"Stella, do you like this color on me?" Sarah asked as she looked at herself through her compact mirror.
"Ooooh yes." I said. "It really brings out your natural skin tone."
"Perfect." she said and smacked her lips. Her and I were sitting on the brick wall outside in the courtyard at school. We heard the final bell go off indicating school was over for the day. We waited for a while in the courtyard, but my sister still hadn't shown up.
"Ugh, what is taking your sister so long?" Sarah groaned as we waited in the parking lot.
"She's probably making out with her stupid boyfriend." I explained as I looked down at my watch.
"I mean, can you blame her?" Sarah smirked. "He is pretty hot."
"Gross." I groaned and rolled my eyes. As we continued to wait, we heard some cheering and yelling behind us. I turned around and saw some people longboarding towards us.
"Ew." Sarah said. "Pogues." There was a giant parking lot that separated our schools, and the pogues always used our parking lot as a shortcut in order to get back to the cut.
"Aw isn't it two little kook princesses." John B said as he rolled up and stopped beside us.
"You two waiting for your chauffeur?" JJ mocked.
"Shutup Maybank." I said.
"Why don't you make me princess." he smirked as he rode around his board. "You look smoking in that skirt btw." I felt a slight tug on my skirt and I instantly turned around.
"You're disgusting." Sarah hissed.
"Well, see you princesses later." John B laughed.
"In your dreams!" Sarah hollered.
"What the fuck was that?" I said.
"They're so pathetic." Sarah muttered. I continued to watch as they boarded away into the distance.
"Ya." I said. "They are." As I continued to stare, there was a part of me that wished I could be with them.

Stella's P.O.V.
"Stella!" Kiara yelled. "Get your ass down from there!"
"Stop showing off!" JJ hollered.
"That fence is not secure, Stella!" Pope yelled.
"Ya, Brooks!" John B added. "None of us want to clean up your guts when you go splat."
"Good, because no one asked you!" I hollered back as I continued to walk on the fence. I continued to put one foot in front of the other, and as I was almost at the end, I felt my foot get stuck, and I felt myself start to fall.
"Woah woah woah!" I screamed as I felt the fence start to wobble.
"Stella!" my friends hollered. And just as I thought I was gonna smack the concrete, I felt someone catch me.
"I got you, cupcake." JJ smirked.
"Cupcake?" I laughed as I swung an arm around his neck. "Never heard that one before."
"Ya." he laughed. "Everyone likes cupcakes, just like everybody likes you. I like cupcakes. They are sweet, they taste good, and they're addicting. Like you."
"Smooth." I laughed.
