Jade looks into the side mirror of her foster dad's nave blue Ford and wipes a smudge of thick black liner off of her cheek. Noticing the car had come to a stop, she unbuckled her seat belt and stepped onto the campus of Green-Briar Farms for the first time. The grass was flattened by her heavy knee-high boots, and she was almost sorry for squishing it. Without a word, she swiftly clipped her forest green lead rope to Oliver's matching halter and backed him out of the 2-horse trailer. "I'm gonna go by the office for a minute. Hold Oliver," Jade thrust the rope into Bill Bausley's hands. "What do I do?" "Let him eat grass, don't let him wander off or step on you. Simple." "Wait," Bill looked Jade sternly in the eye. "Be respectful to the staff and students here. The social worker had to pull a lot of strings to get you here, remember that." "O-kay" Good thing the office was not far form the trailer parking. Jade took a deep breath and crossed her fingers before stepping into the office and walking over to the receptionist. "Um hi, I'm Jade Bausley."

Angela looked up from her bills when she heard the door open. "I'm Angela Monroe, nice to meet you," she said, holding out her hand for Jade to shake. "I own Green-Briar."

Jade awkwardly shook Angela's hand. "My horse is out there with my -- dad, and he might get seriously maimed if I don't find out where to put him. My horse, I mean. Have I been assigned a stall or something?"

"Not yet, I didn't know you were coming," Angela said, raising her eyebrows at Jade. "Let me see if there's an open stall."

"Okay," Jade tapped her black fingernails on the desk, watching Oliver repeatedly headbut Bill. She chuckled softly.

"I think stall number 12 is open right now, you can keep him there." Angela smiled cheerfully at her.

"Thank you." Jade walked out of the office and took Oliver from Bill. "Thanks. They have an open stall for me in the barn."
(Do I start posting in the 'barn' thread now?)

"See you later," Angela said as Jade left, then returned to her work.
(Sure)
