Chapter 10
As we rode out of the yard I could feel Jakes eyes fallowing every move I made. I smiled to myself, revenge is sweet. I turned to Jen and winked at her to tell her the fun was a bout to start.
"So Sam what did you think of Tommy?' Tommy was Jen's cousin who was going to be visiting again in a week from New York, so we thought he was a pretty good candidate that Jake couldn't pummel.
"He's ok." I said trying to seem uncertain of an answer even though we had rehearsed down to each breath.
"Only ok? You guys seemed to be getting along pretty well the last time he was here"
"He's funny, ok?" I said trying to sound annoyed.
"Who's Tommy?" Jake asked right on cue.
"My cousin. Who somebody, not going to mention any names, cough-Sam-cough, has a crush on." Jen said smugly.
"Really?" Jake said eyeing me. I could practically hear the jealousy oozing out of his voice.
I pulled Ace to a stop and turned in my saddle to face Jen. "I DO NOT LIKE TOMMY!" I said, "we only pretended I did to get Jake back for throwing my in the river." I quickly finished before pushing Ace straight into a gallop.
"I'm gonna get you Brat!"
I heard hooves pounding behind me. I looked over my shoulder to see Jake galloping toward me on Cheddar. I waited till he was neck and neck with me before pulling the reins into my left hip. As instructed Ace wheeled around on his hunches before taking off at a gallop past Jen, to the ranch. For once I , Samantha Forester, had beaten Jake Ely.
