The Chance

chapter 4

" hop in the car!" Mom says. "Umm. I forgot my phone." I say. " go and get it! Hurry." Mom says with a smile. I ran through the front door and when I do I run past mom's office. Her computer is on. I run over and look at it. OMG. They are looking for my parents to. But why?

I go to my room and get my phone. I walk out of the house like nothing happened. I went to the car and hop in the front seat. After I put my seatbelt on mom says, " you get it?" "Yeah. " I say. Then we pull out of the drive and start down the road. "How long will the drive Be?" I ask. "Ummm. Like 30-40 minutes?" She says. "OK." I say. She doesn't reply. Are you on my phone and click on Instagram. Then I turn it off and put it in the cup holder next to Mom's coffee. I look out the window and look at all the trees. I am a huge nature person. I go out and walk in the forest in the backyard with ginger a lot. We don't have a fence. Ginger is a well-trained dog. I am tired. I leave my head against the window and close my eyes. Soon everything is silent.

"Wake up." Mom says. I yawn. And look out the window. Horse Back riding.

We walk towards a ranch when a guy, maybe my age walks towards us. "Hi. I am Peter and I will be your guide today." He says. "Mom are you coming?" I ask. "I will be behind you." She says. Okay then. Peter leads me to a beautiful Whitehorse. "This is Princess." He says. I hop on in saddle up. I have done this before. And it gets on one and Go's beside me and says, "So, you new to town?" I hesitate and say, "Yeah." "Cool. You ride a lot?" He says. Then I say, "I used to have one. She Died." "I'm sorry." He says. "What grade are you in?" I say with a smile. "I am going into 9th. You?" He says, smiling back. I look at him and say, "9th." We keep down the trail in silence when, He says, "How good can you ride?" I smile and say, "Pretty good." Then he says, "Giddy up!" And slaps my horses butt and she runs. And we run down the trail together.

"How was that?" He says in a smile. "Fun." I say. I whisper in my mind, The most fun I have had in a long time, But I dont. We go back to the ranch and saddle up the horses. "Are these your horses?" I say. "Yeah. So your mom knows my mom?" He says. I nod and hand him a piece of paper. He must know what it is cause all the does is smile and put it in his pocket. I start to walk off when he says, " I didn't catch your name." I turn around and walk backwards saying, "Addison. Calk me Addi." "Bye Addi." I smile. I turn around now laughing and walk to Mom's car. I hop in and she says, " How was it?" "Good." I say, not going into detail. And I smiled the whole way home.
