Troubled

Chapter 3: Champion in the Making

I was let out of class early I didn't know why, all the teacher said was to go to the barn. I walked to the barn to find Mrs. Loise waiting for me. She had a halter at hand. I walked up to her she handed it to me.

"Go get your horse." She said.

I walked to Magic's stall, unhooked the latch and opened it. I slipped the halter onto his being bold head. I lead him out of the stall into the aisle. Mrs. Loise taught me how to tack him up. He stood very still for me.

We walked into the arena, Mrs. Loise clipped on a long rope to his bridle.

"Marcus this is called a lunge line it will help you learn how to ride."

I nodded. She gave me a leg up, Magic felt so tall!

She taught me how to hold the reins, sit in the saddle, walk and trot! It was so much fun!

"Marcus you're a natural!"

"I never knew that horses could be so much fun!"

"Maybe next lesson you can do little jumps and canter?"

"That would be awesome!"

"When you can ride a bit better you can join the group classes"

"Ok"

I dismounted and lead Magic back to the barn.

I wrapped my arms around his soft neck.

"You such a good horse" I whispered to him.

He blew a soft breath on the back of my neck, it was as if he understood me. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the moment.

I opened my eyes and started to untack him. I squirted his back down and brushed him off. I went and put him in the small grass paddock, and went to clean his stall.

I walked into the stall and started mucking it out, all of a sudden I felt a hand on my shoulder, it flicked me around quickly and I couldn't see who it was but they started kissing me. ON THE LIPS! I was defiantly a girl. I pushed her off, it was the girl who was trying to talk to me all day. One of the "HOTTEST" girls said all the guys.

"WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING" I yelled at her.

"You know you loved it" she said in a sexy voice.

"I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU!"

"You don't need to, come here."

"I think you should leave."

"What did you say" She raised her eye brow.

"LEAVE!"

"Fine I'll leave. But I'll make you love me."

"No chance"

She walked away and I finished mucking Magic's stall, I brought him in and put he's stable blanket on.

"Goodnight Magic" I gave him a kiss in the middle of his head.

I shut the stall door and walked to the Dinner room, again it had a wide range of food to offer and again all the girls came to me and sat at my table but this time some of Quinn's friends sat next to me, just so they could hang out with the girls. The guys were nice which was pretty good because I made friends with them.
