Love at first sight

Chapter one: First Day

My name is Isabelle Lawrence. I hate that name so my friends call me Izzy. I'm 19 years old and I just barely graduated high school. I have brown hair, brown eyes, and people say that I am really tall. I live in a small town called Healdsburg. I'm entering my college right now! I'm so excited for it. I've always dreamed about being a teacher. I thought it would be so easy to become, but now I realize it's not as easy as I thought it would be. I mean first you have to complete high school, and then you have to go through four more years of school. That's eight whole years of school working towards my job! Such a waste of time. I guess in the long run it will be worth it. Today hasn't been going so well. This morning I burned my breakfast then Zakary had to bump into me, and make me drop all of my books.

"Gosh Zakary," I said.

He hates it when I call him that, but I do it anyway.

"Isabelle I tell you almost everyday not to call me that!" He said.

"Well I tell you not to call me Isabelle. We argue way to much for boyfriend and girlfriend," I said.

"Well maybe we are not meant to be together," Zak said.

"Do you really mean that or are you just joking?" I asked.

" Well we have been fighting a lot," Zak said.

"That doesn't answer my question!" I said.

"Fine, I was not joking," Zak said.

"Ok, so what do we do?" I asked.

"I don't really know," Zak said.

"Ok, so that is it we are just stuck in one spot?" I asked.

"I already said I don't know," he said.

"I can't do this right now I've got to go to class," I said.

I turned away and stormed off I was so mad.

How could Zak sit there and tell me that our relationship was falling apart? I got to my class and Lindsay was already there. Lindsay is a slender girl with long blond hair and blue eyes. I told her everything that happened.

She said, "Maybe he is right, I mean, this whole week I have had to find other things to do because you guys are in our dorm fighting. Jeremy agrees with me."

"Your saying that my relationship with my boyfriend is over?" I asked.

"Basically, yeah," she told me.

"You know that your suppose to take my side on things like this," I said.

"I'm just telling you the truth," she said.

I could not help but think that she was not taking my side. It's apparently three to one. Not a good position to be in. College sucks so far. My highschool years were much better. We were all so happy back then. Oh great, there's Zakary

"Hi Izzy," he said.

"Go away, I don't want to talk to you Zak," I said.

"Well, I do. We need to figure this out. We still could be in a relationship. I just need to know how you feel about me,"He said

"Personally, I love you. Now, is that how you feel about me?" I asked.

"I think that we are hitting a huge bump in the road. I also think that we can fix that bump if we work together and get on the same page," he said.

I had to think about that for a minute. He never even answered my question.

"Why won't you answer my questions?" I asked.

"I did answer your question. I said that I think that we have hit a bump in road," he said.

"Just stop. What I want to hear you say is if you love me or not," I said.

Silence, just what I suspected. He had to think if he loved me or not. I did not have to think If I loved him. I knew it right off the bat. Zak on the other hand had to think if he loved me or not. That's not very good for a relationship.

"I don't know," Zak finally said

After three minutes he finally said something but he still did not say that he loved me.

"I think we should take a break." I said looking down at the floor.

"What do you mean?" Zak asked, confusion in his voice.

"You know what I mean,"I said.

"Are you wanting to break up with me?" he asked.

"No... I don't know but I think we should take a break" I said.

"For how long?" Zak asked.

"Until you can say I love you without having to think about it," I said.

"Ok," Zak said quietly.

"Bye Zak. See you later." I said

Throughout the next two weeks we did not talk, did not make eye contact, and apparently he transferred out of all the classes he had with me in it.
