"Brit, in my office now! The rest of you please untack and cool down your horses than come to my office." Mr. Connor said to us, then looked to me. "Sasha please take care of Apollo as well." I nodded and led Charm over to Apollo. The two horses sniffed each other and immediately Apollo calmed down. I took Apollo's reins and guided the two horses over to Heather and Alison who had their heads bent together in conversation.

"I can't believe she did that". I heard Alison say.
"Brit is going to be off the YENT." I said almost screaming. I was still shocked about what had happened.
"Omigosh! She could! That's a major possibility." Heather said.
"Well I am going to go find out what Mr. Connor wants". Alison said.
I followed her into the Stables, then walked over to Apollo's stall first.
"Hey Sasha, I just saw Brit walking to Mr. Connor s office crying. What happened?" Callie asked me as she took Charm s reins so I could untack Apollo.
"Well Brit got a phone call today from Apollo's owner saying that she was selling him and that he is leaving next week." I began to tell her as I stroked Apollo's mane. "She was all upset about it and she is just frustrated. She took out her anger on Apollo". I said as I walked out of Apollo's stall and latched the door shut. "Mr. Connor came in and saw her acting so terrible, and I think Brits in trouble."

"OMIGOSH! That doesn't sound like Brit at all. She must be really upset." Callie said.
I nodded "Thanks for holding Charm."

"I can put Apollo's tack away for you also". Callie told me as she walked away with the tack.I untacked Charm and put his tack away with record time. I was almost out of breath when I got to the door of Mr. Connors office where Heather and Alison stood.
"Silver, you look like you ran a marathon." Heather said. I brushed the comment off and knocked on the door.
"You may come in." My instructor told us. Heather walked in first, followed by Alison, then me. I stood next to Brit who had a tissue in her hand. Mr. Connor was sitting behind his huge mahogany desk.

"Sasha, Heather, and Alison. I would first like to thank you for coming. As you know something happened today. A horse was put in danger for personal reason that should have been out the door when you got on the horse. Brit you are extremely lucky that Apollo wasn't hurt, as I told you before. I want to talk to each of you personally to find out what lead to Brits behavior. Alison, I would like to speak to you first. The rest of you please sit outside my office." We all agreed. I walked outside and sat on the bench.
"Brit, how could you do that to Apollo? You put him in danger! What were you trying to prove? He is STILL your horse."Heather questioned Brit.
"Heather stop" I insisted.
"No I won t stop. You did a stupid thing Brit. You could possibly get kicked off the YENT. And you know what I will be glad to have you off the team. I don t want anyone who treats a horse like that on my team. You were just as bad as Jasmine. I don t even want to look at you!"Heather's voice was silent, but harsh. She stormed out of the room. Brit started crying her eyes out.
"Brit..." I started to say but Brit cut me off.
"Don't talk to me Sasha. Everything Heather said was true." Brit admitted through whimpers.
Alison came out and asked where Heather was. Before I could tell her, Heather appeared and stormed into Mr. Connors office.
No one said a word as Alison sat down beside me. The minutes seemed to tick by like hours. Heather finally walked out of the office and told me it was my turn. I reluctantly walked into the office.
"Sasha, can you tell me what happened today?" Mr. Connor asked me. I recited the story for what seemed like the billionth time about how about how Apollo is getting sold and how crushed Brit was. After I finished Mr. Connor dismissed me and told me to ask Brit to come in. I walked outside to find Heather and Alison where on one bench and Brit was on the other. "Brit, Mr. Connor wants you." I told her. Brit sat there for a moment, and I thought she hadn't heard me, but then she got up and slowly trekked into Mr. Connor's office.
"Heather, why did you say all that stuff to Brit? I think you really hurt her." I told Heather, trying to keep my voice calm.
"Well the truth hurts!"Heather said. "Look, it's almost curfew I am going back to my dorm." As Heather was about to leave the door to Mr. Connors office opened.
"Well Heather you got your wish! I am temporally off the YENT till further notice and I am banned from riding for a week! So I thank you." Brit told Heather. She sounded so angry, like she wanted to cry and get into a fight all in one.
"Thank me for what?" Heather asked.
"If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be banned from riding."

"I didn t make you freak out on your horse."Heather protested.
"Guys stop fighting."I told them as I tried to pull Brit out of the stable to our dorm.
"Be quite Sasha! You aren't helping anything" Brit yelled at me, pulling her arm out of my grasp. I was about to cry. Not because of the stuff Brit said but because Brit said it.
"Brit, I understand what you are going through. You are upset. Just calm down! Let's go back to the dorm."I said to Brit trying to calm her down.
"NO you don't will never be taken away from you! No! I am not going anywhere with you! Find somewhere else to sleep!" Brit said as she stormed out of the office.
"You can stay with us." Alison told me laying her hand on my shoulder.
"Thanks." I was in shock. All I could think was that I just lost another good friend of mine.
What do you guys think so far? Please comment. I will hopefully be writing more soon!
