"Freddy, dude. Come on!" called his friend Zack. The end of school bell had just rung. This meant band practice at Dewey's apartment. Freddy grabbed his books and ran after Zack. "What do you think?" asked Zack. "What do you mean?.." Freddy was slightly confused at this. "About Isabelle, her drumming, HER in all! Man, I know you like her." They walked out the door and headed to the apartment. "She's just a girl...who happens to play drums..." replied Freddy. "Oh come on man! I'm your best friend! I know that you like her more than that. Its straight out obvious. And she likes you too." said Zack. "Let's just drop it for now." said Freddy as they walked into the apartment and walked up the stairs.

They walked in and saw all of the band members, except Katie, and the band manager, Summer. "Has anyone seen those two? Summer's never late." asked Dewey. They all looked around at each other, shaking their head. About five minutes later, Summer, Katie, and to Freddy's half displeasure and half pleasure, Isabelle. "Where have you guys...girls been?" Dewey corrected himself when Summer gave him a look. "Sorry Dewey. We went to Isabelle's real quick. She needed to get something, then we came right over." apologized Summer. It seemed like Summer, Katie, and Isabelle had all become good friends, in a short matter of time. "Ok. As long as you're here on time." Katie walked over to her bass and started tuning it.

After band practice, they all waited outside for their rides. Soon after, all were gone except Summer, Katie, Isabelle, Freddy, and Zack. Freddy pulled Isabelle aside, even though she resisted. "What?" she spat out. Freddy blurted out, "I'm sorry I was mean to you, stole your journal, wouldn't talk to you, and anything else I did." Isabelle would of accepted this if she hadn't seen Zack behind him mimicking the words, making sure he got them right. "Wow. Some speech Freddy." Freddy blushed. "Thanks.." "Too bad Zack wrote it for you." She tried to walk off but Freddy stopped her. "Sorry, it's not my fault. I'm not the best at apologies. Zack just helped. I came up with what I wanted to say, he just.. figured out how to word it I guess." He shrugged. "Heh.. Maybe you should try on your OWN. I know. I know. Something you've never tried before, but try it out." She walked off, faintly saying bye to Katie and Summer. Freddy and Zack watched her walk off. "Ooh... She got you Freddy." said Zack. He patted him on the back and walked into his car.

That night, Freddy tried to write an apology.. It didn't work out. He reread it over and over trying to fix it. "Dear Isabelle." read his sloppy handwriting. "I am sorry that I hurt your sensitive girly feelings. Not my fault though. Sorry. -Freddy" 'Not the best thing to say I guess.' thought Freddy. He thought about her all night. He even found himself writing 'Isabelle' in his mashed potatos at dinner. He thought about her during everything he did. He finally stopped when he drifted off to sleep, until his dream about her started. "Freddy... Freddy..." He bolted up straight. It was sunny when he woke up. He got dressed quickly and ran out of the house mumbling 'bye.' He arrived at school the same time as Zack.

"Hey man. What's up?" asked Zack, still half asleep. "I dreamt about her..." said Freddy in a gaze. "'Bout who? Isabelle? What was it?" laughed Zack. "I..I was on a cliff, drumming, it was thunderstorming. She was falling on the cliff, barely hanging on... 'Freddy.. Freddy...' She fell. I just kept playing..." He looked straight reciting it. Zack made some sense out of what he heard. "Aw, come on man. You gotta get over her. Let's go." They walked inside. Freddy went back and sat on his desk, while Zack put his guitar in the closet. Something was peaking out of his desk. 'What is it?..' he thought. He picked it up and opened it. He held his breath silently, hoping it was a note from Isabelle. He opened it and breathed out heavy, accidently yelling "WHAT?!?!?" Everyone looked at him like he was crazy. "Sorry guys." he said. It was just an old math assignment. He investigated the whole paper. Nothing. No heart. No 'Isabelle was here'. Nothing.

Dewey walked in. "Alright everyone. We'll start in a minute. I'm waiting for Summer and Isabelle to come back. They went to get something for me." They soon walked in with a stack of papers each. Freddy eagerly watched Isabelle. She seemed different today. She looked more pretty to Freddy. She walked back to her desk, then sat down, and crossed her legs. Freddy looked down and saw her pink chucks. (A/N also known as Converse.) He smiled, then for once, he seemed completely happy. Zack turned around. "Are you high or something Freddy?" He nodded 'no'. He didn't know why he was. It was like she had a spell on him.
