"April can you please help Spinner with his bags and show him around?" Dad asked with a pleading look.

" Umm.. look I'd love to but.... I have school." I said relieved that I found an excuse. There was no way I was going to help out this dead beat piece of meat.

"Oh don't worry about school darling you've got the day off!"

"Yeah but-" I was cut-off by a certain SOMEONE.

" Its ok Shawn, I'm not three I can help myself." Spinner left the room dragging 2 big suitcases behind him.

Dad gave me a look.

"What?"I said before walking back down the hall and out the door. I needed a trail ride.

I tacked up Custer and led him out. I was going to mount Custer when I saw Spinner on the steps of the porch.

"Hey! Spinner could you gimme a leg up?" I yelled.

Spinner got up and walked over to me.

" Alright ready? 1-2-3-go!"

Spinner basically threw me up onto Custer before Custer reared and I fell off.

"You shithead! It's not that hard! It's a leg up not damn shot put!"

I got up and dusted myself off.

"Get lost!" I yelled at him I was fuming.

Spinner shrugged and walked away. I felt really bad, his mum had just died and his new home was in the middle of nowhere and the girl that lives there told him to get lost. Good job me - note the sarcasm.

I mounted Custer by myself and kicked him into a gallop.

If felt good to get out of the ranch to clear my head. What was I going to do with Spinner, he was such a downer.

I got back to the ranch at about 3:00 to be greeted by,"April where the hell have you been?"

"Trail ride." I said bleakly

"I was worried sick!" Said dad obviously over reacting.

I ignored him and walked off I was NOT in a good mood.

I walked into the barn and found Spinner stacking feed bags, " nice ride?" He asked

"Yeah," I said surprised that he actually started a conversation, " what'd you do while I was out?"

"Unpacked some of my stuff and started stacking feed." He said shrugging.

" cool." I said uncomfortably nodding my head slowly.

By that time I'd finished untacking. " I'm go inside for lunch would you like some?"

"Nah," he said ," I've eaten."

"Kk" I said,"bye,"

"Cya."

I walked in and made a quick sandwich then took it to my room. I opened the door to my room stopped and screamed.

I ran outside ignoring the fact that my sandwich and now shattered plate was still on the floor. "DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!"
