This short story will just be a stand-alone type thing so I won't be carrying it on. All written in thought/diary-perspective and in Star's POV. I do not own Star vs the Forces of Evil or any of its characters, but the story is my own.
Enjoy!
When I was younger, my mother was very protective of me. Back in Mewni, she would hide me away from boys my age in the castle as to both avert their interests in me and to keep my attention off of them. She would drag me away or make a diversion and then lecture me on how "precious" I am and how she just wants me to be safe. This made most of my Mewni friends either girls (I already knew I was into boys) or kids way out of my age range at the time.So, when Mom sent me off to Earth with not really many rules and the permission to delve into 'love' if I was willing and at my own pace, I felt a new spark of freedom that I hadn't felt before.But now, I feel like she shouldnt have given me that liberty. Because now something weird is going on. Now I think I'm starting to like my best friend. I didn't really realise what the feelings were for a long time and I feel pretty darn stupid for it.Why can't I stop thinking about him?Is it because I find him cute or funny or smart? Why am I so scared? Why does it have to be my best friend that I have a crush on? Was this just something brought on by mewberty or is it more than that? Does he...like me back?...no, of course not. I feel bad that I'm hiding these feelings from him (since we're really close), but he has a girlfriend! I can't just barge in on their relationship and be all "Hey Marco I'm really into you and I want to stay friends with Jackie but I'd rather you break up with her for me even though you're a really perfect couple!"...because I don't want to be a jerk to anyone. I really don't know what I'm doing. Maybe mom was right from the start. Maybe I shouldn't be thinking about these things but...I really can't help it. Marco is everything to me, but I'm going to have to hide this from him. No matter how hard it is.Marco came home from his date with Jackie at about 10:30pm last night. I was about to run up and hug him, but as soon as he walked through the door, my face had become a deep red and I felt all flustered, so I just quickly ran upstairs. In that tux he just looked so...so...hot? Ugh, I really need to stop. If I don't stop acting weird around him, he's gonna find out sooner or later. And I can't let that happen. Can I?Thankyou for reading, it means a lot! Any constructive criticism would be much appreciated, as I would love to know how to improve my writing technique. This takes place before the episode "StarCrushed". This is not based on anything necessarily 'canon', it is just my interpretation.Cya!!
