I was sitting at the super table waiting for the spoon so I could scoop some chicken
noodle soup into my bowl.
" oh look who it is" went a cold voice as the door opened. Cody. Ugh. He follows me
everywhere. Well I guess he does live here to. Dang.
" it is chic- " he started again
" stop right their Cody." Cora interrupted him." Genevive doesn't like it so if you do it
again you know your consequences."
" fine" he mumbled as he sat down defeated. " I'll just mind my own boring business."
Cody glared at his empty bowl of soup the whole super until everyone, including Cora,
left the house to do chores.
I learned how to muck out stalls and how to bring in and feed the horses. We each got
assigned a day of the week to do chores. Blair and I got Friday. I was happy I wasn't
with Cody. I wonder when he does them. Or is he to irresponsible to do them. No one
got assigned Saturday so I figured Cora did them that day. We got to say goodbye to our
horses before heading off to bed. Blair and I each had our own tub and changing room
in the bathroom so we filled our tubs with tons of bubbles and took a bath in our
swimsuits. I was wearing my new swimsuit Blair picked out for me before I got here. It
was light blue bikini with neon pink and green stars. We talked and listened the radio.
We were in their for about two hours, so our skin was full of wrinkles. After our hair
dried we French braided each other's hair. When we finally crawled into bed it was
11:35 AM.
I awoke suddenly. I had a nightmare. I was gasping for breath when I realized the barn.
light was on. I remember Cora turning the light off earlier though. I decided to go check
out why I was on. I slipped pajama pants over the spandex shorts I was wearing and put
on my robe. I quietly slipped out of the room and down the hallway.
When I got outside I ran to the barn. It felt nice to get some fresh air. I opened the barn
door so I could fit through and continued to follow the light. I turned the corner to find
someone in the arena lounging the a horse I didn't recognize.And guess who it was. Yep.
My enemy. The one and only. Cody.
He looked different than he did earlier. I almost feel bad for him. Now that I looked
closer he looked horrible. Like really horrible. His eyes were red and puffy. He was
making the horse gallop around him. I looked closer at the horse now. Oh my gosh. It
was magnificent. It's head was arched. It was a Friesian. It had super long shiny wavy
black mane. It's feathers flew with the wind. It took my breath away. Cody dropped the
whip he was using and All of a sudden the horse started to buck violently and bear its
teeth. It started to rear. It kept charging Cody. My heart was pounding, but I don't
know why. Cody bent down to pick something up. The whip. Cody snapped it in the air
behind the horse and yelled " NO!!!!" The horse froze and walked up to Cody calmly.
"good boy Fury" he mumbled.
Wow.
