Forest's POV
A week or two passed by. Star still hasn't talked to me or Sean. Every time I see her, she just gives me glaring, angry eyes. I tried to talk to her and say I was sorry. All she says is "Yeah, right. Like I'm supposed to believe that!" and then she walks away. I was sincere, and I meant every word. She didn't care, and she didn't even listen at times. After a week, I finally resorted to asking for advice. Niki, an old friend of Star's, was the first option. If I had to get advice, it might as well be someone that knows Star better than anybody. Aside from her parents, of course.
Niki, however, wasn't home. I knocked on the door and sat outside for around an hour. I remembered that she was still mad at me because I was accused of kissing Deserae, Star's sister, but she really kissed me. So I lost all hope in that hour. So, I went to the person that I can at least rely on, and knows Star as much as me and her parents. That was Shadow.
Though, I had to be careful. Shadow hated my guts but loved Star like a sister. Shadow answered the door with an unusually friendly "Hello"…
"So nice to see you again, Forest…" he greeted, very unusually… I cautiously stepped inside, looking around for traps or weapons. All I saw was Solar, Death, and Rouge, watching TV. Shadow pushed me along to where they were sitting. Death ignored me and so did Solar, but Rouge gave me a friendly "Hello, Forest" and sat back to watch TV. Shadow then pushed me into his bedroom and locked the door.
"Alright, jackass. What do you want THIS time?" He asked. I sighed, trying to stop myself from fighting him.
"Shadow…I just want some…advice…" I finally muttered. Shadow snickered.
"hehehehe…lemme guess…Starfire's angry with you and some other person for some bet you made?" He asked. He was completely correct…except for the bet thing. But, I didn't wanna know why…
Shadow muttered to himself, and whispered into my ear a few tips. One was playing hard to get.
"Women do this all the time. All you have to do is play with them. Get even, for once!" Shadow shouted. He let me out of the room, and outside the house. I couldn't believe I was doing this, but I knew that Shadow's advice wouldn't work. So I had to go to the last person I'd even consider; Silver.
I headed to Star's house, trying to find a way to talk to her dad without getting hit. Well, technically, I live with them, but with Star holding a grudge against me, I'd rather stay at Jeremy's until it clears up. He rang the doorbell, and Star answered.
"Oh, uh…Hi Star…" I greeted, nervously. Star just turned up her nose and slammed the door in my face. Her eyes, I could see before she slammed the door, were full of tears. I sighed and gave up. I went to school the next day, trying not to think about what I've done.
"Yo, green guy!" A voice called. It was Sean, of course…
"You did this!" He shouted. I had no idea of what he was talking about. He then punched me in the face.
"DON'T PLAY DUMB, YOU ASS!" he shouted. I hated that hedgehog more than anything that day. I was tempted to use my power, when I could hear Jennifer saying not to…
I walked away, trying to get to class. Sean then held a gun behind me, about to shoot. I turned and saw somebody try to block it, and it was unbelievable…
It was Star…
