Chapter 10-
Dear Izzy,
How are you, I’ve been getting you letters and you seem happy. How’s your Papa? I really miss you. I’m going to a new school now. It’s not that bad. I mean I’m living in the mansion now, you know the one I went to for holidays and stuff. There’s this girl Jade, she’s Uncle Scott and Aunt Jeans daughter, she has been nothing but rude to me. Zaira is cool though. She’s Uncle Logan and Aunt Ororo’s daughter, we hang out a lot. She’s a year younger than me, Jades a year old and thinks she’s smarter, but I might just get moved up another grade. My Uncle Hank said I am really smart. He tells me a lot of stuff about science. Uncle Bobby is funny too. Oh man you know if you were here you would get along with him. We played a trick on uncle Scott just the other day, all his clothes were turned pink! And then his hair was bright purple! Well back to the school. It’s huge! I’m still in the sixth grade but they think I can take advanced classes now. People are a little nicer. They don’t call me Demon or anything, and If they did I’d hit them!
Oh! Guess what, I made the girls basketball team . They said I was really good. I definitely fit in with them. They’re really cool! We play our first game in two weeks. I’ll make sure we video tape it for you! Well Mama’s bugging me to go downstairs to eat so I better cut this off. I probably won’t be able to write anymore tonight, I have homework. Stupid school. Oh I wanted to send you a picture. It’s not one of my best but It’s something
Love,
Desiree
P.S. Miss you Iz, hope to hear from you soon
Dear Doll,
Glad to hear schools better. Really wish I could be there. I’m doing pretty good. I’m playing Rugby now, bit more rough then American football but its fun. Pa, He’s doing good, always looking over his shoulder though, like someone’s watching him. Nervous wreck. He keeps asking me if anything happened at school, every single day. And the answer is still no. I think he thinks that I’m gotta be a mutant like him. I hope I do, it’d be cool. I hope I get cool powers, maybe something like your Pa’s, cause stuff to explode. I miss ya Doll, I can just see your smile. I bet your making lots of friends now. I really wish I was there, Oz isn’t the same anymore, and everyone’s commenting on how I sound Yank. I’m always telling them that they should hear you, although you aren’t a yank, you’re a Rebel.
Your beautiful Doll. I love the picture, I’ll give you one of me, just so you can look at my sexy body everyday. Oh ya! I have a new e-mail it’s should get one too! And then we can talk more I’m sure Hank can get ya set up on the computer! Well I miss ya! I gotta game tonight, I’ll get Pa to tape it, and I’ll send it to ya, then we can watch each other. Well Pa’ is calling me.
Love,
Izzy
P.S. You shouldn’t grin like that, I know you are.
P.S.S Didn’t I tell you to stop that?
P.S.S.S DOLL! Your not listening! Love ya
Dear Izzy,
Two years. That’s how long it’s been since we’ve seen each other. I know we write and everything, but it isn’t the same. I remember when you’d sneak out in the middle of the night during storms to come see me. Mama and Papa freaked when they found out, they thought you were some weirdo. That was kinda funny. I’m glad to hear that your doing good. And I bet your girlfriend is real nice. I’m twelve now, 8th grade year too. I wish you were here. They started being rude again. I don’t know what I did. One day they’re all really nice to me and then it’s different the next dat. I got kicked off the team and I don’t know why. Papa is trying to help me get back on but no luck so far. Sometimes I wish, I just wish I wasn’t me. Why do I have to be the outcast all the time. Sometimes I just want to quit. Actually I want to all the time, but I don’t because I know it will do me good. Hopefully.
Love,
Desiree
Dear Doll,
Ya, I remember. I wish that day never happened, well some of it at least. That was when we first kissed. Never want to forget that. I tell you this now but I was so damn nervous. I thought you would freak out because we’re such good friends, but you didn’t. And then we were separated. I hate it still. I hate it so much. I want to come back to the states, I really do. As for my sheila, she’s cool. Bossy but cool. She’s blonde. She acts like it too. Also she gets mad when I talk about you, but it just slips. Her names Nicola. Nicky for short. I don’t know if we’ll last. Pa’ doesn’t like her, doesn’t even let her in the house, and when I’m not home he doesn’t pick up the phone. Don’t blame him though really. Every time she’s over she talks about mutants in America. Pa kicks her out if he hears her. Doll, I miss you, If I weren’t here right now I would be with you. Nobody else.
Love,
Izzy
Dear Izzy!
Two weeks until I turn 16 can you believe it. We’re throwing this HUGE party at the mansion and everyone is being invited. Oh man I wish you could come. Its going to be great. Can you try and talk your Papa into coming. It’d be awesome if you could come, No party of mine has been the same since we were separated. I miss you so much! I know we talk and write but it still isn’t the same. When we were together we were always laughing and kidding around. Papa said that I was always laughing. I think he told me that because I’m not the same anymore. I don’t think I’ve changed but you know how people are. Please ask your Papa if you can come in two weeks. Pretty Please!
Love Always,
Desiree
Desiree came home from school everyday waiting for a letter from her best friend. And every day she would walk in with the same saddened face and go up to her room. It was two days before her birthday, and she still hadn’t heard from Izzy. She was disappointed, very, and hurt. She thought that he could have called or written back or something. She sat up in her room at her desk doing her homework that night. Her thoughts weren’t focused though.
Another day passed and she still wasn’t receiving anything. She wasn’t talking to anyone now. Her friends tried to cheer her up, but nothing worked.
“Come one we have to try and get Izzy here..” Zaira Howlett told the small group of girls. “Have you ever seen Desiree this down? I mean come one, her 16th birthday is tomorrow”
“Who cares” Jade Summers said.
“Well there are others besides you Summers” Cassie Wisdom snapped. “I think Z is right, I mean she’s our friend and she’s had it tough since before she even moved here, I think her seeing this guy Izzy will help, she’s always talking about him and stuff.
“No need” Angela Worthington said. “I heard Mr. LeBeau talking to Mr. Summers. They’ve arranged it, he’s on his way right now” She says smiling. “And better yet he isn’t going back”
“You kidding?” Renee Drake spoke up. “How did you get all of this..”
“I am a partial telepath, I couldn’t get into Mr. LeBeau’s head but Mr. Summers was not too hard”
“you’re a genius Angie!” Cassie said and hugged her friend. “Now where is the surprise going to take place?”
“He’s enrolling as a senior at our High school, and we all know Des is a graduating Junior because she busied herself through the summer”
Next day the whole group was waiting at the bus stop. Not to surprising that their stop was the largest. Half of the kids were in High school, gratefully, a few were graduating.
“Happy Birthday Desi!” Cassie said and gave her a bear hug. “Oh come on girl, don’t look so glum!”
“Merci Cas” Desi says with a small smile. The bus arrived and they all filed on, taking the seats in the back, the ones that they had claimed at the beginning of the year, Nobody argued.
The day was going smoothly. Desiree’s classes seemed to go by as quick as they could. “Hey LeBeau” a boy yelled from across the hallway. Desi turned around. “Heard it was your birthday”
“Oui” she answers.
“You know what we do to freaks…”
“Why don’t you leave her alone asshole” Cassie says coming up next to Desiree.
“Or what?”
“You have us to deal with” Angie said coming up with her twin brother Angelo and Cassie’s older brother Jett.
“Ya I’m scared of you” The guys says rolling his eyes.
“Yer not messin with Doll are you?”
“Who the hell are you” By this time Desiree was looking up, her eyes wide in shock and her mouth dropped open. She dropped her book.
“Izzy!” She yelled and practically tackled him with a hug. “Oh meh gawd! Y’r realleh here” She says hugging him. Izzy looked down smiling, the same grin he had always had. He now stood at 6’2, seven inches taller then Desiree, and probably would always be that much taller. “Y’r realleh here”
“Course I am Doll, ya think Izzy would miss yer sweet 16”
“Y’ didn’ write…y’ didn’ write Isaac!” She says “Why didn’ y’ call an’ tell meh? Huh ah’ve been waitin and waitin…” she was suddenly cut off when he leaned down and kissed her.
“Been wantin’ to do that for years Doll”
“Which one shut her up or kiss her?” Renee asked with a laugh. “So your Izzy, we’ve heard a lot about you, bet we know you better then you know yourself” She laughs. “I’m Renee Drake”
“G’day” He says. “Yer all friends of Doll?”
“Yep, sure am” Angela says smiling. “This is what you were hiding from us Des, wow” she whistles. “You have any brothers?”
“Naye sheila, only child” he laughs.
“Cousins..” she pauses as he shakes his head. “Damn” she mumbles.
“Ah still can’t believe Y’r here”
“Well believe it Doll…I’m not leavin’…” Desiree’s mouth dropped open again. “Ya ok?”
“Am, ah ok?!” she exclaims and receives several stares from everyone in the hallway. “Izzy, this is da best gift anyone could ever give meh”
“Well better take my present back” Cassie and Renee both mumbled together.
