The Secrets Of The Girl Next Door

1

"I done had some conversations that can't be repeated
For the sake of some of my niggas' freedom
We done did some shit, I know so many secrets
Tell them other niggas that know 'em, I hope y'all can keep 'em
I know about some situations I can't ever say
'Cause they can get us life, so I can't ever break
I just pray to God I make it through the day
'Cause I done did some shit I'm takin' to the grave"

Isabella Alyssa Grace who was affectionately called Izzy or Bella is known to be a sweet girl, straight A student and even raises money to help her sick grandmother. Everybody has secrets, but not her. Well, she has one selling weed but that's hardly rebellious is it?

She sells it along side her plant business which she set up to help her grandmother. Which would be a sweet thing if her grandmother needed help, her grandmother had been living in Europe doing things which Izzy had no intention of finding out. So what if she made a little cash using a little pity nobody got hurt. You would do it too if you could get away with it, after all who would suspect a sweet girl to be a supplier, not Izzy with her angelic baby face.

Izzy sat waiting for Ellie to show up, had been for the past ten minutes. Where the hell has she gone? She questioned her self. El had been saying something about leaving her bag in a classroom so she must be there.

Izzy began to walk to the classroom as she walked out of the halls, streamers were being put up while others were cramming hoping to learn everything before the exams. Five months then everyone was free to part ways and get out of town.

As she was almost there, a door stood slightly open. "You don't tell anyone about this. Am I clear Ellie?" "Crystal but" Izzy friend was cut off. "It's none of your business so you drop it or it won't be pretty, am I understood Parker" Adrian voice threatened. She moved out of the way as his footsteps came closer. "Is there a problem princess?" "No it would be beneath you but I'll give you a word of warning, you talk to her like that again we'll see where you are tomorrow" Izzy told him. "Gonna cry to daddy that the big bad wolf is scary. Grow up and stop living your delusional life you can't rely on daddy's money your whole life" he replied before brushing her shoulder and walking away.

"El are you in here?" She called as she entered. Seeing her friend curled into a ball she rushed over "what happened Jem" she consoled, rubbing her hands over her arms. "Was it Adrian, cause I'll kill him" Ellie chocked out "no, it wasn't don't do anything" "then what was it babe? You can tell me. You do trust me right?" "I do but I can't tell you. It's not my secret to share"

* Skip paragraph
"alright come on eat something I know you haven't eaten today and I need you to eat something." "I don't think I can" "you were doing so good, what happened?" "I can't say but I promise I'll eat at home" "you and I both know that's a lie El. Please don't do this, I almost lost you once I can't go through that again" "just today, then I'll eat tomorrow. I promise you Bella, I just can't today." "Alright."

What secret was Adrian hiding and did it link to why Ellie refused to eat. It must have been something because this morning she was fine. She had to get to the bottom of what Ellie saw in that room. She would find out somehow.

The rest of the day passed with Isabella in thought, determined to find out. She didn't have to pay attention it was revision before they would finally get exam leave and be on their merry way.

"Alright, you rowdy bunch. Quieten down. As many of you know and insist on reminding me every day, you have five months left in this place before you leave. Would you shut up for one minute Ally, your friends will still be here after I've finished. As I was saying it's not long now til each of you leave and achieve some of your dreams. I want you to create something of your time here in what ever way you wish as long as it is appropriate Dean and Adam. This project will give you something to do other than revising in my lessons or talking about your latest conquest James which I could care less about. The list is one the front desk on who your partner is, you've got a month and you're dismissed." Professor Santiago walked out of the class to avoid the commotion and whines to be put with their friends.

She looked around, El had been paired with Angel - at least that what she asked everyone to call her. Angel had sapphire eyes, jet black hair and looked liked an incarnation of snow white. Ellie had always had a slight crush on her and the blush on her cheeks seemed to be permanent.

Izzy stood to read who she had been paired with when Juliet dropped her bags on the desk and sat in the chair. "This is how it's gonna be, we're going to complete the work in this week and then go our separate ways" "that's fine with me" the rest of the afternoon was spent with Izzy biting her tongue and clenching her fists as Juliet began to talk the whole afternoon, disregarding all of Isabella ideas. She couldn't lose her cool, not when she was supposed to be that sweet girl who came from a messed up family and turned out perfect.
