Note to readers: As of this chapter, Isabella Peacock will officially be known as Izzy instead of Bella because the author realizes that some people might be offended by the obvious parody of everyone's favourite heroine. Take any grammar/spelling errors in your stride. i try to get them all in my proofreading but i always manage to miss some. lol :D
Suefic mode:
As Suethor was re-reading over her brilliant first chapter to get inspiration for the second, a horrible realization sank in. She had forgotten to introduce her OC's love interest. This was a cardinal sin in her book because she just HAD to have him there straight away. Maybe she did spend too long on Bella's looks after all.
After moping for months and trying to think of ways to fix this, she gave up and just settled for adding him in the second. After all, she realized she should pace herself.
Chapter 2: A Mary Sue at Spenser
Izzy was walking the halls of Spenser Academy, trying to find the Provost's office. It had been a week since she had arrived at Ipswich and she was now attending the local private school, Spenser Academy. The only problem was she had absolutely no clue where the administration was. Her doting dad decided to drop her off in front of the school gates and leave her to fend for herself in a school she'd never been to before.
She should really invest in a map.
Even though the hallways were crawling with students, Izzy thought searching for the office was much more important than watching where she was going. As a result, she literally crashed into a large wall of manly man-chest. Because apparently a man was a wall now.
She stumbled, having been startled by smacking into someone, and would have fallen to the ground had the guy she smacked into not caught her. But he did. Which was lucky, because the last thing we want to see is our darling mary-sue face-plant on the dirty Spenser floor.
"Hey, are you alright there?" a deep, sexy voice asked.
Izzy looked up at the guy who was currently holding her. Yes, he had not let go yet so she assumed he must have been captivated by her beauty. It happened a lot with guys. When she looked up, she was met with the most stunning set of eyes she'd ever seen (apart from her own, of course). They were dark brown and held warmth in them she was not used to. She then noticed his rippling muscles and impressive tan.
That was it. She didn't need anything more. She was in love. Who cares about personality? He was a genuine hottie.
And he was now watching her with concern because she was unaware that it had taken her a few minutes to analyze him properly.
"Oh" she said, jumping away from him in embarrassment. "Yeah I'm fine. I'm just sooo incredibly overwhelmed by this creepy school" she replied…eventually.
The boy nodded in understanding. "Well that's understandable. It is a big place. Maybe I can help you out" he suggested.
Izzy's eyes lit up at the offer. This was like hitting two birds with one stick. Or whatever that phrase was, because apparently her higher-than-high IQ hadn't covered idioms.
Anyway, back to the two birds, she could find her way to the admin a lot easier and spend more time with her future husband. Oh dear, that's too fast isn't it. Well, her new boyfriend then :D
Once again, a look of concern crossed the guy's face. Izzy blushed as she realized once again that her thought process was taking longer than she realized. "Umm well, I'm looking for the Provost's office. I'm new here, see" she explained.
The guy smiled warmly and Bella had to restrain herself from swooning. It was such a gorgeous smile.
"Well I'll take you there. I'm Caleb, by the way. Caleb Danvers" he introduced. (As if you readers hadn't guessed that yet. Haha :D)
Izzy was eventually able to return his smile, after swallowing her swoon. "I'm Izzy Peacock."
After a few seconds of walking around the school, (Actually it was minutes but suethor couldn't think of anything to take up the time in between) they had found the admin.
"Here we are, this is the admin" Caleb said. "The Provost's office is just down there" he continued, pointing down the hall.
Izzy smiled very widely at him. "Thank you for showing me here, Caleb. Daddy did give me a map but I left it at home, silly me" she laughed. Her laugh was so musically beautiful that Caleb instantly started laughing because it was contagious as well.
"Well maybe I'll see you around" he said before leaving.
Izzy continued smiling. He was definitely future husband material.
With this happy thought in mind, she skipped down the hall to the provost's office and politely knocked on his door.
"Come in" a voice could be heard from inside.
Izzy opened the door to see an old balding man sitting behind the desk.
"Ah" the provost said. "You must be Isabella Peacock. Welcome to Spenser" he said, standing up to greet her as though she was the queen of England (Actually, now that you mention it, she was pretty sure she had royal blood in her somewhere).
Izzy smiled warmly. "Yes, that's me. I can't tell you how excited I am to be attending your school" she flattered.
Provost Higgins blushed a bit before clearing his throat and getting out her profile. "Well, it's an honour to have you in our school, Miss Peacock. From what I understand, your academic standing is quite impressive" He complimented.
"Yes, well, I do get straight A's on my report card every year. Anything less is just unheard of, sir. I also have a very higher than high IQ" Izzy boasted.
The Provost smiled. "You should feel right at home here then. We have the best educational program in the state."
Izzy nodded. "That's why I'm so eager to come here. You see, I really want to go to Harvard. It's been my dream since I was very little" she told him.
It was a well known fact that every Mary Sue wants to attend Spenser because they have dreams of going to Harvard, even if the real reason they're at the school is because their parental guardian enrolled them. That was just another rule in the Mary Sue Handbook.
Provost Higgins beamed before handing her a small package. "This is your school pack. It will have everything you need from your time-table and school map to your dorm room number and key" he explained.
Izzy took the pack politely. "Thank you, sir. The map should come in really handy" she said.
Provost Higgins nodded. "Well I've arranged for a student to show you around the school for today. I'm sure He's waiting outside for you. It was nice meeting you, Miss Peacock" he said, motioning to the door.
Izzy thanked the Provost before getting up and heading out of his office. The first person she saw when she came out was Caleb. She beamed. Oh thank you, god, she thought as he got up and came towards her.
"Hey, so I guess you'll be showing me around today" Izzy commented coyly.
Caleb smiled his dashing smile and Izzy felt herself go weak at the knees.
"So what class have you got first?" Caleb asked her.
Izzy dug into her school pack and pulled out her timetable. It was all crinkled so she smoothed it out. "Umm…English in room 607" she told him.
Caleb beamed. "That's what I have now. I can take you there" he told her.
Izzy smiled flirtatiously at him. "That would be great. I know I'd get lost trying to find it on my own" she replied.
Before they could say anything more, a preppy looking blonde girl came marching towards them. "Hey Caleb" Blondie greeted, giving Caleb a very passionate and wet-looking kiss.
A frown quickly crossed Izzy's face. Who did this bitch think she was?
"Umm hi" she said, interrupting Caleb's moment with Blonde Bitch.
The blonde turned to Izzy and immediately flashed her a bubbly smile. "Hi I'm Sarah. Nice to meet you" she introduced chipperly.
Izzy sent Sarah a fake smile. "Izzy Peacock. I'm new here. Caleb volunteered to show me around" she explained, giving Caleb her one of her award-winning smile.
"Well Caleb's a sweetie, he's nice to everyone" Sarah cooed before leaning in to kiss Caleb again.
Izzy glared at Sarah. This girl was going to get a lot of bad Karma for messing with Caleb like this. He was meant to be with her not this blonde ditz.
"So" she interrupted again. Sarah and Caleb pulled out of their kiss with an odd plunger-sucking sound. "We have English now, huh?" she asked, trying to direct the attention back to herself.
Caleb quickly snapped out of his lovey-dovey moment and went back to practical Caleb. It's so cute how he changes personalities like that, Izzy gushed.
"Right, we're studying American Literature. We'd better get to class before the late bell rings" he said.
He and Izzy started walking to their class. Izzy was very bothered to find Sarah tagging along. "Have you got English now too?" she asked in a fake cheery tone.
Sarah smiled and nodded. "Yep, Caleb and I have all the same classes" she admitted a little egotistically.
Izzy just smiled in reply, even though she had a sudden urge to rip the girl's head off. She shook her head to snap herself out of this dark thought spiral. She was a Mary Sue. She was supposed to be nice. She'd just have to accept Sarah for now. It would only be a matter of time before Caleb realizes his real true love, anyway.
By the time she finished snapping herself out of her dark thought spiral, they'd arrived at the classroom.
(Oh and by the way, her bags and stuff magically materialized to her dorm room after she left the provosts office so she's not lugging them around the school in case you're wondering. Hehe)
Caleb and Sarah both went and sat down in their designated seats. Izzy was about to follow them when she was pulled back by the teacher. "Ah you must be Miss Peacock. I am Mr Wheatley, welcome to my class" he welcomed her.
Izzy smiled. "Thank you, sir"
"I'm afraid the only spare seat we have is next to Mr Garwin over there. Maybe you can help him concentrate more" he told her.
Izzy looked around, disheartened. Any last name that wasn't Danvers was never a good thing. She saw a spare seat next to a blonde guy who looked quite attractive and she probably would have been interested if Caleb hadn't already stolen her heart.
"Class this is Isabella Peacock. She's new so make her feel welcome" he introduced.
Izzy smiled and waltzed over to her seat next to this Mr Garwin. He immediately flashed her a charming smile. "Hi, I'm Reid" he introduced.
Izzy smiled. "Izzy and I have a boyfriend" she told him, even though this wasn't technically true…yet.
Reid blinked. He wasn't even hitting on her. Yet, anyway.
The next second a dark haired kid popped up in the seat next to Izzy. She jumped about a foot in the air in shock. "Who are you?" she asked, still quite startled.
The boy turned to her. "Tyler Simms. I helped you find your house the other week, remember?" he reminded her.
Izzy blinked at him. "…no but it's nice to meet you" she said, smiling at him.
Then Reid turned to him. "Dude, what are you doing here?" he asked.
"I'm in the class, Reid" Tyler replied slowly as if talking to a dimwit.
Reid frowned. "No you're not. You're a year below us, remember?" he pointed out.
Tyler blinked in confusion. Now that he thought about it he was younger than the other sons by a year. "Oh yeah. I guess Suethor conveniently forgot about that detail" he admitted.
Reid just shrugged. He didn't really care.
"Mr Simms, what are you doing in my class?" the teacher suddenly addressed.
Tyler shrugged. "Umm…learning, sir?" he guessed.
The teacher peered at him intently. He didn't remember Tyler Simms being in his class. He shrugged. He shouldn't question the MarySue universe. "Well get your book out and do some work. You're not on a holiday you know" he snapped.
Tyler nodded and pulled a book out with the term's notes so far. Even though he hadn't been to this class before today.
Anyway, now that that issue has been cleared up, we'd better get back to Izzy's head seeing as this fanfic is about her.
Izzy had blocked out the current conversations going on around her and was now staring intently at Caleb who was sitting in the front row. The Covenant universe seemed to be sending her a giant message by placing her between two very single sons but at the moment she was ignoring it. Her heart belonged to Caleb.
The bell rang and all the students shot up from their seats, eager to get out of class. Tyler turned to smile at Izzy. "Do you want to sit with us at lunch?" he asked politely.
Izzy smiled politely back but shook her head. "Sorry, but I've got plans. But I'll see you round I guess" she declined before walking away. She practically ran towards Caleb and fell into step with him. "Hey Caleb" she greeted.
"Izzy, hey. I'd like to introduce you to my friend Pogue" he said, motioning to the guy she hadn't noticed until now.
"Hey Pogue, I'm Izzy" she said.
"Nice to meet you" he replied.
Now that that was out of the way, Izzy turned her attention back to Caleb. "So what do you usually do for lunch?" she asked flirtatiously.
"Oh just the usual…cafeteria. You can sit with us if you like" he offered.
Izzy smiled. "That sounds great. I wouldn't know what to do without you" she replied.
They made their way to the cafeteria, with Izzy flirting with Caleb the entire way. He didn't seem to notice but Pogue did and kept throwing her weird looks. He hoped she knew Caleb was with Sarah (who had conveniently disappeared after class).
When they got to the table, Izzy saw the two boys from her English class sitting there. "What are you two doing here?" she asked.
Reid raised an eyebrow. "We sit here. What about you?"
"I thought you had something else to do" Tyler added, slightly put out.
Izzy quickly recovered her composure. "I did. Caleb was showing me around today. I didn't realize you guys all hung out together" she explained, charming them all into submission with her smile.
They all sat down in their usual seats. Sarah and Kate suddenly reappeared to sit down next to their respective boyfriends, leaving the only spare seat once again between Reid and Tyler.
Another sign from the universe that Izzy will just ignore because she was too busy watching Caleb and Sarah together. She couldn't help but let out the green jealousy monster. This wasn't fair. Something would have to be done. And soon. They were already in the second chapter, she couldn't wait much longer.
End chapter 2
Suethor, once again happy with her writing, saved the chapter and added it to the fanfiction. She just hoped people weren't getting too impatient with her pacing. Hopefully she'd be able to get them together by the next chapter.
Leaving Suefic mode:
So hope you enjoyed this chapter. A review would be nice but you don't have to. I know I took way too long updating. Hehe.
Teaser: next chapter Izzy meets Aaron. How do you think their meeting will go down?
