Chapter 1: The Morning of
"Amy, sweetheart, wake up." I heard Lou's gentle voice as she gently shook me so that I would arise from my deep night hibernation. I groaned. Today was the big day. The day that I had been dreading for the entire summer. It was time to take the entire luggage that I had packed over the summer and head to a top notch boarding school in the states. I was terrified. I felt as if I was leaving my whole life behind, my family, friends; and most importantly my horses. I knew that they would be well taken care of, but still, things are different when it is your own horses that you are leaving. I opened my stormy grey eyes as I looked up at a smiling Lou. I was glad that she could be so happy and optimistic about the new school. What ever.
"Today is the day Ames!" Lou exclaimed
"Yippee?!" I shouted sarcastically
Lou frowned and rolled her eyes. After seeing that I rolled out of my warm and homey bed, Lou turned on her heel to go and start the pancakes. I grabbed my jeans and my blue plaid button down and headed for the bathroom. After taking my time in the shower, I quickly dried and dressed. I applied a light amount of makeup and was ready to go. I unlocked the door and opened it just to see a line waiting to use the bathrooms. "Good morning!" I said in a non chipper way. They all just stood there. Grandpa muttered something under his breath. Lisa sent me a fake smile. Mallory (who had spent my last night at home with me) gave me the death glare. I turned and walked towards the wonderful aroma that was coming from the kitchen.
As I walked into the kitchen I could feel the heat from the griddle that the pancakes were baking on. Lou smiled at me. I would miss her cooking and her warm morning smile. I shook the thought from my brain. "Focus, try to think about the things you won't miss." I thought to myself.
"Amy, would you like some pancakes?" Lou questioned
I smiled at her. She nodded and grabbed a late from the stack and put 3 pancakes on it. I grabbed the syrup as I retreated to the table to eat my breakfast. The rest of the family filed in one by one. I smiled at each of them and they all gave me their own unique morning glances. I was well on my way to the barn to do the chores by the time that they were all seated to eat their breakfast. I couldn't believe that I was really leaving to go to John Adams Boarding School (formerly for boys) to be apart of an experiment. 5 girls were accepted to attend the school. Amy was the last to be chosen. She had just been notified a few weeks ago. She still couldn't find out why she had been selected, after all, there were way smarter girls that went to her school alone. "At least Soraya is going to be there." Amy muttered to herself. She carried on with the morning trying to not think about what was coming in a couple of hours.
