Chapter 7 - The Aura of Light

Isabella's mum is at the dinning room setting up the table for breakfast. She screams aloud Isabella's name who's still fast asleep on bed..... Isabella! Isabella! ….. love, your breakfast is ready! You need to get ready for school or you're going to be late! Isabella is struggling to get up from bed as she yawns tiredly..... Ok, mum! I will be right there in a few minutes! Oh mine, I feel so sleepy..... She sluggishly gets up from bed as she heads to the bathroom.... Some minutes later, she's back from the bathroom as she quickly dresses up as she prepares for school. She takes her school back and hurried downstairs to the dinning room to have breakfast. Good morning mum... She kisses her on the cheek. Rose smiled. How was your night sweetie? It was horrible mum..... she frowns still looking tired. I wish I could just go back to sleep.....You know you have to go to school. This is the only reason i accepted your father's request by allowing you take over his position temporary as a guardian.

Isabella stares hungrily at the food on the table. What's up for breakfast?

Hamburger and a cup of tea. Answered Rose with a smile. Your favorite.

Isabella smiled as she started to munch on the food with delight. Thanks mum. Rose touches her daughter cheek. Oh dear, you look so pale and stressed out. I hope I made the right choice by allowing you to be a substitute in place of your dad........ I will be fine mum. Replied she. Dad told me he's going to be away for a short period of time. He will be back before you know it and i will return to my normal boring life.....

Rose smiles. I guess it's all for the best..... Now hurry or else, you will be late for school. Isabella quickly stood up from her sit after she was done eating and hurried out of the apartment. Bye mum!..... Bye love! Replied Rose.

Isabella is now at the School Cafeteria happily munching on her food as John approaches her with a tray of sausages and drinks. Hey pretty! Can I join you? asked John..... Suit yourself. she replied. John takes a seat next to her. You seem not to be in a good mood today? Did something happen?..... He tries to touch her face but Isabella quickly pulls away. What are you doing? John stared at her with a look of concern. Are you sure you're fine? Your eyes look so pale? Have you even been having a lot of sleep lately?..... It's none of your business. she answered trying to end the conversation. John unyielding. I know it's not but I seriously think you should get enough sleep…. he jokes. Your eyes looks like they're going to come plucking out of your face. Isabella panics as she touches her eyes.... My eyes! Oh, no! is it really that obvious!

John teases her further..... Of course it is.... it's really bad you may actually need to see the doctor..... Oh, no! what should I do? What if I really lose my eyes?! I'm going to look pretty miserable for the rest of my life. She continues to panic. John burst into an uncontrollable laughter. Hahahaha!!!! Come on, I was just teasing you! This is so hilarious….. Hahahaha!!! I can't believe you will react to what I just said. Isabella feels upset. Weirdo.... Look, you're going to do more than just trying to get my attention loser!

John smiles calmly. Ok. What if I try to do this then? He leans closer as he tries to kiss her but Isabella quickly pulls away. You're such a jerk! ... she exclaimed angrily, quickly stood up and left the cafeteria without finishing are food. John signs. Why not try to be polite for once? ... She seems to freak out over every little thing i do. He smiled..... but i still find her cute.
