Ellie rubbed her eyes and sat up. The sun shone bright through the window. Outside the dewy grass sparkled like thousands of diamonds. Ellie sighed and looked out the window. Don't sulk on a beautiful morning like this! she told herself. She slowly dragged herself out of bed, took off her loose pyjamas, stuffing them under her pillow untidily, and then pulled on her favourite checked shirt and jeans.
"Hi Mum," Ellie said. Mum turned from the stove where porridge was cooking and stared. Ellie's face was as pale as the moon and her eyes were swollen and red.
" What's happened to you?" she exclaimed.
"Nothing," Ellie shot back.
"Well, something must have?" Mum protested.
Ellie sank down into a chair and put her chin in her hands. There was no use arguing with Mum.
"I cried myself to sleep last night," she mumbled. there was silence.
"About that horse?" Mum asked, and without waiting for an answer, continued,
"Well you'd better go and wash your face.Our new neighbor, Mrs Terrace and her daughter, are coming for to visit today.Her daughter is a champion barrel racer, you will like her."
Ellie got up and went to the bathroom.
She felt frustrated, Just what I need,now I won't get to see Spirit today.
