Dancing in the dark

Chapter 5

Emily was soaking and cold, she didn't know what the time was. She kissed star on the muzzle and went inside. She plodded up stairs and sat on her bed, she glanced at her clock 6:30, she might as well quickly go and feed the horses and turn them out.

Emily went into the horses stalls and grabbed Star, Maize and Belle feed buckets and went into the feed shack, she put some straw and horse biscuits in and dropped them in the stalls. While they were eating she went to grab there hatters, star had a gold halter Maize has a black halter and Belle had a black halter with diamond gems on it. When she returned Maize and Belle had already finished there feeds she put there halters on lead them both out to the fields, it was much smaller then her old property in Darwin, in Darwin her property had 90 acres and because the moved to outer Melbourne they only had 18. She went back to get Star and put her out, then mucked out the stalls and put hay in them again.

And went inside to have a shower, she got dressed and did her makeup, Emily didn't know why she wore makeup she wasn't a "cool kid" type of person, she just wore it. She did her hair in her usual pony tail , making sure it was perfect and then went and had breaky, she grabbed out the toast that her mum must have pre made before leaving early that morning  and started shoving it in her mouth. She packed lunch today, because yesterday when she got lunch it was the grossest thing she had ever had. But that's high school lunch for you.

She tied her shoes had walked out the door, it was only 8:00 so school didn't start for another hour needed to make a stop before she got there.

She walked into the deli not looking at the person behind the counter who said hi. She stalked over to the daily newspaper section and saw the beautiful face of her friend Grace Jones on the front page.

A tear ran down Emily's soft delicate face, she picked up the paper and took it to the front desk. The old looking lady smiled at her but Emily just looked down and shoved the $3.50 onto the counter. As Emily walked out of the shop, she bumped into someone walking out the door, it was the orange hair boy from school. She looked at him, he was saying something probably like sorry or please forgive me or some rubbish like that while she just ran out the door. She ran all the way until she was a block away from school, she sat outside the edge of the forest on a old cracked cement bench.

It was peaceful there, the bench was just behind some trees and out off sight. But before Emily knew it she had to move on it was 9:50 and Emily thought she better get to school.

Homeroom was just as horrid as usual, lucky it was over quickly. She walked into her English class and glanced around she saw the orange haired boy from before and quickly looked away.

Finally it was lunch. As usual Emily tried to find a quite place where no one could find her, but as per usual that was quite hard. Finally she found somewhere and sat. She was dosing off when she heard footsteps, abruptly she looked up to was the orange hair boy " I saw you though the bushes and thought you might want some company" he said quietly. " well I don't need your company " she said aloud, looking angry and disgruntled. "What's up with you, your a mysterious girl aren't you" " what makes you think that" replied Emily quickly. But when she looked up the orange hair boy was gone. "Hello..." Muttered Emily. Where is he gone Emily thought just thinking it was nice talking to someone for a while.

She walked home that evening and quickly raced out to get her horse " hello star, how are you this afternoon" she said as she let herself into the paddock. Star nickered softy. "We are gonna tack you up and give you a trail ride".

Once star was tacked up. Emily opened the gate and rode onto the road. She trotted up until she got to where she had sat that morning. She made an abrupt turn and almost sent star flying. She cantered into the middle of the forest urging star on. Emily screamed "WHY STAR DID WE HAVE TO MORE HERE" it was as if star heard her sad whispers after the yell and stopped. Emily leaned down to hug Star.

Emily was just about to turn back when she heard footprints, a memory of a warning private property sign flashed back into her memory. Shit Emily thought. She just waited until she heard a voice
