Freddy Jones walked around the dark playground. He needed to be alone
with his thoughts. He really liked Katie but it just wasn't working out.
She wasn't as into him as she was into her. He had it break it off. She was
always at art club or at cheerleading practice. She just didn't love him.
Suddenly a figure popped up from behind the jungle gym.
"Hi. Are you okay? You look sad." The girl said
"Uh... Who are you?"
"Forgive me, I'm Isabella."
"I'm Freddy. Look no offense but I'm kinda havin a tough time so could you leave me alone."
"Sure Freddy."
The girl walked away. There was something about her that made him want to see her again. He sighed. Tomorrow before class, he would break up with Katie.
"BEEEEP BEEEP" Freddy's alarm clock buzzed.
"URGGH" he groaned trying to hit his alarm clock. Today was the day. He got ready quickly, grabbed his skateboard and headed off.
When he pulled up to Horace Green, which had been expanded and now housed grades 1-12, he sighed again and waited for Katie next to the stairs where they always met. About ten minutes later she and Summer walked up.
"Hey babe" she said, leaning in for a kiss. Freddy turned his head.
"He looked at her "Katie we need to have a talk."
"Okay", she said nervously "See you in class, Summer"
"Look Katie, I really don't think this thing between you and me is working out." He paused for her reaction, and then continued "We never see each other except in class and even then you're always talking to Summer. I'm sorry."
Tears streamed down Katies face as she stood there motionless.
"Freddy I..." she said as she tried to reason with him, but the look on his face told her that he was sure. She ran. He knew where she was going. She was going to tell Summer.
His best friend Zack walked up to him. "Hey, man."
"Hey"
"What's goin on?"
"I just broke up with Katie."
"Whoa. Never thought that would happen. You guys seem so happy.
"Well I guess love is harder than it seems."
Once the two got to class there were two girls standing at the front the room woth the teacher.
"Students I'd like to introduce you to two new students, Isabella and Faith." She paused and looked around the room" Lets see... Isabella you can sit next to Katie."
"Damn" Freddy whispered. He would have no chance with Isabella now.
"Faith why don't you take a seat next to Freddy. Freddy you be good now."
"Yes ma'am."
"Hi." She whispered to him.
"Hi"
"You okay?"
"Yeah trouble with Katie."
"The chick that's Isabella is sitting next to?"
"Yeah. Are you and Isabella sisters?"
"Sort of" she said
"What do you mean?"
"You'll know soon enough" she smiled.
He wondered what she meant. She pulled out a book titled How to Escape the Change. He was totally puzzled.
"Whatcha reading?"
"It's a fantasy novel."
"Oh" for come reason he didn't believe her. She looked at Freddy. He was cute. He would be perfect for....NO!!
You know you want to. Isabella put the thought in her mind.
NO! I couldn't I'm going to escape this!!
It's your destiny. You cannot escape destiny my dear.
NEVER!!!!
"NO!!!!!!!!!" Faith screamed out loud.
Everyone looked. Isabella sat on the other side of the room laughing hysterically. Katie started to laugh to after Isabella whispered something in her ear. Katie was next.
"You okay?" Freddy asked her.
"Yeah just a little jumpy."
"Okay."
Why did she and Isabella seem so close yet so distant?
"Hi. Are you okay? You look sad." The girl said
"Uh... Who are you?"
"Forgive me, I'm Isabella."
"I'm Freddy. Look no offense but I'm kinda havin a tough time so could you leave me alone."
