I walk out of my room and into the dining area where Olsen is waiting to walk to the stables. Dezzy walks beside me as we weave our way through the school. Students give him odd looks and some freeze in place but Dezzy seems to be doing alright. We finally reach the stables and Olsen walks over to his class. I decide to brush Dezzy before walking over to the track. I ask around about the captain of our team and am pointed towards the edge of the track where three boys stand. I clear my voice "Excuse me are any of you captain Alex Triviola?" Two boys step aside and the boy in the middle grins. "Why yes that would be me. Although the fan girls are supposed to stay off the track." I roll my eyes and continue "I'm your new racer just wanted to say hello before we started class." His smile drops a bit "A girl on my team? That's a new one are you sure you aren't with the newbies?"
I scoff and smile irritably grinding my teeth together "I am very sure that I took my courses over the summer to be on this team." He shakes his head slowly "Alrighty then who is your mount?" I smile wide anticipating their surprise and let out a low whistle "Dezzy!" Dezzy jumps over their heads and lands right in front of me. All three boys take a step back and Dezzy seems pleased with the results. Alex begins to speak but stops himself. "I'll be riding Dezzy if you have a problem with that you can take it up with Dezzy." Alex shakes his head. There was not going to be a problem at all. I smile and walk off towards the track. Dezzy and I take a few practice laps before Alex starts flying drills. We start of running laps and then take off before landing and saddling up for the day. The wind is brisk against my cheek but Dezzy try's to shield my face with his tail. I finish fixing his straps on and give him a good dusting before we take off into the sky. My hair wips behind me and my goggles keep my glasses glued to my face. I love the freeing sensation of flying with Dezzy.
The world seems to fade into an oblivion as we cruise through the clouds and jet past the other rider's pegasus. Dezzy lets out a low purr as I stroke his side while we level out in the clouds. It's serene and quiet but then suddenly I see a gray dash blow past us. A dappled pegasus is rushing back towards us and Dezzy moves to the side before getting his balance back. He holds his ground as the pegasus comes back. I shout out to the rider who's face was hidden by their wind breaker. "Hey! Watch it you are going to get someone hurt or worse injure our mounts. The rider pulls away the windbreaker to reveal Alex "Hey, no need to freak Sandy was just being a bit of a show off" I glare at hum trying to control my temper. He had endangered all of us by riding that recklessly. "Go ahead blame on Sandy why don't you. Not like you did anything to stop her." He gives me a smirk that sends shivers down my spine. I feel my lips tug upwards against my better judgement. "We should probably land Dezzy is getting tired we have been working really hard" Alex nods his head in understanding. We both begin a steady decent towards the track. When we finally hit ground I jump of so Dezzy can go to his equipment stall to rest up. I make my way over to Alex allowing my strides to relax with confidence.
He is standing in front of the barn where he was feeding Sandy. She was tall and a brilliant sight to behold. "Hey, about earlier.." he says before I can even start to speak. "I was stupid and I'm sorry." I look at him and can see the strain in his features. A look of sincere regret glimmers in his eyes. I eventually cave and say "Its alright just don't let it happen again" he lets out a sharp sigh and a grin retakes it's place on his face. "How about you let me make it up to you" he says it as if he is sure I will agree. "How so?" His grin widens "Let me take you to dinner my treat" I weigh the options in my head before finally agreeing "You know what sure why not." His grin fades and a new look appears something more intense. He shakes his head as his goofy grin returns. "Pick you up at seven" I agree and we go our separate ways. Olsen wanders over to me after he finishes up and we head back to the dorm. "Want to watch a movie later?" I look over to him sympathetically "Sorry, I have prior engagements but if you are awake when I get back I'd be happy to"
He smiles though it's not as bright as before."Yeah sure not a problem" We finally arrive and Dezy falls asleep on the couch while Olsen surfs TV channels. I hurry back to my room to change anxious about tonight's dinner plans. I go to my closet and see a mannequin holding a dress that my mother had made me. The only other dress I had besides my new black one. The dress is a beautiful hue of blue and falls down to your lower thigh. A net like clear layer outlines my collar bone and is added as a skirt that reaches to below my knees.The shoes have lovely bows and left my poorly done home manicured toes exposed.

Sorry this chapter was so short guys. I've been trying to right a longer version but it's just not coming to me so this is what I have. I promise the next chapter will be much longer and in more detail. How do you like my new format is it easier to read?
