Star pov

After our talk Marco kept his word and we started seeing each other but we had to keep it low key. So we wear sunglasses and masks so no one would know its us. It was a bit annoying but it's a life of a celebrity. As I placed my hoodie and mask on I head out to meet marco at one of our spots. I was always excited to see him. As I kept walking I bumped into someone and I apologized as I looked up it was Kai. "Star? Why are you disguised?" I blushed under my mask as I chuckled nervously. "Oh! I'm just going to my quiet place and don't want paparazzi around." He tilts his head. "You've been avoiding me and Tom for awhile now. Is it cause we spoke badly of Marco?" He looked guilty and I was surprised. Then again he did say he likes me as well. "No. No of course not. I just like my space. That's all." I pulled my masked down and smiled at him. "Don't worry about it alright. It has nothing to do with you or Tom. I'll see you at set." I pulled up my masked and walked away quickly.

I finally made it to our spot as I see marco finish setting up. "Hey." He kissed my cheek as I smiled. "Hey sorry I'm late." He shook his head. "Its fine. I was a bit late too." Hmm wonder why? "Why?" I said quickly as he eyed me. "Uh I ran into my costar from the movie I was shooting. She was asking me about the show and asking me how I've been." I nod as he crossed his arms. "What made you late?" I raised a brow at him. "Why do you need to know?" He scoffs. "Star how is that fair? I told you the truth. The least you can do is the same." I rolled my eyes. "I bumped into Kai. He asked me where I was going and I said my quiet place and I dipped." He nods as well. "Happy?" He shakes his head. "Didn't you want us to be a thing? You're acting so standoffish and a bit rude to me." I shake my head. "No I'm being me." He shakes his head. "No you ain't. What's going on with you?" I rolled my eyes. "Nothing is wrong." He didnt buy that. "Star? You can tell me you know." I sigh. "Its not important Marco. Just drop it." He sighs. "Fine. Let's get this meet up over with." I scoffed at that but none the less we continued our weird and awkward hangout.

After that we head to the studio. It was really quiet between us. I could feel the tension between us. Why is it I always cause the problem? No matter what I do or say I'm at fault. Marco just wanted to know if I'm alright and I'm blowing him off like an annoying fly. "Marco, star get ready we'll be filming an episode in a few." We both nodded as Marco went into his dressing room and I went onto mine. Ugh I hate awkward tension. As I was dressed full and make up I checked over my lines. Marco came out and did the same. I look over and see Tom and Kai laughing and joking around as they are in their outfits. HP was on the side too.

"Alright this scene is right after the party. Stella is running towards Marcus house to tell him the truth. Got it?" The director asked and we all nodded. She left as Marco came close. "Don't mess up." I looked at him with a slight glare. "I'm not. You don't mess up." He chuckles as he pinches my cheeks "relax I'm just playing. It's cute when you get mad."  I blushed as I pushed him away gently "Stop it Marco." We were giggling. At least it's not awkward now. "Alright let's get serious actor mode." I took a deep breath as Marco did as well.

'Marcus!' I yell as I get to his front door. I banged on the door 'Marcus! Open up!' I say waiting for him to open. My heart actually feels like I'm my character. The door opens and Marcus is standing there with wide eyes. 'Stella? What are you doing here?' I pulled him outside as he looked confused. 'Marcus..I love you.' *crowd ooos* 'You love me?' I nodded as I held his hand. 'I loved you from the moment we became best friends. At the time i thought it would go away but after seeing you get in a relationship with Nina i lost it. It broke my heart to see you happy with someone else. I thought i could move on but i can't. That kiss we shared at the concert meant something to me..' my heart was racing and it was weird. 'Stella..I like you but we can't be anything right now. Me and Nina broke up a little while ago.' I gasp and let his hand go. 'Marcus I'm so sorry. Its cause of me isn't it? I'm to blame?' He shook his head. 'I'm at fault. Listen stella I always liked you from the beginning. I thought I would be okay with you with bryan or even ryder but whenever I saw them with you..it made me mad. Nina noticed how I acted around you whenever I was with her. She knew I was still into you. She cried cause I broke her heart. She was with a guy who had another girl in his heart. So if you want just wait for me to move on from this.' I nodded as I lowered my head. 'Do you still want to see me as a friend for now?' He smiles. 'Yeah. I'll like that.' I nodded as I walked over and hugged him tightly. 'I love you marcus and that's never gonna change.' He chuckles as we pull away as we stare into each others eyes. 'Never?' I shook my head as he leaned and closed the space between us. We kissed again and my heart was jumping out my chest. I pulled away as I smiled. 'Why did you kiss me when you needed time?' He chuckles 'You are too tempting not to.' I laughed as he spun us around laughing. 'I better get going then. I'll see you at school.' He nods. 'Night Stella.' I waved. 'Night Marcus.'

"Cut!"

I smiled as we clapped without making one mistake. "You two did amazing! Next scene is Ryder and Venus and Bryan. Good job guys." I smiled and Marco comes and spins us again. We are laughing as he slowly puts me down. "See you didnt mess up. Also nice kiss." I blushed as I pushed him. I looked over at tom and Kai and they raised a brow. I pulled away. Marco noticed and moved back. "Sorry I haven't told them yet..." marco nods. "No I get it. I'll see you later." He walked off sounding a bit down as I held my arm. Ugh i hate hiding this.

'Hey! Ryder!' Kai looks up seeing HP 'yeah?' She sits beside him as she tilts her head. 'Where is my little cousin?' He sighs. 'She left. She went to Marcus.' HP was gonna get up but he pulled her down. 'Leave her. It's better for her to get over this. I don't want to interfere.' She sighs. 'Ryder, do you like Stella?' He chuckles. 'Of course. Why else would I let her go? If shes not happy with me I can't force her.' He looked so sad. 'You think you can move on?' He shrugs. 'I don't know. Stella was really kind and sweet and understanding. I felt like I could trust her with all my secrets. She was cute and childish but in a adorable kind of way.' Hp Pat's his shoulder. 'Oh Ryder. You got it bad. Did you tell her how you feel for her?' He shakes his head. 'Not exactly. I told her she doesn't deserve a guy who won't treat her well. I guess some of my feelings dripped through.' Hp smiles. 'This reminds me of the time when we were a thing. Remember?' He chuckles as he looks at her. 'You used to say I was super cool and really fun to be around. Why did you like me dude?' He shrugs 'I guess I have thing for girls who are understanding. Venus why did you stay with me after our break up?' She looks at him and sighs. 'Maybe someday you'll fall back in love with me. That's a lot of wishful thinking no?' He chuckles. 'You know bryan has a thing for you.' She laughs. 'Please bryan is head over heels for my cousin. She tends to feel in the bad boys.' 'So like you?' They laugh as bryan comes out. 'Venus? Where is Stella?' She stood up 'She's gone. Went to see Marcus.' He nods. 'Well whatever. Hey wanna get more drinks?' He asked her with a smile. 'You're asking me?' He nods. 'Yeah. Let's go.' He takes her hand as they leave as venus was blushing. Ryder chuckles as he starts to leave. 'One day stella. I promise.'

"Cut!"

After we finished shooting I was going to meet up with Marco but I got stopped by Tom and Kai. "Where you going now?" I pout as I gave a slight glare. "None of your business." As I tried to move Kai blocked me. "Star are you still upset with us? If you are we're sorry." I shook my head as I sigh. I noticed Marco leaving with his hoodie up and I was gonna miss him. "I'm not upset with either of you. Can you just let me go." I pushed through as I felt someone pull me back. I looked at Tom as he held an annoyed look. "You're going out with marco aren't you?" I gasp a bit as I pulled my arm back. "Why do you care? Even if I am why does that even concern you?" Okay star that was a bit rude. "Fine. Do whatever you want. Just know when this gets out its gonna cause chaos. Let's go Kai." Tom walked away as Kai had a sad look. "I guess I'll always be someones last choice. Later Star." He walked away as I felt weird about that. I knew Kai likes me but he knew I had feelings for Marco. Ugh I'm so confused! I just want to go home.
