Marco p.o.v.

I just stared as Tom walked away. If I didn't know any better I'd say he was sulking.

"Come on Marco we have to go. We didn't crunch on our homework just to be late!" She grabbed my arm and dragged me with her, but all I could do was stare at Tom's back.

"Did I do something wrong?" Star stops in front of our door and sighs.

"No. It's just Tom. He gets moody from time to time. He'll cool off by the next time we see him." And she shoves me into the class room.

"Are you sure? He seemed really upset."

"Marco. I've known him for years. He just needs space to cool off his head. Woke up on the wrong side of the pillow or what ever the saying is." She smiles and I chuckle at her trying to cheer me up.

"Alright. Fine. I'll stop worrying for now." I sat down and the bell rings beginning class.

After school is over I make my way to meet up with Tom and Star follows behind.

"Seriously Marco! Everything's fine. You have nothing to worry about!" And we see Tom with a bag slung over his shoulder, I lift my arm to wave hi but he just rips open a portal and walks through.

"Explain that then! He didn't even look at us!" I start to walk home and she follows behind.

"I don't know okay? I thought it was just a moody thing cuz we didn't do anything! All that happened was.....oh..." I heard her stop walking behind me so I turn around and she's standing there with wide eyes. "Marco. We need to go see Tom."

"Well yea that's where I'm goin-"

"No like right now. He's not just moody. He's seriously pissed. We need to go. Now." She grabs my hand and she opens a portal with her scissors and drags me in.

~ Earlier with Tom ~

I sat in class and Jackie came walking in talking to the girl who stole Marco's wallet. She also begins with a J. What's up with Marco and having friends who's names begin with j? It's too complicated.

They sit down in their seats a few seats away from me. The one in the hat waves and smirks in a way that makes me really uncomfortable. Jackie turns and sees me, then waves too. I just nod. I will play nice to try and figure out what's so special about her.

I'm not jealous.

I just want to learn what his type is.

"So Tom right? How long have you been friends with Marco?" Beanie sits down backwards in the chair in front of me to face me. Jackie turns around in her seat too, to look in my direction.

"Oh. Well... two days?" That sounds so pathetic. To have fallen for Marco in less than two days.

"Well I've been friends with Marco for years so if you want anything in return for teaching me how to summon demons and ghosts, I got everything." I look at her confused then she pulls out five wallets. "I got everything". I look in shock as she opens them to show old ID's of Marco's. He was adorable.

"Well, I don't need anything. Also, you make it seem like it's hard to summon demons or spirits. I literally just have a bell that opens a portal to my house..." I realized I should not have said that as her smirk grows.

"And does Marco have such a bell?" Is she teasing me or does she want to steal it?

"I guess. Although I He doesn't really use it much now." I lied because I don't know what to do right now. Jackie is just smiling. I look her, hopefully with confusion, asking for help.

"Come on Janna. Cut the guy some slack." She laughs and looks back to me. "Hey, maybe some time do you wanna hang out? You can invite Marco too."

"Yea I'm gonna say no. Don't know you. Like at all." I lean back in my seat and Janna looks at me confused.

"You've only been friends with Marco for two days and you basically gave him the keys to your house. How is a gong with us worse?" Beanie folds her arms and looks at me like she just challenged me to a duel.

"Well I've known Marco for a while. Just only been friends for officially two days." I cross my arms and try to keep calm. This one is testing my patience.

"Huh. Well Marco and I have known each other since we were litt-"

"Then invite him yourself!" I storm out of the room. I know that's not right but I was going to blow. Do they seriously have to rub it in my face that they know Marco better? That they've known him longer? I get it. Even in my own dimension I'm just some freaky monster.

I find a bathroom and hide in there all day. I don't want to deal with anyone.

I know I'm half monster and so everyone just associates me with being a monster. I think I'm still entitled to friendship. Why should it matter that I haven't known Marco as long?! I ended up punching the door of the stall off it's hinges when the final bell of the day rang. I stormed out of the bathroom and to the front gate to leave.

I couldn't go home any sooner or else my parents would throw a fit. I just need to go home and cool down. I open the portal and walk through.

I just want Marco to like me. Is it so bad to want him? The blood moon decided we should be, so why is it so bad I want us to be?

Next stage, find out what Marco likes.
