I saw that Clara was nervus so I said : " Don't worry . Pride is really easy to ride , the only problem is thet I don't have any saddle , but if i goes at one side and maybe Tasha could go at the other side it wouldn't be any problem . Pride is the nicest hannoveranian you can find , and she's not as tall as a normal hannoveranian. Come here I'll help you up" I saw a small smile in her face , and I knew that she would do it. So I took Pride over to a rock that was a little bit taller than all others , and Clara was high enough to get up from there .

Naomi told me a long story, her and Clara just happened to be best friends! Or ex- bestfriends.
She is going to teach Clara to ride.
"C`mon Clara! You can do it!"
I smile and watch Clara get on the horse.
Maybe I could get one of those if i got home, or maybe there is wild ones on the island?

I told Tasha to go over to the other side of Pride , in case Clara fell of and helped her up. Suddenly she sat there on Prides back and seemed quite surprised. I said " There you see ! Now your on her back . Just sit like that and I'll lead you around in a circle one or two rounds. "

I go over to the other side of Naomis horse in case Clara should fall off.
Pilgrim was a little braver now, coming up behind me.

I felt so excited by this as I hopped up on top and sat there, I put my hand down on Pride's side and my other to her long, smooth mane.
This was something I had never done before and I could feel myself bubble up with joy as Naomi led me round, I looked to my side at Tasha and smiled at her.
"Thank you Naomi, and where would I be without Tasha here, ready to take a hit if I fall on her?" I hadn't actually thought of myself of a good joker, or even much of a girlie girl, I was still a geek underneath, but I felt free as I sat on the back of this magificent horse. It was as if it had solved all of the problems I had just sitting there, even though beneath that I knew I was still stuck on an island with almost no hope of rescue and what's worse I think I was developing my first crush, besides Johny Depp. I didn't know why at all, but Ken seemed nice, but if the others found out they'd most likely laugh, it would seem so sweet and kid like to say that I had just gotten my first crush. And what if someone else liked him? I wouldn't want to hurt them, though I had only been there a day, as I thought about it though, my face went red, similar to Jordan's arm, but it wasn't sunburn, I tan quite well for a while before I burn even if I do have deep chestnut-red hair. I hoped no one would notice what was happening to my face, I couldn't help it though, I had been in an all girls catholic school ever since I can remember, so I didn't know whether I was supposed to hide it. All I had was old movies to look to, and now even those had gone.
What's even worse is that Ken would most likely laugh at the idea, I would seem so silly to him, especially if I said anything. Plus there were four other girls on the island and I'm sure they were all much more pretty than I, Jordan was for sure even with her light skin that burned so easy. I felt almost stupid thinking about it really, I am not at all good with these things.

I Sit down and watch the horseriding lesson, then I start to doze. I fall asleep in the shade of a tree.

I lead Clara around , and after like 5 rounds I ask her if she would like to ride alone . She does not answer , she just sit there with a dreaming look in her face . I look in the direction she looks , and found shes looking at Ken . Then I realise it , shes in love with him . I try to get in tuch with her again "Hey Clara , why dont you ask him on a trip on the beach in the sunset or something like that ? " I whisper to her .

I hear what Naomi whisper and understand that Clara have a crush on Ken.
"No use."
I whisper to them.
"He`s sleeping."
I grin when i look at Ken asleep in the shadow.
I wonder what Jordan think about that. What if she has a crush on him too?

I looked down suddenly at Naomi and at the way she seemed to know just what I was thinking, I couldn’t let on that she was right. “Uh, what?” I asked trying to seem clueless, but it was much too late for being clueless. I looked back over at Ken who lay in the shade and sighed. “I’m not interested in him like that, so, asking him to walk with me on the beach would be…” In a word outside of the girls’ ear shot, it was a rather corny idea. “Misleading… Um...” I croaked trying to seem truthful, but outside of that there was no doubt at all, I was in fact already sunk. They knew.
But it’s only a crush, I wonder if it’s at all possible to control these kinds of feelings? I mean, I barely know the guy! “And…” I tried to come up with another deterring reason for not asking him such a thing once he was awake, nothing came. “Oh fiddle-sticks and limp-noodles…!” I said frustrated at myself. How had I made it so blimey obvious to a friend I hadn’t seen in Donkey’s years? “I like him,” I whispered, trying not to alert the whole island, which only had, including myself, five residents. “But only a little and I don’t really want to tell him, not for a while, I’ve only been here a day, and I can tell you girls that you two are much prettier, nicer, um, and Jordan, she had some spunk. I, all I have is a white dress, a bag full of writing materials and brains that are trying to bust out of my ears!” I heralded up, as if I were announcing a marriage to the world or something. “Those things just don’t help when it comes to these things…” I was quite flustered, but I tried to ignore the fact that I was starting to run out of excuses.

OOC: Sorry I took so long to reply, I have been away and my other computer has been packed due to the fact that I am moving.

I accept the cloth Ken handed me and placed it on my other arm.

I guess I must've phased out for quite some time for when I finally look up, I see a newcomer. A girl with a horse.
'Uh, wow.' I whisper. Anymore people left stranded, and we could start another city, or at least small village.
I decide not to speak, for as the pain in my arms decrease, I still am weary as to keep out of the sun. The pain still lingers within my mind, plus I think I have said enough already to last almost a lifetime.

Even tough Clara try to keep it a secret that she likes Ken , I know that she does . "I didn't mean she should go say it to him now ! " I says to Tasha "and btw stay out of others conversations!" I turn back to Clara . "Do you want to take a ride alone on a small trip into the forest ? I'll come with you and go by your side " I say .
I look at Ken. I understand that she like him , but I don't , because I have a boyfriend at home .

I looked down at Naomi and shook my head. "Maybe another time, but thank you for asking." I smiled faintly and tried to dismount from the horse, my awkward way ofsliding off kind of made me lose my balance. Long story short, I landed on my but, and had the uncomfortable feeling of scratching, grating sand in my knickers that I could really have done without. I scrunched my face up and looked from Tasha to Naomi. "And don't worry, I don't mind Tasha in on the conversation... But I think I need to sit on something that doesn't involve sand for a while." I let out a heavy breath of hope that I would soon be up on my feet and out of the hot sun, as when you're butt is being scorched by hot sand and your back by the heat from above, shade is in fact the only way to go.

I help Clara up and lead her to a spot with some grass " Does it feel better to sit here you think ? " I ask . I drop down beside her , holding Prides briddle . " So , tell me what have you been doing theese years ?"

"Much better," I answered feeling the sand shift from where it had been, though now it was rubbing my legs, it felt much better than it had done before. "Studying English mostly, school, the same catholic all girls one in the heart of up-top london. Of course. But yes, I do a lot of writing these days, I was working on a book for publishing, but I don't think that's ever going to happen!" It almost sounded as if I were complaining about it. But I wasn't really. I was quite happy to just sit back and enjoy things, so what if i'd never get published! "What about you Naomi?"

"After what you told about the book , it's not interessting . Pride is a really good showjumping horse so I've been to many competitions, and was on my way to practise before the finaly , when those guys took me . The winner of the finaly gets the tittle " Best ride of the year " . I really want it but,,, i cant get to the competition from here." I answer a bit sad. " But tell me about your book . What is it about ? " I quickly says to cover the sadness .

I looked at Naomi and shook my head. "Sounds exciting to me..." I sighed and then thought about the book I had for so long been working on away from anyone else's sights. "My book's not really all that good, it's just about a group of teens who end up trapped on a plane that has no pilot and that never stops... They obviously know they'll crash into something at some point, but have no way of doing anything about it, so they have to survive on what supplies are onboard the plane whilst figuring out what to do without dying. As far as I know it's a semi-happy ending, but I haven't finished it, it's kind of a thriller novel rather than the usual." I couldn't believe I had just said that out loud. The question was, how did I explain how they got onto a plane that never stopped flying and how it worked without my notes, all of which being in my bag full of paper and pens.

" Oh seems interesting . Do u have it with u here ? " I ask her .

"Oh, sorry i didnt mean to break in. It just seemed like an important detail."
I was not being sarcastic, or maybe a little, but Naomi freezing me out of the conversation somehow annoyed me alittle. Though she was right, i had nothing to do with it.
But neither had Naomi. What was i thinking? They were best friends!
I sat down in the shade with Jordan.
"Sometimes i wish ive ever had a real bestfriend." i said.
i didnt know where it came from, but it was certainly true.
Pilgrim whined besides me.
"Exept for Pilgrim."
I looked at him. He was a great bestfriend, but he wasnt a human.

I gave a slight nod and looked down at the big bag I held tightly, "I have only the notes, nothing else..." I said sheepishly as I gave a big heavy sigh. I was rather tired and it appeared the sun was now finally starting to set down in the distance. I wondered whether Naomi had been as lonely as I had for so long while we were apart? But I didn't ask, I might have sounded stupid, Naomi must have had many friends, all good and nice and much better than me.

"Do you think I can read it sometime ? You look a bit sleepy , let get you to bed. " I said , and helped her up . " Its hard to ride the first time you know . Your ass might be sore tomorrow ." I laghed and remember my first ridinglesson. Affter that I said I should never ride again but I couldnt keep myself away from the stables .
