Copper

＂We’re friends, right? Nothing’s going to change that.＂

Yes. Of course. Whatever you say.

That was last year, full of surprise and change for Allison Anderson. Confident after summer break, she can’t wait for sophomore year to start. She especially looks forward to seeing David Caldera, hoping romance is in their future. But the first day back at school he’s puzzlingly distant. In spite of her determination to remain stoic and independent, she’s hurt when his chilly behavior persists. Especially when others seem to be getting the attention she longs for.

On the plus side, new friends and opportunities, equestrian and otherwise, continue to expand her world and provide welcome distraction. She’s especially thrilled to have more time with Melanie, getting to know her quiet friend better, and spending time at Northfield Equestrian Center.

As she seeks stability in her emotions and life in general, she also finds a strength and contentment she didn’t believe possible. Revelations will answer many questions and pose new challenges. And Dave?

Time will tell.
