Finally school got out and I know what I need to do before homework and my friends. I walk into the stable and brush Rebels nose. at least I can look at him. I texted my mom and told her to fire Daniel for doing some things. I won't tell her he asked me out and cheated on me the same day just as a joke. I grab my plum saddle pad I use for practices, my saddle, and my reins. I set them on the stall door and my hand rests on the lock. Just open it and get on. I pull open the stall door and see Rebel with his head stuffed in his hay net.
"hey boy.." I whisper. Rebel lifts his head and walks up to me. I step back after what happened the first time, but stop. he was just spooked. Rebel nuzzles my arm and I smile. I brushed him a while ago and he didn't do anything. I shouldn't be scared. I brush him down and tack up. I lead him to the big circle arena we have outside and stop him at the mounting block. just get on! I yell at myself. I hop on and feel butterflies in my stomach. My head feels dizzy and I can feel the thrill of falling. I grip Rebels mane and open my eyes to see I'm still mounted on his back. I sit up straighter and take a deep breath. that's it, I made it this far. I slide off the saddle and lead Rebel back to his stall. I untack him and brush him. I walk back inside and open the fridge.
