Jace's POV-
Isabela wasn't talking to me the next morning. She slept over, but she didn't let me touch her. I'm not even sure I wanted to sleep with her after that. We ended up arguing in the middle of the night and she took take aUber back home. In the shower, I massaged my hands through the shampoo in my hair and sighed. I was an ass, I know that. I was frustrated. Sometimes Isabela is my biggest advocate, and my biggest obstacle. It's hard to get through to her. Smoothing my hair back, I turned the shower off and got out, getting back in bed with my towel and my phone. I called Isabela.
No answer. I tossed my phone away and shook my head. Fuck it. My thoughts began circulating around Riele. How she's never acted like a fucking baby every time I said something she didn't like. She would be upset and try to talk to me about it. She never would shut me out like this.
"Ugh!"
I punched my pillow and got up, going to my closet to get dressed. Why the hell am I always comparing Isabela to that girl? I shut Riele out of my thoughts and pulled a t-shirt down over my head. It's been almost a month since we broke up. I still wonder, I wonder what she's doing right now.

Riele's POV-
"Keep your back straight, your chin up and let your hips guide your body."
Reiya said with her hand under her chin. She watched me walk across the stretch of living room from the kitchen to the dining room, studying my every move. We've been at this for hours and squaring my shoulders was starting to kill them, but I didn't let up on myself.
"Better, but needs to be perfect. Do it again."
She said. I took a deep breath and nodded, straightening my back, lifting my chin and swaying my hips exactly as she taught me. I walked from the dining room to the kitchen and back to the living-room.
"Looking good, you might actually get this right before the day is over."
Reiya patted my back and handed me a water bottle.
"Oh, thank god."
I cracked the top off and took a huge gulp, wiping my hand across my forehead. Ella, who had been sitting on the sidelines watching me, titled her head.
"Maybe it would help if you walked like you were on your way to ruin Jace's life, because that's basically what you're about to do."
She grinned and slapped high fives with Reiya.
"Exactly!"
I gave a modest smile and shrugged.
"I dunno, maybe... If any of this actually works."
I said, taking another sip of water. I've gotten used to walking with my head down recently, it feels good to look up for once.
"Of course it'll work, we're making progress here and for just a few hours of practice. You're doing amazing."
Reiya offered me an encouraging smile.
"Uh-oh."
Ella suddenly looked up from her phone with a strange look on her face. It was like a cross between disgust and sympathy.
"What's up?"
"Looks like Jace has moved on pretty quickly."
She raised her phone and turned the screen around.
"Holy shit..."
I muttered, grabbing her phone. Reiya looked over my shoulder and made a choking sound at the back of her throat. We were looking at an Instagram picture of Jace and his new girlfriend... Isabela Moner.
