Solcrushed

Sol was sitting on his bed starring at the letter that was in his hand; it was almost humorous, how one little piece of paper could cause him so much distress and his parents so much joy. "Congratulations Sol Diaz." He read aloud. "You have been accepted into St. Harold's Junior high, we are looking forward to seeing you for the upcoming semester, bla bla bla." He threw the paper to the ground and fell back on his bed. This wasn't a bad thing, going to this school meant that he would get into a good honors program when he hit high school, then he could get into a great college and get a great job and all the other things his parents told him. The only down side was that he wouldn't be able to be with Star as much and that was a big downside to him. "She'll understand, right?" He asked himself. "I mean I'll still see her … we can still be close … it's not like I'm going away forever." He slapped his head in frustration. "But what if she finds someone else? What if I end up not having enough time?" He shot up as his eyes opened wide. "What if she ends up hating me for leaving her?"

Sol was going crazy, ever since Stars birthday, she, and the kiss, was all he could think about. Her crystal blue eyes, her golden blond hair, that heartfelt smile, how she can be carrying yet break you in two if you upset her or one of her friends, her amazing creative skill, and how soft her lips felt against his. From Sol's point of view, it was the start of an obsession, which in and of itself terrified him because he wasn't so sure she would find that so flattering. "Maybe this is exactly what I need." Sol said as he lied back down and put his arm over his eyes. "Just some time away to get my head on straight." He paused for a moment and let out a sigh. "But what will she say when I tell her?"

"Tell her what?" A voice asked from Sol's doorway.

Sol shot up to see his best friend and somewhat arch enemy, Star Butterfly standing at his door looking at him curiously. She was wearing the sky blue dress he had gotten her for her birthday which had a mild resemblance to her old one except this one had a shorter skirt and no sleeves.

"Star!" He exclaimed as he snatched the letter up off the floor. "What are you doing here?"

"Uh, you asked me to come?" She replied.

Sol had to think to himself for a moment before he remembered what she was talking about, he did in fact ask her to come because he had something he wanted to tell her, but he had lost track of time and she had caught him off guard. "Oh … right … I did … right."

She walked in closing the door behind her causing Sol to worry. "Uh, Star, if my parents come over and find you in my room with the door closed, they'll be more than a little upset so …"

"Don't worry so much." She said as she took a seat right next to him. "I mean we're not dating or anything so it's perfectly fine."

"Right." Sol said as his palms began to sweat. "Anyway … the … the thing I wanted to talk to you about … well … wow, I didn't think it would be this nerve-wracking …"

"Just spit it out Sol." She said as she took his hand.

"Well …" He picked up the acceptance letter and handed it to Star. "I've been accepted into St. Harold's junior school!" He spat out as quickly as possible.

Star looked at him surprised and just a little bit uneasy. "Oh." She began as she glanced at the letter, not actually reading it. "So … we … won't be going to junior school together like we thought."

Star's words did nothing to hide her feelings causing Sol more grief than he could have expected. "Look Star, I know that I said-"

"Woah, woah, woah, ha ha … listen to me, thinking about something as silly as that … I mean … you probably didn't know and you probably don't have much say in the matter."

"No I did not." Sol replied. "But … I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little excited."

"Oh." Star said now feeling a little more hurt than surprised. "I mean … I heard it's a great school … you should be excited."

"I am but … I'm not … I didn't mean …"

"Well we can still hang out." Star finished trying to comfort both of them. "We're friends and we'll still see each other around."

"But you were so worried about going into junior high and I said I would be there with you."

"Don't worry about me." She replied. "This is a big opportunity for you Sol, you shouldn't pass it up."

"I said that we would handle it together and … now we're not."

"I'll be fine." Star reiterated forcing a smile. "Not to mention we can still handle it together … we'll just be at different schools … sure it's won't be the same but what can you do?"

"I shouldn't be doing this, I said I would be there with you and now I can't."

"Why are you so worried about me?" She asked. "Sol, we're friends, heck, technically we're still enemies also so this should be great or both of us."

"But it's not!" Sol replied. "I'm leaving you hanging and I should be there with you."

"You should be thinking about your future Sol, so why are you thinking about me?"

"BECAUSE I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU!" Sol shouted as if with anger instead of love.

Both Star and Sol were in shock at Sol's outburst as Star grabbed the area of her shirt directly over where her heart was. "Sol." She said softly.

"You know that." Sol added. "Star you know that, you knew that when I gave you you're first strike. I've had a crush on you when I first met you but the more I got to know you, the more it became … more than just a simple crush. You occupy my every waking thought, it's actually a little scary for me. I just don't want to abandon you like this because … I really love you."

Star looked in his eye with a leer that seemed as if she was about to kill him. "Of all the things … you've ever done … that has got to be the most hurtful thing you've ever done to me."

Sol looked at her confused as she got to her feet and made her way to the door. "Wait!" He shouted as she threw open the door.

She paused to look back at him before walking over and standing right in front of him. "Stand." She demanded. Sol shot to his feet feeling more than a little worried about what was about to happen. "Sol?"

"Yeah?"

She drew her hand back and slapped him across the face so hard that he almost fell over. "Look, I'm a big girl now and I can handle myself, so I don't need you looking after me."

"I didn't mean it like that." He replied. "I mean I gave you my word and all and now I-"

She slapped him again only softer yet still cutting him off. "I know what you meant and I'm not done. After a speech like that, you should be more motivated to go."

"What?" Sol asked still nursing his cheek.

"This is your future Sol, and if mean what you just said, it's my future as well. You know I'm not helpless and I'm not dependent on you in the slightest, so don't you dare think that not going to this school in any way is going to help us." She placed a finger on his chest and smiled. "And what's more, if you chose not to go to this school because of me, then I will break up with you."

"But … when did we start-"

Star placed her hands underneath Sol's arms and lifted him off the ground demonstrating her incredible strength once again. "Star?" Sol asked nervously.

Star carried him to the foot of his bed before tossing him onto it causing him to gasp in pain as he tried to get up. "Arg, Star why did you-" Before he could finish, Star pushed him back down and looked at him flirtatiously from the side of the bed.

"I'll be honest, didn't expect this to happen until high school, I actually wasn't even planning on doing this till high school but, I guess seeing as you may not be in the same school as me till high school, I can do it now."

"Do what exactly?" Sol asked nervously.

Star plopped herself on top of him and smiled at him. "Making you my boyfriend of course."

Sol looked at her in shock before she pressed her lips to his causing him to tense up once again. The kiss was warm and tender like before but unlike the quick pecks they shared, this was much deeper and much more passionate, in fact, even as Sol eased into it, his hands were still trembling as they tried to find their way to her waist. They eventually separated leaving Sol's entire body still tingling. "That was strike three by the way."

"Oh." Sol replied. "I … I …"

"This means you're no longer my mortal enemy … but, are you willing to fill up the other vacant position?"

"Other … vacant position?"

"My boyfriend of course." She repeated. "You have to agree, otherwise this is going to be very awkward for-"

"I would like to be your boyfriend." Sol interrupted. "I mean … yeah, I'll totally be your boyfriend."

"Good." She leaned in closer and began whispering into his ear. "Remember, if you don't go to that school because of me, then I will break up with you."

"I remember." Sol replied.

"Good." She ran her fingers through his hair and smiled. "Because I really don't want to break up with you so soon after getting together … or ever for that matter, but that won't happen."

"Yeah, I don't want to break up with you ever either."

"Then I guess we'll end up being together forever." She said as she grabbed his shoulders.

"You know the doors open." Sol reminded her.

"Well your parents would freak if they opened the door to find your girlfriend making out with you, now wouldn't they?"
