"And Oskar was so nice to buy me a soda at lunch today. I was like oh my gosh you are soooooo awesome!" Star went on about her day as Marco followed close behind. They were on their way to band. Star and Marco had made a New Years resolution to learn an instrument and both decided to join band.

Star turned to see Marco looking down and followed his gaze. He was staring at her butt. "MARCO DIAZ WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING LOOKING AT MY BOOTY? ARE YOU JEALOUS OF IT? HOW ABOUT WE DO SOME SQUATS RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW? WOULD THAT SATISFY YOUR BOOTY CRAVINGS?" Marco just stood there, his face turning an unhealthy red color. "Star please, we're in the middle of the hallway. Everyone is watching..." He pointed behind his back.

Star just ignored him and set her clarinet case on the floor. Then she proceded to do a squat, and then another, and then a third. "Whoo! Marco this is fun! You should join me!" Star said in the middle of her fourth squat. Marco, still red, gripped his saxophone case tightly and sprinted for the band room.

As soon as he was gone everyone burst out laughing. Star collapsed on the floor trying to catch her breath from a huge laugh attack. As soon as the laugh attack arrived, it was replaced with a feeling of guilt and sympathy. She didn't mean to hurt Marco's feelings.

That afternoon, as they were walking home, Star apologized. "Look, Marco, I kind of overreacted earlier. It really wasn't that big of a deal. I'm really sorry I hurt your feelings. I-" "It's ok, Star. I deserved that. I don't know what came over me. Wait! Yes I do. Star I-I" Marco interrupted.

Then Star stopped and turned to look Marco in the eyes. Gripping his shoulders she said, "I am sorry I overreacted. I messed up, not you. But tell me Marco. Why? Why did you choose to stare at my booty?" Marco gulped then answered, "Because I-I love you Star. I really do." Star leaned in closer to Marco, their lips inches apart then exchanged a short, sweet kiss.
