OMG, a chapter update after forever!
Sorry about the wait, like I said in my other story, the past month has been extremely busy! It's kind of ridiculous.
Please enjoy the chapter. I hope you guys like it! =)
Chapter 4
Throughout the last week, Star was constantly thinking about the strange encounter she had with the white haired boy.
But the more she thought about it the more frustrated she became about the whole situation. She still had no idea how the octopus was able to float, why both the boy and the octopus were so cold, what aura was coming off of the boy and how he had left so quickly! The list went on and on as she thought about it.
Star also decided to not tell anyone about the encounter. She contemplated telling her mother but what could she say? 'Hey Mom, guess what happened to me today. I got attacked by some monster and some mysterious boy with white hair saved me.' Yeah, that wasn't going to happen.
And the boy managed to do something that nothing else could do. It made her stop thinking about her crush, Danny Fenton and started to become obsessed with the white-haired boy.
'Was he an alien? He looked to human to be an alien and yet there was something powerful about him or was he from another dimension?' Star thought in fascination.
Ridiculous theories kept coming up as Star thought about the boy.
It was like she was in auto-pilot. She may have been there in attendance, but she her attention wasn't on her life; it was on the mysterious boy that saved her.
If someone asked her what they learned in class, she didn't have the slightest clue. If asked about what was happening recently with her family, she didn't know. It was lucky that Star was talented at cheerleading because she would've injured herself if she wasn't.
But the auto-pilot stopped on Monday after cheer practice as her coach told her something that made her completely forget about the neon green eyed boy.
Star walked through the school halls striding with huge confidence and positively beaming as she caught lots of people's attention with good looks and infectious enthusiasm.
She had just found out that she had gotten the part to be the head cheerleader at the pep rally.
This went that all eyes would be on her as she tried to lead the spirit of Casper High for the upcoming season for the school football team.
This was going to be a huge popularity boost for Star and it made her absolutely giddy in excitement for the next week's rally.
'Life is great. No, better than great! It's amazing!' Star thought happily.
Her mind was finally relieved of thinking about the unusual encounter. The future seemed pretty bright at the moment.
'If I rock at the rally, who knows how popular I'll be!' Star thought with enthusiasm.
It was lunch and Star got her lunch and sat beside Paulina at their usual table.
Star started to bite into the school burger. She frowned at the unnatural flavour of the beef patty. But she just shook her head trying not to think about such little problems with the cafeteria's food. Even with the vegetarian menu coming in next week.
As Star was eating her food she looked across at Paulina who looked as though she was deep in thought. Star thought that it was strange; Paulina usually was very care free and didn't need to think much.
"Hey Paulina" Star said to get Paulina's attention.
Paulina's eyes lost its distant look as she looked over at her.
"You OK?" Star said out of worry.
Paulina gave her Star a strange look, it was almost a glare but yet it wasn't threatening enough to be one. Yet, it still gave Star the chills.
"Oh I'm fine Star. Just thinking about today's Math test." Paulina said.
Star was sceptical of Paulina's claim but let it pass.
"Oh OK. You just looked really depressed or something..." Star tried to explain.
"You're such a worry wart Star" Paulina said with a laugh.
Star frowned at the laugh, but just ignored it.
"You excited for the pep rally on Friday" Star said happily.
Paulina's happy face suddenly bent back into a strange and out of place frown.
'Paulina loves cheerleading, why would she frown about one of the biggest events for the cheerleaders?' Star mused.
"Yeah, I can't wait." Paulina said in mock enthusiasm.
"Yeah me too! Especially when I get to go centre stage!" Star said proudly.
Paulina just crossed her arms and shrugged her shoulders like a disgruntled toddler as she stared out at Star.
Star looked at Paulina again very puzzled when a couple of the girls also on the cheer team sat beside them and talked about the rally.
Star turned her attention towards them talking avidly as she gossiped about the event. If Star turned her head ever so slightly she would have noticed Paulina staring daggers into the back of her head.
Sorry that it's short, but next chapter will be very important and probably longer than the other chapters.
Also a reminder to cast your vote on the poll on my profile. I will be taking it down at the end of the March.
And as always review what you think is going to happen at the rally? Did anyone see my small hints at the timeline of the Danny Phantom universe? Hint: It's something Star thinks of for next week's lunches.
Until next time,
Prophet =P
