"No, mom. I'm fine, seriously." Alexandra grumbled, her brown eyes staring out the window. The long, hilly roads seemed to lead to nowhere, but she knew where she was going. She was so excited to arrive at Conifer Equestrian Academy. Ever since Soot's death, she hadn't been riding very much, but she was still accepted into the one school people would die to go to! Being one of the youngest in her class, Alex was finishing up her senior year and then she would be officially an adult! She planned on doing tons and tons of riding. Honestly, Alex couldn't wait to see her horse. Would it be a mare or a stallion/gelding? Would it be tough to handle or easy going? Alex liked a good challenge. Sighing, the red headed girl turned to her mother. "I'm sorry. I love you." she told her as the car slid to a stop on the gravel driveway to the academy. Her mother nodded, returning the love with a hug and a peck on the forehead. "Have fun, sweetie. See you soon." she told Alex, who nodded and grinned as she opened the car door. She grabbed her suitcase and two large bags and waved to her mother, walking down the driveway to where she saw a few older people. "Hey!" she greeted, not sure what to do with her seemingly thousand pound luggage.
