Isabel spent the rest of the day texting Janai, who had briefly wondered why she and Liz had left school early today. She gave her a lame excuse about feeling sick and they rest of the night they spent talking about schoolwork and random books they had both read. Richard had also texted her, but that was a lot earlier in the day, so Izzie just assumed Liz had already returned his texts. She's usually good about that.
While Isabel caught up on her schoolwork and even got ahead to distract herself, she considered telling Janai more of the truth, but decided against it for now. Why tie someone else up in all of this when everyone would be equally helpful. So she ended up saying goodnight prematurely and going to sleep around 8, which was early, but if she was being honest with herself, it was because she didn't want to see her mom when she got back.
She knew that if she came home early enough to see Isabel, it would either be a sweet conversation with a kiss to the forehead or a concerned lecture about why the school called to say she didn't attend classes today and Isabel wasn't sure she wouldn't just burst into tears and tell her everything because she was too out of her depth for all of this. So she went to sleep and hoped again that this was all some long nightmare.

But she woke up Wednesday morning to another dull headache and ended up waiting outside for Eliza's jeep to pull up. Isabel was wearing a hoodie, which was strange in this warm weather, but it was going to be fall soon, so nobody would really care. When it was getting to be kind of close to class time, she called Liz to make sure she hadn't slept in or to ask where she was on her way here. The phone range for awhile, but she eventually answered. "Hey Liz, please tell me you're almost here? I mean I could take the bus if you slept in again, but I would love if I didn't have tooo," she smiled, hoping the joking tone was carried through. Everything that hung in the air between them lately felt too heavy right now, so lightening everything else up was all Isabel knew how to do.
