A Little Time Ago

A little time ago, there was a girl named Isabella. She was kind, caring, clever, smart, had common sense, reddish long locks, bright green eyes, and everything a girl needs to survive life. Everything was great until the fight. Isabella and her twin Jessica watched as their parents fought and fought and fought. They were arguing about everything. Who paid for gas, who looked after the twins, everything. So after about a week they spilt up. Then, sadly, Isabella’s mom died of a disease. It was so sad that Isabella cried every night. It was MAJOR news.

In Los Angeles,13 YEARS LATER

“Dad! Who are these people in our house?” Isabella screamed so hard her lungs hurt.

“This is your new mother. You know how you have always wanted a mother, well here she is!” Isabella’s father, Jack said.

“WHAT??????!!!!!!!! A stepmother? Are you crazy? You know Cinderella’s stepmother! What if she’s like that, Huh? What then? And who are those kids even?” Isabella screamed.

“This is Mia, Michelle, Nick, and Nathan. Your new brothers and sisters,” Jack spoke proudly.

“Great! I have always wanted brothers and sisters.” Isabella said sarcastically.

“Good! Then we understand each other,” Miranda, the evil stepmother said.

LATER THAT NIGHT

“Okay well this is your guys room and this is mine,” Isabella said, pointing to each room.

“No. I need my own room. So does Mia. You get the attic. Go.” Michelle stomped her foot.

Isabella went up to her new attic room with all her possessions. She was very scared. What would these new people do to her? Would they make her do chores? Make her clean the gutter? She wasn’t sure. At that moment, Isabella needed her mother. She missed her mom. Isabella thought of happy things, and after about five minutes she went to sleep.

A BASIC SATURDAY MORNING, TWO YEARS LATER

“Isabella! Get me some coffee!” Nathan skretched.

“And get me some tea!” Mia yelped.

“Yes Nathan, yes Mia!” Isabella replied.

Isabella ran down the stairs and into the kitchen. She made the coffee and tea as fast as she could. She definitely did not want to keep them waiting. She sprinted up the stairs and gave Nathan and Mia their orders. After that she started doing her daily chores. Her father, sadly, out of nowhere had a heart attack. Because he was sick, he could not stop Miranda from being cruel. She had more chores than anybody in the house. As Isabella started doing her chores she heard a sound from her computer that went “You’ve got mail!” She ran up to her attic room and looked at her e-mail. It said:

Jake Prince’s Big Beach Bash
Today, at 8:00 to?
At Santa Monica Beach all welcome

As Isabella saw this she heard a loud scream. “Ahhhh! OMG! Finally it’s here! Jake’s Beach Bash! Yes!” Michelle and Mia screamed.

Isabella ran down the stairs and into the girl’s room. “Can I go to the beach bash?” Isabella mumbled. She did not want to get her sisters mad.

“Ya-NO! Of course you are not going. Are you crazy?” Mia and Michelle said.

Isabella ran up to her room and started to cry. All she wanted to do is go to that party. She had never felt this before.

LATER THAT EVENING

“Mother, the taxi is here!” Mia yelled.

“One sec dearie!” Miranda yelped.

“Come down mother!” Michelle screeched.

“Here I am!” Miranda declared.

“Isabella! You must clean the whole house. If not you will be severely punished. Mr. Prince is probably going to come home with one of my babies,” Miranda boasted.

“Okay. But may I go to the party after?” Isabella wondered aloud.

“Let me think??? Um I guess NOT!” the stepfamily screamed.

“Well good-bye then,” She said with glum in her voice.

She decided to go upstairs and cry for hours. She REALLY wanted to go to the party. “Why can’t go to the party????!!!!!!” She bawled out.

“You can go to the party!” said a mysterious voice.

“Who said that?” Isabella asked. Isabella went down the stairs and into the kitchen. She saw a person. Who was that? Is that? No it can’t be, she thought. But then she realized that the girl looked exactly like her. It must be her twin!

She smiled and walked over. “Me! Your twin! Guess what! You are going to that party. Now lets get going!” Jessica, Isabella’s twin, said with pride in her voice.

“Your name is Jessica right?” Isabella asked.

Jessica nodded.

“Okay, Well um, 1. I have nothing to wear. 2. I have no way to get there. 3. I don’t know how to dance!” Isabella replied.

“Um well, I bought you a dress to wear, and I have money for a cab, and I can teach you how to dance!”

Jessica exclaimed. “Okay I guess; Wait! Where were you this whole time??” Isabella asked.

“I was at a boarding school in Europe. Well, here is the dress and gold flip flops!” Jessica said pulling them out of her bag.

Isabella slipped on the dress and shoes. She looked so good, it happened to be amazing. She and Jessica were talking for a little while. Isabella liked her twin. She was nice.

“Jessica, can you call a cab please?” Isabella asked.

As Jessica called the cab, Isabella went to put her hair up. She did not want to look bad at the party. “There’s the cab! Go Go Go!” Jessica yelled.

“Yes, twin!” Isabella said with happiness in her voice. Because of all the drama lately, she didn’t remember she had a twin.

As Isabella got into the cab, Jessica yelled out: “Be back by twelve! That’s when the glitter of the dress starts to fall out!”

“Okayyyyy!” Isabella said, as the cab started moving.

As Isabella arrived at the party, everyone stared at her. She felt very overwhelmed. But after about a second, Jake ran over and asked: “Will you dance with me?”

“Sure!” Isabella smiled.

Jake was a very nice boy. He got good grades, was head of about all the sports teams, and was the most popular boy in school. All the other girls were very jealous.
Jake and Isabella danced all night. At about 11:58 Isabella looked at the clock. It was almost midnight! Isabella ran out of the party and dropped her most prized possession: Her gold flip-flop! She continued running, for she did not want Jake to see her glitter falling off. The cab left so she ran home. Luckily, she got there before the stepfamily did. She ran up to her room and went to bed.

The next day, Jake wanted every single teenager to go to his house to try on the shoe. So as soon as Isabella heard the news she ran to his house.

“Is this where I try on the shoe?” Isabella asked.

“Yes it is,” replied Jake.

Isabella slipped on the flip-flop and Jake was so shocked, he almost fainted. “I guess you are my soul mate!” Jake said softly.

After a few years, Jake and Isabella got married. They lived happly ever after.
