My name is Isabelle Rowling. I am 16 years old, I have light wavy brown hair that falls to my hips. Unlike most people I have yellow eyes. I am not considered tall, but that's alright. My two best friends are named Lucy and Heather. I have known them my whole lives and I couldn't have asked for better friends.

I live in a suburban area in the city of London. I have an obnoxious younger brother, Dominique, who is 14 years old, as well as my parents, Craig and Sophia.

I'm a very laid back person with a huge passion for drawing and piano. My parents like to say I was gifted with such talent, but I don't like to think of it that way. Another thing I really love doing is reading. Many people don't like it as much as I do, but it's an escape from the world you're already in.

I've always dreamed of a fairy tale ending, and that's what I got, but not how you would think.

One morning on my way to school I was in a rush and wasn't paying attention to where I was going and ran into someone. My books fell to the ground and so did I.

I looked up and there was a hand in my view, I took the boys hand and propped myself on my feet.

"I'm Harry, are you alright?" he smiled.

"Yes, Thank you, I'm Isabelle" I replied

There was a pause of silence. So I decided to speak.

"Well, uh, I better get to school" I shyly spoke.

"Where do you go? I could walk you there" The sweet looking boy offered.

"It's just down the street, Parkdale high" I told him.

"What a coincidence that's where I'm headed" he smirked.

"Well I guess you could walk me there then" I giggled

We walked in silence mostly until we reached the school.

"Maybe I'll see you later" he said

"Possibly" I replied awkwardly

He was a marvellous looking boy I think he was about 17 years of age. He had stunning green eyes and the cutest set of dimples. I was walking in a daze towards my first period art class. I walked to the entrance and found Heather waving me over to her.

"Hey Is, why are you late? You're never late" she laughed.

"I made a run in with a boy" I started to blush

"A boy? What was his name?" She asked.

"Harry" I smiled

"Is he new?"

"I'm not sure, I've never seen him before, apparently he goes here though" I explained.

It was finally the end of the day and I tried to escape as quickly as possible until I felt a pair of hands grab my wrist. The person spun me around and I found it to be Harry. I was quite startled.

"Sorry for that, but I was just wondering if you maybe wanted to go on a date with me tonight?" He asked biting his lip.

"Uh well I'm not sure. Sorry I'm gonna have to say no. I'm sorry" I spoke and I could see the sadness spring in his eyes. I just quickly got away from him. I mean he's very attractive and all it was just too sudden. We only spoke once, this morning.

I began my walk home, I followed along the streets and took a detour. I came across an abandoned park from when I was little. I decided to investigate it, I walked down the small path in which were filled with rose bushes. When I finally reached the end I noticed how wrecked and ugly it would appear to other people but I found it to look truly beautiful and like a piece of art. I put my bag down and sat on the swing. I took out my sketch book and began drawing the beauty that I found in the park that sat in front of me.

While I was lost in my drawing I heard a couple footsteps. I looked behind me to see who was there and to my surprise is was none other than Harry.

"How did you know I was here?" I asked confused.

"I followed you, sorry if that sounds a little weird." He laughed showing his dimples.

"Not at all" I sarcastically replied

"What are you drawing?" he looked over my shoulder.

"The park" I smiled.

"It's quite lovely, you have talent, Isabelle" he grinned

"Thank you, and sorry for rejecting your asking for a date" I looked down

"It's alright, you don't know me I just wanted to get to know you, and a date seemed like a good way to do that" he shyly told me.

"Well why not make this a date, you can ask me questions and I'll answer if you truly do want to get to know me" I laughed.

"I'd prefer to just watch you draw" he said while watching me in my works.

While I finally finished my drawing I looked up and saw Harry, his eyes meeting mine.

"Bored yet?" I smiled

"Not at all" he spoke honestly

"Do you have any other talents?" He added

"Well I play the piano, not much else and I wouldn't really consider it a talent, just something I enjoy doing" I replied

"Play for me sometime?" He asked

"I don't usual play in front of other people" I trailed off

"Why not?"

"I just don't like the idea of messing up and then being embarrassed" I laughed silently

"Oh well there's nothing to be afraid of, I did it for about 7 weeks on the x-factor, until I got kicked off. I guess my singing became a bore to people afterwards."

"You we're on x-factor!?" I exclaimed.

"Yeah, did you watch it?"

"Well I've never, I just know the show" I explained.

"Oh, well yes I was on there. I hope to make it big someday though."

"I'm sure you will, you should sing for me sometime" I smirked

"When you play the piano for me" he cheekily smiled at me.

He was a very intriguing boy, we talked for hours and I learned so much about him and his life it was lovely, I've never told someone so much about myself, from only knowing them for less than 12 hours.

"I really should be going home now" I told him

"I'll walk you" he kindly offered and I accepted.

"I guess I'll see you at school tomorrow, Isabelle?" He asked

"Ya probably, and sorry again for rejecting the date offer." I said to him while removing my gaze from his eyes.

"It's ok I'm glad it turned out this way" he smiled and left my house swiftly.
