Shen

The next day was cloudy, the dark gray clouds promised rain. I was lucky, I got dry to school and from there to the stables, where I, as so often to Philomena and Fergus, my foster horse, took care of me. It distracted me to be with them, even if Philomena always reminded me of Changying. When I finally wanted to leave the yard, I noticed that it had started to rain, and a look into my pocket told me that I had forgotten my umbrella. Really great. I had no desire degree in the rain to walk to the bus stop, which was a long way from the farm, so I entered a side door or the section of the building that was used for administrative offices. Here was always who and there were also a few extra shades, if you take one needed. Unfortunately I had to realize, that I did not hold happiness. All screens were awarded. In addition, Tina, had a riding teachers who went through here just the plans for the next few weeks, even blödere message for me: the bus in my direction turned out there had been a traffic accident and the bus was diverted.

Quietly muttering I went into the hallway, because I did not want to bother looking at the plans Tina, and pulled my cell phone out of his pocket to call my mother. But I rejected the idea again when I saw the time. You would just be on the way to her gymnastics course and thus was unable to pick from here me. The rain had become even stronger and I sighed deeply. Since I would not have much left than when to get out. I would take the bus in the other direction and change there where my bus was diverted. My eyes fell on my phone and my contacts again.

Shen had a car.

Sure, we got along quite well, but we were not best friends, because it certainly was strange when I called him and asked him if he could pick me up. But until I stop would have reached, I would have been completely soaked. Along with the cold that prevailed again, I put perhaps even a common cold. Just before my final exams this was the last thing I wanted. Without hesitation I pressed the call button. Shen answered somewhat breathless after the sixth ring, when I wanted to give it up straight.

"Paula, hi ..."

"Hey, Shen. You, listen, this may sound totally stupid, but I sit tight here. Did you pick me time and desire? "I fell on him directly.

"Uh ... how ...? Where you sit tight? "Shen asked, somewhat confused, I could quite understand. I would have been confused, I would have gotten such a call from someone who was not one of my closest friends.

"I'm on the horse farm and my bus is diverted. And I've unfortunately degree no one to pick me up. My mother is in sports and my father is still working, "I explained.

"Ah ... Hey, clearly not an issue. I'm on my way, "said Shen and I heard a rustle and a moment later a door was opened and closed again. He actually wanted to pick me up. Changying had been right, he was really nice. Your ex would have laughed at me, and finally hung up, I would have asked him for such a favor. We ended the conversation because Shen did not want to make calls while driving, and I went back to the barn over to a little to occupy myself with Fergus. The sand-colored gelding snorted softly as I slipped to him in the box, and rubbed his head against my shoulder.

"Well, Big, I'm back," I said softly and stroked him gently on the cheek, which he liked particularly like. Some boxes had walked a couple of girls busy their horses for riding lessons to prepare, I heard her giggle and talk about something, but I knew no words. So Changying and I were have been, we always had juxtaposed Fergus and Philomena to brush them and saddle them and aufzutrensen, and during this work we had gossiped about God and the world. I buried my face in Fergus' neck and just stood there for a while, until finally my phone vibrated. I looked questioningly at the display and took the incoming call directly contrary, when I realized that it came from Shen.

"Heyyy Shen."

"Hey, I'm here. I stand in the parking lot in front of the administration building, "he said, and I parted from Fergus.

"Okay, I'm almost there," I said and left the box. After I had it locked properly, I went to the administration building over. At the front door waiting for me a surprise, there was Shen, a dripping umbrella in her hand.

"I thought, I will take you right here," he said. "Out there, the flood begins."

"Did I fear," I said. Together we stepped outside and Shen stressed the shield on. It was one of those big umbrellas so that we comfortably fit underneath it. but I was glad when I finally sat in the car, especially as Shen started the engine and turned on the heater.

"What a lousy weather," he was doing on its own.

"But really. And just today I forget my umbrella, "I sighed.

"Well, who you would have achieved nothing. You meant now, thy bus does not run. Or is diverted. "

"Yes, but I would go in the other direction can and where it is diverted, can change. But without screen ... In this weather I'll get me just the flu or something. "

"And that would be bad now real before the tests."

"Just. Thank you, Shen. You've really something good with me. "
