"Please, Star, come on. It'll be fun, I promise!" Marco pleaded for the third time that day.
"I don't... Fine, I-I'll come with you." Star sighed in defeat.
"That's great! Okay, so let me tell Jackie that and Well go this afternoon." Marco hurried over to his room.
Star went to hers and locked the door.
It's stupid. Why did she even said yes?
She doesn't want to go to a movie night in Jackie's house if it's all about them.
But she knew she couldn't resist his pleading. She hated it.
Marco was her one and only weakness.
"Stupid feelings." She groaned and buried her face in her pillow.
Janna better be there, she thought.

Later that night.
"Star? Are you okay?"
"Huh?" She looked up. Marco watching her closely.
Oh shoot.
"Yeah, I'm fine, Marco. Just... Zoning out a bit." Star lied to him.
"Are you sure...?" He asked, a tone of concern was in his voice.
"No, I'm good, Marco."
"Okay then."
They didn't talk much down the way, and it feels kind of awkward.
She never have felt awkward around him before, and she feels frustrated of the new feeling.
About five minutes later they arrived at Jackie's door. She opened it.
"Hey, Marco!" Jackie threw her arms on him.
Don't cry, don't cry. Just smile, she told herself.
"Hey, Star. Glad you came, come in!" Jackie told them two.
And then she was forced to sit beside Janna. That was new for her, too.
She'd always sat beside Marco no matter what happens. At class, dinner, friendship Thursday. But now, maybe she isn't the first one anymore.
Janna put an arm on her shoulder and squeezed it.
She sent a weak smile to her.
"So, what are we watching?" Janna asked.
Please don't be please don't be please don't be-
"How about rom-com?" Jackie suggested.
Shit.
"Sounds good." Marco put on the CD.
First fifteen minutes: alright, I can handle this.
Twenty minutes later: come on, Star. Be strong.
Thirty minutes later: I can't take this anymore. Star butterfly you need to go somewhere to cry your eyes out and come back like nothing's wrong.
And there it goes. Somewhere in the middle of the movie.
She didn't expect it to hurt that much, really.
She stood up and went off.
"Star, where are you going?"
Oh no.
"Uh, I need to go to the washroom, yeah. I'll be back in a min." She replied. "Um, your parents aren't home, right?"
"No they're out to D.C." Jackie said.
Good.
She went to the bathroom and washed her face.
Don't cry, Star butterfly, be strong.
She have no energy to cry, anyways.
Where to now? She doesn't want to go back. She couldn't.
Star wandered around the kitchen and sat on the floor.
It's stupid. What did she do to deserve this?
Their friendship, broken?
Things change. But she doesn't like this change. She wanted to be the first one in his list. It's not like she's selfish, but well...
What did Jackie do to deserve him?
They didn't have a bond like them. Jackie never save his life. Jackie wasn't his best friend, or family (as now she was considered as a part of the Diaz's family). They never been through thick and thin and never were there for each other like her.
Then what?
"Um.. Hey?"
She looked up.
Someone was there.
She looked a bit like Jackie, but with no blue streak and her hair was longer.
"Are you one of my sister's friends?" She asked.
"I- yeah, I am." Star replied.
"Are you... Okay?"
She wanted to say no, but instead said "yes" aloud.
"You don't look like you're okay." She sat down beside her. "I'm Jessica, Jackie's big sister."
"I'm Star." She mumbled.
"Are you okay? You don't look so good. Have you been... crying?" Jessica asked her.
"No," Star wiped her tears, "but I really want to."
"What's wrong?" Jessica said. "I mean, it's fine if you don't want to-"
"No, I.. I really need someone to talk to right now." Star confessed.
"Then you've come to the right person." Jessica smiled.
And she blurted out all her feelings these past months, without even controlling it. Jessica seemed to understand. She was just the kind of person she needs.
"I'm.. I'm sorry to hear that." Jessica finally spoke. "This'll make you feel better."
She took out a tub of cookies and cream from the freezer.
"Eat them. You need it."
Star began eating them with a wooden spoon she found.
Then somehow, a burst of energy filled her, and she felt the sudden urge to cry.
Jessica patted her back. "Let it out, Star."
She cried on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry," she wiped her tears and muffled her sobs.
"Hush it, it's okay. You'll always have a friend or cry on." Jessica smiles.
"I... Can you take me home? I don't really.. Want to be here at the first place, honestly." Star confessed. "But I'm glad that I did. Because i met you."
Jessica smiled. "That's sweet, Star. Let's take you home."

I'll try to post chapter two as soon as I can, but the "Please, Star, come on. It'll be fun, I promise!" Marco pleaded for the third time that day.
