A freezing cold breeze swept through me as I stood next to my mum. My nerves had started when I had arrived in England only 2 days ago. My legs felt like noodles, shacking; my stomach had been doing a number of flips in the last 13 minutes travelling in the taxi from the hotel.
“Come on Sash, calm down” my mum said as she grabbed my bags and paid for the taxi. “You’re here for a reason. You’ve been selected to do this, be happy. Ok?”
“O-Ok” I spat out; still freaking. “Now, let’s go find the administration office. Where did the lady say it was?” mum asked as we started walking towards the school.
Walking through the school grounds, mum and I were amazed. The main school building was the closest to the car park. The building was a three stories high brick building with middle grey windows. As we walked down the path we ran into a lady, in her mid-40s. “Hi, we’re looking for the administration office. Would you be able to point us to it?” mum said. The lady pointed towards a small brick building not far ahead. “Thanks” we said heading towards the building. When we got to the front of the building, it was all lit up. Mum and I entered the building and was greeted with a tall and skinny lady.
“Hello, welcome to Silverwood Elite Riding Academy, I’m Head Mistress Kesler. That man over there is Mr. Todd.” Head mistress Kesler said pointing to a man in his late 50s.
“Hi, this is my daughter Sasha Edwards and I’m Lucy Edwards.” Mum said shaking head mistress Kesler’s hand. Mum was taken to the back of the crowd into an office. I walked over to a set of coaches in one of the corners.
“Hi, I’m Bella Gorecka. Where are you from?” a girl said as I sat down. “Hi, I’m Sasha Edwards. I’m from Australia. Where are you from?” I said shifting in my seat. “I’m representing England, I actually don’t live far from here. Have you ever been to” Bella was interrupted by Head Mistress Kesler.
“Students and parents please listen up” the room fell silent.
“I’d like to welcome everyone and I hope you all enjoy your time here. We are going to read out your dorms. There will be three people to a dorm with only 4 dorms for girls and 4 dorms for boys.” Head mistress Kesler said as she hand the sheet to Mr. Todd.
“Ok, boys first. When I call your names out please come get your key.” Mr Todd said as he cleared his throat.
“Jackson Smith, room 100, green” Mr Todd said handing a short, brown head boy. “Aiden Williams, room 100, green. Liam Johnson, room 100, green” Mr Todd continue not stopping. “Lucas Jones, room 100, green. Noah Brown, room 101, green. Mason Davis, room 101, green. Ethan Miller, room 101, green” Mr Todd toke a breath. “Caden Wilson, room 101, green. Jacob Moore, room 102, green. Logan Taylor, room 102, green. Jayden Anderson, room 102, green and finally Braxton Harris, room 102, green” Mr Todd said handing out the final key.
Stepping back and handing Head mistress Kesler the paper. Now it was the girls
“Ok, girls listen up please” Head mistress Kesler said as she pushed her glass up her nose.
“Sophie Parker, room 100, blue. Emma Watson, room 100, blue. Olivia Johnson, room 100, blue. Isabella Crossley, room 100, blue. Mia Gaunt, room 101, blue” Head mistress Kessler stopped and took a breath. “Lily Scrimizzi, room 101, blue. Emily Goodger, room 101, blue. Georgia Steele, room 101, blue” Head Mistress Kesler said handing Georgia her key. “Ok last room. Chloe Robson, room 102, blue” Head mistress Kesler said as she handed a blonde haired girl her key. “Bella Gorecka, room 102, blue. Zoe Ellett, room 102, blue and last but not least Sasha Edwards, room 102, blue” I quickly ran through the crowd to get my key.
“Ok students, we will give you 30 minutes to get organised, say farewell to your parents. Once done please meet at the stables for horse assignments” Head mistress Kesler said walking into her office with Mr Todd.
“Ok honey, this is it. Time for me to go” mum said as she gave me a giant hug. Bella’s parents had left only 10 minutes ago, Chloe’s did not even come to wish her good luck and Zoe’s were leaving with mine.
“Bye mum” I said trying not to cry. After all parents had left we started to get ready for the horse assignments. “You’re not meant to unpack yet” Chloe said snapping at Zoe. Zoe ignore her and continued. “Fine then. Listen here, if you get in my way you’re gone, capuche” Chloe said storming out the door and heading towards the stables. “Elle est une vache” Zoe said, grabbing her boots. Bella and I just looked at her funny. “It’s French for she is a cow” Zoe said. We slid on our boots and headed towards the stables.
