"Mom, I'm home!" I called, closing the door behind me.
"Where were you?" Demanded my mother, "You didn't answer your phone." I blushed, then shifted my feet slowly
"I couldn't bring my phone in the arena.. Especially around the horses.." I said, timidly. My mother's eyes bulged open, my father's mouth fell open. I slightly sighed.
"Horses? You were riding?" Asked my father. I nodded, "Yea.. I never realized how much fun it was, until I tried it again..." I whispered. My dad narrowed his eyes, "Uh.." My mom muttered.
"School applications, look up schools.." my dad muttered. I nodded, running up and shutting my door behind me, my light off and my blinds up. I sat own at my desk, logging into my account. I scrolled onto internet explorer, and heard a noise. It was Skype, I pulled up Skype and saw that Caroline was calling me. I picked up.
"Hey Jen!" She called. I smiled, "What school again?" I asked.
"Wintergreen Academy. Arts and there's horseback riding!" Caroline exclaimed. I nodded slowly, "I may try out.."
"For what?"
"Horse back riding." I answered. Caroline nodded slowly, "Wintergreen is a big school, transfers come in July. So if we did make it, we would go in like end of june." Caroline explained. I shrugged, scrolling up into Wintergreen Academy, and clicking the application forum. I submitted one for horseback riding, along with a clip of me riding. I stared at the Skype home screen, and messaged my mom to say I was trying out for Wintergreen.
(Time Skip)
"Please come in." Came a voice, I stepped into a small closed in room, with dim lamps and I sat down at a table.
"Welcome, to Wintergreen Academy." Said the woman, "I'm Mrs. Winter." I nodded, shaking her hand. She set out files, "Well, first things first, you haven't ridden in how long?"
"Two days.:" I answered.
"No like, competition wise."
"Three years." I answered again.
"Hmm, and you are very good at riding." Said Mrs.Winter. I nodded in agreement.
"You are accepted into Wintergreen Academy, but there is one catch, you MUST participate in other cirricular activities other than riding." She explained. I sighed, and nodded.
"You are free to go." Mrs. Winter said. I nodded and walked out and ran over to Caroline..
"Accepted." Caroline said before I could ask, I nodded as well, "Same."
