(In this story, Star and Marco have never met. Marco is a new student and transfers to Echo Creek. There he meets Star.)
It was 6th period and Star was at lunch. She always sits with her friends outside. She walked out to sit with her friend Janna, who she's known since kindergarten.
"Hey Janna Banana!" She waved.
She looked up from her book and waved back. "Sup Star!"
She sat next to Janna. "Hey have you seen that new kid?"
"No, what's his name?"
"I don't know but he has the same lunch as us!"
Just then they turned around to see the new kid they were talking about. He was tall with dark brown hair and a mole on his right cheek. He awkwardly shuffled around looking for somewhere to sit.
Janna looked back at Star. "Let's invite him to sit with us!"
"Ok." She called out to the boy. "Hey kid! Wanna sit with us?"
The boy looked at Star and blushed his face reddened as he nodded. She walked over to where they say and set down his backpack.
He was obviously embarrassed enough, he sat down next to Star and kept his head down.
Star reached out her hand to the boy. "I'm Star what's yours?"
"M-marco." He mumbled quietly.
"Oh that's a nice name. This is Janna!"
Janna threw a peace sign at Marco. "Sup."
He did a small wave. He looked back down at his shoes not saying anything else.
"Soooo Marco, what school did you come from?"
"Ehm, Stevens Highschool. It's in San Antonio."
"Oh wow you lived that far?"
He started to become more comfortable talking with Star. He leaned up, finally looking in her eyes.
"Heh, yeah it's really far but I wasn't born there. We had to mover there cuz my mom's sister was sick so she wanted to be closer to her."
"Oh. Well how you liking California?"
"It's way hotter than Texas," he chuckled.
Star laughed along with him. He stopped to stare at her once more and quickly changed the subject to distract her from him blushing.
"S-so umm, what class you have after this?"
"I have Science."
"Oh me too!"
"No way!"
They both laughed. Marco started to be open with Star as they say and chatted until lunch ended. They walked to class together and even sat next to each other. Marco really liked this girl but didn't want to tell her. He decided to invite her over to his house to get to know her more.
He sat in his seat waiting for Star to sit in hers. He breathed in and thought to himself, "I'm going to ask her if she'd like to come to my house after school."
Star tapped Marco on his shoulder. He let out a squeak, looking at her.
"Oh sorry didn't mean to scare you," she giggled.
"N-no it's ok I was just uh, busy with something," he lied.
He waited until the teacher finished giving out the assignments. He tapped Star's shoulder.
"Umm, Star I had a question."
"Okay!"
He sighed. "W-would you like to come over to my house after school today?"
"Sure lemme just text my mom to let her know I'm walking with you. Is that ok with you?"
He started to freak out. He never knew he would come this far. She was already wanting to walk with him home! His palms started to sweat as he nervously nodded.
"Sure go ahead."
"She said it's ok but I gotta be home by 7:00."
"Okay. Cool!" He shot finger guns at her and winked trying to act cool. She looked at him confusingly.
"Okay then," she smirked.
He face palmed himself. "Keep yourself together Diaz! You just barely met her!"
