Riding Horses With ONE DIRECTION?!

~ C H A P T E R F I F T E E N ~

We sat there talking for a while. I then realized that there were 40 minutes until the show. "Gotta go, you all should find seats soon!" I then skipped off. I walked into the barn and hurridley brushed Renegade. he looked nice and shiny by the time I was done. I quickly tacked him up and walked into the warm up arena. After I warmed him up, it was five minutes until my turn. I trotted him to the starting gate. The crowd was huge and I was nervous. I strapped my hat onto my head, my hands shaking. I stood behind the line of people. Before I knew it, it was my turn. I stood at the gate, super nervous. Renegade was dancing around, ready to run.

I then shot out of the gate.

I turned around the first barrel, Renegade acting as if he was going 100 mph. I then rounded the second. Renegade flew towards the third. I rounded it off quickly, now entering my favorite part. The run for home. I always felt as if the horse was flying. I didn't have a care in the world when I did this. Renegade flew out of the arena. I sat deep in the saddle, forcing him to slow down.

"Ariana Golding with a time of 10.5 seconds! Her new record!" I heard the loudspeaker say. I sat tall in pride. I walked Renegade over to the washing station. He was glistening with sweat. I pulled off the saddle and handed it to a stablehand. I pulled off his bridle and put on his halter, tying him up. I gave him a nice wash and left him to dry. The boys came out of no where and gave me a massive hug. I smiled a bit, then pushed them all away.

"You were one second off from the record!" I heard Anna say from behind me.

"I know." I muttered. She sighed and walked off.

The rest of the day was spent walking around and looking at the other horses. Finally, after what seemed like hours, the contestants were called to the waiting area. I walked into the barn and hopped on Renegade bareback. I rode him out of the barn and squeezed my way into the waiting area.

"Third Place is..."

"Second Place is..."

"And the overall champion is..." I felt myself tingle on the inside. I was so nervous I felt as if I was about to vomit. "Ariana Golding!" I smiled and cantered out into the arena. I did a little victory lap and did a sliding stop. I was handed a medal which I hung around my neck. Renegade's neck was decorated with a neck thing made of roses. I smiled and waved to the crowd. I took the champion ribbon and held it up in the air. After about thirty seconds, I was excused from the arena. I cantered out and slowed Ren down to a trot. I leaned down and gave him a kiss on his neck. He nickered softly. I then put him in his stall.

"Hello there!" a pair of arms wrapped around me from the back. I could tell it was Niall from his smell.

"Hey!" I said, pulling out of his grasp. The other boys were walking towards us, a huge smile on their faces.

"Congrats Ariana!" Louis said, giving me a big hug.

"Thanks bud!" I smiled at him. The rest hugged me. I walked over to the trailer, opening up the door to it. I cleaned out Renegade's spot then went to retrieve him. I swear, Niall was following me as if he was a vulture!

I loaded Renegade in the trailer and walked into the front. I sat down on the couch. Niall sat down next to me, uncomfortably close. He glared at Harry who walked past and sat on the couch in the far back. It was silent when the ride started. Out of the blue, I heard someone fart. I started laughing, and so did Anna. I walked over to the radio and turned on the music, loud enough for everyone to hear. After five minutes, everyone was singing loudly. The driver whistled to tell us to be quiet. No sir, you be quiet.

I woke up with my head on Niall's lap, my feet on Louis's. They were both fast asleep. I looked up to see that it was dark out, but we were almost home. I slowly moved up off of the couch. Niall and Louis didn't move one bit. My feet took me to the window. It was dimly lit outside, yet I could see London in the distance. The bus slowed down and turned into the drive. It parked outside of the house. I hopped out to see the dog, Mindy. She was fat and walked like a penguin. I bet you one of the girls feeds her too much.

I patted her head and walked into the back of the trailer. Already, a couple of stablehands were unloading the horses. I walked into the mini tack room and took out my tack. I handed it to Jo, who was one of the stablehands I trust. He smiled and walked briskly off. I walked inside and headed up the stairs. I stripped off my clothes and hopped in the shower. After my shower I changed into some comfy pajamas and climbed into bed. I could hear other showers going as I fell into a deep sleep.

"Get up love!" I heard Anna's voice. I opened my eyes and looked to see her brown ones. She smiled then walked off. I climbed out of bed and grabbed my white iPhone. I sleepily walked down the stairs, plopping myself on the couch. Well, actually, plopping myself on two people. Louis screamed and Niall chuckled. A pair of arms pulled me up and put me on another couch. I mumbled something and heard laughing. I was too tired to know what I was saying. Whatever.

A plate of bacon and eggs woke me up. I opened my eyes to see a mountain of it sitting before me. Immediatly I dug in, knowing Mindy would eat it in a heartbeat. The food brought warmth to me and I loved it. I looked up to see everyone staring at me as if I was a rabid and hungry dog. Ok then...

After I got ready for the day, Niall and I walked out of the house.

"I talked to the boys. They all decided to not be rude to the Western riders anymore. Harry was reluctant, but he agreed. Will you be nice to us?" He said. A flicker of hope ignited inside of me.

"Yeah, yeah I would love to." I smiled. Ever since the boys moved here, I haved warmed up to them by the day. There are moments where I could rip their heads off, but you could say that they're chill.

"Uh, I kinda have a question to ask you." He said after a while. I could hear his heart beating. I looked at him nervously. He stopped walking and faced me. "I know I haven't known you for to long, but I really, really like you Ariana. Please, be my girlfriend?" He looked at me in the eye. I stood there shocked for a minute. The beating of his heart became louder. My mind was racing with thoughts. I searched through me trying to find and excuse to say no, but I couldn't find one. I guess that this Irish boy has really made an effect on me. He was so sweet and kind. He was charming and handsome. I looked up and him and smiled. I nodded my head, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"Phew, I was afraid you'd say no." He sighed in relief. I laughed. He looked me in the eyes, then placed a kiss on my nose. I giggled, hugging him again. I never thought I would ever date someone. I rubbed off the thought that he was in One Direction, heck, I don't care. To me, he is just and Irish boy from Mullingar.

We walked into the barn together, our hands locked together. I walked into Ren's stall, hugging his neck. "You'll always be my favorite man, Ren." I mumbled into his fur. I kissed him then walked out. I locked eyes with my boyfriend, haha, I could get used to that, and hugged him. I then walked toward the house. I smiled back at him, giggling. Well, this day was eventful!

CONGRATS TO EVERYONE WHO SHIPPED NARNIA.

BYE MY LOVIES!
