Second Chance at Love
Chapter: 1
Class Party

Stella's P.O.V

'Stella! Wake up,' a feminine voice spoke.

Someone was poking me whilst I was sleeping. I knew who it was. It could be none other than my best friend, Bloom.

'Go away, Bloom! Let me sleep!' I whispered

'No way Stella! Are you mad?! You can't sleep anymore! We are already late!'

And before I even realized, she had thrown a bucket of cold ice on me.

'BLOOM! WHAT THE FUCK!' I shrieked.

'What? Not my fault! You weren't waking up! If I hadn't thrown that cold ice on you, you wouldn't have woken up either. I know you will thank me later!' She said, her face curving into a wide grin.

'Jeez, what friend wakes up a friend like THIS?!' I whisper-shouted.

'Stop talking and go take a shower. I know you will take an hour,' she said, getting ready.

'I never take an hour Bloom. Stop exaggerating!' This girl can sometimes be sooooooooo ANNOYING! I mean seriously?! What kind of a friend wakes someone like this? She lacks patience. That's her problem.

Nonetheless, I got up and took a shower. Today we were having a class party, so I decided on wearing something nice. I wore a black, silk dress which was tight to my skin but was gorgeous. I did some makeup. A red lip-gloss and eyeliner. I was doing my hair when suddenly my phone buzzed.

I took my phone out to check who messaged me…

You will be my date to the party, Stell… Get ready soon. ~Carter.

It was my best friend, Carter. We were friends since we were little. He never failed to make me smile. He is just like a brother to me…

Okay! :D ~Stella

I set my long, blonde hair loose. I looked good, I'll admit. And I felt beautiful too. Bloom had left before me since Sky came to pick her up. So I got to the party myself…

I entered the party hall only to capture a few gazes from some guys but I ignored it. I was looking for Carter but there was no sign of him, as expected! He was always, ALWAYS late! I thought he would make an exception today but nothing has changed. I am so so mad at him right now! He ruined my total mood.

I was about to head back to the car when I bumped into someone.

'Ow!' I whispered in pain.

'Are you OK, Stella?' a husky voice penetrated my ears. I looked up only to meet a pair of captivating chocolate orbs. It was Brandon, my classmate and my….uh crush! He was wearing a formal black suit looking as handsome and charming as ever. His hair was styled messily which made him look as hot as hell. Also, I didn't miss the chance to notice that we wore matching clothes.

I was so mesmerized by his features that I failed to notice he was holding out his hand as in to make me stand up again.

'Jeez, sorry! I am such a klutz,' I said nervously, taking his hand which immediately sent sparks to every nerve of my body.

Oh my! I am so stupid! Was I staring at him for that long?! Oh no! What will he think of me now?! Someone please screw my LIFE!

'It was my fault! I am so sorry, Stella. I didn't see you coming. By the way, why were you heading back?' he asked politely.

'Oh, I was actually… uh never mind! I was just angry at Carter as he was supposed to be with me but guess what? He is still not here, as usual. But today I'm so mad at him,' I blurted out angrily. I knew Carter and Brandon were best friends too. Carter had mentioned once…

'Oh, Sorry to hear that. Do you mind if we…

'Hey Stell! , sorry I'm late,' Carter said hurriedly cutting off Brandon.

'Oh, yes yes! I am so touched! Hey gentleman, what do you expect me to say?! I am so MAD at you. Why are you always LATE! Do you have any idea how long I was waiting! It was so EXASPERATING!' I yelled at him fiercely.

'Oh my! I have never seen such an angry Stella before! But before you kill me with that glare of yours, hear me out first! I have explanations! Calm down…' He said in a calm voice which irritated me further.

'What lame excuse do you have this time?' I asked angrily. Gosh, I never had such a heated conversation with him before.

'Actually you know my sister, she was making a scene in front of my mom so I got caught in that and not to mention the damn traffic… ugh! Sorry Stell,' he finished with puppy eyes which left me no choice but to forgive him…

'Okay! Fine… You always melt me like this don't you? I said, a smile instantly made its way to my face.

'Yeah!' he then grabbed me by my waist and what I knew next was that we started dancing as the music began.

As we were dancing, I remembered something. OMG! I forgot that Brandon was there when I was arguing with Carter. I looked around to see where he was now but he was nowhere to be found. Sighing, I turned back to Carter. His blue eyes captivating me. He wore a navy, blue coat and in inside he wore a white shirt and a red tie. He was looking handsome, I admit. His greyish black hair was gelled nicely.

'You look hot by the way,' Carter said suddenly with a smirk. I was caught off guard and I felt my cheeks heat up as I shyly replied, 'You don't look too bad yourself.'

We danced for what felt like hours but was only a few minutes surprisingly. I was enjoying so much that when we stopped dancing, I was a bit disappointed. In the distance, I could see Bloom waving at me, ushering me to come to her.

'Give me a minute, Cartie, Bloom is calling me. I'll be right back,' I said and then sprinted towards Bloom.

'What's up, Bloom?' I asked, smiling.

'Hey, have you heard about the latest school gossip?' she asked excitedly.
