Hey people! This is my second winx club story so I'm still kind of beginning. Anyway that doesn't mean i want people to take pity on me! I want people's opinions so I'm open to flames as long as they aren't too mean!

Just to make it clear – the winx have no magic in this story (sorry to all those who want there to be) but their personalities do take after their element in the programmes.

And secondly – The specialists hate the Winx Club and the vice versa. They go to regular schools and are about 17ish. Ok with that cleared up on with the story!

Disclaimer: I do not own Winx Club or any of the characters. I do own the plot though :D

Stella's POV

I sighed. Looking out the window of the bus I noticed it was getting dark. I hated the dark. Ever since one night when I was younger, some guy broke into the house and I woke up to find him staring at me. I shivered from the thought.

"Hey, you ok?" someone asked. I turned my head to look at my best friend, Bloom. I smiled at her.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I replied.

"You sure?" she said while looking passed me and out the window. "It's getting dark. You sure you're ok?"

Bloom knew about my fear of the dark, but so did everyone. I was about to reply when someone else spoke.

"Aww is Stella afraid of the dark?" I looked up and glared at him. His name was Brandon. I hated him. He was so full of himself and seemed to find it funny to make fun of me all the time.

"Yeah. I heard that she takes a panic attack whenever it gets dark," commented the boy behind him.

"Shut up Riven. Don't you have anything else to do with your life?" A girl with blue hair said.

"Yeah, there is nothing wrong with having a fear. It's completely logical." Agreed the girl next to her.

That was Musa and Tecna. Behind them were Flora and Layla. Those girls are my best friends. You see we're on a school trip. Only twelve students could go and luckily all six of us got in. Unfortunately though so did them.

We hated them and they hated us. I guess you could call us mortal enemies. Everyone in school knows it and the ones who didn't would eventually find out (One person said to Musa once that her and Riven would make a cute couple. Well, put it like this, they had to replace the wall once Musa was done.)

We were on a mini-bus and one half was us girls and the other half was the boys.

"Actually I do, but right now I'm stuck on a bus with six of the most hideous people ever," replied Riven.

"Oh don't worry," said Musa. "The feelings mutual."

Suddenly there was a big bang and we all went flying onto the floor.

"What the hell-"said a blonde haired boy called Sky.

"Sorry folk," said our driver, Codatorta. "We must of hit something."

We all groaned. Codatorta got up and grabbed the flash light and went outside. I looked through the window again. It was basically dark now. I started to get agitated. I tried to calm myself down for right now the last thing I need is the boys making fun of me again. I looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that no one saw. They were all too busy arguing.

"Someone should go out and help them," commented Layla.

"Yeah, how about you Timmy?" agreed Tecna. Timmy was Tecna's 'mortal enemy'. I guess we all had one. Mine was Brandon; Bloom's was Sky and so on.

"Uh well, why don't you?" stuttered Timmy.

"Um, maybe because I didn't study engineering like you did!" shouted Tecna. You could see she was starting to get agitated.

"I'll go," I said. Everyone turned and started at me. Suddenly all the boys burst out laughing.

"You?" questioned Nabu. "You, the one who took every single beauty class and is terrified of the dark?"

At that all the boys started to laugh again. If this had been an anime I probably would have smoke coming from my ears and one of those throbbing veins in the corner of my head.

I glared at them. With one swift motion I stood up and walked down the tiny isle of the mini-bus. I stopped at the entrance. It sure was dark outside. I didn't have to turn my head to know that they were all staring at me. I couldn't chicken out now. I just couldn't.

I stepped outside the mini-bus. I was drenched with a wave of cold air, a chilly autumn breeze. I looked up and stared at the moon. At home it seemed so beautiful but here, well, it just seemed to haunt the sky.

I had a good mind to run back into the mini-bus and hide under one of the chairs. I quickly discarded that thought and took a few steps around to the front of the bus. I could feel the mud squelch under my shoes, but I ignored it for I knew that they could all still see me.

When I reached the bus I saw Codatorta bending down looking at one of the tyres. He must have heard me coming for he looked up and smirked.

"Why, what you doing out here Stella?" He asked.

"Uh, well," I stuttered. I didn't know why I was here actually. It wasn't because I really wanted to that was for sure.

"Trying ta prove a point?" I looked at him carefully. You can always tell whether someone is being genuine or not from their eyes. I gazed into his eyes and then realised that he was being genuine.

I sighed.

"I think your right," I admitted. "But don't tell anyone that!"

He chuckled.

"Don't worry, yer secrets safe with me."

"Thanks. So what's wrong with the bus?" I suddenly asked.

Meanwhile

No one's POV

They all started at the spot that Stella had been at. None of them could believe that she, of all people, would have the guts to go out there. None of them would admit it but this place creeped them out to - even Riven.

Finally Layla broke the silence.

"Did she really just do that?" she asked. They all nodded at her.

They were all in shock. This was Stella. The Stella that went shopping every day. The Stella that hated to get even her nails wet. And yet the Stella that was brave enough out of them all to step outside and go see what was wrong.

"She must be on drugs," Musa commented. They all burst out laughing but then suddenly remembered that they should be enemies.

"One of us should go out too," Flora sighed.

"I'll go," Bloom volunteered.

"Actually I was thinking maybe a boy should do it," replied Flora. The boys all looked at each other. None of them wanted to.

"Fine, I will," Brandon said defeated. He got up and walked outside.

The others started to talk between each other. Bloom stared outside and wondered what was taking them so long.

"Hey guys, what do yo-" Bloom was suddenly cut off by a scream and then a bang.

So what did you guys think? I hope I managed to keep the characters personalities in check. I know Stella may seem a bit different but I think that in fact she isn't as self-centred as everyone thinks she is but that's just me.

Anyway please review and I will update as soon as I can :D
