When me and my dad pulled into my new school I was shocked. It is a massive ranch carved out of the dark boreal forest, the biggest shock was the massive grey wolf that was in the middle of the small gravel road that led up to the ranch. I was on my phone texting my sorta-boyfriend Paul who would also be at this new school. This school was started ten years ago, it's a high school with regular classes but it runs from the first of April to the 15th of October. It also has turned out champions of the NFR in every event at least three times. We pulled up to the barn and I saw Paul jog across the see me.
"Hey babe"
"Im not your babe"
" oh ouch Karisa"
"Get over it"
I walked away and unloaded my blue roan mare named lady she was the perfect barrel horse. Tall but still stout enough to turn. I released her into her stall, I walked out to see dad back our 2016 Ford F-250 and brand new featherlight trailer. Well I shouldn't say our it really is mine, ok I get it we are wealthy I'm from Texas where my dad owns a oil company. Lady is a purebred quarter horse worth $50 000. I hate bragging on my parents money but it definitely has its benefits. I watched a jacked up dodge 2500 with a deck, big tires, lift kit, snorkel, light bars, bumper.... It was definitely a rednecks truck. The guy who jumped out was probably 6'3 and probably 185lbs. He led out two beautiful horses, one was a shiny black mare the other was a stunning bay gelding who was closer to red than bay. I was pretty knowledgeable about horses and these looked like high performance cutting horses. I started over when Paul and his friend Braden walked over, these to were also rich but flaunted it using it to make other kids feel lesser about themselves. I did hate that, more than anything but Paul was smoking hot and you don't throw that away.

I walked into the dorms and met my room mate, she was a tallish blonde girl named Ashley. She was very pretty, a Manitoba farm girl who was very into barrel racing, goat tying and breakaway roping. Although she could be really intense she seemed to love hitting on guys, a passion we both shared. Just after meeting we already had 8 guys sitting in our room falling all over us. So all in all good first day.
