Jamie sat out in the paddock with Ruby grazzing near her. About 5 other horses were in the paddock but not near the two. Jamie read aloud to the pony and every so often Ruby would lift her head and whinny to the girl. Jamie smiled at her.
((sorry crappy))

Ruby lifted her head when she saw the other girl. Grass hanging out of her mouth. She whinnied at her then went back to grazing. Jamie looked over, but then began to read again.
"Look out!" cried Arden's big brother Tim. "A snake!" Arden froze. A long grey snake slithered across their path, just missing her sneaker. "Don't worry," Gran said. "He's harmless. Probebly just on his way to the pond." The snake slipped quickly into the forest and Arden let herself breathe again. That's the way it always was when they were visiting their grandparents - neber a dull moment! It was only nine o'clock in the morning, and Arden and her two brothers had already seen a trained bear, a baby elephant and a snake!
Her voice was full of expresion and she made almost no mistakes when reading. She didn't really like people listening to her reading, but she wasn't going to stop. Ruby seemed to like it.

She stood watching.
How cute it was for the child to be like that.
She herself had never been sp affectionate when she was that age.

Ruby lifted her head and looked over at the other girl again. She walked slowly over, the sun glinting off her smooth coat. Jamie put the book down and watched her walk to the other girl. She knew the girl as her room mate. The one who didn't seem to like her sisters. She smiled as she watched Ruby go over.

As the horse neared her, Nicole put out her hand.
She patted the horse, then led it over to Jamie.

Jamie smiled as she let Ruby back over. Ruby was more than happy to go. She kept nudging her pockets looking for treats. As they came close Jamie smiled at her. Thanks. She said to her. She knew that Nicole didn't know her name as she hadn't said so in the dorm. She felt sorry for her having to share a room with her and her sisters. She was used to them, but she guessed that Nicole wouldn't be.

"No problem. By the way, are your sisters always like that?"
she asked. They pissed her ass off so much!

Well, Jenna isn't normally that bad, but Jane is. I'm Jamie. She said to her. Ruby went back to grazing near the two and soon the fat little shetland, Trouble, came trotting over. She sniffed both girls pockets then stuck her nose in Jamie's backpack and pulled out a carrot. Jamie shooed her away and she went over to bother Nicole. Jamie took the backpack everywhere. It pretty much just had water, a few things incase of an emrergancy, e.g. bandage, disinfectand, wire cutters, a small pocket knife, and some water. There were also treats for the horses. Everything was kept so that it couldn't do any harm.

"I'm Nicole. They kind of annoy me..." she added, ignoring the pony, although patting it on the head.

Jamie shrugged. She knew that was true. How old are you? She asked.
((sorry again crappy. No muse))

Yeah. She said smiling. Paige walked towards them with Jane and Jenna following slowly. Jamie tilded her head to the side giving her a hint that someone was coming.
