chapter twenty three:-

stella's pov:-

"when does your show start?" i asked michael.

we were facetiming again. it was kind of late but he wanted to talk to me before i got to go to sleep.

"fifteen minutes," he answered. "i'm so tired, i didn't get enough sleep."

"i blame it all on fortnite." i giggled.

"it's a fun game!" he whined.

"sure." i answered, rolling my eyes.

"don't roll your eyes at me, young lady." he pretended to scold me.

"okay mother." i smiled.

"god, i missed you so much!" he pulled the phone closer to his face, pouting.

"i miss you even more! don't worry, we'll meet up soon, hopefully."

"hopefully."

sighing, he looked down for a few seconds, and looked back up at the camera again.

"hey, i gotta go." he gave me a small smile. "call me when you're awake, okay?"

"okay," i answered. "good luck with your show."

"thank you babe," he answered, causing me to blush. "sleep well, goodnight."

"night." i smiled, clicking the red button and ending the call.

i placed the phone on my nightstand and stared at the ceiling, till i fell asleep.

gabi, emily and i were in the car, heading to school. i called michael and texted him multiple times, but he never answered.

"stop worrying, stel," gabi said.

"yeah, he probably fell asleep or something," emily continued.

"yeah, didn't you say that before the show even started he told you he was tired?" gabi asked.

"yeah, he was." i let out a long breath. "but the others are still awake, what if he's awake too but doesn't want to talk to me?"

"did you do something wrong?" emily asked.

"no, can't think of anything," i answered.

"then stop worrying!" gabi said. "he'll call you, stella, okay? don't worry."

i sighed, nodding and staring back the phone. i was thinking of texting calum.

me: hey cal, what's up? :)

as soon as i sent the message, i started regretting sending that. it sounded so stupid. but i smiled when he answered me back not even one minute later.

cal: hi stella! nothing much, we're just watching a movie! how are you?

me: i'm okay :) i wanted to ask..

cal: what's up?

me: is michael with you guys? like, watching the movie with you guys?

cal: yeah, he's right here. why?

this made me feel like someone stabbed me in the heart, i had no idea what to say or think. did i actually do something wrong? but if i did, what was it?

me: oh, okay.

cal: what's wrong stella?

me: nothing. it's just that, he told me to text him as soon as i wake up. i've been texting and calling since 6 am, but he never answered me.

cal: oh, i'll talk to him about it. just give me some time.

me: thank you cal <3

cal: you're welcome love <3

i smiled a little, locking my phone and looking back up.

"why you all smiley? lover boy finally answered you?" emily winked.

"nope, i was talking to calum," i answered. "i told him about michael not answering me, and he said he'll talk to him about it."

"don't worry now, calum will be able to fix it." gabi smiled.

"i know." i sighed as i picked my backpack up and emily started driving into the parking.

the three of us walked into school together and went to get our books. i waited next to my locker until they were both done and walked back to me.

"let's go," gabi said.

"don't daydream during class," emily warned me. "our finals are coming up soon."

"i'll try." i smiled and we started heading to class.

oh, maths, here we go.
