Stella woke the next morning at 6:00. She pulled on her Victoria's Secret sweatpants, tank top, and hoodie. Stella threw her keys in her pocket along with her cell phone and left the house.
She jogged around the area for an hour, taking in all the buildings. After a shower and a much-needed trip to Whole Foods, Stella arrived to a place she thought might make a stable home. 10064 Toluca Lake Avenue. She smiled at her refrigerator and thought, One last thing. She grabbed her keys and ran across the street to Starbucks.
Stella arrived at Starbucks amid the noontime rush. She waited for her drink at the tall table by the back wall. She impatiently tapped her foot and stared at the floor. She noticed a piece of paper scrunched between her chair seat and the wall. Stella pulled it out and skimmed it.
Cameron, thanks so much for everything you and the guys have done! We appreciate and love you so much! These girls would love it if you followed them on Twitter:
KissingQuiseng
KendrickAllStar
MikeyIsMyG
QuiQuiGimmeTheD
And I'm IlianaThompson
Keep doing what you're doing! We love you!
"Stella!" The barista yelled rudely. "Stella!" She leapt up, took the drink, and walked back to her house.
"Cameron?" She muttered. "Why would this girl get a list of Twitters?" Stella sat at her laptop, impatiently waiting for it to turn on. She typed in each of the girls' Twitters, seeing if they had anything in common.
"Kissing Quiseng? How do you say that? Kwee-seng? Kiss-eng? Quiche-eng?" Stella muttered. "Allstar Weekend." She muttered scrolling through the first Twitter. She found the second. "Anna Kendrick and Allstar Weekend." The third and fourth were Allstar Weekend fan Twitters. "Who is Allstar Weekend?" Stella said, frustrated. "Who the hell am I supposed to get this back to? Who is this Cameron kid?"
Stella typed "Allstar Weekend" into Google. She clicked on their website. A band? She thought. Stella clicked on their second video. Blame it on September? Stella scrunched her nose and closed the tab. She typed "Cameron Quiseng" into Google. After clicking on his Twitter she laughed and said,
"What a dork." Stella sighed and found the IlianaThompson Twitter. She tweeted " IlianaThompson Found your Cameron list Starbucks Can I get it back to you?"
" StellaHella YES! Can we meet at Starbucks?"
" IlianaThompson be there 8:00."
Stella smiled. "Girl Scout good deed of the day accomplished. It's only one o'clock. What other good can I do in the world?" Stella felt an unfamiliar pull-curiosity. Her mother being in the drug business, Stella was taught curiosity was a bad, deadly thing. But now ... she thought.
Stella typed "Allstar Weekend" into Google, then Youtube, and clicked on their most popular video. Journey to the End of my Life? That's depressing. Stella thought. This video is from five years ago? What on earth? She watched the video and couldn't help but smile. The one in front was like a scrawny little lead singer. The boys in the back thought their guitar tricks were just the coolest thing. They were like little kids. Let's find something from this decade, shall we?
Stella looked through the most popular videos again. Life As We Know It? Recent. They're not babies anymore, that's for sure. Is that strip poker? Stella raised her eyebrows.
"Well, I did not see that coming." She admitted to herself. She slammed down her laptop lid. "Eight o'clock."
