Isabella

Isabela always preferred the silence of the school's corners. While the hallways teemed with conversations, she remained quiet, observing the world through her own perspective. Everyone there knew she was a lesbian; her authenticity bothered some, generating whispers and prejudiced glances that she simply chose to ignore. That day, sitting in the classroom, Isabel's focus had a very specific name: the most popular girl in school. With her striking tomboy style, wearing an impeccable dress shirt and with her short, straight hair tied in a discreet ponytail, she tried to disguise her shyness. However, her eyes insisted on seeking hers. It was a mixture of secret admiration and the genuine apprehension of someone who harbors a feeling too big to fit in their chest.
