Star was skipping to her locker while tossing her wand in the air. Class had just ended and was going to take some stuff out because she had a test in a few days. Marco had made her promise to study at least 30 minutes for this test. She promised and now was blasting her locker open with her wand.

She pulled out anything that seemed helpful. Rulers,protracters,textbooks,calculators,journals and books, when a piece of paper fell out the textbook she was taking.

Thinking it she must have ripped a page by accident she grabbed the paper quickly and looked at it hoping it wasn't a page from the school book.

After glancing she did a sigh of relief it was just a piece of white printer paper with text. The last time she ripped a page Marco scolded her and gave her a loooooooooong lecture on responsibility. She decided to see what was written on the page.

"Dear Star,

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

I love your laugh and how your eyes sparkle blue,

I think I might have a crush on you."

Star stared at the paper dumbfoundedly.

She had never seen writting like this before.

Then she remembered something faint about a thing called a poem.

"So this is what Miss Skullnick was talking about. I get it now! But why does it have so many red hearts and stars? Although I looooove stars~ Didn't she say that poems were mostly on blank pieces of "paper"?"

Star turned from hearing footsteps drawing near.

She saw Marco running towards her.

"Marco there you are!" She puts her hands on her sides. "Where were you?!"

Marco takes a moment to catch his breath from running so fast.

"I stayed a bit to get some extra credit on my test since i only got 98%"

He showed her his 103%.

"How is that possible I thought the max was 100%?"

"It is but for over achievers like me" He puts his fist on his chest. "you can get up to 5 more points."

"Yeah, yeah" Star puts the poem/letter in front of his face. "I found a poem thingy in my locker!~"

Marco reads the poem. "Uh Star I think you got an anonymous love letter."

"An om nee mouse?" Star cocks her head a bit with a look of "I don't understand".

Marco facepalms. "Ann-on-nee-mus. A love letter that's sent without a name. It also means you have a secret admirer whose crushing on you."

"Ooooooh. I'm going to try to find out who gave me this!~ I hope it was Oskar." She puts her hands together next to her face.

Marco's face hardenes.

She turns and looks at Marco. "YOU HAVE TO HELP ME FIND OUT WHO IT IS!" She said while jumping up and down excitedly.

"Alright we'll start tomorrow"

The two head home Star skipping happily and Marco walking.

The next day Star and Marco went to search for the secret admirer.

Marco suggested not to see if it was Oskar first so she doesn't get her hopes up.

Star agreeded and went on their search. Through the day Star hung around guys to see if they acted differently. But as usual they just mentioned how cool she is and how she "rocks".

After a couple of days Star decided to see if it was Oskar, her crush.

Sadly it wasn't. She was so disappointed. Not only was it not Oskar but she felt like the letter/poem was a prank now to toy with her feelings.

She felt like giving up. It was almost winter break anyway. They started walking home when Marco stopped.

"Hey Star you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine it's just I actually got excited at the thought of it maybe being Oskar."

"Oh."

"So you wanted it to be Oskar huh?" He starts to blush a bit."so if it was a guy who wasn't Oskar would push him away? Would you?" He said a bit irritated.

Star looks at Marco confused. "I don't know. I guess."

"So what i-if I was the one w-who sent you the letter?" He quickly says quietly and bends his head down concealing his scarlet face.

"What? What do you mean?" Star starts to go a bit red.

"I-I don't know it's just..." He put his hands into his hoodie pocket and looks slightly up.

"It's just what?"

Marco looked at Star, sighed and thought "it's time to stop playing it safe and just go for it".

Star felt herself being pulled closer. She looked at Marco and noticed a small speck of hazel in his eyes she hadn't noticed before.

Her heart was pounding. What was Marco doing?

She thought he liked Jackie? Why did he give her the letter? Why did his feelings change?

Millions of questions were going through her mind.

Marco's lips enclosed with Star's. The warmth sent an energy through her body.

Star couldn't believe what was happening. Her eyes were open wide and was beet red.

She was in shock but then closed her eyes and returned the passion. She just didn't want to be the only one without a crush. Well she already has one, but was to scared to say who it was. So she faked her crush. But now she didn't have to anymore.

Soon just a quickly as it happened the kiss was over.

Marco was blushing uncontrollably.

"Star...I-I really like you..."

Star looked at Marco. Her face felt really warm. She was pretty sure her face wasn't the same color anymore. She had butterflies in her stomach.

"Wi-Will you be my-my" he covers his face with his hoodie. "Girlfriend?"

Star blushed and smiled a bit. "Yes."

She kissed his his cheek with blushed red from the contact of her lips.

Marco wrapped his hand around Star's and they both walked home. Now a couple.
