Me and Jenna were trotting down the trail side by side. She was talking but I was zoned

out in thoughts. Of course I had

that dumb boy stuck I my head. I don't know what's wrong with me. He's in my brain

and I can't get him out. He's not

even that cute. Ok I lied he is cute. Ok I lied again he's really really really cute. Those

brown eyes. His blond ha-. Omg.

He's a jerk. Everyone hates him. So why would I like him? It's just tha- . STOP. STOP.

STOP. STOP. STOP STOP STOP

STOP STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's taking over my brain.

" so do you want to?" Jenna asked. Shoot. She was here.

" um what again?" I asked hoping she wouldn't notice I wasn't paying attention.

" I knew it. I knew you weren't paying attention."

" sorry"

" it's fine."

When we got home it was time for lunch. Homemade macaroni and cheese. Yum! Not

that I was looking at all, but Cody

wasn't there. I was walking out to the barn when I heard something rattle. Again and

again and again. Then I heard

thump, thump, thump, thump, thump. I was scared. I bolted back to the house. Once

their, I sat down to watch a movie

with my buddies. They were watching Spirit. I love that movie. They were at the part

where Spirit was getting caught.

Blair and Jenna were on the floor crying. And the boys were getting tears on their eyes.

I watched so many time it wasn't

sad any more.

"Genevive, ho-w ar-nt you cryi-ng?" Blair managed to say over her sobs.

" watched it to many times. But trust me the first 50 times I was crying." I responded.

They laughed. It was time to head to bed when the movie was finally over.( they paused

it so many times to go get stuff

and for bathroom breaks.) when I crawled into bed I got that sensation of warmth and

comfort people sometimes get

when their tired. Just to let you know, I love that feeling. I finally didn't have any

thoughts in my head when my eyes

drifted off to sleep.

The next day went fast. Cora, Jenna,Blair and I went in town to get stuff. I bought some

cute black and neon green

riding breeches along with a matching plain neon green polo shirt. We stopped to get

super and ice cream at Dairy

Queen. I got a four piece chicken strip basket with a cone in a cup. When we got home I

ran out to the barn to give

Jigsaw and Puzzle my cone I don't like. Don't worry. The cone is ok for them. I think. It

was 7:30 when we got home and

me Blair and Jenna went on a nighttime trail ride. I have to say, it was scary. We were

walking and I heard horse hooves

behind us. I spun around but know one was their. I was spooked. I could tell Magic was

to. She was tense and jumpy

I heard the hooves come closer now. All of a sudden something or someone jumped out at us.

" aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" we all screamed.

" oh just an owl." Jenna said realized.

" who's their" a voice said behind us. Shucks. I am freaking out. I think we all are. We

turn around. Standing their was a

huge black horse with a long wavy mane. Their was a boy on the horse. I was the only

one who Recognized the horse.

" Fury???" I said. Everyone looked at me.

" how do you know who this horse is??" The voice asked.

" I watched Cody lunge and jump him at night............... Wait........,.. You can't be-" I

gasped. "Cody?"
