❛ and isn't it just so pretty to think all along there was some invisble string tying you to me ❜ ◞ stella's relationship with her favorite people
⠀ ⧽ stella and molly
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 molly is stella’s freshman year roommate
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 they were random roommates so they didn’t know much about each other except for the small talk texting they did
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 they easily made friends with each other once they met and practically do everything together
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 they go for random walks around campus, go to the library when one of them has homework even if the other doesn’t, they do crafts together, etc.
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 apart they’re very antisocial but together they suddenly can talk to anyone and everyone that walks by
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 they love love love to share clothing!
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 sometimes if they find out they have the same thing they’ll wear it and match
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 they try to have classes together if they can, which is always a really bad idea but it’s fine
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 never take the two of them to an ice cream parlor or really anywhere that sells ice cream
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 sometimes they’ll get the need to rearrange their room and will, usually they’ll push their beds together to make one massive one (this is their favorite layout, no notes)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 get friendship bracelets the week after they meet
⠀ ⧽ stella and rory
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 rory is like stella’s other older sister
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 she’s in one of her dance classes and takes her under stella’s wing (which is also how she meets/gets close to brigida)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 while the two of them don’t particularly like the same style of dance, they’ll always watch each other and give them corrections if they ask
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 they’re always doing homework together after rehearsal or class
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 if it’s late at night and they have homework to do, they’re hitting the only coffee shop that’s open that late and hunkering down, still dressed in their leotard and tights
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 somehow they always end up getting each other coffee before dance too, so they’ll each have two drinks and usually brigida will take one and they’ll find someone else to give the other to
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 rory is very protective over stella especially when it comes to other girls in the class
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 she knows how girls can act and she will not tolerate anyone hurting stella’s feelings
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 stella and her bond over butterflies because she notices rory has one tattooed behind her ear
❛ i like me better when i'm with you ❜ ◞ two girls who didn't know what love was until they met each other, but they couldn't get together on their own
⠀ ⧽ the history of starah
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 they first meet their freshman year at the first frat party of the year
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 stella is all but dragged by viv, her older sister, even tho she hates the feeling of being surrounded by a mass amount of people in a new place
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 she pretty much sticks to viv side throughout the first thirty minutes of the party, getting introduced to azzi, paige, kk, and the rest of the team
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 when she meets sarah, she kind o fnotices how quiet she is and same goes for sarah, so when viv gets dragged off by her friends and the rest of the team disperses once more leaving the two of them alone, they kind of just decide to stay together
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 they make very awkward small talk that consists of the usual college questions you get asked “what’s your major?” “where you from?”, etc.
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 viv eventually makes her way back to her sister because she knows she’ll probably start complaining about heading back to her dorm before the clock even strikes midnight
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 when she sees her talking to sarah she kind of furrows her eyebrows in shock but has a small smirk on her lips because this is the first time this has happened in awhile where stella got so comfortable with someone quickly
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 she approaches them, asking stella if she wanted to go soon and when she says yes, sarah tells viv she’ll walk her back if viv isn’t ready to go yet
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 sarah leads stella back to her dorm, their small talk a little less awkward but still shy
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 sarah tells her that if she ever needs another guide to text her and they exchange numbers
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 after that, viv starts bringing sarah up in conversations and notices the slight blush stella gets on her cheeks every time she hears her name
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 viv is not the only one who notices the spark between stella and sarah because kk starts interrogating sarah too and tries to get her to admit it
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 the next time they see each other is at the next frat party, they both kind of immediately go to one another
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 once the party has come and gone, viv and kk form their little operation (operation starah aligned)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 phase one: baby steps
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 slowly, sarah and stella start running into each other more; whether it’s because viv sent stella to pick up food where she knew sarah was getting it from or because kk and viv wanted to study in the library and brought sarah and stella along, respectively
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 somewhere near the middle to end of this phase, sarah recognizes her feelings for stella and will vaguely acknowledge them out loud
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 the team is at practice and everyone’s asking the freshman how they’re year is going and if they’re getting adjusted. kk is the one to bring up the topic of crushes and sarah kind of just says she’s seen someone around campus she might like but leaves it at that
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 stella only finds it odd that she sees her everywhere but doesn’t pay too much attention to it
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 phase two: disappearing act
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 this is when kk and viv start making plans and suddenly forgetting about them/can’t come or having sarah/stella fill in for them (stella asking viv to pick her up from the studio but viv making her ask sarah instead because she’s already in bed or kk having plans to hang out with them and then remembering she has an assignment due the next day)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 over these two phases, sarah and stella get close; going on late-night shopping runs, having study “dates”, etc.
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 sarah will offer to pick stella up from the studio more often now that she’s started to know her schedule (especially when it’s a late night and doesn’t want her walking back in the dark)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 they start to text each other a shit ton, there is never a moment where one of them didn’t have a message from the other sitting in their notification center
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 phase three: gshooha (get stella’s/sarah’s head out of her ass)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 viv knows stella is truly, madly, deeply crushing on sarah but she also knows her sister and knows she’s had a crappy track record with liking people and a very shitty experience with a guy in high school
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 she has a talk with her, and in result of that conversation stella ends up writing a letter in the late hours of the night, practically pouring her feelings out on the sheet(s) of paper
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 viv lowkey reads the letter (not cool but it’s for the plot) and tells sarah about it and somehow sarah knows she’s telling the truth (“i know my sister, and sttella won’t make the first move. if you want her, you have to”)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 phase four: happy ever after
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 kk and viv help sarah plan the cutest most perfect date for the two of them and that’s when sarah asks her to be her girlfriend

⠀ ⧽ stella's personality
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 stella is very shy at first, hates being the one to reach out and make friends, but once you get to know her, it’s like you unlock a whole other person. she’s very bubbly but has a dry and somewhat dark sense of humor, but that’s because of her dad. she’s always been a hopeless romantic, watching old romcoms with her grandma. loves exploring and going to new places, but she has to have a friend with her because sometimes she gets really scared to talk to people and ask for help finding where she’s going
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 likes ◞ adventuring, trinkets (especially if they’re pink), late nights in the studio, lyrical dances, journaling, spacing out in a crowded space while choreographing, rainy days (plus the smell right after it rains), trying new flavors of ice cream, painting, showers after a long rehearsal, animals
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 dislikes ◞ buying new pointe shoes and breaking them in (tho it is a great stress reliever), taking off her warm ups, talking to new people, people who think she's a sterotypical mean dancer, her sister going through her diary, losing something she wanted to keep for her journa, the words "one more time (from the top)"
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 quirks ◞ collects things for scrapbooking (usually things from restaurants like the paper lining or their logo off a menu, ticket stubs, stamps, etc.), doing a step over and over again until it's perfect and then a few times after that, hearing a song in public and scrambling to save it bc she thinks it's a great song to dance too, booping people's noses when she's happy to see them
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 fears ◞ breaking her ankle doing osmething stupid and not being able to dance, her dreams of owning a dance studio failing, being made fun of because she loves love
⠀ ⧽ stella's things
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 wardrobe ◞ full of pastels, cute little tops and dresses, and kind of basic white girl clothes. loves summer clothes and hates having to bundle up for winter because it’s the worst in her opinion. most of her clothes are pink but also loves blues and yellows. owns a few denim items but she never really strays towards them if she can help it. has the cutest yet mature leotards (usually spends most of her money on dance wear). if there’s a cover-up/warm-up you could think of, she probably has it in her closet somewhere. i swear half of her wardrobe consists of dance clothes
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 accessories ◞ she’s very minimal with her jewelry because she hates dancing with it since it will inevitably get covered in sweat and grime. but when she goes out she’ll wear a necklace with some stud earrings (nothing dangly because they hurt her ears more) and maybe something on her hands but most likely not
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 apartment ◞ who’s shocked at the fact that most of her decorations are pink? she has white bedding covered with pink floral designs, some small pink pillows sitting in front of her main ones, and a stuffed animal or two making their home between them. has lots of carts filled to the brim with trinkets and books, all of her journals sit on them too. one of her walls is covered in a collage of paris photos, ballet photos, and some of her own pictures mixed within. has a cork board full of poems she likes and important dates, a few pictures here and there, etc.
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 pets ◞ she doesn’t have any of her own pets but her grandma has two orange cats (starfruit and pineapple). she really doesn’t know why they’re named that since neither of the two fruits is orange. she acts like they’re her kids and is always so excited to talk to about them to anyone who’s interested
⠀ ⧽ more about stella
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 at the top of her bucket list is to go to paris
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 would absolutely love to become a professional ballerina but also knows that she doesn’t have the talent for it (not in a negative, self-depricating way exactly, but she knows she doesn’t have the “ballerina” body type, and she didn’t work for it when she was younger and was never pushed to do it by her parents)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 wants her future studio to be more inclusive since when she was younger, a lot of her dance teachers didn’t think she’d be able to do because of the way her body looked
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 quite literally loves ice cream with her whole heart
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 has tried every flavor at baskin robins, gets so excited when she sees a new flavor at the store, etc.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 loves loves loves loves looking through the costume binder (the binder that gets put out near the end of the year that shows the costumes for each dance going on at the studio)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 would spend hours looking at dance costume websites and finding songs to match them
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 is extremely close to her grandma, she absolutely adores her with her whole heart

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 lowkey addicted to energy drinks, her fridge is always stocked with them but does try to only drink one a day
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 besides that, she loves fruity drinks !
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 puts stickers on every surface possible
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 has a small book of butterflies that her grandma drew and gave to her
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 〃 kind of gives off the impression of being type b but is fully type a! if even a dust particle is out of place, she’ll go bonkers
my genuine face when someone accuses of me using ai but I’ve literally never gotten accused of it before so I just sit there looking at my phone. Like I’ve genuinely dealt with so much drama in the past surrounding that so why would I do it…
guys lowkey- i could get starah out tn, but it's just a matter of how long i want to be up and how long it takes me to paste everything into their posts
