Yay! I finally updated The Dance! Hope y'all enjoy!
Chapter 3
A few hours later, Star and I are still studying and working on our homework. Or at least attempting to. It's hard to concentrate when you're sitting next to your crush.
"Marco! I don't understand this." Star says while pointing to a math equation. "Come on, that's easy! You just carry the 1 and multiply the sum by 7 then reduce the fraction. See? Easy." Star just stares at me with a confused look on her face.
About an hour later, mom calls us down for dinner. "So Marco, are you going to the dance with anyone Friday?" she asks as I carry my plate to the table. "Yes, actually." I start. "Ooh is it that Jackie girl you're always telling me about?" mom enthusiastically asks. "No, someone even better!" I point at Star and at the same time she skips to my side and says "ME!" as she does that her wand lets out a few hearts with smiley faces.
I don't think I have ever seen my mom so excited. Well besides the time she won a sewing machine a few years ago. As soon as we finish eating she scrambles to our rooms to pick us out coordinating outfits. "Moooom, please don't. I can pick out my own clothes!" Just then, Star walks in wearing one of the dress chioces. She looks stunning. My jaw dropped and I think she noticed because she giggles. She is wearing a strapless mint green dress that goes down to her knees. On the bottom corner there is a small starfish.
"So, what do you think?" Mom asks Star. "Well, if I could find some leggings and boots that matched, it would be perfect!" I laugh and Star stands there with a serious face. "Oh, you're serious? I'll just go downstairs" I announce, knowing that my face is beet red.
To be honest, I kind of regretted seeing Star in her dress before Friday. At least the hair and makeup will be a surprise. Then I get a great idea, I should take Star out to dinner after the dance. I pull out my phone and look up nice, but not too expensive restaurants to take Star to. I settle on Burger 21, then Starbucks. "Star, I have a surprise for you!" I yell from the living room. Almost immediately, Star comes running down in her t-shirt and galaxy yoga pants.
"What is it Marco? Wait let me guess... you got me a pet unicorn! I bet it's in the back yard!" She turns to go outside and I grab her arm. Her face turns red and so does mine as I clear my throat. "No, there is not a unicorn in the backyard. I was wondering if you wanted to do to dinner after the dance, you know, just the two of us? It's ok if you don't want to I mean-" "Marco don't be so nervous." Star says while putting her hand on my shoulder. "It's just me, Star Butterfly. The girl you hated when I first arrived." I let out a nervous laugh as I think about that first day. "So what do you say, Star?" Star jumps up and replies, "I would love to Marco! Hugs!" She gives me a big hug, then skips over to the TV to watch her favorite show Steven Universe.
And that's the end of chapter 3! Please leave reviews, I love hearing what you have to say! ~PSS
