"5:30 AM." My phone reads as I slightly moan, hitting the alarm on the clock. Even if the alarm tone was my favorite song, "Young and a Menace" by Fall Out Boy, it was still pretty darn loud.

Oh, oops, forgot to introduce myself.

My name is Stella K. Butterfly but, my family and closest friends call me 'Star'. Only because the doctors who were putting my name down thought my mom said 'Stella' instead of 'Star', but you can't blame them since everyone that day was pretty much in a rush. Even my poor dad was in a struggle helping the doctors with labor.

Anyway, I'm fifteen. It's my sophomore year of highschool and to start it all off my parents want us to move from the most loveliest state in town, California, to some reject state that no one even visits nor have I even heard of, Ohio. Mom says that it's all for the experience and excitement to learn more about the world but I only sit there and laugh at that statement.

First off, we're still in AMERICA so I don't know how this changed anything really.

But that's the first rule in the Butterfly House: "Never question the decisions and actions of Moon Butterfly". Speaking of my mother…

"STAR DEAR! HURRY UP WE'RE GONNA MISS THE PLANE!" She yells from downstairs. That woman, I swear she runs on electricity because she's always the first one up real early.

I rise up, looking around at my empty room with only my blanket, pillow and me in my pink lemonade room. Yep, this is definitely real.

I get up and look at my attire. Black marvel shirt, pink fluffy unicorn pajama shorts, my hair in two high messy buns as I still have my headband with devil horns. To be fair, I'm really gonna miss this calm hot weather in Cali. Sure, we've had disasters here weather-wise, but other than that it's really amazing here especially considering that I grew up here. Tears start falling as the memories I've had here start coming to me. I pop on some headphones, starting to play some Kpop music from Block-B. 'Her' plays as I throw on my black chucks and teal sweater which was hanging on the knob of my closet.

Thoughts hit my head again when I start heading down the stairs. Man I'm really gonna miss it here, saying goodbye to all my friends wasn't as easy as I expected it to be. They all gave me wishes of good luck and even gave me gifts too which made me tear up on the last day of school. My thoughts are interrupted as I bump into my dad, who still looked pretty tucked out.

I chuckled. "Hey dad, the bed's that way."

"I wish it was, otherwise your crazy mother wouldn't have made us sleep on the floor." He grumbles, stretching a little.

"Yeah what was her deal, she could've waited till' today to do all that."

"She wanted the house to be prepped and prepared before we got there, even though I thought out it hesitantly. Them prepping the house early before we arrive means they're gonna go through our things!" The little man exclaimed.

I couldn't help but laugh. "Dad, they're not authorized to do that. Besides, I'm pretty sure mom would sue them if they did that."

"But Star, you never know. We're a little rich enough to get the house your mother and I got for us so I'm pretty sure they're thinking about it."

"Dad calm down 'kay? I'm sure it's not that big of a deal." I finally replied, hugging him. "Are you upset because you don't want to move?"

He sighed as he hugged me back. "Yeah. It's just, I got such a nice company and with this move I'm going to have to rebuild my entire empire again."

I kissed his forehead. "Well your a tough man in a tiny package. If you could make one big corporation you can pull off another."

"I'm surprised you're okay with this. Aren't sad too? You're gonna end up leaving your track team and that band you love so much."

He wasn't lying, in fact I was petty ticked at the fact that we were moving and I have to leave my legacy like he does. But with the beautiful friendship that me and my dad have, I had to at least seem strong to him so he can get past it too.

I smiled. "Nah, it's not that bad. I head Columbus has a lot of cool places and they're school that mom is sending me to has the most amazing band and track team! So if I can be happy about this then old man you sure can."

A gummy smile appeared on my father's face. "Alright Star. I'll try to be more positive about this. For you and your mother."

We shared one more hug before we both entered the kitchen with my mom who was on a important business call. She looks over at us and motions 'There you two are! Now hurry up and get in the car!' We follow her silent instructions, heading to my dad's pickup truck. My dad goes to the garage, talking to a few people who were interested in buying the house as I sit in the back of the truck, going on my phone and heading to another playlist on spotify.

"Stella." I hear as my head perks up. I turn to see a very unwelcoming look.

"Oskar?" I reply as I see the very sad look on his face. Oskar is my ex who turned into a very good male friend of mine, even though he has his moments of asking me back but I decline everytime he makes a move.

He still stands outside my window with this puppy dog look in his eyes and I become annoyed.

I break the ice. "I told you not to call me that, it's Star-"

"Do you really have to go?" He cuts me off as I look back in his eyes.

"Yes mister No-Name-Kid, I told you this when you continued to call me this entire summer."

"B-b-but, it won't be the same without you-! I still love you and everyday I know that you're gone Stella I'm gonna get very sad."

"Oh my god, Oskar you're right! I guess I'll have to run away from my parents and live in your apartment!" I say in a Juliet-like tone as his eyes widen. I laugh as the spark in his eyes fades. "Oskar I was being sarcastic."

"But-"

"Look," I cut him off. "You're a reaaally nice guy and even though we dated for two months I'm still care for you, just not romantically. Oskar, we dated literally six months ago, you need to get over me and go find another girl worth your time."

My parents come up to the truck finally, my mom hugging Oskar as she enters the front and my dad waving to him as he goes to the driver seat and starts the truck up. I roll my window up as the car starts, waving back to Oskar as he still has that puppy face. I almost feel bad for leaving him like this, but seeing as he was the one who dumped me and left me six months ago and how I was lovestruck towards him for weeks until i finally got over him, I don't really feel that bad.

I wave and mouth 'Bye Oskar' as the truck moves, leaving Oskar in the street looking at the moving vehicle. I tilt my head back, lifting my phone up and playing 'Young Volcanoes' by Fall Out Boy. My headphones blasting as I close my eyes slowly.

We're really doing it. We're moving. Goodbye Oskar Greeson. Goodbye California.

Many hours after the flight, we finally arrive in Ohio, Columbus. It's a little cold over here, but my mom says it's supposed to be a little cold since we're in September and it's Fall. You know, one of those slow seasons that was originally called Autumn. Though we didn't really have any other seasons beside summer in Cali, this is gonna take some time to get use to.

I look out the window as my dad dives us to the house. Some nice houses I guess. I mean they were pretty big, big enough to fit a family of seven or eight. My dad pulls in a house which looks pretty tall and big. Dark red and brown brick house, it looked really nice, nicer than our house in Cali. I could also see that the house was fixed up a bit by the guys who brought our stuff here.

Mom must've paid them extra I'm sure. As dad parks the truck, my mom and I walked out, looking at the house in awe.

"Woahhh." I say in awe.

"I know right! Isn't it amazing?" My mother exclaimed, running inside the house. I followed her, getting a glance at the already furnished house. I'll have to give my parents props, this house was really nice and I looked forward to living in it.

"Almost reminds you of home don't it?" I hear my mom sniffle as she nods her head in agreement.

"Oh Star, I know how much you didn't wanna move away from California, trust me, I didn't either. But i feel like everything in this place will open up so many new opportunities for us, your father included. So many new friends and maybe even a new boyfriend if your that lucky."

I blush. "Mom! Please, no. If anything I'm gonna look forward to that band and track team you told me about."

My mom laughs as she hugs me tightly. "Just know that no matter what happens, I'll always love you dear."

"I love you too." I reply softly, hugging her back. We pull away as she hands me a few papers.

I raise an eyebrow. "What's these?"

"Your school papers. It has your dorm number, schedule, locker and everything."

"Wait, dorm? I thought this was highschool not college."

She chuckled lightly. "It is a highschool, but there are dorm buildings in the middle of the campus, it's like a little town down at Oak Park Highschool. But don't worry, you'll only have a free week here and you'll have to move up there on saturday so don't worry."

I nod unsurely as I take the papers and head upstairs as my mom runs over to my dad who enters the house. Big hallway too, but only I can recognize where I'm sure my mom placed me. Nice room at the end of the hallway, one big window in the back and the other on the side. I open the door where I expected my room to be, and as I expected it was there with all my stuff rightfully placed. I lay on my bed, looking up at the ceiling fan as it goes.

Well, nice house so far and my room is pretty big. Also considering the fact that I have a walk in closet and a bathroom, finally. Not really as bad as I expected but my parents are somewhat rich enough to maintain a house like this so I'm only surprised a little. I look out the window as my parents greet the neighbors. They look nice I suppose. Another rich-ish family comes to greet my parents as well.

''Is everyone in this neighborhood unquestionably rich looking a nice?'' I whisper to myself.

"Nah, only the snobby families on this block.' someone replies as I yelp, nearly falling off my bed.

I look out the window to some random girl, about my age, with a pink curly short mohawk, it only looked partly shaved tho since her hair was long, hot pink and curly itself. She was wearing a black cami with a jean jacket on, some black leggings and pink converse highs. She looked like those hardcore girls with all those piercings and that really pretty necklace she wore and to top it all off with her rich caramel skin which made her outfit look as amazingly hot as it did.

She laughed as she twirled in her outfit. "You like what you see girl? It's my own collection. I tend to go a lil' bit cray-cray sometimes."

I chuckle a bit. She's pretty funny.

"Yeah, you look amazing." I finally reply.

"Annnnd you." she began, examining me from her window which was as big as mine. "You lookin' pretty comfortable over there girl."

I sit criss cross slightly chuckling at her comment. "Heh, thanks. The name's Stella by the way, but I prefer to be called Star."

The girl cocked her head to the side. "How come though? Stella is a pretty cute name."

"Meh, long story, but I was originally supposed to be named Star instead of Stella. The doctors messed up my name tag though so I'm stuck with that as my real name."

"Ohhhh, I see, I see. Well, I hate ma' name too girl! But I'mma call you B-Fly for short, if that's cool wit' you?"

I nodded.

"Nice! Also don't worry 'bout a thing girl cuz' I hate my name as much as you hate yours."

"What's yours?"

"Pauline Elizabeth James-Sawyer." She replied in an irritated tone.

"Woah! Two last names?"

"Yeah, ma' dad got married, then divorced and refuses to change that damned name. Unfortunately me and one of my older sisters got stuck with that last name." She huffs and I laugh a little bit.

She continues. "But, I'mma party girl, and all ma' friends know me well as Pony Head!"

"Pony Head?"

"Don't ask. This club had a halloween party and I was a horse. They started playing that one stripper song, Pony, and I was drunk…..you do that math girl."

"Ahh okay, so you like to bend the rules a little?" I joke as Pony flips her hair all sassy-like.

"Well I mean, when you're at Oak Park Campus and they chose to put a party zone there you already know how crazy it's gonna get."

"Heh, I see."

Pony gets a glance at my room and jumps excitingly. "Hey girl, since you're new and stuff you wanna hang and get to know this town a lil' bit better? I'm guessin' that you're goin' to Oak Park too so I outta show ya' around the campus."

I light up a little bit. "Sure! That sounds pretty nice!"

I exchange my shorts for some dark blue ripped skinny jeans and throw on my chucks and sweater. Also grabbing my phone and wallet in case I spot a nice fast food place in the campus. I brush past my parents who are being welcomed by more people, waving to them as they wave back.

Finally I meet outside with Pony who's already outside my house in a black and pink camaro. Holy balls is this girl rich or what?!

I hear her blasting a familiar song from a Kpop group as my eyes light up.

"You listen to Blackpink?!" I exclaim as she nods.

"Hell yes I do! Them girls give me so much life you don't understand! You a Kpoper too?"

I nod my head quickly and excitingly as I jump in the car. There was no roof so I felt the need to be extra and hop throws some black shades on as she hands me some golden and brown ones.

Gucci sunglasses? Who is this girl and why is she so loaded?

I put the glasses on and she turns to me with a smirk marking on her red velvet colored lips.

"B-Fly, I think me and you are gonna be good friends girl." she says as she drives off.

We finally arrive to Oak Park's Campus, and holy balls is it huge. My mom was right, it was like a small little town in another town, with a plaza on one side, a big building with dorms and the school itself shining in all its glory. Pony went up to the security gate.

"Whhhhy, if it ain't my favorite security guard man. What's up Officer Buff?"

The man in his late thirties didn't seem so amused.

"Hello again Pony Head." he said in this weird accent. "ID please."

She showed him her ID and then he looked over at me impatiently. I stared back at him confused and he only got more and more irritated.

"I need one from you too ya'know." he said in a rude-ish tone.

"Oh umm, I just moved here so I don't really have that yet." I managed to slip out. He took another good look at me and then finally got the memo.

"Ah okay then." he said with a more brighter look. "You didn't really look familiar and I was wondering if you were new or not."

That's more like it. He opened the gate and Pony finally drove off. She parked her car in her designated spot and stopped the car.

I sighed in relief, getting out the car. "What's up with that guy?"

"Who? Officer Buff? That's just him being him B-Fly. Also, he don't really like me all that much since I've caused a few problems for him last year."

"Heh, that I could see."

So for the rest of the day, Pony shows me around the campus through and through. All the malls, restaurants and stores located within the plaza, some other cool place, even that party center she was telling me about was here. It seemed kinda nice knowing I was gonna be staying here, this looked like that 'teenager heaven' I've always wanted to go to. After awhile, Pony and me stop touring around the campus to take a pit stop at Starbucks, which was pretty big too.

Pony offered to pay but even though she had a lot of money I couldn't let her do that, not now since all she's done for me was be completely nice to me. So I told her I'd buy my own drink. I only get my usual, Java Chip Frappe' with extra mocha and whipped cream with a cinnamon bun that has extra brown sugar and frosting.

As I take all the stuff I ordered, I head to where Pony was sitting. A booth that was located by the window that showed the orange and pink sky as the sun setted.

"You look like you ready to eat girl." She chuckled lightly as I sat.

"Yeah, I feel like ever since I got her I haven't been able to do that, ha."

"Well, I don't know how ya' gonna drink your frappe' without a straw." she pointed to my cup which indeed was missing a straw.

"Aw snap! Lemme go fetch one!" I say as I get up and run over to the small table that has the straws. Except instead of turning back to go to the table right away, I bump into a very strong figure, falling on my butt too if they hadn't caught me.

"Excuse me." I say lightly as I look up at the person who caught me. They...HE looked memorizing. He wore a black jacket over a red hoodie, with his hair parted to only show one eyebrow and the rest of his hair tucked in a black beanie. He had black ripped jeans and black tims, and topped it all off with alluring fingerless gloves. The scent that stayed on him was fresh cinnamon and brown sugar like my cinnamon bun, his rich caramel skin only made his appearance even more alluring.

Holy crap, I gotta stop staring at this guy or he's gonna think I'm weird. But I can't even get the words out my mouth as he lifts me up slowly. My eyes still rest on him as he stares right back at me.

Only, he's waving his hand to see if I'm still alive, which most likely, I'm not.

"Uh….you there?" He manages to say as I shake my head to regain consciousness.

"Yeah, um...errr...I'm good." I finally manage to say.

He smirks slightly which makes my heart melt. "Good."

Get yourself together girl! You only just met the guy for crying out loud stop acting like he's the greatest thing since sliced bread! But I can't. He's so, gorgeous it's hard to take my eyes off him. That smell, his skin, even that small mole on his face it only made him much more cuter. He turns away from me as he spotted the straw I dropped and picks it back up, only to hand it to me.

He brushed his hair out of his face and smirked softly and slowly. "Next time new girl, watch where you're headed."

I glup as he speaks in this amazing deep voice which makes my ovaries explode. He walks back in line and I walk slowly backwards, plopping in my seat still looking at him.

Pony gushed as she hugged me by the neck. "Ohhhhhh girl! I see you found yo'self a hot specimen."

"Yeah...who is that guy?"

"That hot mexican banger right there is Marco Diaz. One of the hottest boys down the block. He makes you pregnant just by staring at you." Pony described, and I can tell she wasn't kidding because even the girls in the line were gushing at the appearance of him.

"Buuuut." Pony went on. "I wouldn't waste ya' time B-Fly. He's taken."

I blinked back, pushing Pony off my shoulders.

"What! No I only just got here it's not like I wanna date him or anything like that! C'mon now get real." I exclaimed and Pony only laughed.

"It's okay B-Fly chill!~ Almost every girl here want a piece of that. I'm just telling you he taken already."

As soon as Pony said that, a girl with a slightly beautiful figure with a black jacket, black belly shirt, light blue skinny jeans and converse highs on with blonde hair that had a small teal streak in it entered in. She looked amazing, all the guys were fawning at her and her voluptuous curves. She walked over in the line and stood next to Marco who smirked, kissing her lightly on the lips.

"Woah." was all I could say.

"Yeah, that's Jackie Lynn Thomas. Popular girl in school annnnd MD's girl. They've been pretty tight for four months now."

Four fricking months? That's longer than me and Oskar lasted. I couldn't help but stare at them as they ordered and acted like a loving couple. Marco gave Jackie her stuff as she squealed and kissed him on the lips again. He took his and then they walked out.

I sighed as Pony hugged me tight. "Hey girl don't worry 'bout a thing. There's plenty other cuties like MD in this school. Look forward to that."

I smiled softly. This year in this school is something I did look forward to.
