TUESDAY MORNING

Marco's POV

Yesterday... was amazing! It might have been the best day of my life! I was so close to kissing Star!

Just the thought of feeling her lips on mine makes me want to kiss her right now.

"Diaz!" Ms. Skullneik called me

I stood up, slipped on my untied shoelaces and fell on the floor. Everyone started laughing.

"Mr. Diaz! Pay attention!" Our trollface teacher scolded me as I got back up on my seat.

"Marco, are you okay?" Star asked me

"Yeah I'm fine" I give her a smile.

*PLAY PRACTICE*

"Brittney! Jackie's missing! We can't find her" one of the students informed our 'Boss'

"WHAT?!" yelled Brittney

"I think she's absent, someone told me she was sick today" another student butt in

"Well, what are you still doing here?! GET THE UNDERSTUDY" Brittney yelled at the megaphone

The students then brought Star in front of me.

The cast started to practice the play. It was going good so far.

And again, we go to this part... the Beast-becomes-human part

Just like what happened last night.

"Are you ready?" I asked Star

"Yeah" she looked back at me

this is it.

This is really happening

I'm about to kiss Star Butterfly

"Okay Cut! That was amazing guys, 5 min break!" The producer announced

Right below the stage was Daniel...

I guess he's here to get Star huh.

"That was amazing guys! I actually thought you're going to kiss Star, Marco" Daniel glared at me for a bit but changed his expression instantly as he saw Star

"Oh hey Star, I'd like to ask you something"
The spastic white trash stood beside Star. I could just... rip his head off!

"Oh sure what's up?" Star smiled. She's also smiling the way Daniel smiled yesterday. Could... could this mean she likes him?

"Do you want to go on a date with me?" Daniel smirked... an arrogant kind of smirk

"What?!"

"Sure! I'd love to"

"What?!"

"Maybe tonight? 8 pm?"

"See you then"

"WHAT?!"

I didn't realize I was so loud until I noticed every person in the auditorium was staring at me.

"Woah Marco, I didn't realize you were still here" Daniel said as he wrapped his arm around Star. I DON'T TRUST THIS GUY WHY AM I NOT REACTING VIOLENTLY ABOUT THIS?!

"Yeah, are you okay" Star said as she went to me and held my face towards her

"yeah I'm...okay" I took her hands of off my cheeks

"Oh Star, I forgot to tell you, I'm going to replace Oskar for Gaston! Isn't that great?" Daniel said as he took Star away from me.
"Yeah! That's awesome, I'm just the understudy for Belle" She gave him a smile.

I took Star by the hand and said "We have to go to the cafeteria now, bye" and like that, I brought Star into the janitor's closet, no not the cafeteria butthe janitor's closet.

"Marco what's going o-"
