Stacy is a 16 year old teenage girl with long, flowing, navy blue hair tied into a ponytail with a white bow. She has thin, bright periwinkle eyes with dark pupils. Stacy wears a pewter colored ruffled, off-shoulder shirt on top of a navy blue tank top. She also wears a white pleated skirt and ankle length brown boots.
Stacy is a courteous individual, a modest and a tacitrum teenage girl. She loves to help other people whenever they have a problem with mathematics, history, science, English, and more academic topics at Rosemeadow High School. She cares for people who are treat her with respect and support.
That day, Stacy was sitting underneath a Maple tree, she allowed her tears to flow freely from her eyes, as they river down onto her rose-coloured cheeks, this was the deal for her to go through since her crush, Luke Peterson had another feelings for someone else in Rosemeadow, it was Zander Wickham. Apparently, Stacy received a reply from Luke Peterson, stating 'I don't love you!', he isn't usually like this but why did he say that to her? He wasn't like this, why would he act this way? He's usually a comprehensible and an unfussy 16 year old pansexual boy. He is indeed, pansexual.
It was confirmed that Luke had feelings for Zander, since their elementary school days as friends to now lovers, Stacy actually followed behind, hiding behind a large oak tree and watching from the distance, making sure she isn't spotted by either of the music club members. Stacy watched, looking at the tension scenery from once in love to now being heartbroken by the whole situation. She couldn't believe it. She has feelings for Luke Peterson since their freshman year of high school, now knowing that he likes Zander!? Stacy remembered it clearly from fresh memory, now that she knew... It was already too late. Luke likes Zander and Zander... Liked him back. Of course he does, what did you expect? Zander's gay and Luke is pansexual, it doesn't mean that Luke will always like men, he can like anybody, not just men.
Stacy was crying underneath the Maple tree, her head on her knees, her arms around her knees, and her navy blue hair was laying on the left side of her neck. Her sobs were ignored by everyone who walked past by, she can hear their voices around the scene, gossiping about her selfish behavior that she didn't want to happen, it was a never event. As she was sobbing, she began to hear footsteps that was approaching her direction, she didn't look up... When the footsteps reached closer and closer, she looked up.
To her surprise, it was one of the music club members, Jaks Sterling. Jake has honey blonde hair shaved at both sides with coral ombré tips. He has light brown eyes and maroon eyebrows. He also appears to have two loop-shaped piercings on his ears. Along with that is a necklace with a white pendant. He wears a navy blue jacket with a high collar and a musical note just below the elbow on the sleeve. He wears a light grey shirt with the symbol of two swords on the chest area. He wears black ripped jeans and dark grey trainers with lighter details. Stacy couldn't believe that Jake would just come up to her like that, why would he? From what her friends informed her, Jake is part of the Jomies group in Rosemeadow High School, he is with Drew, Liam, Henry, Maria, Zoey, and Lia. That left the question, why would the most popular boy in school come up to someone who isn't so socializing and always kept to themselves?
But this was different, way different.
Stacy couldn't understand this different thing and knows about it. What could possibly this be? It was like she was an abandoned kitten but the kitten found a new championship within a few days. She couldn't look at him in the eyes, his brown eyes were too much for her own eyes to bare, she was... Afraid. She looked away, whimpering in nervousness before Jake asked with a concerning tone "Are you okay?" Stacy looked back, her eyes were bloodstained red from crying, and she was breathing heavily before Jake said "There there, take it slowly and easy." Stacy complied, taking her time to breathe back to normal before she asked "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be with Drew or something?"
"Drew and I have been distant lately," Jake explained, looking away with lamentation "I-I can't talk about it, it will remind me of that fight." Stacy didn't know what Jake was talking about. What fight? Did he had a fight with Drew? What was it about? Why wasn't she involved? That last question made her regret thinking about it. "What fight?" Stacy questioned, confused "Did Drew or you did something to one another?" Jake didn't know how to respond, he just shook his head... "I can't say it..."
"Do you wanna know why I'm like this?" Stacy asked, wanting some company for her devastating moment that she wants to share "I saw you... I was worried about what could've happened to you so that's why I came to you." Stacy faked a smile and said "Don't worry, I was just upset about something that it was my fault." Jake didn't seem to convinced, he knew that Stacy wasn't okay, deep down... She was way worse than a little girl crying in the street. "Stacy? I know you're lying, you can't keep bottling up your feelings like this, come on... Tell me."
Stacy released her true feelings to Jake, her sobs only auditable to his ears, he bend down and hugged her. Jake hugged her, his arms around her slender frame and said "It's okay, I'm here for you." Jake let go before asking with remorse "Tell me, what happened?" Stacy looked away, showing more than just remorse, she was showing disappointment about herself and self-esteem. "Well," Stacy said "Do you remember when Luke confessed his feelings for Zander?" She asked, wanting to understand if Jake knew the whole situation, he nodded as she continued "When I was walking to the English classroom, I tripped over and realized that all of my books fell off my hands. That's when Luke came into the scene, offered some help, and took me to the English classroom to put the books away." Jake Sterling looked... Confused. He did remember when Hailey explained about Stacy coming into the scene and tripping over, causing her books to fall out of her arms. But, why didn't she tell him about her expression? Did she noticed but never said anything? Or didn't she?
Jake Sterling crawled a bit closer to Stacy before she continued explaining "So when we finished putting up the books, I didn't think... I went up to him and kissed his lips, without asking for his permission. Then I confessed how I felt about him. I've always liked Luke, he was getting a lot of attention from the girls around him, I didn't know what got into me, I just kissed him without his permission and later, I saw... Zander." Jake now remembered, what from Zander informed him, he walked in to see Luke being kissed by Stacy. Zander thought Luke was kissing Stacy, but it wasn't true, she kissed him without his permission and it was wrong. For Stacy's prospective... "After Zander left," Stacy continued "Luke tried to get his attention but I asked for a reply, but... He said something that broke my heart, he said 'I don't like you!', that's what he said and he pushed me away. I decided to follow behind, trying to avoid being noticed and that's when I saw it... He kissed Zander! I was feeling... Devastated." Stacy started sniffing with inadequately.
"Then, when you guys left... I was hiding behind a oak tree, all defeated and absolutely sad. I have loved him for a while now but he just pushed me away like if I was a parasite to him, I walked back inside and stayed quiet for the rest of the day." Stacy said, she released her tears from her eyes down to her cheeks. Jake started to feel bad for Stacy, like if she had suffered enough to the point where she wanted to end it all, he didn't want her to end her life, he cared for her, even though the two barely communicated. "I'm so sorry Stacy," Jake apologized, feeling remorseful for what happened that day. And to top it off like a cherry on a abased cake, Stacy wasn't going to recover from this account. "Is there anything you need?" Jake asked, offering Stacy something "Like?"
"Can we be friends?" Stacy asked, she hardly have friends, well the only ones she has is Daisy, Sadie, Elliot, and Luke... Jake nodded as he held his hand to Stacy, who took it and the two hugged once more. The two let go after a minute, Jake said "Sure, we can be friends. Do you want my contact information?" Stacy pulled out a piece of paper with her phone number in it, saying "Here, keep it confidential though, I have a bit of trust issues and I want you to only share it with those who I trust." Jake nodded as he took the paper and slide it inside his pocket. "Okay, here's my phone number." Jake said as he showed Stacy his phone number on his phone, she typed it out on a notepad and closed her phone. "Thanks. Let's go inside, it's kinda getting cold." The two hold hands, walking to the school while Stacy started blushing slightly pink, wait? Was she now having feelings for Jake?
She just met him.
Well she seen him around the school but this is their first time having a conversation and a few things that can't be destroyed.
She was happy to have someone by her side.
She was very happy...
Days turned into weeks...
Weeks turned into months...
Jake Sterling, a 17 year old boy and Stacy, a 16 year old girl started to form a unbreakable bond that was formed with first eyes. They spend countless hours together, going to multiple cafés, parks, and more outdoor places as friends. Stacy was starting to have more feelings for Jake, she intended to get close to him at any moment, with love and affection. Her feelings for Luke Peterson was fading away into history and Jake was her new partner, well at first somewhere in the future. On the other hand, Jake Sterling was starting to have romantic feelings for Stacy, his interest in Daisy was slowly decreasing because he heard from Sadie that she was actually a lesbian, Jake thought she liked him but she was actually a lesbian. He didn't mind, of course Daisy was already okay with it, she never told her parents about it though because her parents are against it.
That afternoon, it was Friday...
Stacy was typing on her phone to Jake, her fingertips dancing as she leaves a message to Jake, and she seemed happy to hear that Jake was available.
Stacy: Hey Jake. 😊
Jake: Hey Stacy, what's going on?
Stacy: Are you available this afternoon? I wanna tell you something very important.
Jake: Yeah, I'm available. We were supposed to have band practice but Hailey has a knee surgery today, she had an accident a few days ago and I never got around to tell you. I don't think I wanna know how it happened because Zander hadn't told me anything but other than that, what time do you want to meet up?
Stacy: Meet me at my house, at 7:12 pm. Tell Hailey that I send my best wishes to her, I hope she survives the surgery, and I hope she feels better. It's sad to hear that she had an accident. How did it happened? 😔
Jake: Zander never told me. I don't think I wanna know. ❌
Stacy: Okay. I understand. See you at my house later. 🧁🧁🧁
Jake: Okay. 💛
Stacy: 💛
Stacy closed the texting app, placed her phone on her nightstand and walked downstairs. She saw her little sister, Sydney watching Kid vs Kat on YouTube on her iPad. Stacy couldn't stop thinking about that show, so nostalgic? She only saw a few episodes of the series but she cares for it dearly. As she stepped downstairs, she sat next to her sister, watching the moment where it was hilarious and freaking original for the show, and she giggled "Do you like that show?" Stacy asked, playing. "Yeah," Sydney said "Why?"
"Well," Stacy said "Who's your favorite character?"
"I like Millie Burtonburger," Sydney answered "She's smart and way better than her nasty brother. Her brother is just a imbecile and a cheeky boy." Stacy laughed before Sydney asked "And don't you like a character in the show?" Stacy started laughing nervously, saying "What? No! Why would I!?"
"Because I heard that you really liked Dennis back then," Sydney said "Right???" Stacy then said in a playful mood "Oh you! Being up in my business and not understanding my privacy. I bet you don't even know who voice Dennis from the show." Sydney laughed hysterically before saying "I do actually, it's-"
"Don't say it!" Stacy shouted "Don't say it!" Sydney slapped her knee before the two heard a doorbell "I'll get it!" Stacy called out, going to the door to see Jake Sterling. He was standing there, having his hands inside his pockets of his jacket and he had a warm smile on his face "Hey Stacy."
"Hey Jake." Stacy said as she let Jake inside her house, she closed the door and asked "Don't tell me that you overheard my conversation with Sydney?" Jake laughed before saying "I mean, only a little bit. I actually do know who voiced Dennis. Do you wanna know?"
"Nope!" Stacy said in a quick tone "I don't want any spoilers!" She hates spoilers, She hated it when people tells her stuff that she never expected, Stacy is just also clumsy but a great friend and sister. Despite her age, she could imagine if Jake spat out the voice actor for Dennis Lawrence Chan from Kid vs Kat. She doesn't want the surprise to be ruined.
"Okay..." Jake said, he grabbed Stacy's hand and said "Take me to your bedroom your majesty." He was pretending to be a slave for a king or queen, Stacy laughed playfully while saying "Oh Jake Sterling! Don't be too much of a wuss up!" Stacy and Jake headed to Stacy's bedroom that was upstairs, Sydney followed behind like a pup, humming as usual. Jake Sterling and Stacy looked behind at Sydney before Stacy said to her little sister "Sis? What are you doing?"
"Oh come on..." Sydney said "I wanna play!" Jake Sterling laughed before asking "Do you want to wait until later? Because your sister and I are going to study for a biology test and we don't want any disturbances." Sydney made an annoying grin, saying "Come on! I wanna play!" Stacy hates it when her little sister is acting like of she was in Dream Island or something, it was like she was challenging for something that she will never understand or use. Ever.
"Can you wait for us?" Jake asked "If not, I'll take away something very important. Like your stuffed animal?" Sydney remembered what Jake was talking about, her stuffed animal... Her cat plushie that her dad gave her before her mother got remarried. Damn, her mom was a famous model around Rosemeadow. "Okay... I'll wait! But make it quick! I'm hungry." Sydney said, rubbing her stomach with her hands, before letting go and headed downstairs.
"Let's go inside already." Stacy said with annoyance, Jake Sterling opened the door as he said "My Lady." Stacy giggled cutely, making Jake blush even more pink, Stacy walked in and Jake closed the door behind him. "So?" Jake asked, confused about his arrival before Stacy said "Jake... The truth is that I have had feelings for you for a very long time now. Ever since we became close, I started to have feelings for you romantically... I don't know if you feel the same way but I think you can come to like me." Jake Sterling started blushing embarrassedly, but he was surprised. He also had feelings for Stacy, his interest in Daisy had completely disappeared from his heart and Stacy was his new partner.
"Jake Sterling... I love you."
She said...
"Do you feel the same way as me?" Stacy asked, her cheeks still rose-coloured, Jake Sterling looked astonished and said "I love you too... Stacy." Stacy was surprised by his response, she never expected this to happen, but she didn't care.
It was at that moment that Stacy wanted to kiss Jake Sterling very passionately, but despite her age of 16, it might be with caution. Stacy walked towards Jake, placed her hands on Jake's chest and planted a kiss on Jake's lips. Jake's eyes grew like monster truck wheels, surprised to feel his first kiss by someone who isn't his previous crush, Daisy. He wanted to feel Daisy's lips but he realized that Stacy was meant for him.
Stacy deepened the kiss, her tongue digging inside of Jake's mouth, she felt his tongue swirling around on hers, Jake purposely dropped himself onto Stacy's bed, feeling her weight on his chest as she was licking his oral cavity. As Jake was making soft sighs during the kiss, Stacy traced her hands onto Jake's cheeks, squeezing them before the two let go for air, and Stacy smiled. "Want more?" She asked, breathing heavily from the kissing "Let's be careful..." Jake said, breathing heavily as well from the kiss "We're minors and we don't want to conceive at this time, right?" Stacy nodded.
While the two continued kissing, Sydney was seen outside, hearing the noises, making her feel ticklish and astonished. She was happy that her sister finally got herself a boyfriend, someone who isn't like Luke Peterson, since Sydney didn't like Luke that much. She never met him in person but from what Stacy told her, she didn't seem interested in him, she doesn't even want him to be her brother-in-law.
A minute later, Sydney noticed the door opening, Stacy and Jake came out of Stacy's bedroom, holding hands and staring at each other with fondness and the two noticed Sydney staring at the two of them with a idiotic face and said "I couldn't help but notice that you two were having fun... I hope you didn't get pregnant!"
"Hey!" Jake shouted, blushing with embarrassment and continued "We're minors and don't compare us to my brother, Milo!" Sydney then kicked Jake's stomach with her foot before running downstairs. Stacy and Jake began chasing after her downstairs before Sydney grabbed a pillow and began hitting Stacy on her head, not in a violent way but more like in a goofy way. As Stacy grabbed another pillow and started fighting her sister back, while Jake was grabbing another pillow and started hitting Stacy, then Sydney before everyone made an entire mess in the living room. Since Stacy and Sydney's parents are away for the weekend, while their other siblings were away as well, Stacy and Sydney were happier with Jake. Jake Sterling was like a big brother to the two girls. After they finished their pillow fight, they started cleaning up and Jake left the house to go home. He's so happy to finally have a girlfriend, and so is Stacy... She's happy to have a boyfriend, better than Luke.
