      Today is the first day of school. In the days that lead up to it, we met our final roommate, Jayed. She brought a cute mare named Melody and at home has three more horses she works with.

      "So are guys excited to start this school year?" Jayed asked as we were all double checking our backpacks to make sure we had everything.

      "I know I am" I replied with a smile before pulling my long blond hair out of my face. "I cant wait to see who else is in my classes"

      "Same here" Hope replied as she stood up a pulled her purple backpack on "And speaking of which, we should probably get going so we aren't late."

      We all agreed and walked out of our dorm, headed towards the doors. The school was fairly big as it had a lot of classrooms for all the different classes they offer. The outer walls were a light grey with light blue doors. Inside, the walls were a darker grey, baby blue lockers lining the walls.

      Jayed and I had to walk a little further than Hope and Shay to find our lockers because we are sophomores. After taking a few minutes to set up our lockers, we said goodbye and headed our separate ways to class. My first class of the day was Geometry.

      As I walked in I looked towards the board to see 'please take a seat anywhere' written on it, so I found a seat near the front.

      After most of the seats had filled up, a boy with black hair and dark blue eyes walked in, taking a seat next to me. I turned to his and said, "Hi there, I'm Annabelle. What's your name?"

      He turned to face me and said, "Zach, nice to meet you Annabelle."

      Our conversation had to end there as the teacher walked in and started class. 

      After class as I was packing up the few things I had for that class, Zach asked, "So what's your next class? Mine's  graphic design"

      I looked at my phone that had a picture of my schedule as the screensaver, then replied "I have drawing"

      "Great, we're going the same direction" he said with a smile then added, "you know, if you wanna walk together."

      I gave a small chuckle then smiled back, "of course I just need to stop by my locker to grab my art supplies first."

      "So where are you from?" I asked Zach as we walked to our second hour, "I lived in Wyoming"

      He nodded then said, "Cool, I'm from California but was born here, in Arizona"

      "That's nice, so you'll be a bit more used to the heat" I said and nudged his shoulder gently before noticing we were next to the art class room.

      "Ya I guess so" he said then looked up "Well, I guess we should probably head to class. I'll see you later"

      "You too, bye" I said before walking on the classroom and sitting down next to Hope.

      "So who was that?" Hope asked me, closing her sketch book

      After I pulled my own sketch book out I replied, "Just a boy I met in my geometry class" with a small shrug

      "He seems nice, did you ask him what riding classes he's in?" She asked

      "No we didn't get much time to talk, just about where we are from. But I'm sure I'll find out after school"

      "Alright class" a lady with a slight Australian accent said "It's time to get started so quiet down and let's get started."
