Lost In the saddle

Chapter 1

Today is my first class. It's Biology. My worst class. I just want to ride. I can't wait to see bay berry after school. We have all the time we want to do whatever we want, until 7:00 that's our curfew. She we go on a trai- I got interrupted.

"Faith, how about you?" Said Mr.Banks.

"Uh, ummm, what?" I said. This was the most embarrassing thing in the entire world. Everybody was laughing at me. This was a great way to start the school year.

My next class is math. I'm pretty good at math. I don't think this will be a problem at all. As I sat down I saw someone sit down in front of me. It was Neveah. She saw me and gave me a disgusting look. That brat. The class began to start.

"Hello, children. I'm Mrs.Wood. I will be your Math teacher for now on."

She was pretty strict. I could tell you that. The questions she was putting on the board were super easy compared to my old school though.

"Faith, what is 49 squared times 7?" Said Mrs.wood.

"16,807. " I said trying to show Neveah that I'm smarter than I look.

"Correct!" Said Mrs.wood proud of me. I heard Neavah mumble in her voice, "I'm better than her, I know it.

"Hey, Faith. I'm bored wanna chat?" Said Neavah obviously trying to get me in trouble.

"Neavah, we can talk right now. I whispered we are going to get iln trou- there she was. Mrs. Wood standing right over me and Neavah.

"See me after class. You both got detention for today! Now stop chatting And start listening!" She yelled sharply. My riding plans are over for tonight I guess. Ugh.

After all my classes, biology, math, science,social studies, and Spanish I headed to Mrs. Woods classroom for my detention. As I got there I sat down nervously. I have never been to detention before.

"Okay, everybody here should be very ashamed of themselves. Those of you who have never been here before might as well know that when you come to detention, there is no talking, running, waking or laughing. Just sit down until 4:00 and think about what you have done." Said Mrs.wood strictly. I saw some kid throwing paper at a kid outside. Apparently so did Mrs.Wood.

"Hold on class. Let me talk to these kids out side. DONT-move." Mrs.Wood exclaimed. Somebody was sitting next to me who seemed really nice. His name was Carder. He rode too. His horse was named teddy. He was a buckskin Spanish mustang.

"Hey, I'm Faith. I'm new here. This is my first detention. Ever. So I'm a little nervous. Mrs.Wood is really strict. She got me and Neavah in trouble for just talking. Neavah got me in trouble on purpose. How about you? How did you get here?" I said, trying to make a new friend. I didn't have many. Only Maggie really.

"Wha-what? Me? You were taking to me?" Carder said while looking for someone else I could have been talking to.

"Yea, you. Why? I don't know anyone else here besides rude old Neveah." I said, confused.

"Uh, no reason. I'm just not the most popular, person ever. And your really cute, I mean ho- or um nice. Ha." He said as he blushed in embarrassment.

"Oh, why thanks you. But I'm really not popular. At all. I could be more popular if you want to be my friend. I might go on a quick ride with my room mate Maggie tommorow if you want to come?" I said hoping he would say yes.

"Sure, why not! I'll meet you tomorrow at 6:00." Said Carder.

"Okay, it's a plan!" I said with joy.
