Gypsy Girl and Horse Lovin' Boys Read Online Free PDF

arrived on a nice looking Appaloosa. He trotted around the arena once before he stopped at the fence in front of the bleachers.
    “Hi there. I didn’t expect to see you this morning,” Josh said.
    “Noah was helping Sera.” Cessie piped up.
    I kicked her foot. What a big mouth.
    “Oww.” She glared at me.
    “Help with what?” Josh asked.
    “Nothing. Well, something.” I hung my head and sighed.
    “She’s scared of horses.” Rachel walked her horse up beside Josh.
    “No!” Josh said.
    “Yes!” I responded in mock disbelief and scowled at Rachel.
    All the girls laughed as Rachel turned her horse to join her friends again.
    “That’s a problem.” Josh shook his head as he jumped off his saddle, looped the reins over the rail before hopping over the arena fence. He bounded up the bleachers and plopped down beside me. “You never said anything about that.”
    “Well, it seems a little silly to talk about it for no reason. Next time I meet someone I’ll say ‘hi, I’m Sera. Just so you know, I’m deathly afraid of horses.’” I gripped the bench. “But I did touch a horse this morning.” I did my best to smile at Josh. “I survived.”
    “Progress?” Josh asked.
    “I’d say so.” I nodded. A black horse’s head came at me from the side, heading right for my face. I slid my butt over, colliding into Josh. When I jumped up to get away, I smacked my shins against the bleacher. I grabbed the metal bench seat but couldn’t stop the momentum as I rolled down, landing on my butt on the footrest below.
    Kelly doubled over laughing on her saddle.
    Josh reached out to help me up with his mouth scrunched over to the side     .
    “Are you all right?” he asked with humor tainting his voice.
    All three girls keeled over in laughter on their horses. My face burned as I glared at Bree and Rachel. I wouldn’t give Kelly the satisfaction of looking at her.
    I couldn’t answer Josh. Grabbing Cessie by the arm, I pulled her down the bleachers, jumping off the other side, far away from Kelly and her horse.
    “There’s Noah.” Cessie pointed over to the arena entrance.
    I didn’t dare look. Holding back tears, I pulled Cessie along until we were far from any horses. I gasped for air, heading for the Caravan. I might have been hyperventilating when I burst in the door, heading straight for my bed. I held a pillow over my face until I could force myself to stop crying.
    Once I calmed down, I climbed out to the roof for some fresh air. I could watch the arena if I wanted to. However, I absolutely didn’t want to see any of them. That was until I heard yelling. Peeking over the edge, it was Noah and Josh telling Kelly off. She stormed off, grabbed her horse, and left. Noah and Josh headed right for the Caravan. I ducked down, wiping away the tears that wouldn’t stop seeping out of the corners of my eyes. Maybe they were headed somewhere else.
    Of course that wasn’t possible. They were such nice boys. I heard their voices getting closer.
    “I still can’t believe Kelly did that,” Noah said.
    “She likes you and she’s jealous.”
    “I don’t care. That’s no excuse.”
    “You think Gypsy Girl came back here?”
    “Her name is Sera. I don’t know. You wanna knock?”
    “No, you.”
    I rubbed my face dry and unrolled the rope ladder down the side of the Caravan before they finished arguing who was going to knock first. I peered over the edge.
    “Careful. It rocks the Caravan when you climb up really fast,” I said.
    “Is your mom here?” Noah was the first on the rope ladder.
    “I don’t think so. She was supposed to go to the store with some of the out of town vendors.” I hugged my knees as Noah and Josh climbed over the edge to sit on the roof with me.
    “This is really cool.” Josh pointed to the pirate ship mast and flags. He examined one of the smaller porthole windows to my room.
    Noah turned the captain’s wheel. “This is like a castle and a pirate ship camper?”
    “Yeah.
