Stella's POV
I stretched my arms and climbed out of bed. I was late. I ran into the shower and quickly showered. I came out of the shower and chose a pink shirt which I knotted and light denim shorts with Adidas superstars and a white Adidas cap.
I straightened my hair. I lightly dabbed on some foundation. I put some light pink sparkly eyeshadow and mascara on with pink lip gloss. I sprayed Eternity Moment by Calvin Klein on.
I packed my handbag with the things I needed. I headed downstairs and entered the kitchen. I had to pack later tonight because my parents were coming back tomorrow morning for my graduation.
I grabbed some toast and put some Nutella on it. I turned around and walked into the wall. "Ow", I groaned while rubbing my nose. I felt the wall move. Wait walls don't move. I look up and see Matt with an amused / uncertain look on his face.
Suddenly I felt him grab me by the waist and pull me in. He pressed his lips against mine and kissed me. He pulled away and let go. "I had to do that one more time", he said. Anger seized through me. How dare he kiss me without asking me. I slap him hard in the face and kick he in the sun don't shine. He groans and falls on the ground.
I run out on the verge of tears while Ashley called after me as i ran into the garage. I drive out of the garage and drive to school. I check the time. I was early. I walk into the courtyard and sit in the sun chilling and listening to some music.
A hear the tap sounds of some high heels and turn around a see Brittney. I smile and wave at her. She runs up and hugs me. "Matt's mum called me she sounded so worried", said Brittney. "Aww... glad you care about me", I said. She lightly smacks my shoulder. "YESTERDAY WAS AMAZING", she said. "It was", I said.
10 minutes later the bell rings for class. We both hug and leave to class.
I enter my History class. We were having a class party. I took out my lollies and chips and put it in the middle of the table. I took out my speaker and pumped out music. Soon, people were eating, laughing and dancing. I got my teddy bear for people to sign on.
I danced around the class. Time flew by and it was lunch. We had the talent show. This year I had signed up and I was going to sing Wildest Dreams by Taylor Swift.
I lined up back stage with my guitar. I was so nervous I hadn't sung in front of so many people in ages. "I'm so nervous", I say to Brittney. Brittney had decided to sign up since I did. She was going to dance. "Hon, I've heard you voice so many times. You don't need to worry because your literally the best singer ever", Brittney said. I grinned at her. "and you're the best friend ever", I said. "YAYYY", she shouted.
The line got shorter and soon it was mine time. I made my way to the middle of the stage and stood in the spotlight. I checked my mic was working and started strumming my guitar.
He said let's get out of this town
Drive out of the city
Away from the crowds
I thought heaven can't help me now
Nothing lasts forever
But this is gonna take me down
He's so tall, and handsome as hell
He's so bad but he does it so well
I can see the end as it begins my one condition is
Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again even if it's just in your wildest dreams (Ah ah)
Wildest dreams (Ah ah)
I said no one has to know what we do
His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room
And his voice is a familiar sound, nothing lasts forever
But this is getting good now
He's so tall, and handsome as hell
He's so bad but he does it so well
And when we've had our very last kiss
But my last request it is
Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again even if it's just in your wildest dreams (Ah ah) (Ah ah)
Wildest dreams (Ah ah)
You see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burn it down
Some day when you leave me
I bet these memories hunt you around
You see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burn it down (Burn it down)
Some day when you leave me
I bet these memories follow you around (Follow you around)
Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again even if it's just pretend
Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again even if it's just (Just pretend, just pretend) in your wildest dreams (Ah ah)
In your wildest dreams (Ah ah)
Even if it's just in your wildest dreams (Ah ah)
In your wildest dreams (Ah ah)
I finish singing and the whole hall is quite once I finished. Soon everyone is standing and clapping and whistling. I grin and curtsey. I hug Brittney as she heads onto the stage to perform her dance to Look what you made me do by Taylor Swift. Her dance was literally amazing.
I go back stage and find a letter with my name on it.
Dear Stella,
I'm sorry I kissed you earlier. I acted on impulse. I shouldn't have done it. I'm know I shouldn't have taken the dare but it lead me to you and I will do anything to get you back. I know this sounds crazy but one day we will be together and I know in my heart that we are destined to be together. Whether we go together now or when we are 90. I will always treasure those years I will spend with you. I know even after this letter you will be angry and I respect that because what I did was wrong. I'm sorry you lost your friends Sophie and Carmen because of the bet. I wanted to tell you that I apologised in front of everyone to the girls I played. I've changed and you will see that.
Matt â¤ï¸â¤ï¸
I was angry at myself for not seeing through his act and angry that he betrayed me. I wasn't going to date Matt anytime soon.
I fixed my clothes and smiled. I had a blast on stage and honestly I was excited to see who wins. The last act was Brittney. She came running off the stage and hugs me.
I see the principal walk on stage with an envelope in his hand. "This year's 2017 talent quest winner is ... STELLA - ROSE BROOKS", he said. I gaped then grinned. I walked onto the stage to accept my award. I thank Brittney and my teachers for making it a wonderful year and walk off the stage.
Brittney and I leave school and head back to the house. When I arrive back and I pack all four suitcases and bring them downstairs with the help or Brittney. I decided to go back home tonight.
"GRACE", I yelled. She comes running the down the stairs with her little legs. I pick her up and carry her. "I'm going today but I promise to keep in touch", I said. "You better, I'm going to miss you", she said. "Me too", I said. I give her a big hug and put her down. I hug Ashley. I take my suitcases and load it into my car. Brittney sits in the passenger seat. I wave to everyone and drive to my house.
After 10 minutes we arrive back at my house. I park in the garage and take out my suitcases. "HOLY FUCKING SHIT I THOUGHT MATT'S HOUSE WAS NICE BUT LOOK AT THIS", Brittney shouted. "Sorry, I'll lower the volume of my voice", she said. I give her the thumbs up.
I wheel the suitcases up to my room and leave them in the corner. I go into my bedroom and change into some comfortable clothes and climb into bed. I hear Brittney say some words but I was already falling asleep.
