Jealousy ~book 1 in the Flying Change series~

Wishing

The days dragged on and I was helping Heather get ready to show in the fifth and last show in the YENT circuit, a couple of days after that, they would announce who made the team.

Finally it was show day, no more Heather asking if she did it okay and if i thought she would make it a million times a day. I woke up early and went to the stable to help heather braid Zeus. i did her mane and heather her tail. it was early but we were hot and tired when we got in the  truck and made our way to the show grounds. heathers blond hair was plastered ho her neck and my chestnut wavy hair was also, it was really annoying.

we got to the show and i offered to groom and tack up Zeus while Heather got changed . She came out of the bathroom and looked like a horse magazine model. her hair was tucked into a hair net, she had a navy show jacket on and white breeches. All she was missing was to change into her Ariat tall boots and she was ready to go.

A flawless round later, Heather came out of the ring with her blue ribbon and lucy with her red. I was half proud of my friend, I was sure she was going to make the YENT, she was an amazing rider paired with an amazing horse. I was half sad or jealous too, she was going to have an amazing time and grow a lot as a rider, she was going to go to rated shows, to A circuits, she was going to train with an ex-Olympic rider, she was going to have all I wanted. What most devastated me about this was that I was doing so well I had cleared the blue ribbons in the shows I got to go to that made part of the YENT circuit, I had a spot cicured, until Mandala got hurt.

I wondered where Alison had gone, she was supposed to compete in this class, I supposed that she hadn't done well, or that she went off with some of her friends.

After lunch Elizabeth told heather and me to do to the arena because the judges had Ana announcement to make, I had a feeling that they were going to announce who had gone in. Because of this thought, I didn't want to go, Heather had to drag me there.

"Hello, everyone!" The YENT scout " I have to congratulate all of the riders for the amazing rides, it is a hard choice to chose five riders to go to the YENT team, so we decided to think about it more, the riders that will be going will be reciving a letter with all the information. Right now i want to tell you what you will happen if you are chosen.
You will go to an equestrian boarding school called Iron Hooves and you will have privet lessons and group lessons with the YENT team, you will go to many shows as a team and if you do good in reagolals you will be flying to Okala for a horse show to represent the YENT. In Iron Hooves you will attend to classes according to your age and you are only to pay the board of your second horse if you decide to have one. In the campus there are restaurants, and few entertainment areas because it is focused in riding. That's all and I hope to see a five of you in Iron Hooves!"

I was stunned,I think everyone was, if I had made it to the team, I would be living in a paradise, just if I had made it...
"Wow" Heather said with a blank face " o wanted to get in so badly, and now o want to even more!"
"I know. At least you have a chance, I don't..." I sayd grumpily.
"Maybe next year, or you could be the replacement." Heather said helpfully
"It will rather take one year or it implies doing absolutely nothing" I snapped and I stomped away. Just then I regretted it and I took out my IPhone to text heather

Amber: heather I am sorry about what o said. See we ok?
Heather: it's ok. I know that you are sad that you can't get that chance,it must be really hard on you.

This text relieved me, I couldn't lose a mother friend.
I just wish that none of this drama had happened, I wanted to have a chance at the YENT. I just had to keep wishing...
