Stella's P.O.V.

"Can't keep my hands to myself" Musa sang to the beat. "I want it all, no nothing else"

"Could you keep it down? I'm tryna cram some last minute revision into my head" Liam complained, scanning his textbook.

"Give me your all and nothing else" she sang, ignoring his comment. "Oh, I want it all, I want it all, I want it all...can't keep my hands to myself..."

"I mean I could but why would I want to?" I smirked, sining my favourite line, before both of us started going crazy as the beat dropped.

"YOU GUYS!" Liam whined, slamming his face onto the desk.

We were currently in Liam's room, annoying the heck out of him. I mean, what better thing to do on a Sunday night than annoy your friend?

"Calm down dude, it's only like nine" she said.

"Yeah well that's not an issue for people who don't have a huge Chemistry test first period on a Monday morning and still need to get 6 hours of sleep when they have 3 hours worth of revision to do!" he said.

"Why are you even worried? I thought you aced Chemistry?" I asked.

"Still!" he said.

"Okay okay, we'll leave you in peace" Musa said, grabbing her iPod as we left and went back to my room.

"What do you wanna do now?" she asked, slumping down on to the bed.

"Sleep?" I asked.

"Netflix first" she said.

"I'll grab the popcorn" I smiled.

"I'll make myself comfortable" she said, as I walked out of the room.

You're probably wondering what the heck is going on here. Well, I kinda convinced Musa to stay the night because living with Liam and Brandon is harder than you think. Like, they're guys, what do you expect?

And yes, I'm aware it's a school night, but I used the power of pizza to bribe her so it's all good.

As I sped down the stairs and made a left turn to the kitchen, I almost bumped into Brandon, who had a plate of hot cheesy nachos in his hand. Luckily, my awesome reflexes kicked in, causing me to dodge him swiftly, saving me from being covered in boiling hot cheese.

Just kidding - I'm the clumsiest person you'll ever meet, I just got lucky this time.

"Damn, slow down!" he snapped.

I rolled my eyes and reached out to get a chip, but he swatted my hand away.

"Ow!" I shrieked.

"Hands off blondie" he said, shoving past me.

"Greedy" I mumbled under my breath, as I got the microwavable popcorn out of the pantry and threw it in the microwave. I grabbed a bowl and placed it on the table as I hopped up onto the counter and waited.

All of a sudden, my ringtone went off as my phone violently vibrated in my pocket, making me jump. I answered it straight away without looking at the caller ID.

"Hello?"

"Hey sweetie"

"Mom!"

"How are you? Are you being good? Did you get in to any trouble?"

"No mom, relax. I'm fine, and I'm behaving perfectly"

"Are you sure? Can I speak to Isabel?"

"Okay but I'm telling you, I'm completely innocent" I said, walking into the living room to give the phone to Brandon's mom.

"Isabel, my mom wants to talk to you" I said, handing the phone to her.

I started walking back up the stairs, but then I remembered...

"The popcorn - oh shit!" I muttered, running back down and sprinting to the kitchen. I immediately opened the microwave, and the popcorn was done. Any longer, and it would've exploded. I opened the bag and put it in the bowl, then went back upstairs to see my laptop already on and the latest PLL episode about to play.

"Just in time" Musa said, as I sat down next to her.


"Psst! Stel! Wake up!" someone whispered. I let out a loud yawn and turned over to see Musa on her phone lurking on Instagram.

"It's Monday, ugh." I groaned.

"I know right" she said, scrunching up her nose.

"What time is it?" I asked.

"6:15" she said.

"Well I'm gonna lay in bed for the next half an hour" I whispered, snuggling into the duvet.

"I'm kidding its like 7" she said.

"You gave me false hope?!" I said, as my eyes shot open.

"Brandon's mom is making pancakes" she shrugged.

"Well what are we waiting for? Get ready, I want to enjoy those pancakes on the couch, not eat them next to my locker at school" I said, getting out of bed.

"I'm gonna check if Liam's awake. How much you wanna bet the little nerd fell asleep studying?" Musa asked.

"Aw, he's not a nerd Muse. He's just extremely worried about not getting into that higher Chem with all those hot girls, you know him" I laughed.

"HOLY SHIT" Liam suddenly yelled from the other room.

"Why is he shouting, it's only 7?" I said.

"Yeah, I know. I changed his phone time to an hour forward" Musa shrugged.

"Well I'm gonna go tell him before he gets a heart attack" I said, walking to his room.

"Why you still here Stel?" Liam asked, rushing around to find a shirt in the huge pile of laundry in his closet.

"This is why you should never invite Musa over" I said, grabbing his phone and changing it back.

"What? You mean I have like half an hour? God I hate you guys" he said.

"We love you too. And hurry up before those pancakes run out" I grinned, walking to the bathroom.

After I got ready, I went downstairs and joined Musa at the table.

"Morning Stella. You sure you guys don't want me to convince Brandon to give you a ride to school?" Isabel asked.

"It's fine, really. And anyways, it's not like he's is gonna let me anywhere near his precious little car" I mumbled, digging into my food.

"Can I get 3 litres of coffee pronto?" Liam said, stumbling into the kitchen like a drunk mess, but instead of being wasted, he was just half asleep.

"How late did you stay up last night?" Isabel said.

"Like...until half past 3, but it's gonna pay off" he yawned.

"You mean when you fall asleep in the middle of class?" Musa asked.

"Nah, I'll be drinking caffeine the whole lesson" he said, sliding on the bar stool.

"They don't let you drink coffee in class" I laughed.

"So? I'll sneak it in" he shrugged.

"Hey, I don't wanna hear another complaint about you soaking school textbooks in Mocha Frappuccinos, okay?" Isabel warned.

"Fine, but I'm still gonna ace that test, you'll see" he said.

"So anyways, Bloom just got a new kitten called Meredith and since she's going to Venice with her family for spring break, she needs someone to kittysit" Musa said.

"BLOOMY GOT A CAT AND DIDN'T TELL ME?!" I squealed, spitting my juice everywhere. "Oh god, so sorry Isabel"

"It's fine sweetie, I was gonna mop anyway" she said.

"She posted like a million pics, didn't you see them?" Musa asked.

"No, I haven't checked social media for a bit actually" I said, whipping out my phone.

"AWWW HOLY SCHNITZEL SHE HAS LITTLE THUMBS!" I screamed in a baby voice at the overload of cuteness of the picture, which was of a tiny ginger and white munchkin cat with big jade eyes.

You see, I have this thing with small, cute creatures. I mean who doesn't?

"Damn girl, remind me never to get you a pet for your birthday" Musa scoffed.

"Honey be careful I just mopp-" Isabel started, but got interrupted by the loud thump of Brandon slipping and hitting the floor.

"And you call me clumsy" I said.

"Shut it blondie" he growled, getting up.

"Back to the point" Musa said, clearing her throat. "She called me this morning and-"

"And?" I asked.

"And she asked if you would be alright with keeping her at your house but-"

"But?!" I asked.

"Let me finish! She said that I have to supervise you so that you don't feed her candy or give into her adorableness" she said.

"Why would I feed a cat candy?" I asked.

"Because your a retard like that" Brandon scoffed.

My mouth suddenly swung open.

"Oh no you didn't" I said, glaring at him.

"I think it would be best if you lot get going now" Isabel said, before anything could escalate.

"Yeah, I gotta finish revising" Liam said, attempting to stretch but instead just falling off his chair. "My freaking back"

"Lets go" I sighed, grabbing his arm and dragging him upright.


"Stel are you sure you can handle it?" Bloom asked.

"3 weeks is nothing, trust me. We're gonna watch Netflix together and have jam sessions together and eat pizza together-"

"Dude, you're trusting her to look after a cat you've only had for a couple days?" Musa asked, stuffing her face with Doritos in uncertainty.

"I'm fine with it as long as you do the pizza eating, not her. Meredith needs to be fed 3 times a day, and don't give her treats too often" Bloom said.

"I got it, just trust me Bloom" I said.

"We'll talk about it later, I gotta go to class, see you guys at lunch" Bloom said, disappearing the sea of students as the bell rang.

"What you got?" I asked.

"PE, I gotta go throw golfballs at the team, catch you later" Musa said, waving around her humungous bag of balls.

"Have fun" I yelled, as I made my way to my next class, Chemistry.

"Sup Stel" Sky said, playing with the flasks.

"The ceiling" I joked.

Yes, I'm aware my jokes are more outdated than that mouldy cheese in the back of your fridge, but I can't help it, okay?

"Where'd the teacher go?" Riven asked.

"She fled the classroom when Brandon walked in. You know, him and Stella in the same classroom, not a good idea..." Sky said, turning my attention to the devil himself, who was standing at the door.

"What are we even supposed to be doing?" I asked.

"She said do the questions on the board and continue with the experiment part of the project for this week" he said.

"Move over" Brandon muttered pushing me out of the way.

"Someone's on their time of the month, huh?" I mumbled to the others, who were trying to not burst into laughter.

"Says the bipolar bitch herself" he said.

"Excuse me? I am SO NOT bipolar!" I screamed, catching everyone's attention.

"Only two seconds ago you were all happy, and now you're angry, so do the math...if your mentally capable that is" he sniggered.

He did not just go there.

"Oh so you wanna talk about mental abilities now, something YOU clearly don't have" I hissed.

"Coming from the blonde herself" he said.

In the heat of the moment, I couldn't really think of a good enough comeback so I grabbed the nearest spray bottle and spritzed away, but it didn't seem to be causing him any pain.

"That's water" Riven whispered.

"Dang it, I though I picked up the lemon juice" I pouted.

As soon I tuned my head, I felt my shirt soak up. I looked back and saw Brandon with a spray bottle of his own, and it soon escalated into a very hasty water fight.

"Miss Elliot 6 o'clock!" A girl suddenly shrieked, standing at the door.

"I wanna choke you with glass" I growled, as my hair cascaded down from my ponytail after Brandon literally snipped my hairband. He was aiming for my hair, and man if those scissors cut a single hair on my head, the boy wouldn't be alive at his moment.

"She's going to fucking murder you guys" Sky said, snatching both of our weapons - or lab equipments rather - then putting them away hurriedly.

Everyone suddenly went back to where they were sitting and got back to whatever they were doing, leaving Brandon and I in the middle of the room sopping wet.

"SHIT" we both yelled simultaneously as realisation dawned on us, looking at each other in desperation.

"She's gonna skin us alive" I gulped, wringing my hair out like it was a shirt.

"Now that is the understatement of the century" Brandon, wiping the table with a cloth and making everything look as neat and normal as possible.

"She's coming!" some girl whispered.

"And that is how to get a reaction out of an alkali metal" I smiled sweetly, as I dumped the piece of metal in the glass tube. "Oh hi miss Elliot"

"Morning Stella...is there a reason the both of you are drenched?" she asked, walking closer as I trembled under her glare.

"Um, the rain?" Brandon said. My palm flew to my forehead and made a slapping sound so loud you could hear in down in Australia.

Rain? This is California, fucking moron. Its 80 freaking degrees out.

And he calls me the dumbass...

"He means, um, we both just...had a little accident with the water fountain, you know, you should get that thing checked Miss" I said, thinking of something.

"Water fountain huh? No violence?"

"Nope"

"No fights?"

"Nope"

"No water fights?"

"Miss, I'm offended to say the least. How could you accuse me of such childish behaviour? I'm a completely innocent student, I assure you" Brandon said dramatically.

"I'm sure you are" she said, rolling her eyes. "Anyways, I came here to get a couple students. Blake, Austin, Riven and Sky, you're all needed for football practice"

Oh god..she's gonna take them. leaving me...alone...with him.

Fuck my life.

Why can't stupid Brandon get on the team too? I mean he used to, but he quit around the time he became all mean and antisocial.

"Stay out of trouble" she said, before leaving the room.

"Please don't blow each other up" Sky said, as the both of them left.


"MUSA! COME BACK HERE! I'M NOT DONE YELLING YET!" Liam screeched at the top of his lugs, as Musa skipped around laughing her ass off.

Why you ask?

Well, it's currently lunch, and we were in the hallways on our way to the cafeteria, and she kinda set up this date for him with a girl, who he had a low key crush on, named Becky. He was supposed to meet her in the janitors closet - gross, I know - but when he got there, the girl waiting for him wasn't Becky, it was Natalie - a freshman who was kind of insane to say the least. So long story short, she tricked him and now he's super pissed.

"Girl, you should've seen his face when that girl started to lean in to kiss him, it was priceless" She giggled.

"How did you kno what it looked like?" I asked.

"I put a little camera on the shelf and watched the whole thing on my phone!" she said, as she suddenly lost balance and fell on the floor, still dying of laughter.

"ITS NOT FUNNY!" he whined. "SHE WAS ALL UP IN MY FACE AND DESPERATELY NEEDS A BREATH MINT"

"Now now, don't talk about your girlfriend like that" I smirked.

"She's not my girlfriend" he said, clenching his fist so hard that the pack of skittles in his hand exploded.

"YOUNG MAN! CLEAN THIS MESS UP IMMEDIATELY!" A teacher snapped, noticing the rainbow on the floor.

"I can't, I just can't. This is all too much" Musa cried, busting into another fit off giggles as she watched him roll his eyes and unwillingly pick up each and every skittle.

"Stel please make her stop" he groaned.

"Musa, stop annoying him" I said, trying to keep a straight face, but I soon bursted into laughter too.

"That's the last time I'm trusting you and your 'notes'. I mean, how the heck did I fall for it? Your handwriting is totally different to hers and-"

"Okay okay stop whining, I'm sorry. But you gotta admit it was pretty funny" Musa said, as Liam finally finished picking them up and joined us.

"Whatever. Change of subject, I have something to tell you guys" Liam said, looking around before he took some paper out of his bag.

"I failed my Chemistry test" he sighed, passing me the paper, which had an F in the corner.

"WHAT?! Liam Tyler Anderson!" I exclaimed.

"HOW THE HELL DID YOU MANAGE TO FAIL YOU STUDIED ALMOST ALL FREAKING NIGHT BOY!" Musa screamed, shaking his shoulders.

"SIKE! I got an A+" he smirked, ripping off the F, which was apparently a sticker, revealing the real score.

"You fucking scared me" Musa muttered, slapping him on the shoulder.

"Aww, she does care" Liam teased.

"So you didn't fail?" I asked.

"Nope, luckily I had my coffee too keep me up" he said.

"How'd you sneak coffee in?" I asked.

"I put it in one of those coloured water bottle. Damn, those teachers are so clueless you could literally sneak in red wine and get away with it" he said.

"Remind me never to drink from his bottle again" Musa said.

"So, I take it you got an exam in Chemistry too?" Liam asked, grabbing an apple as we stood in the lunch que.

"Nah, we're getting our grades based on this dumb projects we're doing" I said.

"Lucky" he said.

"Not if your stuck in the same group as Jackass" I said.

"That boy thinks he's so smart and shit, but no one can ever beat this nerd in Science" Musa said, swinging her arm around my shoulder.

"Hey! I'm not a nerd, I just like Science that's all." I shrugged.

"Surprising how Maths and Science are so related yet you suck at one of them and ace the other" Liam said.

"Yeah well you don't get blow things up in Math, now do you?" I said, as we sat down on our usual table.

"So what happened anyways? Did you blow him up? Did you pour acid on his face?" Musa asked.

"Nope, but we had a water fight and then almost got caught by Miss. She bought my excuses but she's hella suspicious" I said.

"I told you they sold those pudding cups!" Sky said, sitting down as Bloom and Riven trailed behind them.

"Whatever dude, I didn't say anything" Riven shrugged, putting his hands up in defence.

"Don't ask" Bloom said, noticing our confused expressions.


"You kids sure you're okay here alone?" Isabel asked.

"We'll be fine mom, you guys go ahead" Brandon said.

"If you need anything just call me or ask Liam, okay sweetie?" she said.

"Don't worry, I'll be alright" I said.

"Okay, we'll be back Tuesday the latest, bye!" she said, as Brandon's parents both walked out the door.

Now, you're probably confused as heck. Well it's Friday and Brandon's parents had a last minute business trip to attend, so they're gone for the weekend. Yup, all our parents are out of town.

"Pizza?" Liam asked.

"Duh" I smiled, snatching my phone from the table and calling Dominos.

"Hey, can I get a large Hawaiian pizza and one large pizza with pepperoni, olives, jalapeños and stuffed crust please?" I asked. "You want anything Brandon?"

Fine then, blank me.

"Also, could I get a bottle of Sprite and a bottle Fanta. Okay thanks" I said, ending the call.

"They'll be here in an hour max" I said.

"What do you want to do till then?" Liam asked, laying down on the couch.

"Theres condoms in the bathroom cupboard if you need them" Brandon scoffed, looking at his phone.

"You're so dirty minded" I said, rolling my eyes as I chucked a cushion at his face.

"Oh shit" Liam said, getting up suddenly.

"What now?" I asked.

"What time is it?" he asked.

"5, why?" I asked.

"I have a dentist appointment at 5:15, totally forgot. Brandon imma use your car" he said, running to the kitchen to get the keys.

"But you drive recklessly, you didn't even pass your driving test!" Brandon said.

"Yes I did, on the 10th try" Liam said.

"Just don't scratch my baby or it's your life on the line bro" he said.

"Hey wait you're leaving me alone with him?!" I exclaimed.

"You'll manage, I'll be back in time for pizza okay bye!" he said, rushing out and slamming the door.

Since I had nothing better to do, i went up to my room and went on my phone for a bit, and somehow fell asleep. About 30 minutes later, I woke up to extremely loud music blasting through the house, the smell of beer and alcohol lingering around the place, and the chitter chatter of at least 100 people.

No. Fucking. Way.

THIS ASSHOLE THREW A PARTY?! INTERRUPTING MY NAP TIME?!

Now before you skip to conclusions, let me get this straight. Yes, Brandon is known for being a rude jerk, so it's kinda unbelievable people would actually turn up, but he's also famous for hosting the wildest parties, and when he throws one, EVERYONE comes.

I rubbed my eyes, and got up, walking to towards the door.

Thank god I locked it. If I didn't, I'd wake up to a drunk couple doing it in my room. Vile, I know.

For some weird reason, I looked down at my outfit, which was a pair of black nike skinny sweats, a dark grey cropped hoodie and white converse. Good enough. I mean, it was a party and there were like dozens of people outside.

Coming to think of it, I've never been to one of Brandon's epic parties, but I had no choice this time.

I opened my door and closed it behind me, then jogged downstairs past the crowd of people chilling on the stairs, and entered the living room.

Now, I expected beer pong and couples making out everywhere and all that, but I guess thats just college parties. There were lights everywhere and people in the middle of the room jamming out to the music as if they were on a dance floor. Well, I can't blame them, the music's pretty good. I mean, Brandon's music taste isn't that bad.

Stel, you're supposed to be scolding the jerk not praising him!

My face went back to an angry one, and I marched straight up to the party host himself, who was chugging down a bottle of beer in the kitchen.

"Explain this!" I said.

"Well well gorgeous, I see you've joined the party" he smirked.

"You little shi- wait, what did you call me?" I asked.

"Gorgeous. You look hot when you dress chill like that, you should do it more often" he said.

"First of all, I always wear sweatpants so I do it often anyways, second, yes I know I look hot, and third - what the actual fuck is wrong with you? Are you drunk? No, even drunk Brandon wouldn't say something like that - it must be drugs. What are you on, meth, cocaine, marijuana, crack? I swear to god, if you get me arrested I will legit murd-"

"Shush, you talk too much" he chuckled, getting closer, until he eventually cornered me against the wall.

"Dude I'm not playing, you better stop" I said.

He totally ignored what I said, and just stared at me with curiosity in his eyes, until they landed on my lips.

Hell. to. the. no.

I felt his hot minty breath fanning on my neck and before I knew it, we were literally millimetres apart.

What the actual fuck is going on?

Is he about to-...no, he wouldn't dare..

I noticed his arms were on the wall, near either side of my head, and I quickly used the chance to slide underneath his arm and make a run for it. I pushed through the energetic yet wasted teenagers, while the strong smell of alcohol bombarded my senses and made me shudder. I headed straight for the front door, and as soon as I reached fresh air, I knocked into someone.

"Stella? What's going on?"

"LIAM OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW" I screamed, hugging him.

"Brandon throwing a party again?" he sighed.

"Not only that, he was being nice to me. Like waaayy too nice to me" I said, scrunching my nose up in disgust.

"No way. He tried to hit on you?" he asked.

"No I never said that why would you think that?" I said.

"It's so obvious, I mean only something like that would scare you to the extent of admitting your love for me" he said.

"Shut up" I said, hitting his shoulder.

"Anyways, theres no stopping one of these parties if drunk Brandon is in charge. It'll go on until like 3 or 4 am, so we'll just have to stay in your room till then" he said.

"You're kidding" I said.

"Nope, I have no control over it. We'll just watch movies and eat pizza until we fall asleep." he said.

"Whatever, if they deliver it to the door these bitches will steal it so we can wait for it round the corner." I said, as we walked down the road.

After about 5 minutes, the pizza came and we went back inside, trying not to get attacked by the chaotic mob of people.

"Hey can I have a slice?" some drunk girl slurred, winking at Liam.

"It's poisoned, we're throwing it out" I said, as we walked up the stairs.

"Poisoned my ass" she laughed.

"It's your choice, I mean if you want to puke for 3 hours straight that badly then go ahead" I smiled.

"I'll pass" she said.

"Poisoned? Really?" Liam whispered, as we entered my room, and I locked the door behind me.

"I blanked, then thought of Mean Girls 2, but hey it worked" I shrugged, as we dug in.

After a couple movies, we went to sleep, or at least tried to, but the party was still going on

"Liam?" I yawned.

"Yeah?" he asked.

"I can't sleep" I said.

"Neither can I" he said.

"Ugh why does Brandon have to play his stupid music, my head is pounding, and I didn't even drink!" I exclaimed, looking at the time, which read 4:27 am. "Plus, it's really cold since my duvet covers are in the laundry"

"Theres a couple blankets downstairs. Come on" he said, opening the door. To my surprise, the house was completely empty, but the lights were all on. Red cups, bottle, packets of chips and empty soda cans were scattered all over the place, and no people - thank god.

When we got downstairs, Liam turned the music off and made sure all the doors and windows were locked, while I go the blankets.

"Some party host" Liam scoffed, pointing to Brandon, who was currently passed out on the couch.

"That lazy hog better clean all of this up himself, no matter how bad the hangover is" I said.

"Trust me, he will, since we're both technically guests" he said, as we went back upstairs.

"I'm gonna go back to my room, night Stel" Liam yawned.

"Night" I said, as I got into bed.

"YOU GOTTA BE FUCKING KIDDING ME" Liam yelled from the other room, before running back into my room.

"I am so not sleeping in that room, some moron spilled gatorade all over my bed, topped off with toilet paper and silly string. Like why that combination anyways?" he said.

"Shut up and go to sleep before my head bursts" I groaned, moving up and making space for him.

"I know, you'd much rather it be Brandon next you" he said.

"Eww never in a million years" I shrieked, literally pushing him off.

"Okay okay I'll stop.


"Wish we could turn back time, to the good ol' days,
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out.
Wish we could turn back time, to the good ol' days,
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out."

The little line of sunshine peeking out of the gap of the closed curtains hit my eye as I let out a yawn and stretched my arms out.

Why is music still playing?

I looked over and saw Liam was gone, then figured out he was probably downstairs, and so I got up and went downstairs too. I walked into the kitchen, where he was making waffles and sining along to the music - really badly though, like Brandon. I guess it runs in their genes, huh?

"Morning" I said, sitting on the barstool. "What up with the waffles?"

"I don't know, I was feeling it" he shrugged.

I looked around and the place was pretty much spotless.

"Hey, what happened to the party aftermath?" I asked.

"Oh I cleaned it all up." he said.

"Seriously? You're way too nice to the asshole. Where is he anyway?" I asked. He pointed at the couch with his spatula, where Brandon was STILL sleeping.

"It's almost 12, he probably knocked out around 2, we went to sleep at 5am, yet we wake up earlier" I said.

"He better pay me for all this hard work" Liam said, turning off the stove as he topped off the waffles with whipped cream, berries and chocolate sauce.

"Yum" I grinned, as I picked up a piece. Just as I was about to eat it, someone's head swooped in and literally ate it off my fork.

"Hey!" I said, looking over to see Brandon, who was finally awake. "You're lucky I'm hungry, otherwise I'd throw this at your face"

"Go ahead Blondie, I can do much worse than waffles" he said, glancing at the hose outside.

At least he's back to normal...

"You owe me 50 for cleaning up your mess" Liam said casually.

"Knock yourself out" Brandon said, rolling his eyes as he pulled out a 50 dollar bill from his pocket and gave it to him.

I'm not even gonna question why the guy keeps 50 bucks in his pocket at all times..

"So anyways, you would not believe what happened to me yesterday at the dentist" Liam started. Oh no, he's about to begin ranting agian, and once it starts, in never stops.

Like never.

"So this bitch, what was her name, Madison? Margaret? Maggie? Oh you know what fuck her name, lets call her dipshit. Okay so dipshit was tryna cut in front of me in line for the soda machine, then when I told her I was first, she started busting out facts about how wearing contact lenses gives you cancer, which is totally irrelevant, ya know? So I had no other choice but to stuff a coffee cup in her mouth to make that woman shut the hell up, and being the responsible teenager I am, I-"

"I'd love to hear more but I have to go to Bloom's house and meet her Kitty" I said.

"Yeah me too" Brandon said.

"Uh, since when?" I asked.

"Since you invited me?" he said.

"I never invited you, neither did Bloom" I said.

"One sec, we'll be right back" Brandon said, grabbing my hand and dragging me into the living room.

"Let me go with you" he said.

"No"

"Please?"

"No"

"Pretty Please?"

"No"

"Oh come on Stella, you don't understand the torture that kid will put me through. After he finishes running his mouth he'll get hungry and then being the lazy shit he is, he's gonna leave with my car again to get donuts, trust me, I've known him for 17 years." He whined.

"So?" I scoffed.

"Last time he said he was gonna get donuts, he drove off to Vegas, and came back 3 days later with my car painted bright red, the windows smashed and 2 tires busted. I have enough of a headache already, just let me come with you, I'll give you a ride? That way he can't take the car." he offered.

"Fine. You owe me" I sighed rolling my eyes. "And I still hate you, don't get any ideas".

"Thanks Blondie" He said.

"Turns out Sky invited this moron over to help him with his Sociology project, and Bloom's got some good hangover cures. Will you be good here alone?" I asked.

"I'm gonna go get donuts" Liam huffed, frustratedly.

I guess he was right.

"Well you'll have to walk, sorry bro" Brandon said, as he zoomed out the door and into his car.

"Wait, we can't leave now. I'm wearing pyjamas, and so are you" I said.

"Who cares, you look fine, now get in idiot" he hissed.

"Damn okay calm down" I said, getting in the front seat.


"STELLA!" Bloom squealed, opening the door before hugging me.

"And...Brandon?" she questioned, looking behind.

"He was being a whiny little asshole" I muttered.

"Well then you're lucky Sky actually decided to wake up before noon and come over" she said, letting us in.

"So where is she?" I grinned.

"Who, Meredith? Oh she's in the kitch-" Bloom started, but I ran off into the kitchen before she could finish.

"Holy fudgeballs. She's SO. FREAKING. CUTE." I said, staring at the innocent little kitty. Bloom laughed at my eagerness then went to pick her up, and carefully handed her over to me.

"You and Aunty Stellie are gonna have so much fun together" I said, as she nuzzled her little face into my shoudler.

"I'm leaving tomorow, so you can take her toda-"

"TODAY?! I LOVE YOU BLOOMY THANK YOU!" I squealed.

"I assume when I have kids you'll adopt them too huh?" she mumbled.

"Lets go to my room, Sky brought his video games over again, and you know how much noise those damn rifle guns make" Bloom said, as we went up the stairs and entered her room.

"So, spill" Bloom said, shutting the door as I slumped into the beanbag.

"Spill what?" I asked.

"Why jackass offered you a ride, and why he's here right now?" she said.

"Oh, long story" I said.

"I got time" she smirked.

"Well he threw this dumb party last night and I got like barely any sleep, then in the morning he woke up all hangover, and as soon and Liam opened his mouth, the guy begged me to bring him along. Apparently he's scared of him crashing his car and going to Vegas - which is a Liam move to be honest, but still" I said.

"He's just making excuses, he only came here for one reason" she said.

"And whats that?" I asked.

"To plot his evil plans downstairs with Sky on how to annoy you further, as if him coming along wasn't enough" she scoffed.

"Yeah.." I said.

"Whats wrong? You look deep in thought" she said.

"Some weird shit went down yesterday at that party" I said.

"Continue.." she said curiously.

"He was being all nice to me, like really nice to me, complementing me and stuff, then all of a sudden he tried to-"

"To punch you?"

"No"

"To pour drinks on you?"

"No"

"To poison you?"

"No no no, just let me finish. He tried to...well..kiss me. I mean I dont know for sure but he was acting weird and-"

"Back the fuck up. HE TRIED TO MAKE A MOVE?!" Bloom screamed at the top of her lungs, scaring her cat.

"Shush they might hear you! And you frightened Meredith" I said.

"Sorry, I don't mean to be Drake, but what the heck, this story went from 0-100 real quick, and you know it girl" she said.

"He was drunk" I said.

"So? According to several sources, he's got drunk a million times at his parties and not once as he ever hit on a girl like that" she said. "Ask Sky, Riven, Muse or even Liam"

"But still, it doesn't mean anything" I said.

"Yes it does! He's hated on a million girls just like he's hated on you, but he always acts the same way to them" she said.

"Bloom calm down it's not that big of a dea-"

"OMG! What if he was pretending to be drunk, using it as an excuse to make a move" she exclaimed.

"And why would he do that?" I asked.

"Think about it - he's using the ultimate tactic, he's trying to make it seem like he's confused about his hatred for you, which then confuses you, which gives him the upper hand because while you're all distracted with putting the pieces together, he's making you fall deeper into his trap" she said.

"Dumb it down please?" I asked.

"He's acting bipolar to make it seem like he likes you, so he thinks eventually you'll fall for him, and you'll be wrapped around his finger" she said.

"Dude, that's impossible, he doesn't affiliate with girls in that way, you know that. You're just going wild with your theories again" I said. "it was just one little incident, he's back to normal and that's all that counts, and besides he probably forgot about it"

"Yeah, you're probably right, anyways, PLL marathon and popcorn?"

"You know it" I said.


Hey guys. Okay so I know I took like 2 freaking months, but I was super busy, with school and shit. Plus, I had writers block in the middle of writing this, so yeah, so so sorry about that. I just thought that you guys would prefer long interesting chapters (even though this ones kinda shitty -_-) instead of short useless ones, which is why I took longer. So to point some things out, that moment was technically a Brella moment, but they don't really know it, since Brandon was in fact drunk. And although Bloom's theory sounds like the typical brella storyline, trust me, its just a theory and breaking hearts has nothing to do with them getting together lol. So nuff said, hope you guys liked the chapter and I'll try my best to update earlier, since I have easter break coming up soon. And alot of you really want me to update BB next, so that will indeed be updated for being patient with me haha, tell me what you guys thought :)

Remember to review, love you all 💖
