Star went to her room, and started unpacking her bag, taking off a lot of clothes, weapons and beauty things until she noticed a photo of her and Marco together smiling and hugging each other, she stared at the photo for some time.
''Maybe I should call him and say that I'm okay'' Star thought.
She picked the phone and dialed Marco's phone number, and waited for sometime but nobody answered, she then tried again and again but still nobody answered
''Looks like nobody's at home, I try to call him later'' Star thought.
Then she changed her clothes and went downstairs and found Tom already watching the movie without her
''You could have waited for me to start watching the movie'' Star said with a annoyed face
''You were taking too long, and dont worry, this is just the introduction'' Tom said to her
She knew that she didnt lost any important part of the movie, but she was annoyed because Marco never did that with her, he always waited for her with a plate of food and besides they always chose a movie that both of them wanted to watch, while Tom didnt even bother to ask what kind of movie she like, he was never gentle with her, this was one of the many reasons she decided to break up with him.
"Whats the name of this movie?" Star asked. "Videodrome" Tom said with a devious smile, but star didnt noticed it, he knew besides the facts that she fought monster every day, she was always scared of horror movies, he planned to put a horror movie so she would be scared and beg to sleep on his room, but during the whole movie Star just looked like she wasnt paying attention to the movie at all, looked like she was thinking about something, sometimes she said some random things about the movie, but Tom noticed that she was quiet instead of being the super energetic girl that was always speaking and moving, but Tom decided not to talk about it.
"Why Marco didnt answered the phone? what if he is pissed off with me? what if he doesnt want to see me again? I just wanted to listen him saying that he was jealous, not trying to create stupid excuses like listening to 'mysterious voices' or random things like that. Maybe I should try to call him again later" star thought, besides she was in Tom castle for some hours she was already missing Marco and his family, and she though if they were feeling the same way she was. After the movie ended she decided to call him again
Marco P.O.V. After he went to the park and meet Alfonzo and Ferguson, they decided to go to the arcade
Alfonzo and Ferguson were talking and Marco was thinking about Star, if she was ok in Tom castle, if he tried to harm her or something like that until he felt someone tapping his shoulder, it was Alfonzo.
"Hey, wake up, dont you agree with us?" Alfonzo said.
''Sorry what did you say?'' Marco asked snapping out of his thinking
''What's the problem? You're not even paying attention to us, it's about Star, right? The last time we saw you like that was when your dog died, at least explain to us, maybe we can try to help you'' Ferguson said smiling to him, Marco knew that he could trust them two, besides the facts they act like strange nerds and act childish sometimes, they were good listeners and knew how to keep secrets, that's for why they are Marco best friends
''Ok, but you guys promise me that you wont tell anyone right?'' Marco asked
''Yes, of course, you know we wont tell anyone'' Alfonzo and Ferguson said
''Alright, Star and I had a discussion last night, and she decided to take a break on her ex-boyfriend home, and she just left me alone here and didnt even consider giving me a second chance or something like that, but I didnt protest at first because I wanted to see how much time she can stay away from me, but now I regret it, I want to see her or talk to her, I miss her you know, when a person is near you all the time you think you wouldnt miss that person, but you just notice that you would when this person is away from you'' Marco said, looking to Alfonzo and Ferguson with a sad looking face
''Do you feel something beyond friendship?'' said Ferguson with a devilish smile
''Of course not, sometimes I have some dirty thoughts and other things, but I never tried passing beyond this line, I'm afraid of ruining our friendship'' Marco said
''So you shouldn't miss her that much, she will be back soon, now just relax and let's have some fun'' said Ferguson
Marco then noticed that they reached at the arcade, and both Alfonzo and Ferguson rushed inside, while Marco entered slowly. He noticed that pratically nothing changed since the last time he has been here, expect for some Ads and less movement, he remembered the last time he went to this Arcade was 4 years ago. It was his birthday, so his parents decided to eat a pizza and take him to the arcade, he remembered this with a smile on his face. So he decided to play a Racing game. For a moment he forgot all his problems and focused on the game, ignoring his surroundings.
Alfonzo and Ferguson POV, they were playing a FPS together and talking at the same time
''I knew it was something related to Star'' Ferguson said
''I suspected, but I never thought that he would be so depressed like that'' Alfonzo said
''I think sometime alone will do good for him, he need some freedom, he isn't married yet, why he need to be always together with Star, it's been a long time since he went somewhere with us without Star, she is holding him'' Ferguson said
''I guess he likes her, but he dont have the guts to tell her '' Alfonzo said
''What do you think Marco is? A coward?'' Ferguson said looking to Alfonzo with a angry face
''Are you kidding with me? Do you forgot how much time he used to spend stalking Jackie Lynn Thomas?'' Alfonzo said
''Oh yeah, but that's the difference between Jackie and Star, he rarely speak with Jackie but I never saw him nervous talking to Star'' Ferguson said
''But lets face the true, who do you think Marco has more chance with: A Skater girl or a Magical Princess from Another Dimension?'' Alfonzo asked
''Nice point, but I think he still have a chance with Star'' Ferguson said
''I dont think so, to tell the truth, I think she is going to break his heart rejecting him'' Alfonzo said
''Do you wanna bet?'' Ferguson asked waving a 5 dollar bill in front of Alfonzo face
''Alright, 5 dollars she is going to reject him'' Alfonzo said
''But keep this bet between us, if Marco or Star discover about this, we both are going to be in trouble, do you understand?'' Ferguson said
''Yes man, you can trust me'' Alfonzo agreed
Marco POV, he played till he lost a race.
For a moment Marco was starting to feel better since Star left for a while. He then noticed that he forgot his cellphone at home, but he thought that no one would call him, his parents are at home and probably Star wouldnt call in the first day. He spended a lot of time at the arcade, after the arcade he went to the movies and they decided to watch to a dramatic movie, they were the only one's laughing and pointing funny things about the movie, after the movies they decided to stop at a Fast food, Ferguson tried to pick up a girl with his belly trick, and obviously was a failure, the girl slapped him and walked away, Alfonzo and Marco started to laugh at his face
''Someday this will work, someday'' Ferguson said with a serious face, and then started laughing along with them.
After many hours of talking, Marco noticed that it was late, he spent the entire day with his friends, he was feeling better, he says goodbye to his friends and decided to go home. At his way to home he felt that he was being followed, but he thought it was nothing, until someone screamed on his right ear, making him scared, so he saw who did that
''Janna, why I'm not surprised?'' Marco asked taking a breath
''Where's that magical girl from another dimension?'' Janna asked
''She is... travelling'' Marco said
''I know you're lying, tell me the truth'' Janna said
''Why should I tell you?'' Marco asked
''House keys'' Janna said waving in Marco face
''Alright, we had a little fight and she decided to spend some time somewhere away from me'' Marco said
''Interesting, very interesting'' Janna said looking to Marco with a seductive looking
''Why are you looking at me like that?'' Marco asked
''You're single now?'' Janna asked
''Why are you asking?'' Marco asked back
''Nothing, I'm just curious'' Janna said grinning, and reaching close to Marco
''Hey, look at the time I gotta go'' Marco grabbed the keys from her hand and started running
Janna just stayed there with a smile on her face watching Marco running nervous
When Marco got home, he checked all the sides to see if Janna wasnt following him. When he got inside his parents were watching TV
''Hey Marco, how was your day?'' Mrs. Diaz asked
''Very good, today was funny, we went to the arcades, movies and a restaurant.'' Marco said with a joy on his face
''Good, me and your mom are planning to spend our day at the Spa, can you stay alone tomorrow?'' Mr. Diaz asked
''Dad, of course I can take care of myself'' Marco said
''Alright then'' Mr. Diaz said smiling
Marco went to his room, and found his cellphone laying on the bed
"10 lost calls from Star, should I call back... Orlet her worry a little bit more?'' Marco thought
