This chapter takes place some time before "Act Your Age". Enjoy!
I don't own Phineas and Ferb.
"Is that a new hairstyle?"
Isabella turned around to localise the voice that said it. Standing next to his locker was Phineas. His head was slightly tilted to the side as he looked at her hair, as if he was contemplating the reason for the unexpected change in her appearance.
"Um, not really..." She snickered slightly, unvoluntarily touching her low ponytail. "I overslept and didn't have time to braid a plait. But it's nice you noticed," she said with an almost unnoticeable smile. For once, she thought sadly.
"Oh, sure! I like it. It suits you."
Phineas observed her reaction. She smiled and looked at the floor. His mouth curved into a smile too. One day, he made a resolution that he would try to make her smile at least once a day. There was no particular reason for doing that; he just liked when she was happy. He liked knowing he was the reason. So every day, he remembered and made sure he made her smile at least once. There were so many other things he would like to tell her though. He would, one day; but for now, this was the least he could do.
"Thanks," she said quietly.
Stupid blush. Why couldn't she just get over him? Why were her reactions always like this? If only he knew what an influence those mere four sentences had on her... Just four sentences. Then he added just one more.
"You should do your hair like this more often," he said.
"I may try," she said ambiguously. She didn't like the thought of changing something just because he said one positive thing about it. "Now sorry... I'm almost late for my class. But thanks again, see you later!" She managed a smile, waved to him and walked off.
Next morning, she stood in front of the mirror, hesitating. After a while, a frown fell upon her face.
I can't believe I'm doing this.
With very mixed feelings, she took her bow and tied her hair into a low ponytail.
Thanks for reading! And please review.
Sorry it was so short; sometimes it's all that comes to my mind (again, the summary :P). Hope to update soon, but I'm kinda occupied with working on a new story for FictionPress. That's one of the reasons. :P
ElleFreak is out, peace!
