Hi I know I said that I wouldn't start another story until I finished one of my old stories but … technically I'm not starting this one at the time I post it so it's too late to complain but let me get to the rest of the of the point … *sigh* I have finals this week and I must spend most of my time studying for them so I will not have time to work on ANY of my other stories, so to make up for it I spent all of my free time over the weekend working on this story so that you would still have something to read from me over the week that I will not be available (I will still post for my story "The Light Within the Darkness" every Friday).

(Isabella's POV)

It was another beautiful day in Danville or should I say afternoon. The entire group was there from the former fireside girls to Erick, Buford, Baljeet, Django, and even Irving. The day's activity was over and Phineas and Ferb's idea for the day had already disappeared. "Oh well at least everyone got a chance to try it out right?" my favorite redheaded inventor said.

Today's invention had something to do with the perfect food … or something, I wasn't really paying attention to the activity. My attention was more focused on something a little more important than that "It was truly one of the most amazing things you and Ferb had ever made Phineas" I said half way to Phineasland. Ya that's right I'm still in love with Phineas, we were about to start high school and my crush on him hadn't weekend in the slightest, if anything it had grown out of the envy I've been feeling for my fellow former fireside girls. Each of them has already found someone and I was the only girl in our whole group that was boyfrendless, but I was determined to change that before high school started. I sighed, took a deep breath, and walked toward Phineas, I could tell that everyone else in the yard knew what I was about to attempt (except for Phineas of course) and I could even see a few bets being made, but I ignored them and just continued with my plan to get Phineas to be my boyfriend "so Phineas, I know that you don't look forward to summer ending, but is there anything about high school that you're looking forward to?" I asked in the cutest voice I could muster, given that I wasn't as cute as (as several boys from junior high said) 'drop dead gorgeous.'

Phineas turned to me and smiled "well truth be told I think I'm looking forward to high school more than anything" I could tell that everyone was in shock "can't say that I'm looking forward to 'school' portion of school but from what Candice has told me it should still be something worthwhile"

I was silently cheering 'the first part of my idea is going perfectly!' I thought. I silently took a breath "so is there anything special that you want to do with anyone before school starts?" I heard some faint laughing coming from our friends as well as a moan.

"No not really" he said breaking my heart yet again.

I was about to ask him in a les subtle way but Candice called him "Phineas! What did you do with my phone?"

"Hold that thought Isabella, I have to help Candice find her phone" Phineas rushed inside and left me outside with just my broken heart and Erick, Buford, and Adyson collecting from everyone else.

"Seriously Adyson?" I shouted "I would understand Buford and Erick, but you?"

She looked down in disgrace "it wasn't just me Isabella" she said pointing to Katie and Milly.

My attention turned to them as my mouth dropped "I'm sorry Isabella" Milly said "it's just … well …"

"You're never going to crack the thick skull of Phineas the oblivious with your well below subtle attempts at telling him that you like him" Buford said.

I started to tear up and before I knew it I was running home faster than a cheetah. As soon as I got home I through myself on my bed and started crying "how?" I asked myself. After some time I heard a knocking at my door "whose there?" no response. I shook my head "come in Ferb" slowly he opened the door and walked in "I know what you're going to say and let me just tell you that I'll be fine" he nodded then gave me a concerned look "normally I wouldn't let what Buford said get to me but this time …" I sniffed "he's right" Ferb went wide eyed "I know that I'll never be able to get through to Phineas if I'm so discreet it's just …" I paused "what if he doesn't feel the same way?" Ferb gave me a sad look indicating that he didn't know what to say "then thanks anyway Ferb" I rolled over "if it's all the same to you then I would like to be left alone for a while" Ferb left the room and I continued to look at the ceiling. After a few minutes I took a deep breath and made a decision "tomorrow I'm going to tell Phineas how I feel, no subliminal messages, no hints, no saying something that could be understood any other way, …" I paused to let out a tear "and no more obsessing if he doesn't return my feelings"

I know it's really not my best work but I did rush it. At some point later on (maybe during the summer) I might rewrite it but right now I'm just trying to get something that I can post to keep my fans happy for the time I will be unable to write. This story is in four chapters so I will get to the end this Thursday. Also this story was one that I originally got rid of and used all the ideas in others so if there are similarities to my other stories … that's why.
