~Isadora's POV
I eagerly walked toward the orphan shack. It was almost time for breakfast and Duncan had sent me to pick up the Baudelaires since he was busy getting ready for the day. I hope I get a chance to talk to Klaus; preferably alone...
I wanted to deny it. I truly did. But he was so damn dreamy! He was a perfect gentleman, super nice, intelligent, caring, and he was so cute. I just can't help myself. My crush was so obvious I'm sure people could see it from space.
I reached the shack and proceeded to calm my nerves. I opened the door slowly, in case they might still be asleep. What I saw instead was a sight that made me quickly shut the door, before I was seen, and hurry away from the area. I ducked behind a wall and felt faint. I was sure my face was at least 20 different shades of red. I've never felt so embarrassed...
"I just walked in on Klaus Baudelaire changing and he had abs..."
How?! I don't mean this as an insult, but he's a complete book nerd! How could he possibly have a body like that? Oh, I guess abs are caused by a lack of fat in that area so that explains it. Thank God, he was already wearing pants... if I had walked in a minute sooner I'm sure I would have fainted! Oh, my god... I can't stop blushing. How am I going to get through the day now? He sits right next to me in class! How on earth am I supposed to concentrate?
And his sisters weren't there. The shack is pretty small I would have seen them if they were. Ok let's think for a moment... what do I do? Unfortunately, before I could come to an answer I was interrupted by a voice.
"Good morning Isadora."
I jumped a bit and saw Klaus had come this way and noticed where I was standing. My heart was beating out of my chest. He was smiling that adorable, stupidly shy smile that I loved so much, but it's not even remotely what I was thinking about. My face was probably still red and I think my hands were shaking. I smiled shyly at him, trying to mask my nerves going into overdrive panic mode.
"Um... good morning Klaus..."
"Were you coming by the shack to pick us up for breakfast?"
"Uh... yeah."
We started walking to the cafeteria, "Oh, well Violet left to do the same thing earlier. Carmelita stopped by to tell us that Vice Principal Nero wanted Sunny to be at work early today, so she left to drop her at the office. She said she'd pick you and Duncan up at the broom closet afterwards. Have you seen her?"
I was doing my absolute best not to look at him as we walked, "No I went to the shack because Duncan was taking a while to get ready. I didn't run into her."
"Alright," I could feel him looking at me as he asked, "Are you ok? Your face is a little red."
No I am not ok. I now know what is under your school uniform, and my stupid teen girl brain most likely will not let me get over it! Ok calm down, Isadora, there has to be some explanation he'll believe! I had to think fast. Suddenly, an idea dropped into my head.
"I uh... I had a bad nightmare last night," I replied in a tone that I could only hope sounded convincing.
"I'm sorry to hear that," He said softly, "I get nightmares sometimes too. Do you want to talk about it?"
"No!" I noticed him flinch at my outburst. "I don't want to trouble you with my problems... and it's embarrassing anyway. Let's just get to breakfast I'm sure I'll feel better after I eat something."
"Ok... well if you ever want to talk I have read a few books on dreams, and I'm sure my research could help if you need it."
"Ok I know I'm lying, but awwww! He's so sweet! He cares about me! I don't deserve such a sweetheart as Klaus Baudelaire."
We entered the cafeteria and proceeded to get our food. We sat down at our table with Duncan and Violet, who had already gotten here. I didn't dare speak for all of breakfast. Duncan was too preoccupied drooling over Violet to notice. And Violet was having her own conversation with Klaus. I didn't see that Violet had noticed my odd behavior. And I also didn't see that Violet was rather hesitant to talk to Duncan. Despite knowing that two were obviously enamored with each other, they usually were good at talking to one another.
I envy Violet sometimes. My best friend was better at talking to boys than I was, and she was far prettier than me. I don't resent her for it; I'm just insecure. Even boys at this school who were fiercely loyal to Carmelita's "orphans should be hated" mentality would sometimes stop for a second glance when Violet walked by. I even heard a rumor from the girls' dorms that Carmelita hated Violet the most because she was so much prettier than her. But a rumor is just a rumor. And Carmelita is the one who spread the rumor about Violet and Duncan dating. They weren't, but I knew they both wanted it to be true someday.
We finished our meals and went off to our separate classes. As I took my seat next to Klaus, and waited for Mrs. Bass to start her pathetic excuse for a lesson, I pulled my precious notebook out. I carefully made sure no one could see before I quickly wrote down a recount of the incident that happened earlier.
I will never show this page to anyone.

I walked into the girls' bathroom after classes let out for the day. I don't know how I managed to keep up with the lesson today. I'm still so nervous. I've been nervous all day. I just need to get through dinner, make it through Vice Principal Nero's violin recital, and then I can attempt to sleep tonight. Ok I most likely won't be able to sleep tonight anyway, but I can try. Ugh... This day has been just not good at all.
"Hey Izzie."
I jumped and let out a mild squeak of terror as I heard Violet behind me.
"Violet! Don't sneak up on me like that!"
"I'm sorry," She walked up to me and gave me a concerned look, "If it helps I've been out of it today, too."
I forced myself to attempt a straight face, "I don't know what you're talking about. I'm perfectly fine!"
She raised a brow at me, "No you're not. And I haven't been either to be honest."
"What's your problem?"
Violet looked around and made sure we were alone here before saying, "I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours."
"Oh, you're evil... I don't want to."
"Why not?"
"Because just trust me you don't want to know."
"I could say the same about my problem, but you're the only person I can tell. You're my best friend Izzie, we tell each other everything."
My face felt hot again, I was sure I was over the blushing hours ago but now it was surely going to come back if I spilled my secret. But I noticed Violet was blushing too. My curiosity was starting to get the better of me. I didn't want to tell Violet what had happened earlier, but I did want to know what had happened to her. Perhaps her story would make mine look better by comparison.
"Are you sure we're alone?"
"Yeah there's no one else in here."
"Ok... on the count of three we'll say our problems at the same time."
She nodded, "Ok... one."
"Two."
"Three."
"I walked in on your brother changing this morning!"
We looked at each other in shock, "What?!"
"Isadora you didn't!"
"I didn't mean to! It just happened! Oh, Violet... I couldn't even look Klaus in the eye today. I was so embarrassed! I only saw him for like 2 seconds I swear! I shut the door and ran off before he noticed I was there. Now tell me what the hell happened when you saw Duncan?"
Violet was blushing, "I went to the broom closet and opened the door a little and noticed him changing into his uniform. He... I... Why didn't you tell me your brother had abs?"
"I could say the same to you! What happened after you saw him?"
"I shut the door and ran off. I panicked, ok? It's not like I knew what to do in this situation."
"I know how you feel. When Klaus found me I had to lie to him about having a nightmare to keep it a secret."
"Damn it," Violet cursed, "That's way better than my excuse. When I ran into Duncan in the cafeteria afterwards I told him it was just girl stuff and he got embarrassed and didn't say anything else."
I shook my head, "No you had a better excuse I didn't sound even remotely convincing."
"What do we do? I mean... if we confront them..."
"It would be the most embarrassing thing ever..."
Violet patted my shoulder, "Ok, Izzie I promise you I will not say a word. Can you do the same?"
"Of course I can Violet! What are friends for? I won't tell Duncan, as long as you don't tell Klaus."
"Deal," We even shook on it for good measure.
The two of us did eventually put these thoughts to rest the next day, and managed to go back to talking to our crushes easily. Violet and I would sometimes laugh about it in the distant future. And it wasn't until after Klaus and I officially started dating that I thought to share my little secret with him. I don't know if Violet ever told Duncan about her incident, and to be perfectly honest I didn't really want to know.
I kind of regretted telling Klaus what happened on that day back at Prufrock... because he thought it was the funniest damn thing he'd ever heard in his life.
I shouldn't have told him...
~The End!
I don't really have anything to add to this one. Bye!
