Chapter 1

The last few days of summer ran by so fast that Isabella could hardly remember them as actually happening. She could still see vague images of her and Phineas looking through the overall packages until they could both recite it by heart and would do so for anyone who asked. They had all been talking about going to school so much that their friends had created a recording of them saying 'cool' whenever they called. And in their excitement they hadn't even realized this.

They went to be fitted for their uniforms and the excitement grew until they were both counting down the hours until their very first day.

As Isabella and her mother drove to school on that day- the excitement had turned into nervousness. She had stayed up late the night before until her alarm clock read 2:34 and she tried to settle down to sleep. She still had not been able to rest as she thought of the idea of sleeping in another bed the next night.

The idea that she was leaving home for even a few nights was nearly heartbreaking. Now sitting in the passenger seat next to her mother- the excitement mingled in the same company as her nervousness.

'Chica are you sure you remembered you remembered your extra uniform? Oh and they said that there would be a dance next week did you bring your dress?'

'Mom, I can get it on the weekend the dance isn't until the 17th and yes I did bring my extra uniform and shoes.' She assured her.

'Alright, Chica I'm just still nervous about you going to school.'

I'll be fine, mom. Though she wasn't exactly sure about that herself, she had never been away from home for more than a few nights and never in an unfamiliar place…

Isabella looked over in the passenger mirror, she had added a blue headband to match her uniform. The uniform was different than the ones she had seen in other boarding schools. It was a knee length dress in blue plaid over a white blouse. Cute ruffles in a darker blue were around the bottom edge and the collar. She liked the uniform a lot, when she had first seen it she had been with Alice.

Oh gosh the uniform is so Lolita! They must have known that I was coming and ordered the uniforms just for me. I mean it's so perfect. She exclaimed as she purchased the uniform. A grin passed over her face as she examined every inch of the dress and the stockings and the white Mary Jane's that went with it.

She smiled back on the memory as her and her mother continued to drive through the city. She felt like she was leaving the past behind her. This new felt so different than the old and she hadn't even got to the school yet!

The school was located just on the outskirts of the city and was on the same street as a small family run dinner theater, a grocery store, a KFC and the community center. Isabella was on the side of the car that faced the side the school was on.

Even though she had seen the pictures a million and one times the sight of the school still took her breath away. The school looked almost like a British university in it's beauty and old fashioned style. It was breathtaking.

Vivian pulled into the parking lot and shut the engine off. For a moment they sat there just watching the other students going into the school.

'You will come home for the weekends right?'

She nodded. 'Of course, I'm not gone mom I'm just leaving here now. '

Vivian nodded her eyes bloodshot from earlier tears. She opened her door and Isabella followed suit. They moved to the back of the car without a word to each other. Isabella retrieved her suitcase and purse. The purse had some money inside just in case.

'I'll see you on the weekend.'

Isabella nodded, she was about to walk away when she rushed back to hug her mother. She clung to her in return glad of this one moment. Vivian would be alone for a while now until she did come back for the weekend. She pulled away- letting go of her daughter while memorizing her for future use.

'Bye, chica.'

'Bye mom,' she replied. Isabella started to walk away before waving back to her mother. She waved back.

Isabella peered up at trees as she walked on the path leading up to the doors. They covered the path in their bright green splendor.

This place would be so beautiful in the fall, she mused.

Not paying attention to her feet, she accidently tripped on a foot jutting out from under the tree. As soon as she got her footing she turned to apologize.

'I'm so sorry- I didn't see-'

'Oh don't worry about it.' A girl looked up from her notebook. 'You're new around here- aren't cha?'

The girl who spoke was different in looks as far as Isabella was concerned. The girl in question was slightly overweight and even while sitting she was shorter than Isabella. Her raven black hair was pulled back into a bright red sash. Her eyes shone a bright blue green. Her skin was darker than Baljeet's.

'Yeah, it's my first day.' She muttered.

'I'm Katharine but you can call me Kat and that is Kat with a K.' She stated ignoring Isabella's last comment.

She stood up and Isabella's earlier prediction of her being shorter than her was proven true. She just a head shorter than her.

'Let me show ya around.'

'Um...Sure…'

Isabella fell into step with her as she started pointing out different groups of people.

'Right there are the theatre people, pretty weird lot if ya ask me.'

The theatre people right now were acting out a Shakespearean play, Isabella recognized it right away as Macbeth. She wondered if they would be putting that play on this year and if she was allowed to audition even though she wasn't in that section.

They continued on.

'Those are the dancers.'

They were pretty easy to spot. The dance group were dressed in what Isabella recognized as their gym uniform. Simple tight blue shorts [Booty shorts] with white tank tops that bore the school's logo. There was only one boy among them and he seemed to be directing the project.

Kat raised a hand to wave to him and he waved back with a grin before going back to ordering the younger girls around.

'You know him?' Isa asked with an eyebrow raised.

'Yeah we've been friends for years.' She explained then noted Isabella's expression and laughed. 'Really that's what's going through your head? That's Jeremiah he's almost to gay to function.' She continued laughing while Isabella tried to process this information.

She had nothing against gays however she had never actually knew one before. The idea simply made her curious that's all.

'So anything else I should know?' She asked while Kat was wiping a tear from her eye.

'Well there is a certain group you should stay away from.' She motioned to a large group that were sitting on the rocks near the entrance. 'You see the blonde? That's Jessica Smith, if you want to survive at this school stay a minimal 50 paces from her at all times. She rules this place with her boyfriend there and treats the rest of us like dirt.'

It wasn't hard to tell which one was her boyfriend since he was currently sucking her face off. Even in that position Isabella knew that was the girl from the mall…The one who was talking to Trey who was sitting on a rock a distance away talking to another girl.

By the way they were being so friendly to each other she had assumed that they had been dating. She must have been wrong, though she did catch something in the two seconds she had watched them. Jessica sent a wink towards Trey who smiled back.

Isabella didn't know what to think of it.

Once they had started walking again Kat finally asked which section she was in.

'I'm in music.' She explained.

'Oh, guess I'm stuck with Janet as a roommate again, she snores.'

Isabella giggled at her comment. They continued talking but Isabella's mind kept going back to that wink. How much could a wink mean?

'Is that Phineas Flynn?' Kat asked breaking her out her thoughts.

Phineas and Ferb were standing over by the door suitcases in hand.

'Phineas!'

His head snapped around and a grin broke out onto his face as he rushed over to join them. Ferb walked behind a little looking at each of the students very clearly trying to find Alice. She didn't seem to be anywhere to be found.

Phineas gave her a quick hug not even realizing that Kat was there, a 'hem hem' broke the romantic atmosphere.

'So you know Phineas then?' Kat raised an eyebrow. Isabella blushed.

'Hey the name's Kat, I heard you were coming but I thought it was just rumors.'

'Nope, I'm here and so excited! Izzie did you see out back? They have a swimming pool!'

Isabella smiled at his eagerness, it was really very adorable.

As Phineas rambled on and on about as it seemed everything about the school. Isabella turned to Kat and said. 'So yeah meet my boyfriend.'

'Should have guessed, that look on his face was enough to give it away.'

Ferb joined them silent as ever still searching for Alice. Where could she be? She would be carrying around a cello…She wouldn't be that hard to spot. But then again a lot of students had large musical instruments and they were all in uniform…

'So yeah I'll see you at lunch then, gotta go get unpacked.'

'Alright see you later then.' Isabella said as she was walking away. Phineas was so focused on his rambling that he didn't even notice her leave.

'Hey where'd Kat go?' He asked finally slowing down.

Isabella giggled. 'Come on Phin we'd better go figure out where our dorms are.'

And yes I know most arts schools don't have swimming pools but this one does and why might you ask? Because I'm the author and I said so! Anyways feel free to leave a review and I'll get the next chapter up next Saturday [I've decided to get a routine now] and about the contest. Two weeks from now is the deadline for all votes and then the new OC will be introduced. Just to keep that clear.
