I groaned as my alarm went off. I climbed out of my bed and quickly slipped on my clothes and sigh. Today was the first day of May and I have to go to school. When I got downstairs Lou was making some pancakes. "So this is your last day of May ever for school. You're graduating soon Ames." She said happily while handing me a blueberry muffin and a mug of coffee. "Now go help Ty feed the horses." Lou said as she put a hand on her ever growing abdomen. She was six months pregnant and getting bigger every day.

As I walk out to the barn I am greeted by a chorus of whinnies. "Alright I'm coming." I say through the giggles. I start filling the hay nets and feel arms around my waist. "Ty."I say as I turn towards him. His green emerald eyes sparkled. He leaned down to kiss me and I kiss him back. "Hurry up. I have school." I joke as he lets me out of his arms. "Aright." He says as sigh.

After the horses were feed and watered I ran to the house and grabbed a light jacket and my backpack weighed down by homework that I had finished the night before. On my way out I caught a glance at the clock. I cursed under my breath. I was going to miss the bus. I swung my backpack over my shoulder and sprinted down the driveway. I got to the bus just before it pulled away.

As I sat in school that day all I could think about is getting home and to go riding with Ty. "Miss. Fleming, Are you paying attention?" My teacher, Ms. Rhads said. I snapped back to reality. "Yes ma'am." I hear myself saying. "What were we talking about?" I quickly look at the board and see verbs written on it. "Verbs. We're learning about verbs." I say and saw out of the corner of my eye that Soraya was smiling at me and Ashley was smirking. Mrs. Rhads glared at me then started teaching again.

When the last bell rang for school to be let out I ran to the bus and hopped on quickly. If felt like I was waiting a long time before the bus driver pulled out. Move. Faster. Those words echoed through my head as the bus slowly cruised along. When it finally stopped at my stop I said good-bye to Soraya and ran up the driveway. When I got to the barn I breathed a deep sigh of relief. It smelled like hay, horses, saddle soap and cedar. Somebody must be soaping saddles. I walk into the tack room and see Ty working with a bridle. I walk up to him and sit beside him. His strong arms wrap around me. "How was school?" He asked. I shrug. "It's school, I guess. I have a huge case of 'summer fever'." We both laugh at the same time.

I saddle War Cry; a horse that had just came to get over her shyness of loud noises, quickly as Ty saddles Busted. I mount and smiled as Ty is still getting Busted's bridle on. "Come on slowpoke." I exclaim and start giggling. Ty keeps a straight face as he easily swings into the saddle. "So where do you want to go?" He asks as Busted shook his mane impatiently. War Cry shakes sticks her nose out to Busted's. "Let's go to the river." He looks at me and nudges Busted into a trot. I smile and get War Cry to follow Busted.

Once we got to the river I feel myself relax and loosen on the rein. Just as I do War Cry explodes and starts bucking. I grip her long silver mane and grab the saddle horn. She bucks harder the closer we get to the river then she turns and gallops straight towards the river. I pull back on the reins and lean back. She was running head long into the river. Just before she jumped into the river she slid to a stop. I flew over her neck and landed into the water swollen river. The water was freezing cold and I struggle as the current tries to pull me away. I crawl onto the shore and Ty rushes towards me. He wraps his coat around my shoulders. "Ames, are you alright?" I try to nod but I start shivering harder.

Ty ponies War Cry while he holds me onto Busted. I lean back into Ty and am grateful for his warmth. My eyelids start feeling heavy and I doze off. When I wake up Lou is sitting at the foot of my bed and Ty is standing behind her. I struggled to sit up. "I need to take care of the horses." I mutter as Ty beats Lou to my side. "I already did Ames. I'm so sorry you got hurt." I look at him feeling confused and I see that Lou has left my room. "You didn't do anything Ty. War Cry just spooked." Ty just nods and leans down and hugs me tight. "If you are feeling up to it I want to take you on a date tomorrow." He whispers in my ear. "Alright." I say to him. Ty smiles and I feel my heart start racing. He kisses my forehead and stands to leave. I reach for his hand. "Stay for a while, please." I plead and look deep into his emerald green eyes. He nods and sits back down beside me. I lean against his shoulder and feel his arm wrap around my back.

The next morning as I get dressed I groan. Everything hurts and I'm freezing. I pull on my favorite pair of jeans and put a T-shirt on then pull my black sweatshirt that has a picture of wild horses on. I am really glad it's Saturday. I walk downstairs and see Lou has a note beside a glass of orange juice and a poppy seed muffin. The note says: I went to town to go to my doctor's appointment and get yet another dress fitted for the wedding. Grandpa came with me and so did Scott. Please be careful today. Love Lou. I smile and drink the glass of orange juice and grab the muffin before I head outside.

Ty was cleaning out the stalls and I say that the horses were all feed. "Hey. Did you leave anything for me?" I ask him. He looks up. "Sorry. Oh and by the way Lou said an owner was coming over with a horse that loved heading out but hated coming back on rides. She should be here at 1:00." I nod. "What about we go for a ride. I think Spartan could use a ride." Ty nods. "Sure. Just let me saddle War Cry." I look at him then head to Spartan's stall. He sticks his head over and whinnies. "Hi boy. Want to go for a ride?" Spartan nods his head as if to agree with me. I smile and when I head to grab the saddle hands me my lightweight English one. "I think we should practice jumping instead." He says smiling and I smile back. I grab the saddle and Spartan's English bridle and saddle pad and saddle him quickly. Ty is already in the jumping ring. Just as Spartan is warmed up a truck pulls up. My dad steps out. "AMY!" He calls then sees us in the jumping ring and rushes over. "Amy are you ok? One of my foremen just told me he saw you fall into the river yesterday." I nod and slip off Spartan and hug him. He hugs me back tightly then pulls back and looks at me. "Well let me see you jump."

After I finished jumping and my dad left I took Spartan back to his stall and brushed him. When I finished Ty was leading a beautiful dun horse towards me. "Is that the horse that doesn't like coming back to the barn?" He nods. "Wow he's beautiful." Ty smiles and hands him to me. "The owner said his name was Klondike and he need to be 'fixed before she could sell him to a guy near here that was interested for his daughter."

After Klondike was settled in his stall it was around 1:30. Ty came up behind me and hugged me fiercely. "I have movie tickets for us at 2:30 then I was wondering if you wanted to get something to eat." He says behind me. I turn around and smile. "Well then I better go get ready." I kiss his cheek then I walk to the house. I take a hot shower and call Soraya. She picks up on the first ring. "Soraya. Ty and I are going on a date and I need something to wear." "Why don't you wear your silver dress with the feather designs and your feather necklace and earrings?" I ponder that for a second. "Thanks Soraya. You always know what I should wear." "Good Luck." I hung up the phone and glanced at the clock. It read 1:50. I quickly got dressed and put on some light blush and left my hair alone.

When I got in the kitchen I saw Ty talking to Scott. Ty looked up. Wow. He looks handsome. I thought as I saw him in a dark pair of blue jeans with a green-silver shirt. Scott smiled at me and gave me a hug. "Good luck little sis." He said in my ear before letting me go. Ty lead me to his blue pickup truck and opened the door for me.
