Hey guys thank you for reading this far and again excuse the spelling. I would like to see who y'all think would be a good fit for Samantha and clay, but will not be posting pictures of a cast because I think reading gives us an imagination. When most of the characters are revealed I will make a cast list of who they are and what they look like. Enjoy!

Samantha
The rest of the week went just as event less as Monday did. Same old same old, get in get out get away from there and to my house to my baby boy. He's a brown and white paint named thunder because he HATES thunder! I know I'm mean I named my baby after the one thing that really freaks him out.
Today is the day I have been looking forward to for a week it is Friday and that means RODEO! My parents have two rules for us to compete:
1) our grades MUST be passing.
2) the rodeos can't be on school nights.
Both of which Alex and I gladly agree to because we already get good grades and all our friends go to the Friday and Saturday rodeos anyway. I barrel race and Alex bull rides. If you recall I don't like people from school but rodeo people know and love me, I can actually be myself around them and not worry of their judgment because they are apart of the rodeo and we respect each other. I am outgoing, funny, sarcastic, and lovable when in my element at a rodeo. I have many good friends there but we don't go to the same school sadly. They all go to the school across town.
As I am driving home in my old truck I start to think where we are going and what I need to bring to the rodeo. As soon as I get to my house it's a world wind of horses, trailers, and tack for each horse. Both Alex and I load our horses and climb in dad's new ford. We take off form the house in Levelland to Lubbock, where the rodeo is, and get there in 45 minutes.
Once we pull in I see everyone's trucks together and ask daddy to park by them. Momma and daddy wish us both luck give us each a kiss and head to the gates. Looking around I see my two favorite blondes, "Baylee! shaylee! Over here!" I all but scream. They pick their heads up at the same moment and both scream, "SAM!" Then Baylee yells "get your skinny behind over here!". Shaylee and Baylee are identical twins and their mom and dad loved the name bailey but their mom hated that it spelled like the drink so their dad said ok that about bay like in the ocean and lee like your friends name? They didn't know they had twins until they both were born and they said and I quote: "what the hell we like Baylee so much why not add a shaylee!" Baylee and shaylee like it because they can switch names on teachers and have the excuse I thought you said BAYlee not SHAYlee and vise versa. Needless to say mosh of their teachers hate them for that stunt! "Where the hell have both of y'all been?" I sassily ask with my hand on my hip and everything. "Oh don't get those granny panties in a twist!" Shaylee scolds and gives me a bone crushing hug that I happily return. "Smarty pants over here," she continued pointing her thumb towards her twin. "thought it would be a good idea to start the new school year off right, but with a twist...." She then proceeded to tell me that Baylee was sick the first week of school and she had to go alone which was refreshing for her and when Baylee got better she said they should switch off going to school as "shaylee" but their parents caught them. "Wait, it's the middle of September! How long did it go on?" That's when Baylee spoke up and grinned "We didn't get caught until September, mom and dad found out and we have been grounded since." I give her a bone crushing hug that she returns and say in a baby voice "So the wardens wouldn't let y'all rodeo" playing along they nod and pout. "Well don't do dumb crap like that again! I was looking for you for three weeks at the rodeos!" We all laugh at that and get caught up while unloading our horses and getting ready to compete.
All three of us are barrel racers so we start to warm up like normal, laughing talking and goofing off when in the corner of my eye I see a guy looking our way. I pay him no mind because we always make a sene and people look at us all the time. Then as if reading my mind Baylee sits up straighter in her saddle and whispers to us, "Hey, isn't that clay looking at us over there?" Shaylee perks up at this and asks "where?". I wave it off and say "with three beautiful girls like us warming up I would think he and all the other males in this place would be staring too!" With a flip of my hair I ride towards the truck to get my lucky spurs that have been in my family for generations when I hear a soft sob in between trucks.......

Clay
The Lubbock rodeo was not high on my priority list but Ben, my best friend, bugged me until I entered it. Now that I'm here, I am glad I came, because as I got out of my truck with mom dad and grace I heard the twins from school shout "Sam" at the top of their lungs and a red headed girl sprint to them and talk like they were old friends. The red head intrigued me she was a true red head and her hair was like fire behind her as she ran. A slap on my shoulder from Ben pulled me from my thoughts. "Hey man what's up" I ask trying to avoid the fact I was watching red. He smirked at me telling me I'd been caught and all he said was "no". I give him my best 'what the hell' look and he grins and points at red saying "she is Alex grimes' little sister, you know the bull dogger? Plus she's a red headed cowgirl, piss her off and I'd be willing to guess she'd damn near explode, lastly you don't do relationships as I recall you telling Marcy" "you made your point but damn she's hot, you can tell from here" I replied. Shaking his head with a grin he said "your right she's as hot as a Texas summer but as untrainable as a mustang" with that we laugh and get ready for bull dogging. After saddling up I look around and ask Ben "hey where did mom dad and grace go?" His reply was "they had to go get their seats earlier" with that I go to warm up and stretch. As I am warming up cloud, my quarter horse that my sister named, I hear a beautiful laugh like Sunday morning church bells in the distance. God Ben would punch me right now, beautiful laugh like church bells? I'm such a loser right now, what is wrong with me? As I look where the laugh came from its Baylee and Shaylee from school and the red head, all talking and laughing. The red head looks my way and sees me looking at them, as does Baylee. They shrug it off as coincidence I guess and red rides off towards the trailers. Just then Ben rides up looking panicked, "dude what's with the face?" I say, Trying to lighten his mood. "Grace is missing" with those three words I ride off looking for my baby sister, god I hope she's ok....

I know cliffhanger! Y'all probably hate me right now for losing little grace, but read vote and comment to see what happens next. Clay seems to like Samantha's red hair and laugh; what do you think Samantha would like about clay?
