Chapter 40 - Moving on

Marc was unusually quiet. They were seated for the whole day without talking to each other. Isabelle felt relieved. Space and time would pave the way to forget what she feels for Marc. It would simply be a crush, nothing more. It must end there.

Isabelle gathered her things but when she looked at the seat next to her, Marc was gone. She got out and saw him talking to a girl a little bit taller than him. But he was happy and his eyes met hers in such a magical way. Isabelle felt like her heart was pricked by a thousand needles. She was saddened with the view right in front of her. But Isabelle needed to swallow whatever she was feeling and accept that Marc was moving on. She needed it too. She needs to choose. She can't be stuck in the middle running of wherever fate takes her. She must make her own destiny, her own choices for her own future. It lies on her decisions, what she truly feels deep inside.

Maria and Costanza was by her side. "It's fine", Isabelle said. "He's a guy. He just got bored easily". Isabelle was stung but she felt fine. No matter what happens Miguel would stay in her heart.

She was about to exit the gate when Ms. Sophia called her attention. Ms. Sophia was the adviser of the school paper. Isabelle walked towards her curiously.

"Hi Isabelle. I expect you to be prepped up for the yearly press conference. Okay?", Ms. Sophia told Isabelle eagerly.

"What? You picked me? Why thank you Ms. Sophia! I promise, I won't let you down."

"I expect it from you then."

Isabelle smiled proudly. She has moved on from both Marc and Juanito, ready to face the realities that come her way.
