Chapter 3 - The Aura of Light

Isabella's Apartment comes into sight. It has a well furnished building structure containing 2 bedrooms, a living room, a dinner room, a bath room and a kitchen. Isabella gets ready for school as she called out to her mum who's in the kitchen preparing breakfast..... Mum, is breakfast ready?! I'm almost running late for school?! She exclaimed. Just give me a few minutes, Love! It will be ready in no time! cried out her mum from the kitchen. Alright Mum! Please, hurry up. I'm Coming!..... exclaimed Rose. Some few minutes later, she was done making breakfast as she heads to the dinner room carrying with her a tray of sandwiches and two cups of tea. Breakfast is ready, Love! She calls out to Isabella who's still dressing up in her bed room. Alright mum, I will join you shortly! Isabella quickly searches for her note-books inside her drawer. She picks them up and drops them inside her bag then rushed out of the room as she heads to the dining room. Rose smiles when she sees her. Here you are...…. Isabella quickly takes her seat on the dining chair next to her mum as she began to munch hungrily on her food. You sure do love to eat a lot, don't you? She added.

Isabella was done eating some minutes later. She quickly stood up from her chair to give her mum a peck on her cheek. love you mum! See you after school...…. She rushes out of the apartment so as to catch up with the next available bus to school. Rose exclaimed. Take good care of yourself out there!.... I will mum! ... answered Isabella.

At School, "The Sunshine International High School", a well-structured building is viewed revealing a playground, classes, laboratories, Cafeteria, a lobby and other smaller rooms in the building. Students are seen rushing into their classes just as the school bell rang. Isabella had just alerted from the bus as she started to run towards the direction of her school. Just as she walked into the class room, she could feel all eyes on her. I wonder why they're staring at me like that? she thought..... It's not like it's my first time appearing in class.... She ignores them and went to have her seat. Tina, a new transferred student and Isabella's seat partner waved at her smiling..... You don't need to pay attention to them kid. Isabella stared blankly at her. Huh? Yeah. Who are you by the way and why are you seating right next to me? Tina smiled as she tries to shake her hand. I'm Tina James. I'm a new student who just got transferred to your school today. What's your own name?

Isabella ignores her as she took a text book from her bag and started to read it. I wonder where I stopped last time? ...… she silently mutters as she began to go through the pages once again. Tina feels uneasy. It doesn't seem like you're interested in talking to me? You're such a snub...…. Isabella puts down the book she was reading and faces her. What did you just call me? Tina replied. You're a snub. If I'm a snub then you're a loser...…. she retorted back. I beg your pardon. Tina feels upset...…. You know what, you're just a jerk who don't deserve my friendship! Isabella quickly puts her head down on her desk as she mutters silently. why does nothing ever go right with me? .. Shortly afterwards, the history teacher walked into the class to teach.

At break time, the students are seen joyfully leaving their classes.

Tina turns to Isabella to apologize. Hey! Sorry about what I said in class earlier today. It wasn't intentional. Isabella answered. I should be the one to apologize. I intentionally didn't want to talk to you. May I ask why? She stared at her curiously. I just don't have good relationship with people. Isabella answered. Oh, I see...…. Tina smiled. I'm not just anyone dear. I'm your seat mate.

Isabella nodded in agreement. Of course you are. You can call me Isabella. She extended her hand for an handshake. Wow. That's a lovely name. Tina answered as she also extended her hand to shake her back. Thanks. said Isabella..... So, do you want to go out with me to have lunch? requested Tina. I will be fine. Thank you. Replied Isabella. Alright. If you say so. Just in case you changed your mind, I will be at the cafeteria. Definitely. answered Isabella as Tina takes her leave.
