One fun fact about me: I get bored easily. So what to do... Oh, right! Another chapter! There's nothing good to do so, yeah. Anyway, this is not just a Jarco fic, it's also Starco, but there's also another ship. You'll have to guess pretty soon. Also, apologies for my knowledge in love letters. I know absolutely zero, nada, kaput. So, enjoy the fic! P.S. Anna isn't who she seems.
A Different Kind of Dance
Chapter Two: The Letters
Marco threw the letters on the table in front of Ferguson and Alfonso. Their mouths we so wide open you can stuff a watermelon in there. Alfonso blacked out while Ferg stuttered and tried to ask questions. Marco's letters didn't go unnoticed by the school. The boys were staring daggers at Marco cuz jealousy, and the girls were whispering among themselves at who would want to send him a letter. "H-how?" Ferg finally asked. Their school had a handful of girls and they usually kept to themselves. Getting a girl to like them was one, another was getting anonymous letters from secret mmirers, lastly, he has two secret admirers. "Well, you see, I was just opening my locker when these popped out. I didn't know that I was popular among girls." Marco said with a smile as he read one of the letters.
The first letter he read was the purple one with roses. It was a purple piece of bond paper with words in print. It read:
Dear Marco,
You are the the one that fills my mind, I can't stop thinking of you. You are always there with a smile that brightens my day. You're here, you're there, you're everywhere I can look. When I'm down, one look at you and I feel free.
How I wish you could love me back. My love for you is so strong, not even a black hole can contain it. If you were lost, I would travel as far as the eye can see just to find you, you will never be lost Marco, for I am here for you.
Love,
Anna J.
P.S. Will you go to the dance with me?
Marco was awestruck. He had never believed a girl could write like this. I nean, yeah sure he has seen letters like these but were usually wrote by boys who want to charm the girls. Not that he was being sexist or anything. Alfonso and Ferg's mouths were still open after all this time and they opened even wider when they read the first. Their expressions were so funny he had to take a picture of them. He then wondered who was Anna. There wasn't an Anna at their school. Maybe a new tranferee? Not likely, Marco thought as he went to read the second letter, this one even better than the last.
It was beautiful pink bond paper, etched with words written in a beautiful longhand. It was a recycled paper, which gave it good texture. It also had a hint of glitter as the paper shined. It read:
Dearest Marco,
Whenever I look at you, my heart stops, my breathing halts, and you always look at me with a smile I will never forget. I can't stop thinking of you, every thought leads to you. When you talk to me, my mind blacks out, all I want see is your face. I dream of you every night, how we could run away from this town so we can live together.
I only care for you, Marco, no one else. If only I can express how much I love you, it will be too much for you to handle. And I love you too much to tell you that. I love you Marco Diaz. With all my heart.
Love,
Terra F.
P.S. Will you go to the dance with me?
Now, Marco was confused. First of all, the names. Who the heck were Anna and Terra? Most likely new transferees. Secondly, they both asked him to the dance. But he eas going with Jackie! Could he turn them down? Yes, but their hearts would be crushed, he would have to find where they are and and politely tell them he has a date. He also couldn't tell Jackie for help, she might get jealous. He was thinking about these whe suddenly, Star appeared at their table, a huge smile plastered to her face.
"Hi Marco!"
"Hey Star! Did you ask Oskar yet?"
"Yes! He's going to the dance with me!" Star shouted with a huge blush on her cheeks.
"Okay then..." There seemed to be a tiny hint of resentment in his voice. Even though he encouraged her a while back to ask Oskar Greason, he asked himself "What does she see in him?"
"What are these Marco?" Star asked as she read one of the letters. Her mouth opened wide. He shrugged, "Guess I have secret admirers."
"These are beautiful Marco! But didn't you ask Jackie to the dance?" Star asked as she read the last line.
"I did, but, I don't want to turn these girls down in their faces. They'll be heartbroken. I need help."
"Awww. How sweet of you. Thinking of how to turn girls down without breaking their hearts." Marco blushed.
"Anyway, bye Marco! I gonna hang out with Oskar! If you need help, just call me!"
"Bye Star! Have fun with Oskar!"
"I will!"
And Alfonso and Ferguson were still as stiff as a rock.
A few minutes later on a table in the back of the cafeteria, two girls ate their lunch quietly while finishing their plan.
"Did you talk to Marco? Terra asked.
"Not yet." Anna replied. "I'm gonna make my move soon."
"We better hurry up. The dance is in a few days."
"I know, I know. But we have to be careful, otherwise Marco will know we're flirting with him. And now that Jackie is in the picture, things are more complicated. Not to mention all the girls are talking about him as well.
"We'll take care of that later Anna. Anyway, if all the girls are THAT interested in him, they should've asked him to the dance weeks ago!"
"Yup, you're right. See you after class?"
"See you later Anna."
"Stage 3 is a go!"
