Isabella's POV

There was candy everywhere...sour patches, chocolate, gummy bears...I think I was in heaven...

There it is!

I found my deliciously tasting skittles.
I picked out orange, yellow, and green. Ready to put them in my mouth I tilted my head back, closing my eyes to savor the moment--

Briiiiing! Briiiiiiing! Briiiiing!

I'm in love with the shape of you

We push and pull like a magnet do

Although my heart is falling too

I'm in love with your body

Jumping out of bed quickly I grabbed my hairbrush and started to sing to it.

And last night you were in my room

Now my bedsheets smell like you

Every day discovering something brand new

I'm in love with your body

'What is all that--never mind' my father said closing the door.

Laughing to myself I put the hairbrush down and rushed after him.

'Clara, I am really concerned of her mental health, singing in the morning! I want what she's smoking!'

My father must be delirious.

First let me introduce you to my family.

Eillot is my dad who is 37 years old and Clara is my mom who tells me age is just a number. I also have a little brother named Bryan and he is 10 years old and I am 17 years old, turning 18 exactly 1 month and 12 days from August 22.

Bryan was also sitting at the table and was telling my dad:

'That's what I've been trying to tell you for the past 10 years of my life!'

I walked past him and said 'Hey retard' then ruffled his hair.

'Hey NOT the hair!'

He raked his hair back with his fingers.

Grabbing a plate and piling it with pancakes I reached across the table to get the honey.

But of course someone named Bryan stopped me.

With a mischievous grin he squirted the honey onto his pancakes before drizzling some on my arm.

'What the heck dude' 'Mom!' 'Did you not see that!'

'See what honey?' she stood up from the table and went to the sink to wash her plates.

Letting out a frustrated groan I stabbed my pancakes and shoved them into my mouth.

The little brat was smiling at me! Smiling at me! The nerve of this boy.

Smiling back maniacally I kicked his leg.

His eyes widened and his mouth formed an 'o'.

Laughing quietly to myself, Bryan opened his mouth to shout for Mom and Dad.

I covered his mouth with my hand and a few seconds after feeling a warm sticky substance that felt like spit.

'BRYAN!'

'What' he said innocently.

I went to the sink to wash my hands then stuffed the last of my pancake in my mouth as I heard Mom and Dad conversing in the living room as he limped after me.

'Bye dad' and kissed his cheek.

'Bye Bell'

'Bye Agent 20232'

'Bye bye commander' my dad said saluting Bryan.

He gave a kiss on the cheek to my mom before giving us one final wave and leaving out the door.

'I call the bathroom!'

'Not if I can get there first dear brother'

Running after him he dodged and weaved through the stairs but not before my Mom sighed....

Kids these days

* * * * * *

Looking myself in the mirror I felt satisfied with the result.

I had on skinny black jeans with a red
sleeveless shirt with a gray cardigan. Along with white converse, a black and gold bracelet.

Smiling to myself I grabbed my backpack and slipped my Ray Bans into my backpack.

I made my way downstairs and faintly heard a knock outside my door.

'I'm coming!' I said and rushed down the stairs quickly.

Where's Mom? I wondered.

Opening the door I was greeted by the smiling face of Liam Wright, my best friend.

Smiling back at him I greeted him and gave him a hug.

'Wow Bells is that really you!'

'Yup, I happily smiled giving him a little twirl.

He gave me another hug as he stepped back and took another good look at me.

'Take a picture it'll last longer.'

'I sure will-hey where's your brother?'

My brother stepped back from the doorway in which he was hiding from.

'SURPRISE MOTHERTRUCKER' he growled.

Me and Liam both shared a look before ruffling his hair and walking outside.

'NOT the hair again, that took me like 5 minutes'

Chuckling as Bryan grumbled behind us we walked the short distance to Liam's car.

I slid into the passenger seat and Bry slipped into the back.

Liam soon started the engine and we were soon off to Withers Elementary School.

After Bry left the car I was momentarily numbed as the effects of school jitters washed over me.

Liam was fumbling around with his phone or something before the car filled up with music.

The familiar song of Shape of you came on. A smile broke out on my face and Liam looked at me searching my face before smiling too.

The club isn't the best place to find a lover

So the bar is where I go

Me and my friends at the table doing shots

Drinking fast and then we talk slow

And you come over and start up a conversation with just me

And trust me I'll give it a chance now

Take my hand, stop, put Van The Man on the jukebox

And then we start to dance

And now I'm singing like

Girl, you know I want your love

Your love was handmade for somebody like me

Come on now, follow my lead

I may be crazy, don't mind me

Say, boy, let's not talk too much

Grab on my waist and put that body on me

Come on now, follow my lead

Come,come on now, follow my lead.

Liam took over the chorus looking giving me occasional glances as he sang it.

If this was a competition bring it on!

Oh I oh I oh I oh I

I'm in love with your body

Oh I oh I oh I oh I

I'm in love with your body

Oh I oh I oh I oh I

I'm in love with your body

Every day discovering something brand new

I'm in love with the shape of you.

Liam smiled at me as he turned off the key in the ignition.

'So Bells you think you're ready for school'

'Do I think?'

Leaving a dramatic pause as Liam curiously stared down at me,

'I know I'm ready!'
