after picking up her books off the floor, with the little help of someone of course, star hurried off to class. ironically, she had that class with marco. he went the opposite direction as her, which confused her but didn't surprise her.

she made it into class by a hair and sat down in her desk right away.

"ms. butterfly ! if you're late one more time i will give you a detention !"

the teacher scolded her, she's never been late once in her life and this time she wasn't even late ! the teacher is just as ass.

"yes ma'am, im so sorry."
star set her bag down and pulled out her books, the teacher started rambling on about alexander hamilton and "the battle of yorktown" or whatever. but star's mind was somewhere else. where was marco ?

~
"hey pretty little diaz."
marco heard walking down the hallway, he never got shit from anyone except for one person.
"can i help you oskar?"
marco turned around, hands in his pockets.

"saw you talking to star butterfly, nice one man, she's pretty hot huh?" oskar leaned against the lockers, he was a huge player but every girl still managed to fall for him.

"you think i was hitting on her ?" marco was shocked, he liked star as a person, but he would never date her. she was the only girl here who didnt try to get into marco's pants. even little jackie lynn thomas tried once.

"if i was you i would've, she's crazy hot, and smart. everyone likes her, and if you dated her, man. would your popularity boost." oskar just dated girls if they were popular, and star butterfly would be his main prize. she was known to everyone because of her generosity and kindness, and dating her would send your popularity through the roof.

"thanks but no thanks, she's too nice. i think if i was ever seen with her, people might start to think that im some angel now. she's cute, but very awkward." marco huffed, cracking his knuckles.

"your loss man. just know when she gets out of u.s history, she will be a taken women." oskar winked at marco, and it disgusted him. marco wasn't the nicest kid, but seeing someone as nice as her get played by a dick like that would be hell to him.

the bell rang and star walked out of the class room stressed as ever, but very relieved. it was time to go home.
star walked to school so she could enjoy the beautiful california weather, but today that weather would be interrupted by a boy with dark hair and blue eyes.

"hello the lovely star butterfly, you're looking beautiful today as always." oskar leaned against the wall blocking her way.

"u-uh thank you oskar."

"how about you come to my place after school?" oskar asked seductively, but his cute wink did not cast star under his spell.
"thank you but no thank you, i have to study for my history test." star tried walking around him, but was interrupted by oskar again.

"study with me hm? aaron hamilton is my favorite french president."

star was about to open her mouth when all of the sudden an arm wrapped around her neck.
"thanks but she's already studying with me."

it was none other than marco diaz coming to save the day, and star has never been so relieved to see him.

"yeah yeah ! he's helping me study. im already going to his house." star cheekily smiled, super thankful for this boy to understand the awkward situation she was in.

"oh well, i see. see ya around." oskar waved off and walked away.
marco removed his arm from star and looked down at her.
"you're very welcome."
