Hellooooo guys! So, I'll try to update this once a day, though I doubt I'll be able to write that fast. I just got a new job so I'm going to be a little busy. Anyway! I'm eating cookies for breakfast! It's not breakfast time anymore, but I just woke up a little while ago, so they're breakfast for me. So. I hope you enjoy the chapter!
"Mama, what do I do now?" Isabella asked, sitting back on a chair in the kitchen. "I've graduated college, I have no student loans, and all I need now is a really good job and some new friends." Her mom laughed.
"And you'll get all of that, you just have to be patient." She sighed as her mother put a bowl of cereal in front of her.
"Eat your food, sweetie. Today is the first day that you're not in school anymore!" Her mom smiled. She slowly smiled and started to eat. She watched as the milk rippled along with the cereal. For a minute, it looked like she could see a face in the bowl. When she rubbed her eyes, it was gone. She finished her cereal and put the bowl in the sink. "Go get dressed, we have to go to your fathers work today, he has a surprise." She raised one of her eyebrows as she walked out of the kitchen and up the stairs. She got dressed and brushed out her hair, avoiding the sash hung over the mirror. She bounded down the steps and waited outside for her mother, when a strange person walked up to her. He wore a grey hoodie, even though it was the middle of summer, with the hood pulled up over his head. He also had dark jeans and dark shoes on, and dark sunglasses. Even his hair was dark. Isabella watched him walk passed her, and then he stopped. He turned slowly, and looked at her.
"You've lost something. Something important to you." He said. She looked over at him.
"A while ago, I suppose," she thought back to the sash hanging over the mirror, and the friends that she had lost.
"You miss it, and you'd very much like it back, correct?" She nodded her head slowly, skeptical. "Well, I have something for you." He pulled down his sunglasses. Isabella could see that one of his eyes was green, and the other a clouded blue color. It was almost like the face she had seen in her ceral this morning He pulled a piece of paper from his hoodie and handed it to her. "On that paper are directions to get your life back together. If you follow those directions just as they are written, you will get the life you wanted, and should've had, back." His voice was shaky, and sounded deep, and wise. He smiled quickly and replaced his glasses and walked off as her mother came out of the house. She shoved the paper into her pants pocket. They drove the five minutes into the city where her father worked. They got into the building and into the elevator. Isabella hit the button for the 20th floor. She heard a familiar catchy tune play over the speakers, and a memory came back to her mind.
"Isa, are you alright?" Her mom asked. She was shaken out of her daydream, and nodded. The doors opened. They walked down the hallway and opened the door for her father's office. Her father smiled and sat her and her mother down on the chairs.
"Alright guys, now, this is going to be kind of big, so don't be too surprised. But! I'm getting transferred again. This time though, we're moving to Danville!" Isabella looked up to meet her father's eyes.
"We're what!?" Isabella yelled, surprised. That was the last thing that she thought was going to come out of his mouth.
"I thought you would enjoy that, since you'll be able to see your friends again!" She smiled between her parents and waited for them to finish talking. "Well. We'll be moving in three days, so start packing! By the way, we got the house right next door to where you used to live!" His smile seemed to grow bigger and bigger with every small piece of information he gave them. If only they had known that her friends didn't want anything to do with her anymore. Once the happiness had finally ended, her mother got up, and they left her father so he could finish his work. They stopped at the local home store and grabbed a bunch of boxes.
"Oh Isa, aren't you excited to be able to be going back?" She smiled, and nodded. "Are you sure? You don't seem like it."
"No, I'm excited mom, I really am." She smiled as she felt the paper in her pocket. "How much longer until we're home?"
"We're here now!" She said, as the car turned. Isabella brought boxes inside with her mom, and brought a few up to her room. She closed the door and glided down to the ground. She got the paper out of her pocket and opened it. It was an older looking paper, with scribbled writing.
To regain the way you want to be, just be sure you listen to me. First off all, be careful with that move. Don't throw away any of the things you think you might, you never know when you'll need them again. Second, you have an old friend. A specific friend, who has also gone through a life changing event. Make sure you meet up with him, and make sure you help him fix his life. He'll be sure to help you fix yours. And just make sure you get the right friend. He's not the one you're thinking of. Good luck!
So, I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but when Isabella was in the elevator and heard the catchy tune, it was Gitchee Gitchee Goo. I realize after the fact, that that wasn't really descriptive so people might not have gotten it. Anyway I hope you enjoyed, sorry it's still a bit boring, things will pick up after a few more chapters, promise:D
