chapter fifteen

Theodore Scott

After he grabbed his coat, he walked down the hall, to the outside. When he got outside he saw Isabella on her phone.

She doesn't really go on it as much as their other classmates. He only saw her on her phone a few times a week. He thought she only spent her time reading, doing school work, or studying.

When she saw him, she smiled as he walked to her.

"Ready?" she asked him.

He nodded yes in response and they both walked out of campus. As they were walking in the fall breeze Theodore saw the shop.

"Theodore." Isabella said.

"Yeah?" Theodore looked at her.

"Can you buy me a pack?" she asked.

"Yeah, sure."

"How much is it?" she pulled out her wallet, asking the question.

"12.57."

She gave him the money and she waited outside as he bought the cigarettes. He bought the same pack as his for her because he didn't know what kind she wanted. Once he gave her the pack, she opened it and put the smoke between her lips. She eyed him and the cigarette, jestering him to light it for her.

Theodore dug in his pocket and pulled out his lighter. As he lit the cigarette for her they looked into each other's eyes. Theodore looked in many people's eyes. Each time he did he saw lust, happiness, jealousy, sadness, even a sparkle. But, for isabellas. He didn't see any sort of emotion. Not even a sparkle.

Once he lit the cigarette, she let the smoke go in and out of her lungs. And they started walking again. They walked past shops and the pubs without saying a word.

"This walk is not awkward at all." the voice said sarcastically out of nowhere.

"Bloody hell." he said to it in annoyance.

"I'm just saying. It's awkward between you two." it said.

"Yeah? So what."

"So don't make it so damn awkward." it snapped.

Theodore rolled his eyes to himself and looked at isabella. "There's a party tonight," he said to her. "We should go."

She looked at him. "Do you remember the last time we went to a party?"

Oh. The last time they both went to a party he accidentally poured a bucket of water on her thinking it was Anabelle. Her, Cole and him had some sort of prank going on that day. It stopped after the bucket of water thing because of what they saw on isabella.

"Yes, I remember. But, it wasn't meant for you. Promise. It was for a friend of mine, Annabelle Gardiner, you both had the same clothes and hair that night, I couldn't tell the difference." he said as an apology.

She looked at him for a moment. "Fine. we can go, as friends.

"Friends." the voice said. "Like I said. She'll tell you everything before you know it."

"I didn't know Alana Gardiner had a sister. They don't even look alike." She brought up.

"They're not. Cousins." he corrected her.

Once they came back to school. They both went to Isabella's dorm. As Isabella got ready, Theodore sat on the bed like he was watching television. It really was like watching one when a girl gets ready. They go in and out of the bathroom, taking things out from the closet, putting things in the closet. He found it entertaining.
