No Idea

*1 month later*

‘Stel, sweetie, you have to get up. It’s your first day back.’ Dad said, shaking me lightly. I groaned and rolled over, falling to the floor.

‘I’m down!’ I said, laughing into the floor. Dad laughed before lifting me up and throwing me onto my bed.

‘Now, get dressed, you get to drive to school, all on your own, in your new car! And you’ve got to pick Sarah up in 15 minutes.’ Dad said, before leaving my room. I jumped out of bed and bolted to my bathroom. I quickly changed my clothes, threw my hair up into a bun then sprayed some deodorant. I ran down the stairs and ran into the kitchen to where I saw dad smirking behind his coffee.

‘Now, you just said something about a new car.’ I said, jumping on my toes. Dad removed his coffee from his mouth and placed it on the table. He reached into his pocket, pulled out a pair of keys and chucked them to me. I screamed as I caught them and ran out the side door, taking me to the garage. In there, I saw a black jeep, it sat there quietly.

‘Have a good day honey! Drive safe!’ Dad yelled before I jumped into the car. I started the car up, before I pressed the button to open the roller door. When the roller door hit the roof, I put the car into reverse, the drove out the car. Once I was on the road, I put it into drove and took off, down the road towards Sarah’s house.

Once I was out the front of her house, I beeped the horn as I drove up the drive way. She walked out and screamed, running to the passenger door. She opened it, before jumping in and closing the door.

‘Holy fuck. You got a fucking jeep!’ Sarah said, looking over the stereo.

‘Oh yes, and check this out.’ I said, before playing some music.

‘Holy shit!’ She said, looking at me.

‘We still have an hour before we have school.’ I said, lifting one eyebrow with a smirk on my face. Sarah nodded her head eagerly and I reversed out the driveway.

As we drove down the streets of sunny San Diego, I was arguing to myself to bring her and Vic up. After she had left that day at Jaime’s, she’s only talked to me. She hardly left her house, let alone her room. She was afraid of a commitment, afraid of being hurt again.

Yeah, she dated Zack for that long, and she said she was perfectly fine with them breaking up, but I’m her best friend and it was killing her. There were days where I didn’t hear from her, well no one did. I started to get worried, but it was the fact that she cried all night, she slept all day, and missed school. Maybe, I’ll bring it up later.

As I pulled into the car park at school, I saw Jaime, Vic, Tony and Mike all talking with Alex and some guy who we didn’t know. As much as I wanted to run over to Jaime, I stayed next to my best friend as we hopped out of my Jeep and I locked it. I looked over to Jaime who was looking around till his eyes made contact with mine. He mouthed ‘come here’ and I shook my head. I pointed to Sarah who was already trying to avoid attention. He nodded his head understandingly before smiling. I smiled back sadly, before running off to meet with Sarah.

We were sat in music at the moment, it was now one of my main subjects, and Sarah was also in my class. All the guys were in the class also, but so were Jack and Zack, yet, we still haven’t had an issues.

‘Alright class, my name is Mr Way, I am the music teacher this year. I want to educate young students with talent. And that is what I’m going to do. Okay so, first things first, I want us to go around the room and I wanted you all to tell us something no one knows about you.’ Mr way said, pointing to Cassadee, who was sat next to Rian.

The class went around, telling Mr Way about things and everything. His eyes met with mine and he smiled to me.

‘Miss Stella! It’s been so long, how is your mother doing?’ Mr way said, smiling to me.

‘Oh she is fine. She and Austin have had a baby, young little winter. Sarah is also here.’ I said, pointing to her who waved to Gerard.

‘Oh Sarah! What are the odds of you guys attending the same school I’m teaching at.’ He said.

‘It’s kind of creepy, sir.’ Sarah said, laughing. I laughed and began to say my something.

‘Something no one knows about me…. I know Mr Way personally..’ I said, smiling.

‘I also know him personally.’ Sarah said quickly.

‘Alright, since we have been through everyone, it’s time to talk assignments. Your first assignments is to read up about a band you look up to and write an essay of too why you look up to them. Easy. Off you go!’ Mr Way said, before he got up from his desk and began to leave the room. Once he left, the class room erupted into chatter, off topic of course. I looked to Sarah and smiled.

‘You do dad’s band and I’ll do your mum’s.’ Sarah said, while I nodded my head.

‘Okay, I’m going to ask you this, when will you talk to Vic? Jaime’s been telling me that he’s been freaking out, he thinks that you hate him, and you want to break up with him an…’ I was saying before she interrupted.

‘Stella! I love Vic. I do. I know I do. I have thought about this for a month now, I regret not saying it back to him. I just think I’ve fucked it all up, because I am honestly scared that the same thing will happen to Vic. Vic will love me, he’ll meet new friends, then forget about me and pick on you! No one picks on my sister, no one treats me like shit. I am… was afraid. I just now need to tell him.’ She said, tearing falling from her eyes. I shook my head and wiped away the fallen tear.

‘You think I’d do that? I’d hurt the most beautiful girl who I have ever dated. Who I have loved more than anything. I’d never treat you like shit. I love you too much to walk over you like dog shit. I have a great group of friends, who needs new ones, yes some of them aren’t perfect and are missing a few screws... cough Stel… No, they are perfect to me and you’re perfect for me. If Patrick never saw me sitting on my own, I’d never have meet you. And Sarah, I’d never pick on my best friends girlfriend. No, I’d never pick on my best friend. She means too much to me.’ Vic said, which caused Sarah and I to turn our heads. Vic stood behind us, fiddling with his sleeves. She stood up from her seat and took a step towards Vic, before her arms went behind his neck.

Vic hugged her back before they exchanged a kiss. Jaime came up to me and wrapped his arms around my neck and kissed my temple. I smiled and though about how everything was going perfectly.
