Boys + horses + childhood friends to lovers = one heck of a roar coaster!
When Esme's brother dies, Esme is sent to move into her child hood best friends home on a ranch. Little does she know rhat the boy she once knew isn't the same little kid that...
"Accident?" I ask confused. My mom called Kaylynn every week and never mentioned anything like that.
"At the stables he goes to" Cailyn says. "Winter-creek, the one I go to."
"What happened?" I ask. Was this apart of the reason Miles and Daniel had been so hostile toward each other yesterday?
"He was at the stables when a fire caught... he was the only one here and ran to let the horses loose. He ended up getting stuck in a stall and they found him unconscious when the fire-fighters arrived. His entire shoulder was burned. He hasn't rode since... it's nothing too serious but they say it still hurts, and it's hard to use his arm now..." she explained.
"When did this happen?" I ask.
"Last summer"Sabina says. "Right before fair."
How didn't I know this?
"So" Sabina changed the subject, "are you the newest foster kid or something?"
"Family friend" I answered.
"How long are you staying with them?" Sabina asks.
I shrugs, "depends how the school year goes." How long would I stay?

When my lunch period came up I had no idea where to go. I had to ask three teachers for directions before I found it. And even then I had no clue on what to do.
"Hey" Caylin walks up to me. "Need a place to sit?"
I nod.
"You can sit with me and my friends if you'd like" Cailyn says.
"Thanks" I say and she leads me to the lunch line where I get my food with her and pay. She then leads me to a table.
Sabina sat there by a girl with long curly blond hair. They were chatting when we walked up.

"Charlotte"Cailyn says. "This is Esme."
"Hey" Charlotte says.
"Hi" I say.
"You're the girl that moved in with the Greyson's, right?" She asks. I nod. "I'm a friend of Kethan."
"What about me?" Kethan walks up and sits by the blond.
"I was meeting Esme" she saws motioning to me.
"Hey Esme" he says.
"Hey Kethan" I say.
"So what's our game plan?" Sabina changes the subject. "We need to take down Aurora this year."
"Like we can" Charlotte says.
"What?" I ask.
"Remember the stables I was telling you about?" Cailyn ask. "Winter-creek?"
I nod.
"There's a games every year when the whole stables competes in a series of competitions." Charlotte says. "Auroras team has won every year, but we may get a chance if Miles ends up not being able to ride."
Miles.
"But Olivia backed out" Kethan says. "We need another rider."
Caitlyn's eyes light up, "Esme should join!" She turns to me. "You should totally do it! Can you ride?"
"I rode a bit as a kid... but that doesn't count" I say. By that I meant I was five following Danial and Miles on a shy pony. And we barely moved.
"She should do it!" She turns to her friends. "Teach her Kethan! You live with her anyways! This is perfect!!! Fate!"
