Y/n Pov:

I sighed as the sun started to rise. I knew Ciara had already left work. Ciara is my roommate I've known her since I was 10 and she was 13  and now were 16 and 19 and living together. I drag myself out of bed and stumble towards the kitchen. I scan the fridge to see if there are any left overs that I can eat for breakfast. I quickly spotted the fruit salad I had made last night. I was making Ciara some food for her lunch and accidentally made two batches. I grab a fork and sit down on one of the black bar stools. I glance at the clock. 6:04 AM. I finished the fruit salad and placed the bowl and fork into the dishwasher. I pick up my phone from off the counter. No notifications, which makes sense for a Sunday morning. Tomorrow would be my first day at Truham. Even though I'm a female I got the school to allow me because I hated Higgs with every bone in my body. I put down my phone as I feel something rub against my bare skin.  "Hi Ghost" I say to the brown cat at the feet. I reach down and stroke her back a couple of times before walking away. Ding! I pick up my phone once again to see a reminder. I have to stop by Ciara's work later. She wanted me to learn how to coach some of the younger kids. I walk back into my room and sat on my unmade bed. I was grateful for Ciara. My dad was never around when I was growing up and my mom died last year. I never met any other family members and had no where to go. Ciara invited me to live with her and she helped me find a job coaching kids. My thoughts quickly dart to what's gonna happen tomorrow. I was more than nervous. What if it's even worse than Higgs? What if I'm hated? What if no one likes me? I got up and off my bed and started walking towards the living room. I searched through Disney +, Netflix and YouTube but found nothing interesting.  I checked the time on my phone. 12:34 AM. I had to leave by one to get to Ciara's work on time. I quickly ran into my room grabbing my chaps, boots, breeches, gloves and helmet. I jogged to the washroom putting on my breeches and a black fitted tank top with a belt. I ran out the door and called a Uber. Once I got to the barn, Ciara greeted me and lead me to the indoor arena. There were two kids who looked about eight, were both sitting on their horses. Ciara handed me a lead rope and told me to work on some trotting with one of the kids. "Hi!" the kid said with a happy tone. "Hello!" I replied sweetly. "So should I post trot coach..?" the girl asked. "My name is Y/n, and if you want to!" I said kindly. I started to walk leading the horse. "Whenever you're ready, give a big squeeze and say trot" I told her. "Trrrrot" she said as the horse started to pick up its pace. I jogged beside still holding the lead rope. "Go up when you get bounced up" I told the girl looking back. "There you go!" After the lesson Ciara drove me back to our house. "So your getting really good at coaching" She said. "Really? I truly do miss comps" I said with a sad smile. "Why did you quit again? You used to be so good at riding" Ciara asked. "My mom couldn't afford it anymore" I answered looking at the ground. "Oh" She said simply before looking at her phone. "I gotta go, My mom wants me to stay at her place for a couple of nights" Ciara said in a slightly upset tone. "How long exactly?" I questioned. "Maybe about a week, if you need me to stay I will because of you starting at Truham and stuff" She ranted. "No, go ahead!" I smiled. "Thank you Y/n" She replied. "Bye Ciara! I'll miss you" I said with a pouty face standing at the door watching her walk to her car. "Bye! Call me if you need me" She yelled as she opened her car door. I went back inside and checked the time. 4:21 PM. I sighed. I wasn't really that hungry so I decided to have a shower. I walked upstairs and got into the shower. When I was done with my basic night routine I checked my phone. No messages. I didn't really have any friends. Growing up I just wasn't good at talking to people and it definitely affected my friendships.  I stared at my lock screen. It was a photo from when me and Ciara when we first met in a horseback riding camp. I'm sitting on a horse and Ciara and standing beside the horse. I smile at the memory, she was the first and only friend I've ever made. I check the time once again. 10:54 PM. I realize how long I've been going through useless thoughts. I put my phone on my night stand and shut off my lamp. I rolled over and closed my eyes as Ghost started to purr at the end of the bed. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

A/N: 

This probably won't get many views but I'm mostly writing because it's something I enjoy doing! I apologize if you do not know anything about horseback riding just try your best to go along with it. I only added it because I feel like it makes Y/n a more unique character.  If you have any requests on what I should add to this story, feel free to let me know! I'm very open to new ideas. Have an amazing night/day! You're loved!<3
