Deadshoot12345: Coming right up! After this one!

Star and Marco were walking through the school hall, they were trying to get to the cafeteria before it was completely engulfed in students. Star burst through the doors of the room, a bright smile on her face... But no one smiled back.

Everyone looked over at Star and gave her hateful glares, even Ferguson and Alfonso were scowling from across the room. Star didn't notice the angry looks and continued to get a tray of lunch, Marco walked in and everyone sighed and turned back to their lunch.

Marco noticed the looks this time, but just shrugged the off and went to sit next to Star at her table since he brought his own lunch. Star patted the seat next to her and gave him a sweet smile, Marco returned the smile and took his place next to her. The duo sat there eating their food for about four minutes before Jackie walked over to Marco and gave him a pat on the back,

"Hey Marco, me and the girls were talking and we thought you might like to sit with us today." She said, gesturing to Janna and Hope over at another table on the other side of the room, the other girl's waved and smiled. Marco thought for a moment and decided.

"Sorry Jackie, but I was just gonna hang with Star today, maybe another time." Jackie sighed and gave him a sad look, "Loyal to no end, huh? Your loss." Jackie patted Marco's back furrowed her eyebrows at Star.

Star just smiled and Jackie walked away, Marco scratched his head and turned back to his lunch, "Well that was weird..." Marco said, looking over his shoulder and noticing the angry glares from his peers... But they weren't at him...

Star looked over at him with an eyebrow raised and a sandwich in her mouth, "Wha dof fyou meam?" she asked, trying to speak around the food in her mouth, Marco just laughed and decided as best not to worry about it.

Suddenly a mound of mashed potatoes flew across the room and struck Star in the side of the head. Star got knocked off her seat from the sudden impact. Everyone in the room burst into laughter except Marco, who was immediately at her side. Marco scrapped the potato off her face and scanned the room, trying to find the thrower of the delicious lunch food. Star sat up and grabbed Marco's arm before he could do anything rash, Marco looked back down at her and softened his gaze.

The rest of the day was uneventful, except for a few balls of paper and some insults at Star, and there were a lot of them. While Star and Marco were walking home, Marco thought it was finally time to talk about what happened.

"Star... What exactly happened back at school?" he asked, Star just turned to him in confusion,

"You know... With the food... And the random insults?"

"Oh! Pfft, it was probably nothing." Marco was surprised at her positivity, but then again that's why he loved having her around.

That, and her bubbly attitude, her long blonde hair that seemed to glow in the light, her sky blue eyes that anyone could get lost in, and her magical personality... I think the reader would know by now that Marco had a pretty big crush on Star.

"Hey! Shut up!" Marco shouted into the sky, Star stopped walking and questioned him.

"Uhh... Marco... What are you doing?" Marco looked back down at Star,

"Wait, you didn't hear that voice in the sky?"

Star just shook her head and giggled, "Marco, sometimes I wonder if you have a firm grasp of earth." And with that, she continued to walk ahead. Marco shook his head and continued walking as well, on the way however, a car drove past and Justin poked his head out of the backseat window.

"STAR BUTTERFLY STINKS!" he yelled, he reached into his car and threw a bunch of eggs at Star. A couple of the eggs hit Star's dress and face, Star slipped on one of the yolks and fell down on her butt. Marco was instantly helping her up and turned to Justin with an angry glare, Justin just shrugged and reeled his window back up.

"You see what I mean Star? People have been picking on you all day and it's really weird, even for them!" Marco exclaimed, he helped Star to her feet and she tried to scrape off the yolk,

"Well… I guess it's a little weird… but it should all be fine tomorrow!" then Star skipped away.

DRAMATIC TIMESHIFT TO THE NEXT DAY… (WITH MICHAEL BAY AIRHORNS GOING OFF IN THE BACKGROUND…)

Marco walked through the halls once again, except this time there was a small difference…

His best friend was not at his side, she left halfway through math because she had to use the bathroom but she never came back. Marco looked for her left and right, trying to find even the slightest trace of his magical companion. Eventually he tried to ask some of his fellow class-mates where she was, but they only changed the subject and tried to stray him away from his task.

Marco was really confused as to why everyone was acting so strange, but then he heard some soft crying from behind a dumpster and went to go check it out. As he walked around the corner and his eyes widened in shock as Star sat in the crevice between the dumpster and the wall. Stars arms were scratched and bloody and her face was bruised and had some kind of jelly on it, her legs were curled up to her chest and she laid her head over her crossed arms and sobbed quietly into them.

"Star?" Marco asked, his eyes clouded with worry and confusion, he knelt down and gave a look over her wounds, "What's going on? Who did this to you?"

Star looked up at him, a shiner beaming over her red and puffy eyes, "Oh… hey Marco… I was Just hanging around… trying enjoy the day, but uh… when I went to the bathroom… a bunch of students surrounded me and they…" She didn't manage to finish the sentence as more tears escaped her eyes and she went back to crying into her folded arms.

Marco leaned down next to her and cupped her chin with his hand, "Hey… chin up. It's always a downer to see the cheeriest girl in the multiverse crying like this…" His comment got Star to smile a little, then he reached out and grabbed her hand.

"Star… even if the world comes tumbling down and were all sent down death row… I'll be here for you… You know that right?" Stars sad smile gave him all the confirmation he needed.

Star pulled Marco into an embrace and let her tears slide down onto his hoodie, but she didn't cry… instead…

She closed her eyes and smiled, resting her head against his chest. Marco returned her embrace and stroked her long hair whispering wise words…

"Hard times… Will always reveal true friends…"
