THE SILENT SCENT

Chapter 1: Yes! Finally!

Finally! Isabella Ann Bernard shouted happily when she finally arrived at the school entrance. She finally arrived at her dream school. At last! Dragging along her big luggage, she slowly climbed the narrow stairs leading to the main area with the main board with clear writing shows the school billboard. When she finally arrive at the end of the stairs, she was greeted by someone,

"Can I help you?"

Isabellaa turned, her eyes wide open,

A 14-year-old boy in a simple T-shirt and only in a short pants greets her in a friendly manner. "Of course!" Delighted by the sudden help. "Hurmm actually I'm heading to the principal office room. Can you show me the way? Please? " Plead Isabella in hoping that the boy will help her. She quickly strengthened her messy long skirt that she wear along the journey to the school and fix her messy big black sun glasses. Baffled. Waiting for the answer from the boy.

"Okay, come. I'll show you. Just put aside the luggage,

I'll bring it later. Come" Isabella delighted with excitement. She keep watching and then follow the steps of the courteous boy.

They finally arrive at the outside of the principal office room. The boy suddenly put his finger at the automatic bell system that located at the front door. After hearing the 'beep' sound, there came out a woman in early forty from the room asking,

"Yes Luke? Asking the woman to the boy and her eye turn into Isabella. She was stunned by the exquisite look that Isabella has. Her white skin with curly brown hair and thin lips quite perfect for her.

Uncomfortable with the stare, Isabella break the silence asking for Principal Ben.

~

In the office after welcome by the principal, Isabella listen carefully with the briefing by principal Ben, explaining the school vision in every student success, creating the best hospitality and cultivating leadership role to the others. Amazed, Isabella nodded and agreed with the facts.

"Okay, with that I'm very pleased to have you here. Welcome to this school!"

"Thank you, thanks!" Isabella delighted. Her jubilant feeling makes her quite emotional. This is the school! This is her dream! She promised herself that this is the only place to succeed with flying colours. No doubt for sure.

Meanwhile,

"Don't bother the hubris old lady! Hahaha she just envious by your exquisite look!" Replied Luke as they pass by and finally arrive at the hostel room entrance.

"Thank you!"

"Dont mention it! Farewell!" They both wish goodbye at each other and to see Luke quite far from distance.

~

Isabella relief after two hours briefing from the principal, Mr. .Ben. She finally at her comfortable bed in her hostel room. It was indeed a luxury hostel equipped with the most urban style with fancy wardrobe. After meet and greet with her new housemates, she slam her body at the fluffy bed. "Thanks mom and dad! This is for both of you!" Isabella whispered slowly, she held tight closely her essential family photo in her arm. Her eyes burst into tears, endless longing for her family. After some time, lying on the bed her lacuna mind and soul came to the shadow of her horrendous experience in primary school rolling to her eye. The image of figures that haunt her for years play in front her. A blast from the past rolled once again.

"Hey! The ugly face!"

"Ugly duck!"

"Four eye girl!"

A bitter memories that she need to swallowed. That is true, her hideous appearance always mock by the other students. She always be their target. You name it! All the bad memories she had been through caused and led by the DEVIL, the only boy called CALEB! That is the boy who traumatized her for years! He always make her as his slave and always make her do silly things. Her tears is his satisfaction he said. She really hate that guy! So cruel and very annoying! That only one incident happen, makes his mouth shut and embarrassed! His faced turn red and felt like crying but he held back his ego. Isabella yelled at him as the act is the price to pay for all the act that he had done to her. That act embark from his cruelness act towards her. In front of her class, she promised herself that she will never meet him again! Period! And that is the last time she saw the boy.

Coming back to reality, Isabella wiped her tears that slowly flow down to her cheek. Her heavy heart bring back the horrific nostalgia. Tired and exhaustipated, her eyes slowly close. She fall into a deep sleep. Tomorrow is a new day for her. Little that she knows tomorrow will makes her life miserable. Totally!

Chapter 2: Meeting The Devil!

Walking along to the school with Lily, her new roommates she met earlier yesterday, chit-chatting about variant topics, Lily explain new information about the school, the board, stakeholders that simply hold the greatest share of the school. The old clerk who fall for the married principal for years, the busybody cleaners and the bossy and bully cheerleaders.

"Hahahaha it's too cliché for me because it is a typical type for a high-school right!" replied Amanda laughing. Something funny hearing about Lily statement.

"You just wait and see. When you met Sarah and her team! That bastard! I really hate her!" her nemesism feeling dominate her. Someone name Sarah really bother her .Isabella try to nullify Lily anger.

"Sorry for that! Hahaha quite emotional right here!" After Lily starts to cool down, she notify Isabella with a warning note.

"I almost forgot to mention you about something. The Wolf Gang of this school. Caleb, Jared, Lucas, Tyler and Shane. The boys is the school idols! Such a phenomena! They came from a silver spoon family. They were all participate in our school basketball team and Caleb is the captain! They were all in my list! Haha. Every girl in this school stunned by their persona. Their family and Caleb father hold the biggest share in this school. That is why the principal overlooked some of their silly pranks and problem caused from the gang. Caleb is a huge manga fan either. His family mansion provide a special room only for manga comics and arcade. There were millions of them! Tremendously great!

Isabella glance at her, she down founded for a moment. The name Caleb seems to be familiar with her. Click! Suddenly, a cold chill crept up her spine, for some reason a pass by images that she hold a grudge for years came in to her mind. It is the same Caleb? What if it is true? Oh man! What should I do? Her curiosity dominates her.

Her assumption with question with no answer.

"Bella! Bella!" Shouted Lily who see the mackle expression came from Isabella

"Yes!" "Yes!" Sorry"

"Your class is right at the corner. Your teacher is Miss Lina. Adios!"

Isabella walked slowly to the front door of the classroom. She sneaked a peek at the glass door. The class vicinity quite amazed her. Packed with variant of students. You named it! The nerdy one, sleepy one, IT guy, team player, troublemakers, drama queen and the bullies. Interesting she thought. She glanced once again waiting for the arriving of her teacher. At last, she deduced that she will enter the class after the teacher arrive soon. After a moment pass by, finally! Miss Lina her classroom teacher arrive at the scene. Isabella felt relieved.

"You must be Isabella right? I'm Miss Lina your classroom teacher."

"Yes it is!"

"Wait for a moment. I'll will call you later then you will come in. Okay?"

"Understood!"

Isabella stared at her teacher. Her casual looks with red high heels simplify a fashionista of a middle age woman.

After hearing her name is called out, she slowly walked into the classroom. Shivered and nervous, Isabella try to cool down. After a moment, she finally facing toward the entire class.

"Hi, I'm Isabella Ann Bernard. Nice to meet you. If you want to call me Bella. I'm alright with that" greet Isabella with a full smile. But,

Baffled as the class silence. Her eyes staring one by one to all the student in her class. Isabella felt like the world kept silent for a moment.

"May I ask you something?" when suddenly someone in the class asking her.

'Yup. What?"

"Are you lost?"

"No. Why?" Isabella kind of felt like something footle about the question. She believed she hold lemon on her hand.

"Well, you belong in the circus with the clowns there. Not here of course. Not someone like you! Huh!" All the student burst into laughter hearing the sarcasm jokes came from Sarah, the drama queen of the school. Captain of the cheerleader of the school.

"Cut it off!" scolded tone from Miss Lina try to control the situation but it is useful. She felt sorry for Isabella.

Feeling depressed, hopeless and embarrassing as well, Isabella lowered her head and was ready to burst into tears.

"Sorry Miss Lina. I might go to the toilet."

"Okay. Fine" You can enter the class when you are ready."

She rushed herself to the toilet.

While running to the toilet, she bumped into someone but she never looked at the person as well as she need to go to the toilet fast before someone saw her tears.

"BAM!!" she slammed the toilet door shut. She felt melancholic sad.

"Is it the best decision?" she asked herself. She felt nullity at the moment.

"Don't make your hardship and ridicule of others the reason you stop backup. Just remember the reason that you stood up! Don't make such excuses! Grit your teeth, move forward and start living!" suddenly his father advice came across her mind.

~

In the class.

As Miss Lina exit the class.

"Who is she?" Asked Caleb to his friend Ryan, pointing at Isabella who sit alone at the end of the corner of the class.

"Isabella Ann Bernard the new girl. She came today. Sarah make fun of her. Pity. I felt sorry for her".

He nodded. Something about her caught his attention.

"I know her" Caleb silently whispered to his self.

~

"Okay, Today I will announce that our Caleb Johnson is our new school no. one top scorer in the exam and again. I'm impressed! Well done Caleb!" As Mr Ben came into the class and gave the announcement before he left.

Caleb stood up and very pleased with the praised by the teacher and the other students with the thunderous applauses sound surrounded the class.

"Okay. Stay silent as your math teacher is absent today. She is going to deliver her baby." Mr Ben exit the class.

~

Meanwhile,

"You're such a sea change after the primary school we met huh!" Caleb stand beside Isabella chair.

Froze. She turn and give him a poker face toward Caleb. She sit still. She know that she is in a hot water situation right now. She need to keep tacenta. She need to save her breath.

Caleb face turned red. Her ignorance is a bliss really irritated him. Suddenly, out of the blue, he pulled Isabella skirt showing her white skin leg. Everyone in the class were shock and cheering in amazement. He was stunned to see her white skin. Isabella remained silent in anger. She just knows that she need to do something fast. She suddenly stand up and walked slowly to the bin that contain washing water used to mop the class floor. Everyone is stunned and waiting for Isabella action what to do next. She walked slowly to Caleb and pull the bin to the top of Caleb head. She pour the smelly water to Caleb. He is wet and smelly of course. Everyone is shocked by Isabella action. They couldn't believe their eye and knowing that Isabella is in a hot water right now. Don't mess with the King!

"You're not the salt of the earth to me!" "I'm satisfied when I slapped your face back in our primary school. You are such a yellow-bellied person!" .Yelled Isabella to Caleb who is in a kneeled down position and feel embarrassed by what just had happened. He hold his fist and furious right now. He get his grief to his self.

"You can keep in a whale of a time for today but prepared for tomorrow!" warn Caleb with a full rage. Isabella walked away. She is satisfied.

~

"You fool!" Everyone know what you did to the King today even the cleaners and staff in the cafeteria!

They bragged about no one mess with the king until now. "

"Served him right! I slapped him once!" Isabella proud as a peacock for a moment.

"Nnnnoooo!' Lily don't believe such an innocent girl like Bella would dare to do that.

"Yup! He transferred to other school for that for sure. So, what do you have in mind in what to do next?" asked Isabella asking for her advice.

"Just prepare what to next you say. Did you used to play hide and seek?"

Chapter 3 : The Wolf Hide and Seek!

Isabella walked to her school today alone. Lily is absent today for a purpose.

Not only just Lily, but all the other students and the staff as well in the school today. They need to let Isabella alone in the school today for the punishment set by the King and his team the Wolf Hunter.

As Isabella enter the school building, all the doors and windows is automatically shut. She know something fishy about to happen. To run away now she think she is at the eleventh hour right now. She felt collywobbles and down founded right now. Suddenly, she remembered the word hide and seek from Lily came across her mind. She stunned and when,

"Isabella Ann Bernard! You are in the middle of a game right now! The game called Hide and Seek! The rule is simple. When the clock is end by 100. We will start to find you. By the time you will need to find a place to hide! But prepare! Sometimes the things you see in a shadows are more than a shadows. Hahaha! The wolf will hunt their prey!"

That eerie words makes her chill feels down her spine. She need to act fast. She rushed to the stair case and couldn't find anywhere she can to hide. Under the teacher's table, Nah, too easy. She running away like crazy. After a moment, she deduced that she need to hide fast and the final choice is the locker room. The best spot. It is because the locker has nooks and crannies. As when she want to open the locker door, someone grabbed her hand pull over her towards him. Towards his arm. He covered her mouth with his hand.

"Shhhhh. Don't scream. Stay silent or others will hear you. You save with me right here" Say the anonymous.

Somehow his scent of Gucci, the Alchemist Garden fragrance catch her sense. Caleb! She know and recognise that smell as well but why he is helping her? She stupefy for a moment.

"Come. We can hide in our common room. No one will find us there." Direct Caleb persistently. Isabella obeyed without saying a word. They enter the common room silently. Waiting for the game to an end at 5.00 pm. Isabella felt like forever at that moment. At this time she will take the bitter and the sweet. She don't really care.

"Where is Bella? Man! She's fast! Well, but Celeb is missing too!" Where the hell is he?" said Jared harshly. There were a disappointment tone came from Jared. The sunglasses with mid-hair style.

"We're just want to play pranks with her that's all. Hahaha. Don't take it seriously!" laughed Lucas followed by the others. When they reach the outside of the common room.

It was a taradidle for her. Isabella felt tremble and impatient with that situation. She can't wait any longer. Her patience has comes to its limit. It's no fun for her at all seeing the other boys carrying baseball bat with them. She smells a rat. Caleb on the other side try t to nullify her. He said the game will end soon. As the game end you will greet by the other Wolf Hunter team at the entrance. Just be patience.

All of sudden, the fan and the lamp is on. Isabella relief. She waiting for Caleb to tell her what to do next. He gently asked her to follow him to the entrance. She obeyed with no question. At the entrance, she saw all the four boys is waiting for her arrival and Caleb is nowhere to be found! He vanished into thin air! She bewildered.

Jared, Lucas, Tyler and Shane congratulate her winning the game. They were impressed by her. Jared a mid-hair style with shiny black sun glasses ask her for tea. She politely declined the invitation and headed back to her hostel. Tired of what just had happen.

~

Lying at her fluffy bed, Lily sat around her waiting to hear Isabella story.

"I just can say, I'm tired running with no direction. All of sudden a fallen angel help me till the end of the game."

"Who??" Said Lily curiously.

"It's a secret because it was too dark. I can't barely see his face. I'm quite sure he is one of them." Replied Isabella try to cover the secret. "Who are the Wolf Gang anyway? You quite know everything. "Grinned Isabella watching Lily face in a full focus. Waiting for the answer came from her mouth.

"Caleb Johnson is the only child in his family. That is why he always get what he wanted. He drives a luxury car to the school. He is surely a masculine guy and smells good too. He is as well as a mystery guy. No one know what is in his mind. Despite of that he is a perspicuous one!

Jared in the other hand is a matured and a cool guys. He sure as nice as nine pence. Unlike Caleb. Jared is well communicate to others. He also came from a silver spoon family. Lucky Jared. However, everyone knows that Jared is second best after Caleb. That made him furious sometime. Although they were very close friend.

Lucas and Tyler is a twins. They share the same personalities and traits. Although they is mediocre one, they very well in updated dress. Their bad boy persona is very sexy and they really to bunk the system. Such a trouble makers those guy.

Shane on the hand is a silence one. He barely obey of what the other say. His red hair surely is unique to us. He is also a talented musician! We usually came to his gig sometime. We have a whale of time there. They all sure has different traits but they have the same persona and charisma. They sure charming as well. Oh my! It's been a long talk and I'm thirsty right now. Do you want some lemonade? I make those earlier. It's in the fridge."

"Nope. I'm good. Good night then." Isabella sit still and strengthen her purple pyjamas. She lurking out the window to see the darkness vicinity. It is in a light rain out there and the sound of the cricket truly amazed her. The grace cold breeze touch her white soft skin and the wind blowing gently through her curly brown hair. Looking at the sky she realized on how grateful she was and she thanked for that. She fall asleep on the windowsill.

Chapter 4: Dont Give Up!

As the morning sun brings the flowering grace of the supreme, the mild heat from the sun penetrates to her skin, Isabella finally wake up. She give a glance and look at her watch. It was almost 9. She remembered Lily had mentioned her that today is her school Sports Day. She is not interested in taking part in any of the sports. So, she deduced to come late when all the sports had already started.

As she walked slowly to the school, many of the students is walking fast, leaving her behind because they quite a bit rush to take the front spot to see their favourite game. As Isabella has already arrive at the school entrance, the school is packed to the gunwales. She need to walk in to the jam-packed crowd as she is heading to the field where two games were held. Soccer and softball. As she arrive, the game for both of them had been started a minute ago.

Her red team was on the game and Lily participated on the softball game. She quite can't

hit the ball as the pitcher's ball is too fast for her. I think this is her first time but her eyes can't stop from looking at the soccer game as the Wolf Hunter guys was participate in the game including Caleb! She can't stop taking her eyes off him. His persona and charisma is so alluring and captivating for her.

While focusing the soccer game, suddenly there came two girl approaching her. It was her classmates and her team mates as well. They kneeled down, begging and asking for her help. She were asked to replace Lily that had been struggling to hit the ball. At first she refused because she is not confident, but when thinking that she is not the same as she is in her primary school, so, she finally accept the offer. As she stand up confidently holding the bet,

"Keep your face always toward the sunshine, and shadows will fall behind you." As the wise advice from her mother whispered to her ear, she closed her eyes and hear closely the sound of the ball being thrown, smooth and silently, the sound of the ball move felt like a blank world, she felt like she is the only one existed in this world when she see the movement of the ball. Then her soul and mind become one and she hear the ball coming fast towards her. She finally hit the ball and she open her eyes, everyone gather around and shouting at her and told her to run.

"Bella! Run! Run!" Bella quickly turn her head on the game and stand up and finally run to all base as fast as she could. The crowd of her team mates were overjoy and delighted as she run through all plates and finally reaching the home plate and winning the game. Everyone gather around her and give her a roar of applauses and congratulating her. She couldn't believe when her eyes move to Caleb who are standing still behind the crowd and nodded his head while giving her a warm and charming smile. He always find a way into her heart. The way he looked at her make her heart melt. She felt like in the cloud nine.

~

She was sitting alone and the bench when everyone already left the field. She nonstop from holding her shoes. Her feet actually hurt and she can't barely walk. She was extremely in pain when she touched her feet. All of sudden, someone approach her and ask her what is going on.

"Urmm, nothing actually. I'm just resting my feet. That's all." As she turn her head up, she realize that Caleb is standing in front of her with a first aid kit with him.

"Don't lie, after the soccer game end I quickly watch softball. The minute you walked to the game I realise your feet hurt and I'll watch your stumbling walks due to your injured foot." Talk Caleb as he kneeled down and gently pull out Bella's sneakers exposing her feet that covered with blood. When Caleb wipe her blood with alcohol free cleansing wipes, she gave a little scream. Her sudden reaction raise him a smile and laugh.

"Don't act like a crying baby. You're not kid anymore. It's just a little injury. Why do you push yourself wearing the shoes that don't fix yours? "As Caleb speak with an angry tone as he quickly stand-up after finish plastering Bella's wounded feet.

"Sorry but hanks! No one will recognize and notice after all. Hahaha!"Laugh Bella realizing the reality.

"It's okay! I'm carefully watching you! You can holding on me!" Bella jolted with shock! She didn't believe that word came from his mouth. She staring at him while Caleb give him a peace symbol from his hand and a beguiling charming smile. She raise a smile.

She finally walked slowly to her hostel with Caleb accompany her.

"Let's watch the firework together at school mini garden located at top of the school tomorrow." Asked Caleb with a cheerful face.

"Okay! I'll be there. Thanks again. "Replied Bella with a smile. After the tiring and exhausted game, she finally at her bed and lying over at her fluffy mattress, she try to sleep but she was failed to do so. A warmth and cold breeze penetrates her skin, as the chilling wind blowing her curly brown hair, she sat on the open window, thinking and realize now that reality is better than her dreams.

~

It was a perfect shinny day as all the students happily welcoming the guest that entering the school for the festival held today. It is a celebration for the sports day that finally came to an end. Looking at the jam packed crowd, the existence of Caleb and Bella is staring with Sarah's evil's eye by afar. After eavesdropping of what Caleb and Bella had say during in the field, she hold a grudge towards Bella.

Sarah was crowned the female best in sports while Lucas for the male one. After the ceremony ended, they were asked to clean up the mess and cleared all the garbage. When the garbage is clear and the school is clean, Caleb quickly walk toward Bella and grabbed her hand. Running to exit the scene. As they climb up the stairs, they were approach by Sarah and her two cheerleading team with a box full with books. Sarah slowly approach Bella and ask her to place and store the book in the library next building with a smirk smile.

When the box is going to be accepted by Bella, Caleb with anger tone,

"Mind your own business! Why did you're asking someone to do your job? It's your responsibilities right! Sorry we're busy right now! "As Caleb move his face and turn to Bella who is stand still baffled. Sarah and her teammates is in a heavy silent. Sarah then stampered her feet with anger. There were tears flowing down her cheek.

~

The soft wind breeze soft blow through her hair, cold chill touch her skin, the moon dim the light and the star are dancing in the sky, Caleb and Bella running to the schools mini garden. As they arrive, they quickly with holding hands walked at the gate at the corner.

Blooming under a cold moon, there were arising of beautiful colours light, and when it touch the sky, it gives a sparks and shining brightly at the sky. Bella and Caleb was amazed and fascinated by the beguiling charm of exquisite colour of light in the sky. As the fireworks is fading and scattered away, they were light up with another fireworks that even bigger. They were stunned and froze at that moment. They were very delighted and lean on each other that night.

Chapter 5: It is a Perfect Day!

It was a brumous day with grey skies on a winter day, a cold chill crept up her spine. Isabella shivered, frozen. She tightly held her jacket close as she enter the school building. Lily is absent today. She is under the weather yesterday. Poor Lily, she was asleep when Isabella walked out to the hostel door. "I will bring soup for her". Said Isabella to herself.

Isabella learn from Lily that today is Student Day which held the Club Day for all of the students. There were hiking club, chess club, movie club, golf club, archery club and soccer club. It was held at the main hall as the main venue was cancel due to the bad weather. Something at the end corner of the hallway caught her attention. She approach the table closely. It was a traditional dance club who embraces the world tradition.

She is interested by the vision set by the club. "Everybody can dance, it all is need is heart and passions. The understanding of expression and rhythm is what we learn here. It is guide by our celebrity's dancer coach herself. It is all by hard work and various training. I see you has the quality to be a good dancer. I'm impressed by your elegancy and enthusiasm" said one of the team member.

"Okay, I'll signing up to this club. I'm interested!" cheered Isabella finding that her leisure time will be filled with useful work. She's ready!

Meanwhile,

"Okay I want to inform you, this year we will be participating as one of the team that will be perform in dancing festival in Japan! We will be trained by the coach that is specially brought from Japan. The training session will started at the end of February this year.

I hope you will burnt inside out for that. Thank you." Said the head coach as her eyes couldn't stop from staring Isabella.

"I will make you famous!" whispered her silently as she passed in front of Isabella with a gentle smile.

~

Isabella headed toward a tiny white gazebo in the garden surrounded by dangling orchids. She sat there alone and petrified by the beauty scenery. She open her jacket and put aside her belonging. Her soul blossom with the scenery of the orchid's blushing purple and pink and the orchid's petal felt like butterfly flapping its wings. Her heart dancing with joy. She was stunned by the beguiling charm of the enchanting scenery. Her latibule place is here.

She fill the force of nature that penetrates her skin spin the world as the magic sinks in. She was fascinated. Lying there with her folded arm, she spend her time there that day. Lullaby rhythm enchanted her and she finally fell asleep.

In the vagueness of her eye, she barely see that someone had come closely and bring a comfortable blanket for her. Subconsciously, she only could wish thanks to the anonymous and continue to sleep.

~

As the sun rises and the morning with apricot sky shade with a flames in it and then turn into a solemn pink, she awaken by the sun rise and she touch her hands with her mouth, she stifled a yawn as she was afraid someone will saw her. She get up, finalized her things and rushed back to the hostel.

Dear diary,

Today was a hectic day but end up I am as grateful and happy as I sign myself up to be a dancer. I promised that I would probably the best dancer in a whole world! Yeayyy to me!! You know what, Mr Diary, today I found a place with beguiling charm with blushing orchids there. Let's always go there and cleared our mind from hustle bustle day. Forgot to mention, there is someone who give me a nice blanket while I'm asleep last night. Let's called him Mr Teddy.

Farewell Mr Diary.

Isabella walked through the door to a living room where she approach Lily that already waiting her at the dining table.

"Do you recover your cold already? I'm worried about you Lily". Replied Isabella touching Lily forehead curious about her.

"I'm okay, its okay. Oh! I'm totally forgot, where have you been last night? Are you okay? I see you has a sleepy eyes. Whose blanket that you holding?" asked Lily curiously. Nahh! I don't really know. Someone had me covered while I'm asleep last night at the gazebo." Isabella replied.

"Bella has a secret admirer! Someone has a crush on you!" Wow! "Shouted Lily cheerfully.

"Shhhh. be quiet, this is only between me and you. Our secret. I will let you know if I get the answer who is this anonymous guy is. Okay! Let's eat, I'm starving!" Isabella pull a chair and sit carefully. They have breakfast together.

~

Isabella walked through the classroom door. She sneak a peek at the glass door worrying if someone inside the class. She doesn't anyone to see her in the class early in the morning. So, she ahead of time. She was relief to see no one to be seen. She open the door and walked slowly to the end of the table and has a seat. She open her sketchbook and begin to sketch and draw manga cartoon. This was what actually Isabella passion besides dancing, she love to sketch and draw during her spare time.

While focusing on her drawing, she was not aware on the presence of her other classmates,

Sarah quickly grab her sketchbook and mockingly look at Bella's drawing.

"Hahaha! Terrible drawing! What is this?? Seems like rubbish to me!!Hahaha!" laughed Sarah as she begin to tear apart Bella's drawing book

"Leave her alone!! You stupid fool!" furious Jared as he quickly grabbed back Bella's sketchbook and give back to Isabella.

"Don't care of her footle talks. She surely has a tiny brains! Everyone here just envy on your exquisite look." Said Jared as he take Bella to her seat.

"By the way, I'm Jared Griffin. We had no chance to get to know each other, right I know you Isabella Ann Bernard. How about we have a teatime together after school?? Asked Jared hoping if later that Isabella will fall for him.

Momentarily stunned by the good look and persona from Jared, Isabella heart beat as fast as it was running and she felt a butterfly in her stomach that release into the air.

"Okay!" short.

Meanwhile, behind the open door, Caleb looked closely with a silly grin on his face.

~

"Okay everyone! I was asked by Principal Ben to end up short my lectures today and continue on the selection for the position for our trip to Japan in early March this year. So guys you have to select the name properly as they will be the one who is responsible for all the stuff regarding this event. So, we will start with director position of the event. So, any suggestion everyone?" asked Miss Fiona staring at her people of her class.

"How about we chose the King! Everyone agree??" said Lucas cheerily as he stand up.

Yeahh!!!The crowd roars its approval and the class surrounded by thundering of applauses.

"Okay, the director is selected. Caleb you can come forward. So you can choose your assistant as he or she will work closely with you starting today. Who will you choose?" asked Miss Fiona as Caleb will choose randomly his assistant.

Sarah quickly raise her hand in hoping that Caleb will chose her. Since her first grade in her high school, she had a crush toward him, but Caleb turns her down.

Caleb finger point toward Isabella, who is in reverie. She stupefy for a moment. Lucas stand up and bring Isabella who is in stunned reaction to the front of her class. They receive raptors of applauses and standing ovation by the class. Isabella cheek red blushed with embarrassment while Sarah furious and couldn't believe her eye. Why Caleb choose her? Why is she special to him? "Okay then, I must find out the truth!" Sarah mumble as she hold her fist angrily.

Chapter 6: Hello! Mr Nice Guy!

Isabella has arrive since 8.45 pm at the meeting room. Her heart in mouth as this is her first meeting. She felt like more by accident than design as well. She deduced to just wait patiently for the arrival of her team. Until the cows come home, finally Sarah, Caleb and the other team arrive. After all of the other team take a seat,

"We will start at 9.00 pm sharp! Every one of you here need to be prepared on what to say tonight. Sarah as you volunteered yourself to be the secretary, you need to prepare the minute meeting, so stay focus. Okay, it's almost 9.00 pm, so I'll just continue the talk. Hi, everyone I'm Caleb Johnson and your director for the trip to Japan beginning of March this year, so, welcome to all and congrats too. Okay, now we will start with Lucas. You will join Tyler to search the sponsor for our event. Due to the beginning of the year, all the companies is in 'open book' so it is easier for you. Okay, proceed with Shane, you will handle our flight ticket. If possible chose the cheapest one, we don't want to have a skin in the game later. Just to make sure that we don't break the bank. Due to shortage of money, I'll open for any suggestion where we can earn money?" asked Caleb to the others.

Isabella was lying supine on her bed lurking at the dark sky throughout her window.

It is raining but has come to an end, the pleasant dewy petrichor of the post-rain gives her an idyllic setting. She kind of like in a state of Clinomania and she is keen to stay in her bed.

Her lacuna mind is trying hard convincing on her true feeling while her heart know it was a lie. His charming smile melt her heart and touch her soul. She finally gently sleep with her whispering gentle and sweet, "Caleb".

After check in in Shinagawa Prince Hotel, Isabella gathered with her team at the hotel lobby waiting for the bus arrival. After 30 minutes, the bus finally arrive. As she was about to enter the bus, her ayes wandering around to see if there were a presence of her classmates but fail.

"Okay! Let's enjoy!!' cheered others and agreed.

"Sorry guys! I'll pass! 'I'll have something to do!" said Caleb as he rushed to the front hotel and finding a cab.

"Where is he going??" asked Lucas the guy with yellowish high fade hair style.

"Nippon Budokan, please!" said Caleb calmly to the taxi driver as he enter in the taxi body.

In the arena, there were lots of people crowded below the stage. In her kimono with her neatly top knot hairstyle, she was waiting for her dance performance turn. She was nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chair. Finally, her turn has come. She walk slowly and gently to the opening door with a spotlight on. She started to dance gracefully with the virtue of the beat of her heart, the pulse from her blood, the rhythm in her mind and the freedom of her expressions express by her gracefully move.

Everyone at the crowd flabbergast by the exquisite look and the elegancy dance move by Isabella and then the other team member join her dancing. The crowd roar with applause and they start to dance together with the rhythm of .the music. It takes an hour as she finally end her dance move. The event emcee praised her performance. Isabella proud as a peacock. It was a splendid performance as Isabella steal the marsh that night. As she was busy answering the entertainment media questions, her eye caught of the presence of someone she longing to see.

After she had enough answering all the media questions, she excuse herself and walk away from the crowd. Caleb walked slowly approaching Isabella. He slowly take out a bouquet of orchid wrapped with a purple plastics and tied with a red cute ribbon. She pass the flower bouquet to Isabella.

"Orchid!! My favourite!" as the flower bouquet is now in Isabella hand.

"Thanks! But, how do you know my fav…." Isabella stop.

I'm sure my apologies aren't meant to change the past but, I'm sure it sure will change the future, our future. I'm okay if you want to spill the beans about our past".

"Owh! You're so sweet! The ball is in your court, I don't even bother with that!" answered Isabella as they both walk to the hotel lobby and both of them go in a separate way.

Next day, Isabella and all her classmates have their breakfast together in the dining room. After hearing some briefing from their escort teacher, the teacher gave their permissions for others to do their own activity as long as they will back before 12 pm.

Jared, Tyler, Shane and Lucas planning on snowboarding at Appi Kogen but Caleb refused. All of sudden, Sarah grabbed his hand and asking him to accompany her to the movies at the mall nearest.

"You're not my type Sarah! Stay away from me! Get off!" Caleb pulled his hand back and he quickly grab Isabella hands and pull her in his arm and say "She is my girl! No one dare to bully her or you will face me instead! That is a warning to all of you! "

Everyone shock watching the scene. How the innocent girl with big black sunglasses is chose by the King? Has he lost his mind? They disbelief and bewildered.

While Jared look with a full rage as he also has a crush with Isabella and he is planning to confiscate her from Caleb.

"All that moment, I remember all the things that we did, when I close my eye they're seem so small, you're far away, somewhere I can't reach, I didn't say I love you, I didn't say I need you, but believe me I do…. "

Somehow the rhythm from Winter Sonata movies whispered and singing in her ear. Caleb gently hold her hand as they walk along the sky bridge tunnel of acres of Sakura trees with cherry blossom shade of pink and white blooming, breathing out sweet perfumes, beneath Sakura clouds and scented mist, their love sparkling and radiant, shinning beautiful facets of eternal love.

"You took my breath away and I had already forgive you!" slowly Isabella whispered to Caleb ear. Smooth and gentle and finally they start to kiss each other.

The sky has changed from orange to a hundred shade of pink to a dark navy blue, and here I am I'm in love with you.

"Stop it!" someone shouted as he can't take it anymore. Terrified with the ghost story and someone turn on the light. After for an hour in the class, they left eventually from the scene with a question on their mind whether the urban legend is true.

That evening, there were sound of footstep coming toward to the basements. Someone with a photo, a red pen and a spooky little doll with a red dress, long hair and her eye painted black. The girl walked slowly to the white pale locker with number 13 in it with a main purpose, to let her enemy's name on the paper and later place the paper with the victims red pen and the doll she's holding to the locker. She somehow satisfied as learning that the urban legend was indeed true. There were a cynical smile on her face.

"Okay everyone, our step 1 has accomplish! "I'm actually shocked to see that she put your name Bella instead Caleb!" said Lucas disbelief.

"I always thought that she, Sarah always have a grudge against me, but I never thought she will act that far haha!!" Bella give a smirk on her face.

"It's okay. So, tomorrow is the day and everyone knows the plan right?" replied Lucas as he is the main planner for this prank.

"Yes, we know that" Everyone give their full agreement.

"Lily, tomorrow you will need to show your gymnast talent, okay!" Lily nodded her head agreeing Shane statements.

It was the beginning of the summer break, everyone is having their summer vacations, as a red Audi RS6 Avant flew past, speeding along the road,

Inside the car, Sarah sits inside with an anxious and suspicious heart. Everything seems wrong for her. Her heart beat fast and trembling as she finally comes out from the car and walked slowly to basements to see if her wish has come true. After finally in front of the basements, she open the basements door and, she froze, baffled and stunned for a moment, her eyes couldn't believe what she sees. She mumbling to herself. In front of her eyes, a whole body covered with blood and a knife stabbing her chest. Disbelief because that bloody girl is Bella! Isabella Ann Bernard! She is dead!

"Hahahaha!" Sarah giggles and give a wicked laugh with a satisfaction feel. At last, her enemy is dead! Now no one will confiscate Caleb from him!

"Haha..!" her baleful laugh suddenly stop when she hear a dark creepy horror ambient sound coming from the music room. She come out from the basements running to the music room. She sneak a peek at the windows outside, at first she saw nothing but to her surprised, she sees a man wearing a Victorian Classic Halloween costumes and with a big black and high top hat is playing the piano.

After parking the car for a moment, there were two young love bird coming out from the stylish car entering the school entrance, they sure catch the people in the schools eye as they walk in. They also were the talk of the towns and in everyone's lip. Walking around to the centre of the school, they later meet the others, Jared, Tyler, Shane and Lily.

"Did you see Sarah eye?" said Lily.

"She had a big black panda's eyes on her face! Urgh! I bet she is crying her eye's out!" furious Tyler as he was so furious about what she had done to Bella and Caleb.

"She seems going through a lot now because as what I heard last week, she's been warded in a hospital for a week because the school gardener saw her fainted and bring her to the hospital.

"Don't let the cat out of bag, okay because I has another surprise for her. Al of you will see that too. See ya!" as all of them taking their seat in the class, her class teacher Miss Lina comes in.

As their finger quickly touch the screen to play the video, they were shocked as it all turn out to be Sarah's video when she is at the school in the last summer at the school basements. After the video played, all eyes turn to Sarah. All eyes on her. While others are laughing, some of the others give a scornful glance to Sarah. They were all disbelief. While, Isabella, Caleb, Lucas, Tyler, and Shane, they were all be a happy camper with that. All of them also give a grin from ear to ear when see Sarah rushing coming out from the class crying her eyes out.

"A little birdy told me someone already hands on the video to the principal's Ben and Sarah is called by the principal in his office. Tyler, make sure that nobody knows that you're the one who sent those video!" Warn Lucas to Tyler. There were a warning note there.

"Isabella Ann Bernard and Caleb Johnson, both of you will need to go to Principal office now!" the clerk give her announcement through the office microphone.

Caleb and Bella looked at each other and Caleb shrugged his shoulder in ignorance.

They decided to go to principal office together. Holding hand each other's, they straight away heading to the principal office room. As they walk through, they met Luke, the boy which Bella met from the start she entering the school.

"I has a confession to make. Yep! It is true. Those banners, it was me all along. I've had a grudge toward Bella and Caleb. Since her arrival, all eyes on her and in everyone' lip in school. While my popularities had gone little by little. My act towards her is more like in the heat of a moments. To make it even worse, those Wolf Hunter guys seems started to hanging up with her. My world keep silent for a moments as Caleb and her officially couple. I've always have my eye on Caleb since our first grade in high school but he keeps pushing me away! I'm so depressed and hurtful. I don't know what to do!" As Sarah feel blue at that moment and was ready to reduce to tears, she lowered her head and cover her head with her hand. She cry her eyes out and sobbing uncontrollably. After for a moments, Bella comforts her, Sarah starting to cools down.

"Okay. To make long story short, I has a partner in crime who is done the whole things with me. The photo and the banner is all sponsored from him. I'll just give my brain thinking about what to say and put at the banner. All of you might be shock when I say his name." Sarah stop for a moment and finally reveal his name. "It is Jared Griffin!" reveal Sarah with her cynical smile. Their eyes on stalks and their jaws drop as to hear from what Sarah had told before. They were disbelief.

"I'll warn you Sarah! If you keep give lip on Jared like that you'll be in trouble young lady!" said Caleb. He was very furious because he and Jared had known since their kindergarten and become his close friend since.

"Haha! Jared sure seems like an innocent one, but he is a butter wouldn't melt in his mouth. If you want the proof and proving that I'm not a liar. See the video that I had sent to all of you. The proof is in the pudding!" said Sarah confidently.

"You'll need to close your mouth shut. Sealed your mouth! We're in this together, okay! Don't let the cat out of bag. I'll warn you. If you want Caleb is yours and Bella is mine, then, just follow what I said and instruct you to do.!" Jared is in the foam at mouth when finding out that Caleb is with Bella now. As Sarah secretly recorded the conversation as her secret weapon against him if something happen.

"He has stab your back behind all of you and all of you seems biased to me when he is all along be the mastermind and I'm the one get the credit. Urgh!! It is his fault! This is not fair!" Snapped Sarah displeased.

"Principal, if you want to punish me, then punish Jared as well. I don't want to be the victim of the occurrences and he get away with it. You as the principal of this prestigious school, need to be fair and square to the students. If you put the blame on me and punish me alone. Then, I'll be the black ship not only in my family, in this school too. So, the choice is yours." Plead Sarah as she is ready to burst in tears but, she hold on and keep cool.

"Okay, we know the truth then. Thanks Sarah for being brave. As, for Jared, I will inform him later as he is now is under the weather and is absent for almost two weeks now. I'll will let you know if the punishments decisions has been decided later. Okay, now if there is nothing you want to say then you can come back to class.

It is 7.30 in the morning, she stand up and go to the bathroom to refresh herself before having a breakfast with Lily. After finishing their breakfast, they are now walking together to school.

At the school lobby, Bella is truly confused on what she sees at the school area. She is stupefy for a moment. The school area is pack with student who is in management to do something. When some of the students came close toward her, he hand out something like a piece of paper to her. It was a creative and interesting brochure.

"Congratulations Bella! You will be the one who will compete with Sarah for the prom queen! Hooray to you!" cheered the boy. He seems feels delighted today.

"We don't sure for that. By the way where is Caleb and the others? They sure not in my sight today. Where are they?" curious Bella.

"A little birdie told me that they were all having a meeting today. They were all in the student association club and Caleb is the leader. Maybe they were all meetings for the prom night preparations. Okay, I'm heading to my class so you'll do the same too. Bye" wave Lily as she headed to her classroom while Bella doing the same things.

In the class, Bella feels as bored to tears for her. Her lacuna mind is wandering around surrounding the class when finally floating in the thin air. She is flabbergast. A flash back memory from what had happen to her today come across her mind. She never stop thinking about the prom might, the prom queen, the prom king. This things seems troubling her.

"How do I pay for the outfits? How do I suppose to win the prom queen? Who the hell is the prom king??" she keep question to herself. She's been spaced up when finally..

And if you can't be next to me

Your memory is ecstasy
