It was early in the morning for another school day. Janna walked across the hallways of Echo Creek High School, hoping she would get to class unnoticed. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. Everyone in school stared at her as she walked by the lockers and classrooms. This wasn't something she was used to, but she walked through it, with her best ability to avoid the comments about her.
"Woah, do you see this right now?"
"I don't believe this!"
"I didn't think she would wear something like that."
"She actually looks pretty cool like that!"
"Yeah, she looks better that way."
"Yo, Janna! That beanie rocks!"
"Looking good, Janna!"
The comments were nearly too much for her to handle. Overhearing all these conversations made her walk slightly faster and nearly made her cover her face with her beanie. Just as she was about to get to her class, however, she ended up bumping into none other than Star Butterfly.
"Oh, ho ho, Janna!" Star greeted her, looking at her with a surprised look. "Nice seeing you here this morning."
"Yeah, hey," Janna replied, chuckling nervously.
"I see you finally decided to wear that pink beanie I got you as a gift."
"Heh, yeah. I'm glad you got it for me."
"Of course! You did say you love pink."
"Yeah, so I gotta get to class now."
"Wait a minute, what?" Star stopped Janna from leaving by putting her hand on her shoulder. "But class doesn't even start 'till another 10 minutes."
"Did I say class? I meant I was gonna talk to one of my teachers about my grades."
"Grades? Come on, Janna. That's sound boring. Let's go do something fun before class starts!"
"And I would love to do that, but right now, I-"
Before she could finish her sentence, Marco stopped by and looked and Janna's pink beanie.
"Wow, Janna," Marco said to her. "Looks like Ms. Fight The Patriarchy decided to wear pink today."
"Marco, please shut up," Janna answered.
"What?" Marco responded, shrugging his shoulders. "It's only a compliment, Pinkie."
"Just hang out with your friends already, dude," she replied, aggravated by his smirk.
"Alright," he said smiling. "Later, guys."
As Marco left, Janna looked back at Star, showing her a face of concern.
"Y-you're not embarrassed by the gift I gave you?" she questioned her.
"Whaaaaaaaaat?" Janna answered. "No! No, it's just... it's..."
Star's concerned face couldn't help her act for much longer.
Janna sighed and said, "Yeah... I really am."
"Does this mean you don't like the gift?"
"No, I really do! I really mean it when I said I liked it when you gave me it not too long ago."
"So why would you be embarrassed by it if you like it so much?"
"I don't know... I mean, you know about the stereotypes thing."
"Yes, but, it still shouldn't matter. 'Cause I really like the hat I bought you."
"Heh, thanks. I really like it too."
Star looked at Janna in the face and placed her hand on her shoulder once again.
"You're beautiful just the way you are. Don't let anyone, not even the voices in your head, tell you otherwise."
"I will, your highness. Believe me."
Janna and Star hugged each other for a brief moment. After the hug, they looked at each other's faces, noticing their blushed cheeks and beady eyes. Both can't over the fact that they look so beautiful; especially Star, considering how great Janna looked in her pink beanie.
Once the moment was over, Star said, "Now come on! Let's grab some grub before school starts. Forgot to eat breakfast at the Diaz household."
"Right after we grab the money from Marco's wallet first, princess," Janna answered.
