It's Complicated

Stella Baby

I got up and Joe had one arm on me. I grabbed my phone and it was 7:50 in the morning. "Fuck." I said getting up quickly. "What's wrong with you?" Joe said getting up.

"I'm going to be late to school." I said putting my shoes on. He got up and changed into different clothing as I tried to look away. "Can I borrow a sweater? I'll give it back." He grabbed a black hoodie and threw it at me.

I quickly put it on and rushed out the room. "Madi get the fuck up now!" I said yelling. She got up completely hungover. "Seriously Madi?" I just walked out the house grabbing Madi's keys.

I jumped in the car and started the ignition and waited for Joe. Joe quickly got in. "Do you even know how to drive?" He said out of breath. "Not really." I said then pushed the petal. I kept swerving off on the other side of the road.

"Stella pull over and let me drive!" Joe kept yelling at me. "Okay! Shut the fuck up!" I yelled back at him. I attempted to pull over but I ended up on the sidewalk.

We traded positions and went to school. Joe parked the car and we ran out. We ran to our first class already 20 minutes late. And that's when I realized I don't have my things.

"Oh my fucking god." I put my hand on my face. "What?" Joe asked as we walked in the halls. "I don't have my things." I whispered.

We both walked in class and everyone stared at us especially Dylan. I rushed over to my seat by Dylan and Joe just sat in the empty desk beside Dylan and I. "Stella, Joe why are you late to my class?" Mr. Carol asked. "None of your business." I said.

"Stella do you really want to start this?" He said. "Start what? So what I'm late to your class mark me tardy and that's it." I said rudely. "Stella Ramirez get out of my class, I'm going to speak to you privately." He said.

I looked at Dylan and got up walking out not looking back at Joe neither Dylan. I opened the door and exited the classroom. "Stella I'm very disappointed with you." Mr. Carol said. "Okay." I said.

"Why are you acting like this?" He asked me. "You're asking me why I was late. It's none of your business okay? So what I came to your class late, mark me tardy and get on with your day." I said then walked back in class sitting in my seat.

"Stella what's your problem? And who's that guy you walked in with?" Dylan asked me. "That's Joe, and I don't have any problems." I said harshly.

I then just sat in my seat and did nothing for the rest of class. The bell rang and I got up grabbing my phone since that's all I brought today. "Stella wait up." I heard Dylan say but I kept walking.

I seen Joe waiting for me and I just walked passed him. "Stella." Dylan said grabbing my hand and turning me around. "Do you not hear me calling you!" He yelled and everyone stared as they walked by.

I just stood in front of him, staring at him. I looked over his shoulder and Joe was staring. "Um hello can you hear me?" He said waving his hand in front of my face. The halls then cleared up since everyone went to class. The bell then rang.

"Fine don't talk." He said pissed off and walked off to class. I remained standing there. Joe then came up to me. "That's Dylan? Why aren't you talking to him?" Joe asked. "Yes that's him." I said then walked to class.

I walked in and sat in my seat behind Dylan and Joe sat in his seat on the other side of class. It was 30 minutes into class. The class phone started to ring and the teacher answered. His eyes glared over at me. He hung the phone up and walked to me.
