"Usted nunca supo."

A Purple Smile

I was on the couch watching TV and Star was upstairs in her room. I couldn't stop thinking about the way her eyes shined in the red light of the Blood Moon. Yeah, I knew I had a crush on her. I get butterflies when I'm around her and junk like all the love stories are. But the thing is, I'm not sure whether this story will have a happy ending, which is why I'm trying to avoid my feelings. I mean, she's not even from Earth. But what makes it even better is if I man up and ask her out and she says yes, people will think I'm cool. But that's not why I like her. It's her bubbly personality and her amazing amount of energy. I've been trying to hide it by pretending I still like Jackie Lynn Thomas, but it's not very easy. I heard footsteps. "Marco, look! I figured out how to change the color of my hearts!" I looked over at her and chuckled at the purple hearts on her face. "How'd you do that?" I asked as she sat next to me. "I think it has something to do with my Mewberty." I cringed as the memories of her flying away flipped through my mind. "But it's super cool, right?!" She grins from ear to ear and looks at me. I nod and turn my head to the TV screen once more. "Totally." She smiles and lays down, her head resting on my leg. She does this a lot, but I still blush. "I'm booooored." She groans.
