“Oi, you,” I heard the voice behind me. I sighed, really not in the mood. It was very early on my second day here and I had just finished cleaning out the stall of Lily’s horse before I got started on my own.
“Yes?” I asked, quite politely considering. I turned around and gasped. Behind me was Lily, the Head Girl and she stood with Zak on her arm. It was wrapped around her protectively but I couldn’t help wondering if it would warm her up on this cold September’s day. Lily swished her golden locks behind her shoulder before replying, “You haven’t finished with my stable yet. Get on with it and make it perfect, I’m not letting my horse stand in soiled hay.” I clenched my fists with anger: I knew she hadn’t seen the stable yet because I hadn’t seen anyone pass me. This was her trying to force me to go back and do more work. “I have finished with your stable and if it isn’t up to your perfect standards then you can fix it,” I said. I had a moment of excitement as I saw her pretty features turn red with anger and embarrassment. “Now see here,” said Zak, his arm tightening around Lily. Lily reached into Zak’s pocket and pulled out a little card, “Detention every night for the rest of term for cheek. You can do my horses to make sure that they’re up to my perfect standards.” Damn it. Detention. With a mutter of, “Ok” I stormed off to Cross Country where we spent a lesson looking at the various routes through the water complex and trying them out. When it was my go I took it at a trot and was still burning with rage about what Lily had said. I didn’t have time to be in detention. Urgg the injustice of this world… SPLOSH! Without encouragement to go forward, Alka had decided to stop in the middle of the complex and have a drink, letting me slip forwards over his neck. I was too zoned out to stop myself and there was that fighting moment when it was just water and blackness. Then I stood up. “Kate, are you alright?” Pauline (the XC instructor) asked. I nodded, freezing but alive. Alda’s big eyes looked at me innocently as if he was saying, “I only wanted a drink.” Pauline must have seen me shiver because she said, “Go back to your dorm and get yourself dry.” Once again, I nodded and ran back to the dorm, my dignity remained non existent. Why me? This really wasn’t my day, was it? I guess it’s the Foster effect. One bad thing leads to another and it gets worse and worse and worse each time. I changed clean clothes and had a tea. Tomorrow better be better.
