We were in 7th grade now. Phineas was still my crush. YUP! Still has the key to my heart (sometimes, i dount he ever see's it) and i turn down EVERY other guy that ask's me out. My first hour is Homeroom. Addyson, Gretchen and Phineas are in my homeroom with . Phineas came and sat next to me after i got to my seat. I tried not to stare, but i think i did but he thankfully, didn't notice.

I went to talk to Addyson and Gretchen before the bell rang. While i was up, this blonde guy came up to me. "Hello, I am Ryan. And you, my beautiful little flower are?" the boy said. "Um." I said, " are you talking to me?"

"yes" he said. WHOOPS. "um, i'm Isabella." He smiled and i looked at Phineas. He was watching me. He almost looked, jealous. Maybe he likes me! "Lovely name. Maybe we can hang out sometime. By the way, i'm new this month!"

"Well, I'm captain of the local Fireside Girls troop and i was planning on hangong out with my friends tomorrow so..." I told Ryan, unaware of what to do next. He tore a peice of paper out of his notebook, scribbled something on it, handed it to me then left. I looked at the note and it was his number. The teacher walked in and i sat next to Phineas. "Who was that?" he asked.

"um, some kid named Ryan who likes me aparently."I told him. "wow, this girl, Genivive i think, came up to me and gave me HER number so, we each have an admirer! Will you ever date him?"Phineas asked.

"Ryan?" I asked, "No. I am still waiting for SOMEONE else to ask me out." I gave him my flirtiest look yet. He stared for a moment, shook his head then answered, "oh. I probably won't date Genevive. We might habg out but i'd never date her. I'm actually waiting for someone, who's, well. NOT Genivive. Maybe someone i can hang with and NOT feel akward. you know?" WOW! He was long winded here but, i knew. And i could be his option!

* AFTER SCHOOL! AFTER SCHOOL! AFTER SCHOOL! AFTER SCHOOL! AFTER SCHOOL! *

I was walking home when Genivive came over to me. "hey! i heard you like Phineas and he is MINE! Here is what you get for flirting with him today!" Genivive called. She ran up and punched me in the face, giving me a black eye. She continued to beat me, then ran home laughing saying, "Phineas is dropping off my phone i 'dropped' in the hall! LOSER!"

I lay there for a few minutes. Just thinking. I finally got up, with mud ALL over my new pants. i bore a black eye, two big bruises and a cut on my lip. As i passed Genivives house, Phineas was just leaving. He saw me and my dirty jeans and yelled, "Oh MY GOD Isabella are you o.k.? What happened? Who did this?" This is when i hugged him and BURST Into tears.

"Genivive told me not to hand with you then she beat me up!" I managed to say through my powerful sobs. My mom was out of town and i FINALLY pursuaded her to let Phineas stay in the guest room with me for the 4 days and 3 nights she would be gone. "Don't worry Izzy, I'll make sure this won't happen again! You'll be o.k. Let's get to your house and clean you up."

When we got to my house we sat at the couch, my 'injuries' covered, with Lemonade doing homework. It was Octobor now. We were comfortable with our classmates. Until now. I still couldn't believe i got to spend the WHOLE 4 DAYS with Phineas, ALONE! This was going to be magical, exept for the whole "bruised face" and bullies.
