~Planning ahead is just a way of thinking you have you're life under control, it is not the way you build it~
Isla, a 18 year-old girl, has to leave her friends and family to attend her dream college in New York. But when the excitement of getting t...
As I stare at my sister kissing my crush a piece of my heart darkens. Of course she doesn't know who he is, and he thinks that that's me!! OMG. But I have to do something. Maybe without letting them notice me as I am.... well I... can't find my shirt.
"Oh... hi... Isla?" Summer says turning slowly until both their eyes meet my chest. Crap! Things can't get worse.
"You are... you are ... Isla? What the hell is going on here?" says Noah finally noticing who he had been kissing this whole time.
"Noah this is my twin sister Summer, Summer this is my.... acting friend Noah" I say and in that same instant a little part of me wanted to say "my boyfriend". But what is wrong with me!! I literally bailed on him, then he kissed my sister and now I'm being jealous??
"Yeah.." says my sister in a romantic tone. "We've already met" and puts her lips on his.
I can't watch this!
"So Isla, do you need to put on your shirt or something?" says Summer in an ironic smile.
"Well, actually I can't find it. And now we're stuck in here!"
"I am actually happy being here! Now we can get whatever we want!" and as my sister floats from one room to another Noah approaches next to me.
"What are you doing you jerk! Hand me a t-shirt" and as he hands me one he adds: "Look, Isla I know that you are upset but I really thought it was you and.."
"So you were trying to kiss me! After I specifically told you I am not into you".
"I know you are! And I am too. We are perfect together". He grabs my hand, and as soon as his skin touches mine I feel like all this big mistake of grabbing the wrong plane disappears completely. Like if this whole thing that had just happened was meant to be.
"Well, if you really love me you would have known who I am. And of course you don't.."
"Hey! I've known you for only two days now... or three. I want to know you more.
My sister comes out of the dressing room carrying a big amount of clothes.
"So, I thought that if we have to spend the rest of the night here, we have to take advantage of this. Isla.. you can tell me what's going on. Why did you call me here" and in that moment I knew the best thing to do was to tell everything that happened. From the day I left till now. And it was actually good. It was like a part of myself I've been carrying this whole time is now gone. Far away from who I am now.
"Wow... I mean that is real stuff you've got here hon'" says Summer.
"But why didn't you take another plane to New York instead of coming here, staying in this college and knowing all of this is a mistake?"
"Well.. I don't know. It's like the most little part of me wanted to stay. And all this things happened one over the other and it just felt the right thing to do".
"But how did you manage to enter in this college. I mean, how did they accept you?"
"They had my name, and my photo..." "Well that's strange. How could they know you were going to be here?"
"I have no idea, but this surely feels as a sign! I've always loved acting but I never seen this as my future carrier!"
"Well, if that's what you want I won't tell mom! You have to do what it feels right and of course she'll freak out! I'm here for you sis.." and in that same instant the kiss didn't matter anymore. I had the person I loved most: Summer.
"That is not fair! I am your bigger sister for 20 seconds. I should be staking care of you not the reverse!" she smiles and through her teeth I know she is worried too.
12 hours later
"What is going on here?" I open my eyes and realize I had been sleeping on the mall floor.
"I'm sorry I..." I couldn't say more because the hottest man I had ever seen stranded in front of me. His hazelnut hair floated in the wind that came out of the door. His blue eyes were so deep I almost felt I could drown in them. A tight shirt portaged his muscular chest and his strong arms. His smile was so bright it could bring the sun in this rainy day.
"I'm sorry police officer we were stuck in here all night" says Summer.
"Okay... well get out of here" and as he says that he can't take his eyes off me. His eye balls scroll from my lips to my legs. An electric wave seems to come out from his eyes like lasers.
"Isla! Let's go! We'll be late for todays lessons" says Noah and fortunately with that phrase I can step into the real world and face another problem: what are we going to tell the college?
In that moment I began thinking about a list of things to do before I can be to New York.
"Wait. Are you leaving then? Didn't you want stay here?" says Summer and in her limpid blue eyes I can see she is worried, se always feels this way when I have a problem.
"I... I don't know. I mean, I was supposed to be in New York. I thought that was my dream. But now London comes along I don't know what to choose. I mean, I love New York but London is so handsome.." I sigh.
"I don't think we are talking about cities anymore... Is that police man your "London"?"
"Okay, you got me. He is and he is so handsome... OMG!!!"
"What is it Isla? What happened? What have you realized?" and as those words come out of my twin sisters mouth I feel like I'm living a telenovela.
"I'm in a love triangle!!!"
3 hours later (in my room)
"Okay so you'll be staying here" I say to Summer putting her luggage in a bed next to mine.
"But no one has to know you're here or I'll get in trouble."
"Are you sure you don't want me to leave or go and stay in a motel. I heard there is one here next to the Eye of London ..."
"No. Please stay here. At least until I choose what to do. Twin swear?"
"Twin swear, for life" and as our pinkies touch each each other I knew she was the only one I could rely on and who would never let me down.
