Thank you all the support, reviews and follows! I can't put one by one right now because I need to go to class, but I'll do it soon as I can!
I hope you enjoy this!
Chapter 4: After Class
Star led Jackie to the school backyards; anxious and tense about the whole thing. How in the name of heavens she knew about getting back to Mewni? Had Oskar told her? Oh Lord, she should have told him to keep a secret; she completely forgot to tell him he wasn't supposed to tell anyone!
"Shouldn't we be at class?" Jackie asked when there was no one else in the backyard.
"Oh, it's fine. I got it covered up" Star smiled.
While in classroom Marco looked at the balloons marking Star and Jackie's places. Just balloons with smiley faces and a wig on top of it, Jackie's even got a blue crepe paper on it.
"Really?" Marco wondered out loud with a deadpan face.
The teacher looked at Star and Jackie balloons "Star and Jackie present."
"They're not even in class!" Brittany complained "How can you give presence on the balloons?!"
"They put them there, they are here somewhere at school and had enough work to put the balloon just to say they're in class even though it's obvious they're not. It's final weeks after four years of getting this once in a while, I don't care anymore…" The teacher replied and begun the lessoning class right after.
Star giggled thinking about the annoyed face Marco should do in the moment he saw the balloons. Then, she took a deep breath and gave her attention to Jackie again.
"Okay…" Star sighed "First things first, how do you know about me going back to Mewni?"
"Well…" Jackie shifted her weight from one foot to other and begins to count on her fingers. "Marco said you were acting weird, you talked to your mother, you broke up with Oscar – despite you guys didn't fight or anything, you're a princess from another dimension, we are about to graduate, you mastered the wand and your birthday it's coming soon too… I linked the facts." Jackie shrugged and looked at a bewildered Star.
"Wha… How?! Just How?!" Star asked.
"I watched a lot of Scooby Doo when I was a kid…" Jackie shrugged "And Gravity Falls… And CSI, Cold Case, Castle, Martin Mystery, Carmen Sandiego, you got it, right?" She smiled a bit ashamed.
Start frowned in pure confusion "What is a Scooby Doo?"
Jackie gave a sheepish laugh and shook her head "Oh, just forget about it. What I meant is that I love mysteries and I'm actually good with clues, puzzles and things like that… It wasn't hard to me to figure out what was going on."
"So…" Star said kicking a small rock on the ground. "Oscar didn't tell you?"
"Nope. I did asked him but all he said was 'you better ask her' and nothing more."
Star smiled thankful to Oscar keeping her secret, even when she didn't say to. He had consideration enough to not go talking about it to everyone, he probably knew her enough to know she was keeping this as a secret because she wanted to be the one to tell…
"So…" Jackie said trying to get Star attention back. "What exactly is going on?"
Star looked up to the blond girl; she knew Jackie enough to know she wouldn't tell anyone, but that didn't make things easier. The princess gave sad sigh looking down again dropping her shoulders "You better sit down."
.
.
.
Marco was walking towards his house with a jumpy Star around him. She seemed really bright about something, but every time he asked she would answer "I'm happy about a lot of things!" and that (from Star) was nothing new.
When he met the blondies after class, all they said is that there was a girl problem, but that it was already solved. That inquired him, but as much as he pushed to any of them giving him any answer, they kept avoiding the topic. On lunch-break, Star got on the edge when she exclaimed girls didn't like talking about their periods in public.
And that made him shut up for the rest of the day about their absence.
As the bell ring, Marco asked if Jackie would hang out at the new arcade where Ferguson, Alfonso and Janna were hanging out lately. Weirdly the girl tensed up and gave him a sad smile.
"I have something to do today, sorry."
"It's ok" He shrugged "We can go another day… You want help?" He offered.
"It's about college."
Marco tensed up. He had to admit he hasn't thought about Jackie's offer. It was a good offer since he had nothing holding him up on Echo Creek; also because he would go with someone and they would be stranger there together, it would be easier to both and there was also all the bills they could share to help each other…
It was indeed a good offer that he hadn't even a single thought about it.
He knew better than to lie or avoid the topic with Jackie, so he admitted on shame his absence of mind "Oh… Sorry I haven't thought about it yet"
"It's ok." She got up "I have to give a few documents and look out for my passport, so I can't do it today. If everything goes right, I'll already have a place there ready for me when we graduate." She smiled excited.
"That's awesome! Good Lucky then!" He waves while heading to the door where Star was waiting him.
"And Marco…" He looked back to Jackie over his shoulder. "Enjoy these days with Star, ok? She needs your support." He smiled a bit.
"Yeah…" He smiled sheepishly "I guess break ups are never easy."
"That's not all…" Jackie murmured.
"Huh?"
"Nothing!" She smiled. "See ya!"
"See you later!"
Now he was at his door house, Star got in quickly like there was fire on the street and Marco just rolled his eyes. Four years and she still behave the same way. He looked over the table and found a note; his parents went to grocery shopping and left their lunch on the oven, so it wouldn't cool off too fast.
"Star!" Marco called her heading to the kitchen "Mom and dad are out. Our lunch is on th-Oh…" He exclaimed when he saw Star was already eating her portion.
She shrugged, still munching her food "I was hungry."
"How did you even knew that was for you?" Star simply lifted a Tupperware lid with a note written 'Star' on the top "Oh, I guess that answers it."
"Yours is in the oven" She said and kept eating.
Marco got his, heating up before taking his place in front of Star. He pondered about Jackie's offer while eating.
The university she decided was a nice place to go, the beach, the weather and danger, all things she loved and was used to. Also, he really didn't catch any interest at any courses at universities close by had offered, maybe there would be something for him, he did feel like he needed a change of scene…
Not that he haven't gone a lot of scenes traveling with Star into dimensions, but that was another story.
If he stayed, he would still to find something to do. He liked being a teacher at karate, but he couldn't be that forever. Even if he loved his part-time job, Marco felt that if he did that every single day, in few years he would get tired of it and lost all the interest. It was a something he loved, but not to spend the rest of his life doing that out of living.
With that possibility erased, he didn't have anything holding him there at home.
"Marco, are you ok?"
He lifted his gaze upon Star's voice and looked at her concerned face.
Star.
He got Star there. How he's supposed to leave her out of nothing with no one and nowhere? She knew a lot of people, but it was different. They were partners and best friends; they got each other back… If he leaves, who would be there for her?
Marco also was the one who always were looking out for the princess on the same way she was for him. He was there when she got her first cold, Star who fixed his arm (also known as turned into a monster arm), he helped her when she first got rejected by Oscar, and she helped him when he broke up… How he could leave her behind?
He waved the fork on the air to dismiss her worries "Yeah, I just got a lot in my mind."
"If you say so" She got up with her plate, taking the dish to the sink.
He couldn't leave her; that was clear to him. So if he couldn't leave her then… She could go? Well, that seems better. She would love that place too! The nature, the attractions, the college parties and everything else… But why inviting Star while Jackie invited him felt so… Wrong? The two of them were friends, Jackie was almost like a sister to Star, and they were good friends since long ago. He, Jackie and his best friend; Ponyhead also would love the college parties with all the crazy stuff on that place; it was so different from Mewni things…
Mewni.
Star got Mewni to take care of. She couldn't go to California when she had to take care of her kingdom. She was still to go back and prepare to take the Crown and…
Why was he thinking about what was better for Star when that had to do with him (and partially Jackie)?
"Seriously, are you all right?" Star asked above her shoulder while drying the dishes.
"Just… Give me a minute." He replied low.
Marco hold his head on his hands, massaging his temple to try to think straight again. He was worried on the well-being of his friend, nothing wrong with that, right? Even if she couldn't go to College with him, she could go back to Mewni…
Star had to go back to Mewni; he always knew that. The real question was when.
It was so long he didn't quite remember what the deal was. It was for study? Once she learned everything she could to improve Mewni? It was until she was ready to become a queen? After college? After high school? After she… Why everything keeps going back to Star?!
A water balloon exploded on his head and Marco jumped out of his chair.
"Star! What was that for?!" He exclaimed getting up.
"You tell me. You're thinking so much your head was on fire"
"I agree with the girl." They both looked at his side and the Monster Arm mark appeared. "You're thinking way too much. Just ask her and solve things."
Star made a face "Ask me what?"
"Nothing" Marco replied "I'm still thinking some things about college."
"Oh… Right" Star tensed a bit, but before he could say anything else she begun to walk out the kitchen. "I promised Ponyhead I would call her, so I'll be in my room if you need anything!" And then she stormed out the room.
"That was weird" Marco said to no one in particular.
"You should talk to her, she's hiding something. Even I know that!" Monster Arm said.
"How could you known that?"
"Remember the first time you got a girlfriend and she felt left out? She went straight to talk with Ponyhead about it."
"They're best friends." Marco rolled his eyes "They talk all the time about a lot of things, I just happened to be walking by her door on the right time that day."
Marco did remember. Star was distant him, but he thought it was some girl stuff. On that day when he heard her talking to Ponyhead, he found out she was avoiding him; because his ex-girlfriend was jealous and pretty obsessive about him. She made Star think that she would be the one thing it would ruin his relationship and his life would be ruined – all because of her. When he confronted the problematic girl, things were a mess and he broke up right after the discussion (Well, to be fair he never was really dating her, it just turned out that he couldn't say no and she freaked out thinking they would get married… It was really creepy). And then he found out she was somewhat of alien hybrid.
Yep; his life never was supposed to be normal (And yes, he did have nightmares about that).
She chased after the dimensional princess to fight over his heart (he never understood why that was necessary). They won the fight, the girl went away to wherever-she-had-come-from and afterwards they came back to be as before. Star promised to tell him everything, so they could figure out any kind of trouble together, even if there was nothing to do with the other.
Why would she keep a secret from him?
"Man, I would change clothes. You're soaked and I don't want to be sick again"
"Thanks for your concern, dear arm of mine." Marco stated sassy as ever.
"You're welcome, boy."
Marco went upstairs in the direction of his room. He tried to recollect what he was thinking right before Star thrown water balloon on him, but it was gone. Just like a dream you have, but forget right at the moment you open your eyes. He grunted in frustration. It felt he had got into an important conclusion, but now that was far from getting recollected.
"Stop overthinking" Monster Arm said "It annoys me."
How ironic. "Monster Arm?" she said looking at the purple marks.
"Yeah?"
He pinched the mark with force, the parasite exclaimed in pain and Marco let go right after (it still hurts since it was his own arm) "No talking."
And the mark was gone in silence.
.
.
.
Star bounced slightly on the carpet where she sat holding a heart shaped pillow, giggling into her own happiness "So… After that moment I think… No, I'm pretty sure I am in love with him."
"Nooo waaay, Gurl!" Ponyhead exclaimed from the magical mirror once Star told her everything that happened the few days they haven't talked.
"I know!" She muffled her giggles on the pillow.
Ponyhead made a deadpan face "B-fly, I was being sarcastic. I knew that since ages ago."
Star let go of the pillow and stared at her best friend "What?!" She almost screamed as her jaw drops on the floor "And you told me nothing?!"
"I thought you were lazy, not blind." Ponyhead rolls her eyes.
"You could have told me when you realized!"
"I could make a thousand things, but you know" Ponyhead make a movement that looked like a shrug "I only do bad choices." She laughed after and so did Star.
"Ok, you're forgiven." She hugged the pillow again.
"So when it's the date?" Ponyhead asked.
"I…" Star looked and the dot stamp her pillow had. "Kinda of… Haven't told him yet…"
"Now you what?!" Ponyhead screamed "I gotta rip the dimensions only to put some sense into your head!"
"Shh!" Star shushed her friend. "I just don't know how to talk to him yet! I'm trying but it's so hard!" The blonde ruffled her hair "And also there's the Mewni thing, it's all so complicated!"
Star dropped herself on the carpet, covering her eyes with her hands.
Now there were two things she was meant to talk with Marco about it. One, she loved him. Two, she's going back to Mewni… God, even the order to talk could make all the difference. What was better? An 'Hey, Marco! I love you but I'm going back to Mewni' or the 'So, I'm going back to Mewni. Oh, by the way, I love you'?
"Gurl…" Ponyhead said unamazed "You're a mess."
"When am I not?" She huffed and looked back to the reflection of her friend, still laying down the floor. "What do I do?"
"Well, you need to talk to him, that's for sure…" Ponyhead looked thoughtful for a moment "You need to tell him two things completely different. One affects the other and there's no changing in both… How serious your mother was?"
Star sighed "Royalty serious", Ponyhead gave a sigh. She hated when her mother took the situation on the royalty side, because that always meant things were bad. Last time she saw her mother speaking like that, was when she and Marco decided to go against the forces of Evil…
And that was a huge thing.
"Star, what's wrong? You should be happy coming back home." Her Mother asked concerned.
"It's just…" Star sighed. "Earth became like my second home, the Diaz are like Godparents to me…"
"You belong to Mewni, my dear."
"I know…" She looked at her window. "But I also belong to Earth now after everything."
Her mother looked troubled by what she said. When Star looked back, her mother had a kind of look Star only saw once in her life…
When she broke the Wand to save Marco.
"Mom?" Star called her worried.
Queen Butterfly gripped her own hands a bit harder and took a deep breath. "Star… If you really feel like that, I'm really sorry to be the one to give this bad news to you…"
Star swallowed a hiccup. She would not cry out anxiety again like that night. She sniffed, taking breath and slow calming breaths to sit up again, Ponyhead still looked thoughtful.
"Gurl…" Ponyhead begin slowly "The only thing I can think is that you should tell him you like him; enjoy your time while it lasts and then 'bye bye'… But that's harsh on both of you."
"There…" Star begin, she gulped before continuing "There is an option."
"What is it?" Ponyhead asked confused. Star played with her fingers before looking up; her best friend got the message and got surprised "Woah, you like him that much?!"
"I do." The princess hugged her legs up and rested her chin on her knees.
Ponyhead snickered "He will never hear that from me, but… He would do an awesome king."
"You won't be against?" Star asked surprised.
"Whaaaaat? You're kidding, B-fly? Earth Turd has your heart. I'm by your side whatever decision you take. I know you always do your decision on the best you can think." Ponyhead smiled "You go, Girl!"
"Ok… I'm gotta tell him." Star reassured herself of her own decision.
And then there was his voice calling her at the door. "Star?"
"OMG, there he is!" Star hushed already giving up her perfect plan of telling him anything.
"It's ok! You can do it! Pretend I'm not here on the mirror with the video off hearing everything you guys talk at all, ok? Ok, love you too!" And then the image came off.
Star screamed desperate in her mind, she took a breath and turned to the door. She would do it. She would talk to him. She would confess. She would accept anything he would give her. She would just…
Not freak out.
"Come in!" Star said getting up and cleaning invisible dust from her dress.
Marco got in ruffling his wet hair with a towel, he had changed to blue jeans pants and a white shirt with a dorky nerd joke stamped on along with the game character. She stopped breathing, her face heat up when she realized he just got off the shower. It never was a problem, but now her feelings couldn't stop her mind from imagining things.
Oh God, no! That was so wrong!
"We have homework, I wanted to remind you before you slip to Olga" He said still ruffling his hair.
"Oh yeah!" She said feeling her cheeks getting hot "Marco, I need to talk to you…"
"Hold on…" He got the towel out his hair into his shoulders "Ok, what is it?"
Everything; simply every single thing, theory, possibilities, chances and hopes Star got in mind, vanished at the tingling sound; and then, when she saw that chain and the pendant.
On was a key shaped pendant very simple, but meaningful. He got that one some time ago, she was super happy because it made official his new relationship. Marco was so bright on that day, shiny and bouncing more than she ever guessed he would. Her friend would keep playing the object on his fingertips without noticing – until it became a habit.
And of course, there was a girl wearing a heart with a key whole pedant.
Star wasn't that girl.
She could never got any competition with the other who had the complementary pendant. Not only because there was no room to compete for his heart, but also because she didn't want that. The girl was everything Marco could ever dream to have in his life, he was happy and loved. Kingdom, crowns, gold, responsibilities and even her deep love for him couldn't have a chance against that.
She felt her cheeks getting normal again, they continued decreasing the temperature on it until Star felt cold. She wondered if her marks could betray her somehow (hopefully not).
"Star, you are ok?" Marco asked concerned.
"Oh, yeah!" She shook her head "I just got into a thought, but never mind" smiled brightly at him.
Marco frowned at the princess "You sure?" The princess nodded "Ok, so what did you need?"
"Can you help me with physics? You know I never get that right" She smiled sheepishly.
"Sure" He shrugged "But you need to learn it."
Star laughed "I got Chemistry covered, I think it's enough."
"You use that on spells. That is cheating."
"How using what you learn to an everyday thing is cheating? Just because I use it on magic?" She teased him.
"Argh, good point." He grunted. "I'll get my books and notes and be right back, ok?"
"Take your time" she crooned.
As soon as Marco stepped out the room and the door clicked when the princess closed it, Ponyhead image appeared on the mirror again and looked annoyed at her best friend.
"Gurl, what was that?! He was right there! You could have said; it was the perfect moment! What…"
"I forgot…" Star murmured interrupting.
"Forgot what?!"
"I forgot…" Star slowly turned to the other princess "I forgot he was into a relationship."
"Whaaaat… But didn't he break up with the Outer space crazy?" Ponyhead said confused.
"That was way long ago. It's someone else. I…" She gasped "I got so happy about my feelings and him, with all the thoughts and possibilities that I forgot to think this through his point of view…" She gave a nervous laugh. "This is horrible… I am horrible."
"B-fly…"
"I mean…" She looked up, but not exactly to Ponyhead "What if he doesn't feel the same way? What if he doesn't want any of this? What if doesn't want to become a king? What if he doesn't want any of this messy life I have right now? What if I ruin it everything?"
"You don't know that Star…" Her friend tried to encourage her and give some confidence.
But the princess was beyond that point to be comforted. "Oh my God, I almost ruined everything!" She exclaimed "I can't…"
"Star…?" Ponyhead called her again trying to get her attention. This time, Star was getting calm and it worried her, that wasn't a good signal.
"I can't tell him about my feelings."
Ponyhead stared at the princess worried "No! Star, you must tell him!"
"I won't." Star stated. "That's final. That's my decision; I'll never tell him about what I feel."
"But, B-fly!"
"I'm sorry I worried you about this, Ponyehad. It's fine." She sniffed and took a deep breath "It really is…"
"How can you be fine?"
"I just… I'll let things be as they are" She shrugged and took a deep breath once again to voice it out as it would reassure herself "Marco will never know about any of this."
.
.
.
Both teenagers were on Star's bed; she laid flat on her stomach, looking through a book absently, Marco's legs spread cross his books and notes. He was trying to study, but it was beyond impossible when he was annoyed (yet again) by Star's tension.
He knew there was nothing to do with the final exams, even if she pretended that pretty well. If he hasn't paid attention, he would say she was studying.
Well, that and the fact the book she supposedly reading were turned upside down.
"Ok…" He said leaving his pen aside as he adjusted himself to cross his legs on her bed "We can do this on the easy or the hard way…"
"What you mean?" Star said pretending to keep reading.
Marco took the book from her hand and held it right on her face so she would actually look at the book and not just pretend.
"This..." He said while turning on the upright position right in front of her eyes "It's upside down."
"Oh..." She said a bit nervous while trying to find an excuse for her failed attempt to look cool "And here I thought Earth had some language I haven't learned."
Yep. Good. Smooth. It was normal for her to think that, right? She wasn't from Earth. She knew there were hundreds of languages, Marco even knew another one (and God, it was so good and kinda sexy hear him speak Spanish. It was somehow passionate and lovely and... She couldn't describe it better than to say she felt like kissing him senseless), so... It was a safe excuse, right?
One look at his deadpan face and she knew. No, it wasn't cool. Marco saw right through her and he knew she was lying, that she didn't even knew what the book was about.
"Nice try" he said putting the book aside along with their notes and other books, so none of them were between them "What's going on?"
"It's nothing… I guess I'm still a bit sad that Oscar broke up with me." Ok, the break up was a good excuse to avoid confessing her feelings to him. She already got in mind to never tell him and move on.
"You were the one who broke up" Marco reminded her "Which, by the way, you never told me why."
"I just didn't feel it anymore, like… in love. I felt like it became something I just... Had. Like routine. I guess I didn't want a relationship like that"
That wasn't a lie. She did begin to think their routine and date was becoming boring. She would stick to his band or he would go to watch movies with her, once in a while they would eat some junky food to say it was a dinner, but it never got more than that.
Her best friend kept looking at her and thought about his own relationship, just before brushing aside. It was time for Star.
"But why are you sad? You have been like that for a while…"
It was time. They were alone, she could talk to him and get through it, and they would make up and spend her final days on Earth together... As friends. She should tell him she would leave.
"Marco, I..." She looked up at him and their eyes meet.
That's when she realized she couldn't do it. She can't. Marco was basically everything she loved. She was his confident and best friend. He was the boy she loved and... She just couldn't say. Even if the words were true, even if she knows she has to tell him, even if she tries to say... Her voice doesn't say the words, her body doesn't obey her and her mind doesn't let her go there...
Just few seconds later with her mouth open she realized: it's not only about talking. Star couldn't stand the thought of live the rest of her life without Marco's presence. She just couldn't even try to imagine how it would be. She just knows it will hurt.
Really bad.
"I can't tell you" She admits.
"Aw, come on! You almost did!"
"I really can't" She apologizes "I know I have to and you should know... But I can't bring myself to say it."
Marco though for a few moments, looking at her body and thinking about her behaviors, then he gasped and put both hands on his mouth, eyes shining while he got into a conclusion.
"Are you pregnant?" He said thrilled.
"What?! No!" She screamed embarrassed and throw a pillow at him "Why would you think that?! And what is that disappointed look on your face?!"
Marco shrugged pushing the pillow on his face aside "I dunno, I just thought. It would be funny to take care of your child bouncing around the house" He laughed "But at least it eased your worries"
Star looked at him surprised, but then she smiled. It was something to expect from Marco. Sweet, loyal, caring and dear, Marco.
There; smile gone.
"You're still tense" He observed.
"I can't help it."
"Well, I can."
Star blushed and then looked at him. Marco was on his knees with both hands in the air like claws on her direction. A nervous smile made yay to her lips; she knew what he planned to do.
"What are you doing?" She asked in a nervous laugh.
"Nothing, just an evil plan to ease your tension…"
"Marco," She said already understanding where this leads, "if you're not going to massage me, I suggest you to not even try to do what you plan to do."
"I bet you will scream" He singed getting closer as she crawled backwards until her back was on the headboard.
The Wand was on the chiffonier beside him, any movement to get it and she was trapped, but if she didn't try he would do it anyway "I bet I'm gonna break your arm."
Marco shrugged "Monster Arm it's here for this."
The tattoo appeared just to exclaim a happy "Yes, I am!" and turn back to be imperceptible in his arm.
Star knew that any jolt and she would end up right on his trap. His arms where ready to get her any moment (it would be kind of tempting at any other situation) and it would all be gone. The princess couldn't hold the nervous grin against his evil one… She had to escape, but her wand was on the other side and he would catch her before he could reach it.
But it was worth a try.
Star jumped to get the wand, but Marco held her waist and threw her on the bed again, his hands immediately attack her belly making Star laugh out loud. She tried to hold, but it was impossible, Marco knew all the places she felt tickles. If she got his hand out of a place, it would be in another week spot. As his hands continued tickling her non-stop, the laugh became louder, her lungs were missing air and tears tempted her eyes.
Argh, such an unfair fight!
She was fighting vigorously, so Marco was also getting tired too. In one moment he was trying to avoid her pushes, she made him lost balance and fell to the side; it was enough to separate them and she reached out for the wand breathlessly, but Marco was faster.
"No magic!" He exclaimed reaching for her hand, he hold her wrists pulling her away from the wand and then pushed her to the mattress again, holding both her wrists next to her head in case she tried to escape.
Then he was on a trap.
He was right above her. Face to face, her hair was around her like a halo (well, a messed halo), she was breathless, cheeks red of the absence of air, the cheek marks were changing from a smiley to the normal hearts again, her blue half-lidded eyes were watching his brown ones with a bit of the laughing tears, observing all of him with full attention.
God, why he couldn't just move and stop that awkward moment? He just couldn't! Star's eyes were hypnotizing, were they always this deep color of blue?
He kept looking at her; a bit of breathless, sweating, looking at her like she was an entirely new being... She didn't know if she should be grateful or curse the fact her hands being trapped on the mattress with his hands. If they were free she would have raised them, only to hold his face and pull him down and kiss him (like she wished to do since a while ago), but this could mess up everything they had, so she was glad and also frustrated.
Marco kept looking at her eyes, wondering why he had this weird feeling on his chest all of suddenly. Then for some reason of the universe, his eyes had not paying this much attention of her eyes, but to her lips.
What was he thinking?!
She was his friend! His best friend and she had broken up with her boyfriend recently; he shouldn't be looking like that at such delicate, pink and soft lips… Star had kissed him on his cheek innumerous times, but now he was wondering how it felt to actually kiss them; her lips against his, dancing together and…
God, what kind of thought was that?!
Star realized they were in that compromising position more time than they should, his eyes watching her face from close and… God, why couldn't he just low his head a bit more so she could kiss him?
Just kiss me…
The boy above her looked in a deep though for a moment his eyes trying to catch something on hers. His mind was blank; all he could think was how he wanted to be in that moment. Marco moved slightly approaching her a bit, Star slow blinked at him and he stopped for a second before deciding to go further and lean on her.
And then, the phone rang.
Both of them got out of trance suddenly, the sudden and tense awkwardness eating them alive. Marco blushed and froze in the position, causing something to move on between them, Star lowed a bit of her gaze to see what had moved…
The shiny key pendant glinted between them.
How could she allow that? She couldn't let Marco do that, or ask for anything, or even think anything like that… Burned by slight guilt, Star was the first to do something.
She pushed him aside and getting up, laughing at the awkwardness to avoid any kind of conversation. "Wow, the phone… Ha, still ringing... I-I should get it…" She stuttered and mentally scolded herself "Yeah, right… Uh, coming!" She screamed to the noise even if that couldn't stop it and no one would answer to her.
Marco sat still on her bed, trying to figure out what was that intense moment out of space. He took a hold of the key on his fingers out of habit and looked at nowhere in particular while thinking.
Something was happening to Star; that was for sure, but something was happening with him too. And he didn't know if was because of her or himself. Everything in his life keeps going back to her for some reason.
And now, they had that moment. Star didn't realized that even though her voice didn't make a noise, her lips moved and formed words, he understood and in the moment he just acted the way the moment allowed, but now that he could think straight… He doesn't know what to do.
Her lips said "Kiss me"
And now he can't stop thinking about it.
Yes, more cliffhangers :D
