Chapter 1: Same morning, different worlds

*beep**beep**beep*

I turned off the alarm clock and leisurely got out of bed. I hate Mondays. I hate week days in general. I slowly walked to the bathroom as my eyes tried to get used to the sunlight beaming threw the windows in the hallway. Daylight savings time was yesterday, so now instead of it being dark due to the sun not being up, it's now bright as hell.

When I get into the bathroom, I close the curtains and start the shower. While the shower runs I put toothpaste on my toothbrush and start to undress. When I'm done I get in the shower, don't worry I'm not gonna describe my showering process. I take my time in there being as I don't want to go to school. Besides the fact that school is boring as hell, I'm an outcast.

Eversince I was in kindergarten, I've always been somewhat of an introvert, someone who wants to be alone. I never went to parties, I never went to pep rallies and I never went to school dances or after school activities, which some of the kids picked up on. Soon people started calling me weird and a freak, all because I want to be alone.

It didn't help that I'm also known as the "safe" kid at school, which pretty much ruins my chances with every girl at school, but to be honest, I only have eyes for one girl at school, and that's Jackie Lynn Thomas. I was head over heels in love with her, she was the only person I wouldn't mind spending time with, and the whole "safe kid" thing isn't gonna help her fall for me anytime soon. I try not to think about it though, and let's face it, I don't have a chance with Jackie.

I turned the shower off, rap a towel around me, and head to my room. I decided to wear my "I kissed a ninja" shit today at school. Sure it's pretty nerdy, but I wear it with pride, even though I wear my signature red hoodie over it. I don't even bother brushing my hair, seeing as I don't really care about my appearance. Most people take hours to do their hair, but I just straighten it out and that's good enough for me. I'm not much of a looker anyway.

I decided not to eat breakfast today and walk to school instead of taking the bus. I enjoyed the peace and quiet of the beautiful day, I don't understand how people would want to drive on a day like this. As I was walking, the school bus drove past me. I heard someone yell, "LOSER!", and in a matter of seconds, I felt a hard object collide with my face, taking me down. I heard laughing as the school bus passed. I groaned as I got to my feet, and I realized that the object thrown at me was a baseball.

I wasn't really mad or anything, it was something I come to expect.

(third person POV in the Butterfly palace)

"Miss Butterfly, are you awake?, a servant asked from outside her door. It was silent for a minute until he heard, "WELL I AM NOW!" The servant cowered in fear even though she was on the other side of the door.

"I…I apologize your highness. P…please forgive me", he said nervously. It was silent again until he heard a sigh, "it's fine. Come on in Willam I'm not mad".

The servant slowly opened entered the room and saw that the princess was standing up and looking in her mirror. She saw his reflection in the mirror and turned to face her servant, "what did you need?", she asked grumpily.

The servant kept his distance from her and said, "y-your parents asked me to come and get you. They want to meet you in the dining room for a very important announcement.", he explained. The princess sighed and then chuckled, "Probably to lecture me about being a proper princess again. Okay William wait outside so I can change." "Yes Miss Butterfly", the servant said as he walked out the room.

Once he was gone, the princess took off her shirt and bra to let her…unaturals breathe. She looked at her grandfather clock and saw that it was 6:30 am. "What on earth could my parents want this early in the morning?", she said to herself.

She looked through her huge closet, that was miles long, to find her favorite dress. She finally found it all the way in the back of the closet. "Why the heck do I keep putting this back?", she asked herself. She put on the dress, which was her favorite shade of blue, and brushed her hair. While most princesses spend hours doing their hair, this princess only needed to do 5 strokes and her hair was perfect.

After that she put a little bit of makeup on her cheeks. It was all she really needed. She then grabbed her practice wand, that her mother gave her so she could practice her magic, and just like that she was ready for the day.

She walked out the door and William began to lead her to the dining room. "You know you don't have to walk me there William, I know my way to my own dining room.", the princess said grumpily.

"I know ma'am, but I…" "If your going to talk to me, could you please address me by name.", the princess interrupted him.

"I'm very sorry Star, but anyway, your parents wanted me to escort you to the dining room so you don't get distracted. You know how easily you get distracted right?", he said.

Star rolled her eyes, "My parents don't give me enough credit. I can take care of myself", she said getting frustrated.

"Well…you did set the royal palace on fire about five times.", said William.

"It was only four! And how am I supposed to know that lighting a match in a room full of gas would result in the palace blowing up?"

"Well, it's common science…", William started to say, but stopped when he saw the look Star was giving him.

"Sorry Star", he said. Star sighed, "it's not your fault, I just wish that my parents would let that go and start to take me seriously. I'm not a kid anymore and I think I'm ready to have a real wand. Not this piece of crap that only lets me do 5 fucking spells!", Star said getting really mad.

"If it means anything, I think you've really matured since the last time you burned down the palace", William said with a smile.

Star chuckled, "thanks William that means a lot". Once they reached the dining room, William opened the door for her and Star saw her parents Queen and King butterfly.

She rolled her eyes and got ready to hear another boring lecture. What she didn't know, was that this was gonna be far from an ordinary lecture.

Authors note: No this is not the sequel to "to end all Drama" (I'm working on it). Sorry the first chapter is a little short but this is basically to get a feel of Star and Marco's personalities and lives in this story. Next chapter, things will start to get interesting. Please review!
