Phineas's POV
Okay, my don't seems to be… the brightest. But he has to be smart, how would he have got into this school if he's not smart?
"Why did you accept the invitation? You could have just said you were busy!" asks Isaac from our room. I stop and look at the door. Who is he talking too?
"Well, maybe I wanted to meet your friends! Excuse me for taking interest in your life!" screams another person, who sounds like Isaac's girlfriend. I look in through the keyhole, where Isaac sits on the floor. But it doesn't look like he's holding a phone. In fact, I can see it in his backpocket! Then, how in the world is he talking to her?
I decide not to dread it and instead I turn to walk to the gym. Who knows, maybe he will be the best roommate I could ask for later on.
Isabella's POV
I enter the gym and look around for Phineas. I spot him on the bleacher along with Ferb and Baljeet, the same guys I saw before, and I start climbing the stairs to join them. "Hey fellas, sup?" I ask as boyish as I can. They wave at me.
"Hi there, Isaac. Phineas told us about you, and I heard you and your girlfriend are coming with us to Adventure-land next Friday!" says the one of them which I assume is Baljeet, because he's clearly the Indian guy of them, and Baljeet is obviously an Indy-name.
I smile uncertainly and sit down next to Phineas. "Hehe, yep! Me and my girlfriend are coming with you! My great girlfriend… and I…" I tap my thighs nervously with my fingers. They are going to ask me further questions, I can feel it. Boy, was I a fool to skip the Improvise-patch in my old scout-group…
"Oh, I see. So, what's your girlfriend's name?" asks Phineas. Yep, further questions it is. Okay, but how hard can it be to come up with a name?
I play with my fingers and open my mouth several times, but I close it. Okay, just say something. Diana, Anastasia, Gabriella! "Uhm, her name is… Isabella!" Oh shoot, seriously?!
Phineas chuckles. "Isaac and Isabella, huh? That's pretty similar names. I laugh.
"Yeah, we are both pretty similar in many ways! And the scariest part is, we are incredibly much alike in our looks, it's like we're twins! The first question people use to ask us is not if we're together. It's if we're siblings!" Why am I telling them this?! Stop it mouth, stop talking!
Baljeet eyes me suspiciously. "Hmm, are you sure you do not overdrive? It sounds a little bit overdone to me. I mean, how much alike are we talking about here?" he asks. I shrug nonchalantly.
"Well, we have the exact same head-shape, our hair-colors are the same, we have the same nose and lips, we have the same eyes…" I count the things with my fingers. Baljeet laughs.
"Wow, it seems pretty scary! Have you ever thought of the opportunity of you guys being long lost twins or something?" he says, but of course he is joking. I think…
"Hahah, good one! Well, no more questions, right?" I ask and I smile big. Please don't say anymore, please don't say anymore, please don't say anymore.
"Well, yes one more thing. How could you-" Phineas is cut off by the principal tapping the microphone once and the lights in the gym is dimmed.
"Hello beloved students, and welcome to Evian High! For some of you, this place is familiar and you've been here for a longer time. For some of you, this is the first year. And those are the ones I address this to. Evian High is one of the best schools in the country, famous for its good regime and excellent working environment. With our highly modern classrooms, parks and other facilities, strict rules and good results, we've reached the top.
I would like to go through 3 of the most important rules on this school. If you're breaking them, you're thrown out immediately, without any further exemptions. Rule nr 1: You can not be late for any class. If you are late for more than 3 classes per semester, you are expelled. How you decide to prepare yourself for a lesson is your concern. Rule nr 2: Skip any classes is strictly forbidden. If you are sick or if you are going on a vacation etc, you must inform us at least 30 minutes before your class. No information will lead to immediate expulsion. Rule nr 3: You must treat your teachers and classmates with respect. You will be sent to me if a fight or anything similar occurs for a visit. More than 3 visits per semester and you're expelled, without any further exemptions.
There are of course many smaller rules which can be found in a binder in everyone's bedroom. Break the smaller rules more than 5 times per semester and you're expelled. If you think these rules and punishments sound too strict for you then, fine. Pack your bags and leave. This school is not supposed to be easy and just another public-school. To keep our rumor, we need to be strict and formal. I hope you all came ready for this.
But, the strictness has its benefits and awards. On this school, you can enjoy first-class facilities and other fun stuff. Our food, for example, is free and we have all sorts of it. We also have a highly modern spa, even if that might be something more for the ladies. We have a library filled with endless knowledge and our technique is top-modern, with the best computers the industry have to offer and a safety-system worth millions of dollars.
We have plenty of things for you to explore, and everything is free. Well, almost everything, but you can read all about it in the binder placed in your room. I hope you all are going to enjoy your time here. We'll see you at Monday when the classes start at 8am. Until then, have fun! Thank you all for your time, I'm your principal Harry Hoffman." He puts the microphone aside as a big round of applause erupts.
As the applauses dies down, I stand up from my seat and start walking towards the exit, along with 200 other people at the same time. Yeah, this is going to take a while.
I open the door to our room and flop down on my bed. "Wow, I didn't think this school was that strict… I mean, more than 3 delays and you're out? It's sick! Why can't they just give us detention? This whole thing sounds overdone…" I say. Phineas goes into the bathroom.
"Yeah, it's pretty overdone. But it is one of the best boarding-schools in the country after all, it's supposed to be overdone." He says. Okay, he might be right, but I had no idea it would be this strict here. That makes it even harder to keep my secret! And what if they reveal me? If this would have been 1800, I would have been executed for that.
Okay, no time for thinking bad thoughts. I'm going to make this! I can be a guy for an entire year! Hopefully… an entire year… and it's only been one day. Yepp.
Poor Isabella! I'm not sure how long this story will be, an entire year? I will not write about every month I think, I don't want this story to be endless. Favorite and review, please!
