When me and Travis brought back the new mare we bought for only £100, Travis said to me it could be a challenge. I said, it won't be a challenge if we work together. He smiled and squeezed me for a minute, admiring the mare. "Let's set work on her next week, she should be settled." I walked over to Travis who was stroking her face.
We mucked out her stable, we laughed and joked. Through straw at each other like best friends do. He had a text of Harlie saying 'wanna go out tonite ?x' "I feel bad saying no, should I just go?" Travis asked me. How would I know? Tina got me and Travis to ride some of the school ponies in the arena, we played chase me charlie and the amount of falls we had was unreal! I figured, when Travis is not distracted by other girls he is so much fun but when he is like, Harlie texting him, he goes quiet and is dull for half an hour or more. Is this something?
Mum was pleased that I finally had something to work on and that I was committed. Travis went out with Harlie to a party and had great fun apparently. 'Best fun in ages' Travis said to me, I reminded him about the good times we had aswell, he just replied with 'oh' or 'oh yeeeah..'. Hmm.
Class was ok with Harlie, I suppose. We change round on our timetables so as we go into our new year, it was officially the summer hoildays in 2 days and I was hoping that me and Travis could get on with some work on that horse. "I can't wait for the hoildays!" Harlie squealed at me. I asked why and she said that she's going to invite Travis round, I hope he refuses. I'm getting jelous now.
As we were walking back from school, me and Travis discussed the plans at the stables. "I hope that mare has settled in, I want to get riding her!" Travis kicked the stones on the gravel. "Yeah, she's not been ridden for a few years, let's take it slow." I replied, copying Travis' kicking of the stones. He smirked at me and played footsie with me whilst we were walking. "Hey, Trav.. do you like Harlie?" I asked, pulling my foot away. "She's an alright girl, we're friends but nothing closer." He looked away, innocently, looking over the fields. "Gotta run ahead anyway, see ya Jess." Travis pulled my under his arm and kissed my forehead. He ran on.
When I got home, I rode my bike to the stables to start training on the new mare. When I arrived, she was sleepy and came straight up to me. I groomed her and went to get the tack, she stood perfectly as I put the saddle on her back, I buckled the girth up and put the cavesson headcollar on her. Travis arrived with a bridle he bought. "Hey Jess, I brought the bridle." He winked and poked me. "Too late!" I replied, attatching the lunge rope onto the cavesson. The mare schooled well, extending and collecting her walk and trot, she even had a quick canter. Travis sat and flicked the whip every now and then. I think he'd rather be with Harlie having a good time then helping his best friend with a horse. Oh well.
The summer was officially here! I went to the stables that day with Travis. We tacked the mare up and took her into the arena to give her a ride. Travis led me round as I sat on the mare's back. "She's a very calm mare, maybe she needs a calm name? Something like...Honey?" Travis looked up at me. The mare was a bit honey coloured in places but I liked the name. "Yeah, Honey it is!" I smiled. Travis took me off the lead and I walked round, Honey wasn't scared at anything. I dismounted and legged Travis up onto Honey, he walked round and gave her a little trot. "Very forward when I ask and paced when I ask." Travis smiled, patting Honey's glossy, bay neck.
That night, Harlie invited us over to have a games night with snacks. I picked Travis up, he wore his checkered shirt and tight jeans showing his peachy bottom. His boots were almost like cowboy boots. His fringe was flicked back as well, he looked the job. When we did arrive, Harlie opened the door to her house. She had her hair up in a high ponytail, short, tight, pink dress and pink dolly shoes. It also showed her big breasts and small bottom... Harlie greeted us BOTH with a hug.
"Okay, let's get started, I thought we could watch a movie and have snacks then get our game heads on?" Harlie asked us all, grabbing the bowls of crisps and sweets. Travis licked his lips and winked at me but I just rolled my eyes and sat down. Obviously, as Travis sat down, Harlie sat next to him and offered him first. I must of fallen asleep through the film because when I woke up, the TV screen was black and Harlie was asleep against Travis! Travis had his arms around Harlie... I couldn't believe it. I snuck out and went home. It was too late and I was tired. Why was he snuggled up against her?
