After her father remarries leaving he with more brothers than she can count, Jessica De Van has only one wish - to make it in the music world.
And who knows, maybe brothers can be good for some things?
When I got home, I found the gardens swarming with people, I just shrugged my shoulders and went to my room. I had homework to do.
An hour later, when I had finished my homework, I looked out the window and, seeing as it was such a beautiful day, I would go ride Lucky for a bit. I got changed into my riding clothes, a light blue polo, white jeans and black riding boots, curled my hair and went out to the stables.

When I got out there, I asked one of the stable hands, Mary, which stall Lucky was in.
"First one on the left, nearest the door." She said before hurrying off.
I walked up to Lucky's stall and went inside. Inside, Lucky was stood in all her glory, white and chestnut brown coat shining in the mid-afternoon sun, her saddle shining as though freshly polished.

I stroked her nose for a bit before opening the gates wide and we walked out the stall and out the stables.
Just as we were entering the forest, where we would explore, I heard a shrill cry behind me.
"What are you doing on MY horse!" A short, fat girl with frizzy, red pigtails, black, circular glasses and buck teeth was barrelling towards me, yelling the whole time about me not being allowed on my own horse.

While I was just laughing at the girls idiocy, the member that knew who I was were horror-struck. After a half hour of her huffing and puffing towards me, she got to me and demanded I get off HER horse, so I did, I slid from the saddle and touched down next to the minuscule child, I was over a foot taller and I was quite short. I bent down next down to her so my face was in hers and just started talking, everyone was surprised at my calm tone.
"Now, You listen to me right now young lady. You don't know who I am. You don't know what I could do to you. You don't know me. I could kill you and no-one care. I could get you banned from this place with a snap of my fingers."
"Y-You can't do that!" She stuttered
"Can't I?" I whispered
"NO!" She screamed, "The only ones who can ban me are the people who live in the manor. So Urn!" She stuck her tounge out at me and swung at me. I dodged of course but this eight or nine year old girl just tried to hit me!
"Francesca!" I heard someone screech, a teenager, who looked to be my age, came running up, she had long blonde hair in a high pony tail and blue eyes. "I'm so sorry Miss De Van! We usually let Fran ride Lucky for lessons since we don't always have enough horses. I didn't realise she thought Lucky was hers."
"It's alright. What's your name? I don't think I've seen you here before?" I replied
"Oh, I'm Ellie, Ellie Ralph. And you wouldn't have seen me here before, I just recently started."
"Nice to meet you! By the way, how old are you? You seem to be my age."
"Oh, I'm 14!"
"Same! What school do you go to?"
"I've just moved here but I start Stonewall High tomorrow."
"OMG! Same! You should come sit with me and my friends at lunch tomorrow, and come up to the manor sometime, you can meet my family and friends!"
"Yeah ok!"
"How about tomorrow. 5pm?" She nodded so I got back on Lucky's back "See you tomorrow!" I called over my shoulder as I speed of into the trees.
