"I was pushed foward on the horse. There was sweat on my legs from his neck. The fellwo held me tight and let me turn the horse which way I wanted. All that power going any way I wanted.. his sides were all warm, and the smell. Then suddenly I was on the ground where  dad pulled me. I could have bashed him."
"And cut!" the director yelled
The cast members walked around the stage celaing up after the long rehersal.
"Nice job." the director said with a weak smile.
Greg finished tying his black converse and hopped off stage.
"Yeah thanks." he mumbled
He began to walk up the asile mumbling to himself. Greg wasn't always the best person to be around and after a five hour rehersal he wasn't in the best of moods.
"Hey you!"
Greg looked to where the voice came from and smiled when a perky brunette began walking toward him. Once she reached him they shared a quick kiss.
"Hey Michelle."
They continued walking up the asile towards the exit door in the back of the theatere. He opened the door for her and they stepped out into the bright California sun.
"Hey. Arn't you supposed to be in your English class right now?"
Michelle laughed as she tossed her hair over her shouler.
"Can't I come see my best friend in his theatere debut?"
"The show doesn't open untill Friday."
"Well I didn't want to go to English anyway. It's a waste.
Greg laughed and grabbed Michelle's hand.
"Whatever. You just wanted to see me."
"Thats it Greg. You figured me out."
They continued walking to Greg's car when Michelle's phone broke the silence. She fished it out of her purse and pushed a button to began talking.
"Hello? Oh hey Jenny!"
As they reached Greg's car she hung up her cell phone as they sat in the car.
"Do you mind taking me to the mall. I have to pick up Jennifer from work."
"No problem. Who's Jennifer and is she single?"
Michelle laughed and shoved Greg lightly.
"Thanks. She's my friend and don't even try to date her."
"No one can resit my charm Michelle."
Greg continued driving untill Michelle told Greg to stop at the corner where a petiete red haired woman stood. Michelle stepped out of the car and hugged her friend. As Michelle and Jennifer continued to talk, Greg was stunned by the beautifukl woman he saw standing there. Her eyes sparkled and when she laughed he was drawn into her. Jennifer climbed in the back of the car and Michelle climbed in the front. He stared at her through the rear view mirror. She was beautiful.
"Greg?"
He continued staring.
"Greg!"
Greg was shaken from his dream and gave Michelle the evil eye.
"What! Geez you guys!"
The two girls laughed and smiled at Greg.
"Can you take us home now?" Michelle asked
"Oh umm sure." he said nervously
As he drove all he could think of was Jennifer's beautiful red hair and her sparkling blue eyes.
"Greg!"
Once again Michelle's shrill voice broke his thoughts.
"What!"
"You passed the apartment." Michelle laughed
Greg's cheeks turned red as he backed up his car. he had never gotten this crazy over a girl but there was something about Jennifer. Once he stopped at teh curb Jennifer and Michelle got out.
"Later sweetie."Michelle said with a quick kiss.
"Bye."
The doors shut and Greg rolled down the window.
"So Jennifer. How about going out with me tonight?"
Jennifer turned around and faced the car.
"No thanks."
"So I'll pick you up at like eight-ish?"
Jennifer laughed
"Yeah sure."
The two girls laughed and continued walking toward the apartment.
"Damn I'm such a dork."
