Lucky Love

Chapter 1

      "NEXT!" Hey my name is Isabella. I'm 16 and stuck in this dump. Wow. That sounded really cliche. Well my life is great except for the fact that I left home promising that I will make it big. I man that's always been my dream. Be somebody you know? And I can never go back on promises because thats just who I am. So far the making it big thing isn't doing so great. I quit school and moved to Britian with the little money that I had and now I'm working multiple part-time jobs to pay the rent. So uh yea. Stuck here in this place. "Burgers and veggies" they call it? I seriously think it's a weird idea.

     "So hey! What can I get you?" I said in my sweetest sales lady voice with a beam. I opened my eyes to see a cutish boy.

     "Hi Isabella!" he said with a smile. I remembered I had a nametag on. "Gosh who would've thought you can find a place like burgers and veggies. Conveniant huh? I'm surprised this place isn't packed." he continued.

     I thought to myself ; Was it normal for him to talk like buddies to everyday fast food workers? ; . I suddenly felt kinda embarrased. " Sure" I replyed " So what would you like to order".

     "Five burgers and 3 large bags of carrots." He looked slighty embarrased as if I though I was judging him from ordering carrots, the least popular item on the menu. 

     "Okay your total comes to $31." He opened up his wallet and handed me the money and walked off with his food as happy as a bunny. I saw him sit down at a table with 4 other cutish guys. Wait why was I watching them?!? I looked at my watch. OH CRAP! I'M LATE FOR MY NEXT JOB! I thanked my coworker quickly and rushed to the locker room to change out of my uniform.

     While I was changing I heard Lisa talking in the background. "HEY ISABELLA! HAVE YOU HEARD OF 1D? THY AREN'T THAT WELL KNOWN YET BUT THEY ARE AWESOME AND SHOULD JUST GET DISCOVERED ALREADY. TEEHEE.BUTTERFLY BURREYLEEFRFI SDFISPFIPOSFIFDIFDI" 

     "Okay I didn't get that last part but uh nope never heard of 1D" I said a bit frazzled 

     "PSHH SHAMMEEE. LOOKY I GOT LIFE SIZED POSTERS! TEEHEE BUTTERFLYROGFDOIJOJJ. AREN'T THEY CUTE?" she exclaimed.

     Wait a second. I know that face. He was the one that ordered carrots earlier! 

     "Ehhheh." I said still thinking about that, okay fine I give in, cute boy. "Okay Lisa. I got to go right now. Bye."

     I left with all my stuff and hopped on my bike. I slapped my probably red cheeks and pedaled as fast as possible. I glanced at my watch again. "HOLY SMUDGE!!!"All that talking with Lisa delayed with my getting to work on time! 

     "Ahh Isabella. This is why we love you. Even though the route was supposed to take 30 minutes, you made it half the time!," Lydia, my adult friend slash coworker patted my head comfortingly "Here have some water. Can you breath okay now?"

     "Urg gulp" I struggled to close my mouth while drinking but I was to tired. Water trickled down my chin contineously.

     "Aww seriously. Isabella," she said "Are you sure you don't want to take a day off?"

     "I-I-I have to work," I gasped "If I take even I day off, I wont make my rent."

     "Okay if you say so" Lydia replied with a worried "Whatever the reasons may be, I don't think it's alright for you to move right after finishing middleschool.It's not okay for such a young girl like you to be working all day!

     I stayed quiet the whole time. "And look at you," Lydia continued, "Don't you want to try dressing up like other girls?"

     My mom's cursed voice echoed in my head drowning out Lydia " Ahh Isabella you're always reading princess stories. The misunderstood underdog that later, dressed up beautifuly , will be loved by everyone forever." I always wanted to grow up and be beautiful like the girls in the stories. Now that I've grown up, I know that being beautiful is not free.

     After I finished my job at the family restaurant with Lydia, I pushed my bike home still thinking about what Lydia said. Of course I wanted to dress up! My mind dreamed of the sparkling cosmetics that I could never afford.

     Ah! I need to focus! It's what you need not what you want! I can survive surely without dressing up. It was dark and I walked up to my apartment and pushed the key into it's lock. Then I heard footsteps behind me and I turned around to see a familiar boy

     "Ah I though I recognized you," he said with a smile. "I can't forget a cute face like that."

     "C-C-Carrot boy!" I said suddenly aware that I was blushing.

     "Haha. I do have a name you know," he said " I'm Louis"

     "I-I'm Isabella." I replied "How did you find me?" After I said that I reliazed that sounded a little weird. 

     "Coincidence I guess," Louis said "Just out to calm my mind while everyone was working. It's late I know and a little strange for me to be out. It's not like I have that much free time. Why are you up?"

     "Oh I just finished work" I said.

     "You're so young though! Louis "It does make sense for such an amazing and unique place like Burger and Veggies would do late hours." He glanced behind him and said "I gotta run but thanks for the chat." He smiled and walked the opposite direction.

     I laughed to my self. He was unaware that I work multiple jobs but maybe that is a good thing. I went to my apartment and grimiced when I saw that the time read 11pm. I remembered how hungry I was. I whipped out some instant soup and finished with pudding.

     That night I slept happy. The only thought that was on my mind was that beautiful name.

                                                                         Louis
