Isabella

I walk into the damn building I've loathed since middle school. I can't believe I turned down my mom's offer to go and live with her in Canada and continue with my education there. But I'm a daddy's girl so I just had to stay back with my dad and two brothers after my parents' divorce.

   I don't really know why they got divorced but it wasn't really messy. They were friends before they tied the knot and they agreed to stay friends no matter what. So technically, I have 2 biological cool parents and two extra who are just as fun but also the displinary kind.

    Back to school, 'Nickel high' is probably one of the highest learning institutions this city has, and also the place i sealed my fate 7yrs ago. My first encounter with the most deranged bully I've ever met and cliché as it seems, I've had a crush on him for the longest time. Waking to my locker, I noticed the school hallways were empty as always. Francisca, my best friend since the day I was born says I'm a nerd, bookworm, dork and everything nerdy on this planet. Just because i get to school 55mins early, definitely ahead of my classmates in most courses that we share together and also taking voluntarily advanced Math, Physics and every other boring classes. My personal fav definitely the Arts. Everything that defines the Arts, I'm definitely surprisingly good. I opened my locker and picked out my new and very rare advanced Chemistry textbook. I don't say this often but Chemistry is my favorite Science. Everything about it makes me feel so alive, even though this one time I got an A-. I literally almost fell into depression until Fran showed me her test score which she only got an A. I scoffed at the thought and gently tried to close my locker, before I could even comprehend my thoughts, he had already smashed it  shut and pinned me against my own locker.

I swear those brown eyes could light up even the darkest room. I'd recognse them anywhere and everywhere, except they were blazing fury and piercing through me, so I did one of the most dumbest things I could do to a...to say a very furious Rigoberto would be an understatement; I tucked a loose strand of hair behind his ear.

I've always loved Rigo's hair. The moment I saw those very dark navy blue strands dancing in the wind when were in the second grade, my opinion changed about him. Yes, our history stems from that far. The moment I heard him pur, I swear I widened my eyes blinking. I'm pretty sure I got my eye prescription glasses wrong, the second that boy had a crooked smile on him. His hair was in a slick back ponytail and it just added more beauty to his boyish appearance. When I tell you puberty hit hard in the best ways ever on this boy more than any other boy I'd ever seen, you'd think I'm lying. It's not that most guys were ungly, quite the opportunity really. Rigo just couldn't get more gorgeous.

" Gonzalez- he growled really quietly, sounding more like a very harsh whisper -what the hell is it with you playing with fire every chance you get?" He continues, this time his voice deeper and more lethal than before.

Honestly, I would just ignore it most if the time, usually every chance he gets to try and scare me or whatever he thinks he's doing but he just invaded my privacy at this very moment and today on a Thursday of all days.

I sighed teasingly then looking directly in those blazing brown irises of his I said, "How do I avoid fire that keeps following me Berto? Did you ever think about that?" To finish everything off, I pouted. Yep, I freaking pouted and let me tell you, Berto was not happy about it.

"That's Rigoberto, to you Firefly." He spat out. I rolled my eyes and tried to leave but he just pulled me back and let me hit it painfully, I winced. The grip he had on my wrist behind my back, kinda gave me second thoughts on me ever infuriating Berto ever again.

"And that's Isabella to you too,Berto." I said through gritted teeth, clearly frustrated. I've wasted 5min just being here.

"You don't ever listen, do you?" He pinned my arm harder, I could tell he's grinning by now.

"No." I spat.

"So,we agree to disagree then." He said and I nodded perfusely. Before I could process anything, he gripped my loose,messy bun and just cut it. Just like that no warning, no nothing. And just like before, he walked away, leaving me utterly speechless and confused.
