I woke up in Stella's room to the sound of angered yelling going off in the next room.
"What the fuck is your problem?" I hear an angry Stella yell
"What do you want?" I hear an annoyed Easton yell back
"I want you to stay away from my best friend since you can't seem to be logical around her"
"It's not my fault that I get lovesick around her"
"You call that love? You decided to believe her enemy instead of listening to her, her enemy you dumbass. Out of everyone, you fucking chose Emma DíLance" Stella yells so loud that I jump from shock
I've heard them fight many times, but it's never been this bad.
"How was I supposed to know that they were enemies?"
"Um, it's pretty fucking obvious, dumbass"
"Stop calling me a dumbass" He says before Stella goes quiet for a couple of minutes
"Stay away from her. You obviously don't know how to treat her, so just stay away." I hear Stella yell quieter
"How am I supposed to apologize to her if I have to stay away from her" He says with an annoyed tone
"Figure it out. If you really love her, you'll find a way" I hear her say loudly before footsteps start to get closer towards her door
When her eyes land on me they widen with fear and shock
"You didn't hear that, did you?" She asks with a cautious tone
"It's kind of hard not to when you both are yelling at each other" I say with a shrug and small smile which causes her to laugh at my bad joke
"Do you want to cuddle and watch movies like we used to?" She asks but I can hear the sadness behind her emotionless voice
"I really am sorry for that," I say with a frown before I hold my arms open so she'll come and hug me
"But I meant it when I said that I would spend more time with you" I say with a smile as she lays beside me and wraps her arms around my waist which causes me to wrap mine around her neck
She nods her head as she rests it in the crook of my neck. She looks tired and stressed, so I don't mind if she sleeps.
I reach over and grab her remote before I turn on N*****x and watch a random movie since I'm not in the mood for a specific genre.

In the middle of the movie I hear a knock on the door before Ms. Hayes walks inside and closes the door behind her
"Are you feeling any better?" She asks me with a sad smile as she walks over and sits on the foot of Stella's bed
"Yes, I'm just stressed but that's every high school student" I say with a small laugh since I don't want to bring her into my complicated life drama. Especially when it involves her son.
"You know that you don't have to pretend" she says with an understanding voice which causes me to clear my throat and look down at a sleeping Stella with a thoughtful expression
"I have no idea what you're talking about" I say with an emotionless tone
"It doesn't take a genius to know that Easton and you are going through a rough patch" she says with an understanding tone
I continue to look at Stella's relaxed face as I let my tears silently fall.
I don't really know why I'm crying. I think it's because I don't want to show my emotions, so my body betrays me and shows the emotion instead.
"Actually, we're not together anymore" I say as I continue to look at Stella's face
The longer I look at her face, the more I realize how much Easton and her are really alike, in some aspects.
They both share the same sexually hilarious humor.
They both have a cute pout on their face when they're having a bad dream.
They both have the most gorgeous set of eyes I have ever seen.
I've known them since we were kids but I've never realized all of their similarities until now.
More tears start to stream down my face as I turn towards Ms. Hayes and give her a sad smile.
I weirdly feel incomplete.
"Does it get any better from here?" I ask her
"Honestly? Yes" she says
"All relationships have some disagreements here and there. Some even break up and try dating other people, but if it's meant to be then you both will find your way back to each other" she says
"What if we don't find our way back to each other?" I ask as tears continue to stream down my face
"Then you just weren't meant to be, but you'll find your soulmate very soon" she says which causes me to nod my head
"I'm always here if you need to talk." She says with a smile "After all, I gave birth to that over dramatic boy" she says with a joking tone which causes me to laugh at her joke as I wipe my tears away
"Thanks" I says with an appreciative tone which makes her smile as she stands from the bed
"Of course" she says before she leaves out the room but I can't help but let one sentence she said stay on my mind.
"Some even break up and try dating other people, but if it's meant to be then you both will find your way back to each other"
Should I try to date other people just to see if this was all just a phase or should I wait?
Stella told him to stay away from me and I don't know if he'll listen to her.
But the fact that he so easily chose to believe Emma over me proves how much trust he has in me.
I'm going to go out on a date and see if all these feelings I have for Easton are real or are just teenage hormones.
I'm single, so he can't tell me no.
As soon as I walked into school it was a mad house.I was immediately surrounded by boys from every stereotype, from the chess club to the Quarterbacks.They all kept asking The the same questions which consisted of..."Amelia, now that you're single, do you want to go to prom with me?""Would you like to go on a date with me?""Who are you going to prom with because it should be me"While others just kept handing me flowers and boxes of chocolates.Easton broke up with me yesterday at the end of school where only the cheerleading team and football team were present but most likely in the locker rooms.When I finally manage to get through the crowd of boys, I sprint towards my locker only to accidentally run into someone.I feel all the gifts fall out of my grasp as I prepare myself to fall to the ground but it never came.I slowly peek open my eye only to see a brown pair of eyes looking down at me with amusement"Are you okay?" He asks when I can stand on my two feet again"Yeah, So
"Hello?" I ask as I tap on his shoulderHe turns around and I'm met with those same pair of brown eyes that I saw in the hall today."I thought you were going to stand me up" he says with a lighthearted laugh that makes me smile"Of course not" I say as I grab his shaky hand and lead him over to the ticket booth.He ordered two tickets to watch the movie "Chicken Little" since it's a comedy and there currently weren't any scary movies playing."Since you paid for the tickets, I'm paying for the snacks" I say which makes him smile as turns towards me"I don't remember agreeing to that" he says with a teasing voice as we walk into the snack court"Well you're going to" I say with a smirk as I walk towards the popcorn counter."Hello, We'll take the buttered popcorn" I say to the brown haired guy whose behind the counter as the brown eyed boy walks up beside me"Of course, pretty lady" the guy behind the counter says with a wink before he starts to prepare the popcornOh my fucking goodn
Asher and I have been dating for a week now.He's been so sweet to me and we've been on a date everyday ever since he asked me out.Stella has been acting weird ever since we had an argument in the closet at the movie theater.Easton and Emma have been spending a lot of time together, but Easton looks miserable while Emma looks smug.Everytime Stella and I hang out she tries to find a reason to bring up Easton, but I shut it down before she can continue.I don't hate him, but I hate how he jumped to conclusions before confiding in me first.Me, Stella, and Asher are currently at lunch. I'm sitting beside Asher and Stella is sitting across from us and is eating her food with a pissed expression on her face."Babe, we should go to the ice skating rink after school" Asher says as he looks at me with excitement written on his face which causes Stella to scoff"Amelia doesn't know how to ice skate" she deadpans which causes me to glare at her before I turn to look at Asher with a smile"I
I texted Asher saying that I wasn't feeling well and that I needed to cancel our date before I left school.My mom picked me up from school and held me while I cried in her arms.She's usually traveling, so the fact that she was here and is willing to stay a few days because of me makes me feel happy.She immediately took me home without any words and placed me in my room."What's wrong, pumpkin?" She asks me as she hands me another carton of Ben and Jerry's ice creamI accept the carton and start to eat out of it as I look at the blank wall and continue to play the conversation in my mind of the argumentThe face he made before I walked away is currently haunting me.I feel bad.Even though he hurt me I feel like I was being a brat when I put all of the blame on him."It's nothing that ice cream won't fix" I say with a weak smile as my heart continues to hurt with every beat that it takes"I know that I'm barely here, but I know when you're lying" she says which makes me look down as
Asher and I are currently talking by my locker.I feel like I should tell him that I don't want to continue our relationship since my feelings for him aren't as strong as they were."Don't think that I hate you," I say when he looks down"I do like you, but it's more of a friendship type of love than a relationship" I say which makes him smile before he grabs my hand"I understand" he says before he kisses my hand which makes me blush "Can we still eat lunch together?" He asks which makes me smile as I nod my head"Great, now let me walk my friend to class" he says with a playful tone"No, you're going to be late for class" I say"I don't care. They'll survive without me for a couple of seconds" he says which makes me laugh before I let him walk me to my class.We get a lot of stares as we walk down the hall. Hopefully it's not because of what happened during ELA yesterday."I'll see you in a couple hours" he says with a smile before he kisses my cheek and walks to his classI smile a
Remember when I said that Stella and I would go prom dress shopping after school?Yeah, well that never happened.We got swarmed with homework since it's close to the end of the year so we had to put shopping off for five days.When I woke up from sleeping in Easton's room, his mom playfully bombarded me with many questions while Stella just smiled.I told her that him and I were just friends.After I told her that, her mood seemed to dampen.Stella and I are currently at the mall.She said that I would look good in a black dress while I said she would look good in a white dress so that we wouldn't spend all day looking through dresses since we're on a time crunch."You should try this on" she says as she hands me a long sleeved black dress with some lace detailsI take the dress and walk inside of the dressing room. When I have the dress on I look in the mirror and critique how it looks on me.It's off the shoulders and the sleeves are made out of lace while the rest of the dress is
It's currently Prom Night.Asher asked Stella to prom during her third class, so I couldn't witness it but according to her 'It was a dream come true'.I haven't been asked, but Stella said that it was okay with her and Asher if I tagged along with them.I said no since I don't want to third wheel.Stella and I skipped school today so that we could sleep in and then later get our hair and makeup done by her mom since she's a professional."Thank you for doing this Mrs. Hayes" I say as she finishes applying my red lipstickShe used brown shades and a gold color for my eyeshadow. She also curled my eyelashes and applied mascara since I was blessed with long eyelashes. She used concealer so that she could conceal all of my stress acne and under-eye bags. She used some contour and highlight for my cheeks so that my face would look less babyish and more mature. Lastly she used a deep red matte lipstick for my lips and gave me the tube so that I could reapply if necessary."Woah" I say as I
Two weeks later.The week after Prom, the teachers decided to actually teach something useful which is surprising.During testing, every single one of us had comfortable clothes and coffee with us since we have to sit in an uncomfortable metal chair for four hours.When testing week was over, Easton and I spent every single day after school sleeping and cuddling. Only getting up to use the bathroom, shower, or get food.It's currently the last week of school and I couldn't be anymore happier to get out of here.We only have three days of school for this week and two of them are spent doing graduation preparations."Hey, babe" Easton says as I feel his arms wrap around me from behind and a kiss being placed on my cheek. I turn away from my locker, which I'm currently cleaning out, and wrap my arms around his neck before I lean in and kiss him.Our relationship weirdly feels stronger ever since I found out about the truth."Woah, you both. Maybe try not to make out in the hallway where
