"Your homework tonight is to write a five paragraph mini essay about your favorite thing, and read chapter 2" Spoke Mr.Quen, my ELA teacher.
I had just gone through an exciting class of reading our first book, Black Beauty! Now I had chemistry with Scarlet.
Walking to my next class, I saw Logan. He spotted me with his killer eyes and walked over to me. His dark wash jeans and rust colored v- neck shirt made him look effortlessly adorable. Sending a lop sided grin my way, I grinned at the sight of him.

"Hey, what class next?" He asked once he fell into step with me.

"Chemistry." I replied with a grimace.

"Same here! So I heard about Keller" Logan with a frown. We walked in the full hallways, and I saw girls staring at him. It only made me want to claim him as mine. I guess I was jealous? No, I'm not getting jealous, I don't even want a boy friend! Gosh El, get your self together!

"Yea, so Mr. Odell said that we have to figure something out. I can't ride his stallion because he's so amazing, he's above what I can do. So I just might not even try out. But I feel so bad! I'm so stupid-" I ranted on.

"No, don't ever say that. No one is stupid. Ever" he interrupted sternly.

"Ok." I quietly replied.

"Why don't you use Magic? She's really great! She's sweet and willing! She would like you because your such a great rider. I know it's not your big boy with such a long stride, but it would be enough to get you in the advanced team! We could talk to Mr. Odell today at the study hall and see if we can get out early and you practice on her!" He exclaimed.

"You sure?" I asked.

"Positive"

------

"That sounds like a great idea! Yes! Use Magic, and Logan can have the earliest try out in the day and you can have the last one!" Mr. Odell explained.

"Ok great!" Logan said happily, and we made our way to get her out.

School went by quickly, and I happened to only have one class of homework. Lunch, I sat with Scarlet and the twins along with Annie. Logan and I changed clothes to ride in when we had gotten to the stables.

Tacking up the mare, I saw a girl walking in with Mr. Odell's world champion stallion.

"Hate to be rude, but why do you have Mr. Odell's stallion? I'm sure he wouldn't want you working him." I remarked.

She narrowed her brown eyes and stopped the striking liver chestnut.
"I'm his daughter. Katherine."

"Oh, I'm so sorry. Oh my, I'm sorry Katherine." I apologized.

"It's ok, I'm actually going to work with this big boys gelding. I uh..." She started to trail off.

"Hey Kat!" Logan walked in and saved us from an awkward situation.

"Hey Logan! Isn't that your mare?" She asked pointing to a fully tacked Magic.

I never really noticed how sweet the mare was. She had a beautiful coat and stood perfectly still while I had tacked her up. She even lifted her feet willingly, something I should remind Keller to do.

"Yea, because of what happened to Keller, Odey said that she could use Magic for tryouts."

"Oh ok! Well il see you in the ring." She walked out, her braces flashing and her blond hair swinging.

"Let's see what you've got." Logan smirked.

PLOT CHANGE! Oooooh! What do you think? I know it's not all that exciting, and I'm really sorry 😭 it's just a filler for the try outs and everything.
