To New Things?

Chapter 3: "Variety?" (Part 2)

Star sat in the Library, laughing silently at the little things Oskar whispered in her ear.

"Shhh!"

The librarian pointed at them. Star put her hands up in agreement and laughed.

"Your gonna get us kicked out!"

She whisper-yelled. Oskar smiled.

"So... why'd you invite me here? We could've went behind the bleachers and.."

He whispered into her ear again. Her eyes widened and she laughed nervously.

"Y-Your just... a man with m-many words huh?"

He shrugged and smiled. She pushed his bangs out his face, and stared into his eyes. They were so beautiful to her. She sighed lovingly.

"Man... I love your eyes."

"Well.. I.. love. This."

He leaned in and kissed her cheek. She blushed extremely hard, feeling hot.

"And here.. is the library."

Star's smile faded when she heard a familiar voice. She looked up to see Jackie and Marco walking in.

"Seriously?"

"What's wrong?"

Star pointed to the entrance and Oskar looked up.

"That new kid? He's a dork. Do you wanna go?"

"No. We were here first. Plus I have to start figuring out my semester project."

Star opened her psychology book and turned the pages. She stopped on a page and put the book between them, scooting closer to him.

"Aw how cute. If it isn't the Greason's."

She looked up slowly to see Jackie and Marco standing there. She rolled her eyes.

"Can we help you... Crackie?"

"Ah no thanks. Just admiring the beauty..."

She pointed at Oskar.

"And the beast."

She smirked at Star.

"How about you admire my fist in your face."

Jackie grabbed Marco's arm and poked out her lip. Star scoffed and got up.

"I'll be right back Oskar. I'm gonna go puke, then jab my eyes out with my fingernails."

Oskar laughed as she walked to a section of the library. Jackie smiled and tugged on Marco.

"Let's go, Prince Marco."

"Uh.. you go on without me."

"Don't be too long."

She walked away, out the library. Marco slowly made his way to Star, as she flipped through pages in a book angrily, mumbling cuss words.

"Star? You ok?"

"I'm fine!"

"Shhhh!"

They looked at the librarian. Star rolled her eyes and looked at him.

"Your supposed to be my "best friend." And being a best friend means we have each other's backs. So that ALSO means sticking up for me when Crackie wants to be a big fat bitch!"

She whisper-yelled, walking away from him.

"Wait, Star!"

"Come on Oskar, let's go study somewhere else."

Star packed up her things as Oskar did the same. She looked back at Marco as they walked out.

"Ug...Jeez..."

Marco mumbled.

LATER THAT DAY

Marco sat outside Star's dorm room. Thinking of what to say. How to say it. How to apologize. Then the door opened. He looked up and saw her.

"What do you want?"

He got up, dusting himself off.

"To apologize."

"Okay. Apology excepted. Bye."

Star tried to close the door when Marco put his foot in it.

"Wanna get some ice cream?"

Marco smiled, pleadingly. She grabbed her jacket and walked out with him.

"I really do apologize. I'm still learning how to be a... best friend."

"Don't you have a best friend? Maybe... back on Mewni?"

"Well yeah... but I haven't seen Pony in a while.."

"Your friends name is.. Pony?"

"Well Pony Head. He's a prince."

"Okay then why are you so weird around me?"

Marco shrugged, putting his hands into his pockets.

"I guess.. you're just this.. new girl that came into my life. And you're different."

He nudged her shoulder, earning a little smile from her.

"Well.. you're different too."

She spoke softly.

"Good different?"

"Great different."

They smiled at one another as she nudged his shoulder.

"How about this! If you teach me how to be a super awesome best friend, I'll teach you how to hang with a prince. Deal?"

Star looked up to the sky, pretending to think. She smiled again, and nodded.

"You've got yourself a deal, Sir Prince."

She held out her hand and he looked at it.

"Uh.. what're you doing?"

"You're supposed to shake it. To make sure the deal is a deal."

Marco looked her in her crisp, blue eyes. She flashed him a heartwarming smile and he shook her hand.

"Cool."

"Super cool."

They continued to walk.

"So... what other things can you tell me about Mewni?"

Marco smiled.

"Tons of things, Star. Tons."
