♡STARCO ~ WHATEVER IT TAKES♡

Chapter 22: Starco

Marco's POV

I opened the front door and saw...

A turtle? What is a turtle doing here? I picked up a turtle and saw a writing on it's shell. It looks like it's been carved. Poor turtle.

'Enod ev'uoy gnihtyreve terger ll'uoy ro won pots'

"What the hell?" I said quietly. I closed the door and went up to my room. I closed the door and examined the writing. I gave ths turtle some water. It drank it.

"I guess I'll call you Shelly" I smiled. I looked closely. God, I'm never good at these mystery stuff. Maybe I'll place this aside. I have to get ready for my date.

I'm finally going on an actual date with Star.

¤¤THE DATE¤¤

Star's POV

Marco took me out to a movie.
We watched a comedic movie. I think they starred this... 'Bo Burnham' guy?

He is really funny! Very handsome too.

I laughed at every joke but cried at the ending. I think it was inspired from a book? I think it's the biography of this Bo guy. Who was the author again? Oh right! Elizabeth Duke! Yeah her novels are amazing. I think the movie was directed by Bo Burnham himself and this girl named Lorene Scafaria. (Let me just advertise my other book here)

When we headed out of the cinema, Marco took me to an old abandoned carnival. It was so vintage.

"Marco, how did you know about this place?" I asked him

"I have sources" he smirked. He lead me to a ferris wheel and we climbed to the very top. We sat on a seat and just stared at the view. It was breathtaking.

"This is beautiful Marco" I smiled at him.

"Like you" he chuckled

"Shut up" I smacked his face lightly. I giggled.

He looks troubled.

"Are you okay?" I placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Yeah, just lost in thought" he looked at me.

"What were you thinking about?" I asked him

"About you" he smiled

I rolled my eyes "Stop it Marco"

He laughed.

"Hey.. if we ever had a ship name, what would it be?"

"I heard that people started referring to us as Starco" he looked at me.

"Really? Do they ship us or something?" I giggled. Why would they? We're only best friends.

"Yeah they do" he smiled

"Why though?" I asked him

"I don't know, I think Janna started it" he wrapped an arm around me.

"Yeah maybe. Do we really look like a couple?" I asked him another question.

"Yeah I guess" he had a light blush.

I felt my blood rush to my cheeks.

Do I like Marco more than a friend?

I don't know, I feel like I do. But I'm not sure.

"Starco huh"
