I wake up to the sound of a knock. I set up and rub my eyes, groaning. then I stand up and walk towards the door.
I smooth down my maroon T-shirt and my riding pants that I left on from this morning. I had done my early lesson with Derek, which had the usual happen. Dreamer Bucked and didn't listen to me, and I could barely get him to do a proper trot. I groaned at myself, frustrated. Then, I tell myself that I had only been here a couple of days.
I reach the door, and run my fingers through my hair, trying to make it look okay for my visitor.
" Who is it?" I say, in a not so enthusiastic voice.
"Cameron?" He says, chuckling.
Oh crap! I look like a hot mess and Cameron is at my door! I smooth my hair down one more time, before I open the door.
"Hey..." he says, scratching his neck.
"Hey, what's up?" I ask.
"I was just wondering If you'd like to go out for lunch maybe?" He asks, looking nervous, and my heart beats faster.
"Now, it's only 9." I say.
"Nah in a little while." He replies. "So...is that a yes?"
"Yeah totally." I say, trying not to show how excited I am.
"Alright, I'll come find you later." He says spinning on his heel.
I shut the door, a smile plastered on my face. When the door is closed, I melt against it, laying on the floor.
I giggle a little on the floor before I stand up and practically skip over to the bathroom. How do I already like a guy when I've been her for what...two days?
Scarletts black and white cat jumps up on the bathroom counter. I reach my hand out to pet her, and she rubs against me.
"Hello Tabitha." I say, remembering Scarlett telling me about her cat. "I almost forgot you lived here because your always hiding." I tell her.
Tabitha jumps down and walks over to Scarletts bed where she crawls under it to her usual spot.
I laugh to myself before I I grab my hair brush and start to brush my hair. I pull out all the knots quickly and am thankful that my hair wasn't a complete mess. I pull my hair up into a french braid, which only takes me a couple minutes to do. Next I brush my teeth and wash my face, and then walk towards the door.
I head out side and walk towards Dreamers stall. When I get there, I see the stall door wide open. I nearly have a heart attack, but then I assume maybe someone put him out in the arena.
I grab a pitchfork and a wheel barrow. Then I start to clean Dreamers stall, which is my usual daily duty. Once I'm done I walk the wheel barrow over to the truck that is filled with horse droppings. I walk up a plank leaning on the truck, and drop in the contents in the wheel barrow. I walk over to the tack room and return the wheel barrow and pitch fork. I go back to Dreamers stall.
Dreamer walks around the corner, all tacked up in different tack, with...Victoria leading him. Angry ignites inside me, and I clench my fists.
She has her halter and half chaps on, and looks ready to ride.
"What are you doing?" I ask her annoying, stepping in her way.
"Just showing you how to ride your horse, that's all." She says plainly. "Plus, he likes me better." She says, reaching to rub his nose, and the only reason he doesn't flinch away is because of how tight she's holding him.
I roll my eyes. "Look, I cant let you ride him."
"Why? Is it because you're scared to see someone do better than you on him?" She says smirking.
"No," i say, clenching my jaw. "He just dangerous."
"Well I can handle him." She says, smirking.
"I'll ask you only once." I say, frustrated. "Give. Me. Back. My. Horse."
She pretends to think about it. "No."
She mounts him on the spot. " this is what you get for embarrassing me." She says angrily. "Now watch and learn."
I grit my teeth and follow her as she leads him to the arena. I open the gate for her, and remind myself karma will serve her well.
"Let me show you that you don't belong here." She says smugly. "Your not good enough to be here."
I roll my eyes. "Please get off, I can't let you get hurt."
"Trust me, I won't." She says, turning to go along the outside.
I notice a couple of people walking up to the fence, watching. They know that's not Victoria's horse. Some more join them, and soon there's a crowd. I look over to Victoria and see that she not cracking under presser.
"Alright, trot!" She says and give Drramer a kick.
This is not going to end well. You don't kick Dreamer, he bolts with just a squeeze!
Dreamer bolts into a full on gallop. Victoria leans forward at such a fast movement, I can see her bounce up and down on the saddle. She stays there for half a lap, before she jerks hard on the reins.
I smack my head. You really don't do this with Dreamer.
Dreamer rears, and I see Victoria lose a stirrup. Dreamer realizes this, and feels her panic. So he rears again, but now even higher. Victoria goes into a tight two point, very close to Dreamer and doesn't fall off. I can see her put her foot back on the stirrup, and Dreamer rears again.
She gives him a kick and he bucks, right before bolting. She loses her stirrups in the process, and you can see her getting tired. He bucks again, and you can see how close she was from falling off. Her whole body came off the saddle, and she just barely landed on top of him.
He give one last buck, and she falls off , landing on her side.
I here a "Ooooh." In the crowd.
Dreamer canters half way around the arena, before trotting up to me. He stopped right next to me, and I stared into his eyes.
I just stand there for a second before I turn to Victoria, who is slowly sitting up. I can see the embarrassment on her face. Karma served her well.
She stands up, anger taking over her features.
"YOU!" She practically growled. "YOU LET ME RIDE HIM!"
"Don't you dare say that." I said, getting angry that she was playing the blame game. "I told you not to ride him, but guess what! You did anyways didn't you?"
She's silent for a second before she starts to yell again. "Yeah I did. But so what?" She yelled. "I thought it was the riders problem! But it's the horses problem! He shouldn't be here, he's dangerous!"
"Yeah, he is right now, because you just kicked and jerked the crap out of him!" I yell back. "Don't you dare say he's a bad horse if you can't even ride him properly!"
"Well you can't train him properly!" She yells back.
He stare each other down before he hear someone clear their throat. Standing behind us is Sherri warhorse.
"I'll see you to in my office now."
