Chapter 3 – Problems
It's been 3 weeks since my first date with Brandon, 1 week since I became his girlfriend. Musa is having an on and off relationship with Riven, and just yesterday Flora became Helia's girlfriend. Weird enough, Stella still wasn't in a relationship. I drove to school by myself, a warm Friday morning. I was dressed in black short shorts, a long black cardigan, a pink tank top and pink flats. My black tote bag was on the passenger seat, my phone slipping out. I parked in the school's parking lot and grabbed my tote bag to see Brandon waiting outside the school doors. My hair was on a high ponytail. I walked towards Brandon as he hugged me tightly as I kissed his cheek.
"Hi sweetie." I smiled sweetly as we entered the school.
"How's your morning?" He asked me.
"Just got great." I said, smiling at him. We headed separate ways, the only class I had with him was math. I found the rest of the girls huddling over poor Flora, it seemed like Stella was trying to make her spill something.
"What's up girls?" I said, and Stella looked at me.
"Fashion Popo! Ms. Bloom, you pass! You look gorgeous!" Stella giggled playfully. "Ms. Flora, you pass! Now Ms. Musa, rip that sad look off your face! Ms. Roxy, your tips bring out that yellow shirt! Ms. Tecna, where did you get those shoes?"
"Thank you fashion Popo, but we need Stella back." Roxy laughed.
"I'm here." Stella waved.
"Musa's upset because of Riven's behavior." Flora said, filling me in. I nodded.
"Riven's such a jerk. Musa, you need to send him to the 'ex' zone." Stella said, flipping her blond hair.
"Hey Musa, you gonna skip tonight?" I asked her.
"Nope, not because of a boy am I going to miss the best job of the world!" Musa exclaimed as the bell rang. We all had the same class in the morning, and were surprised to see that all the boys were there.
"Huh." Stella said, and took seat on her assigned seat with me behind her.
"Take a seat, misses. I am planning a field trip." Mr. Kingston said, and there were 'woo!' and 'yay!'(s) Around the class.
"It's about time!" Stella whispered to me. I couldn't help but smile. Mr. Kingston cleared his throat.
"To the forest outside of town." Groans.
"I will assign you into 3 groups of 12." Some yay's, some boo's.
"Ok, I'll start the first group. Mitzy, Alexandra-"Mr. Kingston said, boring the students.
"Ugh, Mitzy needs like 20 tickets." Stella whispered to Flora and me who giggled.
"-James and Karl. Now for the second group. Bloom, Stella, Flora, Musa, Tecna, Roxy-"
"What do you know? We are in the same group!" Roxy exclaimed.
"Better be." Stella muttered.
"Sky, Brandon, Helia, Riven, Timmy and Jesse." Mr. Kingston said, finishing the group. He then started on the next group, droning the students with their own names.
"Did you hear about the party Klaus is having on the Frutti Music Bar? Something about important clients. Its gonna be elegant!" Stella told the girls.
"That's great 'cause I got this cute but elegant dress that I have been dying to use!" I told her.
"And it's the perfect excuse to go shopping!" Stella smiled.
"I do have this dress…" Flora said, drifting off.
"The trip will be on Saturday afternoon. I will meet you all here at the school so we can head to the forest together." Mr. Kingston finished as the bell rang.
"Dang class was short today…" I said, a bit bewildered.
"Even better. But why did the trip have to be on a Saturday?" Stella groaned.
"Who knows? That's Mr. Kingston for you." Tecna said, heading to her locker.
Normal POV
After school, Musa walked outside, slightly depressed. Maybe she did have to send Riven to the ex zone. Someone lightly tapped her shoulder and she turned, only to be kissed. Opening her eyes widely, she noticed magenta hair and violet eyes. It was Riven.
"Hey!" Musa said, pulling away.
"What?" Riven asked her.
"What the frick is wrong with you? You haven't called me, texted me-" Musa was interrupted as Riven once again crashed his lips into her, but this time, Musa didn't pull away. She only deepened it.
"Get a room!" A person shouted at them, but they didn't care. All they cared about was the person that was in front of them.
"Turning 5 all over again?" Bloom turned around to see Sky, and took another sip of her juice box.
"Brings back the old days." Bloom laughed. She was in Gardenia Park, resting by a tree.
"I don't believe you." He said, sitting next to her.
"Typical you." Bloom shrugged, taking another sip of her juice box. Sky took the juice box and held it high. Bloom glared at him as she tried to reach it from her spot. Little did she notice that as she reached, she sat closer to Sky. When she finally got it, she triumphantly took a sip as Sky laughed.
"Ha." Bloom laughed, finishing the juice box. "So, are you going to that party Klaus is hosting?"
"I guess, I really have nothing to do on Friday so I'm all in." Sky smiled.
Flora sighed dreamily as she drew Helia's name over and over again on her notepad. She added a tiny curl at the end of the a, and made a small heart beside it.
Helia.
Her older sister Jasmine slammed at her door, knocking quite rudely. That wasn't the Jasmine Flora knew. The knocking brought Flora back to reality as she tossed her notepad under her bed and hid it behind a pair of heels as she opened the door.
"Flora, I need advise!" Jasmine whined.
"Come in." Flora said as Jasmine collapsed on her bed and broke down. Usually, it was vice versa, but a change is never bad. Flora ran her hand through Jasmine's luxurious caramel brown hair. 'I wish I was as pretty as her.' Flora thought. When Jasmine finally stopped, she faced Flora.
"So I saw Nicholas kissing another girl, as I walked in the Frutti Music Bar after my daily beach run, and it really hurt me how he didn't even push her away, he only pulled her closer!" She hollered, and broke down again.
"Look Jaz, that idiot was a complete jerk; I have told you countless times." Ok, not helping.
"Uh, I mean, you should dump him." Nuh-uh.
"Ok, here's the point, he's been cheating on you for 15 times, and counting. Don't you have enough of him? You are pretty, smart and a hard-working girl, you deserve a better man." Flora finally said, satisfied with her choice of words.
"You really think I'm pretty?" She sniffed.
"Jeez Jaz, don't go all 'Sad Stella' on me." Flora huffed, and then giggled, enclosing her sister in a comfortable hug.
"You're right, Flo. I should just dump him and get over it. How about you and Helia?" She asked Flora, her light green eyes glimmering with excitement.
"I just became his girlfriend." Flora smiled.
"You guys are so cute together!" Jasmine smiled. "You are so lucky."
"I haven't even seen him today, that doesn't mean lucky." I muttered as Miele walked in, carrying a basket filled with roses.
"Uh, Flora? The delivery man said this was to you." Miele said, putting the basket down on the bed and ran out to continue playing with her dolls.
"Look, there's a note." Jasmine pointed out, handing it to Flora.
"You are the rose of my heart, Love, Helia." Flora read out loud.
"AWW!" Jasmine cooed.
"Normally, I would tell you to shut up, but AWW!" Flora laughed, sniffing the batch of flowers.
Everyone's so damn happy.
Except Stella.
The man she was attracted to was with Bloom, Flora with Helia, and possibly Riven with Musa. It wasn't fair. To her, at least. She hated going against her friend, but she wanted Brandon, as in desperate.
Desperate calls desperate measures, right? Right.
Fishing through her closet for a stunning but not too revealing dress, she found the perfect dress. It was perfect, but she made sure it didn't scream 'DESPERATE!' just like she wanted. She placed it over her outfit and posed a bit, and then decided it was perfect for Klaus's party.
Get ready, Brandon. You are going to be wishing you were with me.
Tecna toyed about with her computer, adding anti-viruses and browsing techno songs. She wasn't sure if she wanted to go to that party, but a part of her wanted to, but to see a certain boy, Timmy. The other part said 'Don't humiliate yourself, Tec.' and decided to stick with her first choice. This meant shopping, which meant Stella. Oh boy.
Roxy mentally slapped herself as she saw Jesse wrap his arm around Mitzy, breaking her heart. No, she wasn't going to risk her damn life by saying she liked him; Stella would go bozo and try to pair them up while the rest of the girls saved her butt. She much rather preferred to save her own butt. Sighing, she continued cleaning the bar table as her father commanded employees about; one was arranging a nice chandelier while the other's going over the menu and checking for ingredients. Her father had rented them all nice suits (even the ladies) to wear for the next evening; he was practically ripping his hair apart. Roxy chucked to herself.
"Hey Rox." She looked up to see Jesse.
"Oh! Hey Jesse." Roxy smiled sweetly.
"How are you doing?" He asked her.
"Uh, good I guess? Getting ready for that formal party." Roxy explained.
"Turning a beach themed bar to a formal themed bar? That must be complicated." He chuckled.
"It is. My dad's going bozo." Roxy smiled.
