A woman answered the phone. We went into this large conversation of the most recent brumby catch and she mentioned how it was constantly sabotaged by some girl. "That's terrible." I told the lady. She had no idea it was me who tried to ruin the herding. "So if you would like to see our most recent brumbies then I could book you in. I only need to ask you a few questions. First, are you wanting brumbies because you work for a wild horse selling business?" She asked.
"No." I answered.
"Why would you like our brumbies?" She continued. I had no idea what to say.
"I would like to domesticate them myself." I replied.
"What sort of business do you work in?" The woman questioned. I'm only thirteen! What am I supposed to say. "Small wildlife rescue." I mumbled. She managed to understand what I said. I said that because I used to take care of lizards and birds that were injured and mum works for an animal protection group. "Ok. Have you ever worked with wild or out of control horses?" She asked.
"Yes." I answered. I was able to care for Kiandra and I had horses with weird personalities when I was little. "Ok. I won't go into detail with that question. I can book you in for tomorrow if you want to see the brumbies. Our times are 12:30pm, 1:45pm or 3:00pm."
Mum heard the times. She whispered 12:30. I nodded. "12:30 should be ok." I replied.
"Ok, 12:30pm. Our address is 53 Catchers way as it should say on our website. Can I please have your name?" She requested. I told her my mum's name.
"Thank you. Goodbye."
I hung up and looked at mum. "We may need to visit Hailey." I told her. She looked very confused. "I can't have anyone there recognise me and Hailey can use her weird make up skills to help with that." I explained. "If you need her help then I'm not stopping you. Just ring her and tell her to have her make up ready." Mum laughed then left.
I grabbed my phone and rang Hailey. "Sorry, Skye, Hailey can't get to the phone so please leave a 60 second message." She joked when she picked up the phone.
"Wow. I would be more sarcastic but this is important." I told her.
"You? You never need to say anything important. You always make jokes." Hailey teased sarcastically.
"Come on. I need you to be ready with your make up kit at your house by 10:30 tomorrow morning." I continued.
"Are you asking me to do your make up?" Hailey asked.
"Yes. Try and get something to make me look like someone completely different but also make sure that I you can't tell I'm wearing make up." I explained. "Ok but why?" She questioned.
"I can't really explain. Just trust me." I replied. "Goodbye Hailey."
"See you."
