Pony's P.O.V
The next day, I walked into the cafeteria and saw Isabel sitting alone at a table reading. I slowly walked over to her.
"Can I sit here?" I asked. She smiled up at me and nodded, so I sat down next to her, "What are you reading?"
"Les Miserables,"
"Oh, I have read that. It is a really good book if you can stand how much he goes into things," Isabel smiled.
"Yeah, as my mother and I like to say, he likes to hear himself write," she said giggling.
Later that day I sat in English class, listening to my teacher, Mrs. Roth explain the project that we were assigned to do.
"You can either work individually or with a partner. What you need to do is pick two classic books. For each book you need to write a four page report on why you like or do not like the novels. Also any other information that you find out while reading," Mrs. Roth said.

"Isabel, do you want to work with me on this project?" I asked nervously.
"Sure," she said as we walked to our lockers, "what books should we do?" she asked.
"Well, I know that Gone with the Wind is a classic. Have you read that?" I asked.
"Yes, of course I have," she said smiling. Her smile was beautiful. Her whole personality is just... wow. "And how about... Les Miserables?" she asked.
"Yeah, that would be great," I said.
"Do you want to come over my house so that we can get started?" she asked.
"Okay, let me just get my stuff from my locker and then we can go," I walked to my locker. After I packed up my bag, I walked back to Isabel. She was just closing her locker as I walked over to her.
"Are you ready?" she asked.
"Yep, I just have to call my brothers to tell them I won't be home right away." I said.
"All right, that's fine." She said as we walked out of the school and went to the pay phone that was outside the school. I put in the money and dialed the number of the DX station since I knew that neither Soda nor Darry would be home yet since today was Tuesday and they both had to work late on Tuesdays.
"Hello?" came Soda's voice over the phone.
"Hey Soda, listen when you see Darry could you tell him that I am not going to be home for a while?"
"Yeah, sure kid. Where are you going?" he asked curiously.
"Over to my friend Isabel's house to work on a project,"
"Okay, just call when you are ready to be picked up,"
"Thanks Soda." I said and hung up the phone.
"You ready?" Isabel said as she put her backpack on her back and we headed for her house. It was about a 20 minute walk to her house. When we got there we walked onto the front porch. She was about to open the door when she turned around and face me.
"Let me just worn you that my family can usually be weird when they want to be. My mom is usually okay, but my brother and my dad are another story," she said.
"What do they do?" I asked chuckling nervously.
"Oh, don't be nervous or anything, they are just constantly making wise cracks and fooling around," she said.
I laughed lightly "Okay."
"Well, brace yourself," she said as we walked in.
