Chapter 3

Around the beginning of October, I noticed a flyer on the bill board by the entrance of the school. It was a costume party for Halloween. I read through it and it sounded like a lot of fun. I grabbed a copy and went to show it to Sonny.

"Hey Sonny!" I greeted when I found her by our lockers.

"Hay is for horses. The word is Hi Chad. Get your facts straight!" She said sarcastically. I laughed.

"Ok hi then." I said playing along. This time she laughed.

"Guess what?" I said mysteriously.

"What?" she said in the same voice as me.

"I found an awesome flyer to a costume party! Wanna go?" I asked.

"Let me see the flyer first." She said. Then she grabbed it from me before I could refuse. She looked it over and pretended to be deep in thought.

"Hmmmmmmmm… I don't know… It depends…" she trailed off.

"On what?" I asked.

"Whether or not I can find a good enough costume or not," She said then smiled, "but I'm sure I can make-do."

"So does that mean you'll go?" I asked stupidly.

"No duh Einstein." She said sarcastically.

"What is it with you and sarcasm?!"

"It's my thing. Deal with it." She said. I laughed and we headed off to class.

Later on that day we were riding out on the road, when I got a brilliant idea.

"Hey Sonny follow me." I said as I turned Jake to the left and got him to trot.

"Okay…" she said unsurely as she copied me on Sandy, the horse she usually rode, "Where exactly are we going?" she asked.

"It's a surprise." I said mysteriously.

"Let me guess, it's a hidden place that nobody ever been but you and nobody knows about to your knowledge and you go there when your upset, excited or just need to be alone?" she responded.

"Maybe?"

"Uhuh… just show me." She said with a smile.

I smiled back and started trotting faster. After about five minutes of fast trotting I slowed down and started to weave a little bit between trees. Sonny followed me as best as she could. Pretty soon we came to an opening, and there in front of us was that meadow, or field whatever you want to call it, that I had discovered three years ago.

********************************FLASH*BACK*********************************

I was so upset when Hector (my Doberman pinscher that was given to me when I was two) died. I mounted Jake and started to canter down the road. I couldn't find anywhere to just sit down and cry, so I went off road. Still not being able to find anywhere, I started to weave through the redshank hoping there was a clearing nearby and that I wouldn't get lost. Suddenly Jake just stopped. I looked up and saw a beautiful vibrant green meadow. Jake liked it because he could graze. I tied him to a sturdy tree, sat down and cried until I couldn't cry anymore.

******************************END*FLASH*BACK*****************************

"Hello?" Sonny said waving her hand in front of my face and snapping me out of my reverie.

"Yeah sorry… I was just remembering the first time I came here; you know when I found the place." I responded dazed.

"Oh really? When did you find it? Can you tell me?" she asked curiously.

"Sure." I said and I told her the story.

When I had finished telling her about Hector, his terrible death, coming here and crying my heart out, and then struggling to find my way back home then finding this place again, she finally spoke. During my story she didn't react much. Just an occasional nod here and there or a 'hmm…' or an 'I see.', but other than that she just listened.

"So when I said this was your special place before, I was right?" She asked sounding as if she were deep in thought.

"Yeah kinda." I replied a bit more shy than usual. "Oh and about that, how did you know?" I asked curiously.

"Oh I didn't I just guessed… but don't you think it's a little bit cliché?" she asked.

"Yeah a little but I don't care." I said with a smile. "So Sonny, what are you gonna be for the costume party tomorrow night?"

"A prom queen. What are you going to be?" She said trying to be nonchalant. I had already told her I wouldn't tell her and it was going to be a surprise.

"Oh I'm going to be Rob—wait a second I know what you're trying to do and it's not going to work. I'm not telling you it's going to be a surprise." I answered catching myself before I could give away the fact that I'm going to be Robin Hood. Sonny huffed, and crossed her arms.

We sat there talking for the next hour, when Sonny decided it was time for her to go, much to my chagrin. We mounted and I showed her the way out. She thanked me and my parents and hopped into her dad's truck, waving as she left. I sighed. I couldn't wait for tomorrow night.
