Just after they got off the bus, Star had gone on with Sean, leaving Forest with Jeremy. He asked in questioning eyes,

"Who is that girl you keep staring at?"

Forest turned to his new friend. He sighed. "She's like a star in the night sky…She's the most caring person you'll ever meet…She's my whole reason for living… Her name is Star the Cat," He explained with caring and loving words. Jeremy smirked.

"So…Is she single?" He asked. Forest's calm state turned to anger. "NO!" he shouted. Jeremy sighed.

"Aww, she looks like a hottie!" He exclaimed aloud. Forest gave his friend an evil glare. Jeremy shivered but stood ground.

"That's probably why Sean's after her…" He pointed out. Forest looked out to where they were standing. Star smiled as she went to her advisory, and Sean waved back. He walked back, until he was stopped by a green hedgehog.

"Oh, the green guy. What do you want?" Sean asked. Forest's eyes looked at him menacingly. "Don't go near Star…" He demanded. Sean chuckled.

"Are you two going out?" he asked, trying to stop his laughter. Forest stared for a minute, and then sighed. "Not…exactly…but I…" Forest trailed off, never finishing his sentence. Sean smirked.

"Then she's free game. If you want her, then you'd better make your move. Because when I have her, you're not getting her back," Sean retorted. With that, he marched off, smiling evilly.

"Damn…" Jeremy trailed off. Forest stared at the fading figure of Sean, his own anger building up. Then he realized, he was right…Star was single, and, if he didn't do something fast, she would belong to anybody…including Sean.

Star sighed and headed to advisory. Her eyes sparkled in the August sunrise, and she whistled a melody called Oracion, which was mainly played on leaf whistle. When she finally sat down, Forest was already beside her. He sighed and tried to say something, but he remained silent. The pressure got to him; especially since he had to do it now. The first period bell rang, and P.E. started. On the first week, students only had to sit in the gym and listen to the coach about rules. Star didn't pay attention unless the coach said "This is important, so listen."

Star was in the way back with Sean, who also had the same 1st period as her. She was showing him her drawings of her friends and other things, such as Invader Zim and what goes on in her imagination. Sean looked happy, possibly complementing on her drawings and artwork. Her eyes lit up, as if she met another best friend. Forest's emotions at the moment were a mix of confusion, sadness, and most of all, anger. An hour later, they had arrived in Spanish, or 2nd period. Luckily, for Forest, Sean was in another class.

"Hey Star… I wanted to…" Forest whispered, when the Spanish teacher came in and shouted,

"!Buenos Dias, Clase!"

Forest sighed and tried to restrain his anger. He turned to Star and smiled.

"I'll ask you later," he whispered. Star smiled back and giggled.

Meanwhile…

Across the room, a wolf/bird hybrid sat, not paying any attention to the teacher. Her eyes stared at the clock, trying to speed up time. Jennifer was bored out of her mind; trying to think about what to do. She then saw a red hedgehog behind her, who was reading his book. It was Jeremy, Forest's friend. She noticed that Forest was acting strange, lately. Maybe one of his friends knew why.

"Hey…Jeremy?" She asked. The red hedgehog took his eyes away from his book, and turned to Jennifer. He smiled. "Do you know why Forest has been acting weird?" The hybrid asked. Jeremy looked at his best friend across the room. He then looked back at Jennifer.

"Yeah…Well, Sean is trying to steal Star away from Forest. Sean even said she was free game. If Forest didn't do something, she would be Sean's and he would never get her back," Jeremy explained. Jennifer stared at him for a while. Would Star really leave Forest for someone else? The 3rd period bell rang, and the whole class rushed out. Jeremy stopped Jennifer for a second.

"Also, Star doesn't know about this, so don't say anything…" He whispered. Jennifer nodded. She sighed and headed for 3rd period. She sat by her best friend, Star.

"Hey Star, do you like Sean?" Jennifer blurted out. Star stared at her friend. She laughed. "As a friend, yes," the blue cat answered. Jennifer smiled. "Okay…then Forest has nothing to worry about…" the hybrid whispered. Star tilted her head in confusion. "What was that?"

"Oh, n-nothing Star…" Jennifer exclaimed. Star stared at her awkwardly, and then turned her attention to drawing. Jennifer sighed and tried to keep the secret Jeremy had told her. Sean was right next to Star, who also had the same 3rd period as her. He kept on talking to her and complementing on her drawings, her outfit, even her eyes. Star blushed and sometimes giggled. Jennifer tapped on her friend's shoulder.

"Remember, we're here to capture Eggman, not to make boyfriends and such," Jennifer whispered, trying to make her stop blushing. Star nodded, and turned back to her drawings. Sean tried to talk to her, and once in a while, Star would pay attention. In no time at all, the 4th period bell rang. She told Sean goodbye and headed for 4th period science. Star was staring off into space, not really paying attention. Forest sat down beside her. He started blushing as he thought of asking her out. The science teacher wasn't even there half of the day, so the whole class made mischief. Forest was going to say something, when a preppy, golden fox came into the room. She looked at Star, and laughed.

"Well, well, well…we have a new freak in the school!" The fox exclaimed, laughing. Star ignored her and tried to focus on drawing. Unfortunately, the fox took away her sketch book as well.

"Huh, we have a little drawing obsession too, don't we?" the fox asked, laughing even harder. A meerkat took the sketch book away from her friend's hands and looked at the pages inside. She found multiple pictures of the hedgehog next to the blue cat. She didn't pay attention to them, though. What she did pay attention to was the others about Star's imagination. Her emotions, her deepest secrets, even her most precious memories were drawn in the back of the book. The meerkat took out one that looked like when Star first met Forest. It was drawn perfectly from every angle, all from her memory.

"Well, what do we have here?" the fox asked. Star tried to snatch the picture away from the fox's hand, but failed. The fox tore the picture in half, thinking it was garbage.

"Not a good artist. That figures," the fox mocked. Star fell to the floor and picked up the torn picture, tears in her eyes. Forest glared at the fox and meerkat.

"You can't just barge in and do that, you bitch! Just who do you think you are?" He asked demandingly while trying to comfort Star. The fox wagged her finger.

"I am team captain of the cheerleading team. My name is Courtney Cambell; now get away from my sight, you mother fucking freaks!" the fox introduced while pushing the two aside. Star tried to grab Courtney and choke her, but Forest held her back. She gave up and took the picture that was torn in half and the sketch book that the meerkat threw down. Forest helped her up and wiped away her tears. Star and Forest got back in their seats, seeing that the teacher was back in the room.

Star smirked an evil smirk. "I'm gonna get back at the fox, one way or another…" she thought.
