Jell-O legs and accidents

Riiiiinnggggg!!!!! My alarm clock rang making my head throb. "Ughhhhhh Mione get uppppp," I called to my twin sister. My gosh I hate school. And 8th grade. And life. I hate everything ugh. " No, ur crazy," Mione said. We are NOT morning people. At all. " Cass, Mione get your lazy asses out of bed you two can't be late again!!!!" My mother yelled from downstairs. Mione and I may be twins and very similar personality wise, but looks, we are waaayyyy different. She had dark almost black curly hair (naturally anyway, it's not short and blue with half shaved off) with freckles and blue grey eyes. I have strait blonde hair( again naturally, it's passed my shoulder blades and it's teal ombré to green) with blue green eyes, not a freckle to be seen. As I opened my eyes they stung from the light above by bed. I saw Mione siting up, her crazy hair going every which way. I grabbed my cream sweater with a black giraffe wearing a top hat and moustache, black leggings and my combat boots to top it off. And dont forget the black and cream stripey beanie. Never forget the beanie. "Ugh I hate mornings," Mione and I grumbled in unison. " Hurry up you two we're gunne be late!!!" Ami yelled from downstairs. " Coming Ami!!!" Mione yelled. Since Ami is 16, she had her license. Mione and I being the 2nd oldest get a ride with her. Plus a stop to Starbucks.

Today I get to ride Champagne in my dressage lesson. She's one of my favorites to ride, she is super responsive to aids with super smooth gaits. " Hi Champagne how are you lovey" I asked her. Our conversation was clearly very one-sided, but I knew what she was trying to say, horsie style. Champagne may be small, but she is beautiful. Her golden pal amino coat sparkles with her cream mane and tail flow with waves. I grabbed my white saddle pad, black Wintec dressage saddle, black girth and HDR dressage bridle. I love her brow band, I made every bridle's brow band different so it's easy to tell whos who's. It has rhinestones:). I tacked her up and walked out to the indoor arena. We have a large ring, lots of letters. "Hello Cass, ready to do some dressage?" Noelle asked. I nodded my head. I warmed up by one walk lap, a trot lap and two canter laps both ways, then some circles. " Alrighty let's get this show on the road," said Noelle. " Drop your stirrups". I mentally groaned. I hate stirrupless. I have the balance but it hurrrrtttsss. " Okay. Twenty meter circle at C at a sit trot, come down the quarter line and leg yield left, then canter, flying lead change in the center. Come back down the center line a nod halt at X." Oh joy this should be fun. I gently squeeze her into a smooth rocky trot and use my inside leg to bend her around the circle. I turn my head to look down the quarter line before I pass C and turn her sharply with my seat. I gently tap with my inside leg but have steady contact with my outside, she easily crosses her back legs and moves to the wall. As we neared the rail I slid my outside leg back and Champagne glides into a smooth canter. I go up the long side and turn down the diagonal, getting her strait between my legs, remembering to keep them long. I bend her the opposite direction and slide my outside leg back. I feel her skip slightly and I know our lead change was successful. I complete by ending in a perfect square half at X. When u all on, my legs are shaking, can I go to bed now?

Omigosh my legs are gunna fall off. "My legs are like jello ugh" I complained, cuz u know, complaining is fun. And annoying people is fun. " I'm gunna kill you Nevaeh!"someone yells. I feel cold water come in contact with my back, followed by high pitched giggling. May. " Noooo May I don't wanna get wettttt. Someone make Michelle stop screaming!!!" Utter chaos as I walked into my house. My friends always complain they wish they a sibling, yet for some reason they turn down my offer. I said free shipping!! Ughhhhh. "Mione can u hand me my water bottle please" I asked her. "No". She's very into one word answers. Stupid. " I'm going to take a bath. " I told her. My legs hurrrtt. I get no response. " Remember when we were abducted?" Still nothing. She sucked into her phone. " Jensen Ackles" I say, knowing this will get her attention. "OMG WHERE MY BABY SQUIRREL WHAT IF HE BROUGHT THE IMPALA WHAT IF JARED AND MISHA ARE HERE TOO" there you go. " They aren't here you idiot I just needed to get your attention," jeeeez that girl. " CASSILEAH WHAT THE HELL IS THIS," there's that delightful screaming coming from none other than the evil mother herself. " What the hell is what mother?" I ask. I don't know why parents think kids can see everything they see. Ughhhh. " Watch your mouth young lady. This paper is terrible how many times do I have to edit this until it's decent?!?" She raises her voice, clearly aggravated. I just stare at the table in front of me.

Just keep staring just keep staring

"I will try to help you one last time, since this book report is important" my mom says. I think she wants me to be thankful, when all she's really doing is telling me very thing I do is wrong and there is no point in my existence. I'm wiring this horrible report for my honors English class next year. I hate Shakespeare. "Okay," is all I reply. " Cass, u can't start a sentence with "and"," she says rolling her eyes. " And who is this person? What's her background you have to act like the reader has never read the damn book! I swear you really need to use that head of yours, u really can be stupid sometimes". Gee thanks mother. I'm feeling the love. " FINE IF U DONT WANT MY HELP THATS FINE. ITS NOT MY PAPER!!" She just starts screaming. I don't say anything. I never said I don't want her help...

**FF bleh**

Once I'm finally in the safety of my own room, I pull on a black tank top then my red Sleeping With Sirens one over top of it, letting suspenders hang loosely around my legs grabbing my beanie and converse, I flop down on my bed. " Netflix here I come". I desperately need to catch up on Supernatural. I just finished season 6 last week and I've been flying through since that. I started dying when Castiel just grins and goes, " I got it at the Hot Topical". Hot Topic has officially made it into the fandom. SUCCESS. My eyelids are getting heavy. A little nap never hurt anybody, right?

**1 hour latah**
" Hey umm Cass, sweetie could you come here a minute please? " My mom wakes me up, sounding nervous and distressed. " Coming!" U go out of my room and slip on the wood stairs and slide all the way on my butt. Curse you pleasantly fuzzy socks. " It's Noelle, she umm needs to tell you something,". I'm starting to get nervous here, Noelle always calls my cell if she needs me... " Hi Noelle is everything okay?" I asked, my voice shaking a bit. " Cass I'm so so sorry, but...its Champagne... she's had an accident, she's not looking so good"
