Chapter 3

After shopping with Izzy we loaded our multiple bags into the car. Izzy had bought me 12 new outfits and a few dresses that I knew I would never wear. She also tried on hundreds of dresses and shoes while dragging me along and asking my opinion. I've never had someone to care about what I had to say but I really wouldn't listen to any advice I gave about fashion.

When we arrived to Izzy's house my mouth gaped open. To call this thing a house was to call a horse an ant. Big was an understatement. I didn't see why any one family would need that many rooms. As if reading my mind, Izzy told me, " My parents occasionally take in foster children so they like to have a big space." I guess that explained it but four stories still seemed excessive to me.

When we walked into the mansion I could hear voices shouting. It sounded like two boys that were maybe our age. I listened closer to try to see what they were arguing about. I heard the words, "remote," and, "show," so I figured it was about the TV." JACE! ALEC! Stop fighting! I have a friend over and I don't want you to scare her off!" Izzy screamed so loudly I'm sure the whole neighborhood, which probably mostly consisted of this house alone, could hear her. They boys, whoever Jace and Alec were, shouted muffled replies as Izzy lead me up the stairs into what I presume was her room.

"So?" I asked." Were those your brothers fighting downstairs?"

"Yeah." Izzy replied. She went into further detail after a moment of consideration." Alec is my actual brother while Jace is adopted. They are both assholes but Jace is definitely worse. I really hope you don't have to meet him tonight because I am not in the mood for apologizing for his asshat behavior." At her last comment I giggled and she continued." So….What do you want to do first? We could paint our nails or watch a chick flick or gossip or ….." I sighed and tuned her out, nodding to whatever she suggested. I was just glad someone actually liked me and wanted to be my friend.

She won't want to be your friend for long. A little voice inside my head whispered. Just wait until she finds out your secret. NO. I refuse to let anyone find out. I might just lose everything if they do.

After staying up until 3 Izzy finally let me get some rest, warning me that she would wake me up at 5 to get ready. Who the hell would need 4 hours to get ready for school? I just don't see the point. Even when Izzy let me sleep something was keeping me awake. I kept hearing someone walk around on the floor above me and it was driving me insane. I decided I would go investigate.

I grabbed a robe off the floor seeing as Izzy had given me short shorts and a tank top to sleep in. I slowly tried to creep out the room and almost tripped on Izzy twice. After I shut the door behind me I tried to find the stairs. I accidently stumbled into someone's room. It had posters on the wall and looked like it belonged to a twelve year old but the bed was empty. Huh. That was strange. Maybe it was one of the foster kid's Izzy mentioned earlier.

I kept tiptoeing until I finally reached the stairs. Each step creaked softly and for a moment I heard the footsteps upstairs stop. My heart was pounding in my chest but eventually the footsteps started back up again. I continued up the steps as quietly as possible and made it to the top. Releasing a breath I didn't even know I had been holding, I started down the hallway. When I got to the room above Izzy's I stopped dead in my tracks. The door was open with the light on, but no one was inside. Before my brain could even consider that fact that I was going insane, I heard someone clear their throat behind me." Shit," I thought, "I'm totally busted for sneaking around a stranger's house."

"Well Red, I definitely didn't expect to have a stalker on the first day of school, but I bet you're just full of surprises." Oh god. It's the golden boy from the hallway. I'm totally screwed. I turned around as slowly as possible to find his face only a few inches from mine, green eyes pouring into gold. Yep. Completely screwed.
