Star's POV
When I saw Marco in that mask, ya know...before I knew who he was, I thought he was pretty cute. Then he said it was him. I felt so weird! So I made him get me nachos! We watched Megga justice, my favorite part wasn't in the movie, it was Marco touching my hand! I felt something that was normal, yet so different. I don't know, he's my best friend on earth, he's a cool dude.
"Star, what ya thinking about?" Marco asked all sleepy.
"Nothin', just thinking about who I am gonna go with for the school dance next month, you gonna ask Jackie?" I asked like I was just watching the movie.
"Ya, I don't know Star. She is just so great, I'm a nerd, shes's. a cool kid." He paused and looked at me all sad. "I'm not good enough, but Oskar will say yes, he likes you, I can tell." He said nicely.
I hug him, denying the spark and trying not to be weird. I pull away.
"Jackie is gonna say yes, if not...she's missing out on a great guy." I say looking into his big brown eyes. We leaned in.
"Star." Marco said.
I snap into reality again and say I'm going to bed. I take a look at Marco as he seems to be sad, I didn't like Marco sad, but it was for good of our friendship.
I go up to bed and fall asleep convening myself I like Oskar, not Marco. I fell asleep fast.
"Star? Star? Wake up." Marco said.
"Let me sleep, I want to sleep." I say.
"But we're at the dance, let's go." Marco said.
I open up my eyes to a beautiful limo with Marco holding my hand. He led me out and soon enough we were at the dance. The theme was ocean blue, I was in a silk blue dress, with a bow that looked like a belt, and no straps.
Marco was in a black, white, and red suite.
"Marco this is amazing." I said, I look at him. "You look amazing." I said looking at him.
"If I look amazing, then you look perfect." He said.
I hug him. He hugs me. I pull away.
"So, were us my date?" I ask.
"I'm right here." Marco said.
I wake up with the sun filling up my room. I wanted to go to sleep and dream that dream, but I couldn't.
"Star, you up yet?" Marco asked.
"Yeah Marco, I've been up." I sigh.
"Well, ya wanna come down? My mom made home made blueberry pancakes!" Marco said.
Mrs.Diaz makes the best blueberry pancakes ever! I run down stairs as fast as I could. But when I got into the kitchen, nothing.
"Marco...you lied to me." I said.
"Nope, you just went to the wrong room." Marco said hold a plate if the pancakes in the air.
"Marco! What are you doing?" I asked.
"Just board, so I thought I might tease ya." He said.
"I'm not amused, Marco, so give me some if those pancakes!" I yell.
"Don't have to, I'm board and in charge. My mom forgot it was Saturday and went to work, my dad canceled our baby sitter, and said I am old enough to be in charge." Marco said.
I run up to him and jump for the pancakes and all the while Marco grabbed my waist pulling me in closer and tighter till I was forced to look in his big brown eyes. My heart was jumping as his grip was impossible to get out of, then as we leaned in his phone sent off, it was Oskar! I take it and go to my room.
"Hey." I said all happy like.
"Hey, so... I was wondering if..." He paused to sigh. "If you wanted to go to my concert tomorrow." He said.
"But...what about the dance?" I asked.
"No, I don't do those things...is that a no then?" He asked.
I hung up with anger and sadness. I lay there looking into space for so long, I didn't realize that it was night till Marco came in all worried about me.
"Star...are...are you okay?" He asked hesitant to come by me.
Marco's POV
When I saw her not crying, not squealing with joy, I just knew something was up.
She seemed so sad, I felt bad. I asked if she was fine. She shook her head, no.
I move closer to her, till I am sitting on her bed. She hugs me so tight.
"What happened?" I asked before I felt her sob for a little. I hug her tightly, hoping she falls asleep, she backs up and explained how Oskar didn't want to go to the dance. I cup her face as she was leaning in for the kiss, I decided not to do it. I mean I don't know if I even like Star, if I did I wouldn't want her to love me because I was the only one here to comfort her at her most weakest time. I hug her, I feel her fall asleep. I lay her down and she looked beautiful. I looked at her and soon enough fell asleep next to her, I wanted to move, but my arms wrapped around Star and she almost woke up. My body was also way too lazy to do anything but hold her.
I woke up and so did Star, we faced each other, blushing.
"You slept by me..." She said.
"I guess I did..." I said.
"Marco, about last night." Star said looking around trying to find the words to say.
"It's fine star. We're best friends." I said.
"Ya..but I really want to go to that dance...can we maybe go...as friends?" Star asks.
"Sure, sounds great." I said staring into her eyes.
