hIchapter 5

When i get home that day, i run to my room and slam the door. I plug in my head phones and unlock the iPod. As i scroll through it, i realize its not mine. I remember that i was listening to Blakes at lunch cuz i had left mine at home. I quickly change into riding clothes and grab my backpack from it. I dump my stuff out and grab my homework, computer, phone, my diary, and the old photo book. I put on Patricks old letter jacket, the one from before we moved and head for the kitchen. I grab 2 apple, a bag of chips, a box of cookies, and 2 cans of cream soda. "Mom! Im leaving, ill be back in a while!" "okay, stay safe." I go out to the barn and sadle up Stargazer and Blackberry. I go for a ride over to Emily and Blakes house. When i get there, i can hear people out in the practice field. I ride over there and see Blake and his dad with a horse, the horse doesn't want to cooperate. I jump off and tie both Stargazer and Blackberry to the fence. I jump over and slowly walk over to the horse. I have an apple and slowly offer it to him. "Good boy, such a good boy." After that he is calm. " Hey Izzy, whats up?" "Are you missing anything?" "I dont think so, why?" I pull the ipod out of my pocket, "I was listening to yours at lunch, then the fight started, which by the way, you should have helped your sister out, even if it was a girls fight, she was way out matched." His dad had been standing there the whole time we were talking. "Son, what happened, why didn't you tell me?!?" "Sorry dad, but i started chores right away." So, your the girl Blake cant shut up about." "Dad!" "Dont you have chores to do?" "Yes sir." " Isabella, stay and talk a minuet. So, how do you know horses so well?" "My dad taught me when i was young and he started the horse business." "Id like to meet him." " You cant, he and my sister died before we moved, that's actually why we are here." "You brought two horses, why?" "I was going to see if Emily wanted to go for a ride." "She has to take Maple out, could i ride your other horse?" "No, im sorry, but this was my dads horse." "Okay, hang on let me get Emily." "Em! Come here a seck." "Dad, is everything alright?" "Yes, trail ride, im riding maple and you are riding Isabells horse." We head out and i follow them. I need to get my thoughts strait. By the time we get back, i know exactly what i am going to do tomorrow. "Hey Isabell. Would you like a job training horses here? It would be after school and you would just be training them and the kids that ride." "That would be awesome. When are classes, everyday for an hour after school and three hours on the weekends, but an hour of that is a trail ride." "Okay, ill see you tomorrow, ill ride my horse from school to here."

the next day after school

*************************

I get there before the kids im teaching. There's a note on the door saying that today i should go easy. I set up all of the jumps as i know they will be in the competition. The girls get there then. They considt of Anna, Cota, Amy, and Amber. "Okay, today we are starting easy, just do what ever jumps you want. Stay out of the way of the other girls, so take turns. Im watching you, but you can do what ever you want." "that's no fun." "Amy is your name?" "Yes." "it will show me what we need to work on." They all get to work. Amber is taking her horse, glimmer over the jumps and i am watching her. She handles her horse well, but she can't do the natural elements. I hear a yell and turn to look. Amy and Anna are both off of there horses and telling at each other. "Girls, what is the problem here?" "Her dumb horse ran right in front of mine and she freaked." "Okay, one of you come with me." Anna follows me to the trail, take her out a half mile, theres a mark there, and then come back. When im done, Rich, he told me to call him that, is waiting. "How was it?" "It was fine except for when Anna and Amy got in a fight." I leave, go home and call Emily. "So how much does your brother like me?" "Alot, your all he talks about." "Okay, thanks and then i hang up. The next afternoon, the girls all cancel, so i have time off. I go home and pack a picnic dinner. I put that and a few other things in the white bag that my mom gave me and head out for a ride. I go to Blakis house and knock, "hey, can you go for a trail ride with me?" "Sure, let me grab my bag." "Okay, see you outside." We ride for a while and then we stop in a clearing and i try to find a way to break the silence. "Hey Blake, Ive got something to ask you. Will you be my boyfriend?"
