Back in school

Isa wasn't back in school until Tuesday. Wilma could see her mood as she came walking up the path and stairs.

"Has he gone back?" Wilma asked soft. Isa nodded and got a comforting hug from her friend.

Wilma glanced at her friend several times during class and it was horrible to see. She was merely a shadow; pale, dark and almost translucent. Wilma wanted desperately to help, but couldn't do anything until it was lunchtime.

"Tell me about your weekend in Paris!" Wilma said; partly of curiousity, but also because her friend needed distraction from the pain she was in. That was obvious.

She told about the security force effort, the photographers and all the reporters, wanting to know who she was. It was obvious that her mood got a little lighter as she told about her surreal weekend. Wilma was totally blown away and frankly quite jealous; all she had done during the weekend was going to the movies on Saturday and then visited her parents on Sunday.

"Can't you give me the full scoop on how you two met now?" Wilma smiled suportively, but had still a hard time believing it, even if she sat beside them on the couch.

"Well I can hardly believe it myself, so I can't really blame you for thinking it to be surreal." She smiled and told the story how she had met her stepbrother Robert for the first time and how he had revealed just before it was official that he would be playing Hans in Possibilities.

"So you knew before I told you?" Wilma glared at her.

She shrugged apologetic. "He wasn't allowed to tell, so I could hardly tell you, could I." Isa wished that she would have been allowed to tell Wilma. The two girls had been best friends for almost two years by now and their friendship went deep.

"Before I knew it I was sitting on the couch where Amanda and Vin' usually sits." She told. "I kept thinking that someone would wake me up and it would all be a dream." Wilma's heart warmed as she saw her friend smile.

"The second time I was there I told Morgan that you would kill me if you knew I was there." Isa laughed and so did Wilma.

"Definitely; I'm still jealous!"

When the two girls headed back to their next class Wilma thought the dark cloud hanging over her best friends head had lifted a bit and she kept glancing at her during class. It reminded Wilma a bit of their first weeks in school, when they had got to know each other. Isa's jerk of a boyfriend had really driven her confidence into the ground and Wilma could never stand him. She had really been gloating the day Isa finally broke up with him.

Wilma thought about how Isa had been a different girl when she got back after visiting her mother. The first time she had been upbeat and jittery, but the second time she had been almost depressed. When Isa now had told the story, it wasn't strange at all that she had been sad; she had just met the greatest guy and she feared that they would never meet again.

This time it was much worse!

Wilma was really glad for her sake, even if she hadn't told her the scoop of the century. When seeing them together, it surely looked like she had found her guy.

But then again; he was an actor, an unattainable celebrity that every girl in the world wanted to get their hands on.

Wilma and Isa left school together a few hours later. "Thank you!" Isa said.

Wilma looked questing at her, but understood when she saw her friend's thankful face. She smiled. "What are friends for?"

Isa returned that smile. "Apparently to take off and then lie about it afterwards..." She said tart. "I'm sorry I didn't say anything, but what could I say?" There was a guilty smile on her face.
