Chapter 2
Iris gazed at her watch with intense impatience. "Damn it where is she!" she swore as she was trying to fix an old saddle with which Susan (the boss) had assigned to her. Three times, She thought three times she has been late this month. Just as she thought this Susan came down in a huff. "Iris, where is she? Where is Catori!" demanded Susan her platinum blond hair ablaze in the sunlight.
"No worries boss man." Replied Iris "She's down in the barn getting the horses ready for the students." Her flawless lie echoed between them. "Well then," said Susan as her voice started to calm down. "She won't mind if I drop down there for a visit in about ten minutes now will she?" Her voice turned sickeningly sweet and seemed to cut through the air like a knife. "Everything better be done or else." Said Susan as her eyes turned steely onto Iris and walked back up the path.
When Susan was out of site Iris ran down the path towards the barn as fast as she could. "Catori you better be down there of I'll kick your ass!" shouted Iris between breaths as she got toward the barn.
Iris was of an athletic build strong and tough not willowy or weak. She had sandy blond hair that came down past her shoulders. Her face lightly lined with freckles was full of unspoken cheer and smiles. Her eyes which the favorite feature of most were a beautiful blue that sparkled with inner joy that always remained even when angry.
As Iris got to the barn she heaved a well deserved sigh of relief. There tending to the horses was Catori. Without a moments notice Iris ran over and hit Catori on the back of the head. "Hey," shouted Catori. "What the hell was that for?" as she rubbed the back of her head. "That was for your stupidity!" groaned Iris. "Where the hell have you been? Susan is gonna be down here any second. She is ready to fire you. I can't save you this time Cat. You better have everything ready for the horses." Her rant finished Iris settled down on a bundle of hay to catch her breath.
"What are you talking about Iris?" said Catori quizzically. "Everything was done when I got here I thought you did it?" her voice now filled with confusion. Just as they were about to contemplate this Susan ran in ready to give Catori the tongue lashing of her life. "So Catori is even anything… done…" her voice trailed off as she looked at the spotless barn. "How did you do all this in such short time? I was only here an hour ago." She questioned Catori with a stern stare. "Just lucky I guess Boss." Shrugged Catori. Susan was at a loss for words as she dazedly and angrily walked out of the barn and back up to the main house. As she stormed out the two friends hugged each other and prepared to discuss the goings on of the day.
