Nick shrugged. "I didn't see her much over the summer, except when giving tours to candidates or what not." He honestly had no clue, due to his little interaction with her.

"she's scary...." Zo said quietly. "Hey, are you coming on the night ride?" She asked

"Uh, no..." Nick answered, wishing he could. But it didn't work like that..."I've got work still. But I hope you have fun meeting your discipline group, and that they're nice, like you," he murmured.

Nick smiled, liking the idea. "Maybe," he answered, watching her go.
Matt nodded, concerned. "Well, I'll, uh...catch you all later then, I guess. Time to ride. Wish me luck in finding someone else in endurance riding that's not a rich brat!" he requested, fingers crossed as he stood up from the table.

{Hopefully these are alright. I thought about adding a teacher, just because I saw Algebra was open, but I wanted to just wait on adding a fourth character.}
{Rowan Thomas} Female | 17 | 'Richie' She has slightly tan skin, only a few freckles across her nose and cheeks. She has straight, dark brown hair that stops halfway down her back and sometimes falls in front of her pale green eyes. Rowan is 5’7 and she finds it a little annoying. She likes designer clothes, but she mostly wears a mix of them and normal, everyday clothing. She feels better when she has a t-shirt and jeans, since it was better for working with her horse. Her ears are pierced twice on both ears, but she doesn't draw attention with gaudy jewelry. She is very compassionate and sweet. But she also has a short temper and can be known to lash out with sarcasm and a sharp tongue when someone gets on her nerves. She has a soft spot for the horses and can be quite gentle when it concerns the creatures. As the only daughter of a pair of business owners, she has spent her life in wealth and luxury. Despite the fact she could have whatever she wanted, Rowan opts for small things like a couple books or some small jars of paint. She grew up always trying to be the best to impress her parents, hoping it would shift their attention from constant work to family. She has attended the academy since she was 13, her parents demanding that she go to the prestigious school. Primary Discipline is Dressage. Secondary Discipline is Eventing. Elective Discipline is Hunter/Jumper. She likes to help others and loves animals, but her favorite hobby is writing. She loves using her imagination to create stories that are as good as the books she reads. She hates people who manipulate others, which means quite a few other students. She enjoys running and watching stupid movies, but by far she loves playing games as she is competitive. [ ✫sιℓvεяяσsε28✫ ] {Shining Moon (Moon)} Rowan Thomas Mare | 12 | Dutch Warmblood This 16.3 hh dapple grey mare has two stockings on her front right and back left legs, as well as a blaze. Her mane is often brushed out and her tail is sometimes braided when rowan has time. She is often gentle, which makes her a good horse to work with. With proper training, Moon is far from wild and aims to please. She does have a few off days where she is, as Rowan likes to say, a bit mareish. But she does listen to her rider and loves her as much as the girl loves Moon. She is used for Dressage, but has had past training in Hunter/Jumper and Eventing. [ ✫sιℓvεяяσsε28✫ ] PRIVATE {Saige Donovan} Female | 16 | 'Scholarshiper' She stands at 5’5 with an athletic build. Saige has shoulder length caramel blonde hair that can be wild at times. Her eyes are a bright blue with a ring of darker blue around the pupiland a tiny beauty mark is by the outer corner of her right eye. Her skin is pretty fair, even when she is under the sun so much. Her style is very inspired by her family, which means it mostly consists of plaid, ripped jeans, and even a little bit of cowboy boots and style as she is from Texas. Saige is very sweet to people and animals alike, so long as they are nice in return. She is easily intimidated by others, which does nothing to help her shyness. Her family grew up in a small town and she is the youngest of three, which she would say is a nightmare. She was recently accepted to the academy, and it will be her first year. Primary Discipline is Reining. Secondary Discipline is Trick Riding. Elective Discipline is Western Pleasure. She likes to be outside and spend time with the horses. Her own just barely made it to the school, as her parents had to scrape together their savings to send Sky with her. She does enjoy working with animals, as she aspires to be a vet or a trainer someday. But she has no fondness for bad weather or drama, preferring to stay away if possible. [ ✫sιℓvεяяσsε28✫ ] {Julian Aguilar} Male | 17 | 'Richie' He is about 5’10 in height currently. He has short black hair that falls just over his eyes. He sometimes uses a little bit of gel to make it slightly spiky. He has tan skin year-round and deep chocolate brown eyes. A scar runs through his brow and stops just above his cheekbone. He has a dimple in his right cheek. He usually wears something slightly stylish, as his father always made him. He has a thin black leather bracelet with a plaque that has his mother's name and his little sister's name to remember them. He is rude and slightly arrogant and brags about how privileged he is in life. Most of the time, it's an act. He isn’t too serious when it comes to relationships with others. What he lacks in social skills, he makes up for in bravery and determination. He stands up for what he believes in and does his best to succeed. But his short temper often gets the best of him. His parents split, so he lives with his father and rarely sees his mother. He mostly remains independent, as his father would otherwise push him into pursuing things Julian doesn’t want. He joined the Academy at the age of 15, as he had problems that slowed his transfer. Primary Discipline is Stadium Jumping. Secondary Discipline is Thoroughbred Racing. Elective Discipline is Dressage. While he isn’t open about it, he does like to draw and sketch. He prefers quiet places and taking short rides with Apollo, his favorite horse and true friend. [ ✫sιℓvεяяσsε28✫ ] { Apollo’s Champion (Apollo)} Julian Aguilar Gelding | 15 | Thoroughbred A 16.5 hh dark bay gelding with a star. He has dark brown eyes that typically seem to show boredom. He is a very impressive male, which is why Julian first chose him. Later on he started to display a playful wildness underneath the obedient act. Apollo rarely gets upset, but he has tried to kick Julian and a groom once or twice. He can be stubborn when he is forced to do something he does not like. He also seems to teach his rider a lesson whenever the boy tries to be a little too controlling, though it hasn’t happened in a couple years. He is made for running and jumping, which is why he is used in Thoroughbred Racing and Stadium. [ ✫sιℓvεяяσsε28✫ ] PRIVATE

(They looks great! I'll do a more detailed view when I'm actually adding them, but for now I don't see any issues! And no worries, you're free to add new characters whenever you would like!
Ooooh Theo gets to meet Saige! Lol. We're doing our first night ride now, so it's the first time the whole group of disciplines will meet their team, basically. )

{Nice. Now to attempt to join in without messing this up.}
Saige lingered towards the back of the room, a bit nervous after hearing the announcements. Playing with her necklace, she glanced around at the other students. Take a beat and calm down. It's not like anyone will start being rude on day one, right? After a heartbeat, she realized it was actually quite possible. Her thoughts drifted to the night ride, and she found herself wondering if any of the reining people would be like her, or if they were all wealthy and above it all.

(Np, Silver, you haven't missed much! BTW we need a nickname for you, we do already have a Silv, so what would you like to go by? I went ahead and stuck Rowan in the dorm with Rachel xD I figured that would be quite a pair! Lolol. The eventing, dressage, and stadium jumping groups are going to start out together - mostly just so there will actually be enough ppl to rp with one another, hehe - but also since they will work closely together and eventing even shares the dressage and stadium jumping trainers )

(I liked the show last season- even though the actress that plays Clary is AWFUL!- but this season they are throwing WAY too much at you in a single episode, I can't keep up at all, and it is making the episode awful to watch! I hate it. I'll watch it when it comes back this week, but I pray it gets better. Because it was stressing me out to watch. But I <3 Malac!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Saige staggered a little to maintain her balance, a squeak of alarm slipping out of her mouth. Her eyes flicked up at his face and went back to the floor. "Yes," Her voice was soft and her head slightly lowered. She took a small step back and let her bangs fall over her face. "I'm fine," She murmured. The shy girl felt small enough compared to everyone, and now she felt invisible too. The icing on the bittersweet cake, I suppose. "Don't worry about it," Saige added quickly as an afterthought. She briefly looked up and didn't think he was like most of the other kids. Though that may have been due to the piercing, of course.
{It is enjoyable. But I agree with that. I'd hate to watch something when I know what happens, unless it's a favorite show or movie. Then I'll never stop replaying it XD}

(I actually really like Simon, probably just because the author who played him is absolutely phenomenal. I LOVE that it's different, no show should be the same as it's book counterpart- TWD is different and it's a good thing- but they are throwing too much into each episode and I can't keep up with what is happening. They need to chill out)

Haha. Same. )
Just an FYI. There's nothing about Theo that's like the other kids there. He's in ripped up black Vans, old black ripped skinny jeans, and a hole-riddled Green Day tank with a red and black flannel on over the tank. x'D )
Theo half shrugged, also taking a step back. "Good. At least I didn't hurt you with my clumsiness. Really need to work on that." He rubbed the back of his neck as he continued playing with his lip ring. He noticed that this girl was shy. "Hey, uhm, are you new here? I might not be the most social returner, but I do know when I think I see a newcomer." What if she wasn't a newbie? He continued on, scrambling to cover up in case he was wrong. "O-of course, I wasn't really social last year, s-so you might not be a newcomer. I-It could just be me being my antisocial self... I'm going to shut up now." He bit down on his lip ring again, glancing around, not looking at Saige due to nerves. He scratches the back of his neck again and shuffled his feet slightly.
(Ah. Poor Theo. He needs to learn how to talk to girls. Lol. x'D I actually didn't expect him to be this nervous around girls. Haha. )

{It's alright. Saige doesn't know how to talk to anyone. It'll be fun.}
Saige glanced around before she reached up to brush her hair out of her eyes. She bit her lip to keep from laughing, but a small smile appeared across her face. "It's okay. Um, is it that obvious that I'm new?" She asked quietly, trying to make things less awkward. She was fairly surprised that she was able to manage so many words without running in the opposite direction. But one quick look from the boy and she knew for sure that he couldn't be one of the richer students. She heard footsteps and noticed a few other students beginning to leave for the night ride, but none looked in her direction. Maybe being invisible is a good thing around here. She concluded.
As more people got up to leave, Rowan found herself sitting alone at one end of a table. She didn't mind it, giving a careless shrug of her shoulders before checking her watch. The girl had the schedule memorized at this point, and knew she had a few more minutes before she needed to leave and find her group. Another year with the same people, the same drama, and the same competitive spirit. God, I missed this place. She allowed the corners of her mouth to turn upwards, the only indication that she was in a decent mood. However, her surprise at her roommate had left a cloud over her for most of the day. Just one year of peace. That is all I ask for.

"I'm Saige," She introduced herself as she reached out and shook his hand. She let it fall back to her side before considering the question. "My primary is Reining, actually. What's yours, Theo?" She asked in return, trying out the nickname. She felt some of her anxiety and nerves disappearing, and that was replaced by relief and curiosity. "You're probably right. Wouldn't want to show up late on day one, right?" She managed a slightly visible smile. The girl lightly tapped the toe of her boot on the ground, silently counting how many of them as she waited.

Saige found herself laughing at his reaction. "I don't have a clue," She admitted as she started to head for the door. "The only way I could be here is scholarship, so yes," She continued. The blonde moved aside as a few other kids passed by, but she was smiling brightly. "I wasn't sure if anyone else did reining. Most people I know ride English," She glanced back and stopped, motioning for him to walk with her. But she was feeling a bit better because at least now she knew someone, and might have a friend if she didn't get incredibly awkward like she usually did.
