{Summer Rose ("Petal")} Female | 17 | Richie Summer is the type of girl who sticks out somewhat, despite not really wanting to. She's short, at only 5'4" tall. She has platinum blond hair that she keeps cut short, with her bangs just long enough to fall into her eyes, which are a light gray that look almost silver in the right kind of lighting. She has very pale skin, and she would almost look as if she had been carved out of ice, were it not for the bright pink dye that stains the bottom tips of her hair and streaks through some places, offering a splash of color that otherwise wouldn't be there. Summer is a quiet girl who tends to keep to her own devices. She isn't overly shy, but she won't go out of her way to make you feel as if she were your friend. She gives off a rather serious attitude, as she's studious and very focused. When she does speak, she has a rather quiet voice, though she won't hesitate to raise it if you're being annoying. Being the daughter of a rather famous and well-known hunter/jumper, teachers seem to expect her to do better than most other students in her discipline, and while she's pretty good, she hates when people seem to not be impressed; everyone just seems to expect her to be great. Her mother's a very accomplished and well-known former Hunter/Jumper, now an academic teacher at the academy. They have an excellent relationship, though Summer hates being compared to her. This is her third year. Primary Discipline is Hunter/ Jumper. Secondary Discipline is Haute Ecole. Elective Discipline is Thoroughbred racing. Also enjoys reading, baking, and her academic classes, in which she does very well. [ Salted Squid ] {Osiria Rose} Female | 37 Though she looks very much like her daughter, Osiria and Summer almost seem to look like night and day. She's slightly taller than Summer, at 5'6" tall. She has very dark hair, which looks black in most types of lighting, though in bright sunlight you can see that it has a very dark red hue. Like her daughter, she has light gray eyes that sometimes appear silver. She walks with a heavy limp. Osiria is very kind and generous, both as a person and a teacher. She cares deeply about her students, and is always willing to stay with a student after hours if they need extra tutoring. In her younger days, Osiria was an incredibly accomplished hunter/jumper. She was a graduate of Champions Academy, and had managed to become rather famous. Unfortunately, a bad fall while she was riding at home one day left her with a hip injury that ended her career for good. Has been a teacher for six years. [ Salted Squid ] Calculus Teacher ((I hope this isn't too long! I plan on making an academic teacher as well))

(Awesome! Hmm, my guess is Summer (or Petal, which do you prefer her to go by?) had to arrive early with her mother to get the classroom set up like a week ago, so we can rp her going to meet some of the other students by the grand entrance? I'll start, I just want to make sure which name you prefer first...)

She's probably going to go by Summer for the most part; it's really only Osiria that calls her Petal, though I put it up there so nobody got confused when she starts throwing it around xD And that sounds good to me! cx))

Flynn grinned upon seeing Summer in the lot, immediately recognizing her, and he sauntered over to her from his limousine, where his driver was just gathering his things to take to his dorm. Flynn would leave him to it. "Hey there, darling. You miss me?" he teased her as he got closer, the familiar smirk on his face. The two hard worked closely together for the last two years that Summer had been at the campus; being in the same discipline required a lot of team-work and spending a lot of time together, particularly off at shows. He had grown to know all of his fellow students, at least the ones from previous years. There were always knew faces here, others getting kicked out, and stronger, better riders being brought in. He liked to mess with Summer, though, having spent plenty of time with her, and he was far from shy.

Summer had heard Flynn's approach from a mile away, though for a minute she had ignored it, her gaze trained out over what she could see the English riding area. It wasn't until he spoke up that she turned her gaze to him, the corners of her mouth turning up in the faintest of smiles. Summer never really smiled all that much, at least not when it came to big smiles, but she had spent enough time around Flynn that she was comfortable enough to do so. "Oh, yeah, definitely. I spent the entire break pining." She said sarcastically, with a light twinkle in her eyes the only thing that made it clear she was joking. "How have you been?" she asked, turning so that she was facing him fully, rather than just staring at him over her shoulder.

Rachel snorted when she saw Gloria finally arrive. "About time!" she called over to her 'friend,' from the top of the car where she was sitting as her own driver carried her stuff in. "Good god, I thought I told you last year to ship your horse here ahead of time- you look like the idiot scholarshipers trailering their own horses in-" she teased, in a not so friendly manner, rolling her eyes at the girl. "Is it still just the one horse?" she demanded, peeking at the windows of the trailer, still staying as far away as she could, not moving from the fancy car she sat on. She had barely spoken to Gloria over the Summer Vacation, far too busy to keep up- a mere few texts and selfies was the only communication, and those were mostly all about Rachel. "Ugh I know I look like an idiot!" Gloria said, "but daddy never sent him!" She pouted for a brief moment. "I unfortunately only brought one today but daddy should be sending me one soon," she leaned up agaisnt the car and raised her sunglasses to sit on her hesd.

Flynn let out a loud laugh at her remark, then answered, "Oh, just dying to get back here. Couldn't stand a day away from you anymore, hot stuff," with a glimmer in his eye. "Nah, working on my tan in the Mediterranean. What did you and your mother do all vacation?" he asked curiously. "Let me guess, you've been back here for awhile now?" he questioned, thinking the idea of having a family member work here sounded so drab. Especially when it came to academics; from what he had heard, her mother was a tough teacher. And, of course, this year he was in calculus, so there was a good chance he would have to work with her this year and the next; of course, assuming he got to stick around for one last year...

(Hey Gingy!!)
Rachel grinned. "Sweet," she said as she made room for Gloria. "Ugh, I already got a look at my class schedule. I got the worst teacher, swear to god. Guess?" she offered, a hint of deceive in her voice; why couldn't she ever catch a break? First, daddy wouldn't let her buy two new horses to bring to school this year, only one new horse. Then she didn't get accepted to do Barrel Racing as her Elective Discipline like she wanted, like Gloria. And now she had received Ms. Rose as her Calculus teacher. Seriously? The very teacher that would make students stay late to tutor, and study harder, and take up their freetime. Exactly what Rachel despised.
(XD)

"tell me it isn't Rose!" Gloria said in astonishment. "Wasn't your dad supposed to tell the school not to enroll you in her class?"

I love how Osiria is literally the nicest teacher and everybody's like "I hate her" xD))
Summer let out a snort, rolling her eyes good-naturedly. "Oh, yeah. 'Hot stuff' is right." She agreed snidely, flipping her pink bangs from her face. "I have boys literally falling at my feet! Whatever shall I do?" For a moment, she grinned, actually showing her teeth for a moment before it was gone. "But really, my summer was boring. No pun intended. Actually, it was very intended." A pause. "Mom and I went to look at some new horses. I really need one of my own; you know how awful some of the school horses are. But I want to make sure that I pick the right one for me, so I didn't buy one yet." She shrugged one shoulder nonchalantly. "Other than that, we didn't do much. No Mediterranean vacation for me. I've been stuck here for the past week."

(XD I saw she likes to tutor students and help them learn and I was like 'nope everyone that hates school will hate her XD)
Rachel snorted. "Yup, Ms. Rose. Right? But, hey, I've already got a plan! I am totally going to get her daughter wrapped around my finger and pretend to be, like, her best friend," the snotty girl said with the hand motions and all, showing off her perfectly manicured nails in the process. "She'll totally get her to go easy on me," she remarked with a smirky grin, as though she was the smartest thing in the world.
---
Flynn grinned back. "I already know how you'll respond, and that it's not worth my time to tell you we can change that-" he replied, so he moved on. "Eh, Mediterranean wasn't great. All alone for the most part. Great butler, some cute girls. Other than that..." he shrugged. "Missed the horses. You know," he began, "You can always take Warboy off my hands; I'm focusing on Hunters and Eq this year, well, at least that's what I think now. Or borrow Freedom for some shows." He shrugged as if it was no big deal. "I've got this new Eventer this year, going to try and make it to some more of those competitions, I think."

HAHA Rachel's gonna be in for a big surprise when it comes to Summer Rose xD))
"At least you got a bit of a break," Summer pointed out with a smile. "I would have loved to go to the Mediterranean. Do some swimming, maybe a little sunbathing if I managed to tan instead of burn." She chuckled. At his offer she glanced up at him, looking rather surprised. "Are you sure?" She asked, looking stunned. Not only was Warboy an extremely expensive horse, but he was wild and, from what Summer had seen, he was a bit of a brat. Honestly, she was surprised that Flynn would even think to offer to let her ride him. "But I hope that you do well with your new Eventer!"

(No worries, my posts are slow, sorry Lol yeah that's why it will be so fun ) Rachel smirked. "How about we go make friends?" she offered, searching the huge parking lot for signs of the girl; she glanced around for the hunter/jumper students, knowing that was her discipline, and expecting her to hang out with them. Finally, she caught sight of them on the opposite end.
---
Flynn smiled. "'Course. God knows I'm not that interested in him. For now, at least. Besides, we're friends, right? That's what friends are for. He needs the extra work, anyways. I doubt Jamie spent much time with him- he kind of still hates me," he laughed. He tried to envision Summer on the tall dappled gray monster; a wild boy, he would definitely test her, but from what he remembered, he suspected she would be able to handle him- hopefully. "Lets test him out later."

Friends. It was a strong word for Flynn to use, but it brought a smile to Summer's face. She'd never really thought of him that way before, and doing so actually felt really nice. "Of course," she agreed with a nod, laughing as he mentioned that Warboy still hated him. "Hey, he'll come around, right?" she joked, slipping her hands into the pockets of her jeans. "That sounds good; I look forward to it!"

(Okay I'm going to be less poofy now I swear! You've finally got my undivided attention. XD)
Flynn opened his mouth to speak before noticing Rachel and her posse heading their way. He cursed aloud. "Welp, I best get going to my dorm, make sure it's getting set up right. I'll catch you later, okay?" he let out before rushing off; he wasn't a fan of Rachel, as they often clashed. Rachel smiled at Summer, her nicest smile of all. "Summer! Ohmygosh it's so good to see you again! What a long summer, am I right?" she let out. "Swiss Alps, my friends, and skiing really make the days go by slow!" she insisted, taking Summer's hand before the girl could protest "God it feels good to be back though. Isn't it?" she questioned Summer, giving a wink to Gloria to join in.

Gloria looped her arm through Summer's and helped Rachel lead her away. "I know! But hey, my mom hired me this ah-may-zing spa..working..lady.. I brought some of the stuff with me and we should have a girls spa night in my dorm tonight!"

(BTW I switched up the dorms some, decided I should wait till we have more members and characters before I match up dorm-mates, and I should keep the ages the same too. So, yup. Just a note!)
Rachel squealed at Gloria's thought. "OMG yes!" she screeched in excitement. "Amazing! Who would have thought a frenchie could be so smart?" she teased- a cruel, not thoughtful joke, honestly. But this was nothing new, she often said things like this to Gloria.

A look of total confusion crossed Summer's face as Rachel walked up to her and took her hand, and Gloria looped her arm through her other arm. Did she know either of these girls? Sure, she knew their names, and they'd been in a few classes together, but she didn't really know them. "I- er, yeah, I suppose so. I've never been skiing before." Carefully, she pulled her hand from Rachel's, un-looping her arm from Gloria's. Honestly, she looked slightly weirded out by their advances as she reached up to brush her bangs from her eyes.

"O mijn God! Nous devrions tout faire skier ensemble quelque part! My dad is being sent to a small country in northern Europe and they ski like all the time there!" Gloria said excitedly. She got so excited that some of her words dropped into French and a little bit of Dutch found its way in as well.

Rachel felt Summer pull away, recognizing her hesitation "Okay, great. Let's meet later for girl's night. Catch you all then!" she squealed, doing a kissy-kissy face as she walked away to head to her room.(Skip a bit so we can do FlynnxSummer with Warboy? Who do you want to rp Gingy? )

(Okay!)
Nick Storme was just taking a look at all the horses in the other barns, having finished up his work early; most all of the horses had arrived previously, so there were only a handful of horses to prepare in the barn. When it was done, he decided to take a glance around at the other horses outside his barn. He stepped into the Rodeo Barn, taking a look around- it seemed mostly empty. He headed for the first stall on A side, seeing a nameplate saying 'Zeus' on the door. He peeked inside.

There was a big white stallion in the stall. It snorted at the man peaking in and snuffled his muzzle out for a treat.
"Don't feed him," came a voice down the hall, a man of about seventeen was walking towards the stall. "He's been begging everyone to give him a treat today. Quite a few have bent to his will." He chuckled and patted the stallion on the neck. "Big goofy thing."

Nick laughed in response, but was a little startled when he came in unexpectedly. "Don't worry, I ain't got nothing," he promised, pulling his hands from his pockets. "Just checkin' em all out," he added. "Nick," he offered as he extended his hand to the boy, who seemed somewhat near his age, maybe a year or two younger. This was his first year working here, and he didn't recognize anyone.
