"In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities."

Chapter 27 - Revelation

Her heart was jumping with excitement. 'Would he be early today? Was he wearing that favorite jacket of his? Did he get a haircut?' Each question whirled in Isabelle's head as she approached the school premises. Everything was the same: the smell of the chalkboards, the strict old security guard standing near the gate and the tape - filled ceilings of every classroom. And as always, Isabelle was first to arrive at the gate. She strode down the hallway and got in the petite classroom. She waited for time to pass. People were coming in the classroom, saying 'Hi's' and 'Hello's". Isabelle politely answered back though she was hesitant to see that one person she was waiting for the whole morning. She didn't have anyone to talk to, so Isabelle decided to just read her journal. Her eyes were giving in when she caught sight of someone at the door. Jasmine, her classmate, was talking to Juanito. She didn't react but her heart was racing like a time bomb ready to explode. She wanted to walk pass them, after all it was a doorway; but she kept still, trying not to attract attention. Suddenly, Maria walked in, swift and smiling. "Guess what?", Maria said with a tone. "What is it?", Isabelle asked, confused.

"I just talked with Jenna, you know Juanito's friend?"
"And?"
"Umm... Do you really want to know?"
"yes!"
"She told me that.."
"that?"
"Juanito knows you""
"Oh.."
"That's not all, he.. knows you like him"

Isabelle was speechless; but she sort of new it. It was kinda obvious with her classmates and all. She glanced at the door and Juanito was nowhere to be found. She smiled and stood up, there was nothing to worry about.

"When you are in Love you can't fall asleep because reality is better than your dreams."

Chapter 28 - Hair

The wind blew and it was like viewing from window blinds. Isabelle hurried towards the school's canteen while hastily wiping strands of hair from her face. She bumped into something or someone but too caught up to care. Once that was done, Isabelle turned her head and reflexively smacked her forehead. She bumped into Juanito, that was for sure. He was the only person at the entrance. Isabelle felt sorry for herself and Juanito. She should have said sorry to the poor guy rather than swiping away hair. Stupid hair. She headed towards their classroom and opened the door like always. The smell of floor wax, chalk dust and sweat instantly arouse. She led out a deep breath and came in. Isabelle plopped down her stuff and headed for the door. With nothing to do she just wanted fresh air. She decided to sit on one of the stairs. Seeing empty corridors, Isabelle stretched her aching feet when Juanito passed by and tripped. Luckily he caught his balance with the rails. Strike two. Isabelle was caught by surprise. She stood up and bowed her head frantically then ran from Juanito. It was psychotic. Juanito was taken aback too but after Isabelle's stunt, he couldn't help but grin. He raced up the stairs and didn't bother to chase after Isabelle.
