On Butterfly wings (Star Butterfly fanfiction)

Flashback: first meeting

Ugh... SCHOOL: the most boring thing invented by the human race.  Despite being a freshman, I'm already one of the most popular kids in school, mostly for the fact I managed to beat up Hollywood tough guy Niam Leeson in a had to hand fight when he was filming his last movie in Echo Creek. Honesty, that win was just dumb luck. I can't fight at all, but I beat him through strategy, forcing him to tire himself out and beating him that way. Anyway, I was sitting in class, waiting for Skullnick to finish painting her nails when the intercom turned on.

"Marco Diaz and Jacob Day to the principal's office. Marco Diaz and Jacob Day to the principal's office." The principal announced. Okay, what did I do this time? As for Marco... I don't know why he's being called down. He may be my best friend and all, but the guy is a wimp. He never takes any risks on anything, but he acts like some misunderstood bad boy. Marco stood up.

"Oooooh... looks like someone's in trouble. So, I guess everyone who voted me "Safest Kid" must be feeling pretty embarrassed right about now." Marco said with confidence. I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah. Don't count your blessings, Marco. Maybe change the red to orange with stripes and then claim that." I said. Everyone else laughed. We made our way to the principal's office, seeing the principal and a blonde haired girl standing outside. Her hair reached down to her knees with red devil horns right before the fringe of her bangs. She had bright blue eyes with little hearts on her cheeks. She had on a teal green dress with a pink jellyfish on the front. Her boots looked like little monsters, with the soles forming teeth. 

"Marco! Jacob! I want you two to meet our new foreign exchange student – Star Butterfly." Skeeves said as the girl began growling at the water fountain.

"I need a responsible, never-take-chances type to keep an eye on her, and who better than you, the safe kid?" He added, in reference to Marco. I chuckled.

"If you need a safe kid, why am I here then?" I asked.

"Well, if she stays around you, she'll become popular by association, and that'll improve her stay here." Skeeves said. I raised an eyebrow.

"Not sure that's how that works, but okay." I said. Skeeves left for the ice cream shop with the chest he had. Marco sighed as "Star" started biting the fountain. I smiled.

"This is gonna be fun." I said, approaching the strange girl. I tapped her on the shoulder and held out my hand.

"Hello Star. Welcome to Echo Creek. I'm Jac-" I started. She turned around lighting quick and shook my hand very fast and tight.

"HI NEW FRIEND! I'M STAR BUTTERFLY! IT'S SO NICE TO MEET YOU!" She squealed excitedly. I pulled my hand out of her grip. It was throbbing.

"Yikes! Strong grip! Anyway, this is Marco." I leaned in close and whispered into her ear.

"he's the safe one." I said. Star giggled as we began the tour.

(After the tour)

After we showed Star around the school and Marco said something about danger, Star turned a butterfly into a giant monster. After which, she revealed that she was a magic princess from another dimension. Marco decided to walk home, leaving me with Star.

"So... do you have anywhere to stay?" I asked. Star pulled out a slip of paper.

"I'm living with the Diaz family. Wherever they are." She replied. What. She's going to be staying with US!? Years ago, my parents disappeared without a trace, so the Diaz family took me in. Now I live with Marco and his family.

"That's perfect! That's my house! Follow me, I'll show you there!" I said, leading the way. We ran back to the house as fast as we could, arriving home in about five minutes. I introduced Star to Mr and Mrs Diaz as I went back to my room. I can get to know Star some later. I sat on my bed, watching TV for who knows how long. Mostly just reruns of the Joy of Painting. I swear, Bob Ross could make the phonebook soothing. I sat back and listened to the soothing sounds of the strokes on the canvas and Bob's voice. Suddenly, the whole house shook. I looked out my window to see a castle spire erupt from the side of the house. Rolling my eyes, I grabbed the Bob Ross bobblehead I had.
