Chapter three

Isabella Evergreen

As Isabella was running, she heard someone call after her. A voice she never heard before. A boy's voice. But, she still ran. She ran as fast as she could until she was almost at her dorm andthe boy caught up to her and turned her around.

"Don't touch me." Isabella growled.

The boy let go of her. "I'm sorry. I-"

"Don't. I don't want your pity, you horrible boy. So, don't. Don't you dare talk to me." She cut him off angrily. Tears were lurking in her eyes.

The boy looked angry at her. "I was going to apologize for whoever did that to you, but never mind. You don't need my pity, right?"

"Right. I don't need it one tiny bit." They looked at each other coldly in the eye. The boy scoffed and walked away. Isabella let out her breath without knowing she held it in.

Katherine came around the corner and walked towards Isabella. Isabella spotted her and Katherine hugged her. Isabella was sobbing on her shoulder. Katherine rubbed her back, trying to comfort her.

"They know. They know about my scars and bruises," Isabella mumbled.

"I know, Bella," she cooed. "Come on. Let's go inside and get you cleaned up, okay?"

Isabella nodded and both of the girls went inside arm in arm. Katherine sat Isabella on the bed and walked to her closet. She picked out clothes for her and put them beside Isabella. "This is for you to change. I'll be in the bathroom for a minute."

Isabella liked Katherine taking care of her. She always felt safe with her. She was the one person she could rely on and know she will always be there for her. She was. She was always there for her.

Once Isabella changed she shouted loud enough for Katherine to hear her that she was done. She came out of the bathroom with clothes from my closet on her and her dress in her hands. Isabella laid on the bed and Katherine laid next to her. Isabella was laying on her side when Katherine held her. Katherine was comforting her until she fell asleep.

"I'm sorry I ruined your night with that guy," Isabella whispered.

"You didn't ruin anything, Bella," Katherine said. " I left him because he was already taken by someone else."

"Really? Who?" Isabella questioned. "I hope she was in love with him, because you're much too pretty to be taken down by any guy."

Katherine smiled. "Thank you, Bella. But, she was a he."

"Oh." Isabella realised. "Well good for them," she smiled, "wish them a happy relationship." Both of the girls laughed.

The next day, Isabella started her first day of class. She wasn't as excited as she was yesterday because of what happened last night, but she can still pretend she was excited. As she was walking to class someone bumped into her, making her drop her books that were in her hands. "Watch where you're going," she mumbled.

As she was picking up her books a tall boy stood over her. "What was that?" she heard him say.

She sighed. "I said watch where you- oh." Once she looked at the boy she realised who the boy was. It was the boy from last night. "It's you," She murmured.

He had a smug look on his face, "It's me."

She rolled her eyes and tried to pass him, but he wouldn't let her.

"Can you move? I'm going to be late for class."

"Now where's the fun in that?" he grinned.

"Move, you twat." she continued trying to pass him, but he still wouldn't let her.

He chuckled. "What's the magic word?"

She looked at him coldly. Everyone was already in their classes but them. She was going to be late if he didn't move. She didn't want to be late on her first day. She didn't want the Headmaster to ring her father. Who knows what he would do to her if he found out she missed class.

Isabella groaned and walked away from him. She was going to go another way to class. Was. A professor spotted her. Oh god, she thought.

"Miss. Evergreen, what are you doing out of class?" someone asked her.

She turned and saw Professor Tyana looking at her. Shit. "I had to use the loo, professor," she lied.

Professor Tyana looked at her for a moment. "Alright, Miss. Evergreen. Hurry now, I don't want you to miss your class."

"Of course, Professor." she smiled and the professor walked away. Isabella huffed and walked the longer way to class.

Once she was in class, the professor looked at her. "Miss. Evergreen. I'm going to have to give you detention if you're late again."

"Sorry, professor." Isabella smiled and sat in the back corner of the classroom with an empty seat next to hers.

Not long after Isabella sat down another student walked in the classroom. She didn't bother to look up. She just scribbled in her note book until class started.
"Mister. Theodore Scott? Is it?" She heard the professor say. She didn't know anyone named Theodore Scott. She looked up. Theodore Scott, was the boy from last night. Her eyes widened.

He's a Scott? She questioned t0 herself. There's no way. He couldn't be.

The Scott family is the most wealthy family in London besides Queen Elizabeth. Isabella and Katherine used to walk by his huge house all the time. Rumour has it that the Scotts had gone and worked for the Queen in the 1900's. When the Scotts retired from working with the Queen, she gave them a life worth of a fortune. They gave them money, gold, diamonds, and purls. It was much too much for just them, so they put the money in a safe to keep it for their children. The children are Theodore's parents. Mr and Mrs Scott.

"Yes, Professor collins." Theodore smiled.

The professor smiled. "Good to meet you, Mister, Scott. You can go and sit," he looked around the classroom, "just by Miss, Evergreen." He pointed at the seat next to her.

Great. Just great. She thought to herself. She groaned and laid her forehead on the desk.

She heard him sit at the empty seat next to her. The class started, while her head was still on the desk.

"Psst," she heard Theodore whisper. She ignored him. She felt a paper ball hit her head and she quickly looked at him.

"What," she whispered.

"Do you have a pencil?" He asked her.

"Yes." She replied.

She could tell he was waiting for her to give him one but she didn't.

"Well," he cleared his throat."Can I borrow one?"

"No thanks," she faked a smile at the boy.

"Come on! I'm going to need to take the notes."

"Well you should have thought of that before you made me late for class." she said angrily.

"Come on-"

"Miss Evergreen, Mister, Scott. Detention for
misbehaving in my class. You both can come back to my classroom after your classes are over." Professor Collins said to both of them.

They both groaned. "Way to go, you twat." Isabella mumbled to theodore.
________________________________

Detention was horrible for Isabella. She had to clean two classrooms. Theodore didn't really help her, so she had to do it by herself. She was tired after detention. It took her fifteen minutes just to get to her dorm and it usually takes her at least under ten. But, when she got to her dorm, she was surprised to see who was in her dorm.
