Anxiety had officially set in.

Sitting in a small room with all the other riders Alice honestly thought that she was going to pass out, or freak out, one of the two.

In total there were 12 riders trying out for the advanced team, and only the advanced team and so many others for all the other teams. Taking a deep breath Alice looked around and noted that she was squished between Michelle's annoying foot tapping and Tanner's twitching. Then it all stopped, and Mr. Conner walked into the front of the room and everything went still and quiet.

"Hello. Thank you all for coming." Mr. Conner started, "After looking over the notes on all the rides and everyone's abilities, I have come to the conclusion of who I want on what teams to show and compete. If you don't make the team that you were hoping for, to bad. My decisions are final until next year or if a position opens up." Looking around the room to make sure no one was objecting or saying anything against it he continued, "I will start off with the advanced team members. If your and is called please come up and get your jacket. " He waved his hand in the direction of box's in the corner, each jacket was a deep green with silver logo on the front. Again no one said anything.

Then he started listing off names, " Alex Beach, you and Princess made it to the advanced team. Congratulations," a pause filled the room as the infamous Alex stood up. Alice would be one of the first to admit she was pretty. Sporting a white tank top under a dull yellow blazer and lovely dark blue patterned infinity scarf and dark jeans fitted to perfection. Her hair was long blonde hair with and Alex had sharp green eyes. The way she walked over to the boxes and pulled out her jacket gave off this air of superiority, and the smirk she gave the room when it was safely tucked under her arm made Alice want to roll her eyes.

"Annie Richard, you and Baker made it. Congratulations," Annie stood up and walked over to the box, snatching her jacket out and flashing a bright smile full of happiness, before sitting back down. Alice would have given her a bright smile back, but she felt as though all the air was be constricted out of her lungs.

"Colton Johnson, you made it. Cogratulations," this time a semi-tall, well-built and handsome guy walked up. Looking super hot in a pair of dark wash true religion jeans, black and dark grey letter-man's jacket with the canterwood crest symbol on the right of the zipper, and a lighter grey hoodie underneath with the hood sticking over the letter-man jacket. The way he walked was like he was some kind of model, and Alice would have believed it if someone had told her he was. After grabbing his jacket Colton turned back to the rest of riders sitting down and Alice saw his light green eyes scanning the the crowd.

"Tanner Lakeman and Alice White, you and your horses made it," Tanner shot up, quickly grabbed her jacket, and then just as quickly stood next to Annie with a lovely pink blush over her face almost embarrassed by all the attention.

Alex was right behind Tanner, finally releasing a breath she didn't know she had been holding. Walking up to the front and gently grabbed her jacket, acting like it would break if she held in to tightly and this dream would slip away. Flipping it over Alice saw her last name in big silver lettering. The beauty of it made her breath catch in her throat.

This was real and Alice finally did it.

Tuning back in Alice heard Mr. Conner started to list off all the other members of the other teams. Turning to Michelle, Alex's heart felt as though it was breaking a little. Though she had made it onto the Intermediate Team, Michelle's hopes had been set high for the Advanced Team.

He finished the meeting with, "I expect all of you to check your email regularly and to be at all lessons on time. Before you leave go check on your horses and have a good night."

Everyone in the room nodded in agreement and made their way over to the door, some with watery eyes and others with gleaming smiles, before Mr. Conner added, " Advanced riders stay behind."

Looking between Annie and Tanner, Alice turned around and made her way back in to the room, Tanner and Anne following her.

Looking the riders over Mr. Conner said, "I expect you all to work hard. You didn't get here just to not try from here on out. What happens here on out with your riding is completely up to you. Miss one practice and you will be on stall cleaning duty, miss two and your will be suspended from riding, miss more then that and expect to find yourself on the intermediate team and one of those riders taking your position. Good luck. Our first lesson as a team will be on Monday next week."

This time everyone left in the room nodded their heads, introductions came after as the five riders aimed to introduce themselves to others on the team. Because that's what they now are, a team. One moving group of amazing riders.

Oh heaven spare us.

Oh Goodness... Look at that! I posted this one super quick!

I will be one of the first ones to admit this wasn't my best chapter ever written, and I am really sorry about that...

Lately I have been trying to figure out where this story is going to end up and I decided that I was going to skip halloween in this story... Just so that it can be more up to date and on an actual real set date time line thingy:)

For the rest of the story if I ever use Annie Richards (because thats her name, not Anna like I had mistyped it as in the last chapter) I would like you to know that she is someone else's original character and I am typing her in my story with her permission! The person that own Annie Richards is PoniesLover!

I would like to thank mollydolly360 and hawtjuicyaddict for their supper nice review's on the last chapter and I hope you guys like this one!
