Chapter 9: Practice Makes Perfect

Dear Readers,

I am now working on a Stella story called "Winx Club Stella: The Solarian Princess," please read it if you can! And review! Thanks!

Stella's P.O.V

He was just right there, looking at me. Should I have just walk away? Or should I just talk to him? I think he has something to explain. But I wonder what it is. Maybe it's just a plan to get me back. Should I trust him? Maybe... I shouldn't.

"Stella," he said.

"What do you want Brandon?" I asked with anger.

"I need to explain something to you," he said while looking at me.

Was I right? What about Damian? He's a handsome guy... I think I'm in love with him.

"What is there to explain? You have Minnie! She should me a ring! You bought it for her and not for me! Is there anything else you want to tell me before I tell you what you done to her and not me?" I asked with anger. I was turning red. My face was all red. Suddenly, my father came.

"Stella, trust me. He has something to explain," he said. Then, Damian came.

"Stella! You should leave these people, you don't even know them," he shouted.

"Excuse me," my father said, "I am her father! Give her respect!"

"Oh, I'm sorry. I had no idea you we're her father. I'm sorry your highness," he said while bowing away. "Call me if you need help," he whispered in my ears. He left, then my father looked at me.

"Stella, tell me who in the world he is," he said.

"He's my friend. He's been helping me," I said while looking away.

"Oh," he said, "I had no idea Stella. Please forgive me," he said.

"It's okay. And will you guys excuse me, I have a beauty contest practice tomorrow," I said while leaving.

"Stella!" Brandon shouted. I noticed people starring at me. I didn't care, and I will never care. I'm being myself and I won't let anyone to tell me what to do. Not even Minnie. Sure I believed in her once, but I'm not letting her to mess with my future. She may be better then me, but she will never tell me on what to do. I am myself, and I will always be myself.

Layla's P.O.V

So Nabu and I are at the shoe shop. I saw very wonderful shoes. I wanted to buy them, but finding Stella is more important then buying shoes. I have a feeling, I'm acting like Stella.

Anyways, I saw Brandon and King Radius walking. Stella wasn't with them, so I picked up Nabu's arm, and we went outside.

"So, where is she?" Nabu asked.

"We've tried," Brandon said, "she just doesn't want to listen to me."

"You should plan on what you should be doing before you talk to her," Nabu suggested. Then the rest came with us.

"She ran away huh?" Riven asked.

"Yes, she has a new friend," King Radius replied.

"Friend? What kind of friend?" I asked. I was confused, who is this friend.

"I agree, who is this 'friend?'" Bloom asked while acting mysterious.

"She has a friend named Damian. He has a tan, with blonde hair," Brandon said, "but more tanner."

"Looks like he spends more time outside then inside," Sky said.

"Yeah, so, what do we do now?" Musa asked.

"Maybe we should find her," I suggsted.

"No, it's too late," Tecna replied.

"Oh, where do we stay?" Flora asked.

"Do you guys have school tomorrow?" King Radius asked.

"Not for the whole next week. Preparations are being prepared," Flora said.

"Well, you could stay in Solaria until we find Stella," King Radius suggested. I looked at the others. They we're surprised. "Is that a yes or no?"

"Yes," Bloom said. She looked at us, and we nodded.

"Okay, I guess we should go now. Right Brandon?" King Radius asked. He nodded. Timmy took us to the ship, and we went on it. I guess I'll be lonely without Stella.

Damian's P.O.V

Those people, that guy with brown hair, and the man who looked like he was a king of something, they act strange. I wonder if that was the guy Stella explained to me. And also, where is Stella?

"Damian!" someone shouted. When I turned around, I saw Stella.

"Stella! I thought you we're with your father," I asked.

"No, I've been mad at him even though we already forgave each other," she replied.

"Oh, you should make up. He's your father," I said, "And what happened?"

"Well, we had a long story," she said. She explained me it while we we're walking to my house. I don't even know if there's a room for her. I live with my mother.

"And that's it?" I asked.

"Yes," she said, "Do you actually mind if I stay with you guys for a while?" I didn't know the answer for that question. My mom is nice, but I don't know if she allows friends to stay with us for a while. I guess she only allows close friends who she knows.

"Well, let's go see," I said while opening the door to my house. I saw my mom sitting down on the couch watching TV, and I could hear my little sisters laughing upstairs.

"Damian!" my mom shouted, "How are—oh, who is this friend you have with you?"

"This is my friend, Stella, she has no place to stay. Do you mind if she can stay with us for a while?" I asked. I looked at Stella. She looked nervous.

"Well, only if I get to know her well. Come here Stella, sit with me," she said sweetly.

"Okay, Damian, just go," she said while looking at me. I nodded, and I went to my room. I hope that my mom will allow Stella in our house. I don't want her to be with that guy who had hurt her.

End of Chapter 9! Tell me how it was like! Thanks!
