A/N I uploaded on Friday as well, so if you were checking every Sunday you may have missed a bit. From now on, I’m uploading every Sunday and Friday.
“So, we’re on the highway to hell?” I voiced my thoughts out loud for the benefit of the rest of the class. “Yup…” Ali said gloomily. We all carried our books and pencil cases in a bag with the leaf crest of the centre on the side. They were brand new (we’d been given them at lunch) and so we were all so proud of walking to the library (where the school work took place) with them. When we arrived, a man (who introduced himself as Mr Throne) asked us all to take a seat. Pulling out the chairs (with much debate over who sat where), we finally decided on a girls table and a boys table. Ali nestled herself next to me and Alice perch opposite. Then it was time to get our teeth into 4 hours of school. Yes, it was hell. Finally, the last binomial expansion was solved and it was time for our stuff to be gathered and for us to leave. Almost tripping over each other in our haste to leave (and one boy actually did trip over, leading to a lot of people screaming “ohhhhhhh”), we bundled ourselves out of the door into the sun. Squinting in the light, we all raced to the stable (most of our hadn’t bothered to change out of our riding stuff). It was almost a race to mount up onto our horses. And then, we rode. Fields flashed by as Alka moved beneath me. This was the true meaning of horse riding. One movement, one heart, as you both moved through the fields. I allowed myself a fleeting glance at Ali, her hair danced in the wind; her eyes laughed in the sun. Someone said once that if I met someone from Valedale, I’d know. It was true. Just the way that they were as a person. Something about them. Not that they were super nice or some kind of hippie. They were just them. We all followed the boy that had spoken back to Tyra earlier. He jumped a wall and we all followed, covering the short distance to the village in no time. All too soon, we were leaving our horses with Steve. Walking into Silverglade Village was amazing. It was nothing like the UKs open plan villages. First, it was tiny. Only 10 houses at most. It was all bricked in with a wall that clearly wasn’t used as a defence anymore as it was falling apart. “Here,” Liv said smiling, “The fashion barn. Everyone who’s anyone shops for clothes here.” The other girls (and a few boys) started chatting excitedly about the shop so I stood there, pretending I had heard of it before. “Mummy and Daddy buy me everything from Jorvik City and get it shipped to Epona,” Elysia boasted, scornful off the little shop. The Fashion Barn didn’t match any of the other shops in the village at all. They were quaint and it was loud and out there. I popped in for a bomber jacket before purchasing some Jorbear sweets and Jorcola from a near by shop. I had survived my first day at the school!

Hello!Welcome to my little space on the large internet where I can share my thoughts, views and fanfics! I am you 'normal' teenaged girl, who loves writing, gaming and horses. I've played Star Stable online since 1st June 2014 and I am currently a level 20 player on Cupcake Valley where I hang about with Frosty Roses and my 18 pixel horses! Disclaimer: All images and anything else to do with this blog are taken in the game Star Stable Online produced by Star Stable Entertainment AB. I have nothing to do with Star Stable and own none of their graphics. But I can tell you it is a great game and you should play it!
