Chapter 37: Pretend
*drama ahead*
Silence.
It was silent.
It only had snow.
It terrified him.
He was worried.
"Star? Star?! STAR?! HELLO?" He talked to the mirror like the panicky person he is.
"STAR? YOU STILL THERE? STAR!" The 14- yr. old shouted.
And out of nowhere a portal opened.
{ S t a r ' s P O V }
I tumbled out of the portal and landed on my face. Standing up, I tried to close the portal ASAP.
Ugh it's so hard when you have a demon ex-boyfriend, pining after you.
"STAR!" I heard a person yell at me.
And suddenly, I was enveloped by a pair of arms, wrapped in soft fabric.
"U-uhm.. Marco..?"
"You were gone for too long.. let me hug you"
"O-okay.."
We stayed like that for a couple of seconds.
"Kids dinner's rea- awww... HONEY! I THINK OUR SHIP IS SAILING!!" I heard Mrs. Diaz shout. I immediately pushed Marco away.
Marco looked confused for a second, and after a short time of processing, his face was beet red. He quickly stood up and rushed downstairs.
"Did I say anything wrong?" Angie asked.
"No no! I don't think you did! I think he's just really hungry! H-how about let's go eat dinner" I led her downstairs.
"Is there something you're hiding from us? Star, you know we don't mind if you have any issues, you could always talk to us, we're here fo-"
"T-there's nothing wrong! Absolutely fine! Oh look! Dinner! Yay!" I exclaimed. I made her sit down next to Mr. Diaz.
I sat down next to Marco. Who was already eating, um.. rude much?
"O-okay???" She said confused.
We all started to eat.
"Papi, could you please pass the salt?" I asked.
Oh yeah, uhm I kinda started calling Mr. Diaz 'Papi' because he was like my second father. He's my Earth Dad. And NO, this isn't some kind of kink... dirty minded readers.
And right after I said those words.
After those 7 words..
Marco and Mr. Diaz took the salt.
"Well... this is awkward" I heard Angie said.
I looked at Marco.
I looked at Mr. Diaz.
I looked at Mrs. Diaz.
And I looked at the salt shaker.
Oh boy.
O O O
"Do you mind explaining yourselves?"
I was sweating bullets.
Okay, nothing happened between us, okay? I don't know what came onto Marco! Why did he even do that!?
"U-uh I-it's really funny- uhm.. it's uh.. it started when we uh.. w-when we-"
"OMG MARCO I THOUGHT YOU WERE BETTER THAN THIS! SON, DON'T TELL ME YOU FRICKLE FRACKLED!"
"M-Mom w-we-"
"AND AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE!"
"W-we did-"
"AND THE PRINCESS OF MEWNI NOT THE LEAST!"
"Ma, S-"
"SORRY?! NO! NOT THIS TIME MARCO"
"MA!"
"WHAT?!"
"Ma, we didn't do anything! I just didn't hear her say 'Papi'.. I-I was just trying to help out a friend" he looked nervous.
"O-oh.. don't do anything crazy, okay? You two aren't even dating yet.." Mr. Diaz said.
"Right?"
"A-actually we're-"
"Y-yup! Totally not dating! Just two friends! True true friends!" Marco spoke.
"B-but-"
"Can you excuse us for a bit" my 'boyfriend' said as he dragged me to his room.
He shut the door immediately.
"Uhm.. WHAT???" I asked him.
"What do you mean what? My parents can't know about us! If they found out that we're dating because of my stupid dare, they'll think I'm a bad person" he explained.
"Um.. MAJOR WHAT!? Marco, are you ashamed of me?! If you knew this was going to happen, why did you dare me in the first place?! So all this time we were just acting? Because of one "stupid" dare?!" I was pissed.
"T-that's okay we could just forget about all of it-"
"Forget about it?! Marco, I don't understand you! Did this one month of pretending meant nothing to you?! Was there even a time you liked me?! Here I was thinking that someone actually liked me in a different way, but no! You're just like Tom! You always play with my feelings!" My eyes were on the verge of spilling hot tears.
"S-star-"
"I'm tired of pretending! Maybe we should- no We should split up. Consider this dare over!" I marched out of his room.
I made my way to my own place of serenity; my room. I locked the door shut.
I crawled up into a ball and cried in the confort of my "home".
The cold gust of air filled my room, along with my soft and muffled cries.
It's been a long time since I felt like this.
I hate feeling like garbage.
"Princess, what's wrong?" I heard glossaryk talk.
I sniffed.
"O-oh hey glossy.. I-I'm fine, I just don't know why I am crying???" I tried to make up an excuse.
"I always knew what was going on between you and Marco, I'm sorry. Did you have a fight?" He asked.
"Oh no, I'm just tearing up because of nothing" I spoke in sarcasm.
"No need to get all sarcastic on me.. what happened?" He floated closer to me.
"We 'broke up' I guess.." I tried to fix my hair. "-it hurts Glossaryk.. it hurts so much" I cried more.
Glossaryk handed me a mirror.
"Princess, your hearts.. they're breaking-"
"It's fine... don't mind it. It doesn't do much damage.." my sobbing continued.
Let's just say, I cried myself to sleep that night.
¤¤¤Next day¤¤¤
{ N a r r a t o r ' s P O V }
None of them spoke the next day.
It's crazy to think that they were just happy and then it went downhill.
The author should really stop escalating things too quickly.
But anyways, today was different.
"Omg, you overrated little Britt!" Maria snickered as she gossiped with Brittney.
"It's like totally true, I just heard about it last night. This news is so fresh" Brittney said.
"Jenna, we have got to spread the word" Chloe spoke.
"Omg I know right Chlo-"
"Omg shut up Heather!"
"Sorry Brooke" Heather Dutchess apologized.
"Omg there they are-"
"Look!-"
"Where?-"
"Right there!"
"12 o'clock!
"Omg it is them"
Everyone's talking about a rumor.. question is.. who's it about?
***
A/N
Kind of a short chapter. Messily written. Musical refs. And more.
So um, I'm just saying but the discord group isn't noticed??? My co-author really put effort in that. Joining is appreciated, but I'm not forcing you. Okay? Okay.
Oh and uhm, I'm thinking about making a new fic, it's a drabble/one-shot book. It'll be about Boyf riends and Tree Bros, and I am looking for a person to make me a cover for the book. It has to have this aesthetic in it.
But anyways, take it easy readers.
See ya on the next one!
