Disclaimer: I own nothing.


Starr walked up to Michael's apartment. She had just gotten back from The Haunted Star, which was apparently going to be Johnny's new club. He also wanted to do the recording for Starr's album and possibly have her perform there. Apparently Johnny could come through and was actually going to make her music career happen.

"Well I just wanted to check on you," Starr stopped dead in her tracks when she heard Sonny's voice. She heard Michael's door shut and footsteps coming down the hall. Starr turned down and different hallway and leaned against a wall, that she knew Sonny couldn't see. She waited until she heard him go down the stairs. Starr breathed a sigh of relief before heading towards Michael's apartment. She knocked on the door. Michael opened the door and smiled.

"Hey," Starr smiled slightly before quickly entering his apartment. "Well you're in a hurry."

"Well I'm not sure if any more of your family is lurking around," Starr said. Michael gave her a look. "I heard your dad and had to duck down a different hallway and hide there." Michael laughed and Starr smacked his shoulder. "It's not funny you jerk!"

"Would you forgive me if I said I imagined you doing a barrel roll into a different hallway to avoid my dad?" Michael asked and Starr rolled her eyes. "Okay fine, it's not funny."

"Thank you," Starr said. "I've just been a little on edge that we'll get caught by one of your family members. I mean it helps that most of my family is in Llanview, but I'm still freaked out." Starr sat down on the couch and sighed. Michael sat down next to her. "I just don't want to start an all-out war between our families."

"I'm sorry if I made you think that way," Michael said. "But just because our families may not like each other, it doesn't mean they have a say about our relationship." He took Starr's hand. "That only concerns us." Starr smiled a little.

"You're right," Starr replied. She then leaned towards Michael and gave him a quick kiss. Starr moved to pull away but Michael pulled her onto his lap. "Michael!"

"You can't get away that easy," He said, a smirk on his face. Michael pulled her onto his lap and captured her lips in a passionate kiss. Starr felt her breath get taken away by the kiss, in a good way. She had learned in the past week that Michael was a great kisser. Starr pulled away to catch her breath.

"I think we're getting a little too good at that," Starr said.

"Impossible," Michael replied. "There's always room for improvement." Starr rolled her eyes and leaned her head on his shoulder. Michael's hand moved gently up and down her thigh. "How about we have some dinner?"

"Okay," Starr said. She got off Michael's lap and stood up.

"Let's just not destroy the kitchen this time," Michael suggested as he stood up.

"Fine," Starr said dramatically, before taking Michael's hand and pulling him towards the kitchen.


Michael had his hand entwined with Starr's as they walked around the PCU campus. She looked up at him and smiled.

"Sorry we had to come here today," Michael said. "I have to register for classes and I didn't remember until this morning."

"It's fine," Starr replied. "Besides, it's nice seeing where you go to school. And it's really pretty."

"Eh," Michael said. "I've seen prettier." He looked down and smiled at her. Starr blushed and nudged him. Michael chuckled and gave her hand a squeeze. They were so enthralled with the other's presence that neither saw the other girl coming. Not until Michael crashed into her.

"Ow," She mumbled from the ground. Michael let go of Starr's hand.

"I'm sorry," Michael said, extending his hand to her. The girl took it and stood up.

"Happens," She said brushing some dirt off her skirt. She looked and Michael and tilted her head. "Have we had a class together?" Michael gave her a look. "Maybe a business class?"

"I took Business Management 101 last semester," Michael said. The girl nodded.

"I thought so," She said. "You did the presentation on coffee." Starr gave Michael a look, knowing very well that his dad was, under certain circumstances, a coffee importer. "I'm Ellie."

"Michael," He said, shaking her hand. "And this is Starr." Starr nodded but looked warily at the other girl. She wasn't the girl from Kelly's, thankfully. However, it wasn't like this other girl wasn't pretty. She had brown hair that was pulled back into a French braid and had black Ray ban glasses on her face. She was wearing a light blue button up shirt, that looked like it had been hemmed for her to wear, and the sleeves were rolled up. Ellie was also wearing a yellow skirt and black converse.

"I'm assuming by the hand-holding and cute looks," Ellie began. "That you two are an item?"

"Yeah," Michael said, taking Starr's hand back in his. Starr attempted to smile, but still didn't like Ellie being around them. "Anyways, we have to go. I have to register for classes."

"That's where I was headed," Ellie said. "I mean, before we collided."

"Oh okay," Michael said. They all started heading towards the academic building. Starr tried not to frown. She really didn't want to hang around Ellie and she certainly didn't want Ellie hanging around with Michael.


Starr sat in a chair outside the academic office. Michael had gone in to register for classes. Ellie was sitting by Starr, a middle chair which Michael had been occupying, separating them. Ellie was scanning a course registry book. Starr frowned as she looked at the other girl. She had clearly been trying to flirt with Michael. And by try, Starr saw it as a complete failure.

"You know I'm aware you're staring at me," Ellie said. Starr crossed her arms over her chest. Ellie looked up and closed the book. "It's not very hard to know what you're thinking. Your boyfriend might not see it, but I do."

"Oh and what's that?" Starr asked, glaring at Ellie. Ellie rolled her eyes.

"You think I'm hitting on your boyfriend," Ellie stated matter-of-factly. Starr went to say something but Ellie stopped her. "You're exhibiting all of the signs of a jealous girlfriend."

"Whatever," Starr said, looking away from Ellie. She was right, but Starr wasn't just going to come out and say it.

"There's just one problem with your logic," Ellie said. Starr rolled her eyes and looked back over at her. "Your boyfriend is so enthralled with you, he doesn't notice anyone else. Hence bumping into me." Ellie stood up. "I was only talking to him because I'm trying to make friends. It's not easy when you're not from around here." Ellie started to walk into the office.

"Wait," Starr said and Ellie turned around. "I'm sorry for how I was acting. I guess I just got jealous. We haven't been dating that long and," Starr stopped. "I'm sorry."

"It's fine," Ellie replied. "Kind of pointless, in my opinion, but it happens."

"I understand the whole not knowing anyone," Starr said. "I'm not from Port Charles either."

"Yeah this isn't always the most welcoming town," Ellie said.

"You have no idea," Starr muttered.

"I have to go register for classes," Ellie said. "But maybe I'll see you around." Starr nodded and Ellie headed into the office as Michael came out. He didn't even notice Ellie as he walked over to Starr. Ellie gave Starr a look before going into the office.

"Hey," Michael said. "Are you ready to go?" Starr nodded and stood up. She entwined her fingers with his as they headed out of the building.

"Ellie seems nice," Starr said.

"Yeah I guess," Michael said. Starr really felt like an idiot. Ellie was absolutely right; Michael had paid no attention to her. Michael looked over at Starr and smiled. Yes, she really was an idiot for getting jealous.
