Invisible string

Promise

4 months later...

The last period of the day Isabella had was P.E and the class had just finished doing yoga and were walking back to the locker rooms to change when the teacher announced "Your assignment for this term is the baby project. The babies will cry and act like real babies, it is you and your partner's responsibility to treat them accordingly which you will be scored on.  This is the last assignment as you know the class will end for basketball training." Steve and Isabella look at each other and wink both knowing they would pair up together "Also I have pre-selected your pairs and they are final, absolutely no changing them " he holds up the sheet and gives it to the students to pass around. 

By the time Isabella got the sheet it was only her left in the hall with her teacher packing up the equipment . "Isabella andddd-" her eyes scan the list "Billy Hargrove!?" she let out "Sir. Please don't make me go with him" she begged "Miss Dixon there is no changes" "But sir-" she whined "Miss Dixon this is very unlike you, but I'm sorry no changing" he said firmly and left the hall.

"But Billy Hargrove" she said to herself. Of course the one person she hates she gets paired up with him "What" answered the boy who had just walked out of the locker room "Your my partner" she tells him picking up the baby "Well then I guess I'm passing this class" he says smugly applying she can do it all "No." "No?" he questions her answer "No. Your putting in as much effort as I am in this got it? In fact you can start with the baby" she tells him slamming the baby to his chest  "But-" he tries to protest "No buts ok, your going to take this seriously so we can get an A+ because if we don't Billy I swear to god-" she gets cut off "What you'll smile me to death" he laughs at his own joke "Billy, please" "Fine fine ill take it seriously" he agreed holding the fake baby "Promise?" she asks holding out her pinkie finger "I promise" he replies interlocking his own finger. He starts to walk out "Actually you should start with her and after school Ill take you to your place so you can show me what to do?" she knew she would never be able to bring a boy to her house especially not Billy, she didn't want anybody to know what really goes on behind their closed doors "NO" she bursts out shutting the idea down "Sorry. Can we go to yours? my house isss-"  she trails off thinking of an excuse "Under construction" she finishes "Ok sure meet me in the parking lot?" Billy says "Yea I just have to go give my keys to my sister."

Steve was waiting outside the hall for his friend "Hey, wanna come out with me and Nancy tonight?" he asked as they started walking "Uhm actually I'm going to Billy's house tonight, for this stupid project thing." she tells him, rolling her eyes "Your going to Billy's? Billy Hargrove? Don't you still hate that guy?" Steve asked confused "Yes but I'm not gonna be mean to him, he was only mean because he was new, he has been at the school for a while now. I mean I would rather do this project alone but you heard no changes" "Well if he is a jerk just call me and Ill be over to beat his ass" Steve said ruffling her hair "Aww big old protective Stevie. Ill be fine, he won't be that bad" Lizzy comes over and Isabella lets her know what is going on and that she will be home later "What do I tell mum and dad?" Lizzy asks worried "That I'm out doing my assignment. Its not lying so we cant get in trouble" Isabella says handing her sister the car keys "Do not hurt my precious car." She says walking away towards Billy.
