I gasped. "You kissed Connor?"
"Yeah, it was nice." Stella said smiling lightly.
"It was nice?" I copied with confusion.
"Yeah, what's wrong with that?" She asked me.
"Remember my first kiss with Josh?" I asked her making me picture it in my head. We were at the Pacific Flavor in Malibu. His favorite. He had finally found the nerve to kiss me after a really nice walk on the beach.
"How could I forget?!" Stella laughed, "It was like you had swallowed a firecracker!"
"Exactly!" I stated trying to prove my point.
"I don't get you." Stella snorted.

"Well...did you get that same spark with Connor when you two kissed?" I asked her.
"Well I guess that you could..." Stella started off with a smile before it faded and she had a look of confusion on her face.
"Well?" I urged her to continue.
"Well, it became a frenzy-like thing... So, I guess I felt something. I mean, what else could've driven me to keep going?"
She asked me.
"Well, you did say that he was upset about you caring too much about Chad... Maybe it was just out of sympathy?" I suggested.
"What? You make it sound like as though I only care about Chad.... And it was not out of sympathy... And even if it was.... That would make me feel shallow." Stella worried.

"Stella! You're always worrying about Chad!" I said trying to make her realize it.
"No. I don't." Stella said defensively with her arms folded across her chest.
"Yes you do! When you guys were in the pit, you were always concerned about how Jessica was treating him! When you were contacting Connor... You made sure that Chad wouldn't find out for his own sake! You worried about him at Connor's 17th, you worried about him yesterday and in you're head, you're probably worrying about him now!" I protested. There was a long pause. Stella then sighed.
"Gosh, I do, don't I?" I could only nod. "I can't help it Sandy. Chad means everything to me." Stella said quietly. I sighed.
"I know."

*Chad

"Hey Connor. What's up?" I answered my phone as I saw his name as the caller identifier.
"Hey. I was wondering whether you wanted to come Saturday night to a wicked party." I could just tell that he had a smirk on his face. Dancing, whooing, drinking... It was almost likely to be running through Connor's mind just by having the two words "wild party" come out of his mouth.
"Oh, I don't know Connor." I grimaced. I didn't want to be the one having to be his sober driver or cleaning up his, let's just say, 'previous beverages or food.'
"Hey, come on! It'll be great!" He tried convincing me.
"I'll have to think about Connor." I answered.
"Alright. Well, got to call Stella... talk to you later." My mind went blank as he said Stella's name.
"Uh, yeah... ok. Bye." I said awkwardly before hanging up.
Why was he going to call her? What were they going to talk about? How often does he call her? She said that he's good at keeping a conversation... did she love them? Man!

*Stella

Yeah, yeah, yeah... Girl I wanna, yeah, yeah, yeah. I wanna see you tonight.
"Ugh! Change your ringtone already!" Sandy complained as she clenched onto her hair. I rolled my eyes and looked at the caller identifier. Connor. I flipped it open and placed it to my ear.
"Hey Connor." I answered. I looked at Sandy who had a look of disgust on her face.
"How many times does he call you?" Sandy whispered in complaint. I just ignored it and continued,
"What's up?" I asked.
"I need to ask you something... but, in person." It sounded serious which made me worried.
"Why? What's wrong?" I asked.
"Nothing. I just need to ask you something but would prefer if it were in private." He explained.

"Oh, well... how long can it wait? 'Cause I'm actually with Sandy right now." I informed him.
"Well, I can wait 'till tonight?" He suggested.
"Ok, cool. Sandy's going home at seven.. so maybe seven thirty?" I also suggested.
"Yeah, great. I'll come by your house. It's just for a little while. Well... depending on how you answer." Connor said. I didn't quite get what he meant but was willing to be patient.
"Sure thing." I nodded.
"Cool. Well, I'll see you then." He fare-welled.
"Sure. Bye." I said before pressing the symbol on my phone that hung up the phone.
"What's going on?" Sandy asked.
"I'm actually not that sure." I said as my eyebrows came to meet each other with confusion.

*Connor

I looked at the time and saw that it was seven twenty. I got into my car and started driving towards Stella's home. I decided to go ten minutes before I had said that I was going to be there as it was quite a long drive.
I made it there around seven twenty eight. Stella was outside on her porch. She got up as she saw me and walked down the front yard path to me.
"Hey Connor." She greeted with a smile.
"Hey." I greeted back.
"You said there was something you wanted to ask me?" Stella reminded. I nodded.
"Stella... I know that we've only known each other for a little while and that you've been through a whole lot of stuff with Chad and all... but I really think that if we tried we could make something work." I started off.

"But I thought we were already starting off? We went on that date, remember?" Stella asked confusingly.
"I know, I know. But I was thinking maybe another step forward?" I hinted. She seemed shock and was silent for what seemed like forever. I'm quite impatient.
"Um, Connor..." She began with a deep breath, "What made you want to ask me this?" She asked me.
"Well, 'cause I want to be with you." I said shocked that she even asked me that Why else would I ask? I looked down at her hand and held it. She slowly removed hers and put both her hands on either side of her elbows.
"I'm sorry Connor. It's just a bit too soon and I don't think I'm ready just yet. But maybe in time. I still like you, I just don't think that now's a good time." She explained apologetically.
"Then I'll see you at school." I said with a bit of a frustrated tone.
"Connor-" She reached out to me but I turned and walked away.

*Stella

As he asked me to be with him, I couldn't help but think of... Chad. I turned down his offer apologetically but he just got mad and left. Honestly... I don't think that's really a good attitude to have. But I'm hoping that he'll come around or I will. I just really think that a relationship shouldn't be started after... what? One, two weeks? I just wanted things to be as every girl dreams of. A charming prince (talking hypothetically), no complications, romance and a happily ever after. But somehow, I'm just going to have to wake up to reality and be the princess that saves the prince.
Who's the prince though?
