Isabella's POV
"Wow, this amusement-park is bigger than I thought!" exclaims Baljeet as we enter the park. Phineas looks around excitedly and waves to us as he runs towards the rollercoaster.
"Then what are we waiting for? C'mon guys, there's not a minute to loose!" he exclaims. Ferb manages to put his finger underneath Phineas's shirt in the neck, stopping him from running any further. He keeps on running for a while, but he doesn't get anywhere.
When he's stopped, Ferb releases him and he turns back to us. "Oh right, I forgot, sorry Isaac. We'll wait for your girlfriend, is she here soon?" he asks with his usual optimistic smile.
I laugh nervously. "No dudes, it's chill! We-we can go to the rollercoaster, she won't be here in a while anyway!" I lie. Phineas shrugs and starts walking towards the rollercoaster.
"If you say so, let's get a place in the line!" he exclaims. I stop at the end of the line along with the others, sighing. Of course I haven't gotten a girlfriend, I don't know anyone here! I tried to get Richard to be my girlfriend, but he said no before I could even finish my sentence… and I was so nice to him!
Flashback
I look down in my hands where I have Richard's favorite-chocolate. I take a deep breath and ring his doorbell. After about 5 seconds, he opens the door and smiles when he sees me. "Hi Isabella… or Isaac… I don't know what to say." He says confusingly. I give him a 'really?' face.
"I'm just dressed up as a dude, that doesn't mean I am one! You know my real name, then call me by it. Except when I am with… you know, people." I say. He chuckles.
"Whatever." He says. I hold out the chocolatebox, grinning widely. He eyes me suspiciously as he takes the box and starts eating the chocolate-pieces. "And what do you want now?" he asks.
I put a hand on my heart, pretending to be offended. "Wha-? You mean I can't visit my friend and give him his favorite chocolate without a reason?" I fake. He looks at me tiredly, not believing me for a second. I can understand that, I've never acted that badly in my entire life.
"Okay, I've kinda screwed it up at the school… you see, I may have told my friends that I have a girlfriend… soo I was wondering if you-" I start, but I am cut off by Richard slamming the door in my face. I close my mouth and pound on the door. "You didn't even let me finish the sentence!" I shout.
"I am NOT pretending to be your girlfriend! Never ever!" shouts Richard from the other end of the door. I sigh, already knowing I can't win this fight. When Richard has decided something, nothing can change his mind. Not even the most stubborn girl in the world who was willing to dress up like a guy to avoid the orphanage.
"Fine… but I want my chocolate back!" I shout angrily. Suddenly, I hear a creaking sound and I look down to see that Richard is opening the letterbox. He pours out the chocolate-pieces through it, so they all land on the floor.
I snort. "Fine, you can keep them."
I thought my plan was completely waterproof, but I guess I was wrong.
One good thing is that my first week in school is over, and it was… extraordinary. The good thing is that I'm one of the best students in class and the teachers love me, which is kind of the reason why I attended this school. But hey, I still want to fit in, right? Which I kind of don't do…
For an example, several times, Phineas have caught me staring at him(Hey, he's hot, it's not my fault?) and I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm gay or something. Which is another reason why I need a girlfriend, so he doesn't think that! Some of the guys are also scared of me, since I knocked Eric out last Monday… aand half of the school thinks I'm kind of a freak. I mean, I know I'm not a hunk or something, but I'm not that ugly as a guy, right? Maybe they think I look like a girl, I kinda do…
"Isaac? Earth to Isaac! It's our turn!"Phineas shouts as he slaps me across the face. I shake my head into reality again and rub my cheek.
"Ouch! What was that for?" I exclaim. Phineas grins apologetically.
"I'm sorry buddy, you just wouldn't wake up from your daydreaming! It's our turn, come on!" he says as he grabs my hand, which sends chills through it and up along my spine. NO, stop it Isabella! You have a girlfriend, act like that.
"Wow, that rollercoaster was awesome! Nothing like the one we built, but hey, they can't all be a 10." Says Phineas as we get out of it.
"Uhm, rollercoaster? Have you guys like, designed one or anything?" I ask him. He grins at me.
"Well, more like, really built one. In our backyard, when we were 10." He says. My eyes turn to the size of saucers and my mouth drops to the floor. He's messing with me, right? Is he? That's not like him… but he can't have built a f***ing rollercoaster at age 10!
"Excuse me, you did what? You and what army?" I ask, stunned. He laughs.
"No army, just me and Ferb. Well, we got some help from a company as well, they lent us a robot to place out the parts." He says casually. I just gape at him. I've actually lived together with a prodigy for 1 week?! And he hasn't told me?! Okay, now this is sick.
I open my mouth to ask him more, but then Baljeet and Ferb come as well. "That was awesome! One of the best rollercoasters I've ever been on!" Baljeet exclaims and throws his hands in the air and Ferb nods in agreement.
"So, is your girlfriend here yet Isaac?" asks Phineas impatiently. He's seriously dying to see her, he's been asking questions about her for the entire week! Is he seriously that impatient to get the proof for me not being gay?
Okay, I can't postpone this for the entire evening anyway, so. "Yeah, I just got a text-message from her! She says she's on her way here." I say with a nervous grin. The guys smile excitedly at each other and I roll my eyes. "Seriously guys, why are you so excited to meet her?" I ask them.
Baljeet laughs. "Come on Isaac, which guy wouldn't be excited to see a girl? Even though she's taken." He says. I scoff at them.
"Are you guys seriously that superficial? She's a woman, she deserves to be treated as one too, not an object!" I exclaim angrily. In fact, I wasn't defending my girlfriend, I was telling them the truth. It is true, on my previous school, I was one of the hottest. It's not something I brag about, I'm just saying all the guys were crazy about me, but not for me, but for my gender and my body.
"Don't worry Isaac, Baljeet were just kidding." Says Phineas while looking at Baljeet, gritting his teeth. Baljeet backs off a little and I giggle.
"Of course we don't see women that way, they are human beings, and they deserve to be treated that way too." Says Phineas. Baljeet laughs nervously.
"Yeah, I mean, I'm still excited to see how your girlfriend looks, but not because of that. I just… want to see how she looks and how she is like, that's all. I'm sorry if you misinterpreted." Says Baljeet as politely as ever. I smile at them gratefully.
"Thanks guys, that means a lot to me. I mean… her." I say quickly and smile.
"So, is she here soon? The entrance isn't far away." Says Phineas and looks around. Oh right, she's supposed to be here too.
"Oh yeah, I think she might have went to the bathroom or something, just wait here, she'll be here soon. Uhm… you know I kind of feel a little nauseous from the ride, I gotta go to the toilet!" I exclaim quickly as I rush off to the bathroom.
I go into the boy's rooms and into a booth, then I slide off my backpack and open it. I take out a lace-tanktop along with a pair of jeans-shorts and a bra, then I change into it. I go exit the booth and look around. No boys in sight, good.
I sneak out from the boy's rooms and into the girl's. Great, no girls in sight either.
I carefully rip off my fake-beard and take off my wig. "Ahh, that's nice." I exclaim as I get it off. I seriously have to wear it everywhere, except in the shower in our room. This is the first time in one week that I can have my real hair in public.
I brush it quickly, then I put on some mascara and lipgloss along with some rouge. Not that I usually wear make-up, just that I need to look a little bit different from Isaac. Even though we have the same hair-color, the same face and the same body. Well, I have a more girly body now, but.
I take a deep breath as I look into the mirror. I smile at my reflection, I really look like myself again. Ahh, how I've missed it. I turn to walk out, but I freeze and look down.
I'm lucky I noticed, I forgot to change my shoes… I take off my dark-grey Nike-sneakers and slip into a pair of white Converse instead, then I put the backpack in a locker and lock it. I look at my watch.
Great, it took me ten minutes to change, they're probably still there! I hope, or else they're just so mean…
I slowly walk towards the exit to the rollercoaster where the guys stand and talk about something. I take a really deep breath, then I carefully walk up to them. Oh gosh, I can feel my legs shaking. I walk up to them and start to talk in my girl/real-voice.
"Hey guys, are you Isaac's friends? I'm Isabella, his girlfriend." I say as cutely and girly as I can. They turn around to face me, and Baljeet's mouth drops while Phineas freezes wide-eyed. I bite my lip and wave a hand in front of their faces. "Uhm… hello?" I ask carefully.
Ferb looks at them, then he sighs and stretches out his hand. "Hello, Isabella. It's nice to meet you, and I bet these two knuckle-heads think the same. My name is Ferb, the triangle over there is Phineas and the guy with nosebleed is Baljeet." He says politely. Wow, I didn't know he was the one who acted in situations like these. It kinda makes sense when you think about it.
"Right… hi Ferb! I thought you were the quiet one?" I giggle. He smirks at me and nods.
"Yes, I've been told so… but actually I-" he is cut off by Phineas who suddenly regains his composure.
"You're Isaac's girlfriend? How does that make sense?!" he exclaims. I scoff at him, how dare he talk like that? Isaac is me? Okay, I do suck like a guy, but still! That bastard…
"Well hello to you too. And yes, I am. How it makes sense? I have noo idea. But Isaac's sensitive and sweet and thoughtful and-and humble… girls love a kind guy, actually. Well, I don't mean he should be over-kind, he should still be fun and things like that, but kind too." I say.
I suddenly notice that I rumbled, which I do sometimes. I just started talking about what I actually look for in a guy. Phineas smiles. "Yeah, Isaac's pretty much like that. But boy, he's tough too! You know, he took down the strongest and toughest guy in school! In gym class, when we did boxing." He says happily, his eyes full of optimism.
I laugh. "Yeah, he is like that. A top guy, simply. He can both treat me like a queen and defend me as my knight in shining armor… okay, now I just zone out in a fairytale or something, soorry!" I say quietly.
Baljeet, who has woken up from his trance as well, looks around. "So, is Isaac gonna be here soon? I wanna ride something soon!" he says excitedly.
"W-well, I met him on my way here, he was on his way to the toilet. B-but he said we could go ride something, he couldn't ride anything anyway, he's feeling too sick! He said he was probably gonna find a café and sit down, you know. Maybe some water, to cure the sickness! And… I rumble again. Sorry, I always do that…" I say awkwardly as I look down.
Phineas's POV
This… might have been the hottest, most beautiful girl I've ever seen. And she's so cute also when she rumbles and the way she looks down right now… she's so adorable! And she's taken… by my freaking roommate. This really isn't fair!
Naw, look at her, she's still looking down! She's just so beautiful…
"Haha nah, it's okay. I think it's rather cute." I say with a smile. She looks up at me, not really believing what she just heard, judging by her face. My smile disappears as I realize she has a boyfriend. Shit, wrong words, wrong words! "I-I mean it's better than being mute!"I say quickly. She looks blankly at me for some second that feels like hours, then, an amused grin spreads over her beautiful face.
"Sure you did. Now come on, there're so many rides we haven't tried out yet!" she exclaims. I smile at her optimism, another good thing in a girl! Please don't tell me she's funny or smart or anything, because then she'll be perfect…
"Uhm, so you don't want to ride this one first?" asks Baljeet and points to the rollercoaster we just rode. She looks at it, then at us.
"Uhm, but we just rode that one?" she asks confusingly. Then, realization seems to dawn on her and she shakes her head. "Hehe, no I'm just kidding, I haven't ridden that one yet! But you guys just did it probably, so it's okay! Let's go to something new!" she runs behind us and pushes us forward.
I chuckle and start walking. Hopefully, this will be an awesome night.
Poor Izzy, she has two be at one place, but as two people… let's just hope Isaac stays nauseous… I love you guys, stay tuned for the next chapter!
