alan? Hey! My favorite Security Officer. Have a good summer?"[/color] Alan, who was looking down at a schedule smirked and then looked up.

[color=gray]"Mr. Revels, already filling up those tardies?"[/color] There was mirth in his eyes though as the man eyed the cinnamon roll and large coffee that had suddenly been placed before him. [color=gray]"Bribery eh? I guess some things never change."[/color] He trailed off and then made a gesture to move on in with his head. [color=gray]"Straight to the band room, and if you're caught I know nothing."[/color] And with that, the guard chuckled again and began unwrapping the sticky sweet treat. 

[color=0AFFE7]"Thanks, Alan!"[/color] Riley called as he sprinted into the school grounds proper. He waited for the first bell and then snuck into the band room, going through the instrument hall to avoid being spotted, and then entering the office where the band staff did their work. Finally relaxing, Riley brought out his composition and began doing what he did, and loved best. Creating music. His current orchestration was a reimagining of the How to Train your Dragon music. 

He was just finishing up the final edits to the [url=https://youtu.be/BZic2bEHoqA]overture[/url] when he heard someone entering the room and looked up to see one of the staff peering at him with surprise. [color=gray]"Day one? Really? You know you can't do this every day right?"[/color] Riley gave a nod and held up his work.

[color=0AFFE7]"I just HAD to finish this overture, it wouldn't go away in my head."[/color] The staff member took a single glance at the work and couldn't help the impressed look that came over his face.

[color=gray]"Just don't make it a habit Riley. Free periods, lunch, before school, and AFTER school is already plenty of time. Now, I suggest you move yourself to the auditorium for the assembly currently being held."[/color] 

[color=0AFFE7]"Assembly? Ohhh crap, right. I'm on it. Thank you!"[/color] He called again over his shoulder. He gave a wave to the Choral and Orchestra directors and then ran to the auditorium. He slid himself into the very back row of seats and once again shook his head. Late at the start meant a butterfly effect of trying to catch back up. 

But an opportunity to do just that was about to present itself. As the Principal began to wrap up his speech, Riley slipped out and went ahead and made his way down to the Lacrosse field.

He waited just a moment so it wasn't too obvious he had come early and then grabbed a few snacks and a drink before climbing up into the bleachers and started claiming territory. He spread out his work, making sure it was secure and wouldn't blow away in any wind. He also made sure to save a spot for Tanith and anyone else that wanted to spend their time listening to various bits of music over and over with only slight variations. 

Finally. He could relax.
