Chapter 40 - A+A
We were sitting down in the cafeteria eating lunch and talking about funny life stories. We were in the middle of listening to how Abby accidentally entered the wrong show when I heard the door open.
We looked up at the same time as Abby, Scarlett and Carmen and saw Cameron, Alex, Will and Jacob enter the room.
I heard some small gasps and giggles from the people in the room. I looked and saw some girls who I knew were beginners gawking at them. And no wonder. They guys were all dressed in such nice riding pants, along with tight shirts so you could see there build.
I saw the guys looking around and then me and Cameron locked eyes. He smiled and gestured for the guys to follow him.
He didn't look away from me the whole time he walked over to my table. Oh no, they were coming to our table. They were going to make a scene.
The guys sat down at our table, Cameron across from me. I stopped eating my salad and put my fork down.
"Yes?" I ask.
He rolled his eyes still smiling. "Hello to you too."
"Are you girls ready to go?" Will says asking all of us.
"You bet!" Scarlett almost squeals.
Carmen nods smiling and Abby stands up and starts walking, grabbing his hand in the process. I look at Cameron and smile.
"Let's go." I stand up and he follows me.
We all start to walk out as a group and I hear some whispers from some girls. They were not nice. They were clearly jealous that we were hanging out with these guys.
"Eww the brown haired one is so happy."
"What does he see in her?"
"She's not even pretty."
"I bet she can't even ride."
"He's be better off with me."
"Ugh the blonde on is holding his hand."
"I called him already."
"She stole him."
"The black haired on stole Jacob from me."
"I can't believe them."
There were many more rude comments, but I ignore them we keep making our way out. It sucks because we literally picked the farthest table from the door so now I'll have to hear more rude comments. Soon I feel Cameron brush his hand against mine. I look and see that Scarlett and will are holding hands, and so is Alex and Abby. Not Carmen and Jacob, but they there talking. He keeps brushing his hand against mine. He does this multiple times and I look at him out of the corner of my eye. He's looking forwards with a thinking face, and sometimes glances at my hand.
Now I know he's trying to hold my hand.
I sigh and roll my eyes before I reach out and grab his hand. We intertwine our fingers and I feel his hand tense up. He wasn't expecting that.
I keep looking forward as we walk towards the door and I see him glance at me. I don't look at him, but I can see he looks confused, but then I smile lights up his face.
We reach outside and start walking towards our horses stalls. Everyone a head of us breaks off and starts going to there horses. I tense up.
I can't ride Dreamer.
I don't trust him. He will buck me off and rim in away and I never see him again or he'll-
I turn to Cameron. I look at him worriedly. "I can't do this. Let me ride blu-"
He places his finger on my lips. "Shhhh." He say and waits for me to look him in the eyes. "Your riding Dreamer and that's finale."
I make a pouty face. "But-"
"No buts." He says. "Now go tack up."
He lets go of my hand and starts walking away. " and he better be tacked up or else you won't see the end of it!" He yells back.
I smile and begin to tack up. First I grab the tack from the tack room, and then I take out dreamer and tie him up. He can sense I'm nervous, because he starts rubbing his head on my arm. I let out a little giggle, and keep tacking him up. Once I'm done I join the circle of everyone standing with their horses.
Cameron smiles at me and nods and then we hop on our horses. He slows down and waits for me, sense I hop on Dreamer last.
It's funny, I expectedDreamer would be scared since I mounted him out of the arena and we were now walking away from it but he was not even phased by it. It was me that was nervous.
I speed Dreamer up to a faster walk so I can catch up to him. He smiled at me.
"Thank god you tacked him up." He said and I rolled my eyes.
"Well I was kinda forced to." I retort. "Who knows what you would've done if I didn't tack him up."
Cameron pretends to think. "Guess I'll only know."
"That just makes me more scared."I say.
He chuckles. "Anyways how is Dreamer."
"He's good why?" I ask and Cameron laughs.
"No I mean right now. You did say he's not ready." He smiles.
I smack my head. "He's... doing good. He doesn't seem fazed."
Cameron grins. "Told you."
I glare at him. " if I was riding blue with you I would've smacked that grin right off your face."
He chuckles. "I'm sure you would have." He brings Blue closer to me and leans in. " but that's why I made you ride Dreamer."
I roll my eyes. "Jerk."
"Aww thanks." He says.
I send a glare.
"Oh anyways we're here." He says.
I look forward and see we're entering the forest again. I look at Cameron confused. This is not an entrance that I've seen before.
"Where are we?" I ask.
"I found another path, it has smaller jumps and is wider." Cameron explains.
"Okay great." I say, and then worry takes over.
Dreamers totally going to buck me off.
Then everyone a head starts trotting in a single file so I trot ahead of Cameron. We trot for awhile and I see Everyone ahead break into a canter. I get Dreamer to canter, and he listens well. Which causes some of my nerves to leave my body.
We canter along smoothly for a while, and I look at the amazing forest around me. I can here some birds chirping and it's amazing. Soon I see a small log head, and my nerves return. Dreamers never jumped over a log with me on him, what will I do?
Soon Carmen who was ahead of me jumps and it's my turn. We slowly go towards it and I make up my mind that will just go around it. I tried to pull dreamer away but he doesn't listen, he just continues towards the log. I brace for him to stop, but instead I'm greeted by the familiar feeling of flying. We land on the other side and a smile grows on my face.
I can do this.
We continue to canter and jump over everything, even as it gets higher. We jump over some huge logs, and I'm so happy with him.
Then ahead I see some water that we will have to canter through, but for some reason I'm not worried. We canter through it, and I even get some water on my face. The smile stays though. I can feel how happy Dreamer is and I give him a pat.
Soon we can see an opening in the forest and I can tell that our ride is over. I slow Dreamer to a walk and then Cameron pulls up beside me, out of breath.
"Well that was fun." I huff.
"I told you he would listen." Cameron says and smiles cheekily.
I glare at him. "Seriously?"
"Yes." He grins. "Isn't it good that I pushed you to your limits?"
"Yeah.. well technically it's not my limit." I say.
"Ahh. That's why we're going to try bareback tomorrow." Cameron says.
I look at him. "No!" I say and wave my hands in the air. "Absolutely not."
" oh relax, it will be in the arena." Cameron says rolling his eyes.
I cross my arms. "I hate you."
"I know you do."
Soon we walk out of the forest and up to the barn. Once we get there, I swing off Dreamer and give him a pat. Everyone else hops off and we say our good byes.
"Well it was a Pleasure riding with you." Cameron says, pretending to bow.
I pretend to curtsy. " The pleasure was all mine Cam."
I giggle and he chuckles.
I walk Dreamer over to his stall and tie him up. I begin to untag him and then I brush him down. When I'm done I put away the tack and then grab a carrot for him. I give it to him before I put him in his stall, and then I close the door.
I walk over to Carmen and Scarlett and see them talking.
"Hey guys!" I say smiling.
"Oh my gosh I had so much fun!" Scarlett squealed.
"Same!" Carmen beams. "Jacob is so sweet."
"Aww.I'm glad you guys had a good time." I smile. "By the way where's Abby?"
Scarlett looks confused for a second. " I thought she was putting her tack away."
Carmen looks concerned now. " but... I saw her come back and put away Star."
"Oh..." I say. "Strange, lets go look for her."
We walk around to the other side of the barn, thinking she might be talking to Alex. It when we turn we freeze.
Alex and Abby are kissing. Abby spots us from the corner of her eye and pulls away blushing.
We all squeal.
This is probably one of my favourite chapters.
Can you believe I haven't updated for over a month! WHAT! I'm so mad at myself I have majors writers block so can you please put any ideas in the comments?
Thank god I have pre written chapters so I'm posting this one before chapter 44 is done, but that's ok.
Thank you to everyone for putting such nice stuff on my board! Sadly I can't reply or post stuff on other people's board because I can't put in an email. I had an old account that I forgot the password to, which has that email, which makes me unable to post stuff on message boards.
So so sorry for the inconvenience!
Hope you enjoyed this chapter and I'll try and post more soon!
