Chapter 3
"Please," Mr. Remora begged. "Just read a few more."
"Yeah, c'mon Isadora," the other students of the poetry club begged.
"All right," Isadora's face was lit up with a huge grin. She fumbled through her black notebook to find her best poems. Last Tuesday, she had written four love poems. "Klaus Baudelaire" was written several times on the page margins along with numerous hearts. She blushed but selected a poem from that page and read it out loud.
"My heart beats from deep inside,
My love for you, it will not hide."
The small audience clapped and Mr. Remora yelled "Bravo!"
Isadora flipped through to the poems she had written today. She had a weird dream last night about people who were on the good side, but had betrayed them and joined Count Olaf. It had inspired her to write a couplet.
"She led him on and let him fall,
Taking it back, betrayed after all."
"Wow, that was deep," Kassandra gasped. "I love it."
"Yeah, great, read another," Mr. Remora beckoned.
"All right, one more," Isadora compromised. She flipped to the beginning of her book. "Aha!" She selected a poem.
"Fire is evil, but can be good,
Bringing us together, like a true love would."
Them members of the poetry club clapped. Afterwards, Mr. Remora dismissed the students to go off to dinner.
"Isadora, can I talk to you?" Mr. Remora grabbed her shoulder before she could go to the cafeteria for dinner.
"Sure," Isadora smiled at him.
"I have a question,
well more of an opportunity for you," he explained. "I've
noticed your talent in writing, obviously. There is a school
affiliated with Prufrock Prep called Aswell Academy. As I'm sure
you know, Abigail Aswell was a great poet back in the day so she
started a school centering around poetry and writing."
"That
sounds like something I'd like," Isadora commented.
'"Nero has notified me that a scholarship for their school is available. I think you are very deserving of this prestigious award. Would you like to accept?" Mr. Remora looked hopeful.
"What about Duncan?" Isadora did not want to lose her other triplet.
"He would stay here at Prufrock," Mr. Remora explained. "I'm sure he'd be fine with Violet and her little brother and that baby."
"I don't know," Isadora said. "I'd love to take advantage of this superb opportunity, but before I commit, I'd like to talk it over with Duncan first."
"Well, all right," he agreed. "Let me know by the next meeting."
"Okay, thanks. See you then," Isadora left the room and hurried off to eat with her friends.
