Chapter 1

I couldn't believe I let myself agree to this. I had let my parents force me into going all the way across the country to some hick town in Nevada.

I looked out the window of some old car, which I thought was a Buick, while some red head ranted on about how much fun it would be to have us stay with them and work with the horses. I couldn't believe how nice the woman, whose name I think is Brynna, was being despite the fact that she knew how awful kids we were.

I was shipped off by my parents to participate in some HARP program which doctored wild and abused mustangs and pared them with delinquent girls. I couldn't complain completely because the view was beautiful and I actually liked horses, but I would never admit that and the girl in the seat next to me was scary. I remembered her name was DJ.

"So Natalie, where are you from again?" asked Brynna with a bit too much enthusiasm.

"Rhode Island, and no it's not part of New York," I said not trying very hard to cover up my sarcasm.

"Well I didn't think it was," she said in a serious repremanding tone.

Ut-Oh. This was going to be an interesting week. The girl next to me snickered a little. I gave her a glare that could have possibly shot daggers out of my eyes. Who did she think she was?

After a brief, awkward pause, Brynna began to talk again about the horses we would be working with.

"You both will be working with our three…counselors I guess you could call them. They will teach you to brush, tack up a horse, ride, and create a bond with that horse! There will be two girl counselors, my daughter Sam and her friend Jen. The other is Jake. He lives at a ranch down the road," said Brynna.

Wow this girl could talk. "We are almost there," she said.

I looked out the window over the great landscape and smiled to myself as I saw the shadow of an eagle race us to the ranch. Then I saw the river and loved the way it wound its way through the earth. I loved all of the sights and found myself smiling at it. Then I saw Brynna sneak a peek at me through the rearview and immediately wiped the smile off my face, because I would never admit to anyone that I might actually be happy to be here.

We turned a corner and bumped over an old bridge as Brynna announced, "We're here!"

As we got out of the car DJ mumbled, "Let the torture begin." I hoped she wasn't right.

dont forget to review!
