THIS IS A HERO'S STORY, only, right now, after a long hard day's work at Mary Immaculate, Isabelle's leaning against her car, waiting outside a school called Midtown High. At lunchtime, Izzy had called her driver, an old guy called Ezra, and asked if he could drive her to see one of her friends after school. He said that's cool once she explained where — Izzy isn't allowed to leave New York, after Berlin, but it's fine, because New York is big enough for that to work — and, like that, Izzy's leaning against her car, with a little smile across her face.
She didn't have any time to get changed, but she hopes it'll be fine. She doesn't think she looks terrible. Mary Immaculate have an optional summer uniform, a dress the same plaid as the skirt, with the same pleats and a thick chunk of black fabric around the waist, like a belt. It looks pretty all right, Izzy thinks, but like, that's totally not because she got it tailored, to get a couple inches off. Because she didn't. Like, she absolutely did not do such a thing.
She hears the school bell ring; Izzy's got on her blazer on, still, so she takes her phone out of the pocket. The big doors at the school entrance open wide, one teenager managing to get out earlier than the others. It takes her a minute to realise, oh, wait, that's my friend! But, when she does, she texts Peter: On ur left ;-)
He gets out his phone, and he frowns. When he looks towards her, a smile spreads across his face. This is so cute. Her diary's gonna have a field day when she tells it this. And, like, Nate and Riley too... Well, Riley. Nate's too suspicious. He thinks Peter's a fully-fledged gold digger, which realistically doesn't make sense, but whatever.
"Surprise!" says Izzy when he's closer. She steps forwards to give him a hug, and Peter's smiling at her still, looking super surprised.
