Isabel

Prologue

Just a beautiful day to spend with my bestfriend. Mateo and I decided to go to the mall.

I'm tired of asking my mom for money to do things I have to do. she'll give it to me but I m grown enough to get my own money. She cleans rich people houses ,so I feel bad when I have to ask her for money. I can't ask my older sister , Sofia, for money since she pays for my school.  I really need to get my life together. 

We got off the cab and went inside. This place is so beautiful and magical. They have everything. I just love being out of town and go to nice places just to encourage myself . I hope one day I can buy all those beautiful clothes , bags , shoes and jewelries. I deserve it all. 

while we were walking , I stopped in front of a bvlgari store. I felt a rage inside of me. Why did I have to be poor? why God ? Why? 

" this is a beautiful purse Mateo, It will fit me , especially this is my favorite color but I don't even have clothes that will go with it" I said while the palms of my hands was caressing the glass.

" Isabel , you can't afford it, so stop staring " Mateo said laughing.

" shut up, I will eventually, maybe not today but I will. I'm beautiful, I'm smart and I will marry a rich man. I just need to work on it" I said licking the tip of my lollipop.

" I wouldn't be surprise, you're evil , haha" was Mateo's sarcastic response. I rolled my eyes.

" I envy Giselle , I want her life " I told Mateo while we went to sit near a water fountain. 

" She loves you Isabel, She's your bestfriend too . I don't think you should break her heart by wanting to be wealthy, just work for it, finish your studies and you'll get a job and everything will be okay" Mateo said

I rolled my eyes " A real bestfriend knows everything about me, she doesn't know that I'm poor as a church mouse. Man listen I got a plan, we can add what you said but let's say I have a shortcut. Giselle's boyfriend brother is coming in town and it will be the best opportunity for me to make him fall in love with me , marry me so that I can remove myself out of that slum life  , I deserve better than that". I said popping the gum in my mouth.
