Awesome Roomate

As we unlocked the door to my room, my roommate, (I didn't know her name yet) was already there, unpacking and decorating her side of the room. When she turned around, I realised it was Khloe! Yay..
"Hey Khloe!" I said. This was great!
"Oh hey Callie, I can't believe we are actually roommates! How did we manage that?" She looked just as shocked as I was.
"I don't know, but I'm certainly glad I'm not rooming with Mandy." I had actually been really worried about that. This was the best.
My parents introduced themselves to Khloe, but then left us to go speak with Ally (again?!).
"This is really cool that we are together. Okay so we still have 1 1/2 days until school and BTW, I've learnt from previous years to do all you unpacking and decorating before school starts, because the teachers drown you with homework on the first day. So, what do you say? Unpack today and save tomorrow for decorating?" It was official, I had the best roommate ever!
"And on that sweet note, let the not - so - pleasant task of unpacking commence!"
We got to work with unpacking...urgghh! I'd brought so much stuff. My bed spread was a deep purple with silver stripes, and beside that was a picture of Bella, my family, and my black lamp. On Khloe's side of the room, she had decorated her bed with her red bed cover, and photos of her family.
"Well, the hard part's over, now for the fun part...decorating!!"
We started by putting up pink wallpaper on the walls, and then topped it off with many photos of our fave celebs and horses. We moved a small glass coffee table to the centre of the room. We filled the bathroom with all of our beauty and makeup products, and filled the cabinets with nail polish and shampoo + conditioner!
When we had finished, we stood at the doorway, judging our decorating skills...we were pretty darn good!
"I reckon we couldn't have done better if we had hired an interior decorator to do it for us! We are so good." I said.
"Yeah, I'm just glad we got it over and done with, and we did it all in the one day! So tomorrow maybe I can show you some of my favourite trails?" Khloe had just invited me to go riding with her! What?!
"Okay, that sounds fun"
"Anything sounds fun compared to the torture they give you on the first day of school!" Oh-o.......
"I'm kidding...geez! I mean, it is hard, but you get used to it by the first week." Okay...that sounded better.
Now I was actually looking forward to the first day, but right now I was more looking forward to trail riding tomorrow with Khloe! I was really curious of how things would pan out...

The next day when Khloe and I woke up, we took turns showering and then got dressed into riding clothes. Khloe slipped on gorgeous caramel breeches, and a crisp white polo shirt. I looked down at my outfit - cream breeches and my fave cherry red shirt. She looked so much better than me! Oh well.
When we reached the stable, Khloe walked halfway down the aisle, then stopped at a gorgeous dapple grey Hanoverian.
"And this, is River!" Khloe was proud of him, I could tell.
"Oh my God Khloe, he's so nice!" I said. Khloe smiled broadly.
"Isn't he? Now comon, I want to see your horse."
We walked a little further up the aisle, and came to a halt at Bella's stall.
"This is Bella Khloe." Bella, knowing this was a show off moment, pranced her way around the stall and raised her head high.
"Wow Callie, she's amazing, what breed is she?"
"She's a Quarter Horse." I said.
"Well, now we both know how beautiful each others horses, are lets get ready!" Khloe walked back down to River's stall, and started tacking up.

Two hours later, Khloe and I were back in our room after our trail ride.
"Thanks so much for showing me around, that was really fun." I said.
"That's ok, you'll really be wanting to be out there all day tomorrow, once you know what happens at school!" Why did she keep warning me about that?
"Well I should probably get some sleep before my first day of school!" I said. I was actually really tired.
"Good idea. And Callie? It's really not as bad as I was saying. It really isn't."
And on that calm note, we fell asleep under the warm glow of our lamps.
