Hello everyone, Horror Movie Fan here with a story that kept me up for a few nights, I was going to do something after my hybrid series, but that's still a work in progress, so for now, enjoy the first chapter of this story and rated for reasons and AU mention is in play.

Marco Diaz laid on his bed, tossing and turning as cold sweat ran down his face. He shot up and panted as he scanned his room in fear. He picked his phone up from the side of his bed and began dialing a number before pressing the phone up to his ear, "Hello?"

"H-hey Star," Marco sighed and slightly smiled at his best friend's voice.

"Marco? Marco it's almost three in the morning,"

"Is it? I didn't know that," Marco gave a forced throat laugh.

The line fell silent for a few moments before Star sighed, "Marco what's wrong? No one calls people at three in the morning just to chat." Marco frowned and looked down, "What happened? Talk to me,"

"I…I'm sorry Star…I'll see you in school," before Star could reply, Marco ended the call and tossed his phone aside before falling back into an uneasy sleep.

Star Butterfly and Marco walked down the street and Star looked over at her best friend and frowned, "Marco?" Marco hummed and looked at her in confusion, "I'm not mad or anything, but what possessed you to call me a three in the morning?" Marco sighed and shook his head, "Did something happen? Did you accidently sleep dial me, or butt dial me?"

"It's…it's nothing to worry about Star. I was extremely tired and I guess I ended up calling you," Star frowned and Marco shook his head, "We better hurry up and get to school before the first bell. You know how Miss Skullnick can get,"

He tried to walk ahead of his best friend when Star grabbed him by the hand and he looked back, meeting a frown crossing Star's lips, "Marco, I want to help you, but I can't do that if you don't talk to me." Marco frowned and Star stepped closer to him, "I didn't tell my parents you called me, but if you don't tell me why you called me, I'll be forced to tell them and they'll talk to your parents and-"

"Estrella," Marco sighed and Star arched a brow, "I…I just had a rough time sleeping last night…nothing more, nothing less,"

Star took a deep breath and shook her head, "Okay, if you say so…but if you're having a rough time sleeping, why don't you try to take a melatonin? That's what I do if I can't sleep,"

"Heh, thanks for the advice, Starlight," Star softly smiled at Marco's pet name for her and Marco rubbed the top of her head, "Let's get to school," Star nodded as they continued to walk down the street.

The students sat at their desks, doing their schoolwork. Star looked over at Marco and frowned as she saw him slowly fall asleep, "Mr. Diaz," everyone looked up and saw the teacher staring at Marco, "Mr. Diaz," Marco moaned and slowly opened his eyes, "Mr. Diaz!"

Marco jumped in a panic and room filled with laughter as Star frowned at her best friend, "If you find my class so boring, you can join us for detention and-"

"No…I'm sorry Miss Skullnick, I just had a rough night." Marco yawned and rubbed his eyes, "May I go splash some cold water on my face?" Miss Skullnick groaned and rolled her eyes before nodded and Marco stood up and walked out of the classroom.

The bell rang and the students walked out of their classrooms and filled the hall. Star walked over to her locker and saw Marco standing in front of his locker, his head, "Marco," he walked up to him and tapped him on his shoulder, causing him to jump and look back in a panic, "Are…are you okay? You never fell asleep in class like that and you're starting to fall asleep in front of your locker,"

"I uh…I'm fine Starlight…just a rough night," Star frowned as Marco closed his locker and took a deep breath, "Well let's get home,"

He turned and got ready to walk away, "Marco? The school day isn't over yet. We have lunch, music and then gym before we can go home," Marco sighed and Star softly smiled, "C'mon Marco, I'll walk with you to the cafeteria," Marco nodded before the two of them walked down the hall with several other students surrounding them.

Okay, this is the first chapter to this story and I hope it turns into something. Like I said, this is an AU. Please enjoy everyone and please let me know what everyone thinks.
