It's Complicated

Always Calling for Help

The sound of my alarm going off woke me up. I turned it off and looked at the time. 6:55. I got up and went into the shower. I changed into some leggings and a white spaghetti strapped shirt. I brushed through my hair then French braided it.

I then brushed my teeth and agreed not to put makeup on today. I went back to my room and but on some black high top converse and laid in bed for awhile but I ended up falling asleep.

"Stella honey get up its 7:45." My mom said shaking me lightly. I moaned and groaned then got up grabbing my things. I texted Madi

Madi you at school?
Yea I'm waiting in the front for you
Ok I just left
K. And btw Joe is here waiting for you *wink wink*

My mom and I drove to school. She pulled up and dropped me off. Once I got out the car I saw Dylan and Ellery get off their moms car. "Oh god." I whispered and kept walking.

"Stella!! Wait." I heard Ellery. I turned around and she came running towards me. "I heard the news. You okay?" She asked me after we hugged. "I'm completely fine, I'll see you later." I said then walked into the school seeing Madi and Joe.

"Hey." I sighed and hugged Madi. "What's up." She said. "Where's my hug?" Joe said spreading out his arms for a hug. I walked to him and gave him a hug. He smelled like cologne. I turned my head and Dylan walked past us.

"Hey Dylan!" Madi said waving her hands. "Madi no." I said. Dyl turned around and waved at her but she told him to come over. "Hey you didn't see us?" She asked. "Um, I have to go to my locker." He said awkwardly trying not to look at me.

"You didn't even say hi to your girlfriend." She said. "Madi I need to talk to you." I said grabbing her hand and pulled her aside. "Yea well um, he broke up with me yesterday." I said. "What? Why? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I'll tell you later okay?" And she nodded her head. Dyl had left I don't know where. "Let's get to class." I said to Joe and the three of us walked to class.

Madi left to her class. Joe and I walked in class and sat in our seats. Joe sat at the table beside me and I sat next to Dylan. "Okay class today we are going to be working on a worksheet." Mr. Carol said then passed out the paper.

"Get started." He said. Everyone shuffled around and I sat awkwardly next to Dylan. I picked up my bag and put it on my lap. I opened the front pocket and moved my hand around looking for a pencil. Finally I found one and I started to work on the worksheet.

"Stella." Dylan said putting his hand on my thigh. Slowly, I turned my head to look over at him. "Did you even like me?" He said with his hand still on my thigh. "Yes, I did." I said looking at his gorgeous eyes. I then put my hand on his hand and moved it off my thigh.

I picked up my pencil and continued to work. "Why can't things be like it was before?" He asked. "I don't know you're the one who asked me to be your girlfriend." I said still writing.

"But-" "But you like Hazel." I finished. "And you like Joe. You're right I do have feelings for her but nothing serious."

I set my pencil down and looked at him. "Okay, I understand. You can sleep with that whore just for pleasure and I'll be over there with Joe." I said. "You never denied that you like him." He said nudging me. "And if I do?" I raised my eyebrows.

"We're better like this." Dylan said smiling. "Sure boo." I said then set my head on his shoulder.

The bell rang and I gathered my things. Joe was standing by the door waiting for me. I walked out the class and Joe and I walked to our next class. "Everything is good, I hope." I said referring to Dylan. "I saw." He smiled.
