Friends Forever

Chapter 1 '♥*''*•.¸ ღஜღ ¸.•*''*♥' Challenge Accepted

"I wanna give you something Isabella," Justin says. "What is it Justin?" I ask. "Here, a necklace. My mommy told me to give you this." Justin shows me a half a heart necklace, he has the other half. "Why?" "I don't know. Maybe because it's pretty and we both have one." "Thank you so much. I'm gonna miss you when you go to Stratford." "I'm gonna miss you too, Izzy..."

11 years later...

"Oh my gosh Izzy I'm telling you this guy really likes you but he's ugly and cheerleaders shouldn't be with ugly people you know that, don't you?"

"You're being mean Veronica. He likes me and not you so don't worry too much and he's not that ugly."

"Still, he's ugly. Anyway, can I have some lipgloss?"

"Sure, I think I have an unused one here."

"Thanks babe!"

This is a normal day for me. Yes, I'm a cheerleader and most of the cheerleaders around me are just big fat meanies. I mean, who would call someone ugly without them getting to know that person first? Anyway, here I am at school getting ready for the football game.

"Eew Kathryn are you eating chocolate?" Veronica asks Kathryn. Kathryn loves sweets but cheerleaders can't eat sweets, it will make us fat.

"Yeah why?" Kathryn asks.

"It will make you fat. This school has never had a fat cheerleader."

"That's so mean Veronica," I say. I turn to Kathryn who is starting to cry. "No no don't cry. You're not fat. Just reduce your chocolate consumption, eat less sweets okay? After finishing that piece I want you to drink lots of water then go pee then run okay? Hush now."

"Okay thanks Izzy, you're such an angel," Kathryn says as she wipes her little tears.

"Go ahead then," I say then turn to Veronica when Kathryn leaves. "That was harsh Veronica. You're so evil."

"It was a joke and she's not fat. I said it will make her fat."

I smirk and just say "Whatever you say. The game begins in 30 minutes. Come on."

We walk to the bleachers where our cheerleading coach is and base on the look on her face, I know there is something wrong.

"What's up Ms. Bauer?" I ask. All of us crowd her, waiting for her reply.

"I've got bad news girls. The game is cancelled. It's moved to the twentieth of May. I'm sorry girls," she says.

"That's fine Ms. Bauer. I need to go shopping anyways," I say.

"Oh yeah. Can I come?" Veronica asks.

"Sure. I'll go get dressed and also call Kathryn." I see Veronica roll her eyes so I ask her "What's wrong?"

"Here comes Matt again! Why can't he just leave me alone?"

"Cause he's your boyfriend silly."

"It annoys me. Anyway let's go." Kathryn grabs my arm and drags me to the changing room but Matt catches up with us.

"Hey Izzy!" Matt greets.

"Hey Matt.." I force a fake smile and roll my eyes. Matt is the fakest boyfriend ever. I've seen him cheat on Veronica once but she didn't believe me.

"Hey there my lady.." he tells Veronica as he slaps her ass.

"Hey Matt.." Veronica says.

"How's everything doing?" Matt asks.

"Nothing. We were just on our way to the changing room to change but unluckily you caught up with us so we're leaving you here. K bye!" I drag Veronica to the changing room and we both laugh when we get there.

"You so nailed him!" Veronica tells me.

"Haha no biggie!"

We get all dressed up and ready then we call Kathryn to come with us. When she gets here, we all head to the mall. Jaron drives for us

The day goes by, we buy peep toe platform pumps, jeans, shorts, tops and stuff. It's already 7 p.m. when we get home.

"Izzy dear how was the game?" my mom asks.

"Oh the game? It was cancelled. I don't know why. Mom, I need challenge in my life."

"What do you mean? If you want challenge, go join millitary."

"Mom. no. What I mean is you know, I get everything I want. For once, I wanna do something for myself. I wanna work hard for something I want. Well my point is, I wanna have a job like those people who are not like me."

"You can't have a job," my dad who comes from nowhere says. "We don't want you to experience what we experienced, what we went through. It's hard."

"I just want a job, is that too much to ask for?"

"No honey. That's too hard to ask for," mom says.

"But I wanna work!" I response.

"You will when you own our company," my dad says.

"I want to work as a McDonald's cashier or a maid. I want to be like those normal teenagers who start working when they turn 15! and I'm 17!"

"You're still not going to work," mom insists. "You're rich and people who work at 15 are poor."

"That's harsh, please just let me get a job!"

"Still no. What your mom said is what your mom said," my dad agrees with my mom.

"Fine then! I'm going to sleep!"

I go to my room and don't worry about the conversation with my parents. I make scenarios of me working at MickeyD's in my head then eventually fall asleep.

The next morning, I wake up and brush my teeth. Still in my pj's, I go downstairs to have breakfast. They prepare turkey ham, slices of bread and juice for me. My parents usually leave very early in the morning escpecially on Saturday's and it's Saturday today.

Jaron comes in and greets "Good morning Izzy."

I smile and say "Good morning Jay. You heard my convo with my parents last night, right?"

He nods and says "Yes, indeed."

"And wasn't I right though? I mean, look at you. You're nineteen and you're working for me. I want to have the same experience."

"I don't know Izzy. Your parents won't let you get a job."

"Yeah I know. I can't wait for summer so I can secretly have a job," I say sadly.

"Isn't it your two week sping break though?" he said.

"YES! And I have an idea!" I raise two eyesbrows.

"I don't like the sound of this."

"You will find me a job. Find all connections you have. I will spend two weeks working! Briliiant isn't it?" I say.

"Sure Izzy."

"You can do it now," I tell him.

"What? You wanna do it right now?" he asks.

"Yes, right now. Indeed. Call someone now." I watch him as he calls people. My parents are famous for being successful just like the Kardashians. Wait, I don't know what they are famous for but pretty much like it. Since my parents are known, people know me and my guard, I will get a job faster.

"I've called all my connections and Kenny said they're needing a personal assistant slash maid," Jaron says after he ends his calls.

"Great, whoever Kenny is. Exactly what I wanna do. So when do I start?"

"Tomorrow. You're gonna have to go there early."

"Challenge accepted. But all of us will have to keep this as secret. Neither the people at my school nor my parents will know that I'm working okay? And this Kenny guy won't know that I'm rich alright?"

"Alright deal."
