Living with the enemy

Chapter Two

"WHAT!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. This what not good news at all. Why there. I rather die than stay there. "Sasha, Calm down!" My dad says to me, not happy at my response. "Calm down? Don't you dare tell me to calm down. You are making me stay with the one person that I hate." I say, sitting back down, feeling a little bit calmer. But I wasn't 100% happy about this. Why couldn't speak to this about me?! "That's exactly why we have arranged for you to stay there. So you and Nicole can speak and try to get along. Even her parents agree." Mum says, in a soft tone, trying to calm down. "There not even her real parents." I yell, not thinking about what I was saying. As soon as they were out, I regretted it. Mum and Dad have told me to say such words about that. That I shouldn't use that as an excuse or to be mean towards that person. The one thing that always bug me though, is that her parents last name was Parker but her last name was Allen. Guess she chose to keep her real last name. "What did you just say?" My dad ask me, anger in his tone. This snapped me out of my thoughts. All of a sudden I feel guilty. "Sorry Dad. I never meant to say that. I was just mad and wasn't thinking properly." I said, looking down. "Go to your room and get ready for dinner. Mr and Mrs Parker are coming over, along with Nicole." My dad said in a harsh tone. I know he was mad at my choice of words. I nodded and walked out of the lounge room into my bedroom. Once I was in there, I let out a shaky breathe. Nicole was going to be here tonight, therefore she will want to look in my room. I walk over to me dressing table and pick up a necklace. It had a horse charm on it and beside the charm it worte 'Charm'. This was to represent my horse, Charm. My mum got it for me when Charm was born. I slip it around my neck and do it up. Then I set to get ready for tonight, I want to look my best. Especially if Nicole will be here.

It was now 6:00pm. I was wearing a pair of bling jeans, my favorite pair. I had one of my good shirts on. I only wear them when I am barrel racing and pole bending. But tonight, I wanted to look my best, so I thought I wear one. I had one a purple one. It had swirls on the back across the top. On the front above the left pocket was my name. Beside it was a logo type thing of a rider barrel racing. It had glitter were the black lines went. It was really nice and my favourite one. I walk out of my room. I walk to the dining area and saw that everybody was here, including Nicole. When they saw me, they all smile. "Hello." I said with a big smile, while taking my seat at the table. Mind you, it was beside Nicole. Great. Nicole looks at me. "Hey" She say softly. I smile back and murmur a Hi. After we had a little talk, discussing where I would stay, what stall number Charm will be staying in and going over the rules. Charm is not going to like it there. He has to go into his stall at night time, meaning he can't run around and enjoy the night sky. I tried to them to let me leave Charm stay in a paddock, but it goes against their 'rules'. I found some of there rules a bit silly. One that I hated the most is that we have to be in bed by 10:00. It is school holidays, this is my time. This is when I get to stay up late and sleep in. Oh, did I mention that we have to get up at 6:30? Stupid. My usual wake up time is 7:00. I will be getting up half an hour early. Guess I'll just have to learn to survive.

We have just finished desert and the Parkers are getting ready to leave. After our little talk, we ate in silence. Only Mr Parker and Dad were the ones talking. Nicole tried to talk to me, but she was only doing it because of her my mom. My mum shot me daggers when I first ignored her, so I had to try and make a small conversion. It wasn't easy. She went one about her new horse. How she can barrel race, pole bend and do jumping. So I turned to face, sigh of hearing about her horse and simply said, "So can Charm. He also does reining and can do dressage if I wanted to do it. But I think dressage is stupid, so I don't bother doing it." She was quite shocked at this and shut her mouth. That was the end of that conversation. I waved good bye to them and turned to mum and dad. "Well, I'm going to head of to bed. Got a big day tomorrow. Gotta pack my bag and pack Charm his bag as well." I said, yawning half way through my sentence. Mum and dad smiled at me. We said goodnight, gave each other a hug and I went on to my bedroom. I put some pjs of and laid onto my bed, pulling my blankets up. As soon as I was comfortable I felled asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I stirred in my sleep and woke up. It was 1:00 in the morning and I could hear thunder. There was a storm coming in. Thank goodness I choosed tomorrow to start packing my bags. I lift my blankets of me and walk out of my bedroom. I walk to the kitchen and over to the fire. I grabbed some chocolate milk and a cookie. I sit on the bar stool and drank my milk and ate my cookie. After I finished rinsing my cup out, I head back to bed. I pulled my blankets over me and drifted of to sleep again.
