As my dad drove into
the drive through of the academy, I started to clutch my stomach. "Dad,
I'm so nervous." I said he looked at me and tried to examine my emotions,
"Son, don’t worry about today. You have your horse Valentine and your friends."
He said "Yea I know" I said.
He drove into the
parking lot and put the truck into park. Dad turned over and looked at me
" Alex why don’t you unload Valentine and bring her to the stable, while I
unload your stuff to your dorm." He said "Sure." I said I opened
the door and that split second the fall air blew into my face, I scanned the
whole area. I looked from the trees to the fountain and to the other students
unloading their belongings.
I unlatched the
trailer door and stepped inside the trailer and unhooked the gate door.
"Hey girl." I say stepping towards her and petting her shoulder.
"Welcome to your new home girl" taking her by the lead rope and when
she was done unloading I latched the trailer door and started to walk towards
the giant " WELCOME TO DRYCREEK RIDING ACADEMY" sign and started to
search for the sign that showed the way to the stable.
About thirty-five
minutes just standing there looking like an idiot before finding the Stable
sign. It was hiding under a drape of old vines hanging from the stable wall,
just then I hear someone yelling my name and I turn around to look. I see a
short petite blond girl about half my height. "ALEX! ALEX! OVER
HERE!" The girl yells while waving at me and with the other trying to
block out the sun from her eyes. As I start to walk towards the girl, she
starts to walks towards me to. Once We were close enough I realized who she
was, it was my "CRUSH" Sadie Walker.
"Hey Sadie, I
didn't recognize you from afar." I smile, afar? Who says afar? UGH! I'm so
stupid!
"Hey Alex!
Ooh.. I LOVE your shirt!" she say pointing at my shirt. I look down at my Sleeveless shirt that had a GO HATHAWAY HORNETS image printed onto the front of front of my shirt. "Oh! That's my basketball t-shirt from my old school." BEEP! BEEP!.. Her
watch goes off "Oh! I've got to go. See you next time, How about I just
give you my number" She says smiling "Sure, I'll put mine in yours
to" We hand each other our phones and type in our numbers. "See ya,
Alex" She steps forward and stop and pets Valentine and kisses her muzzle
before she leaves. "Bye Valentine" She walks off. I whisper to
Valentine "Did she just ask me out?" I say smiling.
