It's Complicated

Graduation Day

Stella's P.O.V.
"We actually graduated!" Caleb yelled in joy as we walked out the school with our families. "Yes we did," Madi smiled at him. The both of them locking lips.

"Okay picture time!" Caleb's mom smiled holding the camera up. It felt like we took 100 hundred pictures. We all took a picture with everyone there. Lastly Caleb, Madi, Dylan, and I took one group photo.

"Okay, I have to leave. Bye guys!" I said waving bye to everyone. Dylan then grabbed my hand turning me around. "Why are you leaving?" He asked putting his hands on my hips. "I told you I'm going to meet up with Joe." I smiled removing his hands from my hips.

"My parents still don't know about us yet." I whispered turning around to see if they saw. "Okay. I'll call you." He said stepping back. I smiled and nodded my head. I spun around and caught up with everyone.

"I'm so proud of you Stella." My dad smiled throwing his arm over my shoulder. "Thanks dad." Matthew was driving and my dad and I sat in the back, while my mom sat up front. "Guys," I said nervously.

"Yes?" My mom responded. Matthew lowered the radio. "Well, I've been keeping something from you guys." "Oh my god Stella, please tell me you're not pregnant!" My mom yelled.

"What! No. Dylan and I have been together for already almost a month. I wanted to tell you guys when it was somewhat serious." I said looking at my dad then my mom.

"A month!" My dad said upset. "And you didn't tell me!" He acted hurt. "Yea, basically." I laughed. "Do Carl and Dana know?" Matthew asked.

"Yea, they've always knew." I said going on my phone. "Wow, okay." My dad said offended. "It's not that big of a deal." "Yea not to you," my mom said.

"Well Carl and Dana invited us over for dinner later like at 7," my mom said. "I can't, I'm hanging with Joe."

"Whatever," Matthew said pulling into the driveway. I opened the car door and got out. After my mom unlocked the door I rushed up to my room. "Stella I know you're going with Joe but be back before 5!"

"Yea!" I yelled taking my gown off and my dress. I put on a purple shirt and black jeans, with my converse.

- Joe -
Joe, you on your way?
Yea, I'll be there in 5.

I ran downstairs and waited outside for Joe to pull up. After a couple minutes Joe pulled up getting out his car. "Joe you could just honk." I laughed standing up walking over to him. "How you been?" I asked looking up at him. "Fine," he smiled.

I gave him a hug then went in the car. "How was graduation?" Joe asked while putting his seatbelt on. "Long and boring," I said. "Most graduations are," he responded with a slight smile on his face. "Guess what?" Joe said happily.

"You have a dog!" I yelled smiling. "No. I got a job." He laughed. "Really? Where?" I asked happy for him. "Starbucks." He lowered his voice. "Does this mean free Starbucks drinks?" I asked excited putting my hand on his thigh squeezing it.

Joe looked down then back up at me. "Oh my god," I whispered quickly removing my hand. "Sorry." I said uncomfortable. The rest of the car ride was silent with some music playing in the background.

We didn't go to eat wings, instead we went to eat burgers. "I didn't mean to grab your thigh, that was really awkward." I said as we walked in making things even more awkward. "It's fine," Joe smiled. I sat at an empty table and Joe went to order food.
