1 It's just Isabella

New York.. Another boring day

' Wake up.. Wake up.. It's a brand new day..'

A young girl grunted and woke up with a pout. She looked at her smart phone as if it's her greatest enemy on earth.

She quickly switched off the alarm and covered herself in the sheets while hugging the medium sized teddy tightly.

But, her peaceful sleep did not last long as her human alarm started to shout outside her door.

" Isabella.." though she heard, she did not respond..

" Isabella.." she ignored the voice.

" Isabella.. get up you lazy bones.."

" It's Sunday.. let me sleep peacefully today.." Isabella mumbled in her sleep.

" Isabella.. today is the day of your part-time job search.." a tired voice answered her. In an instant all her sleep left her body and she sat up straight on the bed.

Isabella rubbed her eyes and froze on the spot. How dare he call me by my name..

" Eric.." Isabella shouted.

Outside the door, a young boy in his teens smirked on hearing her angry voice. He was waiting to hear her agitated voice. It sounded like a blessing to him.. He clearly considered as a omen of good luck.. So, he happily went into his room with a feeling of accomplishment.

" You damned brat.. how dare you call your big sis by name." Isabella is really angry at her younger brother. How dare he disrespect her..

But, her anger faded away as she looked at the time. It's 7:00 AM and her brother woke up so early just to wake her up from sleep. So, what if he angered her.. She excused him for his behaviour and hurried into the bathroom to get ready.

Isabella hurried her bath and changed into a set of three-fourth blue jeans with a full sleeved red top. She then dried her hair and held it in place with the help of a single clutch.

She looked at her reflection in the mirror. The mirror reflected a 18 year old young girl with enchanting almond shaped grey eyes with long eyelashes and curved eyebrows. She had a perfectly shaped nose and well sculpted face with high cheekbones.

Isabella is of 5feet 6inches in height with a body that is neither thin or fat with right amount of fat. She looked pretty and her body can be said as perfect for a hug type.

Isabella's only makeup is a plain lip balm that is colorless.. After making sure that she looked fine, Isabella grabbed her backpack and threw it onto the single piece second hand sofa in the living room.

She then hurried into the kitchen and heated up the instant cup noodles and finished it with a cup of milk. She then grabbed her back pack while looking around for her sneakers.

" Eric.. I'm leaving dude.. Just be satisfied with instant noodles for today" Isabella shouted while wearing her red sneakers.

" Alright.. take care.. don't wander around if you are rejected.. come home early.." Eric advised her from his room.

" Fine.. Bye-bye" Isabella smirked at his concern and left her apartment with renewed energy.

Isabella took her bicycle and rode towards the first address she marked in the newspaper.

Then she faced the most common question which she hated to the depth of her bones.

" Isabella? No surname.." the manager looked at her.

Isabella forced her most polite and decent smile before replying " Yes sir, it's just Isabella. I am an orphan and I don't know who my parents are."

The manager sighed and observed her. She looked like a decent girl. But, he didn't feel like giving a job to those with an unknown family background. So, he apologized " I am sorry.."

Isabella interrupted him as she was faced with these remarks constantly and she was sort of used to hear these replies.. So, she nonchalantly replied " I know.." before leaving the shop.

' A bad beginning' she sighed while striking off the first name in her list. She then encouraged herself with a smile and rode towards the next address.
