I send one of my minions up to the front. When she comes back, she whispers in my ear who my partner is.
"Stella." She says. Shit! Shit! Shit! Why her? It's fine. I get my composure. This'll be fine.
"Can't wait to work with you!" I say, trying to conceal the rage behind my eyes. Maybe she's not as bad as I think. No, don't lie to yourself. Just fake it till you make it right? Right. Ok, I better text her and let her know to meet me in my dorm, right? Yeah. I can't believe she has to enter my dorm and stink it up. I mean it's better than spending time in her shit hole of a dorm. I send her the text. I think about it all day and how bad this could go if Stella messes anything up. Maybe I should just do all the work? I decide it would be the best option. I work for hours not breaking my focus till I hear a loud knock at my door.
"Coming!" I yell all I walk to the door, remembering the project
"Hey.." she says awkwardly.
"Come in, but don't touch anything. I'm scared you'll break something" I say passive aggressively. I notice her hair. Does it always look that pretty? Whatever, we have work to do. "So, I'm gonna assume you haven't started. No? Well, I've already researched and categorized everything. All you have to do is type it up and try not to fuck everything up. Got it?"
"Got it." she responds "Hold on, what are these?" I look in her bag and see a plastic bag full of mushed cookies with pink icing. "Ally must have put them in there. Want one?" she says playfully gesturing to the bag.
"I'm good. I don't eat...carbs... I don't eat carbs." I say. Good save Audrey, good save. I pull out my laptop and she does too. I start looking at her stickers "Queen of Hell?" I mutter to myself.
"What?" She says, not in a rude way but, in a way where she's actually asking a question.
We just sit working, occasionally staring at each other. I start talking about my cat back at my castle, Princess. And she tells me about her three headed dog, Cuddles. We just sit, chatting and working for two hours. Maybe this won't be that bad. She, right before she leaves, shows off her powers by lighting the fire place with her mind. I close the door afterward. I hear my phone go off in a high pitched 'ding'.
"Hey, I need you to host a party at your place tomorrow" - Chad
"No, I don't feel like it"- Audrey
"I asked nicely. You don't have a choice. I have a room key remember."- Chad.
"Fine."-Audrey
"And hey, maybe after we can have some fun" - Chad
"Don't push me"- Audrey.
Really? He demands for me to throw a party then all he can think about is getting his rocks off?
I turn around, and see that Stella forgot her cookies. Maybe I should return them? Before I do anything, I decide not to and take the cookies up to the roof. I sit on the edge eating them, and then I hear footsteps. I turn around. It's Stella. "Hey, what do you need?"I say.
"I saw you run up here with the cookies and I was wondering if you were ok." She replies, as she sits down beside me.
"So, how'd you really know something was wrong, because I'm pretty sure it wasn't the cookies." I reply in a snarky tone.
"Well..." she replies nervously.
"Did you read my mind?" I say with a surprised smile on my face. She fidgets in her seat.
"Uhm..."
"Stella Morningstar. Did you, or did you not read my mind." I say. She gets nervous, "You did!" I start giggling.
"You're not mad?"She asks.
"No, I'm flattered." I respond fanning myself with my hand. We both giggle. We stand up.
"Stand on the edge." She says
"Ok?" I respond in a nervous tone.
"Fall." She says
"WHAT?" I respond, frazzled.
"Trust me!" She says, laughing.
"Ok, but if I die, it's on you." I fall forward and close my eyes. I scream. And then I hear laughter.
"Open your eyes silly." She says, in a cute kind of endearing way. I open my eyes to see I was levitating in the air.
"I'm flying! I've always wanted to know what it feels like to fly!" I say excitedly. I start pretending to soar like a plane, then fly like a bird, then she pulls me back to the edge, where she's standing. Our eyes meet. The wind in our hair. I look in her stunning red eyes, as she pulls my blonde hair behind my ear. We look away. All of the sudden she snaps around, and kisses me. Her soft lips touch mine. It almost felt like I was flying again. No better than flying, soaring. I take off my shirt then...
I wake up. I feel my phone vibrating in my pocket. It's my mom calling. I hang up. That will come to bite me in the ass later. But, I wanna know... Why am I dreaming about... Stella?
What. the.fuck.
