I was going down to the stable block toady Trigger, my horse was arriving, and I couldn't wait.
As I woke up I smelled coffee, Alice was coming through the door chipper as ever even thought it was 7AM; she held up the Costa bag at me, I was starting to wonder if she was ever tired. She had a pair of tight fitting blue skinnie jeans on and a tank top with a zip up black hoodie on top. Her hair was perfectly spiked. I dragged myself to the bathroom and when I emerged 15 minutes later; looked slightly better than when I woke up, I pulled a pair of cream jodhpurs and a navy joules polo shirt out of my cupboard.
When I was changed I picked up my coffee.
"So I was wondering" Alice seemed slightly nervous "if I could come down to the stables and see your horse" she carried on in a rushed tone, I had to listen intently to try and keep "it' just that i've never been close to a horse, and I want to see what you do, and ... and ... stuff"
I smiled at her "you sounded like you where preparing for me to be mad, of course you can come I would love it"
Her signature grin spread across her face, I put my hair up in a messy pony tail; the key to our dorm and we walked out the door.

The sun was shining and there where students everywhere soaking up the sun and exploring the campus. I was telling Alice more about riding when something caught my eye. To the left and slightly in front of us, was the most beautiful boys, well man i'd ever seen his bronze hair was shining in the sun, i'd never seen a colour quite like it. As he came closer I could see his well defined muscles through his thin t-shirt it clung lightly to his abs. Alice screamed and ran full pelt towards the boys, she leaped into his arms and he swung her around.
"Bella, Bella" I walked over to Alice and the boy "This is my brother Edward"
Up close I could see his dazzling green eyes, everything about him was unique and it fit together to make the most stunning person I think i've ever seen. He gave me a crooked grin "hi, you must be Alice's roommate, how do you find her constant hyperness"
"Umm ... it's interesting, but very beneficial when you wake up to fresh Costa coffee"
He laughed "that is a benefit, where are you to going"
"we are going down to the stales Bella's horse is arriving in" Alice chipped in, looked at her phone "a hour and a half, Bella wants' to get everything ready and I want to have my first up close experience with a horse"
He looked thoughtful for a moment "mind if I join, and have my first up close experience with a horse as well"
Alice looked at me "sure, that's fine with me"
We carried on walking; Edward asked me questions all the way to the stables. When we got there I went to the office, they gave me a slip with my stable number on it and also the times I could use the riding school.
As Edward spread the last bit of sawdust on the floor a horse box pulled up outside. I secured the hay net, and went to unload Trigger. I opened up the horse box and lead Trigger out I heard a gasp from behind me, "he's beautiful" Alice murmured
I could feel the grin on my face. I had been separated from Trigger for a week, and it had been torture, I lead him to the outside of the stable and tied him up, I started to check him over to make sure he made the journey without injury, then I took of his guard boots and tail bandage, both were to try and prevent injury. I would have to thank Judith, the stable manager back in Forks for looking after him so well. I turned to Alice and Edward
"You ready to meet Trigger"
They both nodded and I signalled for them to come closer "stand near his head and don't walk behind him"
"What colour is he" asked Edward
"He's palomino" for the next 10 minutes he quizzed me and everything about Trigger, from height and age to where I got him from.
"Can we come back tomorrow and see you ride him" enquired Alice; I nodded as I lead him into his stable, removed his head collar and walked out bolting the door behind me.
All morning was torture; I couldn't keep my eyes of Edward luckily with all his questioning I had an excuse to look at him. I tried not to look at his eyes to long I could easily get lost in them if I wasn't careful.
I was into soccer as well as riding I was going to find out when try out where for the girls team, it turned out that Edward was on the boys soccer team. He asked how I got into soccer,
"well when I have the choice of playing soccer with Jasper, or letting Rose give me a manicure, or even a manipedi, I chose soccer"
He chuckled at that, "Jasper mention you could play soccer"
I looked at him in surprise "Jasper see's you as a sister, correct me if i'm wrong I don't remember the details, but last spring, you came first in all three events, at a three day event" I nodded how the hell did he know that "well, Jasper came back to school boasting about how talented you where, I had to listen to his account of what happened about 10 times including the bit when you almost bitch slapped a girl for hitting on Jasper then told her she needed to go find her pimp cause he was probley looking for her"
Alice was cracking up on the other side of Edward, I shrugged "she said and I quote" he smirked when I copied what he said "do you ride because I would be happy to ride you I swear I almost threw up and you should have seen jazz's face, but he would have been polite, and I was getting a bit nervous so I said the first thing I thought off"
Alice was in full blown hysterics now "and believe me if looks could kill I wouldn't have made it into the arena from how she looked at me" I was laughing now from the memory.
"Jasper said she looked like she was about to pass out when you won all three events"
I nodded; Edward dropped us back at our dorm. Alice and I trudged up to our floor.
Tell me what you think,
