The Real Stella Smock

It's Been A Minute...

After Ariana gets out of the shower I go in and then pull on this cute black sweater with a white lightning bolt on it, burgundy skinnys and my white vans. It would take too long to straighten my hair so I just left it alone. I pull on my glasses and then run downstairs. I make some eggs for all of us and then we leave.

"Do you need us to drive you?" Ari asks.

"Nah. You guys aren't that far from Jaden."

"Just text me when you guys are home so we can finish our PLL marathon." She smiles and I wave bye as they pull out of the driveway. I start skateboarding and then my phone starts vibrating.

"Hello?" I didn't recgonize the number.

"Stella?" A girl asks.

"Um, yeah. Who's this?" I slow down a little.

"It's Marisa." I grin.

Marisa was a friend of mine, a really good friend of mine. We met in ninth grade and  immediately clicked. But this summer we just stopped talking. I don't even know why, it was really random. Then I would text her or call and she wouldn't pick up.

"Hey!" I say all excited like and she laughs.

"Hey."

"It's been a while."

"I know. I got a new phone, and since I didn't save my contacts to my sim card I lost all of them. I just got your number yesterday." She explains.

"Oohh. Makes sense."

"Yeah."

"So what's been up with you?" I ask her.

"Nothing. Just living that boring life... unlike you." I smile.

"Hanging out with the celebs, making music. I didn't even know you could sing Stella!" I laugh.

"Yeahh. That's not something that comes up in a conversation." She laughs.

"And don't even get me started on your boyfriend." I blush.

"I don't know how you did it Stella. One year you were just a a kid in tenth and now you're like a star in the making!" I laugh.

"I know, it's crazy!"

"But yeah, I just called to let you know I got a new number. So hit me up when you have the time."

"Alright."

"Ok. Bye."

"Bye." She hangs up and I take my headphones out of my pocket, plug them into my phone, put the earbuds in my ear and continue skateboarding to Jaden's.

*knock knock-knock-knock knock, knock-knock*

A couple seconds later Jaden comes to the door.

"Hey." I lean up and kiss him.

"Hey." I smile on his lips and Jaden kisses me again.

"Alright. I don't exist." I grin when I hear the familiar voice. I slowly look past Jaden.

"Mateo!!!" I run and jump on him hugging him around his neck.

"That's better." I hear the smile in Mateo's voice.

I hop off and shove him.

"Why didn't you call me?!"

"Ayo!" Moises walks out of the kitchen.

"You too!" I give Moises a look.

"Bye-o..." He says low and walks backwards back into the kitchen. I can't help but laugh.

"I missed you guys." I say.

"We missed you too bro." Moi says.

"And I would've called, but that's not the same. I mean if you had facetime that would be a completely different story." Mateo says and I roll my eyes.

Jaden wraps his arms around my waist from behind and leans me on to his chest. I place my hands on top of his.

"So what were you guys doing?"

"Nothing. We've been waiting for you to get here so we could do something." Teo says. 

"Oh."

"So I hear your single's dropping this month." Moi tells me.

"Yep."

"Is there a definite date?" Teo asks.

"Yeah, the twelveth." 

"A week away." Jaden says.

"Yessir. And I'm on On Air with Ryan Seacrest manana." I grin.

"Nice." Teo says.

"I know. I'm excited." I say. Then I remember something.

"Did you get my dress?" I ask Jaden.

"Calm down. I told you I got you."

"Did you get it?" I ask.

"Not yet but-"

"Jaden!"

"Chill." He smiles.

"Jaden it's like three weeks away." I tell him.

"I got this." I roll my eyes playfully.

"And how are you going to find this dress? You don't even know my size." I tell him.

"You act like that's hard to tell."

"Alright. Tell me then, what's my size?" He looks at me for a second.

"Six." 

"That was actually pretty close, but no." He gives me a questioning look.

"What is it?" He asks.

"A girl never tells." I shrug and walk into the kitchen.

I go to their fridge and look for something to drink. I come across a Root Beer.

"Ew." 

"You sleep." Jaden says.

"Nah, thats just nasty." I say and then find a can of Dr. Peper in the back of the fridge.

"Dr. Peper!" I take it out and pop the top.

"Swerve." Jaden takes it out of my hand and starts downing it.

"Jaden!" I laugh while I try to take my Dr. Peper back.

"Alright, alright. Here." He hands me it back and I shake it.

"It's like half empty." I give him a look.

"No, it's half full." I laugh.

"Shut up." I push him out of my way so I can walk back to the guys.

"So how's the Dame?" I ask.

"Lame. What about Calabasas?" Moi asks.

"Pretty much the same. The school's too chill. It's weird."

"I feel you." Teo says.

"So what are we gonna do?" I ask the guys.

"We can go to the beach." Jaden offers.

"It's like sixty deegrees outside." I tell him.

"I know." He smiles.

"I don't have a bathing suit though."

"Yeah you do. You left a couple."

"Perfect." Teo and Moi go home to change while Jaden and I head upstairs...
