Petals to Petals

Stella Harper Dang it. This stupid alarm is so annoying.. What time is it? 7:30 AM What the f?! School starts at 8! What's the point of having a roommate when he doesn't even wake me up.. Screw you, Oliver. I got up and dressed myself up, skipping breakfast since I was already late. School “Miss Harper!” Dang it. This sharp old teacher.. I'll see myself in detention. “I know, I know.. Detention for me blah blah blah.” “It's good you know. You're my top student and now you're showing up late? You're making me regret your grades!” “I'm sorry sir. How can I make it up to you?” This old man's temper is so bad, but not worse than mine. “Every 4:00 to 5:00 PM, you must tutor Leo Wilson.” Ugh.. Another boring task. Wait.. Leo Wilson?! As in.. My crush?! Stella Harper School Cafeteria The students are so noisy.. Can't they just shut up? I can't even enjoy my food properly.. In addition to that, Melody Georgia, my bestfriend, won't stop blabbering about me tutoring Leo Wilson later.. So annoying, but I can't stop blushing! "Eek! You're so lucky, Stella! Tutoring your crush? Aren't you excited?" "Shut up, Melody.. It's not a big deal.." "You say that but you're the one blushing like a tomato!" "Shh! He might hear..!" "Oh my gosh!! Stella, he's coming this way!!" I turn to my back to see him coming our way, I looked away and fixed my hair trying to impress him. "Hey! Stella Harper, right? My tutor?" "Y-yes.. That's me!" "Come over to mine." "Uh.. Huh? Y-Your house?!" F! I can't stop stuttering.. This is so awkward.. "Yeah. I'll see you later, then." Oh.. My.. Gosh.. Did he just wink at me..?! I turned to look at Melody, who was just as shocked as me. "Did.. Did you see that?!" "Of course I did!! He winked at you, girl!" I really.. really.. cannot believe it.. Was it real? The school bell rang, Melody and I parted ways since we weren't on the same class. 4PM After School My heart is beating so fast.. I can't wait to see Leo.. I kept looking in my hand mirror to fix myself so I wouldn't look bad infront of him.. Oh gosh.! "Stella! Let's walk home together." "Oh, I'm sorry I can't walk with you today Melody. I have to tutor- cough cough" I lift up my hand to cover my mouth as I suddenly coughed. What? I don't even have a cough. I removed my hand, my eyes widening from shock. Why did a flower petal come out of my mouth?. That's weird.. We don't have a rose garden at school.. "Stella. Let's go, I'll give you a ride." "Oh!.. L-Leo.. Yeah I.. I mean, okay.. Just a second!" Nevermind.. Maybe it's from one of my classmate's bouquet..? Sigh.. Don't be nervous, Stella.. You got this! Leo Wilson's Car Oh my gosh.. I can't believe I'm inside his car!. Stay calm.. Breathe in, breathe out.. "Are you okay, Stella? You seem to be breathing heavily.. Do you want to open the window?" "Uhm.. Yeah.. I could use a bit of fresh air.. I just get too pressured in tight places.. Thank you." "No worries. I'll be here when you need me." Omg.. I feel his hand on my hand! He's.. He's holding my hand..! Oh my gosh.. Is this for real..? "Young Master, we're here." We got out of the car and holy shi-ship! Is this a mansion?! It's ten times bigger than my house! "Come in, Stella. Feel at home." Even his room is big.. Woah.. He has his own closet, own bathroom, and own gaming space!. This is heaven.. "I'll.. I'll set up the materials.. You can go change.." "Okay, Stella." I just tutored him like normal, but I kept stuttering and my heart kept beating so fast! It's so awkward.. "You're really smart, and... Uh, you're so smart, Stella!" "Thank you.." Why did he paused to think what's good about me..? What is good about me..? Am I just.. smart?
