Math's the problem
"No Star, that's not how you multiply" Marco stated, warning her that she had made a basic multiplication mistake, causing her to frown. He took the pen from her hand and decided to complete the equation himself. "And... there!" He stated as he put down the pen "Se, this is how you're supposed to do it"
Star looked at the numbers written down in front of her, then groaned. "This is too hard!" The girl complained with her arms crossed and an angry frown on her face. "Why do I even have to solve all these pointless eqa- what's its!" She exclaimed.
"First off all, they're called equations" Marco corrected her, causing Star to give him the 'really now?' look. "Secondly-" he began as he pulled out her latest masterpiece of a test, a big, bright, red capital F written on it "As much as you don't like math, you have to pass this test, otherwise you may end up repeating a year" he warned her.
"But I already got a fantastic grade, so I don't see why I have to write this test again" she stated, not really understanding the logic of this dimension's grading system.
Marco sighed "For the 10 time already, and F does not stand for 'fantastic', Star. It stands for fai-" he quickly cut himself off, knowing very well that saying the word 'failure' would upset Star, something he definitely didn't want, so Marco quickly rephrased his sentence "Anyway, these math problems aren't really that hard, at all. Heck, I bet you could get an A if you set your mind to it!" He cheerfully stated, trying to boost the girl's determination.
Star sighed "Do I have to?" She complained, since she would much rather have fun instead of studying things she didn't even understand.
"Yes, you have to" Marco replied.
Seeing that Star was feeling down about this, Marco patted her on the back and spoke "Hey, no worries Star. With my help, you'll pass this time for sure!"
Star smiled slightly, touched by Marco's willingness to help "You think so?"
"I know so!" Marco exclaimed, then pointed at the question she had previously gotten wrong "Alright, let's try this one again. Now, this symbol stands for multiplication. Once you see it, all you have to do is..." the boy explained to her while she listened carefully this time, her vigour renewed.
The next day
Marco was packing some books into his locker, ready to head home after a long day at school, when he heard his name being repetitively shouted.
"Marco! Marco! Marco!" Star kept gleefully shouting as she ran towards the boy, a bright smile on her face and waving a paper in her hand.
She soon reached him and literally shoved the paper into his face, accidentally poking his right eye while doing so.
"Ouch!" Marco exclaimed and removed the paper from his face. "Star, what was that for!" He demanded.
"Marco, look look look!" She enthusiastically exclaimed whilst jumping up and down and waving the paper in front of Marco's face.
The boy grabbed it from her and took a good look at it, then raised an eyebrow at her "D-? This is what got you so excited?" He asked.
"Yep! Thanks to you, I destroyed thr test! High five!" She exclaimed with a highly confident voice and raised her hand into the air.
"I wouldn't say 'destroyed', but at least you passed this time" he commented with a proud voice, then gave her a well-deserved high five.
"Good, now that we've solved your maths problem, we can start working on your other 10 subjects!" Marco happily exclaimed, anxiously awaiting some nice and relaxing studying.
"10 subjects?" Star asked in pure horror, to which Marco nodded. He then took her hand and started dragging her home so that the two could begin their next study session.
