Just A Normal Day In The Life Of Stella

"MOM! I'm late for school again, hurry up!!" I screamed as I rushed to pick up my bag and lunch box and ran towards the bus stop.

My days in high school have been quite monotonous. It's like there is nothing to do! All day same story! 'Eat, Sleep, repeat' has been my everyday regime.

Today I have an important mathematics exam and I studied sufficient enough for it but I'm still nervous.

I was able to make it on time and catch the bus. 

We played the song game in the bus . We divide ourselves in 4-5 groups and each contestant sings the first verse of a song  that begins on which the previous contestant's song selection ended. Bus rides were hence, fun and we'd exclaim "OH, NO!" in synchrony as soon as we reached the school.

I reached my class and walked till the last bench. Back benches were fun. Front ones are for geeks. I took my seat which was already left vacant for me.

"Okay class, you have one hour to finish up your test and then you can go back home" said Miss Izzie as she started distributing the question paper.

I heard Beth whispering behind me"Stella, Show me the whole goddamn answer sheet. I swear I know nothing!"

I chuckled and soon after one hour of utmost silence and scribbling in the class room, the paper ended.

Beth thanked me for saving her ass with the major portion of the paper or she would be smacked by her tuition teacher again.

I returned home to find my best friend Adam waiting for me near the elevator.

"So how did it go?" he asked

"Aced it!" I replied with an ear-to-ear smile.

It was always good talking to Adam. We talked all the time, discussing every detail of the day.

Adam bought me an ice cream and as we talked, he reminded me that he liked me more than just friends and wanted me to be his girlfriend and asked me to think about it again.

I have never been in a relationship before! Why does he keep saying that? I don't want to ruin my friendship with him but he is being more persistent these days. I like talking to him but I never thought of him in that way!

I have been ignoring his questions for about a month now. I went back to my home and we decided to meet in the evening.

Pretty boring already, huh?

I met Adam in the evening again still unsure how I would answer his 'be my girlfriend' questions.

Adam is standing there talking on the phone with HIS FRIEND and SHE'S A GIRL!

I am being supportive. Okay, he's just talking to a friend. But its been so long already and why is he smiling like that?

What the f*ck is this feeling? Is it jealousy?

Oh, hell nawww!! When did this happen?

F*ck, I'm officially ruined.

Gone!

Dead!

What do I do?

I can't stand seeing him blushing over the phone with someone else.

I stomped off in a huff, muttering under my breath hoping he would understand that something bothered me and went back home.

I went to my balcony and stood there, aloof, trying to understand what is wrong with me? He was my friend, right?

Why this uneasiness?

Why is it bothering me?

I stood there waiting for him to call me.

After 20 minutes he called.

I picked up and he asked Why did I rush away?

I don't know why but tear filled up my eyes and I told him "I couldn't see you talking for so long to some girl and you didn't even care about me. I'm not okay with you ignoring me and talking for an eternity to some random chick and blushing like Angelina Jolie called you cute!"

I could feel him smiling as he said. "Oh my god, Stella, You like me too!"

"Look, She's just a friend from hometown.We lived nearby and went to the same school until I moved in here. I got to know she moved here too and her new school is opposite mine.

You don't need to worry about her. It's just that we talked after so long and we had a lot to discuss about." he explained.

I believed him. Maybe because I wanted him to myself and was scared of losing him to someone else.I feared maybe it's too late.

Too late to validate my feelings.

And just like that we were in a relationship.

I was Adam's girlfriend. My best friend. My first relationship! What did I get myself into!?
