The first day of not speaking to Casey was harder than Izzie thought it would be.

Actually, it was a lot harder than what Izzie thought it would be. See, Izzie didn't think that it would be hard at all. Well ok that was a lie. Casey really was her best friend, and she absolutely loved her. But she was more than capable of cutting off people in her life that she felt didn't deserve to be in it. But this time something was different.

Izzie had decided to not talk to Casey because she had kissed her boyfriend. Casey insisted that it wasn't how it went down, but what was she supposed to think? She'd known Nate longer, she trusted him. And it's not like her reasoning was wrong.

Yet something about the way she felt...was.

She was angry, that's for sure. She had immediately confronted Nate, who told her Casey was lying. He claimed that she was the one who kissed him. Izzie didn't know what to believe. But she did know that for some reason, Casey kissing Nate instead of vice versa made her angrier. She decided to just cut Casey off all together, only tolerating her to get through track season. But not without a little rant she'd give to the other girls on the track team about the situation.

She just wanted to get the girls on her side. She had no idea they were going to write on Casey's shoes. When they told her she thought it might be ok, that this small form of justice would bring her closure. But the only person she wanted to laugh about the prank with was Casey, and it only made her more sad. Why did they have to do that to her?

She felt terrible for the shoe thing. And she felt terrible for cutting her off.

Casey was right.

Boys ruin everything.

On the seventh day of not speaking to Casey, Izzie saw her at the batting cages.

Izzie was there to pick up a bat one of her siblings had accidentally left there the other day. She was on her way out when she noticed the Casey walking in with her brother Sam and a taller lankier boy wearing glasses. Zahid probably. At least based on what Casey told her he seemed like a Zahid.

Izzie tried to ignore the constant flipping her stomach was doing at the sight of Casey alone. Her hair hanging down and flowing naturally, a flannel wrapped around her waist and a crop top exposing her midriff slightly, but enough to make Izzie bite her lip.

Her heart sank when she remembered that she had cut her out. And why she had cut her out.

She had kissed Nate.

They were both at her house.

And she had chosen to kiss Nate.

On the tenth day of not speaking to Casey, Izzie listened to Gorgeous by Taylor Swift.

She wasn't even a big Taylor fan, but she was browsing her Apple Music for songs to match the way she was feeling. She came across her Reputation album and decided to give it a try: she hadn't listened to it yet anyway and was open to new music. When she got to Gorgeous, a line might as well have slapped her in the face.
