"So, what are you doing this morning?" My mom asked scanning my outfit, I was wearing a blue riding jacket, riding pants, and riding boots I also applied some lip gloss for good measure 

"It's it obvious?" I laughed "I'm going to ride a horse" 

"You?" my mom snorted "ride a horse?" I nodded as I pulled my hair into a ponytail "Ok and who's giving you lessons?" 

"Oh, um cameronkweller" I said quickly 

"Sorry, didn't quite catch that," my mom said taking a sip of her coffee 

"Cameron Kweller," I said again sheepishly, Cameron didn't actually know that I was coming but it would be a good surprise, right?" my mom choked on her drink 

"Didn't you vow never to talk to him again?" she asked "then you kicked him out of the house"

"I don't remember it like that" I gave a nervous laugh "I just told him I wasn't interested in having more conversations with him and I asked him to leave"

"Mhm" she raised an eyebrow "Casey, I clearly remember you saying 'get out of my house I never want to see your stupid face again" 

"No, I don't think I said that" I shook my head, I knew I said that I just really didn't want to admit it, I know my mom knew that I knew though 

"Whatever helps you sleep at night" she stood up and rinsed her glass out, then she put it in her dishwasher "I'm gonna take a bath" she mumbled, I laughed as she walked out of the room. 

Twenty minutes later I got to the barn where Cameron was opening the doors. "Cameron! what a weird coincidence!" 

"You knew I worked here" he smirked "I literally told you I was going to work here when I grew up"

"Yeah well I didn't know if that would actually come to be" I explained "anyway, I was thinking I could take a riding lesson!" 

"Case, I have a lot of work to get done" he looked at his watch and I smiled a bit at the old nickname 

"I will help," I told him "and then if we have time after, I could get on a horse?" 

"You don't even know what the job is" he sighed "I don't think you'll like it"

"I'm going to do it," I said firmly "so?" 

💋

"Ick, this is shitty, pun intended" I scooped the horse poop into a bin, I was struggling with it I will admit, poop is a lot heavier than it looks "Hey, what do horses eat anyway" 

"Well, that one, Jimbo over there" Cameron pointed to a pretty black horse "he likes chipotle, Gilly prefers sushi" 

"Cameron" I gave him a look and laughed a bit 

"Just horse feed, hay, and grass mostly" he smiled 

"Well, this horse must have eaten an entire lacrosse field," I told him "it's also very heavy"

"Let's not forget you were the one who offered to help Case, and I'm starting to think that you have never shoveled crap before," he said with a smirk, he found this funny, I'm sure most people would 

"Cameron, where the hell would I have shoveled crap before?" I asked scooping up more poop "I don't have any pets because my mom's allergic to basically everything as you know" 

"I don't know" he laughed "maybe you found an elephant...in California...because that makes total sense" I giggled at his face, he seemed very unsure about his answer to me and slightly embarrassed as well
