I snuck out the front door at exactly 3. Luckily, Isaiah was already here. I had mention Lance I was going to a rodeo but I didn't tell anyone else. I knew Bryce would say no since I got into a fight with Finn. I wouldn't dare ask him. He would be super mad since girls aren't suppose to fight. But hey, I have 4 brothers, so it is going to happen some time 或者 another.
I jumped in the truck and looked over at Isaiah, his mouth was wide open.
"Careful, a fly might get in there." I 说 laughing.
"What in the world happened to you?" he asked shocked.
"I got into argument with Finn this morning." I stated.
"Alright. Did 你 tell them 你 were going with me?" He asked.
"Uh yeah." I said.
"Okay, so what was the argument over? He asked prying.
"Why do 你 wanna know?" I asked.
"Well it had to be some argument for your lip to end up looking like that!" Isaiah said.
"I don't want to talk about it." I stated.
"Okay. How's your horse? Still wild as everything?" He asked as he looked out the road.
"I don't want to talk about him either." I 说 as I looked out the passenger window.
That stupid horse could jump fences. Why could he not run and jump away from the coyotes? He was so smart. He was wild before and stayed away from them. Did I really domesticate him that much?
I felt my phone buzz and it was Clay calling me. I ignored his call.
"So, what did 你 do today?" I asked trying to make this long car ride short.
"Not much. Just been preparing for the rodeo." He smiled.
"Preparing? As in thinking of a way beat me?" I teased.
"In your dreams!" Isaiah laughed. "This is a stiff completion."
"Okay, tell me about my opponents. Starting with you." I demanded.
"You'll see em. But they will try and distract 你 from riding. You're a girl..." He said.
"Well of course I am girl." I 说 laughing. "There is no doubt about it."
"No, they are going to try and get 你 mind away from 公牛 riding. They will flirt with you. Just stay away from Johnny." He informed me.
"Why? Who's Johnny?" I asked confused.
"Most the girls at school are head over heels for this guy. He gets what he wants out of girls and then dumps them." Isaiah stated. "He is going to be into 你 since 你 are a 公牛 rider and girl. I don't think any guy around here has meet a girl that can 公牛 ride."
"Okay." I 说 kind of skeptical.
"Look just do that for me. Okay?" He asked.
"For you?" I asked.
"If 你 don't want to stay away from him on your own will then please stay away from him as a favor to me." Isaiah 说 almost begging.
"Okay." I said.
"Where were 你 Wednesday night? I didn't see 你 或者 Clay." He asked curiously.
"Well, we were on our way to church. But we stopped on the side of the road." I said.
"Why is that?" He asked as he glanced at me.
This was getting uncomfortable.
"He was 展示 me how to get saved." I mumbled.
"So 你 accepted 耶稣 as your Savior?" He asked.
"Yeah." I mumbled.
"That is great! I have been prayin' for you." He 说 as he smiled at me.
"Uhh, thanks." I said.
"Don't be embarrassed." He 说 as he gave me a smile.
"So, are we almost there?" I asked.
"Almost." Isaiah confirmed as my phone buzzed again.
This time it was Tucker calling. But I hit the ignored button again.
"So who keeps calling 你 that 你 are ignoring?" He asked curiously.
"Nobody." I said.
"is it a boy? Is he harassing you?" He asked concerned.
"I can defend for myself. But no I don't know any guys that would do that." I 说 as I blushed a little bit.
"Well, 由 the look of your face. It didn't work so well." He 说 as he tried not to laugh.
"Ha ha!" I 说 after I stuck my tongue out at him.
We finally pulled up the venue. It was huge. The length of the place was impressive.
"Whoa! I don't know if I can compete here." I mumbled to myself.
"Why not?" He asked as he got out of the truck.
"This is going to be big crowd. I can barely ride in front of Clay and a man I barely know. Much less a 100 people 或者 so." I gulped.
"You'll do fine! Wanna help me get my horse out?" He asked.
Isaiah's POV
"Sure!" Harmony beamed happily.
I went to the front of trailer to get the tack while Harmony went to the door to get my horse. As I came around to Harmony, I could here her talking to the horse.
"Aren't 你 a good boy! You're going to win today aren't ya." She cooed as I leaned against the trailer. "You won't be scare. You're use to being in the spot light."
"Thanks for giving him a pep talk! I think he really needed that." I said.
"Isaiah! Harmony gasped. "How long were 你 standing there?"
"Long enough." I 说 smiling.
"Could I saddle him and warm him up?" She asked hopeful.
"Sure; I will go check us in." I said.
"You already registered me?" She asked surprised.
"Yeah, I did." I said.
"How did 你 know I would come?" She asked.
"Well 你 haven't passed up a rodeo yet." I 说 smiling.
"Right." She laughed.
I went back to the truck to grab our registration papers.
"Oh, I need 你 to sign here." I said.
"Okay. Wait, don't I need an adult to sign this?" She asked worriedly.
"Yeah, don't worry. I've got that covered." I said.
"Who signed it?" She asked curiously.
"Just don't worry bout it." I stated.
"Alright." Harmony 说 as she shrugged her shoulder.
I came back to the truck and Harmony was off riding my horse in the side field. My phone started buzzing and it was Clay. I wonder what he wants.
"Hey man, what's up?" I asked as I answered the phone.
"By any chance, is Harmony with you?" He asked.
"Of course." I said. "What's wrong?"
"Thank 你 Lord! She went missing around 3 and we haven't been able to get a hold of her." he stated as he sounded relieved.
"I picked her up at 3. Harmony 说 she told y'all she was coming with me." I stated as he sighed.
"I guess she didn't tell dad because she was scared she was going to be in trouble." He said.
"Yeah, what happened to her?" I asked worried. "Between her and Finn?"
"It's a long story. Man, she is going to be in a heap of trouble when she gets back." Clay informed me.
"From who? 你 或者 your dad?" I asked almost laughing.
"From me! I think Lance told dad where she was at but I had no idea." he said.
"What does it matter if 你 know? Your dad knew, big deal." I stated.
"She just needs protecting. Okay?" He said. "Keep those guys away from."
"I'll do my best. But I will be gone for a few minutes." I laughed.
"Isaiah this is no joke!" Clay 说 angrily. "She doesn't know how evil people can be."
"I think she knows 更多 about that than 你 do." I said. "Relax, I have told her just to stay away from the guys. They are going to try and distract her anyways."
"Well, I honestly think they won't be able to do that." Clay said.
"Okay, I gotta go. Talk to ya later." I said.
"Thanks again." Clay 说 as he hung up.
I got off the phone as Harmony came walking up with the horse.
"When were 你 going to tell me 你 snuck away from your parents?" I asked.
"What?" She asked shocked.
"You heard me. Are 你 going to explain yourself?" I asked.
"I told Lance so technically I told them." She 说 bitterly.
"Well, Clay just called me. He has been worried sick about you!" I informed her.
"So?" She 说 as if she didn't care.
I watched her dismount from my horse.
"You don't realize how much he loves you, do you?" I ask.
"I guess I just can't fathom how much he 或者 anyone loves me." She 说 as she looked at my horse. "Believe it 或者 not, but people who 爱情 me and care for me... It is all new to me."
"Well 你 better get use to it." I 说 smiling.
"I guess so." She 说 as she grinned.
"You really like 马 don'tcha?" I asked.
"Yeah, I do." She smiled.
"Are 你 going to tell me what all happened this morning?" I asked prying. "You won't tell me about Midnight Moon 或者 the fight between 你 and Finn. 你 barely told me about Wednesday night."
"Right. How much time do we have before the rodeo?" She asked
"I think we have time." I said. "Why don't we go to concession stand and grab some food. 你 can tell me over dinner."
"Fine." She 说 as she tied the horse to the trailer.
I jumped in the truck and looked over at Isaiah, his mouth was wide open.
"Careful, a fly might get in there." I 说 laughing.
"What in the world happened to you?" he asked shocked.
