Tomco

Marco's POV

a red light coming from the moon was shining down on us. Was this the soulmate thing? Omg it totally is and two of us are fated partners! Don't panic it is probably Star and Tom so I should just calm down. Tom moved a bit and the light moved too making it so Tom always was in it. See no need to worry it is Tom. Star moved and the light didn't fallow. WAIT THE LIGHT DIDN'T FALLOW HER! She step completely out of the ray of light coming from the moon. Tom Locke's eyes with me unamused and I just let out a small nervous laugh. Neither of us wanted to dance so what said we had too? It's not like the light will make us. I looked back at Star awkwardly and saw the most mischievous smile before she pushed me right into Tom! Okay I jinxed myself this moon really does hate me after all. Our bodies moved without our command like we were puppets. We started dancing and it was actually kinda magical maybe a little dancing wasn't so bad. Tom and I obviously didn't want to dance at first but we both got lost in the moment thinking the same thing of "a little dancing won't hurt" we were completely in sync, and to be honest it was actually really cool. We got lost in the magic, the music, the dancing and each other. What felt like a few minutes of being together and dancing turned out to be hours and my spell was about to wear off. I only realized this because of Star waving me down getting my attention then pointing to a clock. I broke away from Tom holding him arms length away, and looked at him "it's been magical quite literally, b-but I need to go" I said nervously before taking off. While running away I heard Tom telling me to wait but I didn't listen obviously. I lost him in the crowd right in time before the spell wore off. After I discarded the mask and got out of the crowd I waited by the entrance  for Star and Tom. Star was the first to spot me and came over laughing uncontrollably. "Hey Marco how was your dance?" I felt a bit of heat rise to my face think about the dance with Tom "Sh-shut up!" Well that didn't sound suspicious at all thanks a lot voice. She hummed a little "you're voice doesn't really help you out here does it?" She laughed a little bit stopped when I shot her a glare "I dont want to talk about it star" I was serious and we both sighed after but for different reasons. Star nudged me and pointed to Tom who was walking over. I could feel my body tense up but then I look at his facial expression which seemed a bit sad, a bit disappointed, and a small bit annoyed. Looking at his mixed facial expression I felt something inside me start to hurt a little which was weird, I mean like he's my.. my I don't know, enemy? Acquaintance? Friend? Maybe after today I could say he's my friend but I don't really know anymore. "Marco where were you?" Tom asked, right he doesn't know that it's me which made star laugh a little and me instantly more nervous with a hint of disappointment. Wait, no not disappointment totally not, just another emotion. "And what happened to you?" Well I can answer that question without making things weird, "When I got separated from Star some guy spilt his food and drink on me and now my shirt is ruined" I said trying to remember the events before the dance. "Did he apologize?" "No actually he didn't" I said remember the incident that led to the destruction to my only nice formal shirt. I saw Tom's face get a little more annoyed after my answer "bu-but it's fine, I'm cool with it now. It's not like I'd be wearing this shirt any time soon anyway" I said trying to cool him down a bit and it seemed to have worked oddly enough. "Yeah I guess since you only wear hoodies" he let out a light laugh which led me to slightly laugh but then Star had to ruin the moment with the worst possible question. "So Tom what have you been doing?" She knew what she was doing and you could tell by the smirk glued on her face. Tom went silent for a bit "you knew what happened with me you were there" "yeah but Marco might not know" she said with a bigger smile. She is trying to kill me I know it "I bet he noticed" "no-noticed what?" I decided playing dumb is my best option in this situation. "I guess he doesn't know" Star said making me realize that she was also going against Tom with this conversation topic too. "Whatever, I don't really feel like talking about it right now" he paused for a bit "if You want to know I'll fill you in later just right now isn't the time for that" I can't really describe the emotions he was displaying. "You know it's late we should get going it's been a long night" I said desperate to change the topic "yeah" Star agreed. Tom called for his carriage and we got back home "Hey Marco I'm sorry we didn't get to hangout that much tonight" this sentence earned a small giggle from Star. "But maybe we could I don't know hangout some time" this caught me off guard "I-I" I couldn't finish a sentence "He would love too" Star saved my life and I just nodded in agreement. "Okay I'll text you then" HE IS GOING TO TEXT ME! Which is whatever he is my friend and that's what friends do, but I can't help but be excited. You know new friend and all. "Ye-yeah talk to you later bye" I said quickly and nervously awkwardly waving my hand. Star joined in on the waving bye but was waving like a normal person. Tom left and my nervous system decided to take a break from being nervous. "That was smooth Marco" Star said wiggling her eyebrows, I just rolled my eyes in response. "Good night Star" "good night" I walked out of stars room and into my room where I laid down on my bed. I couldn't go to sleep, my mind replayed the blood moon ball in my head like a movie. What kind of Cinderella story did I just live?
