Isabella Evergreen

Isabella was furious that she had to work with Theodore. Questioning why Professor Collins would put her and Theodore together.

She's supposed to meet him in the library. That was fifteen minutes ago. It was 22:15 and she was laying in her bed, trying to read her book, Romeo and Juliet. She couldn't focus on the book because she was thinking too much.

She was debating if she should go or not. If she didn't go she would probably not go the next day or the day after that and soon fail the assignment. But, she didn't want to fail because they would probably call her father and he would hit her right when she would walk in through those doors at her fathers house. But, if she did go she wouldn't fail the assignment or get another bruise from her father.

Bloody hell. She got up from her bed, grabbed her bookbag, and walked to the library. She knew she was making a bad decision to go with him. They would do nothing but argue. She knew it and she thinks Theodore did too.

She quietly walked down the halls and walked in the library. When she turned around she saw Theodore making out with a  girl. Alana Gardiner.

They didn't notice her. They were too busy sucking each other's faces off. Isabella cleared her throat, "sorry, am I interrupting something?" She asked them. They both looked at her.

"Er- I should be going." Alana picked up her coat and left the room.

"Sorry we-"

"No, it's not your fault," Isabella smiled. "I just didn't know that our studying meant that we were supposed to make out with people. So, sorry.That I didn't bring a boy with me." she says sarcastically.

He just glared at her and scoffed, shaking his head.
She sat at the table and laid her book bag on the floor, beside her. "So what is this project?" She asked him as he sat across from her.

"About London's history." He told her.

"Okay then. Let's get started." They got out their textbooks and started studying.

They were surrounded by piles of books, as they were studying. They were also using their laptops for more information.

Theodore was asking her little questions like: how are you, how was your day, have you done your homework yet, the little things. She found it weird. That he was asking her questions. But, she still answered him.

While they were studying, Isabella's phone rang. She checked who it was, Katherine.

"Hey," Isabella whispered. "i'm kinda busy. Can you call me when I get to my dorm?"

"Isabella, you need to come to your dorm now." Katherine sounded nervous. Scared. That's what made Isabella worried.

"Y- yeah. Okay, I'll be there in five minutes." She stuttered and hung up the phone. But, she just sat there. Worried. Wondering what's going on.

Eventually Theodore noticed her just staring at nothing. "You alright?" He asked her.

But, she didn't say anything to him. She just sat there.

Minutes later, she stood up and started packing her things in her book bag. "I have to go." She said as she wrapped the bag around her and walked out without saying anything else to each other.

When she was outside her dorm, she hesitated to open the door. But, the door opened for her. She saw someone she didn't expcet to see until summer.

"Hello, Bells. Missed me?"
