Chapter 14

                                 -Social Path-

-Stella-

The whole night was spent with my shaky story of how my dad and brother left when I was very young. It was a rough topic to talk about since all the childhood trauma I went through. But with my best friends there I got through it. With them officially knowing the horrors I overcame as a child and even now.

Sure,there was a lot of tears shed but that soon led to Emma cracking out all her alcohol choices.trying her best to distract me and Marie about everything. Unfortunately only so much alcohol can help you get over you're problems.

Marie ended up going to bed because of classes which apparently now since Brink is an official pile of ash in one of the trash bags,we are now back aloud to school tomorrow so yay I guess.

Don't get me wrong I'm happy I get to stay, truly. But with everything going on, it's so hard to be happy. Especially since well you know how I guess my dad has been here the whole time. And I've apparently met my brother without knowing it was him the whole time. So yeah my life right now is pretty fucked up.

While me and Emma headed to bed, I knew that Marie still blames herself for Luke. I think we are quite similar because a lot of that blame goes to her powers for herself.

Now all I have to worry about is how the hell I am supposed to explain to my now known brother that we are related while he is still mourning his best friend's death. So um that'll be so fun. But I'm not even going to think about my dad and how I'll tell him.Like honestly, what am I even supposed to say like um'SURPRISE! You left me alone in a hell hole of a house but I'm back."

I run my hand down my face in exhaustion. What the fuck am I going to do...

-time skip-

Me and Marie are honestly still shocked in the way that we are able to return back to this school. But here we are. As we are making our way to our class in comfortable silence, we are stopped by a guy student

"Can I get a selfie?" He points the camera down to the both of us. We just both silently look at each other like 'what the hell is happening'Suddenly the random dude starts um I think one of the livestreams you can do.

But Marie quickly shuts it down while I'm still standing here like a deer caught in headlights."Y'all are like hella famous,especially you." He motions to Marie. Um thank-you-

"Can't believe you guys are in the top ten, and you guys are freshman too." The top ten- am I the only one that doesn't know what that means. "I'm sorry-um what's the top ten" I ask in a confused matter.He drags out his phone and points to our faces on the screen. Marie is number 8 and I'm number 10.

So um okay then- that's a great thing to add to my very much long list of what's so weird at this school.

As we finally make our way inside the school to start our classes,we are stopped by another person.

"Marie, Stella just the people I wanted to see." The mysterious guy says while pulling at his phone typing something. "Um sorry, do we know you?" Marie asks, equally confused as me.

"Me? Personally not yet. But the whole world seems too" he shoves the phone in our faces. "See you're trending" so much for staying low key.

"#Blackgirlsmagic and #voodoogirl" wait okay hold on- I point to the voodoo hashtag. "What's that one about" I ask. "Oh shit, yeah that's about you since people say you summoning energy out of nowhere and pushing our not so golden boy out of nothing." He says in a quick breath.

"What?! It's not even voodoo-" I'm cut off my Marie dragging me by my back leading me away from the guy. Leaving me frustrated. Are these people blind- my powers aren't voodoo.

He then just like a fucking magic hat. Pulls out 2 phones and passes it to both of us.

"Okay, so we are a bit late but we have to get going now. Did you guys bring clothes?" He looks down at our outfits before motioning us to follow him. Me and Marie just both looked at each other like what the hell is going on-

-Jordan-

I skim my hands over the newer picture. Staring at the happiness atmosphere when the photo was taken. It was of me and Brink,smiling.

I take one last glance before placing the photo on the memorial for him that started off even a little last night. Just as I was about to leave it there my thoughts are distracted by the 'crying' of a freshman. I watch as she videos herself fake crying about the professor and after the stop button gets hit. Her 'tears' stop and she goes to post it, not even knowing the man.

Selfish bitch...

I go on my feet,ready to leave until I'm stopped by Luke's past girlfriend, Cate. This will be fun....

"Hey, um I'm sorry uh I knew what Brink meant to you." She pauses. "I don't know why Luke did it." She finishes her almost like apology for her suicidal boyfriend. But to be honest,especially now I don't need any pity apology. The only apology that is needed is from me to Stella. I- I shouldn't of done that to her even when all she wanted to do was to help me.

Thing is I'm not really the one for apologies so I better start thinking of a way to make it up to her.

———-

Just as I headed back to the dorm to grab my stuff for day, I'm stopped by a ping on my phone.I pull it out of my pocket to see the one thing to set me off for today. My rank got changed.

"Fucking number 5?!" I groan leaning back on my bed.

-Stella-

Me and Marie make it to whatever place this Jeff guy was leading us too. Which as soon I step inside the room I see Andre and you'd never guess who's talking to him. My dad. Well isn't this going to be such a good family reunion. Fun,fun, fun.

The whole time Jeff was introducing us to um I don't even know her name. But all is a blur since I'm just looking at my dad and my brother. Fuck. What am I going to do. But my thoughts are cut short by the lady asking if we have clothes. Im starting to think they're really judging my style. But as she was about to leave. Marie stops her.

"Wait so we have an interview with Hayley miller. Like she's going to ask us questions?" Marie asks.

"Um okay but where is are they're cut sheets and sides" the lady calls out. "Sides of what-" I ask. "Oh no honey, you're sides are you're scripts- y'all are just so cute" As the lady walks away, me and Marie look over the script. Um nothing here says anything about Jordan."Jordan saved everyone more then anyone so why isn't their name here" I question. "I don't know but we have bigger problems to face right now Stella." Marie says placing the script down.

Me and Marie make our way back from the changing room from getting into our approved outfits. 

(The outfit I picture Stella to wear)

"Aw you look so good Mari-" I cut my sentence short because what do I see in the corner of my eye. A freakin snack bar. I like food sue me.In the middle of my very tasty snack. Someone walks over to interrupt- I look up to see no other then my dad- oh shit, here we go.

"So you're Stella, the girl who Andre says saved everyone." He says. Honestly couldn't of catches me at a worse time because I'm currently stuffing a freakin sandwich in my mouth.

"Oh-" I try to swallow the rest of my sandwich. "Yeah um that's me" trying to form a smile.

"I can't help but think you look so familiar." He says. IM SORRY- fuck um shit. I begin to cough as I have trouble finding what to say while still trying to swallow my sandwich.

As Im almost choking,literally trying to breath. A voice booms out. "Alright so we are going to get some shots of all you guys now. The saviors." The photographer motions us to the stand for photos.

Oh thank you! Literally saved me. I quickly motion to excuse myself. Practically running in heels to the stand. But just my luck, I jinx myself because what the photographer says makes me want to literally run away.

"First I want Andre and Stella on the stand taking photos first" the girl we saw earlier says next to dad, still trying to make me out because I can literally feel the stares.

"They look so much like siblings" the woman says. Shut the fuck up- I cringe to myself.

"Yeah.. they do." My dad says still so confused. "It's almost like she's you're daughter. She's a spitting image of you." The woman says, trying to blow my cover without realizing it.

I spare a glance to see dad widening his eyes. Full on goggly eyes. Man- I say a silent pray snapping my eyes back to now go on the stand with Andre.

Fuck me.. I'm going to have to literally run out of here after.
