The life of an american teenager

Practice and failure

I have been waiting for this for years, the town is finally having another rodeo. I take my phone out of my pocket and look at my contacts until i find mom. Before i could click it my mom calls. I answer.

"Hey mom, i was just about to call you actually."

"Oh well, i hope you weren't at school yet, because it was canceled. There was terrible graffiti all over the school. So they called and said no school for the next few days. So have fun. "

"Will do, I'm just gonna take Aphrodite and ride her along the trails behind our summer house."

"Alright, don't go far."

"Alright mum, see ya tonight."

The line hangs up and i smile, my mouth goes into a teethy smile. "Ready girl?"

         I walk into Aphrodite's stall and brush her down, pick her hooves, and saddle her up nice and tight.
