Chapter 4

Simple birthday gift?

Hard to believe it has been 4 months since Star come to live with Marco's family. And over those times the two had become close friends, best friends even, how did that happen?

If anyone were to asks Marco: Did he like Star when he first met her? He would just simply answer.

"Of course I did, that why she is my best friend" even though Marco clearly knows he is lying, he doesn't seem to care since he and Star are really good friends. So everybody just assumes they really got along when they first met, not that it matters anyway.

It's just out of the ordinary to see a boy who is always so cautious and discipline, enjoy being friends with a girl that can't stand still for one second.

Why are they friend?... How can two personalities, so different from eachother, end up being best friends? Well, nobody can answer that, guess it just happens.

Every time Marco looked back at the day he meets Star, he would find it ironic in some way. There he is, wanting nothing more than for her to get out of his life, sure he ends up being nice to her but he never thinks that they would get along this much. And now, Marco sometimes wonders what would be like if Star wasn't here...every time that thought crossed his mind Marco just felt an empty feeling, a feeling he can't stand...

If someone were to ask Star: Isn't Marco a little too uptight for her? How did you two end up being best friends?". Janna once asked Star this question at lunch when Marco wasn't around. For the same reasons, the emo girl finds it odd that those two were so close to eachother and she had known Marco for years. She knows Star is a friendly type of person, but that doesn't explain how the two had become so close.

"No... I don't think Marco is that uptight...sure he can be a safe kid sometimes...like you said, Janna" Star giggled at that and Janna laughed too

"But that one of the things I like about him, I knew that we would become great friends right when Mrs. Diaz told me about Marco!" Star said, she too knows she is lying. Sure Star thought they would get along at first but Marco soon proved her wrong". Not really sure why Star would lie about this, maybe she just enjoy her version of the story better now? again not that it matters all that much...

Janna raised an eyebrow at her, suspecting Star's answer but in no time shrugged it off and head back to enjoying her meatloaf sandwich.

"Yeah we are gonna be a best friend forever," Star whispered to herself with a smile

Sad forever seem to end a little bit too soon...

Back to the present day.

"OMG! MARCO IS GOING TO HATE ME!" Star screamed, pulling at her blonde hair while she panicked in her room. Marco's birthday is coming up in a few days and Star has no idea what to get him, what could she get that Marco would love?

"WHAT KIND OF BEST FRIEND AM I IF I COULDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO GIVE MARCO FOR HIS SPECIAL DAY?". Star screamed into one of her pillows after circling the room about 20 times.

That would make you a bad one...A voice said in her head, causing Star to slumped deeper into her bed, scrambling her hair even more in frustration.

"Hey Star? Are you ok in there?... There been alot of screaming, more than normal today..." Marco knocked from outside of her room.

"OH NO! MARCO CAN'T FIND OUT ABOUT THIS" Star thought. Quickly calming her voice

"Yeah, I'm fine Marco...I was just uhhhh...screaming at the math homework our teacher gives us... It's so hardddddd" Star replied, "Phew that was close".
