To New Things?

Chapter 18: Back To School

Star walked through the doors of the school, sighing.

"Home sweet home."

She walked to her dorm room and walked in, locking the door behind her.

"Some break huh?"

She sighed to herself. She looked around at her room and for the first time ever.. she actually felt alone in it.

"Hm.."

Marco walked up to his room, also locking his door.

"Some trip huh?"

He turned around and pointed his wand at the voice.

"Relax, your highness."

"Oh.. hey Glossaryck. You scared me."

Marco walked to his bed and laid down on his back, taking a deep breath.

"If you don't mind, I'd like to start training as soon as possible....Going with Star was a stupid idea."

Marco got up and grabbed a semi broken  mirror from under his bed, and mounting it to his wall.

"I should really call my parents.. you think?"

Glossaryck shrugged and sank back into the book of spells as it closed. Marco took a deep breath and looked at it.

"Mirror.. call Mom."

THE NEXT DAY

The next day everyone was back from their breaks and everything was back to normal. Marco walked down to the lobby. Tom greeted him with a hard punch to his arm, and a smile.

"Yo!"

"Ah... Hey Tom. How was your break?"

"It was great man. I ate so much and got lots of sleep. How was yours? What'd you do?"

Marco froze.

"U-Uh... ya know.. just stayed here and.. yeah."

Tom squinted and smirked an evil smile.

"Mhm.. you're a bad liar, Marco Diaz."

"I'm not lying!"

They continued to walk out the building side by side.

"I hope you know that Star tells me everything."

Marco's heart thumped in his chest.

"L-Like what?"

"Weeeeell she told me that you guys spent the break together and actually pulled off the 'dating thing' for her family. Then afterwards came back here."

He sighed in relief.

"She also told me you two shared a passionate kiss that made you go complete alien and float around the room like a UFO."

Tom laughed. Marco's face flushed a beet red.

"Great. You don't mind keeping that.. between us 3? I don't need that getting out or-"

"Jackie is gonna break up with your sorry ass? Yeah I got it, dude."

They smiled at each other and continued to walk to class. Meanwhile Star laid in her bed. Thinking. Overthinking. She needed someone to talk to. There was a knock at her door.
