CHAPTER 1:
Ginger Tucker woke up at the usual time, 6:30. She grabbed a towel out of the clset and ran into the bathroom. She had to get a shower before her sister because Gina always took a celebrity shower. She Quickly got a shower and ran back to ger room. She pulled on a pair of jeans and a fittied black adn white striped shirt. She then pulled on her jean jacket. She ran to teh kitchen and got her normal cup of morning coffee. She couldn't survive the day without coffee. She poured her a bowl of Cocoa Pebbles and gulped them down. She heard her sister finally get out of the bed. It was 7:00. She went back to her room and brused out her long blondish brown curly hair. She then added hairspray so the curly hair didn't frizz. She looked in the mirror. Her icy bluish green eyes popped out once she added a bit of black eyeliner. She put on light eyeshadow and went to put on her shoes.
By 7:20 she was ready to leave. Gina was still in the shower. Ginger to into her navy blue Chevy 1500. It was extended cad with back seat. And a extended back. She loved her truck. It was a present form her parents for her 16th birthday. Gina had a red mustnag convertible. But Ginger wanted a truck. She was ore tomoyish and wanted somethinf bigger.
Ginger turned on hte engine and left her driveway. HEr parents btoh left at sx in teh morning. So tehy were long gone.
Ginger drove to Troup High School, Home fo the Tigers. She was a Junior and onlyhad one year left. It was May, only 2 weeks left. Gina was graduating this year. She parked her truck and got out. She went out in front of the door that lead to the band room. She was in the MArching Band. But the season was over. All of her friends were out there. She played Tenor Saxophone. She had been Section leader for the past two years. She loved Marching Band. She went to her friend Katie, who was a Tigerette (color guard). She was Captain. She was a wanderful dancer. She also played Clarinet in Concert Band.
School went by so slowly that day. She hated the end of the year. It seemed like it would never end. inger was sitting in Pre-Cal. Her best friend, Kenlie Donaldson was sitting next to her. She loved going to Kenlie's house. She had a horse ranch. They were mainly jumpers but they had a few western horses also. Actually, she was going over there that afternoon. Kenlie was a Senior. She was gradutaing in two weeks but leaving in one. She had an offer to jokey in Kentucky. She had always wasnted to be a jockey.
Ginger had never done extreme riding. She and Kenlie had sometimes gone on trail rides. But that was Western. She had never ridden english.
After school was over Ginger drove over to Kenlie's house. She lvoed htere house. It was huge.
"Hey Mr. Donaldson," Ginger said when she walked into the door behind Kenlie.
"Hey Ging. Are you and Kenlie riding today?" Mr. Donaldson asked.
"Umm, I don't think so. I think she is staying inside to pack. And I'm going to go look at the horses. She wants me to see Magisty's foal,"I replied. Magisty was a solid white quarter horse. She was teh horse Ginger usually rode trail riding. But she had gotten pregnant with Buddy. Buddy was a high strung Quarter horse. He was tall and solid black. Kenlie wouldn't say what color the foal was though. Ginger was excited to see it.
"Well, some on. I'll take you out there," Kenlie;s dad told her.
Ginger followed the tall brunette dad back through the top paddock. They then went into the second of the seven stalls. Also known as the mother baby barn. It gad ten HUGE stalls in it. Each stall had a door that slid through the middle so when teh baby was weaning it could stil be by the motehr, but there was a stall wall between them.
They walked past several horses, They stopped at he last one. Nagisty was standing while a little gray filly nursed.
"Oh my gosh. She is so adorable!" Ginger screamed whens he saw the small horse came up to the stall door. It couldn';t reach it's head over it, but Ginger reached her hand in and petten it. It was a ligh silver gray color. She had markings on her face that looked just like an exclamation point.
"Look at those marking! What did you decide to name her?" Ginger asked. Mr. Donldson and her were rally good frends.
"Well, we haven't named her yet. We actually are going to sell her. I'm hoping that she can be boarded here. I raised Magisty's mother, her and I wanna see this little girl grow up too." Mr. Donaldson told Ginger with tears welling up in her eyes.
Ginger heard her sell phone ringing. She looked down.
"Hello."she answered.
"Hey Ginger. I need you to come home. Your dad got us reservations at the Basil Leaf tonight. He will be here in an hour to pick us up," Ginger heard her mom say.
"Ok, I'm leaving," Ginger siad then hung up the phone.
"Well, Mr. Donalson, I got to go. I'll definatly be back to see Her tomorrow. It id Firday so I have tomorrow out of school.
" No Problem. See you then,"
Ginger drove home thinking. What if she could have the baby. Magisty was her favorite horse there. Se wanted the fily soo bad. But there was no way she could possibly afford her. HEr boodlines were terrific. The past three generations on her mom and dad's sides were all pro rodeo horses. The filly would be atleast 20 thousands, minimum.
Ginger had told her parents about the filly all at dinner. When she went to bed she was still thinking of it. She even had the perfect name for her. The Wow Factor. Because of the exclamation point. It could be Factor or Tori for short. She liked Tori the best.
