Okay, Ik I update this one a bit late, but I want to do as much a I can for the other one to finish it sooner, so I could update this story more. It kinda confusing, I know, so while you're waiting for a new chapter for this story, go check Forever and Always because that will be updated more often. Okie Dokie, you can get reading now.. (PS, since its its Bella, a lot will be in Stella's P.O.V, but I'll put all of the girls' in as well)

Bloom's P.O.V

It felt like hours later when we got there, and I didn't even want to look in their direction.
"Ahh, home sweet home" I smiled.
"Its so cool we get to stay in your hometown Gardenia!" Flora squealed.
"I thought you were from Domino?" Sky said, scratching his head.
"She is, she grew up here with her adoptive parents, fool!" Musa said.
"Calm down, you don't need to be so bitchy everytime we talk to you" Riven said. Yep, now he's gonna get it.
"Oh no you didn't!" Musa yelled, coming face to face with him.
"GUYS! We are here for a mission, not to try rip each others guts out!" Flora said, pulling them apart.
"She right. Now, according to my holographic map, the house we're staying at is actually right down the road, and then we take a right turn." Tecna said, looking at her phone. We walked to the house, and it was pretty big. Miss F was really generous to give us this instead of a cramped up apartment.
"OH MY GOD!" Stella screamed, walking into the living room.
"What? What is it?" Aisha asked, as we rushed towards her thinking she got attacked or something.
"This colour is BLUEGH. Beige is so last century! This place need a total makeover!" Stella cried.
"STELLA!" We said in unison.
"Don't scream like that, we thought it was an emergency or something" I sighed.
"But it was!" She said.
"We can fix it later, we're going out to eat." Musa said.
"Nah, I'll stay here. Can you guys get me some fries, a bucket of KFC chicken, wait no, actually a wrap..no I mean pizza!" She said.
"Just text me what you want" I smiled.
"Maybe I should stay too. I mean, you can't stay alone without any powers.." Brandon started.
"I can defend myself thank you very much! And I can handle it on my own!" Stella snapped, interrupting him.
We all left and decided where to go for lunch, even that was an argument between us. We settled for chicken, and chilled at KFC for a while. I couldn't help noticing that I was trying to avoid staring at Sky the whole time. God knows why, I felt nervous around him, and I hated him. Or did I? Okay, this is really getting confusing. But I couldn't help it, his perfect features, ocean blue eyes and...wait, am I falling for him? Already? I couldn't, this was a mission, and I need to remember what they did to us last year. My chain of thought were interrupted by my phone ringing, making me jump. It was Stella.
"Bloom, where are you?" She asked.
"KFC, what do you want?" I said.
"Okay, I'll have the bargain bucket, the one with 6 chicken legs and 4 medium fries, an Oreo krushem, thats all" She said.
"We'll be back in like half an hour bye!" I said, going up to the counter to order.

Stella's P.O.V.

I was peacefully asleep when someone woke me up with ice. Yes, thats right, ice!
"AHHHHH" I screamed, falling of the couch.
"Sorry, just had to!" Riven laughed. I'll get the prick back later.
"Firstly, what happened to this place, it looks amazing, and second, you make me wait in the que and buy all this food just to find you asleep?!" Bloom said, with my drink and bucket of chicken in her hands.
"I decorated this place, all by hand! It was so tiring, especially without magic, so I crashed on the couch." I said, digging into the food.
"Seriously, you did ALL this manually?" Brandon snickered.
"HEY! Don't you dare insult my skills!" I snapped. We split up the rooms so it would be me, Bloom and Musa in one room, Aisha, Flora and Tecna in one, Sky, Brandon and Riven in one, and Timmy, Helia and Nabu in the other. Once we got settled into our rooms, I took a shower and changed into my PJs.
"So, what do you think our first day is gonna go?" Musa asked, taking off her headphones and chucking them to the side.
"I don't know. Probably okay, hopefully the jerks won't embarrass us." Bloom sighed.
"I think you have a thing for the blonde one" I laughed, and she blushed.
"I DO NOT!" She said, crossing her arms.
"Judging by the way you were staring at him today, I'm pretty sure ya do!" Musa giggled.
"Yeah, like Stel isn't in LOOOVE with the brunette!" Bloom teased.
"Excuse me!" I said. Just then Brandon walked in.
"So, you're in looove with me?" he smirked, leaning on the door.
"NO! She wasn't talking about you! She was talking about, uh.." I stuttered, thinking of a lie.
"Her boyfriend, Bloom was talking about her boyfriend. He's a brunette as well, but he's like a better, hotter version of you" Musa said. He looked at me raising a brow, and I just nodded.
"Yep. Now GET OUT!" I screamed.
"Geez clam down" he said, shutting the door.
"Thanks Musa. As for you Bloom, I am NOT in love with jerkface!" I said, hopping into bed.
"Whatever you say" Bloom smiled, turning the lights off. Just because I fell for him once, doesn't mean I'll do it again!

The next morning

I heard my alarm go off, and I was the first to wake up. Musa was practically falling off her bed, she probably had a dream about beating up someone, and Bloom was hidden in her pillow. On school days, I'd be the first to wake up because I need time to get ready. I opened the door and sneaked to the kitchen to get a saucepan, and then went into Riven, Sky and Brandon's room.
"This is for the ice!" I whispered, as I picked up the pans and banged them together loudly.
"WAKE UP!" I screamed.
"STELLA! WHAT THE F*CK ITS FIVE AM!" Riven yelled, trying to cover his head with his pillow.
"What is wrong with you woman!" Sky said, trying to grab the pan from my hand.
"just getting you back for pouring ice on me, and also just because I hate you all!" I said. Suddenly, I found myself being chased around the house by Sky and Brandon because I was still banging the pans together, waking everyone up. The girls were laughing, probably because I was doing it to someone other than them. I ran down the stairs and into the living room, with Sky and Brandon catching up.
"Try and catch me if you can!" I giggled. I felt a tight grip on me, and realised I was tackled onto the floor, but not in a threatening way.
"Get off of me now!" I screamed, trying to push Brandon off.
"Why? I'm pretty sure you'd need to get used to this position.." he said.
"You dirty minded..." I screamed.
"Stella! What the hell are you doing?!" Musa asked cutting me off as she walked into the living room with the others.
"I swear to you Musa, its not what it looks like!" I said, finally pushing him off, leaving him laughing his ass of with the rest of them.
"Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to go get ready." I said, dusting myself off and going back to our room. I put on a pair of light wash shorts, a black spaghetti strap corp top, a white knit cardigan and black converse. My hair was in a half up half down hairstyle and I had a bit of makeup on. I grabbed my phone and stashed it into my bag as I ran back down to the kitchen.
"Finally, we can go now." Aisha sighed.
"How are we gonna get there?" Flora asked.
"We can take my SUV, got it last night because I figured we'd need something to get around, and its a 6 seated one." Musa said, picking up her keys.
"Sweet! But how are the guys gonna get there?" Bloom asked.
"Who cares?" I scoffed.
"Riven also got us a ride, so we have our car and you have yours" Nabu said.
"Copycat!" Musa whispered to me. We drove off to Gardenia high, and it was really big. All of us got schedules, and some of us were in the same classes which was good, but there were a couple of classes I was with the devil. More specifically, Brandon. I had Science first, and after spending like 10 minutes searching for the right classroom, I got there.
"Uh...excuse me?" I said, opening the door with all eyes on me.
"Oh, you must be Stella, the new student. Welcome sweetie, I take it the principle has already told you what you need to now, so you can sit on that desk at the back." the teacher smiled. I walked to the back and sat down right next to some guy. But wait, he wasn't just 'some guy', he was like SUPER hot. He had dark black hair, greyish blue eyes, was really fit and muscular and had the cutest smirk ever! Hold on, he was smirking at me? Guess it's a good sign. He looked like one of those bad boys, who get all the girls because they're players, but maybe he's different?
"Hey, Stella right? Can I call you Stel?" He asked. I nodded, surprised he was even talking to me.
"I'm Steele. Daniel Steele. You can call me Dan though" he said. Nicknames? Okay, this is going somewhere, so just go with the flow Stel.
"Nice to meet you. You know what? You're literally the mirror image of Diego Barrueco" I said, examining his face.
"Who?" He laughed.
"Super hot Spanish model" I said, showing a pic of him from my phone. Yes, I am a crazy stalking fangirl, okay?
"So you think I'm super hot?" he smirked. Oh god.. should I flirt, or not? Come on Stella, get your confidence back! I just smirked back, he probably figured it out.
"Right, Stel. Where are you from?" he asked.
"Solari- I mean, uh, Los Angeles." I stuttered. Oh shit, almost blew it there! Remember Stel, low profile.
"So you're used to the heat, huh?" he said.
"Tell me about it!" I sighed. Considering the weather in Solaria, it wasn't too different in LA.
"So how'd you like Gardenia?" he asked.
"It's great" I smiled.
"DAN! Stop flirting with poor Stella and pay attention!" The teacher yelled, giving me a sympathetic look. My face went red as everyone eyes turned to us, which is when I realised Aisha and Bloom were there too. Bloom was silently giggling at me, while Aisha was smacking her forehead and rolling her eyes.
"Sorry, but I can't resist flirting with you." He whispered.
"I dont wanna have to friend zone you.." I giggled.
"You wouldn't dare!" he said, looking all offended. And then thats when the bell rang..
"What class you got next?" He asked, as I packed up my stuff.
"Um, I got Maths, then a double period of Art." I said
"Well I'll see you round.." he said, giving me that signature smirk, which I knew even though I've only known him for 20 minutes. I made it through Maths, but Art was wild...

Musa's P.O.V

My next lesson was Art, and I had Stella in my class, which was good. Unfortunately, I also have Riven.
"So, how were your lessons?" Stella asked, all dreamy.
"Okay, but why are you..oh wait, you met a boy, did you?" I said.
"Muse! He's just a friend!" she screamed, nudging me on the elbow. Thats what they all say...
"Denial aint doing any good sweetie" I laughed, as we walked into the art room. I looked at the seating plans, and I had to sit next to..Riven?! Out of all people?
"I am NOT sitting net to you!" I screamed, crossing my arms.
"Does it look like I want to sit next to you?" Riven said, tuning to me.
"Don't even talk to me, jerk face." I snapped, sitting down and pulling my chair as far away as I could. I just know this is going to end badly..
"OMG. Musa! Don't affiliate with that idiot!" Stella said, as she walked past me handing out some sheets.
"I'm not!" I said.
"Stop flirting then" she said.
"Flirting? We aren't flirting, we're arguing!" I said.
"Yeah, why would I ever flirt with a brat like her?" Riven said. I looked at him, trying not to punch him in the face. But those eyes, are so memorising..wait, am I falling for him? Snap out of it!
"See, you guys are agreeing, which in my eyes is flirting" Stella smiled.
"Whatever, are you inviting your new boyfriend over anytime soon?" I said.
"He's not my boyfriend! I told you, we're just friends. And at least he's not a f*ckface like the specialists!" she said, going back to her seat. Half way through the lesson, you won't believe what he did! He took black paint and spilt it all over my sketch, and said it was an accident. To get him back for his so called 'accident', I poured pen ink on his new Jordans.
"Good luck getting that off!" I snickered.
"Hey! These are BRAND NEW!" he said, frantically trying to rub it off.
"I warned you." I said, starting to paint. I thought it would evolve into a paint fight, but it was our first day and I didn't want to make a bad impression, so I stayed quiet the rest of the lesson. I considered it clam, until just before the end of the lesson. He legitimately threw powder paint in my hair, and it resulted in a fight. Thank god the teacher was clueless. She was gone half the the lesson, probably flirting with the male teachers in the teachers lounge.

Sorry for the late update. I finished school today, yay! I have like a month and a half off, which I'll spend on here :P. Anyways, go check out Forever and Always bcus I updated it with a super long chapter.

PS - Ik, it has nothing to do with Brandon yet, but as I said, I'm taking it slow, and Dan will be a huge part between Stella and Brandon. I'll update soon bye 3
