Ash Wood Riding Academy

Chapter 2. Training

             My alarm clock woke me up this morning. Somehow though in all its annoyingness no one else woke up except for me.  I took my soft pillow covered with sown horses on it and threw it at Angel. While waiting for Angel to wake up I jumped down off my bed with a thud. I guess that was enough for Angel as she shot up like a rocket letting out a line of curses. I quickly put my finger to her mouth and shush.

            "Angel shut up or you'll wake the whole dorm." I hissed.

            "Says the girl who jumps off a bed and scares people awake, I almost had a heart attack!" Quickly picking up her attitude she smirked saying, "you should know better than to scare a fellow equestrian. I'll make sure you regret it in the ring."

            "All right Mrs. Equestrian, we'll see in the ring." I said cockily.

            "What time is it anyways," Angel said moaning. "Is the cafeteria open for breakfast?"

            "For your information its 6:45, and you have forty five minutes to shower, change, and eat breakfast so hurry." I said while shooing her into the bathroom with a final yell of, "and hurry up I have to go in after you!"

            That was enough to wake up "Princess Lola" as she groans and pulls off her pink polka dotted sleeping mask. With a quite displeased look on her face she places her middle finger to her lips, then again places her sleeping mask back onto her face.

            Knocking on the door again with no answer, as I go to knock on the door again it magically opens up in front of me with Angel standing at the door in her riding clothes and wet hair wrapped up in a towel.

            "Took you long enough," I say to Angel.

            "Yeah yeah whatever," she says waving her hand in the air as if to swat at an imaginary fly.

            "Well you're like a turtle now I only have 2 minutes to shower." I answer trying to sound very displeased as I march into the bathroom closing and locking the wooden door behind me. I turn on the shower head to hot and turn off two lights leaving the other two on. I quickly strip out of my silky pink pajamas and but before I jump in the shower I turn of one of the other lights again. Now this is why I love this shower head, the shower head lets out a stream of bright colors.

            Suddenly there was a loud knock on the door. Oh right I forgot princess Lola was awake, she's such a pain sometimes.

            "Yes!" I let out a yell from the shower with a very displeased tone of voice.

            "Are you almost done, I need to shower!" Lola yelled back ready to matching my anger with hers.

            "Almost!"  I answered, and turned off the hot shower water jumping out into my towel. Quickly drying myself and jumping into my tan breeches, mocha brown belt, and tucked in my white loose tank top that says, 'I'd Rather Be Riding' with the outline of a running horse.

             I was unlocking the door silently trying to slip out when Lola ran through the door way, pushing the door while running to the toilet high speed. I think that'd be a new record for Lola's gym class. Since Lola is always conveniently finding excuses for gym class, not that Coach Muller believes her anyways.  He just rolls his eyes and goes on about his day completely forgetting Lola existed.

            Wanting to avoid seeing Lola's naked bottom, I quickly scurry out of the washroom closing the door behind me. I quickly grab my Auken field boots setting them beside me as a pull on my black Ariat knee socks with the design of a shoe. Then I quickly pull on my boots running out the door with my keys in hand down to the cafeteria. At the cafeteria I order two crapes with strawberry jam on the inside and quickly gulp them down. I return my dishes and run to the barn passing the tack room and stopping dead in my tracks. I turn around grab Icy's tack and grooming kit then speed walking to his stall.
