My eyes grew big and i stuttered, " Umm...haha..you know the usual when your..umm..grounded." My mom eyed me and sighed, "Do you have something to tell me..Rowin?" I shook my head thinking that would please her but it didn't. "Riiiiight...i'll find out sooner or later," She says. I sighed and explained," Fine. You won. I snuck out this morning at six o'clock and went over to Luke's house to ride Aslen." She nodded slowly and looked down, "I know. I figured that you did. Its okay though. You don't have to be grounded tomorrow...if your that "in love" with horses." I gasped,"Umm...wait what did you just say?" I asked her even though i already heard her, I just couldn't believe it.
" I said you dont have to be grounded tomorrow and that i'm not mad that you snuck out," She repeated. I kept watching her for any signs of smiling or smirking, but there was none. I ran upstairs and threw some clothes on then i raced back downstairs. "I guess i'll go back to their house if you don't mind,"I said. "Yea O.K see you at 6:00," She grinned. AWKWARD i thought. But when i got this kind of opportunity i took it. I raced to the woods and to the front porch of Luke's house. I didn't even have to ring the doorbell because Luke saw me running up to the porch and was ready for me to come into the living room. The night before i hadn't seen it cause of the rush i was in. But it was beautiful. It carried two couches and an odimun that matched, with an orange color. It also contained a brick fireplace and a tall painting of a woman in a dress holding a rose. Wow i thought. There was also a big fake clock hanging above the couches.
"How do you have so much mone-I mean..how..is your house so pretty?" I stuttered. I was going to ask how he had so much money, but my mom always told me it wasn't polite. So yeah that was my cover up. "Ha! I guess we just make enough money to get the things we need. And by the way, i dont think its bad that your asking how we make so much money," He said. "You dont?" I asked. "Uh-Uh. Infact i'll tell you how. Every september there is a horse race that my dad and i attend to. I'm actually one of the racers. The last three years i won the race in first place! The winner gets a total of One Hundred Thousand Dollars. So thats how," He explained. "Wow! That explains it," I said. He nodded,"Yep. And guess what. This years race we get partners to race with! I was thinking you could come and race with me." "Sure.Yes.Definitely.That would be awesome! But won't i have to practice?" I asked. "Hmmm-hummmm. Thats why we're are going outside. Cause you have to be good to be in the race."
