Murder Against Love.

"Class, we have a new student joining us," Mrs. Kelly told us. "Isaiah, please introduce yourself. "Hi. My name is Isaiah Stephens. I moved here to California from Detroit because my mom got a job here. I was in Juvenile for 2 weeks because I stole a puppy for my friend's birthday."
   "Thank you for that wonderful introduction, Mr. Stephens," Mrs. Kelly said. "Just... don't steal okay?" "Yes ma'am," he answered. "But, the reason I did do it was because my friend, Maxwell really wanted a Corgi, so, I wanted to get him one but, I didn't have enough money so, I stole one. Looking back, I feel very disappointed in myself and that it was very immature of me to commit a crime."
    Wow. Wow wow wow!!! He's even cuter than Zac Efron! Nope, that's a lie. No one is cuter than my Zachy - Poo! What I mean is, Isaiah was REALLY hot! I think.... I think.... I'm.... crushing. No, that can't be possible. No, boys are gross. Uh oh, I think I'm breaking GIRL CODE!! Whatever. I can break the rules if I wanna. I crack myself up. I giggled.
"Taylor Anderson," Mrs. Kelly said. I looked up. "Do you not see the test in front of you?" I blushed. "Yes, Mrs. Kelly, I do see it." "Then grab a pencil and please, write something down. And, start with your name." "I will, Mrs. Kelly. And thank you for the reminder. And to answer your question, I was... daydreaming." Everyone started laughing. Even my teacher! But who didn't laugh, was Isaiah. I was surprised. He looked at me with a smile. Then lipped "same". Ok, we had something in common. We were made for each other!
Brringggggg! "Class dismissed," said Mrs. Kelly. "Grab your lunches and head to the cafeteria. Isaiah, you can follow the group. "Yes ma'am. Thank you," he answered. Cute AND polite? Jackpot! He was mine. And no one would change that. And if someone did, they were going to pay.

"Gabs, you won't believe what happened in home room!" I said.
Gabby is my best friend. Our moms met at a job interview. And when they found out that they'd both got employed, they started hanging out. Then after a little bit, they were best friends! They were friends ever since and still are. Me and Gabby met in preschool and have been friends ever since.
I told her everything that happened that morning. "OMG, girl," she said. "He sounds like a dream! What's his name again? Ian? Bob? Maybe Isaac?" "Isaiah. His name is Isaiah." I told her. "Ok good," she said. "I will not let your future husband's name be Bob." She winked. Then we started laughing so loudly, we got a warning from the lunch lady.
"Girl, you gotta be noticed," She said. "No more hiding in the shadows. You need a new look. A new wardrobe, maybe some hair dye, some eyeshadow, and girl, get a nose piercing." "Okay," I started. "First of all, I like blending in and two, take the nose piercing off the list." She started laughing. "Why are you laughing?" I asked confused. "Oh, nothing. I was just imagining you with everything on the list." I laughed with her. "Thanks for the advice," I said. "Well, I better get going. See you!" "See you, babe!" She said.

Now we come to the present day. The last day of high school. Right before I went on the bus, Isaiah stopped
me. And did something I never would have expected....
