My Sun Has Set

Stella Mason

The doorbell rang. I answered it. It was Stella.

"Hey Best Friend." She is honestly trying too hard to be my friend.

Stella had been dating my dad for two years. My parents are divorced, but my mom went to prison for constant misdemeanors.

"Stella," I started asking. "Why are you here? Aren't you suppose to be at work today."

She laughed. "Daisy my dear! It's Saturday! I'm a chemistry teacher at your high school! I'm you're chemistry teacher."

I just thought of the first question that popped into my head. I AM SO STUPID! She's my teacher!

Stella met my dad while having a parent teacher conference with my older brother Liam when he was a freshman.

"I'm here because I heard," she started.

"Heard about what?"

"Your ex with that famous girl Claudia."

I tried playing dumb.

"What?"

"Aren't you still in love with..."

"NO! I'm not I'm perfectly fine!"

I walked away. I honestly don't need this. I appreciate that she cares. But she cares too much."
