I opened the door of the office and stepped inside, thankful for the warmth. As I walked up to the main desk, I looked around. There were pictures of showjumpers everywhere. I found myself smiling a little. Finally, a place where people actually understood! I smirked to myself, imagining the look on my Dad's face if he saw this place. He wanted me to be a lawyer. Seriously. As if I'd join his pathetic law firm just because I was his son. I'd much rather be at a place like this. Horses were my life, even if I didn't tell a lot of people that. Looking around again, I decided that Sadie would love it here. She was the most perfect horse ever. She could do anything, I swear. I know, a lot of people say that their horse is the best. But mine really was. She could jump, she could do dressage, she could teach beginners, she could compete at a professional level. The perfect mare, really. I turned back to the desk.
"Hi, I'm Christopher Shaw. I'd like to board and take lessons here, as well as board my mare Sadie."
Hey, I could be polite. I was only a jerk to people who didn't understand horses. So, basically everyone I'd ever known.

I looked around at him, my brown hair crawling down my straight back from riding so much.
"Oh, helloooo," I said, I didn't like that I sounded so boring but I did. At least I was nice with it, "Yeees, IIII seeee, youuuuu caaaan haaaaave doooorm ooooooone aand Saaaaadieee caaaan haaaave staaaableee oooooneee,"
"AAAAAAAND leeeeesssoooonnn wwwiiiissseeee, jjjuuuusssttt ggggooo tttttooooo ttthhheeeee iiiindooooorrrr aaaareeeennnna wwwhhheeeeen yooouuur rrreeeaaadddyyy," I droned on like your physics teacher.

God. Could that greeting be any more boring?! I pasted a smile on my face. "Thanks," I said. Still, I was a little surprised. Was that really all there was to it? "Um, do I needa fill anything out or something?" I asked. I didn't really care if I did or not, frankly, I'd be happier if I could just go back to my horse. But sometimes these things needed to be done, and when it came to horses, I liked to make sure everything was done right.
Bahahaha yesssssssssssssssssss iittssss quuiiiiiiteeee funnn someeeetimeeeessssss xD )

"Noooooooooooooooooooooooo," I droned on and on, "Youuuuuuuuuuu jjjjuuuussssstttt nnnneeeeeddddd yyyyoooouuuurrrr kkkkkeeeeeeeyyyss,"
I handed him a pair of shining keys.
PAIGE
I galloped into the office - not on my horse - and pranced around until I saw that there were two people watching me, one of witch was the owner so I calmed down and went over to talk to the new person.
"Hey, I'm Paige," I said, waiting for their name.

"Cool, thanks," I said again, taking the keys. I turned to leave, and a psycho kid came running in. I raised one eyebrow and watched her til she came to a stop. "Uh, I'm Chris," I said when she introduced herself. I tried not to roll my eyes. I had no time for kids playing games; I wanted to focus on my horse. But I didn't wanna be rude either, so I smiled and tried to act sincere. "Nice to meet you." 'Not,' I added, but only in my mind.

I knew I'd made a fool of myself, but it's just me.
"err, hi, Chris," I said, "You know, I really must get going."
I walked out of the door and quickly ran to my horse.

Lana once again strolled in to the office, Scribble was on her way here and so far know one had reconized her. "Hey I'm Lana. You are?"she asked the guy that stood in the office. She might as well make friends here.

I smiled at the two making friends as I sat down behind my oak tree desk.

I started to leave after Paige, but yet another interruption walked in. I wasn't really a patient guy...And yeah, I was a douchebag. So instead of chatting for another half an hour (dude, is that seriously all girls DO?!), I gave a quick smile, a nod and a "Hi Lana, I'm Chris. Gotta run!" And so I did. I ducked out of the office, wondering for a second if I should have at least tried to be more polite. Oh well, couldn't worry about that now. (haha Chris is a jerk  ) |

Lana raised her eyebrows and sighed as Chris left. She too walked outside the office and to Scribbles stall.

I got out from my hiding place behind the wall and walked over to the girl.
"Hey, I'm Paige," I said, "Who're you?"

"I'm Lana and I own Scribble." Lana said carrefully hoping the girl, Paige wouldn't make a connection to her and the Olyimpic Trials last year. Scribbles had to keep her barn name instead of her show name for a precaution, so know one reconized them.

I noticed both Paige and Lana talking to each other, so I walked over to them. "Hey guys, I'm sorry if I acted like a jerk back in the office. I'm new here and I just wanted to go see my horse." I stepped back and waited. If they accepted my apology, that was good. Yeah, I'd probably end up being a jerk again later, but for now I wanted to make some friends. But if they didn't accept my apology, well...I wouldn't be too cut. I still had Sadie after all, and she was the only one I really needed.

I watched as Chris came back down.
"It's Ok," I said and looked at the pictures Lana had got out, "I'd go for the last one because it's a double whammy but they all look really nice!"
"I ride Rosie," I told her as she asked and wondered if Rosie would mind me wasting her riding time to talk to these people. I thought not because she had already been ridden once today.
