CSI NY High School

Chapter1: At a sleepover things start getting interesting

Stella and Lindsay were sitting on the floor in Stella's room drinking blackberry Arbor Mist. They were only sixteen but Stella's foster mom didn't care as long as she wasn't bothered while she was with Ted.

"Come on guys let me in!" Stella and Lindsay hear Alyssa whine from behind the door. "Stel it's my room too!"

Stella rolled eyes and Lindsay smiled, "Alyssa me and Lindsay need to by our self's for awhile. There's stuff we need to talk about and we can't talk about it in front of you."

Alyssa was only 10 and a pain in the ass, she was like a real little sister to Stella. Stella, Alyssa, Christopher, and Abigail all lived there with their foster mom Janet.

Stella had been sent here after a sister at her other foster home had ran away. It had hurt Stella the girl was the closest thing she ever had to a sister. They had been blood sister they promised each other forever and ever.

Janet took in foster kids just to get the money she didn't really care about the kids. The only thing she really cared about was herself and Ted. Ted was her on off boyfriend.

Ted was a middle aged man with thin brown gray hair. He had stubble lining his upper lip and chin and green eyes. He was also a jerk and slime ball. He would always make innuendo comments toward Stella.

Stella hated when Ted would come over and Wait for Janet to get off her waitress job. He would down and the couch his eyes following her and looking he up and down as she helped take care of the younger kids. Stella had been an orphan since she could remember and it was hard Janet was one of the foster parents who hardly took care of the kids she took in. So Stella brought it upon herself to look out for them while she could, protect them.

Alyssa huffed and walked away from the locked door. Alyssa always followed Stella around like a lost puppy or something. Alyssa had long brown hair and blue eyes. Alyssa sat down on the couch. Johnny who was 7 was watching cartoons and eating a bowl of chili Stella had made Janet couldn't have cared less if they ate. Christopher had brown hair and ocean blue eyes. He had Stella wrapped around his little finger with his crooked smile. Abigail who was 4 was sleeping on a cot in a corner of the living room. She had short to above her shoulders blonde hair and watery green eyes. Stella was very protective of her, of all of them.

After Alyssa left Stella smiled and turned back to Lindsay. Lindsay wasn't a rebel but to get the truth out of Stella she needed her guards down. Lindsay knew the alcohol would crumble Stella's walls at least for the night. Lindsay wore her long blonde hair in a pony tail. Her hazel eyes shone bright showing she was buzzed and fully awake.

Stella had long brown with a little bit of blond curly hair and Green eyes that shone like emeralds. She didn't drink a lot but tonight she needed a break and Linds was her best friend, someone she could let loose with.

Stella took another sip of the wine. They were in the room she shared with Alyssa. It had white walls with peeling paint making the room seem musty and dank. Next to the right wall in the corner was a twin bed an All American Rejects poster on the wall above it. In the left corner on the other side was a cot that Alyssa used and on it laid a brown tattered teddy bear with a red bow tie. Alyssa called him Professor Buttons because his eyes were made out of night black colored buttons.

Other than the poster on the walls the walls were bare. Opposite the twin bed in the other corner was a six set drawer. Three of the drawers belong to Stella the other three belonged to Alyssa. They also shared a small closet next to the drawer. There was night stand next to Stella's bed it had a light, Alarm clock and CD player on it. The CD player was blaring a mix CD. The song right then was kiss me Through the Phone, by Souja Boy.

Lindsay and Stella sat in the middle of the room both of them on a mission to get the other to confess that they liked a certain person. Stella could obviously see without a doubt that Lindsay was attracted to Danny Messer the bad boy in there adv. Chemistry class. While Lindsay could see that Stella had fallen for her best friend since kindergarten Mac Taylor.

The sat Indian style opposite each other, trying to figure out how to get the other one to confess. The atmosphere in the room was one of concentration. Lindsay sat her eyebrows knitting together as she thought.

Stella thought what the hell and decided to dive in, "So Danny being looking pretty good huh?"

"What?" Lindsay says confused at her sudden change in topic. Not to mention her topic of change Danny Messer. Lindsay had a huge crush on the guy and he kind of flirted with her calling her Montana. She had moved to New York a Year or two ago from Montana. So he stuck her with the nickname which she constantly corrected him on that her name was Lindsay. In truth though Lindsay sort of like her nickname it meant he cared enough to make her one. Still there was no one she was going to tell Stella how she felt because she knew Stella would try to play matchmaker.

"Danny what do you think about him?" Stella knew how she felt of course, but she also knew she had to get Lindsay to admit it before she could do anything. Stella looked at her curious as to what she would say.

Lindsay was tongue tied this is not where they're conversation was suppose to be heading. "Hold on this is not about me and Danny this is about you and Mac."

Stella smiled "So there's a you and Danny huh?"

Then the rest of Lindsay sentence caught up with Stella, "Wait what do you mean me and Mac?" Stella's Jaw dropped she was stunned. How did their conversation suddenly turn to her and Mac.

'Damn it', Lindsay thought, 'why did she always have to say the first thing that came to her head. Stella was still stunned but she patiently waited for Lindsay answer when she heard some run to the door.

"Stel!" She heard Alyssa shout as she got to the door, "We need your help".

Stella sighs and goes to the door opening it, "What's up munchkin?" She crouched down so she could be eye level with her pain in the ass little 'sister'.

Alyssa looked out of breath but fine so Stella hoped it wasn't something serious like Janet finally overdosed. "Abby woke up and she's screaming and crying said she won't stop till she sees you."

Stella smiled and got Lindsay to follow as they walked down the short hall to the living room. The living room had fake wood walls and was right next to the kitchen. The only them separating was the linoleum floor of the kitchen. The carpet in the living room was blue grayish and sort of worn.

The television sat against the right wall a couch in front of it just opposite. It was green and tattered just like the bear. To the left on the wall sat a bookcase will a million knick knacks not one being a book. It front of the bookcase was a cot with a crying Abigail on it wearing a pink night shirt. The night shirt had a bear on it cooking blueberry pancakes for breakfast. The shirt went down to Abigail's ankles. Abby was crying her eyes were closed so she didn't see Stella.

"Princess Abby stop that crying right now", Stella said in a make believe mad voice. The little girls eyes shot open and when she saw Stella she ran to her. Stella laughed and picked Abigail up in a hug. "So was this I hear about you giving Alyssa and Christopher a hard time."

Abigail started to play with one of Stella's curls. Her lower lip trembled I Abigail said, "I was scared, I thought you had left."

"Oh come on Princess Abby, you know Queen Stella would never leave, especially not without you, Christopher, and Alyssa." Stella says in a soft know as not to sound as if she's scolding the girl.

'Queen Stella', Lindsay mouths to Alyssa who just shrugs like she didn't get it either.

Stella just smiles and replies to Abby request of a movie with, "Why don't you play Wii with me and Linds." Abby's face lit up did Christopher and Alyssa's, "We'll set it up and you three can play against me and Linds."

Stella turns towards Lindsay, "What do you say Linds, you and me against them?"

Linds puts her hand up in the air and Stella meets her clasping each other's hand they smile. A second later Stella puts Abigail and Lindsay and Stella start setting up the game.

Lindsay had brought the Wii over since Janet was in no way able to afford one most of the checks she got from her job went to alcohol or drugs. Then again the money she got for taking care of the children and Stella went to mostly the same thing. That was exactly one of the reason's Stella had a job its not like Janet cared where she was so she didn't know.

So after had everything set up the girls pushed the couch back so they're be enough space and it wouldn't be in the way. Lindsay ran to Stella's room to get the games out of her pink Jan Sports bag. Why Lindsay got out the game they were going to play Stella Coaxed Alyssa and Christopher into their pajama's. Alyssa wore Hannah Montana Pajamas and pink slippers while Christopher wore Spider man pajamas and Sponge bob Slippers. The girl got on their pajamas as well. Stella wore a pair of silk emerald green pajamas that matched her eyes and Lindsay wore baby blue pajamas that had pink hearts all over them.

Stella decided her and Lindsay would teach the other's how to play the started with Wii sports, Lindsay had already put the disk in. They started with bowling, Lindsay had a pro status where as Stella didn't play as much and her highest score was a 193. Lindsay was first players so her ball was blue and since she was a pro it had stars and wavy lines on it.

Stella was second player and her ball was pink and she was sure she was going to get pro this time.

Lindsay Mii looked exactly like her except it had short blonde hair they had made it last Christmas and she hadn't changed it yet. Stella's Mii also looked exactly like her it even had a green shirt to match her eyes. The younger kids sat on the couch from left to right Christopher, Abby, and Alyssa. So Lindsay rolled first swinging her back holding B and the swinging in front letting go of B. She got a strike her first time she threw her hands up in the air smiled and Stella gave her a hi five. Stella's turn was next and she rolled a nine then a spare. At the end of their game Lindsay stood with a 220 and Stella stood with a 216.

"Almost Stel I got to tell you much harder to beat then any of my family."

Okay so Who wants to play winner?" Stella asks.

Lindsay got an idea, "We can play four player using two or one remote."

Stella smiled, "Great Chris you and Alyssa against Lindsay and Abby."

Stella handed her remote over to Chris he would be second player Lindsay would be first again. Abby would go third and Alyssa would go last there for she would know what she needed to get to win.

Christopher was exceptionally good this being his first time actually playing Wii. Lindsay as always played great got a strike her first time again. Abby was only four so Stella would help her figure out how to throw the ball. Alyssa wasn't struggling she got spare's almost throughout the whole game she just couldn't get a strike which aggravated her.

Lindsay won again this time with a 235 apparently the 220 was just her warming up. Alyssa came in second with 210 and the Chris with 194 and Abby had a 175.

They played Tennis, Bowling, Boxing, baseball, Golf, and Mario karts before the kids finally got tired.

Stella moved Abby's cot into her and Alyssa's room. Stella kissed Abby on the head and soon the little girl was asleep. Stella gave Alyssa a hug goodnight and a kiss on the cheek. Christopher didn't do hugs so she just shared a special handshake with him. When she got back to the living room Lindsay had put up the wii and was sitting on the couch smiling brightly at her.

Stella looked at Lindsay curiously, "What up with you and why do I know I probably won't like it." Stella sit down next to Lindsay who is still smilingly insanely bright at her. Lindsay hold up the notebook she was holding so Stella could see it. It was a original 3 ring notebook. The page Lindsay was holding up was blank except for at the top where Lindsay had wrote in caps the word MASH.

"No. nun uh, no way", Stella said an incredulous look on her face. Stella couldn't believe Lindsay wanted to play that game Stella hadn't played it since she was fourteen and even back then she didn't believe any of it. Stella's face turned into a smile remembering that when she had played it she had been at school. Mac was there when she found out that he was her husband in the game her face turned bright red while he just smiled charming as ever.

"Oh come on Stella, please!", Lindsay said her hands in front of her in a stance like she was praying. Stella rolled her eyes and finally gave she thought it's just a game what was the worst that could happen. Lindsay smiled so brightly she could have been the sun. Plan B was on schedule and going as planned unlike plan A were Stella had expertly turned the tables. "Okay So who are the tree guys at school that you would actually marry?"

"Ugh!' Stella lets her head fall back already knowing was not going to turn out good. Stella knowing Lindsay wants her to say Mac so she smiles and says. "Hmm.. Don, Brendon, and… Drew."

Lindsay frowns, "our you crazy Drew come on he's psycho, he pulled the head off my Barbie when we were in kindergarten. So I'll pick the third for you" Lindsay say Quickly so Stella Can't object. "And I pick Mac" Lindsay writes Mac's name down.

Lindsay's Voice bubbly again, "okay now next subject kids."

Twenty minutes later Lindsay had all the information she needed written down. She made a swirl and told Stella to say stop. Stella had said Stop after only a few seconds. "Okay Nine Lindsay says and hold the paper where Stella See it and Starts to map out Stella's Future smiling the whole time.

Stella was not liking this at all Lindsay's smile made her cautious. Lindsay was a best friend as far as friends go, but she also had a knack for trying to play matchmaker. Usually she would also get Stella and Jess Angell involved. Jess Angell was Stella and Lindsay's third person in their triangle they always hung out together the only reason Jess hadn't came over was because it was Saturday night and this certain Saturday night she had a date with her boyfriend Don Flack.

Don Flack was like a older brother he always tried to protect her and all the other's in their group. Don had a crush on Angell for a year or two before he finally got the courage to ask her out and they had been going strong since then. Stella and Lindsay loved it those two were just too cute together.

This all got Stella thinking about what they all called their group there was of course Jess and Don. The next one she thought of Was Adam Ross him and Kendall were both a year younger than everyone else but they just sort of fit with them plus they were in the same grade since they skipped one. Adam was eccentric and a little geeky but also sweet and cute in a little brother kind of way. Kendall was like Adam other side they always competed against each other in anatomy class actually any class. You could always hear

Kendall giggling over something Adam said that she thought was funny.

There was also Danny Messer the New York born bad boy. He was a joker most of the time and most of the girls swooned over him including Lindsay. Danny had short brown hair that spiked in the front and he had a dazzlingly smile that made you melt. When he looked at you. You could get lost in his eyes and he made you believe you had his complete attention.

Lindsay and Stella were part of the group and then there is Sheldon Hawks he was their walking encyclopedia . He knew information over almost everything and was a book whiz. His favorite class was anatomy and got along great with their anatomy teacher Sid Hammerback.

Now last but not least in their group was Mac Taylor. Mac was sort of their leader well more like he was their leader before Peyton came along. Mac now spent most of his time with Peyton him either following her or her dragging hin along with her. Mac had short brown hair that spiked up when he ran his hand through it cause he was nervous. He had soft blue eyes that got a deeper shade when he was angry. He was strong and confident and made you respect with his air of respect for you. Stella always got a boost to her ege when he would compliment her though she had a crush on him she would never tell him or anyone else.

"Okay Stel", Lindsay's voice pulled Stella out of her thoughts, "you will be happy to know you will be living in a house."

Stella smiled, "Yes that is absolutely great news now go on get to the part I know you are going to enjoy who did I marry."

Still smiling Lindsay looked back at the paper her seat on the couch barely containing her. She didn't understand why Mac and Stella were the only who couldn't see how much they liked maybe even loved each other. "You Stella Bonasera will marry the one and only Mac Taylor."

Stella even though she knew it was coming looked shocked her jaw to the floor. Lindsay couldn't wait for Stella's reaction her face was priceless. Lindsay 1 and Stella 0 Lindsay thought and cheered in her mind.

"No way Linds you totally manipulated I want a redo."

Now Lindsay had a shocked look on her face, "I did not Stel you just don't want to admit that you like him."

Stella starts to laugh she couldn't believe here and Lindsay were fighting over whether she liked Mac or not.

Lindsay was looking at Stella and was wondering why she was laughing. "What's so funny?"

"Linds me and Mac have been best friends since like forever not to mention I think him and Peyton are cute together."

"Liar!" Lindsay says "You know you dislike them as much as everyone else."

Stella gets confused, "what do you mean like everyone else?"

Lindsay scoffs, "Oh come on Stella you know like everyone else that Mac's changed since Peyton came around. He doesn't hang around with us anymore. He goes and hangs around with Peyton and her snobbish friends."

Stella rolls her eyes, "Lindsay it hasn't got that bad and Peyton's friends are okay a little …"

"They're snobbish British wannabes, Stel I can't believe you of out of all of us you should be the one who's the most mad. Peyton has stolen your man."

"Linds! Mac is not my man I have no claim on him." When Stel said that for some reason it fell like someone was squeezing her heart. It was true though Mac was just her best friend she had no claim on him, right? And even if she did like Mac she was not telling Lindsay because she would tell Danny and he had a big mouth.

"Oh come on why are you Mac so stubborn and set on being just friends."

Stella sighed this was not good if they didn't stop soon this was going to spiral into a shouting match. Stella loved Lindsay like a sister but sometimes she pushed her too far. "Has it ever occurred to you that maybe best friend is all Mac and I will ever be? Plus I am not going to try to break him and Peyton up. He really likes her and I'm happy for him." Lindsay grumbles something Stella can't make and She rolls her eyes, "How about we just go on to kids?"

"Three" Lindsay says trying to formulate a plan C which she didn't have because she was positive plan A or B was going to work. After there little adventure into their futures they decided they would get something to eat. They decided on Frozen Pizza which Lindsay was not allowed to get out of the oven anymore because of the time they were at her house and she got burned. They decided to cook a large pepperoni pizza and they got two cokes. It took around 16 to 18 minutes for the pizza to cook.

Lindsay found the pizza cutter in a counter drawer between the fridge and sink. It was one of the plastic pizza cutter that was suppose to be able to cut people while not being able to cut people. They way Stella guessed kids could use it and their parents could feel safe their kids wouldn't get hurt. It was amazing Janet had one since she seemed to not be able to care less what happened to the kids in her control as long as she got the checks for them she was good.

Stell had got a mahogany colored scrunchy from her room and put her hair in a ponytail before they started to cook. When the timer went off she got up checked and pulled it out. Stella cut the pizza into eight pieces and the girls both got two pieces and sat down in the living room. With their food and drinks on the coffee table Lindsay and Stella looked for a movie to watch. Lindsay finally settled on pirates of the Caribbean and Stella gave her a curious look.

"What, Johnny Depp happens to be cute to me?"

Stella smiles, "At least you're not obsessed with Orlando Bloom."

Lindsay laughs, "You're one to talk you like Lt. Dan from Forrest Gump." Lindsay says sitting down on the couch. She grabbed her plate tasting the food making sure they left it in long enough.

"What can I say must be a guy in uniform", Stella says putting the disc in the DVD player. She looked over her shoulder at Lindsay, "I have an acquired taste in men deal with it." She sat the case to the movie on the table and sat on the right side of the couch opposite Lindsay's side.

Lindsay and Stella were finished eating and 20 min into the movie neither really paying attention both were silently thinking. Stella knew that Lindsay was obviously trying to get her to admit she liked Mac, which she did. But Mac was with Peyton and he was happy. So Stella was going to let it be that was all she really wanted was Mac happy. Peyton made Mac happy and Stella had accepted that she just didn't understand why she wouldn't to vomit when she saw them together. She liked Mac but she had liked guys before and it never felt like this when she saw them with different girls. Stella shook her head trying to clear her mind and tried to get her focus back on the movie.

Lindsay bit her nail while she thought she really had to rid of that habit. Truth of Dare wasn't a game Lindsay particularly liked and she hadn't played it in a long time but Stella was her best friend and she needed to be happy. Lindsay knew that Mac being with Peyton didn't make Stella happy but Stella just pushed her real feelings aside and acted happy pasting a smile on her face.

Lindsay knew Stella had been in foster can since she could remember and know showing her true feelings was a way for her to protect herself. Lindsay though was her best friend other than Jessica Angell there third partner and crime. Lindsay wished Jess was there she could help her get Stella to admit her feelings. Stella had a high sense of self preservation and the liquor seemed not to be working great. But Lindsay would not give up her stubborn streak she got from her dad and it was almost as good as Stella's.

Lindsay smiles and looks at Stella, "Hey Stell up for a little game of truth and dare?'

Stella laughed, "Okay Lindsay know more liquor for you, What are we 12?"

Lindsay frowned, "Come on Stell it will be fun who knows what could happen?"

Stella smiled and looked at Lindsay. She gave in and sighed her alright.

"Great!" Lindsay say her hands clasping together. "Truth or Dare Stell?" Linday ask giving away an evil smiling making Stella cautious knowing Lindsay always has something up her sleeve."

"Dare" Stella says knowing Lindsay was counting on her to pick truth and going on the safe road. Lindsay would have to try harder than that. Stella wasn't just going to give in this challenge for Lindsay had just begun.

Lindsay was a little crestfallen by Stella picking Dare. But immediately got an idea that would just be entertaining but also lead to some questions from Mac. "I dare you Stella Bonasera to prank cal Mac Taylor."

Stella was again not for the first time that night shocked at what Lindsay had come up with. "Linds exactly how much have you had to drink tonight?"

"Un-uh no joke Stell that's your dare I want you to prank call Mac."

Stella couldn't believe this, "No way he knows my number."

"Calm down your going to use my phone" Lindsay says. She jumped of the couch and got a pink phone of a charger in Stella's room and brought it to her. Lindsay smiles and holds up the phone to Stella he doesn't have my number Lindsay says smiling.

Stella frowns but takes the phone and starts dialing Mac's number from memory. It rang 3 times before Mac finally answers saying, "Taylor".

Stella always thought it was strange he answered his phone with his last name but that was Mac. Hearing Mac's voice made Stella freeze. She hadn't thought about anything to say or what to do. Mac got worried on the other line and said, "Hello?". Stella hung up the phone and threw to Lindsay it landed in her lap.

Lindsay looked at Stella confused, "Did someone else answer or something?"

Stella shook her head and whispered, "No". Lindsay know sat there waiting for Stella to explain what was wrong.

Stella bit her bottom lip like she always did when she was nervous or scared. "I don't know what to say I have never prank called anyone."

Lindsay was now the one shocked, "For real … Wow in Montana me and my brother Trent used to do it all the time."

Trent Monroe was Lindsay's older brother he was very protective and seemed to be very suspicious of Danny.

Now Stella felt even more out of place she had never really had any friends until high school she didn't seem it but when you first meet Stella she would be really shy. Most of her friends had approached her first. Mac had approached when they were little kids she was playing with a Barbie and he offered her his G.I. Joe to be the husband. Jessica and Stella had became friends in 7th grade when Frankie Mala had been harassing her and Jessica said if he didn't walk away he would be sorry. Of course that didn't scare him til Don and Jess's Brothers showed behind. That made Frankie scampered away like a scared little mouse. Then Lindsay moved from Montana and Jess had Taken Lindsay under her wing them all becoming friends.

Lindsay thought for a while then smiled I got it you'll call and we can pretend to know him from school. We can act like were both lovesick in love with him and act hysterically happy to just be talking to him." Lindsay smiled her "I rock" smile and looked at Stella to she if she agreed with the plan.

Stella thought about it, "You know what that's so crazy it might actually work."

Stella dialed Mac number again this time it only rang once before he picked it up, "Okay who is this?"

Stella turned her voice more girly like she was a twelve old talking to one of the Jonas Brothers. "Uh hello is this one Mac Taylor?"

Mac was confused who the hell would call someone phone not knowing who they were. Also he obviously didn't know this person their voice was familiar but way to hyper you could say to be one of his friends. "Uh, yes who is this I am talking too."

Stella smiled, "Oh I'm candy I got to school with you and got your phone out of the girl's bathroom on C hall."

Lindsay covered her mouth trying to stifle the giggles while Mac on the other end of the line was standing there frozen look of horror on his face.

Stell gestured to Lindsay to come closer so she could here Mac's replies to her questions, "And I was just wondering if what they wrote was true." Lindsay thought her idea was good but decided Stella's improve was way better.

Mac finally got his voice back, "Uh if what was um… true what did they write?"

"You don't know?" Stella says and giggles.

From the girl giggling on the other side of the line Mac thought it must be something horrible. Mac drew his right hand down his face. He was laying on his bed in the middle of his bedroom his phone had been on his night stand he had been finishing a research report for his literature class on his computer when his phone went off. He then jumped on his bed a made a long reach for the phone. " Would you please tell me exactly what you read?" Mac asks.

Mac was dreading what the stall said he was also wondering who the hell would write something about him in the girls bathroom. The only girls he hung out with were Stella, Peyton, Lindsay, Jess, and Kendall. They all were his friends though they wouldn't write something about him in a girl's bathroom.

Truth be told Peyton was more than a friend to Mac. Peyton was his girlfriend they had been going out for two months now. Peyton had moved to New York from London. Peyton had warm chocolate brown eyes and shiny straight brown hair. Peyton had perused Mac for three months before he gave in.

If Mac was be on Truth we would also have to admit Stella was more than just his friend. Stella was his best friend, his partner in crime, his other half. They had been friends since they were really young they were inseparable. Stella had spent a lot of her young life at Mac's She had spend a lot of weekends there.

Stella couldn't believe that someone would actually write something about him on a bathroom stall. Stella's face at the moment was turning bright red she had no idea how to say what she had to. Stella Bit her nail and Said into the phone, " Well your number and a size in inches plus a sentence that said if your looking for some fun call this number."

Mac's face was as white as paper and he looked like he had just seen a horrible crime. This was very different that what he expected. There were rumors going about him and his sex life what the fuck. Who at the damn school other than Peyton would even know about his sex life. "Did this happen to be signed by the writer?'

Shit! Stella thought, "Um no why do you ask?"

Right then Mac go an incoming call it was his best friend Don Flack "Excuse me Candy right but I have another call how about we talk some other time."

"yeah sure" Stella says quickly hanging up the phone glad to be done with that.

Lindsay was almost fell off the couch she was laughing so bad. This was so freaking hilarious and The looks Stella had been making oh my God.

Stella decided best way to forget about her experience was to give one to Lindsay." Okay Linds truth or dare?"

"Truth"

Stella knew exactly What to ask Lindsay, "How do you really feel about Danny?"

Lindsay looked up at Stella, "how about we do a truce."

"Too late" Stella smiles knowingly at her.

Lindsay bit her thumbnail, how did Stella always turn this around on her? Of course she liked Danny but she needed want to tell anyone. She knew she could trust Stella with the secret but she still didn't want anyone to know. Lindsay had always found it better to admire from afar. Especially with an over protective brother who had got a bee bee gun when he was 7 and knew how to shoot a gun ever since.

Lindsay knew experiencing he feelings for Danny would make them real and she did really not want to handle that. Not to mention she knew Danny probably didn't feel the same way towards her.

"Umm … Can I change to dare?"

Sorry Lind's no changes allowed the game is called truth or dare not I don't like truth so I'll change to dare and you already chose?"

"We'll I changed my mind come on Stel please?"

"You know by me letting you change the dare will be more extreme."

"Anything I eat anchovies, skinny dip, whatever."

"Anything…really well sorry dear but I only have one command. Stella did the smile that made you literally back away because you know something evil or dangerous is about to come your way. "You shall profess your love to the one and only Danny Messer, you have till the end of Monday afternoon.

Lindsay's eyes big like a doe's she stared like she had three heads, "You can't possibly be serious she said?" Lindsay felt like laughing at this hysterical idea. There was freaking way she was saying any of that nonsense to Danny on Monday.

"Nope totally the truth you did say anything."

"yep but I thought you'd make me drink pickle juice or eat dog food."

Stella's nose scrunched up a little at the thought of eating dog food, "okay first dog food eww, and second I don't eat pickles you know that."

Lindsay covered her face with her hands either Stella was excellently avoiding her or really didn't get the point of her distress. "Stel that is so not the point."

Stella look confused you were trying to make a point? Okay then kiddo what's your point.

Lindsay rolled her eyes sometimes that nickname seemed so ridiculous. For one Lindsay was no more a kid and Stella and her when in the same freaking grade. So were Adam and Kendall in their grade but they had skipped a few grades the brainiacs. They were smart but seemed like Lindsay they were sometime pain's in the ass they loved to bicker and compete against each especially when the teacher was around they tried to seem smarter than the other. Can you say kiss ups?

"I was trying to explain that me and Danny don't have the kind of feeling towards each other."

Stella fall back on the cushions of the couch, "Great I'm feeling with a girl in love who is in denial."

"I am not in denial Stella and I am definitely not in love with arrogant, womanizer Danny Messer. Lindsay just figured how insulting to Danny that sounded and how defensive of her self it sounded. Oh god she was going to have to tell Stella the truth to get out of this one.

But she couldn't she was one to talk about her personal feelings that what a journal was for. She said Journal and not diary because the word diary sounded so girly and childish. Journal was sophisticated and unique not a lot of girls used it. I mean come on who's going to write dear journal. Of course her Journal had the Name Danny Messer in it a zillion times some times she even bubbled his name and colored it in his name looked really good in red.

Stella was studying Lindsay who was deep in thought probably for got about her own surroundings. Stella did that a lot when she was around Mac forget where she was just them existed. Her and him the best friends each other rocks they would always be there for each other no matter what. Did she love him and just not acknowledge it?

Lindsay Shook her head out of her thought and focused on the problem at hand, "Stel I know you love to play matchmaker but maybe you should work on Jess and Don."

Stella gave and exasperated sigh, "but there are already together!" Stella whined. Then Stella smiled, "and you and Daniel would be a challenge."

"Daniel?'

Stella laughed, "I know what was I thinking would should defiantly stick to Danny."

"Yeah" Lindsay bit her nails again.

"You know Lindsay that's a nasty habit you should try putting pepper on your nails trust me you would learn to stop."
