I know I'm late, again, I just have a procrastinating problem that is … hard … to deal with. Other than that, here is the next chapter of this story so I hope you enjoy. Now to the reviews.

kylegriggs13: Well can you blame him? He think the girl he's in love with is in love with the person he's pretending to be.

Guest Sorta: You know I forgot about those memes until you mentioned them.

Dex Cipher: I can't really use those for nourishment but I can put them on the wall for decoration so thank you.

JJmmmmmlol: Although the story is already written, and I can't spoil it, I can say that I like your idea.

Readmenot: Well you're welcome, I aim to please. As for Star's actions, well, this is Star we're talking about.

ArtGirlLullaby: Well I did do a bit of research on the topic of split personalities and I found nothing on temporary split personalities but then I remember a little thing called anxiety, but I'm not telling you which one it is. And yes, it's going to get worse.

RobLebron: Well Star doesn't know what to do at this point, if she tells him then that could help her situation (not that she knows it will because she doesn't know Marco is aware of her invading her personal space) and Marco won't want to keep this up forever.

TheRealCartoonManiac: I'm not sure what's happening to you but I know there's no point to living forever.

Eddie: Well you'll get more, and here's a jaw breaker to hold you over.

(Marco's POV)

(Two days later)

It was now Monday morning and I had just barely managed to pull myself out of bed. "I hate Mondays." I had spent most of yesterday trying to gain control of my sanity and come up with a plan to deal with my current Star situation. Sadly though, I wasn't able to make much progress on either front. I finished putting my hoodie on before looking back down at my desk. I pulled out the drawer with my invitations, and mask, and lifted up the false bottom and picked up the Charro mask. "It's not safe to leave this here." I said before bringing it to my backpack. I was just about to put it in, but stopped for a moment and took a good look at it. "This is your fault you know." I told it. "If you could have just told Star 'no' then I wouldn't be in this mess." I continued to stare at it; almost thinking it would reply. "But just look at me, I'm talking to an inanimate object so what do I know."

I let out a sigh as I remembered what happened a few days ago. It was almost like someone else was in control of my body until I took the mask off, causing me to go back to normal. I was a little afraid, but curiosity ended up getting the better of me. I put the mask on and secured the string in the back. I didn't blank out like before, but something sure felt different. "What is this?" I asked in my Charro voice. "Wait, when did I-" I stopped myself before I could finish, I didn't know what was going on, but I still felt like I had control over my body. What's more, I felt a little at ease and I felt bad for being angry at Star. "I should … I should do something." I pulled out a piece of paper and an envelop and started writing. "Dear Princess Star."

(Star's POV)

I had just finished combing and blow drying my hair and I was just about ready for the school day. "I've really upset Marco this time … I need to find a way to make this up to him or I might end up damaging our friendship … or destroying it."

After finishing up in the bathroom, I skipped downstairs and into the dining room where a plate of pancakes sat waiting for us. "Mmm, pancakes." I grabbed myself a plate and began to dig in. As I continued to eat breakfast, Marco soon came down the stairs with his backpack in tow and a tired look on his face. "Good morning Marco!" I greeted. He merely glanced up at me before getting a plate of pancakes for himself. He must still be mad at me. I thought. I would still be mad at me too, considering how long I've been lying to him.

As we finished eating, we made our way outside and waited for the school bus to arrive. The ride to school was more or less uneventful as Marco still wouldn't talk to me. He still doesn't know that I found his invitations. I thought to myself. He should still be back to normal later today or tomorrow at the latest. I let out a small sigh as the bus arrived at the school and everyone disembarked. The walk to our lockers was awkward and quiet, I wanted so badly to say something to break the tension but thankfully, Janna's approach solved that problem for me.

"Well hello you two." Janna greeted looking as mischievous as ever.

"Hi Janna!" I replied. She followed right next to me as we began making our way to our lockers. Janna usually has some reason for talking to Marco or myself; but I was just glad I had someone to talk to.

"So, I hear that someone has a new boyfriend." She joked as she gently elbowed me. "So … Does this mean all bets are off?"

"What are you talking about?" Janna didn't reply, well, not verbally, but the way she was looking at Marco said it all. Please tell me she's not doing what I think she's doing. I thought to myself. "I'm afraid I don't follow."

Janna smirked before she swung to my other side, putting herself between Marco and me. She wrapped one of her arms around the back of his neck while drawing circles on his shirt with her finger. "Oh nothing." She cooed.

Marco didn't look the least bit amused by Janna's obvious advances and I just prayed that he wouldn't realize why Janna had made the comment she had made earlier. "I don't know what your game is Janna." Marco began as he removed both of her hands from his body. "But I'm going to say no."

"Awe, you're just playing hard to get." Janna cooed as she tried to get close to him again.

There was a short moment when Marco just stared at her with contempt. "No." He quickly took the next available turn leaving Janna and I alone.

Janna turned to look at me with a knowing smirk as I resisted the urge to hit her. "You're about as subtle as a train wreck, you know that Janna?"

She laughed at me and continued to poke fun. "I can't help it if you have, or had, a crush on your best friend." She intertwined her fingers around the back of her head and leaned back a little. "Nor can I help it if he's just so adorable and in need of a little corrupting from yours truly."

I could feel the blood rush to my face as I tried not to make a scene. "Janna, can you not do this?"

"Well, no I don't have to." She said as she tilted her head and looked away. "But, I thought that I would give you a heads up."

"No Janna, I already called dibs, remember?"

She dropped her hands and shook her head. "But that's not how it works Star, you got with someone else now so you can't hold dibs on him anymore, those are the rules."

"Marco's my best friend, that makes him an exception."

"Marco is your best friend meaning you get to call dibs on him at all!" Janna retorted. "Normally it's whoever knew him longest and you've known him for less time than anyone else in the school."

"I know him better than anyone else."

"Doesn't matter Star." She replied. "You got together with someone else and made it official on social media; now everyone has a shot at him."

"Oh, come on Janna!"

"Seriously?" She asked. "Star, you chose someone else." Janna's words sliced deep leaving me stunned. "You act like I'm telling you that you waited too long, which you did; but you have found another guy, got together with him, AND made it official. Don't forget this isn't the first time you dated someone else while you had dibs called on Marco."

I began to feel a little uneasy, Janna was right for the most part, but I still didn't want to risk loosing Marco in the end. "I … I just wasn't ready for him."

Janna let out a sigh and shook her head. "Well it doesn't matter now, everyone knows that Marco is fair game and they will swarm him like no tomorrow."

"Wait, really? Sure he's something else but this is still Marco were talking about."

"Everyone wants their knight in shining armor Star." She looked ahead and smiled mischievously. "Well, for one reason or another."

I tried to ignore Janna's comment as I continued to question her. "So when you say everyone-"

"I mean myself, Sabrina, Hope, Andrea, Chantelle, Chelsea, heck, even Jackie."

"But I thought he and Jackie broke up. And on top of that, not many people knew that I had feelings for him."

"Pfft, Jackie and Marco can still get back together, quite easily in fact." She smiled maliciously as she leaned closer. "As for the others, they don't have to know, they will see some go after him and like sharks to blood, they will charge from miles away."

I began to worry, Marco might have claimed that he was over Jackie but he had been into her for most of his life and it was likely that he might slip back. "But … Marco and I are a perfect pair."

"Then you should have made a move a long time ago." Janna explained. "But tell ya what, I'll hold onto him for you. When you are finally ready to actually try and take him, you'd better hope that I'm not planning on putting a ring on him myself." Janna smiled as she leaned back again. "Tell you what, I'll even break him in for you." I stopped dead in my tracks as Janna walked away with that innocent smile on her face. "Catch ya later Star."

I stood there for a moment and another moment just thinking about all that Janna had just told me. "But … I wanted to be the one to break him in."

You know, there's something interesting I've noticed, a lot more people are talking about what Star did wrong rather than what Marco is doing wrong, and I know that what Star is doing might be worse but I just find that interesting. Now I need to lie down before work so I'll talk to you all … at some point in the future.

Enjoy your day and please leave your tears in the collection bucket.
