Rich Girl & Vampire Cowboy - Taylor O'Toole (book series for 12 year olds .TXT) 📗

run down the steps that lead to the kitchen. When I got to the bottom of the steps I ran into my dad and spilt his coffee all over him. He started to do this funny dance, but I was already out the door ready to ride.
When I got to the barn no one was there so I fed Midnight. After Midnight was done eating I got her ready to ride. I was in the middle of putting the saddle on when a hand touched my shoulder I automatically turned and punched the person in the face. When the person was on the ground I realized who it was. “Oh my god, Zack I am so sorry! I didn't realize it was you! I’m so sorry! “That’s when I couldn't help it, I broke out laughing.
He just stares at me. "Oh, so you think me getting hurt is funny, huh?" I shook my head yes. “well, let’s see if you’re laughing when you’re soaking wet. “I gave him a confused look.
When he was getting up he had a big grin on his face. I stopped laughing, he started to walk towards me. I backed up until my back was against Midnight's stall door. When he was close enough he picked me up a slung me over his shoulder. Then I walked out of the barn and in the opposite direction of the house. That’s when I decided that the shock of him picking me up has worn of and I could talk again. “Where are we going? “ He doesn't answer, he just sits me on a bucket and tells me to close my eyes and hold out my hands.
I do as told and then I waited for him to put something in my hands, but instead I feel a something wet hit my face. I wiped my face of and looked at my hand. I looked up at Zack and he started laughing. So I thought it would be funny to play a little trick on him. I bow my head and start to force tears down my cheeks. So it looks like I'm really crying. Zack stops crying and walks over to me. "Hey Morgan, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. It just a harmless joke."
I smiled and he sighed at that, but I wasn't going to let him get off the hook that easily. So I looked around and saw a big patch of mud right next to me. "Hey Zack. Will you come help me up?"

Zack

I sighed. I’m so glad that she's alright. I mean I didn't want to make her cry. Wait what did she just say? OH yeah, I walk over to help her up. She lifted her head and then I saw a big smile on her face. Then she smacked a big glob of mud in my face. I smiled through the mud. “So you want to play that game do you?"
I grabbed her off the bucket and gently slammed her in to the mud puddle. She started laughing and she pulled me down with her. We started a mud war and it lasted until we couldn't fight any more.
After the mud war ended we played in the puddle. Morgan turned to me. "Come on Zack. Let’s go to the house and clean up. “I shook my head yes and got up. She stuck out her hand for me to help her up.
We ran all the way to her house laughing like crazy. I ran up the porch steps to open the back door. Once we were in we walked into the kitchen trying to act civilized. When we got in the kitchen a girl in sweat pants and a T-shirt. She looked around Morgan’s age. Morgan walked over and put her hand on the girls shoulder. "Zack this is Allyssa. Allyssa this is Zack. "Allyssa lifted her hand and waved. She was a good looking girl. She has black hair and with gold colored eyes. She looked me up and down and gave a flirty smile. I looked at Morgan. She smiled and grabbed my hand. Still looking at Allyssa she started to pull me up stairs.
She pulled me into a bedroom with a queen size bed that has a gold comforter on it. In the corner 0f the room was a desk with some stationary on it. Morgan walked to a door that is right next to her bed. “Each room has its own bathroom. This is mine. You can use it if you want to. If not you can use the bathroom down the hall. “I shook my head and looked down at my cloths. “Oh. Don’t worry about your cloths. Take a shower and give me your cloths. Ok. "I just shook my head and went in to the bathroom.

Chapter 8
Morgan

I watch him walk into the bathroom and close the door. I sat on my bed ignoring the fact that I'm covered in mud and sighed. After about two minutes the door open and he threw his cloths out. I ran over and grabbed them. I rang for the maid and opened the door so she could come in. "Here are some dirty cloths. Can you please have them washed by the time he gets out of the shower. I will be in the shower down the hall if you need me. I will la my cloths in the hall. “She nodded, took the cloths, and went out of the room. I followed after her.
Once I got into the bathroom I started the water and started to undress. I put my cloths outside and stepped into the shower. I let the warm water run down my shoulders.
After my shower I got dress in blue jeans and a plain white T-shirt. I walked in my room forgetting that Zack was here. I realized he was in my room when I ran into him. I turned around. “I am so sorry. Why do we keep running into each other?"
"I really don't know why week keep running into each other, but at least you didn't hit me. " He smiled. “So are you ready to go riding."
I laugh. “Ya, at least I didn’t hit you and yes I’m ready to go riding. I’ve been ready all week.”
He smiled and headed out of my room. I followed him all the way down stairs and into the kitchen. I was just about to walk out the door when someone grabbed my arm and pulled me towards them. I looked back to see it was Allyssa. “Gosh, Allyssa you should know better not to do that. Heck I even hit Zack for doing that.”
Allyssa’s eyes went wide in shock. “You really hit him?” I shook my head. “You are crazy. Anyway why was he in your room? Wait, what were you doing in your room? Wait, why is his hair wet?”
She bombarded me with question. I held my hands up and she knew that I wanted her to stop asking questions and listen. “OK, yes I hit him. He was in my room because he was waiting for me to get out of the shower. We did nothing and his hair is wet because we both just took a shower to get this mud off. Oh, and by the way that is in separate showers by the way.” I said as I was walking out the door. I look down for my riding and when I looked up I saw Zack standing there with Midnight and his horse Black Night. I love the name of his horse and it is actually spelled Black Night. I run over to Zack when I get closer I slow down trying not to spook the horses.


Chapter 9
Zack


She starts running towards me but slows down when she gets close enough so she doesn’t spook the horses. She stops right in front of me. I look behind her and see that her friend Allyssa is standing on the porch and waving. “Your friend is waving at you.”
She turns around. “Oh, sorry she thinks you’re hot and I’m sorry I had you wait. She had to ask me a bunch of questions about what we were doing in my bedroom.”
I blushed lightly. “Well that’s good to know and I don’t mind that you were late. It gave me enough time to get the horses.”
She nods and started putting the gear on the horses and I do the same. Looking at what she is doing to make sure she doesn’t have a problem. After we are done we mount horses. “Where are we going?” She asked.
I smile. “It’s a surprise. You will have to wait in see. All I can say is that you will love it.”
Again she nods and starts to follow me. I take her to this well-worn horse path that I used to ride when I was a kid. We ride for a while in silence then she speaks up. “So, where are you from Zack?”
I smile. “I’m from right here. I was born and raised on these exact same lands. What about you?”
She looks around and sighs. “I from New York. I love it here but I miss living there to. I go to school in Virginia.”
I look at her. “Why do you live in New York but go to school in Virginia?”
“Well, I go to a boarding school in Virginia. I loved that school. I have to go to public school now right after the end of the summer.”
“There is nothing wrong with public school. I go to public school. What school are you going to?” I smile at the chance to go to the same school as her. I’m finally going to admit
