Behind A Horses Eyes

-Linda's POV-

I feel like the worst person ever. How could I hurt such a beautiful creature?

Moon was everything to me. I am a horrible person.

So as I go down to see him in his field tears pour down my cheeks. I brush them away and stand at the fence.

'Oh Moon, I'm so sorry. I've seen the errors of my ways now. Please, just come to the fence? I promise I will never ever hurt you again. Moon, please?' I beg. The grey horse stays where he is, ears plastered against his head.

I hear footsteps behind me. And a voice. It's not Nicki or Cassia. It's a man. Daddy? Could it be? My dad home?

'Dad?' I call out into the darkness of the night.

'Not your dad, sorry love. Uh.... Miss Mc Doyle?' the voice says.

'Yes?' I am worried. What if he's come to steal my horses? To murder me?

A policeman steps into the light.

'You're under arrest for animal cruelty...'

-Cassia's POV-

I wake up on Tuesday morning, my head throbbing. I feel bad about telling the police about Linda. But I couldn't bear it. And now Nicki will hate me even more and were supposed to go to the show. Oh crap.

'Cassia? Wake up, you've got schooooooooool!' my mum sings.

The journey to school is much worse. I'm so busy worrying that I manage to bump into a lady who gives me a lecture about staying up all night and she blames typical parents. I'm glad I shoved her. At the school gate I see Angel on her own and smile at her. Not a nice smile.

'Why are you smiling like a clown?' she scowls.

'I have my reasons,' I say, walking up to her, 'And one of them include I want my phone,'

She smiles back.

'Oh really? How much will you pay?'

'I'm not paying,'

'So I'm keeping your phone then, right?'

'Okay.'

'Fine,'

'Ill just post the vid of you having a breakdown on Youtube,' I smile. She stiffens and chucks me the phone before walking away. That was easy.

-Angel's POV-

I am not having a very good day.

Cassia made me give her the damn phone and that was after she spotted me alone hanging around the gate. I was also EARLY. What kind of geek is early? I'm not supposed to be. It was those last words that were the worst though.

'I'll just post that vid of you having a breakdown on YouTube,' she smiled. I stiffened and chucked her the phone before walking away.

After the first class I met up with Jess and Amy in the hallway and we talked about Amy's Science partner, Emma.

'Has she still got her braces? And those weird plaits?' Jess asks. Amy raises her eyesbrows.

'Braces? Plaits? Have you seen her since eighth grade? She's got PURPLE hair and pearly teeth. Dyed hair, I suppose,' I sigh at Amy's answer.

'So is she nice?' I asked.

'Shes okay. Just a little bit geeky still. I can work on that. Anyway, see ya guys,' Amy rushes off to class leaving Jess and I still walking.

'Can I please borrow Cassia's phone?' Jess asks. I bite my lip.

'Umm... I sorta... Gave it back.' I whisper. Jess shrugs.

'Okay,' she says before waving and rushing to class.
