Once Upon A Time: Michael & Isabelle

A Bit of Past

The moment Michael left in the woods towards the party going on, I was left with my own thoughts and flames to stare at.
My cheeks were still burning with a shade of pink on them. I've never been this close to him ever since he left school in the second grade. He returned years later and forgot about us, all of it.

"What you're doing here alone dumbo" I came back from the bitter sweet memories as my only best friend taylor called me with my nickname that she invented.

She's kind and direct about her thoughts, a total opposite character than myself. I love her and met her after Michael left school back then. Taylor gives me strength for everything.

"Nothing" I replied snapping out of my headspace.

"Why are you not in the camping party there?" I asked.

"Because I missed you and came back" I can sense a bit of liquor from her breath even from a meter away. God knows how these party animals schemed liquor in the sight of teachers on camp.

Taylor dumped her head on my shoulder and I dragged her to our camp alone, she's heavy but I'm heavier.

Next Day we treked and did all the good camping stuff. But still the highlights were the moments I spent with Michael. It was after an eternity we talked even for a few minutes.

while returning in our buses he didn't looked at me once. I neither expected anything from him anyways. "I just need to return the jacket and nothing to do with Michael anymore" I thought to myself as I know we don't belong to the same world. We can not exist together I know & i've had enough drama in my life.

I peeked outside my window for the whole journey and saw trees passing behind and trip ended peacefully, sort of.

"Hello Isabelle, long time no see?"

"Yeah, umm hi Michael"

What a small world to meet him on the first day of school after summer break. He's beaming those perfect smile attacks at me and I'm on my knees for those eyes big as a golf ball, not really but the perfect model type he is.
