It all happened in a blink of an eye. I had unloaded all my stuff and my parents were now gone.
I looked at my dorm. When you walked in, you saw a huge window in the middle of the room on the far wall. On each side sat a bunk bed with a desk under each. There was a dresser at the end of each bed, sitting against the wall. On the left was a door to a bathroom, closest to the entrance door, and on the right was a walk in closet.
The walls were a nice shade of easy light grey, and the carpet was plushy and stark white. I made my way to the bed on the left. Placing my white and blue chevron bed set on it, I played some country music. All of my decorations were horse or blue and white. I hoped my roommate wouldn't be mad. I hung up some pictures of Keller and a large picture of my barn.

I had left the best barn, and I missed it with every second. It had all my friends, and memories. I dismissed the thoughts so I wouldn't cry.

I started unpacking my bathroom supplies and took my clothes out and placed then according to season. Before I knew it, I had put everything away. I went to my desk and put my MacBook down and went to my schedule.

1- ELA Exell. 9:05- 10:05
2- Chemistry 10:10-11:10
LUNCH. 11:15- 12:00
3- Geometry Hon. 12:05- 1:05
4- world history 1:10-2:10
STUDY HALL. 2:10- 3:00

I loved my schedule, it was perfect.
We were to be out of the cafeteria in the morning by 9:00. That would have me at the cafeteria at 9:40 and up at 8:20. I searched around and pulled out my packet and went over everything.
Tryouts for teams in a week.
I had to get Keller and I ready for this new work schedule. I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the door knob twist.

I held my breath, I don't have a clue who this girl would be. Was she mean? Nice? Weird? Rude? Would she be mad I unpacked?

Before I could do anything, the door opened up to a medium height girl. She had long straight jet black hair, and dark warm blueberry eyes. She had perfect skin, and was about 5'3, around my height. Her long finger nails were French manicured. She carried two duffel bags, with five large suitcases behind her.

"Hi! I'm Scarlet!" She smiled. She had on a grey polo along with bright purple breeches and paddock boots.

"Hey, I'm Ella Grace, you can call me El. Here, il help you." I hopped off the chair and grabbed some of her bags.

Soon enough we had them all in.

"I'm going to unpack, want to talk as I do so?" She asked

"Uh yea!" I went to my chair and swiveled it around.

"So I came here for riding, and I guess you too?" I laughed

"Yea, Iv been riding for some time now! About let's see, 8 years now?"

"Wow!" I replied. "Same here, there's my horse" I said motioning to the pictures of Keller.

"His names Keller. He's my pride and joy" I quickly filled her up on everything about him.

"Wow! He's amazing! Iv got a gelding too! He's a hanoverian gelding. His name is Puzzle Me Royal, or just Royal." She showed me a picture of a gorgeous chestnut with a thick white stripe down his nose and tall white socks reaching his knees.

"Oh my gosh! He's flawless! How old is he?" I gasped

"He's only seven, I got him about a year ago. So it's not been that long" she explained.

We finished unpacking and talking before heading to the cafeteria for lunch at about 1:30. I had a feeling we would be great friends.
