I'm Abbie, well, Abigail but I go by Abbie. I am an orphan and I have been one all 14 years of my life. I'm so happy I get to see one of my horses again today for lessons. My horses name is 'Once upon a Dream'. She is a rare gray thoroughbred. Also the bad part of today I found out I have cancer. My room is dedicated to my horses. I often just sit in there and think about my life. I know what you're thinking. She wants this and she wants that. No actually I was thinking about how lucky I am. I know that sounds weird coming from an orphan but it's true. Before I go into why let me just say I served in the army from ages 5-10. When I was 10 I was in an explosion and I was one of the few who survived. I'm so grateful the only problem is that I was exposed to hazardous radio active materials and that's what caused my cancer. This is a different story I'll come back to in a while. "Abigail" that's Ms. Amy, the care taker here. This is not like Annie where she's mean. Ms. Amy is really nice. As I skipped down about half of the stairs I noticed a cute family waiting. I stopped and looked at my clothes. That's when realized I was already in my riding outfit. I was so embarrassed that I just stood there. I guess I fell down the rest of the stairs because the boy came rushing over and asked "whoa are you alright?" I just stood up and got in line. About 2 minutes later I fell to the ground and everything was black. I woke up and everyone was around me asking me questions. "I'm alright" I said trying to avoid eye contact. I ran up stairs grabbed my helmet and rushed out of this hell hole. I was getting into my silver 1976 fiat spider 2000 when I felt a headache coming on. I drove to lessons at Pine Hollow. I got 'Once Upon A Dream' tacked up and headed for the jumping ring. It was Carols turn to go when I noticed the same family that was at the orphanage walking over. "Oh no" I mumbled. "what?" Asked Stephanie. "Oh those people were at my orphanage earlier and I made a fool of myself in front of them" I said. "Oh" she said back. "Abbie it's your turn" said Max our instructor. I got Once Upon A Dream all lined up for the first jump she was so good. I made it all the way through to the last jump, the highest one, I was the only one to make it so far today, and that's when Veronica's pager went of. it was to late to swerve and miss. I was doomed. Once Upon A Dream swerved but I fell off and flew over the jump. I was in so much pain and I was dizzy I almost passed out again. everyone came rushing over people were calling 911 and all I could do was lay there. That's when everything went black. I woke up in the hospital and they said that when I passed out the first time it was because of the cancer but, the second time my brain was twisted. Apparently I'm lucky that happened because they were able to pull out the cancer. The only downside is that I'm now balled. I don't care. The family from earlier introduced them selfs as the Newman's. The boys name was Austin. They said that they were adopting me and that they were already getting my stuff packed. I was so happy I just wanted to hug them but I couldn't move. Wait I can't move. Oh I'm in a leg cast and a wrist cast. oh well. "wait" I said worried "what about my horses?" "Oh them. we're getting them trucked down to Missouri when we fly and we're having your car towed there to" "oh thank god" I said more than relived. "But only on one condition... that you teach Austin how to ride." "Yes" I said. "What?" Asked Mrs. Newman. "Oh nothing I have just loved teaching people to ride" I said calmly.

I'm in Missouri now. Today is my first day of school. I'm on crutches but Austin kindly offered to carry my books. yes I'm 13 and in almost every one of Austin's classes the only difference is that I'm in AP math. By the way I skipped two years of school. Austin introduced me to all of his friends but one stuck out the most to me. His name is Triston Tyler. After school he came to our house to study with Austin. "Where are you going?" Triston asked me. "Oh I'm going to the stables to groom my horses." I said as if no big deal. He just nodded as I walked out. Yes walked. I got my cast of yesterday but, I have to wear a boot.
