↠Chapter 1↞ Skye was walking down the narrow, winding lane. She was wrapped in a warm white woollen sweater and a grey pleated skirt. Skye had bright blue eyes which in her opinion were too bright for dull winters. There was a soft crumpling noise as a girl with brown eyes and bouncy blonde curls caught up with her. “Hey Skye!” she called panting. Skye turned and stopped. Then said “Horrible day isn’t it?” she said waiting for her friend Stella to stop panting. “How much did you run?” Skye asked staring at her friend who was clutching her side. “From school. You’re a fast walker!” Stella said finally standing up straight. She began walking and Skye said “Not really, my class got dismissed early, Carson girl had some problems so…” “Cool, are you excited about the sleepover at my house?” Stella asked. Inwardly she was annoyed. Skye was great, friendly and kind, but she was awfully boring… never really showing her inward emotions. Skye knew what Stella was thinking. She immediately said “Oh yes! I’m super excited! Can’t wait!” she gave a nervous giggle…to be honest Skye didn’t even want to go the sleepover. She had work to do, secret work, important work, work she couldn’t tell Stella about, keeping things a secret from best friends are very hard. —————————☆—————————— Skye was standing in front of Stella’s house. Mrs. Willstone was very fussy about being tidy, so Skye was busy tucking in her shirt when the door burst open. Skye looked up startled. “Oh it’s you Cook!” Skye said sighing at the sight of a fat women who looked very angry. “Well of course it’s me! Who did you think it was?” Cook said starightening her apron and struggling to open her umbrella. “I think you need to turn-” Skye reached and turned the handle causing the umbrella to open “There you go!” she said smiling and entering the house. “I knew that” Cook said loudly before stubbornly walking away with a large basket. Skye could here her muttering fussily under her breath. Skye walked down the great shining hallway. She went up to Stella’s large bedroom and knocked on the door. “Who is it?” Stella asked loudly and Skye could hear the creaking of the old four poster bed. “It’s your boring old friend, Skye!” she said smiling to herself. The door burst opened and Stella was staring at her with an open mouth “Skye! I really don’t think that about you, it’s just sometimes that you become boring, otherwise you are an amazing friend!” Skye laughed and hugged Stella, and after a few seconds Skye was pulled into Stella’s room. “So what have you got planned for me?” Skye asked jokingly not really wanting an answer. “Oh, well today, we’ll just watch a movie and hang around, especially try to avoid bumping into to mum, tomorrow will be be more fun, we’re leaving for horse riding in the morning. Then eat cook’s delicious lunch, watch YouTube and then you go home” Stella paused to take a deep breath. “What do you mean ‘horse riding’?” Skye asked nervously. “We sit on the horses and ride them” Stella said. “Here I’ll show you” she said opening her phone and showing Skye a video of a women riding the horse in the Olympics. “That’s a real horse!” Skye cried. “Ummm…yes, it is” Stella said. “Oh, I knew! I was just testing you” Skye added hastily...
