Back To Love - Chapter 13 A Spark?

Madi - T H A N K Y O U :D xx
Shanzey - Ngaaaw ; I Love You Heaps :) To D E A T H ? Somehow, Even Though I'm Not Supposed To, I Find That Flattering! Hahaha! xx

To All - So As You Know, I Have Been Posting Photos Of The Characters And Have Missed Out On One .. And I Think You All Know Who That One Person Is. That's Right! S T E L L A ! The Reason Why She Wasn't One Of The First People To Be Posted Is Because I Actually Made Up Her Appearance And Couldn't Find Any Pictures On Google Images That Shared The Same Features. I Came Very Close When I Picked This One. Only She Has Brownish/Greenish Eyes Instead Of Blue. Her Real Life Name Is Cassie. I Wouldn't Be Surprised If You Knew Who She Was :) xx

*Chad

"What? No. I am not jealous. If there was one person I was ever to be jealous of... It would probably be a celebrity or something! There is no way that I am jealous of Connor." I defended myself. Casey just rolled her eyes.
"Chad. You said so yourself! You were mad when she was contacting Connor! You must've been jealous then and I know for a fact that you're jealous now."
"For a fact? What is it, written on Google or something?" I got offensive. She put her hand on my shoulder like how she did before.
"Chad. It's okay to feel this way. Well, besides the fact that you would be in the way or a third wheel." She stated.
"Thanks Casey. That is so helpful." I said with sarcasm.
"Chad. You two have a past. You have both always had a soft side for each other... you were just too young to know it at the time. But now? Now's your time to express how you feel." Casey encouraged.
"But what about Connor? I can't just take her away from him!"
"True. But maybe... she'll see which one she has more room in her heart for and accept it." I sighed. Casey was right. I was.... jealous.

*Stella

"Hey. Where did you go?" My mum said as I made my way to her at the counter.
"I just went for a walk. I saw Chad." As soon as I had mentioned his name the thought of our little moment had popped into my head.
"Oh really? That must've been nice." I quickly shook my head to wake myself up to reality.
"What? Oh. Yeah. Right. It was. And I saw Casey." I smiled.
"Casey? Really?" My mum asked me in disbelief. I nodded with a faint smile. "I was hoping to hang with her some time. Is that okay?" I asked with hope.
"Yes, but you two are organizing it on your own. Even transport." She set out the conditions. Typical mother nature. But I was still happy that I was given permission.
"Excuse me ma'am. That would be sixty five dollars and a quarter please." The shopkeeper interrupted with politeness.

I walked into my room and flopped on the bed. I was exhausted. Even though I did barely anything today.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Girl I wanna, yeah, yeah, yeah. I wanna see you tonight. It was my phone ringing. I reached over from my bed and grabbed it from my computer table. I flipped it open and put it to my ear.
"Hello?" I answered.
"You really should put my number under your contacts so that you can identify me when I'm calling." It was Connor. I laughed.
"I should, huh? So how's it going?" I asked casually.
"Not good." This worried me. I sat up quickly.
"Why? What's the matter?" I asked him.
"Well... I was kind of hoping to get back on to where we left last week. I know that we see each other at school and all..." I quietly sighed with relief and lay back down.
"Want to hang out at the park tomorrow?" I asked him. "We could just take a walk or just sit down and have a chat or something?" I offered.
"Yeah. Yeah, that would be cool. I'll pick you up at ten in the morning?" He asked.
"Yeah, sure." I smiled.
"Cool."

"So how was The Dancing Martinis?" I asked with laughter.
"It was alright." He shrugged. "Bummer you weren't there though." He admitted. I smiled.
"Maybe next time." I shrugged.
"Do you think maybe..." Connor started off. "Nah. Never mind." He then looked away shyly.
"Come on. What is it?" I pleaded.
"Do you think maybe... we'll still like each other, then?" He asked me. It was quite a big one and had me thinking for a little while.
"Who said I liked you?" I asked seriously. He then had a look of confusion on his face. "Connor. I'm kidding." I laughed. He then squinted his eyes at me.
"Stella Daniels. You better run." He said deeply with a smirk. I did as he told and bolted off as fast as I could. I squealed scared and happily most of the time and he laughed. He was pretty fast and before I knew it he had me in his arms saying,
"Got you." He smirked. I laughed.

"Ok. You can let go of me now." He did as I said and let go of me. We laughed it off and started walking once more.
"Hey, did you ask Chad last night whether he was okay with us dating?" I asked him worriedly.
"Yeah, he said he was cool with it." Connor answered.
"Nice. Then what?" I asked.
"Oh, that's when he left for some air." Connor replied. And that was why Chad was on the swings outside the club! But why did he look so miserable? I hadn't the faintest clue. I had a look of concern on my face and Connor must've noticed 'cause he stopped me in my track and put his hand on my shoulder.

"Hey, like I said, if Chad doesn't approve... that's just going to have to be something that he'll have to deal with. And I honestly don't see why he would have a problem with us anyway." He shrugged. I didn't see why either. Even though he had told me about it in our argument, I still had no idea what was so bad about Connor and I liking each other. I still didn't have a response for Connor. He then looked down at my hand and linked his fingers in them. I looked at him sincerely and he did the same to me. I looked at our hands confusingly.
"Hm. That's odd." I said with a stern look.
"What is?" He asked. I didn't think that we would need to worry about it so I said,
"Nothing. Everything's fine." I lied. I looked back down at our hands again and felt... weird.

*Chad

I was alarmed when I saw the door open.
Stella? What was she doing in my room? She shut the door behind her as she came in with a smirk on her face.
"Hello Chad." She said in a flirty way.
"Stella?" I asked in shock. She then put her index finger to her lips and hushed me. She then got on to the bed and sat on my torso with both her legs on either side of my hips.
"No talking. Just kiss me. In the most, passionate, sexiest, caring way." With each of those adjectives she leaned in closer to my face. Her lips were so close to mine that I could feel her cool breath on my lips. She started to move just the slightest bit closer to me...

"Chad! Chad! Chad! Wake up Chad!" I quickly got up in shock and was panting very fast.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Casey comforted me.
"Nothing." I lied. I then walked to the bathroom to wash my face.
I had no idea what to make of the dream. What if Casey wouldn't have woken me up in time? I know that it's only a dream, but to me, it still doesn't make a difference. We would have kissed!
"Chad. Stella's here." I quickly turned my head to look at Casey standing at the bathroom door.
"What?" I asked her.
"That's why I woke you up." She stated.
"Oh. Right. I'll be right down." I told her.
"Don't be long." She said before leaving. I quickly brushed my teeth and changed into proper clothes and made my way downstairs.

"Hey. I told Casey not to wake you. I'm so sorry." Stella apologized as I made my way to her. Man, she looked beautiful. Of course I always thought of Stella as a stunner, but now that Casey has opened my eyes to see that I was jealous of Connor being able to get Stella to have affections for him... She seemed absolutely wonderful. "I would've waited with Casey." She stated.
"No. It's fine. I'm actually glad that she woke me up." I reassured her.
"Oh? And why's that?" Stella asked with a bit of a laugh.

"No reason in particular." I lied. The dream popped back into my head and I shivered.
"Doesn't seem that way." She laughed as she grabbed hold of my hand. Her touch sent a shock wave through my arm and into the rest of my body. She immediately dropped my hand and had a look of confusion on her face. She must've felt something too.
"I'm so sorry. I was just going to show you the Goosebumps on your arm." She said as she pointed at my arm. "I-I better go." She said hesitantly as she turned around, ran to the door, opened it and ran out.
"Stella! Wait!" I called out to her as I tried to chase her. I ran out the door in hope of stopping her. But, it was too late. She had already ran all the way down to the street and was getting into a cab. I put both of my hands at the back of my head and clenched onto locks of my hair.
"Shit." I whispered to myself angrily.
