♡ Isabella's Pov ♡
I wake up to feel the cold, fresh air hit my skin.
Of course, I left my window open, now my room is freezing. I roll out of bed and close it. I wrap my dressing gown around me and sigh looking around at the towers of moving boxes.
You'd think that moving away will make you feel like a new person, like you can have a fresh start. But no, things will always catch up to you.
I've been in LA for nearly two weeks, I haven't been any happier than what I was back in the UK. But there's not much you can do, there's no use moping around feeling sorry for myself. Especially when it's my first day back at school.
I hear a soft knock on the other side of my bedroom door.
"Come in" I smile to myself, as I gently tuck my bed covers in at each corner.
"You getting ready?" My older brother Jack asks as he pokes his head around my bedroom door.
"I will now" I nod to him and smile, he closes the door.
I walk over to my vanity and turn my fairy lights on. I open up my curtains and straighten up my room before taking a seat in-front of my mirror. I sigh deeply as I stare at all my flaws, or at least what I considered as flaws.
I was always labelled as perfect, I never once took a minute to appreciate the body that I have and I really feel like I need to work on that.
I pull my makeup bag out of my draws and put some on.
I take my hair out of the messy ponytail that it was in and brush it. When my hair was down it was extremely long, it reached just past the bottom of my back.
I stumble over to my wardrobe to find an outfit. It's always great trying to get ready in the morning when you're still half asleep.
I didn't want to make too much of an effort. In the end I threw on a slightly oversized black champion jumper, grey ripped jeans and some black Air Force.
I put all the stuff I had used away and packed my bag before rushing to my bathroom to clean my teeth and heading downstairs.
"Are you ready Izzy?" Jack smiles to me.
"Yes" I return the smile . He hands me my coat and we head for the door. We get in his car since he offered to drive me.
"So how are you feeling?" He asks as we pull away from the drive way.
"I don't know, scared I guess, what if nobody there likes me" I say trying not to tear up. I'm a relatively sensitive person.
"Don't be silly Izzy, of course they'll like you" he comforts me.
I smile and look down at my hands that were almost fully covered by my coat since it was freezing.
"Heck, You may even find a boyfriend?" He winks.
"Come on Jack, you know that I hate the idea of being in love or anything like it" I gaze out of the window, shaking my head. He raises his eyebrow and nods as if he's heard me say that loads of times. School wasn't too far from my house, 5 minute drive? 10 at the most. Once we arrive there we pull over and I jump straight out considering Jack didn't want to park.
"I'll pick you up at 3, don't worry about today you'll do great" He smiles, reassuringly. "Thankyou, I needed to hear that" I mutter staring down at my shoes. "Try not to be so nervous, I love you" He says before driving off. I turn around and stare out at the packed car park. Of course I was going to be nervous, how could I not be?. I look around, breathlessly, at each and every individual which were now sending me minor death stares. I wasn't sure if I could bring myself to go inside.
"hello are you new?". I turn around to see a pretty blonde girl smiling at me. "um, yes, I'm Isabella" I put my hand out. she shakes it and returns the smile. "I'm Kayla, welcome to brookale high" She nods. "Thankyou".
"need a buddy to show you around?" she asks slightly excited. I smile to myself, atleast she's a nice person. "Yes thankyou, that would be amazing" I say.
She shows me inside to a huge hall packed with students, just when you think you can't fit any more students in a tiny school like this- there's more. Hundreds more.
I feel myself tense up as I feel all the cold stares on the side of my neck. It's not the best feeling in the world.
"Hold on one second, let me just go tell my boyfriend something" she smiles. She walks off to a tall boy with a beanie on. I lean against the wall and sigh out, all was calm and peaceful until somebody bumped into me.
"Oh my god I'm so sorry" A deep boys voice says as he gently grabs my arm to pull me up off the floor.
I look up at him. He was gorgeous, actually no- gorgeous was an understatement. He was the definition of perfection. I felt something lift out of me, I couldn't quite figure out what it was or what I was feeling but I knew I didn't like it.
"You- you okay?" He asks rubbing my arm,
I step back a little and smile.
"Yeah- I'm fine thankyou" I nod.
He smiles. "I'm sorry, again, I didn't mean to bump into you... I should have looked where I was going" he shrugs.
"No worries, honestly it's fine" I say.
"Oh- I'm Isabella, I'm new" I hold my hand out.
He takes my hand in his and shakes it.
"I'm Tony"
