"Rae Jackson! Please report to the Administration office immeadiately!" The intercom rang across the stables, loud and annoying.

I steered my horse over to the fence, tied her up and headed over. I ran over my recent activities in my head. Nothing I could have gotten in trouble for thats for sure. I havent made any kids cry or insulted parents or authority members since my last visit to the office.

The air conditioning froze me upon entering the building and I quickly headed back to Mrs. Smiths office. When I walked in I could not believe my eyes. Jake Sutton was sitting in one of the chairs, looking like he would really rather be somewhere else right now. The older man and woman must have been his parents I assumed.

Jake Sutton was a rising movie star, the sex object of every teen girls fantasy in the country. He mainly starred in new MTV series and some horror movies. I didnt really keep up much with TV anymore but I definitely knew who he was. And boy was he hot.

"Ah Ms. Jackson. Lets cut to the chase here. I dont like much small talk."

Lets just say she wasnt my biggest fan, but I made the barn money so she put up with me.

I nodded and leaned against the counter in between Mr. Famous and Mrs. Smith.

"Mr. Sutton's parents would like to sign Jake up for riding lessons. He has been acting a lot lately and they say he needs to escape to the country for the summer, keep his head clear. All the other instructors have students who they are working with full time. You are the only one available. If you take Jake as your only student this summer your dorm rent will be free for the duration of his training. Deal?"

I quickly processed the information and nodded eagerly. That was a sweet deal. My parents gave me money for everything else, but as a rule of this stable you had to work for your food and dorm rent.

 I hoped this kid wasnt a jerk. He was 16 like me which would make it so much easier than training a 6 year old. I dont like kids very much.

"Great. We will work out a schedule later this afternoon after Jake gets settled in. Thank you for your time Rae."

That was obviously my cue to leave so I nodded and smiled to the Suttons and left. After I left the building the full reality of the situation hit me. I would be spending my entire summer with the most famous 16 year old in the country and on top of that he was an insanely hot guy. Most girls would take this as a blessing. Its a curse to me.

See, out of all my relationships I always found out somehow that I was his rebound. He loved his ex more and I was just used as a tool to make her jealous or help him get over her. Whenever a guy was with me he was always thinking about her. While he was my top priority I was never his. And after a while it hurt. It really hurt.

So after my last and worst breakup I finally decided that I was done with guys. You could never trust them. Girls were just objects, especially me. So spending all summer with one of the hottest guys alive was not really the way Id like to spend my summer. But technically I would be making $100 a month for this so Id better buck up.

Briarwood Stables is one of the fanciest stables in Minnesota and is for a reason. We have three barns filled with stalls and tack rooms, two indoor arenas, four outdoor fenced arenas, a huge building of dorms for the more permanent residents, and everything any horse and rider could ever need.
