"Hey!" I smiled walking over to Becky, Zoe, and Jade. "Where's Rosie?" I asked noticing the little fashionista was missing.

"She's in pony camp, mucking." Zoe laughed, knowing her sister was literally in hell right now.

I couldn't help but laugh a little myself at the image. "Marcus is coming over here." Becky whispered, loudly.

"So?" I asked, not getting at what she was saying. Yeah he's cute but there's no reason to be nervous around him. He seems way too cocky for his looks.

"Marcus has the hots for Zoe." Jade said, quickly filling me in.

"He does not, we're just friends." Zoe said, trying to defend their friendship.

"And Zoe has the hots for Marcus!" Becky finished, ignoring Zoe's comment. I raised my eyebrows in surprise that she would go for him. Well I guess he is nice and definitely good looking, though he's not the one I have my eye on. I looked back over to Pin to see him working back with his dad.

"We have to go!" Becky said grabbing my arm and pulling me away with a hard tug. I couldn't help but laugh knowing that Zoe was slightly annoyed at how we quickly fled the scene.

I looked back and gave her a teasing smile and wave before I followed Becky and Jade to the horses. "Here." Jade gave me a helmet. "It's my extra one and I think it will fit. You should come with us."

I tried it on and it fit perfectly. "Yeah and ride what?" I asked, giving her a knowing look that there's nothing to ride.

"Here." I turned around to the sound of Marcus. There was this tacked up bay horse that looked to be about 16 hands. "You'll ride her."

I smiled and walked forward, running my hands across the horses neck. "I don't even have the pants or boots." I said looking up at Marcus as he smiled down at me.

"I have some pants!" Jade yelled, tying her horse to the fence and going to go grab them.

"Grab my extra boots too!" Becky yelled, and Jade gave her a thumbs up as she went away.

"That's everything." Marcus said, giving me a smile as leaned against the horse.

I playfully rolled my eyes. "How do you even know I ride?" I asked, crossing my arms and shifted my weight onto one foot.

He smirked as he looked at my stance. "I don't, but this is your chance."

I shrugged. "Okay, well I'm going to get changed. I'll be back."

Jade came out just as I was heading towards the tack room. "Can you watch the door while I change real quick?" I asked as she nodded.

"Of course." Was her replied as I went in and quickly changed out of my trusty jeans into the tight riding pants I haven't worn in so long.

The boots fit perfectly as I zipped them up. It's been so long but as I'm completely ready to mount the horse it feels so...me.

"Okay, I'm ready." I smiled walking out and putting my helmet on as I made my way across the yard to Marcus and the horse. "What's his name?"

"Lilly." Marcus replied as I reached them. I took the reins from him and thank him for tacking Lilly up.

"I should go get the others ready." He said, backing up. "See you around." He sent me a quick smile as he turned and walked away.

"What are you doing?!" Mia's voice sounded as she came out leading her horse.

"Hi I'm Bethany." I smiled, figuring I'd introduce myself to her. "Marcus told me to ride Lilly." I said ignoring her tone.
