---------------------- Surprisingly today was a warm day. There was a lot that Alessandra could do. There she was, laying down on her bed looking out the window. She clutched onto her stuffed animal bringing it up to her chin and hugging it like she always did. Well, it was such a nice day outside she didn't want to to go to waste. Besides she was sure the next day that it would be freezing cold. Alessandra puffed out her cheeks, but what would she do? Sitting up in her bed now sitting crisscross. She didn't know anyone yet other then her sister and she HIGHLY doubt that her sister wanted to meet her.
Looked like the other thing to do was explore the school. Classes were over with so maybe there were some extracurricular activities that she could look into? She hopped up from bed and pinned her hair back. She slipped into some skinny jeans, and a black fitted t-shirt. She didn't feel like trying to dress pretty. That was a waste of time since she didn't have anyone to impress. She put on her zebra printed flats, grabbed her dorm room key and headed out of the door with a skip. Running her hands through her hair she began to walk down the hall.
Now, to think of the things that she could do. It had to be worth her time and help her out in some way shape or form. Or maybe she could just do something she had never done before! Walking outside of the campus she made her way but slowly came to a stop as she passed by the horse stables. She tilted her head over to the side, maybe she should learn how to ride a horse? Scratching the back of her head she thought about it more. Last time she even stepped next to a horse it freaked out on her so she wasn't on good terms with large animals after that. But, maybe someone there could help her with that small fear?
Walking around the place she stumbled to the outside ring. It was very large in size. She could see herself gracefully riding a horse guiding it throughout the jumps and turns. Glancing around she walked over to the fence and leaned against it. "I wonder if anyone is here..." she said still looking around, she could ask them if they could help her. Hopefully they would say yes and deal with her childlike side in the process.

Suns shining, but not causing uncomfortable heat. There was a nice breeze to cools things down every once and a while. It was also probably the last warm day of fall. The winter season would come around soon enough. A person would be crazy out of their mind not to enjoy such a blessed day. Luckily enough, Aleron Beau Valeray isn't crazy. Well crazy enough to let this day go to waste at least. His schedule had already been decided since the moment he woke up and looked out the window. It was the stables for sure, ad for the whole day. He only had one or two classes planned so the rest of the day he can ride until he can't ride anymore.
Aleron dressed himself in his usual casual attire. A gray wife-beater tank top, a pair of black jeans, though instead of sneakers they were replaced by a pair of black boots. This was so because they would be better to ride a horse than sneakers. His silver colored hair was clipped back in multiple places with white clips that blended into his hair. It was just a way to keep it from falling in his face, though some managed to fall out and frame his face. It was an easy walk to the school, except for the fact that some people weren't used to the newcomer. He had just moved their recently after all, a country boy coming into the city must have been odd to some people. Not to mention his silver hair and piercing emerald green eyes. He was bound to stick out a bit.
Once on the school ground he quickly made his way to the stables. The smell and sounds of happy horses made him smile a bit. He hurried to the stall of his own horse. Cocktail, also known as Tails. He has a large muscular body, even for a Dutch Warmblood stallion. His coat is a light brownish red except for the white on most of his face and a small white patch on his chest. His eyes are big and bi colored, one blue and one dark brown. Aleron has had him for about three years now and they are the best of friends. The young man didn't hesitate to bring the horse out of it's stall and get it ready to ride. After equipping Tails with a matching black set of riding gear, Ron grabbed the reins and led him out to the ring. He probably looked like a small cat as he walked next to the gentle giant.
He would have about two hours to himself to ride. Though of course it wouldn't be on the same horse. All the other horses needed to be warmed up before they could be used in classes. Coming up to the outdoor ring he noticed a girl. A lady perhaps? Though where is her butler? He walked closer to her so he was only about 5 feet away with Tails at his side. "Umm, is there something I can help you with?" he said with a bit of french accent just barely noticeable.

---------------------- Alessandra's eyes brighten slightly finally spotting someone, not only that he was making his way towards her. Her mind started to race trying to think of a way to explain why she was here. He didn't look like a bad person so it wouldn't be so bad. She bit down her lower lip and began to fiddle with her fingers; a habit she always did to calm herself down. But she couldn't really calm down with that horse, the animal was huge and with each step it took she started to feel like a tiny bug. "Umm, is there something I can help you with?" hm, he wasn't from here? The sound of his voice wasn't anywhere near Italian but then again maybe she was just over thinking it.
A small smile grew onto her lips with a small nod, "Actually you can, you see I want to get over a little fear of mine." she slowly began as a light blush formed across her cheeks hating to show how much a wimp she was "I had a bad history with a horse a long time ago and I've been meaning to get over the fear with horseback riding. That's the only way I know anyway." she said with a small frown averting the gaze of the other to look up at the sky. So far so good, now all she had to see was if he was willing to help her with that. If he didn't want to help her, she guessed that was okay.
This was all she could think about for her free time, sure she could do art and cook when she was bored but she was starting to think that the same ruten was coming to an end. It was time to try something new, something exciting, she wanted to tell her parents something she learned other then something in math class. "So, if it wouldn't be such a bother could you possibly give me private lessons?" she said with a nervous smile scratching her cheek looking at him for a moment back to the horse. He did seem to get along well with the horse that he was with so, that could be a plus right?
Hopping off the fence onto the grass Alessandra leaned on the back of her heels for a moment "If you can't help then I guess I'll just have to find something else to do." she said raising a brow towards him, "I'm Alessandra Tosto by the way." she didn't bother saying her middle name since it would be too long and a waste of her breath.

Though it also made his stomach swirl a little bit, she was amazingly pretty. How good looking someone was, wasn't somethign he really cared or thought about. But she had that 'it' factor. Whatever the hell that is. He mentally frowned at his own ignorance. He returned back to earth as she spoke. Fear? What could this fear of hers be? He soon found out. She has a fear of horses? It almost made him want to laugh but he held it back. That's crazy, how can she be scared of something so gentle. Geeze. He studied for a second, it didn't seem like she was lying, but he still couldn't believe that the animal he grew up with was scary to such a girl.
He sighed quietly to himself and ran a pushed his hair out of his face. It looked like his riding time was going to be taken up. Ah, well there was always tomorrow right? Yeah, right. If the weather is kind to me again. He felt a nudge on his shoulder. It was Cocktail. He seemed to be a bit impatient. Aleron pushed the horses muzzle away playfully. "Knock it off." he mumbled and laughed a bit, almost forgetting the girl in front of him. "So, if it wouldn't be such a bother could you possibly give me private lessons?" The girl asked. It's not like he could say no to her, he was the teacher after all. No matter the situation the Ladies came first. Or at least that's what he was told when he was hired. So troublesome.
The young man nodded and smiled. At least he'd have someone to talk to other than his horse. "Sure. I'll give you private lessons. Though don't expect me to go easy on you just because your fear." He said and smiled. Immediately he started running through horses to find which one would bets fit her. Then he realized the answer was standing right next to him. Pointing at the large horse he smiled. ""You'll be riding him. " Alerson walked up next to the girl and tied Tails to the fence. "My name is Aleron Valeroy. I'm the equestrian teach her at the academy." He paused and patted the horse on the shoulder. "This big guy is Cocktail, or just Tails." He smiled like a little kid would when they were showing off they're favorite toy or something. To Aleron, that toy was Tails.

---------------------- Once Alessandra saw a smile appear on his face her expression turned hopeful. "Sure. I'll give you private lessons. Though don't expect me to go easy on you just because your fear." This caused Alessandra to nod eagerly, she didn't care what it took to get this fear out of her but as long as she wasn't scared of horses anymore it was worth it. "You have my word, so if I try to run away or something drag me back okay?" she said, yes there would defiantly be a chance where she would run away frightened from a horse. But with her new acquaintance that wouldn't be a problem, her gazed watched as he looked though the horses. She guessed he was trying to find one for her, she wasn't an expert on horse riding so she couldn't say anything. Alessandra always thought that you could just hop onto any horse and ride it around.
Everything would be fine as long as she didn't feel intimidated; and didn't ride a large horse...Alessandra scrunched her eyebrows for a moment seeing him look at the horse he had earlier. Oh no, she knew that look. That was the look that was 'This is the one. She'll use this instead' "You'll be riding him. " she gazed up at the horse looking it right in the eye as a chill when down her spine. Maybe it wasn't too late to turn around and run for her life? Alessandra stuffed her hands in her back pocket biting her lower lip, she could handle this.
It was annoying how her heart started to speed up so quickly "My name is Aleron Valeroy. I'm the equestrian teacher at the academy." Aleron, she repeated the name in the back of her head to make sure she wouldn't forget it. She wasn't the type of girl that would smile and be nice in front of you and suddenly act like she didn't know you at all walking down the street. If Alessandra saw Aleron walking do the sidewalk she'd be overly excited to see someone she knew. "Nice to meet you Aleron, thank you so much for helping."
She tilted her head to the side as her smile softened, "This big guy is Cocktail, or just Tails." he looked like such a child, "It looks like you two get along great." she commented "You almost look like a little kid with that smile of yours. i think it's cute!" she said honestly, if the horse was nice to him then...Would it be the same with Alessandra? "So, what do I need to do first?" she laughed nervously, "As long as you don't let me fall I'll be completely fine."

Aleron had never had to help someone get over their fear of horses, so ti wasn't somethign eh really knew how to deal with. It would probably slip his mind anyway and he would end up treating her like every other rider he trained. Sure he was gentle but she'd have to remind him every now and then that she was afraid or else he might take it too far. "You have my word, so if I try to run away or something drag me back okay?" A smirk came across his lips. "Yeah. Don't expect any mercy from now on."
It was easy to tell that she was a little scared as he told her the horse she'd be riding. "Hey...there's no reason to be afraid of this guy, just because he is big doesn't mean anything. Just think of him as a giant teddy bear." Aleron chuckled. A big teddy bear, was exactly what his horse was, well with a bit of attitude. "Nice to meet you Aleron, thank you so much for helping." He nodded. "It's kinda my job, I have no right to refuse you, but your welcome anyways." It was true, he had to fufill every request of the ladies. He had only a few so far though that he had wanted to though. He felt the horse nudge his back with his head again, Tails was getting a bit annoyed that someone else was getting more attention.
Patting the horse he heard the girl comment on their relationship. "It looks like you two get along great. You almost look like a little kid with that smile of yours. I think it's cute!" This made Aleron blush a bit, but he was a little unsure of why. All he could was nod as he avoided her eyes. I probably seem just like a child. Ha-Ha. Thanks Tails. He soon got over it as the girl spoke once again. "So, what do I need to do first?" He knew exactly what she was going to do. "As long as you don't let me fall I'll be completely fine." He smiled. "Oh. Don't worry. I won't let you fall." He untied his horse and signaled the horse to bow down. Like he had done it plenty of times before the horse lowered it head and bowed. This made it easier for some one to get on. Then Aleron proceeded to pick up Alessandra and place her in the saddle. Once on the horse got up and he led him into the ring. "The best way to get over your fear is to get right on it."

---------------------- "Hey...there's no reason to be afraid of this guy, just because he is big doesn't mean anything. Just think of him as a giant teddy bear." This caused Alessandra to laugh, now that he said that she was a little less nervous "Okay, I can deal with that. I like teddy bears." she commented, Alessandra even wanted to hug the horse now that he said that. Then again they might be a little too bold for right now. "It's kinda my job, I have no right to refuse you, but your welcome anyways." She just shook her head, he was mistaken. "Weather it's your job or not your putting away your free time to help me."
Alessandra's smile turned into a grin seeing Aleron blush, she couldn't help but to comment on such things. When she saw something catch her eyes she was bound to say something about it. Maybe for a thank you she could make him something since she loved to cook. That would mean that she'd have to figure out what his favorite food was. She was sure she could make it and it would be something to look forward to. "Oh. Don't worry. I won't let you fall." that made her feel safer, she was trusting the with every word that came out of his mouth. Sooner of later Alessandra would somehow think that the two were the best of friends
Her heart skipped a beat when Aleron suddenly picked her up placing her on the horse. "The best way to get over your fear is to get right on it." She held onto the saddle for dear life as they made their way into the ring. That was so sudden! She wasn't expecting something like that. She didn't want to be up here alone, what if she fell? Sure he said that he wouldn't let her fall but...SHE WANTED SOMEONE UP HERE WITH HER. "A-Aleron..." she stuttered as her hands shook, "Can y-you get up here with me?" it was pathetic how her eyes started to water up. She was such a wimp.

It sounded very pretty, just as one would expect coming from such a girl. Though why he was even noticing all these things were a complete mystery to him. He was glad when she said that she liked teddy bears, hopefully getting her over her fear wouldn't be too bad. As long as everything went smooth that is. "Weather it's your job or not your putting away your free time to help me." This time he laughed. "No matter, I have too much free time anyways. Plus, I'd rather be with another person than by myself." It was sadly true, Aleron did have too much time on his hands. So to be able to make anew friend and spend sometime with another person was like a little break for him really.
He smirked a bit as he looked up to the girl sitting on the large horse. "A-Aleron..." HE raised a brow. Is she scared already?" He sighed as she spoke again. "Can y-you get up here with me?" How was she supposed to learn when someone was doing everything for her? Though he didn't mind, he understood, a bit at least. "Yeah, Yeah. I'm coming." As he spoke he placed his left foot into the stirrup and hoisted himself up into the saddle behind her. It took him a moment to get comfortable, the saddle that was on the horse was a bit small so it was hard to fit both of them. For some reason it was really bothering him too, plus he didn't want the horse to be uncomfortable. Just screw it. He though as he sat in the saddle and pulled Aless as far into his lap as he could. They finally fit, but maybe they were a bit too close?
It felt a bit awkward in the silence so he decided to go ahead and start with her lesson. Taking her hands with his he placed them on the reins. "You have to hold them like this okay? When you want him to turn just pull a bit on the side of where you want him to go." He demonstrated by pulling the reins to the left and Cocktail's head turned left. Thank god he's being a good horse today.

---------------------- Alessandra raised a brow, he was alone here? She could a sworn that more a lot more people would be into the horseback riding gig. It could have just been her, she always thought that it would be cool to act like a cowgirl and ride off into the sunset yelling 'Ride em' cowboy!' she placed her fingers over her lips to control her smile. The more she thought about that idea the more stupid it sounded. A cowboy hat did sound awesome...and boots too. Maybe the up coming weekend she could go out and buy some! Heh, she could even get a hat for Mr. Aleron over here...How would he act to something like that?
He would have to take the hat weather he liked it or not. She didn't care if it hung up in his room and collect dust, as long as he took it she was fine with that. "Yeah, Yeah. I'm coming." Alessandra clasped her hands together as a bright smile washed over her once scared expression. She was overly happy that he hopped onto the horse behind her. The last thing on her mind was how seriously close they were not to mention that she was sitting on his lap. They were friends now so it made things okay correct?
It was a shame that she couldn't turn around and look at him. She wasn't going to lie, he was cute. Which made all the more reason why she was glad that she had met him. "You have to hold them like this okay? When you want him to turn just pull a bit on the side of where you want him to go." Alessandra nodded now in serious mode. She wasn't going to let Aleron down, she wasn't going to fool around; or at least try not to. "Ohh, like this?" she copied the way he demonstrated but she frowned "We're not hurting Tails right?" she said, Alessandra was never fond of hurting anything and if she did she'd surely cry rivers.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -SOMETIMES I'M A SELFISH FAKEyour always a true friend- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Most of the afternoons he spent at the stable alone. Sure he had lessons throughout the day, but he wouldn't really call it socializing. Especially now that it was starting to get cold, some didn't want to get lessons until the spring. He could understand this, but in the end he was the one left taking care of everyone's horses. Aleron himself preferred private lessons, it was easier to focus on teaching one person than a bunch. Not only that but it was also o control one horse than a bunch. The last thing he needed was a horse getting spooked in the middle of a lesson when there were about five other horses around. That would be disastrous.
He laughed when it seemed Aless was a bit too happy once he joined her on the back of a horse. For now he would just have to ignore the closeness, even if there wasn't even air between them. "Ohh, like this?" He nodded. "Yep, just like that. Though that is just steering, you have a long way to go yet." He chuckled, though soon stopped after hearing her next question. "We're not hurting Tails right?" Yeah right. Like Aleron could hurt his best friend. Leaning forward a bit he placed his chin on Alessandra's shoulder so he could see her face. "Do I look like the kind of guy that would hurt a horse? Or even let you dirty your hand by hurting him?" When it came to animals, and girls, it was almost impossible for him to even think about hurting one. Sure when it came to other guys that were pissing me off, then yeah it was a piece of cake punching a guy.
Shifting his gaze forward he returned his attention on the lesson. "Alight, now I want you to try and make him go." This time he wanted to see if she could do it herself without his help. Sorry Tails if this doesn't turn out good. "Do you know how?" He said chuckling, he knew this was going to be quite interesting.
