Star Pov
As I wake up with my body all over Marco I get up and hear Marco groan "How do you sleep like this.." I chuckled and snuggle into his chest "I'm a bad sleeper. Sorry" as he was going to kiss me the door opened "Mom! Comet took my phone tell him to give it back!"

"I only have it because she took my gift!" Me and Marco smirked "Is this gift for Vanessa?" Marco said as he stood up and walked towards him "No! Why would you think that.." he said blushing "Oh a girl..When do I meet her?"

He shakes his head "Never because she doesn't know I exist "Estella came back with a small bag and gave it to him "Here, I was trying to make it better, good luck" he smiled and hugged her and I roll my eyes "Well I'm going to get ready for work, bye kids have fun with your mother"

he kissed both their heads and kissed me and left and I got ready myself "Mom, can we go shopping..I need a new dress because girls at school have these brand new dress that's in season" "Ella? Why do you care what other kids have? Be yourself don't listen or even care what others think"

"Yeah little sis, if anything I'll beat then up" "Nice try comet, but their GIRLS not boys" he pushed her gently and we got to the car "Well when you get out of school maybe I'll buy you something but only if your dad approves" she groan and comet laughs

"Well say bye Estella cause dads gonna say 'Absolutely not I will not have my 10 year old daughter wearing that kind of clothing around' tough luck" I giggled at comets expression of Marco "Mom" "I'm sorry but comets right, your father will say something like that, even if I tried convincing him" she began to pout "This is so unfair, I'm his little girl"

"Daddy's little girl isn't gonna get what she wants" Estella started pushing and shoving in the back and I yelled "Hey enough! Stop fighting both of you!" They stopped and we arrived at the school "Bye comet, good luck with that Vanessa girl" he blushed "Mom.." as I was about to speak a girl looked at him and smiled "Hey Comet" he blushed and waved at her

"Hey..Vanessa" she giggled and entered the school and me and Estella started laughing "Bye honey love you" I blew kisses and he just put his hood up and entered the school and I went to drop of Estella off at her school "Okay miss thang, what are you going to do when the girls ask you what you wear?"

"Don't listen or even care what they say because I'm perfectly fine with what I wear" I nod "Good, well bye honey love you" she kissed my cheek "Bye mom love you too" she got out and walked inside and I drove off..

Comets Pov
I couldn't believe mom and Ella embarrassed me in front of my crush! Sometimes I better ride my bike instead of getting dropped off "Sup nerd...if your looking for princess she's at her locker" I chuckled and pushed Jane "Hey, and I know she said hi to me and my mom embarrassed me..kill me"

she laughs and opens her bag and pulls out a gift "Here...I made you a gift..don't open it now" I smirked and look at her red face "Why are you blushing? Going soft on me now?" She punched me shoulder and groans "No! I'm going to cool off" she stormed off and I rubbed my arm; I took a deep breath and walked towards her, why was this so hard?

"Hey comet, what's up?" She was beautiful, her eyes shining from the light of the hallway and her scent of lavender "Hey...I got you a gift..for your birthday" she smiles and takes the small gift "Aw you didn't need to buy me anything.." I blushed and scratched the back of my neck "Yeah..but I wanted to" she nods and opens it

"Wow a charm I love it..thank you comet" she wrapped her arms around me and my heart stopped at how close she was to me, I blushed so hard that I could burst at any time "No..problem I gotta go" I walked away and tried to relax..I gotta thank Ella when I get home, she did make it better..
