My Dream Horse

Chapter 1

Elle's POV

I watched the clock, only ten minutes till summer vacation. This summer was gonna be way cool. On July 21st I was going to riding camp with my best friend Ariana. Suddenly, I heard my name. Oops, I had been daydreaming again. The teacher said we could have the rest of class to sign yearbooks and talk.

I found Ariana and pulled her over to a corner of the room. She asked " What is it?" irritatedly. " Do you think I should ask Nick to sign my yearbook?" I questioned. " Well, duh!" said Ariana. I told her I would and grabbed my yearbook from my desk. I had had a crush on Nick for a year now, one thing I really liked about him was that he loved horses. I walked over to Nick. " Um hey, Nick. Could you sign my yearbook?" I blushed, I always got kinda nervous around him. " Sure, and maybe we can ride together sometime this summer." Said Nick. I told him that would be great and said to have a great summer or in other words. H.A.G.S. I ran over to my friend Alexandra and asked her to sign my yearbook. We made plans to meet at the stable that afternoon and then said see you later.

Nick's POV

I was really excited for the summer. One reason was that I rode at the same stable as my crush , Elle and we were signed up for the same riding camp. The teacher announced that we could have some time to talk and sign yearbooks. I talked with my friend Jack for awhile . I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and it was Elle. I was happy but nervous that I would say the wrong thingies , I really liked her but was scared to talk to her. I wondered if she likes me back. She asked me to sign her yearbook which I did and then she signed mine. I asked her if she wanted to ride together sometime this summer and she turned red and said yes. Then she rushed over to her friend Alexandra and they started whispering about something. Girls are so weird. The reason I liked Elle was because of her horse craziness, I love horses and appreciate girls who do. She is really pretty and all but I do not really care about looks. The bell rang and I ran out of school hurrying to get to the stable.

Elle's POV

When the bell rang I waited for Alexandra and Ariana and ran out the door, we played a game where we would race to the stables every day. Alexandra usually wins, but she does track so it would be weird if she did not. I knew a new horse was arriving today and my riding teacher had said I could help unload it and get it settled in if I was there when it arrived. Today I won the race. I sat down on the bench in front of the stables and waited for my friends. Meanwhile I grabbed my stable clothes out of my bag so we could go change. I saw my friends run up to me panting. I waited for them to grab their stable clothes and we all went inside to change. I finished changing and walked out to the parking lot to wait for the new horse. I heard my phone buzz so I grabbed it and checked. It was a text from my mom saying she would pick me up at 6. Suddenly I bumped into somebody, I looked up and it was Nick. My face turned beet red and I mumbled a quick sorry before running into the parking lot. Alexandra came out. When she saw my face she immediately asked what was wrong. Ariana came out so I told both my BFFs what had happened.

Suddenly I saw a truck drive in, I ran in and got my riding teacher. I came out and then the teacher told me to unload the horse. The teacher let me do things a lot because I had been riding longer than anyone else in our group, actually longer than anyone under twenty at the stables so I was definitely experienced. I walked in the front of the trailer and gasped, the horse was a beautiful shade of gray and was wearing a red halter. It looked like it had Shetland blood, a bit of Welsh and a whole lot of Arabian. I untied the quick release knot and lead the horse out backwards. I asked the guy who had brought her what her name was. I could see that it was a mare already. The guy replied that the horses name was Poppy. Oh I loved the name and it fit her perfectly. The teacher told me I could take her to her new stall and then if we wanted to me and my friends could bring in Poppy's things.
