Hello people of the world. So I've got a new story coming up in Jan, or earlier if possible. My friend gave me this idea (not using names or anything since she didn't want me to and I respect that) and I'm really excited for it. I'm gonna start writing it soon, and I hope y'all will enjoy it. More info about it at the end of this chapter :D.
StellaBrella: Ikr, if it weren't for Sky they'd be together by now -_-.
iradfs: Yup, they're gonna get way closer and a lot more comfortable with each other :3
Pickles333: Thanks :)
SolariaPride: Thank youuu. I srsly can't wait for you to write that story bcoz its gonna be awesome. Ly *.*
Emma: thats such a coincidence, bcoz I was thinking the exact same thing and was planning for this to be a Floria chapter - if thats their ship name xD
WinxMusaFan: What can I say, Spongebob is boss...
shreyamishra1232: Not to come off as rude or anything, but if you didn't like it, you don't need to read it. It actually takes a long time to rewrite a chapter, and no one else seems to have a problem with it so its fine the way it is. I'm sorry you found it boring but I can't just change the whole thing because of an individual's opinion. As I said before, I'm not tryna start beef or anything, but your version of boring can be another person's interesting, so I can't remove a whole chunk of the chapter so that it's up to your standard.
Guest (18 Dec): Well die no more, the chapter is here xD.
Stella's P.O.V
"Come on Stel, run faster!" Brandon yelled over the blasting music. We were in the gym training, and I was using a treadmill, drenched in sweat.
"Can...I...please...stop" I panted, as my legs started aching.
"Fine, 5 minute break" he said.
"Hallelujah" I said, stopping the machine and jumping off.
"You were on for 4 minutes sunshine.." Brandon said.
"Four and a HALF, get your facts right!" I corrected.
"Whatever. You look like you're boiling hot too" he said.
"Thats because I am" I said in a 'duh' tone, pointing to my clothes.
"Well who told you to wear sweatpants and a long sleeved shirt to the gym?" he aksed.
"Ugh fine. This better?" I aksed, snapping my fingers as my outfit changed into a black nike sports bra and a pair of grey workout shorts.
"Much" He smirked.
"Shut up you perv" I said, slapping his arm as I grabbed my bottle.
"Okay so next you're doing another half hour of sword fighting, then a half hour of archery to improve your aim." He said.
"THERE'S MORE?" I yelled, spitting out the water in my mouth.
"Yep. But don't worry, you'll get dinner after that" he said.
Flora's P.O.V.
Gosh, why does he have to be so perfect?
I mean, I've never seen anything more fine in my life.
Like he even beats Jacob Black, you know, from Twilight?
"Okay, you ready to try it?" Helia asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.
Dang, I missed his Archery demonstration because I was so busy daydreaming about him.
Well done Flora.
"Um, yeah." I said.
"Remember to keep your arm straight and concentrate on the target" he said, handing me the bow and arrow.
I held the bow with my left hand and the arrow with my right, and attempted to point at the target. Did I mention how heavy this thing is? It weighs a freaking ton!
"Oops" I shrieked, as y bad aim kicked in, causing the arrow to fly far off into the bushes.
"I'm rubbish at this" I sighed.
"No you're not, you were just distracted" he said.
Hell yeah I was, by that breath taking face.
"Just try again, trust me you'll get it eventually" he said. I shrugged and held it up like before, except this time I felt two arms over mine.
"Keep your eye on the target and hold the bow with less pressure" he said.
The lack of space between us was making me extremely anxious - but I felt safe and comfortable at the same time.
"Like this?" I aksed.
"Yep, now shoot" He said. I squinted my eyes and released my grip, making the arrow zoom forward at lightning speed.
"Bullseye!" I squealed, looking at the arrow which was now pierced through the middle of the target, not even a millimetre off.
"See, I told you. Now, what do you say we go have lunch at Magix Cafe?" Helia said.
"What, now?" I aksed.
"Yes now, come on!" he said, grabbing my hand and walking out of the field. After about 10 minutes, we got there and got a table.
"Here's your latte and black coffee" The waitress said, placing the on the table.
"So, how exactly is this training gonna help us?" I asked, sipping on my latte.
"Well it improves your agility, reflexes and aim when using magic attacks, and Saladin said you could benefit from-" Helia started, but got interrupted by his phone vibrating.
"Who is it?" I asked.
"Krystal." I felt my fists clench up. "Can I take this?" He asked.
I nodded in response as he walked outside.
Why am I getting so mad?
I'm not...jealous, am I?
Oh who am I kidding, that slut hogs Helia like they're a couple or something, and I'd be more than happy to push her dumbass into a lake.
I slapped my hand over my mouth for thinking that.
What is wrong with me?! Damn you feelings.
I peered through the glass and watched him laugh at her annoying remarks on how fabulous she is.
"As if" I muttered under my breath, rolling my eyes.
I continued to watch him and every time he smiled or laughed, that knife would impale deeper into my heart. Okay I'm being kinda dramatic here, but it did hurt me to watch him act so happy around her, even if it was just on the phone.
After a while, I realised I'd been drinking out of an empty cup subconsciously for the past 5 minutes, and Helia was still on the phone. I grabbed my bag and left the cafe, and he didn't even realise. Since I didn't want to go back to RF straight away, I just walked through the streets of Magix, like the old times. I glanced over at the stores.
The mall? Nah, being friends with Stella makes you scared of that building.
The Arcade? Nope, unless I'm with Tecna, I'm crap at video games.
The Club? Hell. to. the. no.
"Woah" I gasped, staring in amazement at the sight infront of me. A huge park of plants and flowers of all kinds.
Gee, a lot has changed since we stared that mission.
Without second thought, I rushed in, taking pictures of everything. I soon reached a quiet, tranquil spot where a massive pile of autumn leaves of all colours lay. I focused my energy and made the leaves fly up using a soft breeze, and then used a spell to create a huge image of a sunset on the grass. Since the picture was so big and the leaves so small, it created a really good contrast.
"Isn't nature the best form of art?" I grinned to myself, looking at the huge assortment of leaves with pride.
"It is."
Startled by the voice, turned around, only to see Helia. My smile turned into a frown.
"Aren't you supposed to be talking to Krystal?" I hissed.
"Where did you learn to do that?" He asked, ignoring my remark.
"Well, it was a little trick I learnt on a course back in Linphea. It was the same spell I used to make 100 of those huge banners for the prom last year" I said, my voice getting quieter near the end of my sentence.
"Wait. You made ALL of those?" he asked.
"Yup. Took me two whole nights in a row, but it was worth it...well until it all got ruined that is" I said.
"Sorry for that. Really, it was so stupid of us to just ignore the effort you put into it" he said.
"Its okay. I mean, in the end we got our prom and the best thing was we made sculptures of you burned them down" I said casually.
"You did?" he asked, looking taken aback.
"No, I'm just kidding." I laughed, sitting down underneath a blossom tree.
"So, what were you and Krystal talking about for so long?" I asked, trying to hide the venom in my voice.
"Oh, right. She was asking me if I wanted to go out with her after her boyfriend dumped her" he said.
"And what did you say?" I asked.
"No, obviously" he said.
Halle-freaking-lujah.
"Wait, so why were you all happy?" I asked.
"Because I asked her why he dumped her and she was telling me the longest and most hilarious story ever - well not for her obviously but yeah." he said.
"Well tell me then!" I said.
"He did not! A mustard commercial?" I asked, as I wiped my face from laughing so much to the point I was crying.
"Yep. She did that commercial for Heinz when she was 9, wearing a mustard bottle suit, and he played it on the big screen in the middle of their 'movie date'" he said. (I searched it up and there actually happens to be a commercial where someone's wearing a mustard costume lmao.)
"Well then, I'd never wanna mess with that guy. He sure taught her what public humiliation is" I giggled.
"What?" I asked, as Helia gazed at me with amazement.
"Its just that you're so beautiful" he said.
"What?" I asked confused.
"Flora, if I've learnt one thing from you, it's to be straight forward and honest. Which is what I'm gonna do now" He said.
What is going on right now? What is he talking about?
"Wait, what are you-"
Suddenly, his lips came into contact with mine, interrupting me. It lasted for only a couple of seconds, and was a short, sweet kiss, but it was enough for me to suck up the courage to tell him.
"Although I have no idea why you kissed me, I've been waiting the longest time to tell you...I love you" I said.
"You beat me to it" he pouted.
"You're kidding me" I said with a straight face.
"Nope" he said, popping the 'p'.
"Well, at least now I know it's not a one-sided thing" I said.
"It probably is, because I love you more than you can imagine" he said.
"Ah but I love you more than pizza and we all now that THAT is true love" I smirked.
"Can we stop arguing and go get some pizza then?" he asked, standing up.
"Why are we acting so nonchalant about this?" i asked, grabbing his hand to get up.
"The difference between the others and us is that we kinda knew all along and we're horrible at keeping it in" he said.
"True" I smiled.
Stella's P.O.V.
"Fuck you Brandon!" I screamed, as I sat pulled a bandage over my ankle.
"Oh fuck you Brandon" I repeated.
"Thats the, what, 87th time you've said that to me? You know cursing doesn't help the pain" Brandon said.
I was currently sat in bed soaking wet, with twisted ankle, all because BRANDON made me do push ups!
Can you believe it?!
Neither can I.
And you can probably guess what happened when I attempted to do one.
"All because of your dumbass, I had to limp all the way here from the gym, across the outdoor arena, in. the. RAIN!" I yelled.
"Hey, you can't blame me, I insisted to carry you like a billion times but you refused. And please stop yelling, your gonna lose your voice and I'm gonna lose my eardrums" he complained.
"Oh yeah, coz it's all about YOU isn't it?" I huffed.
"Stella, do you want dinner or not?" he asked.
"DUH I WANT DINNER!" I yelled.
"Then stop yelling sunshine, and dry yourself up" he said.
"Fine" I groaned, clicking my fingers to change my clothes into a black adidas sweatshirt, grey joggers and white converse, & hair was back to normal.
"Now I'm gonna ask you one last time, are you absolutely sure you don't want me to carry you?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure" I said, getting off the bed and limping to the door.
"Unless you want to fall down a flight of stairs, give me your arm" he said.
As I had no choice, I held out my arm and he pulled it over his shoulder.
"Okay this looks dumb" I said.
"No it doesn't, it's barely noticeable that you hurt your ankle, so it'll just look like-"
"Like I have my arm around your shoulder just for the fun of it? Thats the point, people will assume things" I said.
"So?" he asked.
"So fuck yourself Brandon" I muttered. Suddenly, he pinched my arm.
"Ow! What the hell?" I shrieked.
"From now on, every time you curse at me I'll pinch you" He said.
"Why pinching though?" I whined.
"What, you want me to kiss you?" he smirked.
"Ye-NO! No, I said no" I said.
Close call Stel, stop embarrassing yourself!
"Okay, then no more cursing. Which includes dumbass and all that" he said.
"Can we have food already? I'm starving." I grumbled.
After about 10 minutes of limping and leaning on Brandon's shoulder, we finally got to the cafeteria, which was kinda empty since we had different schedules and times to the students here.
"I knew it. I knew it. I told you guys they'd be together already" Riven scoffed, as we sat down.
"We're not 'together', dumbass" I groaned.
A second later I realised what I had said, but it was too late.
Instead of just a pinch this time, he kissed my cheek too.
He actually did it?
"Hey, you can't do both!" I complained, rubbing my arm and cheek at the same time.
"I thought you said you'd rather have me do that then pinch you, but I did both for the fun of it" he shrugged.
"I didn't say that!" I argued.
"Yeah you did, you were about to say yes then you changed it to a no" he said.
"No I didn't!" i said.
"Someone fill me in on whatever this is" Musa said.
"Brandon, I mean, this dickhea- wait I didn't mean to say tha- Ow!" I said, interrupting myself as he pinched and kissed my cheek simultaneously yet again.
"I told you, every time you curse I won't hesitate" he said.
"Wait why do you kiss her when she curses?" Sky asked.
"Because she hates it" he said, looking over to me, while I was rubbing my cheek with napkin.
Yeah I act like I hate it, but I'm secretly doing it on purpose because I'd totally risk getting pinched in return to be kissed by him - even if it's on the cheek.
"Okay can either of you explain whats going on?" Bloom asked.
"Basically, Brandon FORCED me to do pushups, and I twisted my ankle and limped in the rain back to the dorms. And instead of sympathising he's pinching me" I pouted.
"Because you keep yelling at me like a maniac and you told me to go fuck myself over 80 times" he said.
"Personally, I'd start pinching after the 5th time" Musa said.
"Wait, you twisted your ankle?" Aisha asked.
"I think" I said.
"I'll ask Flora to check it when she comes back. Where is she anyways?" Aisha asked.
"She went to have lunch with Helia at 2. And its now 8. So, I'm assuming they're out somewhere in Magix" Tecna said.
"I'm gonna sit next to Bloom for my own safety" I said.
Not bothered to stand up and go around, I crawled underneath the table, and tied Riven's shoelaces together in the process because why not?
"By the way, I got you mash and sausages" Musa said, sliding a plate in front of me.
"Thanks, I am so starving you don't even know" I said.
"I'm gonna get a soda" Riven said, standing up and tripping over instantly.
"What the- really Stella?" he said, glaring at me.
"Is that Helia and Flora? Holding hands? Awww" Bloom squealed.
"Oh god no. Not her too" I moaned.
Yeah I'm really happy for them and all, but seriously? Am I the only single one left now?
"You're the only one left now" Tecna whispered, as if she read my mind.
"Hey Flo you can tell me all about your day right after you check my ankle because it hurts like hell" I said, grabbing Flora's arm.
"Why, what did you do this time?" She asked, inspecting it.
"Push-ups. It was all his fault" I said.
"Yep, it's twisted and you'll recover over the week but you need bed rest all day tomorow and Brandon will be your assistant" Flora said.
"Ha, you hear that? Now you're my servant!" I grinned.
The light hit my eyes, making me wake up instantly. I looked over at the clock, and it was still 6 am.
What cruel person would open the blinds at 6 in the morning?
Oh right, Brandon.
"Wake up Sunshine!" he said enthusiastically.
I opened my mouth to talk, but nothing came out, well a whisper, but nothing loud enough for anyone to hear.
"Lost your voice? I told you not to yell" he said, sitting on my bed.
"Its too early, I'm going to sleep" I whispered, pulling the duvet over my face.
"You can go to sleep after you have breakfast" he said.
"Fine" I whispered, sitting up.
"Here, drink this, it'll help your throat" he said, handing me a mug.
"What is it?" I aksed, taking a sip.
"Honey and lemon tea" He said.
"It's already working" I whispered.
"Oh, and I got you breakfast in bed" he said, placing a tray on the bed.
"Thanks" I said, looking at him weirdly.
"What?" He asked.
"Nothing, its just didn't expect you to actually bring me anything" I said, digging in.
"I'm not as selfish and careless as you think, Sunshine" he said.
"Yeah, I guess you're okay" I shrugged.
"So, what do you want to do all day?" he asked.
"Sleep" I said, placing the tray on the bedside table and laying back down.
"Well then what am I supposed to do?" he asked.
"Cook me a pizza, bake me a cake, the possibilities are endless" I yawned, stuffing my face into the pillow.
"I'm gonna play GTA, just ask if you need anything" he said, walking to the other side of the room.
"Okay" I smiled, before drifting off to sleep.
Yes, I know this chapters kinda boring and quite short. I had writers block but I've got the next chapter in my head. Hopefully it will be up by Xmas day ;) Now to tell you about this new story (its a Brella story obvs)
Stella's a new student at this high school and her first encounter with Brandon wasn't a good one, causing him to have a bad impression on her. After this they become the worst of enemies, and soon discover that they're neighbours too. And if that isn't enough drama, Stella's best friend happens to be Brandon's cousin. No one knows why Brandon is such a hot headed jerk, but will Stella be the one he finally opens up to?
Sooo do you like it? Tell me in the reviews, Im gonna try to get it started before New Years. BTW, Merry Xmas And Happy New Year, love you all 😘
