Clip. Clop. Clip. Clop. That was the first sound that reached my ears as I woke up sitting in the passenger seat of my father’s Ford Grand Caravan. I stretched and let out a loud obnoxious yawn before I opened the car door and hopped out. I stared at the patches of the massive campus that I could see as stood outside the car I turned and walked towards the back of the truck where my father was holding a calm and freshly groomed Swan. I smiled at my 10 year old stunning 16 hand dark bay Hanoverian mare as she took in her new surroundings with bright curious with her wide almond shaped golden amber wall eyes.
I smiled at her as I patted her shoulder and let my hand travel until it was running over her silky soft nose I kissed her on the nose and said, “Hello ma’am how was your ride?” She huffed softly in my face as if she was trying to tell me that her ride in the brand new silver and black chrome trailer had been fine. I glanced down self-consciously as a crowd of kids wandered by the parking lot I glanced at my dark grey long sleeve hoodie with my favorite light grey and white shirt that said, “ you don’t judge a book by it’s cover so don’t judge me by my cover”
I let gaze drop to dark blue Wrangler jeans my dad finally agreed to let me get a whole box of them. They worked great with my red and black sneakers my neighbors had given me as a farewell gift. I picked up Swan’s bright blueberry blue lead line and attached it to her halter. I waved to my father as he started taking my belongings to my dorm room. I lead Swan into the barn and I let a rare smile escape as I looked at the fancy looking barn with its iron bars and dark wooden stall doors.
I put Swan in her stall and undid her lead line and hung it up. I looked up as someone walked by I kept my gaze trained on them until they turned around then I quickly looked away embarrassed that they'd caught me staring at them.

I didn't expect to see yet another new boy as I walked back to Orchard from my Advanced Team lesson, but sure enough, there he was. Tall, with longish, dirty blond hair and a mare that looked to be a Hano. He was looking at me, and I quickly turned around to see if he in fact was really staring. I looked beautiful, in my plum coloured breeches and a pale blue polo top under a leather coverup. My platinum blond hair was in a pretty french braid and my makeup was light and fresh, giving me a beautiful glow. I decided to go and say hi, I mean, what the heck? I took a deep breath, regained my charming composure and strode over to the boy. People stood and stared, jealous that their queen bee was paying attention to someone she knew nothing about. I rolled my eyes at the envious stares, and turned to the boy. I smiled my gorgeous smile, a bubbly sparkle in my china blue eyes. My skin was like porcelain, but even I knew I wasn't perfect. I looked up at him and away from my thoughts. "Hey, I'm Sammie." I said, cocking my head so that my soft golden hair slid down my shoulder.

I turned my head away hoping that the soft footsteps growing closer to me didn’t mean the girl was coming over to me. Sadly luck was not going to follow me today since I heard a gentle voice behind me say, “Hey, I’m Sammie” I blinked at the girl fixing my unsettling coal black eyes on her. I really didn’t want to talk this girl seemed like the kind who if I said the wrong thing would tell the whole school I was freak and then I would be in the same situation I’d been in for practically my whole life. I realized that I really should have answered by now so I said smoothly my rich accent slipping in without me noticing, “Hello, it’s nice to meet you Sammie. I’m Jasper Whittaker” I ran a hand through my dark brown hair and patted Swan’s nose as she poked her finely sculpted spotlessly clean and gleaming dark bay head out of the gap in her stall door. I nodded to Swan not wanting the girl, Sammie to see me smile. I looked Swan’s face and the part of her neck that was visible over and smiled at how clean she was I was glad I’d groomed her while I’d waited for my father to come back with our lunch and some water for Swan. I watched a few people as they by a couple of them gave me strange looks and started whispering to heir friends I tore my gaze away and let my head drop. I really didn’t want to be seen as freak because I was I would have no friends and I would mostly get beaten up like I’d been multiple times at my old school. (I changed his hair color cause my face claim has dark brown hair in the picture I chose)

Sammie smiled. "Jasper." She repeated. She loved the name a lot. She could tell that this kid was worried about the annoyed stares, so she turned and glared and they all cowered, quickly filing away. "Did you just arrive?" I asked the boy, cocking my hip and letting his horse sniff me softly.
OOC: really bad posts, sorry

I nodded to Sammie and said, “yeah, I got here like…five to ten minutes ago” I sighed dejectedly as a girl obviously younger then us caught my gaze and ran away with a startled gasp. I scuffled my feet on the ground and I lead Swan out of her stall and to a pair of cross ties near her stall. I grabbed her tack box and started to groom her starting with her hooves I took her blue berry blue lead line before I started grooming her of course. I was aware that not only would I seem weird to the girl but I would also come across as anti-social. I picked out Swan’s hooves and made sure there were no cracks or rocks in her hooves and that her shoes were ok before I grabbed a currycomb. I started to use the currycomb in large deep circles all around her body except her face, legs and belly. I then used a hard brush with short hard flicks like with the currycomb I didn’t do her belly, legs and face. I then did a soft brush I ran the brush over her body long with gentle strokes with the soft brush I did her belly and legs. I finished grooming her by combing her mane, tail and forelock as well as wiping her face with the face brush. I looked up at Sammie a few times while I was grooming Swan who lowered her head and huffed softly in contentment. I smiled at Swan and kissed her forehead softly.
