As they took a break at home, Jake, Stella's neighbor came over to greet her. Jake and Brian have been enemies since the sixth grade, something Stella doesn't know. Stella doesn't actually know a lot of things because she moved in few months ago but her and Thea have been friends since elementary school.

Jake: Brian.... Long time man,

Brian: yeah(rolls his eyes) long time.

Thea: you guys know each other?

Brian: you can say that.

Jake: Brian Stephan Cole

Brian: what?

Thea: and it seems you dont get along. Wait I'll call stella. (Shouts) STELLA!!

Stella: you dont have to do that Thea. Im coming(heading to the living room) Jake ?

Jake: oh hey, Stella. I've not seen you for a while. Where have you been?

Stella: I've been busy, besides im heading somewhere right now.

Brian: you schooled with him?

Brian: oh,

Stella: i think you should get going Jake.

Jakes: of course, i should um-.. I've got something to discuss with you(stands up)

Jake: thanks, Thea see you around.... Brian, take care(looks at Stella ) see you then Stella. (Gets out)

Stella: sure. (Closes the door)

Thea: wow.

Stella: what(smiles)

Thea: that was brave... Chasing a guy away.

Stella: (blushes) you must be crazy

Thea: no, no, no, no. I'm for real. Brian must be having his own party inside his heart.

Stella: you think?

Thea: I know(looks at Brian)

Brian: (busy with his phone) are you girls talking to me?

Thea: yeah we should leave.

Brian: and where the hell are we going?

Thea: out for lunch... Then the day is done.

Stella: cute idea.

Brian: (holds Stella's hand) let's go then.

Stella has always wanted to tell Thea about her relationship with Brian. Months flew away since they had a thing. Thea enjoyed seeing them together but something held her behind because she didn't have a boyfriend at that time its not like she cant have one she can but someone is just holding her luck behind.
As they are almost heading to their long term holiday,a holiday enough to build a house and start living inside it .
Friday morning when Thea left her house and went for Stella they took off to school,

Lexi: (in class) EVERYBODY BE QUIET!!
Thea: ( whispering) who does she think she is? Queen Elizabeth?
Stella: ( laughs quietly and whispers back ) i have no idea
Lexi: you slut... (looking at Thea)
Thea and Stella: what?
Lexi: oh so now your so surprised... huh?
Thea: what are you talking about?
Lexi: you call yourself Thea- the greatest of all?
Thea: stel- lets leave here before i puke on someone.(carrying her stuff)
Lexi: and where do  you think your going?
Thea: I'm not going to pick whatever you want...
Stella: lets leave,
Thea: look why don't you pick somebody your own size ?

Heading to the cafeteria
Stella: hey hey wait girl...there's something I'm missing(holds her from walking fast)
Thea: not now stell-
