Izzy was in the kitchen making dinner

Izzy was in the kitchen making dinner. Both her parents were out town at a business conference. Her brother, Shawn, was in New York at college, so she had the entire house to herself.

Just when she had finished the dishes she heard the front door open. Izzy's brows furrowed in confusion. Who could that be?

She made her way to the door and she couldn't believe what she saw. Her brother.

"What are you doing here," she asked. Shawn put his bag down at the floor. "Nice to see you too, sis." "I'm serious. Why aren't you at college," she asked. He quickly looked at his watch. "I'm starving. What's for dinner?" He asked walking past his sister and in to the kitchen.

"Shawn, what's going on?" She asked as she followed him in to the kitchen. Shawn turned around and looked at her. "I-I got kicked out off college." Izzy's jaw dropped.

"What? Why?" She asked. "Apparently the headmaster wasn't a huge fan of my behavior," he said getting a glass of water. "Does mom or dad know?" "What's with all the questions? I'm going upstairs," he told his little sister.

Izzy looked at the phone hanging on the wall. She slowly made her way over to it. The number to her mom was dialed. It rang two times before she picked up. "Mom? There's something I need to tell you."

It was the next day and Izzy was hanging out with Pacey and Dawson at the Icehouse.

"This is my big break. Gold's going to let me in the class officially. I'm on the crew for Helmets of Glory. I'm a PA for Nellie. It's a test," Dawson told his friends. "Yeah, pure humiliation," Pacey joked. "That's the point," Dawson explained.

Joey came over with their food and sat down beside Dawson. "Of course, this completely ruins my romantic plan with Jen," Dawson said. "Which was?" Izzy asked. "Yeah, I thought you were working on your own movie," Joey added.

"I was going to do both. The last scene when the beauty says goodbye to the beast. I was thinking of filming it up at the ruins," Dawson explained. "Oh, the perfect place to seduce the young and beautiful actress playing Penelope. You dog, you are sly," Pacey laughed.

"You make it sound so cheap," Dawson frowned. Joey noticed a young guy, Anderson, entering the Icehouse. And in that second it completely impossible to get Joey's attention.

"Who is that guy?" Dawson asked curiously. "Who? He? I don't know what you're talking about," Joey lied. "Oh, is that Anderson?" Izzy said wiggling her eyebrows. Joey gave her best friend a look. "Shh." She immediately regretted telling her friend about him.

"Anderson, huh? Sounds fancy," Pacey stated. "Yeah, he is fancy. He and his family are on a sailboat trip," Izzy explained. "Sailboat trip? That is fancy," Dawson said feeling a little stressed.

"Okay, new subject. Can I get you guys anything?" Joey asked. "I'm picking up a delivery," Dawson said. "And I want something sexy. I got a date tonight," Pacey said. "Who's the unlucky lady?" Izzy joked causing Joey to giggle. "Dawson, what is it that makes a lady horny?" Pacey continued. "Oysters?" "That's it. Pack of oysters, Joey."

After she'd been at the icehouse Isabelle headed home. As soon as she had made her way in she met a angry brother. Izzy knew exactly why he was angry.

"You told mom I got kicked out of college?" He asked furiously. "Of course. What else should I've done?" She defended. "Maybe, just maybe, stay out of it." "They would've found out eventually."

"Yeah, from me, they would hear it from me. Not my snobby little sister," he snapped. Izzy rolled her eyes. "Don't blame it on me. It was not my fault you got kicked out. Maybe if you just for once in your life actually cared and tried you wouldn't be in this situation." "Unbelievable," Shawn said as he stormed out the house.

Izzy was walking down the dock when she spotted a familiar face. It was Will working out.  God he's gorgeous. Why did I  break things of with him, she thought.

"Hey," Will said as he noticed her. Izzy snapped out of her thoughts. "Hey," she said making her way over to him. "Haven't seen you in a while." Will shrugged. "Didn't really think you wanted me around."

"That wasn't the case. I was just confused and didn't know what I wanted." "Do you know now?" He asked. Izzy shook her head. "Well, let me know when you've figured and remember I'm not gonna wait around forever," he told her as he continued to work out.

Izzy couldn't stop thinking about Will the rest of the they. She needed someone to voice their opinion. So she went to the person she thought had the most open mind out Will.

"Why are you talking to me about this?" Dawson asked confused. "I just wanted your opinion," she explained. "The why not go to Jen or Joey or even Pacey?" "I'm talking to Jen at the moment, and Joey seriously? She just noticed the opposite sex."

"And Pacey?" Dawson asked, because the way he saw it Izzy and Pacey where way closer. "Uh, why would I ask Pacey," she said avoiding having to answer. "Why'd you ask me?" "I don't  know of a more honest person," Izzy begged.

Dawson looked around the video shop to assure there weren't any costumers. "I don't really know the guy, but the way I see it, he's trouble." Izzy rolled her eyes. "I knew you wouldn't understand."

"What? You asked for my opinion," Dawson stated. "Yeah, because I thought you would be more open minded. Wasn't it you who said don't judge a book by its cover." "Never said that. Besides it sounds like you already know what you want," Dawson told her.

Just when Izzy were about to say something Pacey walked into the store. "Hey," he said. Dawson looked at his clock. "You were supposed to be here hours ago." "I know. I got caught up," Pacey said with a smirk. Dawson rolled his eyes. "I don't even wanna know."

Dawson got up from his seat and started taking his coat on. "Wait, you're leaving?" Izzy began. "We're not done talking." "You're not. I was done hours ago," Dawson said tired. Izzy gave him an offended look. "I'm sorry, but I have to go shoot the last scene." Izzy rolled her eyes. "You better go then." A huge smile came across Dawson face as he ran out of the store.

"Since when were you and Dawson talking?" He asked. "Since now." "About?" "That's none of your business." "Come on Iz, tell me," he begged.

"I'm getting back together with Will," she blurted. For a second Pacey actually looked hurt. "Oh, you sure that's a good idea?" Once again Izzy rolled her eyes. "I knew you wouldn't understand," she said as she made her way towards the door.

"Wait, I'm just looking out for you here," Pacey explained. "Well, I'm not a little girl anymore," she said as she walked out the door. Pacey was left in despair.

The next Isabelle knew she was standing at Will's front porch. She made her way to the door and knocked carefully. "Hey," Izzy smiled when Will opened the door.

"What do you want?" Will asked. Izzy took a second thinking if he was what she really wanted, but she decided it was better regretting something you did than something you didn't do.

"You."

"What?"

"I want you."

Just as she said that Will spun her around. Placing his arms around her waist pulling her into a kiss. And it was then Isabelle knew she'd made the right choice.
