KristenKristen had come up to her mother to listen to the rules. Kristen nodded, and then sighed silently. Katie looked down at her daughter. "Alright sweetheart, I'm going to go. Please take good care of yourself." Katie said kissing her daughter on the cheek and giving her a hug. "I'll see you soon." Then Katie walked to her car, and took out Kristen's suitcase and tack before leaving, waving as she droved off. Kristen finally let out her long sigh she had been holding.
She looked at the cabin, the stables then the pasture and decided that it would be better to go to the cabin first. Kristen walked over to her stuff that was on the ground and took out her ipod from her suitcase. She put the earphones in her ear then turned the song to Im a b***h by Meredith Brooks. Singing the song to herself she held her tack in her hands and just barely led her suitcase towards the cabin, Missy following.
Going into the cabin she saw that 2 other people had chosen their beds because of their stuff on their beds. Sighing Kristen searched for another bed and saw one that was facing a window, that looked out to the pasture. Kristen took that bed and put her suitcase onto her bed. She put her tack under her bed not wanting anyone to see her tack, or touch it. Still listing to the song, Kristen sat on her bed for a while thinking, as she stroked Missy who was sleeping soundly on her lap.

Sarah
Sarah listened still paying attention to Misty. Seeing Alli riding only made her want to ride. She patted Misty one more time and then went to find Maggie. She spotted her at the pasture and cautiously walked up to the fence. "Uh....um...Ma'am?"
 Matt
Matt smiled, watching her work with the horse. He had been hoping for an answer but he was patient and could wait. "Ah ok, I'll wait then. I'm sure I won't have a problem with him, but thanks for the warning." He stepped out of the stall and closed the door. Slowly to make it seem as if he was just wandering around, he walked outside watching Alli ride. He leaned against the stable, quietly watching.

Kristen
Kristen sat on her bed for a couple of more minutes. Once the song was done, Kristen got up from her bed and looked outside her window. She saw a girl by the pasture and then a guy watching a girl ride. Groaning silently, Kristen walked downstairs switching the song to "Who I am" By Jessica Andrews. She saw the rules and read them quickly. Nodding, Kristen walked outside singing softly to the song. Kristen stopped in her tracks and hesitated. If she walked towards the stables, then the guy might say hi. If she walked towards the pasture the girl would greet her. Her thoughts made her push forward and she slowly walked, coming close to the guy. She dropped her eyes to the ground, quicking her pace a little, hesitating. She hid her bandages with her arm, as she held her blue ipod.

Alli Maggie turned her head when she heard someone talking to her. "Hm...? Yes Sarah.....what is it?" She said while turning and giving the girl her full attention. "If your wanting to start riding, you can go back into the stable and meet me there....I'll be there in a few more seconds alright?" She said smiling before heading around the corner and disappearing out of sight.
Alli tightened her grip upon the reins, pulling back slightly while digging her heels into Coley's flank, making him do a sharp turn around a post. "Come on boy.....I know you can do better than that....." She said as he snorted and picked up some speed before attempting the turn again at the same post. "Yea.....that's my boy!! Good job!" Alli gave him a quick pat on the neck before slowing him down to a walk and heading back to the stables, she looked over by the doors only to notice Matt, and blushing slightly, she winked and waved at him before dismounting and leading Coley back into the stables.

Sarah
Sarah would've replied but Maggie dissapeared too fast. She basicaly ran to the stable in excitment. Rembering her maners she slowed and entered the stable. Misty greeted her with a nicker and Sarah gladly went over to pat the mare.
Matt
Matt grinned, he enjoied watching her work with the horse. He joined her, walking calmly on Coley's other side. "That was good. I asume that you work with him on a regular basis. You two make a good team." He smiled at her. He had notice a blond girl walk by him, no doubt wanting him to strike up a conversation. He had been watching Alli and Coley instead and hadn't said a word to her. He wasn't even paying attention now, except to the horse and girl beside him. "How long have you been riding?"

Kristen Gladly that he wasn't riding, Kristen walked towards the pasture, slowly as she approaced the pasture, seeing some of the horses grazing. She stood her distanice and watched from their, shaking alittle. She blinked fast, another flashbacks coming to her mind. She shook her head to get them out. Kristen tied her hair, to let the cool wind blow on her. Seeing a horse come close to the gate, looking strate at her, she turned around and headed for the stable. On her right their was rules for the stable. She slowly read them. She walkeed slowly and calmy past the stalls coming by a girl. Kristen's eyes dropped to the ground as if she was looking for something just like she did with the guy.

Sarah
Sarah didn't notice the Kristen untill Misty snorted. She turned around, it wasn't her normal to talk to new people but it didn't look like the other girl was going to say anything. She was uncomfortable but spoke up anyway. "Um, do you want something?"Matt
"Me well not too long just since I was about eight. I never rode that much, I moved too much to stay with one stable for long." He picked up a brush and started working on Coley's other side. He dropped the subject and looked around, checking for Maggie. "So, what do you do for fun around here? Any party places?"

Kristen Kristen looked up from the floor, her eyes meeting with the other girl. "No.." She said holding her arm, ashamed to show her scars. "No." She said again, walking into the tack room.

Alli Shrugging, Alli replied while giving Cole a carrot and a pat on the neck. "Well.....it's actually quite a ways to the city from here.....I've only went there about 4 times....so yea....and I don't think I consider myself a party person...." Alli quickly scratched at her arms which had the fresh cut scars from this morning.
Maggie walked into the stables and smiled as she saw Matt, Sarah and Kirsten all sort of talking with each other. 'Hm.....seems Matt's taking a liking to Alli.....I hope she'll accept him....it's been quite a while since she was around guys....' Maggie walked into her office for a moment, then came back out with some papers. Clearing her throat, she looked to everyone. "Alright you guys....I'm sure your all quite anxious as to which horses you'll be taking care of, riding and spending the most time with....well I've chosen Matt to be with Buddy....Sarah with Duchess and you Kirsten can pal up with Spike...." Maggie then went over the rules quickly before she went back into her office.

Kristen "This tack room is big..." Kristen thought. At her house her tack room was quite small and so was her stable. It was nothing like this. Her family wasn't rich and didn't have tons of money after her father almost took everything from them. But Kristen and her mom got a good amount of money for themselves and was totaly lucky to have it.
Looking at the all the driffernt kinds of tack, Kristen stood outside the tack room listing to Maggie. Hearing the horse she would be assigned to, a rush of saddness but excitement filled Kristen. Letting out a sigh, she pulled herself up and looked around at the stable looking at all the horses stalls. Catching a glimps of the gold/bronze name tag on one of the stall doors, she slowly walked over to it. There, standing was a grey lippianzar horse his ears pricked forward when he heared footsteps approacing. A loud snort came from the gelding, and he took a step forward, one after another towards the girl. Spike came up to Kristen and nuzzled her hopeing to be patted. A small smile came over Kristen's face and she layed her hand on his forehead, rubing between the eyes. She forgot how good it felt to touch a horse once again.

Sarah
Sarah gave a weird glance in Kristen's direction. She shrugged and went back to petting Misty. When Maggie announced that she wasn't going to be working with the mare she was slightly crest fallen. She patted the mare for a last time. "Sorry girl I guess I should go meet my assigned horse." She sighed and trugged off to find Duchess. Her solemness disseapeared when she saw the golden colored mare. She introduced herself with a smile.Matt
Matt's suspicion he had had at first was strengthened by Alli's scratching. He couldn't count how many times he had seen Sarah do that when she cut herself. He didn't ignore the action, nor did her stare, or brush it off. He gave her a soft knowing smile. "You shouldn't scratch them, you don't want to make them worse." He went back to what they had been talking about. He didn't want to offend her and could only hope that he hadn't. "Truely I'm not much for parties, there just handy for getting things you can't normaly get." Of course he was talking soley about alochol but he could've been talking about several things.

Alli Maggie saw Alli scratching, and raised a brow. "Sweethart....can you come here for a second please....?" Alli looked at her mother, eyes slightly wide as she lowered her head and sighed. "I'm comin'....." Silently she put away Coley's brush and walked into her mother's office, sitting in the other chair. "So whaddya want?" Sighing, Maggie bit her lip for a moment before speaking. "Alli....I just want to know.....did you relapse again....?" Alli sent her mother a glare as she huffed and crossed her arms. "I can't believe you don't even ******** trust me anymore....!!!" She almost screamed as she kicked at the desk infront of her.
The 'talk went on for about 20 more minutes with Maggie trying to keep herself calm, and Alli screaming all about, scaring all the horses, before she stormed out of her mother's office, enraged and furious. Heading into a run, she didn't care how far her legs took her, but she really just wanted to get away for a bit from her mother. Not caring if she happened to leave Coley stall door open slightly.

Kristen
Kristen wacthed Alli storm out of the stable. Spike however was prancing in his stall tossing his head nervously. "It's alright boy..." Kristen murmmed softly, stroking his neck, her light touch calming him. Pulling a carrot out of her pocket she offered it to Spike, who took it polietly and chewed it down. Kristen looked at her own scars, and quickly pulled her green sweater down over her arm, looking around to see if anyone saw.

Sarah
Sarah spooked as easily as the horses, becoming nervous with all the yelling. She clung to Duchess, taking comfort from the warm horse. She looked over to Matt and he mearly shook his head and frowned. She left Duchess and went to the tack room, quickly picking up a brush and halter and lead rope. She haltered the mare and led her outside of the barn to a shaded tree. Sarah tied the mare to a low branch and started grooming her.
Matt
Matt sighed and scratched Coley's ears he watched Alli run from the stable and counted to a hundered. He slid Coley's stall door shut and walked to Maggie's office. He knocked softly and stood in the doorframe. "I'm going to take Buddy out for a ride." He turned and walked to the tack room, picking up a western saddle, bridle and saddle pad. He went back to Buddy's stall and started tacking the horse up.
