One Shot #11: Can't Blame A Girl For Trying

A/N: Okay this might be a songfic(?) is that what you call it? I'll be using Sabrina Carpenter's Can't Blame A Girl For Trying. I don't own it, it belongs to their rightful owners.

Star's P.O.V.

I sighed, as Oskar just ignored me.

Here I am, again,
The same old situation.
Why does the guy thing have to be so complicated?

I walked over to Oskar, as he played his instrument.

"H-Hi!" I squeaked out. He raised an eyebrow at me.
"Sup," He said, before continuing his playing. "Uh, w-well, I-I was wondering, if uhm.. W-well," I sputtered out. He just ignored me. I sighed once more.

I should of played it cool,
Instead I made a fool,
Oh the things I do.

Then, I remember my relationship with Tom.

'Cause i'm young, and i'm dumb,
I do stupid things when it comes to love,

I remember how back in Mewni, I ended up crying, finding out Tom's lies. And right now, I'm stuck in the bathroom, crying my heart out.

And even if I always end up crying,

I stood up from the bathroom cubicle, unlocked it and washed my face on the sink, suddenly smiling like an idiot.

Well, you can't blame a girl for trying.
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
No, you can't blame a girl for trying.
Oh-Oh-Ooo-Oo,

"I'm not giving up, just yet," I idiotically grinned, stepping out the bathroom.

"HEY, OSKAR!" I said a little too loudly. He jumped a bit, before regaining his composture. "Hey," He said calmly. My mind turned into a mental blank. Think, think, think!
"W-Well, you see, O-Oskar, well... I LIKE YOU...NICORNS. Yeah, I-I l-like unicorns," I nervously laughed. He raised an eyebrow, just like before, and continued playing.

I should've shut my mouth,
I could've kept it quiet.
I might have freaked him out, 'cause I was so excited.

I grimaced. Just like before. I tried thinking why.

But I just couldn't wait,
I took a leap of faith,
Oh the things I say.
'Cause i'm young,
And i'm dumb,
I do stupid things when it comes to love.

I felt tears brimming my eyes.

And even if I always end up crying,

No, not again. I kept a happy grin.

Well, you can't blame a girl for trying.
Oh, oh,
Oh,oh,
No,

I looked back to all the spoiled chances I had with Oskar. Every single encounter. I ruined it all.

And sometimes I tend to be my own worst enemy.
And maybe someday, I'll catch a shooting star, out of the blue,
Doing what I do..

"So, Star, how'd it go?" Marco asked me, both of us walking home. I sighed. "I'm giving up on Oskar," I sheepishly said.
Marco put a hand on my shoulder. "Hey, if it makes you feel better, I'll always be here,"

And just as i'm givin' up,
My heart is palpitating,

I felt my heart rate quicken, as my cheeks went red.

Here comes another one and it's intoxicating,

"Star? You alright?" Marco asked. I snapped out of my trance. "O-Oh, yeah, I'm fine." I grinned.

"Let's go home."

And being where I've been,
I know that in the end, I'll do it all again.
'Cause i'm young,
And i'm dumb,
I do stupid things when it comes to love.
And even if I always end up crying,
Well, love will find me, ain't there no denying
But, you can't blame a girl for trying.
Oh, oh,
Oh, oh,
No you can't blame a girl for trying,
Mmmmm
Oooh..
