Breaking The Rules For Isaac Lahey

Chapter 7

Thursday 20th February

When I get out of the shower I notice I have a text from Isaac.

Isaac: Hey :) Did you want a ride to school?

Me: nah that’s okay I don’t want to put you out of your way.

Isaac: oh it’s no problem, I’m taking Scott anyway and he lives pretty close to you.

Me: well okay ill see ya then x

I decide on curling my hair because of the extra time I have. I chuck on some pale skinny jeans, a black patterned singlet and a jacket before heading downs stairs to quickly eat breakfast before Isaac gets here, oh and Scott too.

Friday 21st February

For the second day in a row I get out the shower to see a text from Isaac.

Isaac: You want a lift? X

Me: sure :) x

Isaac: seeya then x

For some reason I was really excited to see Isaac, I guess I was just getting excited about the game and that I finally have some people to talk to that I really get along with.

Isaac picked me up and I got in the back, Scott had shotgun. On the way to school Isaac and Scott were discussing lacrosse strategies while I listened to them, it was actually really funny how into the game they all were. Don’t get me wrong I do really like lacrosse, but I usually just like to watch it, I’ve never really put much thought into strategies or positions.

Once we’re at school we walk up to the rest of the group just as Stiles says,

“Did you guys hear about the latest killing? It was on the news last night.”

“Isn’t that the second one this month?”, Scott says to Stiles.

“How have I not heard of this?!”, I say to them all, “Who’s been killed?”

“So far both of them have been homeless men.”, Stiles tells me.

“Oh.”

“Can we talk about something a little more fun, please?”, Lydia says, “Like the party after the game tomorrow.”

“There’s a party tomorrow?”, I question.

“Oh, yeah I totally forgot to tell you.”, Isaac says to me, “Did you wanna go? I can take you, It’s right after the game.” I thought about it and new Mom wouldn’t have an issue so I smiled and said,

“Yeah, of course.”

The bell for first period goes so I leave to go to my locker and Allison and Lydia follow me.

“So.”, Allison states.

“So?,” I question.

“The party.”, she says.

“Yeah, What about it?”, I say to them both.

“Oh hun we are going to find you something fab to wear.”, Lydia says to me.

“What? Why it’s just a party.”, I say to them both.

“Not on our watch.”, they say at the same time and turn and smile evilly at me.

“We are going to make you look amazing for Isaac.”, Lydia says beaming. I just about choke.

“W-what? What do you mean? Me and Isaac, we- we’re just friends. Totally just friends.”, I say stuttering.

“You know we aren’t blind, he’s never acted this way around anyone before.”, Allison says to me with that sweet smile she has.

“Really?”, I say curiously, “Well, maybe that’s because I knew him when we were little?”

“Okay, well whatever you say.”, Allison says, “But we are still dressing you up.”

“Of course you are.”, I say to them laughing, “Now I’ve got to go before I’m late. Seeya later”

I tried to focus in my class but all I could think about was tomorrow. If Allison and Lydia thought it was a date did Isaac? NO, of course he doesn’t. We’re just friends; He wouldn’t like me I’m a sophomore. I’m being ridiculous even thinking he would like me. Wait, do I like him? No I don’t, remember the rule. Remember the rule.

“Miss Jordan!”, Harris yells at me.

“Y-yes?”

“Did you hear the question?”, he says sternly.

“Uh, n-no. Could you say it a-again?”, I ask him terrified. I swear I heard him mutter ‘Just like Stilinski’ before he said,

“I asked you what a halogen is.”

“Oh, um a halogen is a”, I start. Why can’t I remember what a halogen is? I know this come on, “Uh a halogen is a type of element?”

“Correct.” Oh thank god, that was so embarrassing. I really need to pay more attention and stop thinking about Isaac. One boy, who doesn’t even like me, is not going to change my perfect grades and study habits.
