No Idea

Friday came like that. I was now in my room, placing my dress on before I did my hair. My dress was green and it suited me really well. Sarah got a purple dress and Vic was going to wear a purple tie, considering they were a couple. Jaime, I don’t know what he was going to wear and he didn’t want to know what my dress looked like. He wanted it to be a surprise. This was the last time Sarah and I would be seeing the halls of the school.

Sunday afternoon, we travel to Australia for a visit to see my mum and Sarah’s Dad. Who got together so Sarah and I are technically related. My mum had blonde hair and her name was Jenna, Sarah’s dad was Austin Carlile. And plus I get to see my sister, Winter Carlile.

Surprisingly they made a great couple but mum moved back to Australia, so this year Christmas was away from the snow and in the sun.

A knock was placed at the door and I heard dad talking to Jaime. This is the first time they met! I pushed my hair over my shoulders and quickly put my heels on before I walked out my room and down the stairs. I smiled at my dad and Jaime who were looking at me, smiling widely.

‘Stella, you look beautiful!’ My dad said and he smiled then kissed my forehead.

‘I agree, she is stunning.’ Jaime said smiling to me.

‘Well, you did a good job yourself!’ I said as Jaime spun around. I laughed and began to walk out.

‘Don’t be too late. Your plane leaves tomorrow at 10 in the morning so we need to leave at 7. Don’t forget to tell Sarah!’ Dad said. Jaime’s eyes were confused as he looked at me.

‘I thought we were leaving Sunday?’ I said back to dad.

‘No, your mother booked it for tomorrow. You land on Sunday.’ Dad said again.

‘Oh okay, well see you tonight dad.’ I said smiling.

‘I’ll have her home not to late Mr Skyes.’ Jaime said.

‘Please, call me Oli.’ Dad said. Jaime smiled and then nodded. We walked out and made our way to the limo Jaime hired for us. Sarah and Vic, Brendon and Tony also in the limo waiting.

‘Howdy all.’ I said as I got in and smiled. ‘Oh Sarah, dad said that our plan leaves tomorrow, at 10, so just stay tonight? I assume you have packed?’ I said looked to her. She nodded her head and smiled.

‘So where are you going and leaving and when were you planning on telling us?’ Jaime questioned as the limo took off.

‘Ah, well you see, Sarah’s dad married my mum so we are going to see them and our sister for Christmas.’ I said looking at Jaime.

‘Oh, I was hoping we’d spend some time together near Christmas, as a group I mean.’ Jaime said.

‘Oh you guys can come with us if you want?’ I said laughing.

‘Stella! No, you guys can’t. You can’t afford the plane ticket.’ Sarah said also laughing.

‘Where are you going?’ Vic asked.

‘Straya’ I said in an Australian accent which I mastered.

‘Where?’ Jaime questioned.

‘Australia.’ Sarah said again.

‘So you’re British and Australian?’ Tony asked.

‘Yep!’ I said nodding my head.

‘Well enough of this, let’s get out and party.’ Brendon said as the limo stopped. We all go out and made our way in to the venue.

*Back to present*

‘Wait, you are telling me, that your my step sister?!’ I practically screamed.

‘Yeah, your mum and my dad kinda fell in love so, they got married and moved.’ Sarah said shrugging her shoulders.

‘Okay and I have one more question, am I still friends with Tony? And if so, why isn’t he here?’ I said looking around the room.

‘He’s out in the waiting room, they won’t let him in because he isn’t family.’ Vic stated.

‘Honestly, I don’t care that he’s not family, if he will have any help in me regaining my memory, I want him here now.’ I said looking to Jaime. He nodded his head and walked out.

About five minutes of a little awkward silence and playing with Ruby’s blonde hair, Jaime returned with a rather tattooed man. His glasses sat on his nose which made his eyes just a little bigger.

‘I am assuming you must be Tony?’ I said when he walked up to the bed, smile on his face.

‘I am.’ Tony said with a soft voice.

‘I have one more question, then you can continue.’ I said looking to Jaime. He nodded his head and I continued. ‘Are you and Brendon still together?’ I said looking to Tony. Tony’s face lit up with happiness but also with sadness.

‘Most defiantly, if it wasn’t for you, I would have walked out on him forever.’ Tony said, smiling.

‘Where is he then?’ I asked and looked behind Tony.

‘On tour. With his band, Panic! At The Disco. They went to Soundwave in Australia.’ Tony said smiling still. I nodded my head to Tony then to Jaime.

‘Okay, so the disco/party thing you used to call it…’ Jaime stated.

*Back to Past*

Walking into the hall, we were met with the principal and deputy principal.

‘Girls and Boys.’ They said grabbing our attention.

‘Uh yes sir?’ We all said as we all walked over to them.

‘I am here to inform you that all of you are suspended for the rest of the school year. You caused great harm to other students. You are to enjoy tonight then attend school next year as if nothing happened. You understand.’ The principal said.

‘We understand.’ We all said. We walked in further to see lights, balloons and tables all around the grand hall. We made our way to a table so we could all sit down so people can talk and everything like that.

‘The one with the green balloons.’ I said as I walked over and nearly tripped. I heard laughing from behind me. I glared to Jaime and Sarah as they were nearly in tears. I sat down and crossed my arms.

‘Hello everyone. Thank you for attending this year’s dinner plus dance event. It is a great pleasure to have so many people have the guts to ask people to come as their dates. Most of you know who I am, but for those who don’t, I am you’re class president, Cassadee Pope. I hope everyone has a good time tonight and let’s have fun with it.’ Cassadee said before walking off the stage. Music was played and it was all the new stuff. I mean I liked some of it but I hardly listened to it.

‘So, who would care to dance?’ Vic said pointing to the dance floor. We all nodded and stood up. Tonight, none of us had seen the gang and their girlfriends so they probably weren’t coming.

I danced until it was time to eat, which meant I went to stuff my face with food. Jaime decided on coming to join me. We were at the table for not less than 2 minutes when one of those soft songs started to play. I looked to the dance floor and saw Tony and Brendon coming back. I smiled to see Sarah and Vic dancing while talking and laughing.

‘They are so adorable!’ I said looking to Jaime. He just looked back at me with a smirk on his face.

‘No Stella, you look adorable and I think we should have this dance.’ Jaime said taking my hand and pulling me to the dance floor. I just smiled to the boy who was finally doing something about him liking me. He placed his hands on my waist and I placed my hands around his neck. I couldn’t keep the smile off my face. I’ve been dreaming about this day ever since I saw him in my form class nearly 2 years ago.

‘Stella, you have done nothing but help me for the past couple of months and I am forever grateful for that. You are such a kind-hearted, well-kept soul who puts all her needs after everyone else’s. I am so thankful about you pulling me out of the English class on the day I found out about my parents. You put yourself out there to someone who you probably hated. You promised someone you hardly knew that you were there for them. I don’t think I could ever thank you enough or even like you enough Stel! Being your friend has caused me to madly fall for you. I know that you don’t like me that way but I can tell you right now that I have fallen in love with your smile, the way your hair sits around your face. The colour of your eyes and even you bravery. I have just fallen in love with you!’ Jamie spoke as I felt my eyes become teary.

‘Jaime Preciado. Now you may or may not know this but I have been in love with you for a whole year! A whole year Jaime! I fell for you when I saw you, I obviously didn’t know you were popular and dating so when I went to talk to you, it was a surprise to me about the way you acted. I knew there was so much more to you, so much more! You just never showed it. And now look at you, you are closer with Vic and Tony than you were ever with Jack. You have such a better chance with girls, aka myself. Haha no, you never truly loved that girlfriend you were dating before. I could see it. I was so excited to go to English this year, I always got to see you. I got the closest to you that I though was never possible. I mean, I never thought I’d be dancing with the most handsome guy I have ever seen in my life! Let alone hearing you admit that you love me. Which is a good thing, because I love you Jaime.’ I said moving one of my hands from behind his neck and cupping his cheek. He began to lean in.

It’s really going to happen.

The moment that come next was the least expected. Jaime and I were pulled apart and he was thrown to the floor. I examined the body shape and realised that it was in fact Zack about to punch Jamie. I held onto Zack’s fist and he turned around and looked at me.

‘Zack, please. What has happened to you? You used to be this nice, quiet civilised guy, who wouldn’t ever harm a fly. Now look at you, you think that everyone has to like you and that you are on top of the world. You need to realise that you are not all that! You can’t go around hurting anyone at your own will. Please, I call a truce. I will never both you again, and neither will these guys, if you promise to never both us again.’ I said looking at him as he still held Jaime on the ground.

‘Fine, a truce it is. But you mess with anyone, the truce cancels out and you’re boyfriend over here gets it.’ Zack said pushing Jaime as he got up off him and walked away. I looked at Jaime and helped him up, and then dragging him to the table. I pretty much pushed him into the chair and looked at him.

‘Are you okay?’ I asked looking over his face. I heard Sarah and Vic come over, talking.

‘Stella, I’m fine, let’s just go okay. You’ve got to be up early tomorrow anyway.’ Jaime said standing up.

‘Alright.’ I said taking his hand and guiding us out. Sarah, Vic, Tony and Brendon following.

The limo dropped Tony and Brendon off before stopping at Vic’s house. Sarah and Vic said their goodbyes, with a shy hug and Vic kissing her cheek, we drove to Sarah’s. She hopped out to grab her suit case and carry-on bag. When she returned, the limo took her and I to my house. We got out and said our goodbye’s to Jaime before the limo took him home.

‘Zack is such a jerk.’ I said as Sarah and I walked up to my room. she nodded her head in response.

‘You alright?’ I asked Sarah before she left the room.

‘Yeah, kinda nervous about flying, is all. I’ll be back, getting changed.’ She said leaving the room. I quickly got changed and then lied on my bed, turning on the television to watch Spiderman. Sarah returned and joined me on the other side of the bed.

‘I’m excited to see mum. It’s been too long.’ I said still looking at the TV.

‘Yeah, I’ve missed dad.’ Sarah said with a sigh.

‘And Winter.’ I added. Sarah laughed as she nodded her head.

‘Well, we should get some sleep.’ She said as she turned the tv off with the remote. I just nodded and got comfortable. Sleep was going to be good for a long flight.
