Stella's POV:
I am Stella. Fourteen years of age, in the nineth grade, living with my only living family member, Blake. Blake is my brother, twenty years old, in college. Parents died when I was four, or so my brother says. Which means my brother would have been ten years old. He is what you would call a "kid genius" and was loved by everyone. With me being younger and him being a genius, my parents didn't have to worry about him all the time. Me, on the other hand, they were always on their toes. The little trouble maker I was, still am. Since my parents death, I've gotten into more trouble. Let's just say that the city we live in is prone to a party almost every night and I am one of those people you would call the "life of the party." My friends, Skyler and Nick, and our "parental figures" ,Hannah and Marshal, go out to these parties during classes and sometimes at night. Skyler's and Nick's parents died when they were young too, but they have no older siblings to take care of them. They found each other in the streets and Hannah and Marshal found them together, thinking they were siblings. Skyler and Nick knew that they weren't siblings, but they think of each other as siblings, and I think of them as siblings ever since I met them at school and asked if they wanted to come to a party with me. They enjoy my presence and I enjoy theirs. Sometimes, ever since we turned 14, they've been getting us small amounts of beer and wine to get us started. Not really the best life style but Me and my friends are happy about it and stick with it until we eventually get caught. The first party we went to was when I was around 6 years old, my brother picked me up from school and was walking home when he got distracted by a girl needing help with some of her clothes that looked like she just finished buying. I heard some music down the street and as soon as I was where the music was coming from, I immediately knew where I was.
•Beginning of flashback•
"What is this place? Where am I? What's going on?"
"Hey there little one, are you lost?" A strange big guy asked me.
"Uh, no. I just thought I would come over for a little bit, the music sounds fun. What's going on here?"
"This is a party. For the big kids at my school. We just won a big game and are celebrating."
"Really?! That's so fun!! Can I join??"
"I'm not sure that is a good idea. You seem a bit too small to even be over here. Do you have any older siblings?"
"Yeah, my brother. He got distracted by a girl and I got drawn to the music." I looked over to my left while answering. The lights flashing, music extra loud, people having fun. I looked over to my right to see a whole bunch of foods like burgers and hot dogs and drinks like fruit punch and Coca-Cola.
"Comon, let's go look for your brother; he must be worried sick." The strange guy caught my attention.
"But it's SOOOOOO much more fun here. Can't I stay for a little bit?" Just then, a boy and a girl in about their high teen years walked up behind the strange guy. "Alex! What are you doing?" The girl caught his attention.
"Uhh, Hannah, this little girl heard the music we were playing and came here. She said she was with her brother when he got distracted and that's how she got over here. I was just about to take her to go and find her brother." They guy named Alex answered.
"Ok." Said the man. He took out a piece of paper and gave it too me. "Here you go lovely, take this and if you ever want to come over and hang around with us, just ask your brother to call this number, or maybe get your own phone and call us yourself." He said with and smile on his face.
"Ok Mr! Uhhh, can I have your name please?" I asked him in case I ever chose to call him.
"Sure. My name is Marshal." He gestured over to the girl next to him. "And this is Hannah." Marshal pointed over to Alex and told me his name as well.
"Alright, comon little one lets go find your brother." Alex told me.
"Ok! But first..." I ran over to the food stand and grabbed a hot dog really quick. "Now let's go!"
"Hahaha, you silly little girl." Alex said as he ruffled my hair. I giggled as he does the action my brother usually did when I did something silly or mischievous. We wondered through the streets as we searched for my brother. We found him half a block down from the place I last saw him looking as worried as a mother about to give birth and it's her first time. When he saw me, he quickly pulled me away from Alex's grasp and pulled me into a hug. "I was worried sick about you, Stell. Don't ever wonder off like that again." He whispered in my ear.
"Well, don't get distracted by a pretty girl ever again." I am served him back with sass. He flicked my forehead and we said our goodbyes and walked home.
•End of flashback•
Ahhh, the good old days when Blake actually paid attention. Now it's just me sneaking out during 5th period and night to go to a party that Hannah and Marshal either hosts or recommends. But, who cares? This is the life style I chose and no one's gonna stop me. No one can and no one will. I am happy where I am and don't need anything else. That's that. End of story on that part. No more discussion. Got it? Good.Hope you guys liked the first chapter of this new story that I came up with. I hope I am the only one that has thought of this, if not, sorry original person. Until next time my lovely little readers and followed and new people. <3 <3 Bye!!
