Izzy's final year in high school had drawn to a close, and with the arrival of spring, she made her way to the park to join her friends. Today was all about commemorating their graduation. The park was alive with the beauty of cherry blossoms in full bloom, attracting bustling crowds—families relishing moments together, friends laughing, couples strolling hand in hand, and children gleefully chasing one another.
Amongst this vibrant atmosphere, Izzy approached the designated picnic spot where her friends had gathered, ready to celebrate their shared achievement.
As Izzy continued walking toward her friends, a sudden collision interrupted her path—a young boy had run into her. Concerned, she knelt down and asked, "Hey there, are you alright?" The boy nodded in response. Izzy inquired further, "What's your name?"
The boy answered, "My name's Izaiah." Izzy's eyes widened slightly, and she chuckled softly, "Wow, that's interesting. My older brother is also named Izaiah." The boy seemed thrilled by the coincidence and replied enthusiastically, "That's so cool."
However, their interaction was momentarily interrupted as the boy's mother called out, "Izaiah, come back here, baby." With a quick wave goodbye, the young Izaiah dashed back to his mother's side, leaving Izzy smiling at the delightful encounter.
Luiz caught sight of Izzy and waved, prompting her to join their group. Walking over to them, Luiz greeted her, "What took you so long, sweetie?" Izzy explained, "A little boy collided with me. I was making sure he was okay."
Blake interjected, "Come on, Izzy, you were the last one to arrive." Izzy apologized, "Sorry, guys."
Curious, Jay inquired, "Didn't DJ and BJ come?" Izzy responded, "Dad gave them work, but they asked me to congratulate all of you."
Evy chimed in, "That's sweet of them."
Jade shifted the conversation, saying, "Now Izzy, we need to know about everything." Jay added, "Yeah, you know Luiz calls it the 'Vengeance of Izabella'." Izzy chuckled, replying, "Fine, I will tell you guys everything while we eat."
As they reveled in their celebration, a voice interrupted their joy. Someone stood behind Izzy and warmly said, "Congrats on graduating, little tiger." Izzy turned around and smiled as she recognized the voice, softly speaking, "Izaiah."
