I sat in front of my desk, rummaging my thoughts while literally pulling my hair.

What was I to expect?

A week's worth of tests.

And these tests are totally going to help get in my way of my social life.

"Ugh! Izzy! How do you do question 7?'' I shouted, annoyed.

"Use R formula."

"Why do you make it seem so easy?" I whined at Isabella, who is just next to me.

"Well, Mr smarty pants, if you would not just shout some random things to impress the teacher, I would have helped you. Therefore, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to study yourself or fail the prelims, and that Isabella Garcia Shapiro will not take the blame or credit of this, and we will have a cold, hard relationship"

"Please Izzy... I'll... buy you... the diamond ring you wanted for your wedding..."

She plugged out her earpiece and looked at me.

"The hundred thousand dollar one? The one made out of pure carbon? The one we saw at the mall?" Her eyes sparkled with interest for the first time in our 14 day straight study session.

I bit my lower lip.

It's a price I must pay, even if I have to subject to bank loans and help from friends.

"Yes..."

"Alright... just sign here..."

She took out a carefully printed out piece of paper from her folder.

"What's this?"

"To prove that you keep agreed to buy for me."

I hesitated and bit my lower lip once more before I signed it.

"Ok, now take a look over here.. the R formula..." Isabella's voice turned to a more nurturing and more sweet voice.

The one I have always loved.

At least better than the cold, expressionless and monotonous Isabella I had to endure for the past 14 days.

You might be wondering...

Why is Isabella making all these terms and I am agreeing to it when I can study myself?

Honestly, in class I act like I am smart, but seriously, I was just shouting some random things that came to my mind.

And funny how all of it make sense to the answer my teacher wants me to answer.

Now, the $100 000 diamond ring?

Well, she wanted that for her wedding.

That... was the lowest deal that I could bring in to negotiate with her...

Heartbreak...💔💸

My money virtually flew away...

''Uh, Izzy, care if you share your notes?''

''Sure!''

She handed me the stack of notes that has the smell of her, the neat handwriting of her's...

As my mind ran through the R formula and decide how to do the question, things were definitely growing warmer.

Like not literally warm, but warm..

Like more relaxed...

''Izzy?''

''Mmm....'' I turned to look at her.
