Chapter 1
I was really excited for today. Today was the day I got my new horse.
Well... Looked at a horse that I'm considering buying.
I'm 14 and have loved horses since I was 4, but my dad never got me one.
I live with my dad because when I was 2, my mom ran off with another man. She left my dad to be a single father and raise me on my own. I'm an only child, though.
Well... Back to the point...
Just a couple weeks ago he decided I was mature enough to get a horse.
So we found these people online, that are giving away their horse for free, to a good home.
"Were almost there," My dad said quietly from the drivers seat.
I plastered a huge smile across my face and nodded.
"So you have the paper with their name on it with you?" I pulled a wrinkled piece of paper out of my pocket. It read The Beara Family. I held it up so my dad could see it. "Good, and tell them we are here to pick them up and take them to the stable that they currently board the horse."
I rolled my eyes. "The horse happens to have a name. And do you remember that name?" My dad shook his head.
He's a cool dad and all but he has a really bad memory...
"Well its Luna." Just as I said that we pulled into the driveway.
I hopped out and ran to the door.
I knocked lightly and a lady answered. She was actually kind of short, about 5 foot 2, and she had straight brownish/blondish hair.
"Hi, Im Jessica Heartman. Me and my dad are here to pick you guys up to go look at the horse. Are you ready?" I said as sweetly as possible.
She nodded. "Of course, dear. Just let me get my son."
Son? Why would her son come?
"DANIEL! COME ON! LETS GO!" The mum yelled.
Her smiled as she slipped on her shoes. "Well I haven't introduced myself! Im Maria Beara, and my son is Daniel." About 20 seconds of awkward silence between me and the mum, her son-Daniel-Came racing down the stairs.
I was just opening my mouth when he pushed past me and went outside.
I shrugged and followed.
I allowed the mum to have the front seat with my dad. Daniel hopped in the back and so did I.
It was a silent car ride-Well for me and Daniel. Our parents chatted the whole time-.
When we got out of the truck I ran up ahead to talk to Daniel. I tried to make eye contact, but he had his hood over his head so I couldn't see a thing.
When we got into the barn, the mum showed me the horse and I rode it for about 20 minutes.
I went up to my dad and whispered, "Dad this is the horse I want."
He nodded and asked the Maria If it was ok. She said yes and they said they would be back in an hour. They had to go over everything.
I walked over to Daniel, who was sitting on the fence.
I got up on it beside him. "Hey."
He was about to turn around, but didn't.
"Why are you talking to me?" He said, barely a whisper.
