A/N: This story began with a thought I scribbled down a few months ago, added with encouragement from my best friend in the whole wide world Travis, and was forced to be posted by my roommate. I'm actually happy she made me post it, so this is for you Travis and Sky. I love you both.

Also I may take Black Star out of character just a little bit, and for that I am sorry.

One again I have named another Fan Fic after an Ellie Goulding song, but I digress.

Starry Eyed

Chapter One- 'Know It All'

Black Star was just your average guy. Yeah sure, he had a dream. That dream was his number one goal. Every morning when his sensitive eyes would open and adjust to the high level of sunlight that shined in his bed room was when he began to conquer that dream. Little by little with each passing day, that dream of his became closer and closer to being true.

What might someone as average as Black Star dream of anyways? Popularity? Friends? Girls? No, he didn't want any of that. As far as he was concerned, other people that didn't benefit him didn't matter to him in the least. He wanted to be the best, No! He needed to be the best at everything he did in order to consider himself worthy of being one of the greats. He was at the top of his game, exactly where he wanted and deserved to be.

Black Star was a top student at school. Others couldn't compare to him, there was just no competing with him. Being the top student wasn't easy though, he needed to work for it and that is exactly what he did. Rumors had even spread around the school that he knew future lessons that the teachers hadn't even planned yet. How that was possible, he had no idea but he paid no mind to it. Why would he anyways? Rumors benefited him in no way; they were just words that other people spoke to waste time with their lives. Black Star was bigger than that and he knew it.

He was something of a mystery that kid. He went through out his day studying and working hard, yet he never communicated with anyone. There were days when Black Star wouldn't even talk at all. No one ever talked to him really. In school Black Star was labeled as the 'know it all'. No one ever talked to him because they felt so intimidated by him. What do you say to such an intelligent guy? Not only that, Black Star wasn't bad looking at all. He even had a pretty good sense in fashion. His goal was to be the best right? So that's what he was at everything. He was practically a threat.

Black Star had one friend that he had actually let into his life, and that was Soul Evans. The two basically grew up together. Soul knew Black Star's goals and as a friend Soul supported him. Sure there were times when Black Star would complete blow Soul off to study or work out, but Soul knew it was just in Black Stars nature. Another thing Soul knew was Black Star's dark past, something that pained Black Star to think about. Soul had lived through that awful time with him, which is what made them so close. Besides Soul, no one had ever made an effort to even try to get near him, let alone try to be his friend. Rumor had it that Black Star was too good for friends. That never came from his mouth, but if everyone in school thought it then why not? He didn't need then.

...

The bell had rang and class had begun. Black Star was already in class, looking down at his desk. Everyone always stared at him as they walked in, but found it that he didn't need to give them eye contact. What for? Once everyone was seated, the teacher walked in closing the door. Before he said anything, the teacher posted a piece of paper on to a bulletin board near the door. Everyone in class knew what was on that piece of paper.

"Listen up everyone!" The teacher exclaimed loudly, gathering everyone's attention. Black Star studied the professor of the class, he always creped him out. "I have posted the list of groups for the nest assignment. You all will be working in pairs, so today I want you to discus with your partner what your project will be about."

With that said, everyone gathered around the bulletin board to take a look at who their partners were. Black Star of course was far from interested. He leaned his head against his hand, thinking. Why do I even come to this school? I can totally be home schooled. If I was then I could learn more. I can grow more intelligent and be that much closer to my dream.

"Excuse me..." Black Star was snapped from his thoughts when he had heard the sweetest voice. He opened his eyes and in front of him stood a girl. "You must be Black Star right?" Her eyes never left his while giving him such a pure smile. He stared back at her in shock. Was she seriously talking to him? The Black Star? "My name is Tsubaki..." She placed her books on to the desk next to him and then sat down. What was she doing and why was she talking to him? It made no sense to him.

"Not to rude or anything but why are you sitting next to me?" He was really puzzled. She kept her smile toward him which caused him to slightly blush. "I'm you're partner silly. For the project." She giggled. This was what he got for day dreaming when he wasn't supposed to be. "So, do you have any ideas for the assignment?" She asked him taking out a pencil and opening her notebook to take down notes. Black Star just couldn't believe it. It was the first time someone had come up to him and hadn't glared at him with ignorance. Instead she gave him a loving smile, when she spoke it was so soothing. This left him all chocked up inside. "Black Star?" She snapped him from his thought again. "Sorry!" He exclaimed, standing up. The class suddenly became silent, everyone eyes stared at him.

"I have to go!" As quickly as he could, Black Star grabbed his books and dashed out of the classroom and down a near hallway. Trying to catch his breath, Black Star was still deep within his thoughts. What was happening? Why was his heart racing? He had a feeling it didn't have anything to do with the running he had just done to get away from Tsubaki.
