Galloping Hills Academy Book 1: Secrets

Chapter 4- First Day Gitters

          Katelynne, Sadie, and I walked to class together. We had finally talked Katelynne into leaving Cheyenne. Katelynne and I had our first class together, Ace.

          “Bye Sadie, see you at lunch.” Katelynne and I said.

          “Bye, good luck with your first class.” She called.

          As Katelynne and I walked silently to the foreign language and elective building I admired the view. I had told Ed to find me at lunch so we could sit together and he had agreed. We walked into the building and found our classroom. There weren’t very many people in there yet so we took our seats in the back. The classroom started filling up and I took out my baby blue Iphone.

          Wats ur first class  

          I sent it to Ed. Katelynne looked over with a giant smile on her face.

          “Sadie likes Edward, she thinks he’s cute.” Katelynne said

          “I know, she told me.” I said unhappily.

          Ed:Civics

          Just then the teacher walked in, Mrs.Edin

          “Good morning class, I’m going to take role and then we’ll get started.”

          I half way zoned out waiting for her to call my name. That class flew by and so did the next, before I new it, it was lunch time. I found Katelynne and Sadie and walked to the lunch line. I got chicken and rice, a bowl of grapes, and a piece of chocolate pie. We found a table with two people sitting there, I guess they new that we lived in Cedarspring because they waved us over.

          “Hi, I’m Natalie.” I said introducing myself, Katelynne and Sadie also introduced themselves.

          “Hi, I’m Penelope and this is Quinn. We ride too, our horses names are Vincent and Cathargo. We saw you guys at the barn yesterday, I’m glad your horse is feeling better. I think they should warn the riders about that because riders freak out a lot.”

          “Yeah that is a good idea. So how many years have you been at Galloping Hills?” Sadie asked.

          “I have been here for a year and this is Quinn’s first year.”

          We sat in silence for a few minutes and ate then started talking about the riding program here and our horses. We finished our lunches then Sadie, Katelynne, and I headed to the barn.

          “Oh-my-gosh, I am so nervous about our lesson this afternoon.” I confessed.

          “Me too.” Sadie said

          “Me three.” Katelynne said

          We walked into the stable and Katelynne and I walked down the aisle towards our horses stalls since they were right next to each other. We had twelve minutes until we had to be at our next class.  

          “Hey boy.” I cooed

          He nuzzled my arm and I gave him a kiss on his muzzle.

          “Look what I have boy.” I reached into my pocket and pulled out two peppermints. He ate them like he hadn’t eaten in days. I said goodbye to him and walked out of his stall, closing it behind me.

          “Katelynne, you ready to go? We only have eight minutes before our next class.”

          “Yeah I’m coming.”
