Helloooooo readerrssss! New series here, which I probably shouldn't have started since I have many unfinished ones (procrastination is the definition of me...), but here I am writing this one to keep writing interesting for me in general. I have decided this will be a randomly updated fanfic because I am terrible with due dates! XP Thank you for reading and I have also decided I shall reply to comments in the chapter following the one on which the comments are posted (If that makes sense) And if this ends up landing in my pile of unfinished stories that will certainly be unfortunate but, to living in the moment! (idk I'm weird)

~()~I DO NOT OWN SVTFOE! IF I DID, STAR AND MARCO WOULD BE TOGETHER ALREADY!~()~

In the front row of the fourth period geology classroom sat Star Butterfly, one of the most popular students at Echo Creek Academy, a high school that resided as part of a town in California. She was two rankings below self-absorbed, spoiled brat, Brittany Wong. And right above her on the imaginary list of popularity was the rude, attitudinal, Chantelle. Star wasn't like them though, except for being rich and all. Instead she she was an extremely bubbly and excitable ditz and just a genuinely nice person. People would do anything to be at her social status, but she didn't really care if she was popular or not, but being that she was the daughter of Moon and River Butterfly, founders of an island on the other side of the world named Mewni that had an enormously exquisite jeweled palace surrounded by a calm village that stretched out to the rustic ports, she really had no other choice. But with her social status, she had to maintain it...

More towards the corner of that same classroom sat Marco Diaz, one of the most quiet students at Echo Creek Academy. Him and his friends didn't really have a social status but he didn't mind, he would never trade it for popularity. He didn't like the popular crowd, they were all snobby and bratty, especially Brittany Wong. But there was one of them he didn't mind, well not exactly 'didn't mind'... he actually kind of liked her. No, scratch that... he really liked her, she was really nice but alike all the other populars, she never noticed him. But at least she didn't make fun of him, like Brittany Wong.

Brittany Wong, he rolled his eyes as the name was spoken in his mind. She was always so spoiled and found other people's torture absolutely hilarious and if that wasn't bad enough, her boyfriend was just the sugarless icing on top of the charred cake. He also took every chance he had to pick on some defenseless being that backed into a corner as he neared. Half of all nurse visits were because of him! Marco cringed in disgust as the thoughts of those vile human beings slipped into his mind.

"Buddy? Are you there?" Ferguson waved his hand in front of the red hoodied boy's face.

"What?" He snapped out of his thoughts and turned to his friend who sat in the seat diagonal to him.

"I was just asking if you wanted to hang out and play video games later with me and Alfonso."

"Oh sure," an unfocused Marco answered as his gaze shifted to Star. How did she hang out with people like Brittany, he wondered as he glanced at the talking blonde facing Chantelle's direction who didn't let his staring go unnoticed.

"What do you want, nerd?" she said as she looked at him.

Me? He opened his mouth and found himself nervously sweating at loss for words as Chantelle sat there staring, waiting for an answer while Star took a quick glance back and upon seeing his flustered face, looked away. "I-I" he stuttered, unable to think of a reason that wouldn't bring complete and utter humiliation upon him, like for example, I dunno, maybe the fact that he had an enormous crush on the blonde next to the girl that questioned him.

Chantelle adverted her gaze back to Star and they continued their conversation.

"As I was saying, the party is at eight. It's an open invitation so you can bring that guy of yours with you."

"Ok, I'll ask him!" Star said with a cheerful smile.

"So anyways, are you guys dating?" she glanced at the blonde two seats behind her.

"It's official! As of this morning, we are officially a thing!"

Chantelle nodded, "Cool," the school bell rang, signaling everyone to start gathering their things. "See you there." Chantelle made her way out the door.

Star was packing up her things as Justin made his way over and draped his arm across her shoulder. Marco was carefully placing his binder in the organized opening of his backpack and the couple in the room did not go unnoticed. She's dating someone... he sighed only loud enough for himself to hear as he walked out of the classroom behind the blonde couple.

By eighth period, practically everyone was ready to go home for the weekend. None the less, the students took their seats at the ring of the bell to start the class period.

"Ok students, since it is a Friday, I have some partner work for you all," the teacher said as she began passing around the handouts.

"We know who our partner is gonna be," Alfonso said as he exchanged looks with Marco. They were probably the smartest kids in that class.

"Since half of you don't bother doing your work, I will assign the partners," she continued as the classroom groaned, "Having your choice partner is a privilege! You must earn it, and with last weeks grades, most of you certainly did not. Alfonzo, you'll be working with Andrea, Kacey, you'll be working with Charity, Brittany and Hope, Janna and Paige, Star and Marco, and finally, Jackie and Sabrina."

"Hi partner!" Star said giddily as she walked over to Marco.

"H-Hi..."

Star studied the worksheet in her hands and looked up, "So what are we supposed to do?" she questioned, her face blank.

"Uh- we have to match the definitions to the word," Marco stated the obvious.

"Ooohh, that's why there is the same amount of questions as there are answers!" she exclaimed, "Hmmm," she eyed the paper as the two sat in desks next to each other, "I can't find an answer that says a metal..."

"What?" Marco asked confusedly. Star pointed to the first word on the list which was 'Irony' Seriously? "No Star, that's irony... i-it means when something happens that's the practically the opposite of what's expected." he explained.

"Oh," she answered simply as she connected the word to the definition. "Anyways, you seem nice so do you want to come to a party tonight at eight?" His eyes widened. Star was asking him to go to a party with her? "Everyone's gonna be there and Justin and Andrea agreed they'd come, you can invite whoever else you want. It's at Brittany's house," she explained. Oh, not come with her, just come in general... either way he didn't have plans.

"S-sure," he agreed and they continued to work on the ditto until the bell rang. Marco, being that he didn't typically go to parties, rushed home to get ready.

"You forgot your-" she started as she picked up the notebook he had left on the corner of the desk. She fanned through the pages and it fell on one with a fancily written word in the center of the page.

"Hm, what does Starco mean?" she questioned aloud.

Thank you bunches for reading! Note: Writers block is terrible and I am not at all immune for your future notice. But luckily, I have ideas for the next chapter :3
