Not wasting a single second
Kayden was born in Montana eighteen years ago on June 15th. Her parents were horse-people, her father was a champion western rider and her mother was an Olympic rider and trainer. She has a twin that was born a few minutes after her. Kayden was raised in the world of horses on her parent's ranch. The ranch taught both English and Western riding along with rehabilitating rescue horses. It was never easy, but, from a young age, Kayden learned that nothing in life was ever easy. She was put on a small pony named Little Miss Sunshine, also known as Sunny, and learned how to ride. Her father taught her to ride Western and her mother taught her to ride English. The ranch was huge, over a hundred acres, and all of it was for the horses. On the land behind the ranch, was a herd of wild horses that ran free across the plains. Her parents boarded, trained, bred, and rehabilitated horses. They also taught classes on horse care, horsemanship, and other things. There was never a dull moment on the ranch, whether it was riding, training, grooming, or mucking out stalls, there was always something to do. Kayden had always been a natural rider, having perfect balance and an amazing seat. She was known as the Horse Whisperer around town, even at a young age, since she never came across a horse that she couldn't make friends with. When her mother or father needed someone to demonstrate a skill in a lesson, they called on Kayden. Even the older kids, and adults, that ever saw her ride always said she had a gift. She could get on any horse and in a matter of seconds bee moving as one being with them. Anyone who ever underestimated Kayden was quickly put in their place.
At five years old, her parents started to let her help with the rescue horses. Since she was young, they only let her groom the horses that they thought were safe enough. Kayden hated being babied but, later that year, she witnessed one of the grooms being sent to the hospital because of an incident with one of the horses and understood why her parents would only let her be around safe rescue horses. Most people would be turned off from seeing someone being rolled away with blood gushing from gashes and an obvious shattered leg, but not Kayden. The incident with the groom only made her more determined to work with the rescue horses. She wanted to help them. At the same time, she was beginning to compete in shows. Her first show was a local one and is was a Western show. All the kids there knew her and weren't surprised when she took the blue ribbons each time. To Kayden, the show was a walk in the park, as it was for the mustang pony she was riding named Wind Dancer. After that, her showing took off. She showed in English and Western events and normally came home with ribbons, usually firsts or seconds. When she was ten, she entered her first state show with some horses. She was entered in the highest level for the Jumper division and was the youngest in the division. The other girls there taunted and teased her, wondering what "such a little girl" was going in this division. Kayden tried to deal with them but when they started to talk badly about Peachblossom, a strawberry roan thoroughbred that had been a rescue horse after she broke her front leg, Kayden snapped and gave the girls a piece of her mind. Though, the girls didn't shut up and said that Kayden was all talk. If her best friend, Colton, hadn't pulled her away from the girls, then Kayden would have given them a good punch in the face. She hated being underestimated, even if those girls were sixteen and she was ten, it didn't matter. She was just as good, if not better, then all of them. Since, she was already riding at an expert riding level by the age of ten. She had expected it since there was never one day when her parents didn't work her till she dropped in a lesson. The division finally started and Kayden was first to go. The girls gave her a few last remarks as she entered the ring, but those were the last remarks they ever said to her. The jumps were high, scary high, but Kayden cleared them like it was nothing. She made the sharpest turns and made them look graceful and elegant. Peachblossom did her job by staying fast, collected, and balanced. They cleared the round with the fastest time and that was the last time anyone ever teased her. She came home that day with all blue ribbons.
Years passed, and Kayden was still at the top of her game. Her parents let her travel all across the U.S to show and Kayden loved it. Around the time she was twelve, her parents let her begin to rehabilitate the rescue horses. Kayden started small with a few abused ponies but they were hard work. Some of them were fairly trusting, just sensitive in spots, while others were terrified of any sudden movement and Kayden couldn't even raise her hand without them spooking and trying to get away. So she took the slow rode and spent hours just sitting with them, talking, and gained their trust after a while. It took a long time, but soon Kayden had ponies that had once been scared of every little thing, eating out of her hand and following eh around like a puppy. The hardest part for Kayden was not the training or gaining the horses' trust but what came after that, finding them new homes. Some of the rescue horses stayed at the ranch while others were adopted by other families that would take care of them. It always hurt Kayden to see a horse leave but it also gave her a sense of pride since she knew that she had done her job and gave that horse a second chance in life. Though, it didn't come with a price. As she got older and began to train more advanced rescue horses, they began to inflict serious injuries on the girl. At first it was only kicks and bites but it soon became full on attacks that would send her straight to the hospital. Her parents worried about her greatly, saying that she didn't have to work with the rescue horses if she didn't want to, but Kayden was determined to. Every time she got out of the hospital, she went right back into the ring and began training again. She never let injuries hold her back and would cut a cast off as soon as she felt the bone felt healed, even if the doctor had told her to keep it on for a few more weeks. She loved horses and wanted to help them in any way she could. She loved training horses, showing, demonstrating for others, and raising the foals, but her favorite thing of all was working with the rescue horses, nothing could beat that. She had friends at school, good friends, but, to her, horses always came first. She would even cancel an evening with her friends if something came up with the horses.
Since she was a little kid, Kayden's best friend had been Colton. They had known each other since they were ten when he came up to her at a local horse show. Kayden had been showing a quarter horse gelding in an advanced class of pole bending and had been just about to go when Colton came over to her, with his horse. They quickly fell into conversation and clicked. He told her that he lived right by her family's ranch and she remembered seeing him in school at times. They became best friends quickly and they were the first two in the group. They had started it and, later on, the others joined. Though, Kayden was closest to Colton over anyone else in the group. In fact, when they were older, she developed a crush on him but never told him. She trusted him greatly and even let him help her train some of the rescue horses. They taunted and teased each other, and, like any friends, got into fights, but it never lasted long. Kayden knew she could trust Colton with anything and always turned to him for help. It was rare to see the two apart and Kayden hoped that it would always stay like that. Though, she never expected her perfect friendship to come crashing down.
It had been almost three years, though Kayden remembers it like it was yesterday. For the past few days, she had sensed something off with Colton and constantly asked him if everything was alright. He, of course, told her everything was fine but Kayden didn't believe him. He wasn't acting normal and that bothered her. She just knew something was off. So, she kept at it and asked him every day until he finally caved. The news he gave her was not what she had been expecting, his parents were getting a divorce. She promised not to tell anyone since she knew that, if he wanted to tell the others, he should be the one telling them. So, she kept the secret and supported Colton through the coming month, always being there for him. Then, the even larger bomb was dropped on her, Colton and his father were moving away, all the way to New York! Kayden was devastated to be losing her best friend but made him swear to keep in touch no matter what. She tried to convince her parents to buy Colton's two favorite horses, Melody and Clover, but they had already been bought by someone else. Kayden wasn't herself after Colton left, she missed him greatly. She missed having him by her side, riding together, and just the sound of his voice, she missed everything about him. They kept in contact and called each other once a week but it wasn't enough for Kayden, she wanted to see Colton. Though, things, as always, were busy at the ranch and her parents couldn't let her go for a weekend off to New York to see Colton since they needed her on the ranch. Kayden slowly went back to her way of life, but never lost contact with Colton and told him about everything. Even though they were both at different sides of the U.S, Kayden refused to let Colton slip through her fingers; she just wouldn't let it happen.
Kayden had been raised around horses since she was a baby and had trained dozens but had never had a real challenge in her life. She had trained horses that would try to attack you and got lots of wounds but known of them were ever bad, the worst being her leg broken in two places and a severe concussion, and she had had the rescue horse fully trusting her in less than six months. Then, Anakin came along. Kayden found him when she was riding one of her horses in the woods. He was young, only two, and was a beautiful black Hanoverian stallion with a perfect build and elegant body. He was tied to a pole by a rope that was tied around his neck and had a bad injury from the rope. He was also starved, terribly starved, and weak. Kayden suspected that he would have been on the ground if the rope hadn't been too short. He was all skin and bones, Kayden could almost count every bone in his body. The field that he was simply dirt and there was no water. Quickly, Kayden jumped the fence and untied the stallion and took him home. The vet was at the ranch in a matter of seconds and was treating him. Everyone didn't think the stallion would survive but Kayden believed he would, something was telling he would. She was determined to help him. After a week, the stallion had gained a fair amount of weight and was getting health back. Though, this wasn't necessarily a good thing. He was getting healthier, yes, but it also became evident that he had never been handled by a human before and was aggressive. When the vet came to check on him, he literally had to be drugged until he couldn't stand before the vet could even attempt to treat him, and even then he was still fighting. Kayden named him Anticipation, Anakin or Ani for short, due to his aggressive temperament and pure black coat. While others looked at him with fright and wanted him gone, Kayden looked at him like a challenge and wanted him to stay. Even her parents tried to talk her out of it, but Kayden wouldn't budge.
Training began once Anakin was at full health and Kayden jumped right in. At first, she couldn't even enter his stall so; instead she stayed outside and spoke to him. Even though he turned away from her or charged, she knew he was listening due to the movement of his ears, which were constantly pointed toward her and the sound of her voice. Slowly, Kayden began to move into the stall but could never touch Anakin without getting bitten, kicked, or charged at. It was a slow process and, by the end of two months, she could only get in the stall and had to stay as close to the door as possible since he still would charge unexpectedly. She hadn't even been able to do join up with him due to his behavior. After a few more months, Kayden finally was able to lead him around and into the ring. She could tell that Ani still didn't trust her and was always watching him since he was known to charge without any warning. Since the grooms were too scared to come within a mile of his stall, his care was all put on Kayden. Things were slowly improving until about six months after she had found Ani. Kayden had been letting the stallion run on the lunge line when it happened. There was absolutely no warning and Kayden was taken completely off guard when Anakin charged at her. She was knocked to the ground as the stallion attacked her. His attacks were vicious and brutal, leaving large gashes. She was lucky that she was wearing her riding helmet, since she had just finished riding one of the other horses, since the stallion inflicted a massive kick to Kayden's head, knocking her completely unconscious. She doesn't remember anything else except waking in the hospital, her favorite place in the world. Not. Her mother was right beside her and called her father and brother in. They told her that she had been in a coma for almost an entire week and had many bruises, closed wounds, and a few broken bones. They also said that she had been calling out for Colton when they were rushing her to the hospital, though she didn't remember calling out to him. Like any horsewomen, the first thing Kayden asked about was Anakin. Both her parents wanted to put the stallion down but Kayden argued strongly. Even her parents couldn't change Kayden's mind and the girl wanted the horse to live, so he lived. She stayed in the hospital for almost a week before going back home. Once her wounds were fairly well healed, Kayden went back to Ani and restarted his training, starting from square one. Within a few months, Kayden was able to get on the stallion but that's were trouble started again. The stallion bucked, reared, and did everything he could to get her off. Kayden fell many times but was soon able to stay on and, when she could actually ride him, found that he was an amazing mover and had incredible speed. He also loved to jump and wasn't afraid of anything. He was also an excellent western horse. Their relationship was one built fully on trust and Anakin trusted, and loved, Kayden with all his heart and Kayden trusted, and loved him, too. She still has her old helmet, which has a big dent form Ani's hoof to remind her how far they have come. He was her challenge, and she is so glad that she refused to give up on him.
Later that year, in May, Kayden started to date Vincent. She had never been one for relationships before and had only gone out on a few dates in her life. Though, Vincent was different then all the other guys at school and she really liked him. They fit each other well and he's able to handle her when her temper flares. They've been dating for almost two months now. Then, early in June, a new girl came to town. Kayden first saw her when she was bringing her two horses to Kayden's family's ranch and her mother told her that the girl's name was Dakota. Kayden saw her the next day in school and talked with her later that day when she came to the ranch. They clicked quickly and Kayden quickly introduced Dakota to the rest of the group. Her new friend was quickly accepted and the two became best friends. Things were going great for Kayden, she had scholarships to many schools, the ranch was doing great, she had an amazing boyfriend, and great friends. Then, as if the universe wanted to both make her life better and worse, he moved back. Kayden knew that someone was moving in the house across the street and meant to go say hi but was occupied by the ranch. Then, a few days later, she was leading Ani to his stall when she spotted a young man putting his two horses into their stalls. She thought she recognized him and was shocked when he turned and she realized it was Colton. Colton! Kayden rushed quickly to him and let him pull her into a tight hug. She was so happy to see him again and filled him in on everything. At first, she didn't tell him that she was dating Vincent but he found out later that night when the others came over to the ranch and Vincent kissed her before wrapping his arm around her waist. Of course, Colton was invited to her party on the 15th and to the beach house on June 29th. When the played Spin the Bottle, she had to kiss him and all the feelings she thought she had gotten over came rushing back in a flash. For the rest of the night, she tried to hide the feelings and kept close to Dakota and Vincent. She partly regretted inviting Colton to the beach house but knew she couldn't tell him he couldn't come; besides he was still her best friend. Though, Kayden feels torn between her childhood friend and her boyfriend, since she has feelings for both, and now one of her friends, Miss Actress, is acting very hostile to her and she has no idea why. Though, Kayden is strong and is determined to make this all work.

I moved to Woodfront when my mom was pregnant with my sister Abby. We had moved because my mom got sick a lot in the city, and the doctor recommended moving to the country. So we left Virginia and moved to the middle of nowhere. For awhile, since my dad couldn't get a job out here, he stayed with an old family friend while we moved out to the house he bought and paid for. As luck would have it, mom did start getting better, and life was pretty average.
It was the summer of grade three moving into grade four when we got settled, and my dad came back halfway through the summer, a new job in some real estate business. I met the gang at a park once, and when school started up, we were inseparable. Colton was annoying, but since he was friends with everyone else and was there long before I was, I never said anything. Drama was something I didn't want. For most of fourth grade, I had a crush on Miss Actress, but it disappeared before fifth grade rolled around. By the time middle school started, I was noticing Kayden more and more.
When I was old enough, I began babysitting my siblings more and got more interested in horses just before high school began. It was kind of to find a way to actually tolerate Colton, but more so a way to spend more time with Miss Cowgirl, a long time affection. As grade nine started, my baby sister Abbigail began kindergarten. I had to drop her off every morning -- we were in walking distance of the schools -- before I did my brother Danny and finally arrived at school in time for class. Don't get me wrong, I love those two to death, and we're really close, but on some mornings I would've preferred more time in the morning to hang out with everyone else. After that year, I had hit the jackpot, Colton left! As mean as it was, we just couldn't get along. It didn't matter what happened, the animosity and tension couldn't disappear.
Once he left, it was obvious Kayden was upset, but I have to admit it was nice to hang out with her without him hovering. It was the beginning of our sophomore year when Mister Brother convinced me to join the football team. He literally taught me everything I know about the sport. An 'A' in gym class wasn't exactly enough for the team, so I ended up staying over at the Shephard house more than mine. I built up a lot of muscle that year, and actually started having a rep and good friends outside our group. The team's awesome, but it's not something I want to make a career of. I began my interest in law sometime in eleventh grade, so, unlike Mister Brother, sports was more of a past time than a priority.
Late, but better than never, I asked her out in May of our senior year. We've been dating since. Shortly after we started going out, Miss Actress started acting weird. It was like she just snapped. I've been avoiding her like death, and I really wish she'd just let up on Kayden. I thought at Kayden's party, she'd lighten up, but not so much.
During spin the bottle, I had to kiss Remember, but I would have liked it better if it was my girl. Afterwards, since Mister Childhood Friend moved back, he kissed Kayden when the bottle landed on the two, and I think he enjoyed it a little too much. Once that game finished I went with Remember, the ever hostile Miss Actress and Mister Druggie to play truth or dare. I haven't spoken with my girlfriend about what we did, but it wasn't like anything happened. Unfortunately, I never had the chance to ask my elementary crush why she was being so rude. I hope she isn't like that at the summer house.

Dakota was born in Tennessee, on a large horse ranch that was owned by a famous show jumper, who won the Rolex and got an Olympic gold. Her parents were trainers for Jodi Griffin, star rider and dedicated horsewoman. They were Jodi's favorites. They lived in a larger house on the ranch, and lived and breathed horses. All that couldn't help but rub off on Dakota. Dakota was allowed in the barn only when her mother or father was there with her, but she tottered about sometimes purposely unnoticed, because she was the grooms' and riders' favorite. She was loved by horse and rider alike. She was nibbling on horse treats when she was two, and then on apples and carrots when she was three. Her first ride was on a pony called Starstruck, who was as old as dirt and experienced as the saddle that rode him. Dakota was a natural. She had perfect balance, even at her young age af three and a half. Sam was the star of the arena when she rode. She was truly inspiring.
Dakota competed in her first show on a Thoroughbred gelding named Kryptonite. He was a large black horse, a great jumper, and an excellent mover. Dakota had Kryptonite wrapped around her finger. No one could get that huge horse to move like she could. At the show, it was only her, her parents, and a groom. That was it. No one knew where she came from or who's horse she was riding. She was taunted and teased because of her size compared to her horse's size. But they were all proved wrong when she was in the ring. She moved so gracefully, so elegantly with her horse that she was the obvious blue ribbon winner. She only competed in two classes: equitation and jumping. Ignoring everyone around her, Dakota honed in on the jumps on Kryptonite and cleared every one of them with feet to spare. For a seven year old, she was pretty darn good. She ended up taking home all blues, but not before everyone learned who her trainer was. Jodi showed up in the middle of her jumping class, and was able to see the flawless perfection of her youngest rider's performance. Stunned, everyone soon realized that young Dakota was trained by Olympic gold medalist Jodi Griffin. No wonder she was amazing!
Dakota pretty much lived and breathed horses after that, just like her mother and father. They coached her and Jodi taught her, and soon, by the age of fourteen, Dakota was riding at an advanced, if not expert, level. She was in love with English riding, and was never going to give it up. When Dakota was in high school, she was the head of the equestrian riding team and took all the equine and animal sciences classes. Dakota had known the moment she was around horses that she was going to be a vet, and Jodi embraced her ambition. Jodi and the vet taught Dakota basic first aid, then how to recognize everything, down to the littlest poison to the most deadly disease. Dakota was immersed in these sciences, and she probably saved more than one horse with her knowledge. Her parents were very proud of their little girl, nonetheless. For her fifteenth birthday, Jodi, the trainers, the grooms, and most of all, her parents, presented Dakota with a breathtakingly beautiful red Arabian chestnut mare. Top bloodlines, world champion, and potential Olympian. Only Jodi and the ranch could have managed this. The mare's name was Magic's Amber Dancer. Immediately falling in love with the mare, Dakota spent every waking minute training her and riding her. Out on the trails, practicing dressage, flatwork, jumping, everything! Needless to say, Amber was a true champion. Every show that Dakota took Amber to, they won blue and gold. They were invincible as a team. Amber loved Dakota, Dakota loved Amber. And nothing could change that.
But something did. And it wasn't just something that blows over in time. The county had passed a law on horse ranches, and since Jodi's was the only one around, they were bought out. Jodi and all of the horses, her most trusted grooms, and everything she owned cleared out. That meant Dakota's beloved Amber, and the filly she was training: Arizona Sunset, a palomino Arabian. Dakota was devastated. She and her family drove out the night that Jodi and her troupe left. Dakota was left with only her personal belongings: a supple black regular English saddle, a Stubben brown jumping saddle, and a Rolex dressage saddle. Matching bridles went with each. Four sets of black, navy, and hunter green huntcoats, breeches, tall boots, helmets, everything that a professional English showman- or woman- needed. And none of it would be of use. Dejected, lonely, and her life holding nothing, Dakota and her family entered Montana. They moved into their new house, but the loss of her two horses hurt too much to even put up pictures and posters of her and her horses, of Jodi, of the ranch. Of her old life.
But that changed. Dakota's father started a new job at a blooming tack shop in the town. He sold, made, and fitted English and Western saddles. He was the tack man of the town. He was popular for his work, and their finances bloomed. And to make matters worse? Their house didn't even allow room for horses. It just hurt Dakota more than anything. Through the months, Jodi had been sending Dakota updates on Amber's and Arizona's training and show status. Arizona was a spunky mare, and only the most professional of the group could ride her. Amber, like always, was easygoing and held her blues. Dakota missed her horses dearly. But one day, something different happened. After Dakota's phone call update with Jodi, she asked for Dakota's address. Confused, Dakota gave it to her. Jodi sounded excited, for some reason. Dakota hung up the phone and explained it to her parents, who were just as lost as they were. Two days later, a trailer with the name of Jodi's ranch pulled up. Dakota's two favorite grooms, Brandon and George, hopped out of the truck. Without a word, the opened the trailer, and there they were. Arizona and Amber were standing in the trailer, and in the tack room was a new set of saddles and tack for each horse. The horses were unloaded and Dakota's parents set to work on finding a stable to board at. Dakota hated not having her horses at her home, but who cared?! Dakota's dreams were back- her horses were home! The grooms handed Dakota- not her parents, but Dakota- the bill of sales for each horse. They were hers! Not Jodi's, but hers! Jodi had given the two horses to Dakota once they were settled, because she knew about her Olympic dreams. And now they had a chance of coming true!
Dakota's parents looked into a stable near their new home, and luckily found one. The grooms had left the trailer with them, since it was Jodi's kindness that had gotten them that far. The grooms were on a plane back to Tennessee, and Dakota's father drove Dakota and her horses to the ranch. When they arrived, Dakota was taken aback by it. It was a Western ranch, yes, but it was for rescue horses. Dakota timidly brought her horses out, followed the hands, and got her horses settled. She left her tack in the trailer, which was allowed to stay at the ranch. It was then when Dakota noticed a girl about her age, riding around. Dakota smiled shyly, watching her, then turned away and followed her father back to the truck. The next day at school, Dakota was the new girl. She sat at the back of all her classes, but was always the one who volunteered answers- all correct. Dakota was proud of her 4.0 GPA throughout her whole school career, and it would guarantee a place in the highest ranked veterinary college in the world. That was Dakota's dream college. Dakota noticed the same girl she'd seen at the ranch in many of her classes, but stayed on the outside, since everyone- including the girl- was in their own little cliques. Dakota was used to being an outsider, but also knew that, with time, she'd make friends. And she was right! The girl she'd seen in the stable approached her at school and introduced herself. They got to know one another during the day, and clicked by the time the day was up. They both loved horses, Dakota was an expert English rider, Kayden was an expert Western rider. They say opposites attract, right? Kayden introduced Dakota to her friends, and Dakota , since she was shy, stayed by Kayden and didn't say much. But after a few days, Dakota started to open up to her new life and friends. She was invited to Kayden's party, and was probably the first one there, since she'd been riding with Kayden all day. Not bothering to go home and change, she went with Kayden to her party in breeches, a Rolex snug tee, and tall boots. But hey, that's what Dakota wore every day! At the party, she got to know Colton, Kayden's good friend from childhood, a lot better. She became good friends with him and found that they both liked horses. Well, more like loved. Horses were Dakota's life. Horses were Colton's life. And obviously, horses were Kayden's life. Yet Dakota couldn't help but notice that Kayden stayed by her and Vincent's side almost all night, as if something was wrong. Working with horses, reading their emotions, and controlling her own had made her very keen to her friends' moods and feelings. She didn't ask Kayden about it, but hopes that, if she wants to talk or needs help, Dakota will always be there for her.
Did we miss anything?
Dakota sometimes underestimates her own ability about her skills with horses. She often talks with Jodi, and misses the brilliant woman greatly.▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄

Colton was born in Montana, in the small town on Woodfront. He was born into a middle class family on the outskirts of town, not very far away from a horse ranch that rescued and rehabilitated horses. Colton's parents had three horses of their own: two Quarter horses and one Belgian. The Quarter horses were named Melody and Magic, the Belgian Clover. Colton was out and about, tottering among the horses as soon as he could walk. He especially loved Melody, a pretty bay mare. But Clover, the Belgian, claimed him as his own. Colton developed a strong bond with all three horses, but rode Melody and Clover the most. Magic was more his mother's horse. Colton was a natural with horses. He had a calming presence among them, and loved each and every one of them, flaws and all. He particularly loved rodeo and speed events. His family was well knitted among the horsepeople of the town- and that's how Colton met her.
He had been at a rodeo, competing in the mini barrel racing when he saw her. He'd seen her around the school halls, noticing how smart she was. He'd seen her around his house, since he lived so close to the ranch her family owned. He had just finished his race on Melody, with a time of 16 seconds. Good time for a ten year old. Being the naive and childish boy that he was, he wandered over to her, leading Melody. He said hi, asked what she liked to do, yaddah yaddah yaddah. They clicked almost instantly, and from then on were best friends. They rode together, did homework together, and got other people to join their group together. Colton and Kayden were the two first people in the group. He's been her best friend since day one. Nothing could seperate them.
But no one said anything about mothers. Colton's mother was having an affair with a man in her office. It had been going on for six months before Colton's father found out. Infuriated, he filed for divorce immediately. It was Colton's sophomore year in high school. His friends were all around, but Colton kept the divorce a secret from anyone- but Kayden. Since she knew him so well, she knew something was off. Colton eventually caved in and told her, but asked her to promise to keep it a secret. A month later, Colton was yanked from school and moved to New York. Colton, and his father had to sell his horses. All three of them. His mother took Magic, but Colton lost Melody and Clover, his two favorites. Colton and his father had a townhouse in New York, in Manhattan, but it wasn't enough. Colton longed for his old horses and friends. He had only stayed in contact with one- Kayden. He wasn't going to lose her. She'd been in his life for so long, he wasn't going to let her slip away. He called her weekly and was always curious as to how her riding, horses, and everythhing else was going, but it wasn't enough. He wanted to see her again.
Then it changed. Colton's father dropped a bomb on him. They were moving back! Colton's father's company was re-hiring, and they had asked him to be manager! Thrilled, Colton decided not to tell anyone- even Kayden. Colton's father bought a house across the street from Kayden's ranch, only three doors away from their old house. Unfortunately, there was no place for horses. But it was a good thing that Kayden's ranch was across the street! Days later, Colton and his father rolled up into the driveway of their new house. Resisting the urge to go across the street to Kayden's house, Colton decided to wait until the next few days. The house brought old and raw memories: the loss of his horses, the loss of his friends. But he didn't waste a second. Already looking into new horses, he found two perfect horses for himself- a record barrel racer, Autumn's Call, a chestnut Morgan, and an ideal cutting horse, Dances on Black Snow, a leopard appaloosa.
Sneaking an idea, Colton made a call. Since their new house phone wasn't registered, and Colton could disguise his voice very well, he called Kayden's house. When someone answered, he sounded very much like a prospective leaser. He set the prices, the dates, and all the necessary dealings. Two days later, he left to pick up his horses. An hour later, he pulled up in the ranch's driveway. He was met by Kayden's mother, who led him up to the barn. He put Autumn and Snow in adjoining stalls, and they happened to be next to Kayden's horses. As he out Snow in her stall, he turned and there she was. Standing right there, and his surprise worked. He quickly swept her up in a hug, then started asking her about everyone. Later on, he went to party with her and had to kiss her during Spin the Bottle. It set his feelings on fire for her, but he still keeps them hidden.

She knows her parents are the designers, but what Remember really enjoys doing is actually the whole tech-part of the set. She has an eye for lighting and prop placement, plus she loves bossing the others around to get things perfect

When will Mister Druggie realize her eyes are only set for him? Maybe she has to get Mister Childhood Friend's attention before she can catch her real crush's

From birth I have had a pretty glamorous life. My parents own and are the founders of 'Walking on Air'. They started the business five years before Mom became pregnant with you. They wanted to raise their child in a friendly, well-off life by getting by on the clothes they designed, which started out to be maternity clothes. After two years and being featured in Peoples Weekly twice and in Motherhood four times sales skyrocketed. Both of my parents have a bachelors and masters degree. Dad has his masters in law, Mom has hers in fashion designing, with each having the bachelors in business. They met in the same school they graduated from, University of Phoenix, though Mom completed her Fashion degree at Academy of Art University in California after they were married. They decided to advance onto womens clothing and teen clothing, bridal gowns and prom dresses. Walking on Air had released males clothing, but my mother hated it and recalled everything.
Flashing forward nineteen years and here I am at sixteen. I model clothing for Abercrombie and David's Bridal, staying away from my parents business so no one can say I was chosen just because of my lineage. I tried to get into Runway, but it really doesn't interest me. If I wanted to starve myself dead, I would become a ballerina. I like my curves, and I'd rather not lose what the breast-fairy gave me. Besides, if I'm really to become the next owner and designer of Walking on Air, then I don't need to model.
As a young girl, of course I was exposed to the same environments as other people my age. I befriend the most sincere and devious actress who is now my best friend, and am in a clique of my own. I love my friends more than anything, but recently things have gotten...different...between us. Miss Actress and I are closer than ever, but Miss Kayden and I.... She's still my friend, but I refuse to hurt my bestfriend. And forget Miss New Girl. Why? She gets on my last nerves.
