Dreamfields

Chapter 5 - A night out

One month, that's how long it has been since I arrived at Dreamfields. I would be dishonest if I told you that it hasn't had its up and downs. To be honest it's been hard I've worked six days a week with long hours, I've ridden two horses during this time two brown ones but only in the forest, to be honest that is the most fun I've had since I arrived. I haven't been asked to come along and help at competitions yet but hopefully that will come.

I'm mocking Atticus stall when Anna comes in all cheerful and happy. "You know what happens this weekend?" She asks all exited.

"No I don't." I'm confused but can't help to smile.

"It's our weekend off! Remember." She almost scream.

"Yes it is, but why so exited?" I ask.

"We are heading into town to party!" She tells me.

"I don't know... I was really looking forward to a calm weekend in bed." I'm uncertain if I would like to party it's never really been my thing. I went out once back home with my best friend but it wasn't that fun we only sat at the bar drinking cider, she was too afraid of the guards to try and get into a night club.

"Please! Please say you'll come it will be so much fun." She begs me.

"Okay fine I'll come, but only because I'm too tired to argue with you about not going." I tell her.

"Yes. Thank you, thank you, and thank you! If I'm not wrong she will start to jump up and down any minute now. "Get ready for Friday night because we are going to rule this town!" Anna says. I can't help myself but to laugh "Alright, alright Friday night we will take over the town and show the people living here how to have fun." I grin

"That's the spirit." We both laugh hysterically.

The rest of the week is the same, mocking, feeding, tacking the horses and being treated badly by Claudia has become a regular thing. There's always something wrong when I'm finished getting her horses ready. Either the saddle is too far back or the horse is not clean enough, you name it. I haven't meet Robbie that much either, only said hi a few times in the time I've been here. Ever since I found out the two of them were dating I've made it my mission to stay away from him, and not because I'm afraid of Claudia, it's because I don't want any drama. Plus I may or may not be afraid to fall for a guy that is already taken. I'm here to learn about horses and the business so that I one day can start one of my own, not to fall in love. This is what I've been trying to say when I reason with myself every time I happens to think of him and the way he helped me the first day, and don't get me started of the way he is with the horses you can really see that he loves them. Last horse done for today and it's time for me to get ready for our girls night out. I give Mary a brown mare a last pet before I say good bye and head for the attic. I throw of my dirty boots and take a look in the mirror, I have hay in my hair and dirt all over me so I decide that it's probably a good idea to take a shower so I look somewhere near good. Taking a long hot shower is one of my favorite things to do, it's relaxing and warm and did I mention relaxing. Like I said I like it a lot. Honestly I really do feel like staying at home and watch a movie and perhaps take a cup of tea right now, but a promise is a promise and so I take out my curling iron and blow-dryer and begin with my hair. When I'm done with that I put a little bit of makeup on just some mascara and some BB cream so that it won't look like I'm sick or something. Before I go and meet up with Anna I take a last look in the mirror and over analyzes my outfit, my long blonde hair lies in loose curls on my shoulders and my blue dress matches my blue eyes, I could also not go anywhere without my brown boots that finishes up my country look. Is it too much? I'm not used to go to clubs maybe I'm over dressed, I am wearing the finest piece of clothing that I brought with me. Shacking my head in disapproval of myself, I have to stop doubting myself and not care what people think of me, I like my outfit and that's what matters I try to convince myself.
