Another's Eyes (installment #1)

Here's the first installment of the mini series that follows 15-year old Isabelle Hart on her miraculous adventure as she mysteriously transforms into Hayden Wood.

I sat up in bed, my eyes still half closed. My alarm was going off on my bedside table and I reluctantly pushed the snooze button as I let out a huge yawn. I could here my mom coming up the main stairwell. Something told me she was coming to wake me up, so I rolled over in bed, hoping to get if even a second of more sleep in. I was not even back under the covers before I heard her open the door and shuffle over to the bed in her designer slippers. She sat down on the edge and rubbed my back gently.  "Isabelle, honey, time to wake up." I wasn't ready to yet so I continued to be silent. My mother is not the most patient woman, though. "Isabelle Briana Hart, you better open those eyelids!" I groaned, then sat up in bed. She was beaming. "What are you so happy about?" I questioned. "Your father called." Just this part was a surprise to me because my father is the famous movie star Aidan Lucas Hart and I almost never see or hear from him. My mother continued with her happy speech. "He told me your two presents from us to you for your sweet 16 and he told me I could tell you them now and that you would be wicked excited and that you could start designing today and that if you could send the plans to his hotel suite at least a week before the party he could have it there in time for your special entrance and maybe he could even drop it off personally and stay for the week so he could go to your party but he could only do this if the cast managed to shot the final scenes of his new movie "Calico" in time for him to see to it that your presents are done and that they are on their way before he buys his ticket and gets on the plane and hires the crew for your second present and books the bands for the party and if time permitted, he would be waiting on your sweet sixteen red carpet when you arrived to give you a personal birthday kiss on the cheek."

I sat, wide-eyed and with my jaw dropped as she gasped for breath. I was not only amazed at the news, but more amazed  that she managed to say that in one breath. After finding out my presents, I got dressed and headed downstairs to mom's designing studio (she's a fashion designer) so I could get cracking.

    Tune in next week to find out what Isabelle's presents are, and how her sweet sixteen may not be so sweet.
