We were halfway through the movie when the doorbell rang. I got up, wondering who it would be. I opened the door to see the last person I ever wanted to see. "Happy Birthday Sweetheart!" He greeted. "What the f*ck are you doing here, Anthony?" I glared.

"Hello to you too, Sweetheart," Anthony smirked. "What the f*ck are you doing here?" I repeated my question. "Oh, come on! Sweetheart? You really think I was going to miss your birthday?" He fake-gasped. "Nessa, come on! You know I hate to pause the movie!" Selena called as I could hear her get up and come towards us. "Nessa- what the f*ck are you doing here?" Selena growled as soon as she saw him.

Anthony Wilson

"Hey, Selena! How are you?" Anthony smirked, knowing that it would piss her off. "Guys! Come one you two." I heard my friends call. "You should really invite me in so that you can introduce me to your friends and we can resume whichever movie you were watching. Don't want to keep them waiting, do you?" He scoffed.

I heard some shuffling and understood that all my friends had gotten up to come here. "Anthony? What are you doing here?" Ryan asked him. What? How does he- "How the hell do you know him?" Selena interrupted my thoughts. Before she could answer, we heard a familiar voice. "Anthony?" Stefan asked. Okay...this is getting more and more complicated.

"Firstly, what the heck are you doing here? Secondly, how do you know this a*shole?" I glared at Stefan. "Um..." Stefan looked at Ryan, who just had a confused face. "He is an old friend of mine-" "us. He is a mutual friend. How do you know him?" Ryan asked. "Mutual friend?" I raised my eyebrows. Great. Anthony and Stefan know each other. That perfectly explains how they talk to me.

"What the heck are you both doing here? I don't think you would be interested in coming to a slut's Birthday?" I asked both of them, emphasizing the word slut. "How do you both know him?" Ryan asked. "He is my ex-boyfriend." I glared at Anthony. Dating him is one of the worst things I ever did in my life. "Wow. How come Nessa always gets the hot boys?" Claire muttered. But everyone heard it. I glared at her, while Anthony smirked. Ugh!

"Look, I don't know what you both are doing here, but I don't want you here," I said and slammed the door on both of there faces. Then I walked inside the fort and cuddled with the high Teddy bear. Slowly everyone came back and we resumed the movie. Everyone was silently watching the movie when I heard someone open the main door with the keys. What the hell!?

Stefan's POV

It's official. I like Vanessa. She is different. Rather than running after boys like their tail, she punches them without caring what anyone would think. She is beautiful, smart, and an amazing person. And she is the best kisser. Her soft lips fit perfectly with mine. I like her. But all of my feelings were crushed when I saw the photo of her kissing Kevin.

At first, I didn't believe it. I knew she would never do that to Tessa. But then she accepted it. Abby told me when I and Ryan were at Melvin's. She came stomping inside Melvin's room, cursing at Princess. She told us everything that happened at Starbucks and I was hurt. It was like Nessa had sucked the life out of me.

But then I understood that it was a very very huge misunderstanding. And the way I had reacted, I could not bring myself to apologize to her. One 'sorry' was not going to solve anything. So, I decided that I would make today memorable for her.

All the girls were planning to throw a party, every year. But I suggested otherwise. Selena had the key to Ash's apartment, where Princess was currently staying. I knew that the girls had missed their yearly Halloween sleepover. Now, how did I know that? Well, I and Ryan may or may not have been stalking Princess and Selena since they first stepped in California.

So, I suggested to them the idea of the sleepover and everyone loved it. We distributed the work to everyone and I was assigned the cooking duty. Not to show off or anything but I am an excellent cook.

I cooked all of Princess's favorite dishes and packed them into several picnic baskets. I, Ryan, Melvin, Abby, Claire, and Tessa decorated her living room and transformed it into a blanket fort. We added fairy lights for some extra mood. And that's when I saw everyone keeping their gifts in the center of the fort. And I had forgotten to get her a gift.

So, one hour before Selena was going to bring Princess back, I left to find something perfect for her. But the problem was that I couldn't. She was so perfect that all I could think of was not good enough for her. Finally, I decided that I would give her something afterward, as I still had to apologize to her. So here I was standing in the elevator of Ash's building, planning how I was going to apologize to her.

The lift doors opened and I made my way towards the apartment. I had the keys with me, which Selena had given me just in case Princess didn't let me in, which I had a strong feeling was going to happen.

As I neared the door, I heard some noise. "What the f*ck are you doing here, Anthony?" I recognized the voice to belong to Princess. "Hello to you too, Sweetheart." Another familiar voice said. And why the f*ck is he calling her Sweetheart? "What the f*ck are you doing here?" Princess repeated her question. She seemed pretty angry. She barely swears and when she does, trust me, you don't want to be near her.

"Oh, come on! Sweetheart? You really think I was going to miss your birthday?" The other person fake-gasped. I could hear Selena say something to Nessa. But she stopped when she saw the person standing at the door. Okay. Who the f*ck is that person? "Hey, Selena! How are you?" The person said, trying to piss Selena off. I could hear some shuffling, telling me that all of them had gotten up. "Anthony? What are you doing here?" Another voice, which I assumed belonged to Ryan asked. Wait a minute. Anthony? I haven't heard that name in years.

I heard Selena ask something, when I walked closer, recognizing the person that was standing at the door. "Anthony?" I asked, clearly surprised to see him. "Firstly, what the heck are you doing here? Secondly, how do you know this a*shole?" Princess glared. Oh My God. She is definitely pissed. "Um..." I looked at Ryan for help. I had no idea how to answer a very pissed of Vanessa.

"He is an old friend of mine-" "us." Ryan cut me off. "He is a mutual friend. How do you know him?" Ryan asked Princess. Yeah. How did she know him? "Mutual friend?" Princess raised her eyebrows. I don't think she bought that. I couldn't believe I lied to her face. "What the heck are you both doing here? I don't think you would be interested in coming to a slut's Birthday?" She asked both of us, emphasizing the word slut. Okay. I deserved that. But both of us? What does Anthony have to do with me calling her a sl- "How do you both know him?" Ryan asked, interrupting my thoughts.

"He is my ex-boyfriend." She shot daggers at Anthony like dating him is one of the worst things she ever did in my life. So my old friend is my Princess's ex-boyfriend. Great! But Princess was acting weird around him. It's like she wants him out of here. Obviously, she wants him out of here. There is a reason there is an 'ex' before 'boyfriend'. Yeah right. But it was still more. "Wow. How come Nessa always gets the hot boys?" Claire silently muttered. But everyone heard it. Princess glared at her, while Anthony smirked. I tried hard to suppress my smirk.

"Look, I don't know what you both are doing here, but I don't want you here," I said and slammed the door on both of our faces. She is very angry.

"Hey man! How are you?" Anthony asked me. "I'm great! How did you land up in California today?" I asked out of curiosity, sounding as casual as possible. "Just wanted to trouble someone." He smirked, pointing towards the apartment. I could feel the anger boiling inside me. No one troubles my Princess. "She is a slut, you know? Didn't agree to sleep with me, but slept with the whole town." He continued. How can he say that? How can Princess date this person? I know he is my friend but he is still an a*shole.

"I don't think that's true," I said, trying to be as calm as possible. "Yeah. It is. Trust me. She is going to pay for it." He smirked. Thats it. Without thinking, my hand connected with his face. "Don't you dare lay a finger on her." I glared. "Man! You are whipped. But trust me. She is not who she looks like. She is a slut." He said as he walked away. Ignoring his comment, I unlocked the door with the keys and went inside, when I felt someone hit me on the side.

Vanessa's POV

I heard the main door open with the house keys. What the hell?! I got up and walked to the main door only to see a thief standing in front of me. I couldn't see his face due to the less light. Before I could see his face, my hand connected with the person's side. No thieves allowed in this apartment on my watch. "Ouch! Stop! It's me, Stefan." Stefan said as I could feel my face heat. I seriously thought of him to be a thief. Thankfully, he couldn't see my face.

He turned towards me and a saw his handsome face. He is so hot. Wait. What did I just say? You called him handsome- I don't need a reminder. But what the heck is he doing here? Without thinking much, I punched his face.

I was still angry at him. He still hasn't even apologized and he has the guts to break into the apartment? "Stop punching me." He whined. "Why do you have the keys?" I glared at him. "Selena gave me, in case you didn't allow me inside the apartment." He answered. Selena is going to die.

"Aren't you going to invite me in?" He smirked. "No." I glared at him and walked back to the fort, settling down as we resumed the movie.

**********
After completing Charlie's Angels, we watched The Kissing Booth. I mean, who doesn't like these movies. When I first suggested watching the Kissing Booth, all the boys ( including Stefan, who had invited himself to the party) whined. And now, they all loved the movie. The food in the picnic baskets was amazing. I wonder where had they bought it. And they had ice cream!!

Unfortunately, the power was cut, leading to the ice cream melting. But, it still tasted the best. The TV was not working, so we had lit candles everywhere and we were playing Truth or Dare. Ugh! I hate that game!

"Tessa, truth, or dare?" Selena asked. "Truth!" She stated. "The worst date you've ever been to?" Selena asked. "The Carnival. Kevin had gone to bring me cotton candy, while I stood in the Ferris Wheel line. Some people ahead of me suddenly moved out of the line. The person didn't allow me to wait for Kevin and the line was huge, so I would not be able to ride the Ferris Wheel. So I texted Kevin, who didn't like the Ferris Wheel, to wait for me after the ride. He told me that he has some work so he will come back for me. After the ride, I waited for 2 hours but he didn't come. Then I called Nessa, and she dropped me home." Tessa completed the story.

I remember that day. Tess was fuming. The whole car side was spent in calming her. "Nessa, Truth, or Dare?" Tessa asked. "Dare." I am not a Truth person. I have too many secrets. "I dare you to drink a whole bottle of chilly sauce," Tessa smirked. I sighed and went to the kitchen to bring the chilly sauce. And I started drinking. God! It was very spicy. I could feel my mind telling me to stop. But I knew could handle it. After finishing, I drank three glasses of water of calm my senses. "Melvin, Truth, or Dare?" I asked. "Truth. I am not drinking chilly sauce." He whined, which made us all chuckle.

"The most embarrassing thing you ever did?" I smirked. "Oh. God. We are not going there." He whined. "Oh. Yes. we are." Abby smirked. "Okay. I wouldn't it was most embarrassing but that's all you're gonna get. I didn't like wearing my underwear when I was small. So one day, in 2nd grade, I came to school without them. Unfortunately, the temperature dropped that day, and I peed all over my homework in front of my class." As soon as he completed, we all erupted in laughter. "And thats not the most embarrassing thing?" Selena raised her eyebrows. "No. Trust me. It's not." Abby replied.

This went for almost an hour. The power was back but we still continued the game. I got two more dares, one where I had to put soap in my eyes and the other where I had to howl like the wolf from the window. You might say that I heard many profanities coming from the neighbors. "Stefan, truth, or dare," Ryan asked. "Dare." "Sing a song," Ryan smirked. "What?" Stefan's eyes widened. "Sing a song," Ryan repeated. "No way I am doing that," Stefan whined. "Do it." Ryan deadpanned. Stefan cleared his throat and finally started.

You say love is messed up
You say that it doesn't work
You don't wanna try,
And baby, I'm no stranger
To heartbreak and the pain, of
Always being let go

And I know there's no making this right,
And I know there's no changing your mind,
But we both found each other tonight,
So if love is nothing more
Than just a waste of your time

Waste it on me
Tell me why not waste it on me
Waste it on me
Baby why not waste it on me
Waste it on me
Tell me why not waste it on me
Waste it on me...

He was staring right into my eyes. It was like he was burning a hole in my heart, and making a place for himself in it. I tried but I still couldn't look away. It was like he had hypnotized me.

So we don't gotta go there
Past lovers and warfare
It's just you and me now
I don't know all your secrets
But I'll pick up the pieces
Pull you close to me now

And I know there's no making this right,
And I know there's no changing your mind,
But we both found each other tonight,
So if love is nothing more
Than just a waste of your time

Waste it on me
Tell me why not waste it on me
Waste it on me
Baby why not waste it on me
Waste it on me
Tell me why not waste it on me
Waste it on me...

I knew it was an original song, written by him. Even though the song had a cheery ring to it, I could feel the atmosphere change. I couldn't exactly explain, but something was happening.

Don't you think there must be a reason
Yeah, like we had our names
Don't you think we got another season
That comes after spring
I wanna be your summer
I wanna be your wave
Treat me like a comma
And I'll take you to a new phrase
Come just eat me and throw me away
If I'm not your taste, babe, waste
Waste it on me

And I know there's no making this right,
And I know there's no changing your mind,
But we both found each other tonight,
So if love is nothing more
Than just a waste of your time

Waste it on me
Tell me why not waste it on me
Waste it on me
Baby why not waste it on me
Waste it on me
Tell me why not waste it on me
Waste it on me
Tell me why not...

The song ended. Everyone started clapping. I wanted to clap too. But my hands were frozen, just like my eyes, which were staring right towards Stefan's eyes, which were staring back at me. He was hypnotizing me. And now I was realizing what was happening.

I was falling for him. Even through the insults, the cocky remarks, and the fights, he was a good person. If he hadn't been there, nothing of me would have left after Ethan entered into a coma. Someway or the other, he made small holes in the wall, that was surrounding me. He made his way to my heart. And now I finally realize it.

I like Stefan Thompson.
