Collide

Magical encounter

Star felt like she was different from the other students at Echo Creek Academy. With her wild mane of curly silver hair and mismatched eyes that sparkled like the night sky, she was a walking work of art. Her vibrant personality, eccentric fashion sense, and a love for all things magical often found herself standing out in a crowd. While some might have shrunk from the attention, Star reveled in it, her confidence and warmth drawing in the curious and the adventurous.

Despite this, Star never felt truly connected to anyone at school until lunch when everything changed. She had just settled down at her usual table in the courtyard, a colorful spread of crystals and tarot cards laid out before her, when a commotion caught her eye.

It was just another ordinary afternoon when Star's path collided with a boy named Marco Diaz. He was the complete opposite of Star - down-to-earth, responsible, and kind-hearted, with a quick smile and an easy laugh. Marco lived a normal life, blending into the background without drawing much attention to himself. He was the kind of boy who held doors open for strangers and always remembered to ask about your day. But when their eyes met for the first time, something extraordinary happened. A jolt of electricity ran through Star, and she felt Marco's gaze like a touch.

There was an instant connection between Star and Marco, as if the universe had orchestrated their meeting. It was as if they were two pieces of a puzzle that finally found each other after years of searching, clicking into place with a satisfying snap. From that moment on, their lives became intertwined in ways neither of them could have ever imagined. They found themselves lost in conversation, their differences forgotten in the face of a shared sense of wonder and a deep, abiding connection.
