It was time for another day of school. Star and Marco got ready and headed outside.
"So, Marco. I didn't get to ask you. How was your date with Jackie?" Star asked
"It was amazing! We're... Makin' moves..." Marco blushed lightly
"Wow! That's great! So, no hand holding or arm hugging anymore?" Star asked sadly
"Maybe not in public, no... sorry Star..."
"So... I can hold your hand at home?" Star asked hopefully
"I dunno... I mean... I don't wanna make Jackie think I'm not dedicated to being with her..."
"Well I have and hugging a bestie isn't that bad in my books... so surely hand holding isn't that bad" Star said smugly.
"Well, you're the professional, I suppose..." Marco shrugged
They both arrived at school and went to their classes
...
Finally, the bell rang, marking the start of lunch. Star and Marco walked out of the classroom and waited by the lockers for Jackie and Janna as per usual.
"Okay, Star... I'll be right back..." Marco said
"Why?" Star asked
"I had cooking today! I made us some cookies!"
"Sounds amazing, Marco!" Star waved.
Marco went to grab his cookies as Star opened her locker.
"Well well well..." a familiar voice boomed.
Star turned around slowly. It was...
Brittany?
"Uh, hey Brittany..."
"Looks like you're still Ugly, Star. Even more now you're... purple? HAH!!!" Brittany scoffed.
Oof. That one stung Star hard.
"W-What did I do to you again, sorry?" Star said, her voice cracking
"You ruined my birthday AND my bus! And you're always trying to outclass me with your weird magic!"
Star looked down at at her wand shamefully.
...
Sniff!
"Star is gonna love these cookies. Don't ya think so, Jackie?" Marco asked as he put the cookies in a small bag.
"I'm sure she'll love them, Marco" Jackie laughed
Janna pulled out her cookies from the oven and they looked completely burned.
"Uh guys... I don't think I did this right..." she said nervously.
Jackie and Marco cringed at the sight.
"If only Star did cooking. She'd be good at cooking with her 6 arms..." said Jackie
"Oh, yeah! She'd do better than Janna that's for sure!" Marco giggled
The three laughed and left the cooking room...
But suddenly, they saw a crowd gathering the hallway...
"What's... happening...?" Marco asked, clearly distressed.
"C'mon..." Janna prompted.
They all pushed through the crowd, and saw Star at the centre of attention, looking very embarrassed and emotional. Oh no.
"I don't even know why you came back here, you bug eyed FREAK!" Brittany spat.
Star's lip wobbled. She let tears fall down her face. She then took off using her wings, causing Marco to call out to her. This wasn't good! Star's self esteem was as fragile as a house of cards... Marco's mind went to places that scared him. What if Star did something to herself!? Oh no... now he was overthinking and was hyperventilating.
