Isabella by Allie Steppe (world of reading .TXT) 📕

back of the bus where Tamera and Ashley are sitting and plop down. "School was so borning" i mutter "i fell you, i hated my classes especially because that new girl-" Tamera stops speaking when she see's Leia coming. "hey guys can i sit here?", I see the hesitation in her eyes as she asks that "Sure", Ashley and I scoot over towards to Tamera so Leia can sit by the window next to Ashley. Tamera, Ashley, and I get in a conversation about funny stuff that happen a few days back, i look over at Leia to see her looking out the window. "Hey guys Leia doesnt know what were talking abut so lets tell her" I drop my bookbag and look both ways before saying "OK we were just talking about how Nate was singing to himself. Leia forces a smile, i can tell she doesn't care, so i lean back in my chair and sit silently all the way to Tamera's house. "Hey were going to Tamera's you wanna come?" i point at Tameras house while getting up "no sorry i have to go home, and help my parents unpack our stuff" Leia says forcing a smile again. Tamera rolls her eyes and says "OK lets go before the bus driver lady drives off", "bye Leia" i say, Leia waves at me and smiles for real this time.
When we get off the bus we walk down to Tamera's house and stop by the mailbox. i turn around to see Leia across the block opening her door walking in and closing it. I turn back around to see Ashley opening the door while Tamera searching through the mail to see if anything was for her. i walk inside and close the door behind me. Ashley, Tamer, and I walk up to Tanera's room. I sit down on the pink bean bag, Tamera sits on her chair near her laptop, and Ashley plops herself down on Tamera's bed pulling out her cell phone and texting. I'm about to ask her who's she texting but don't, instead i just think shes texting her 7 boyfriends. "Texting your 7 boyfriends?" Tamera asks while logging on her laptop "I don't have 7 boyfriends!!" "well it sure seems like it" "burrrrrn" i say. Tamera laughs throwing her head back with such force her hair comes out of the style I made for her. "Oops" she giigles, i roll my eyes and pick up the book next to me. i open the book and open to page 1.
The book is so interesting i forget that i'm in Tamera's house and i forget i'm on earth. I feel like i'm the main character in the book, if i could i would go into the book. i turn to the last page, read it and close the book. "Gosh, isabella you read fast" Tamera jokes. Ashley looks up from her phone and says "i have to go bye."uh, ok" Tamera and i both say. Ashley jumps off the bed and runs downstairs, a few seconds later i hear the door shut. "that was aqward" i stare at Tamera then run towards the window, just quickley enough to see Ashley getting in the car with a whole bunch of guys and their girlfriends with them "way to ditch us" i msay under my breath "what about this ditiching?", Tamera gets up and looks out the window "uh, i dont see anything" "yeah thats because she already left" "ohh" "yeaaah", i say while picking up my bag and jacket, "im gonna head out now" i open the door slightly "your going home so early?" Tameras blue eyes change from happy blue to confused blue "no i'm going to Leia's house", i open the door all the way and walk downstairs, close the door shut and walk up to Leia's house. i knok on the door and wait, i knock again, still no answer. I look up a one of the windows to see Leia staring at me, i pretend i don't see her so i walk away to my house. When i get inside, again i see Dareen on the couch with his laptop and tv remote. "where's mom?" i ask. He just keeps on doing his facebook and basketball then jabs his thumb towards the kitchen. i walk over to the kitchen to see my mom cooking cheese burgers. "Hi mom", i walk towards the cupborad where we keep our cups and get a cup. "oh, hey Isa i thought you were still at Tamera's house" "oh well i was but then i decided to come back home." my mom puts down the spatula and turns towards me "is everything okay, are you not feeling good?" she looks at me with a serious face on, i cant help but laugh because her face says serious but her brown eyes say she doesnt care at all "what is so funny?" she questions me "oh nothing, i'm okay but i dont think your burgers are", i point to the bernt burgeres. my mom turns around to only see a whole bunch of smoke, my mom panics and just stand there staring at it "mom do something!" i shout. Darren comes in and says "whats going on" but then catches the glimpse of fire "DARREN PLEASE DO SOMETHING" i yell Darren grabs a cup of water and pours it over the small fire. Everyone but me jumps back when he pours it on, i get a huge bruise on my wrist then my mom comes to me to tell me everything is all right and it will heal, i pull away and say "everything is not all right! i just got burned and youre teling me everything is all right! wow what a mother you are, oh wait are you just a manniquin of houw you froze there". i regret ever saying that to my mom and run outside. i run far away. i don't know where my feet are taking me but i just let them go until i stop, i look up at the tall maple tree. I attemp to climb to the top but only make it half way up because of my bruised wrist. i can see almost everything from up here. i wish i could go all the way up, if i could trust me i would. i feel exactly like that girl in the book i was reading earlier today, the girl who was put in so many situation so she ran away to ease herself out of the stress. wait but i'm not exactly like her, i didnt intentionally run away. Well come to think of it i actually might have run away, because if you are gona more than a day that means that you ran away. Even though i got here like 5 minutes ago, i probably don't know my way back home. I pretend like i'm Stephanie the main characheter from the book i was reading. I grab the tree branch with my bood wrist and pull myself up. i imagine i'm in Javiie and i pretend that the grass is blueish greenish, i pretend that the lake water is more blue than ever and i dont have to pretend for this one, that there is a beautiful sunset.
After i get tierd just standing there up in the tree i sit down and look at the sunset until it finally goes down, I'm guessing ive waisted about 3 hours in the tree, so i climb down, well at least try to but as i grab the branch below me with my bruised wrist and pull my body weight down, the pain runs through my body like lions running after it's prey. I fall all the way down and hit the ground with a thud. Tears swell up in my eyes but i keep them in. I stay on the ground for an extra 10 minutes, then i get up when i hear a noise, a noise of a dog, or a hungry hobo, even if it's a friendly dog or friendly hobo i'm not takin my chances. I ignore the pain set in me and run. From the outside i look like a normal girl running, but in the inside i'm a tiny little girl crying so much.
The stars have come out already by the time i get home. I walk inside and head staright for my room. I put on my nightgown and fall asleep.
"Moring sweet heart, are you okay?" my mom puts a tray with eggs, bacon, and pancake on my lap when i sit up. I get really confused i never get to eat in my room, oh well. i sit up and eat, after im done eating i look up to still see me mom messing with my stuff on my desk. i clear my throught and say "mom i didnt mean what i said yesterday." "i know sweetie, its okay thats the past lets look to the future." she looks at me and smiles. i hold out my tray so she can pick it up and get out. She looks at the tray picks it up and heads out my room. I throw a hard book at my door so it will close. i hop up and go to my laptop. once i open it up i get an instant message. I look at the instant message, and it's from -
