Rapunzel
I walked up to the high school, my stomach starting to form butterflies. I had no idea what to expect from today. I hoped that this rumor was only heard by a fraction of the school.
I shook my head, trying to clear away those thoughts. Today was going to go well, no, perfect. I was going to spend plenty of time with my crush. If everything goes right, he'll find out that he's perfect for me and ditch Elsa and she can find out that's she's meant for Jack and everything will all work out. Only, I know it won't be that easy.
I took a deep breath and entered the school. As usual, everyone ignored me. That was a good sign. I peaceful walked to my locker as everyone brushed past me, trying to get a look at something in the lunchroom.
I rolled my green eyes and organized my locker for the day. Seniors didn't have to go to class, it was our senior privilege, which was just fine with me. "Hey, Punzel."
I turned around, looking into his blue eyes. "Hey, Jack!" I exclaimed as I pulled him into a hug. "Aren't you supposed to be with Elsa taking pictures?" I quickly asked, holding onto his shoulders.
"It's alright, Punzel," he smiled, brushing my hands off of him. "Elsa and I are taking pictures at nine." He explained as he fixed his shirt. I nodded my head, pleased with his maturity. Usually, I have to be the one to make sure he's on time.
"Good." I grinned, folding my hands against my chest. He cocked his eyebrow and waved his hand in front of my face.
"Ummm, Rap. You okay?" He slightly chuckled. I nodded my head, knowing I probably looked stupid right now. I could feel my eyes getting starry since I was so proud of him.
"I'm better than ever." I awed. He slightly scoffed and rolled his blue eyes. He shoved his hands into his pockets and led me towards the lunchroom. According to him, it was going to be the best meal the school would offer us all year.
"Would all class royalties please report to the lobby? Thank you." The secretary stated over the intercom. Jack and I groaned and quickly turned around. So much for the best meal at school.
We entered the lobby, seeing Elsa and all of her friends and their boyfriends. Wow, Jack and I really were the odd ones out, well, I was the odd one out. Jack was the best football player this damn school has seen in decades. "I'm so excited!" Elsa squealed as she jumped into a circle with her friends.
"Why don't you join 'em, Rap?" Jack whispered into my ear. I rolled my eyes and shoved him away, making him laugh. Sometimes, he was more of a pain than helpful.
I opened my mouth and raised my finger, about to fire an insult back at him. "Sup, Jack." Eugene greeted walking towards. I quickly plastered a smile on my face and slapped my arms to my side.
"Eh, not much," Jack replied. God, how could Jack sound so casual? I was so nervous just standing by Eugene and he wasn't even talking to me. My hands began to shake, my nerves building up.
"How ya doin', Blondie?" Eugene nodded at me. I felt my face heat up as his brown eyes looked at me. My lips started to tremble as I thought about what to say to him. Come on, sound normal! Just say hi!
"I'm do-doing great." I stuttered. He smiled as I pinched my eyes shut. God. I'm so stupid. I'm such an idiot. I can't even speak three words to him without sounding like a fool.
I opened my eyes, seeing them all look at me. Oh god, what did I miss now? "What?" I asked, hoping I didn't sound like an idiot, oh wait, I already did that. Oh god, what if I spoke my thoughts.
"I asked if you were nervous. Now I can tell that you're freaking out." Eugene grinned, cocking his eyebrow.
"Oh god, you have no idea." I fired back, not thinning about my response. As soon as it tumbled out, I placed my hands over my mouth and darted my eyes to Jack then back at Eugene. Eugene chuckled his million-dollar smile on his face.
"Well, at least-"
"Students!" Mrs. Nelson shouted as she clapped her hands, cutting off Eugene. "Now, I want all of you to get into your dresses or whatever now. We're taking pictures an hour earlier." She snapped.
Most of us groaned. Taking this picture would take years. Elsa and all of her friends would spend years just putting on mascara, let alone the rest of their makeup. I swear, if cosmetics was a subject, all of them would have 110%.
All of us girls, including the underclassmen, headed to the bathroom. Elsa and her friends called of the mirrors, beside one. Now I was stuck with the younger girls at a mirror. Hooray.
Quickly, I wiggled myself into my purple dress. I pulled the top over my boobs, trying to hide it all. I wasn't really comfortable with having it all hang out. I had enough judgment today. "Umm, Rapunzel, could you help zip my dress?" A little voice asked.
I turned around, spotting the little freshman. God, she was probably freaking out. This was her first year in high school and now she was representing her whole class. That had to be nerve-wracking. "Of course, Penny." I smiled.
Effortlessly, I pulled the zipper up on her beautiful red dress. All four of us crowded around the last mirror. It was sort of annoying, but I got to know the rest of the girls, which was really nice. "So, wait. You and Jack are a thing, right?" Violet asked. She was the representative of the junior class.
"Ya, I guess," I mumbled as I quickly tapped blush against my cheeks.
"You guess?" Alice smirked as she placed her hands on her hips, looking at me. Alice was the sophomore representative, even though she was shorter than Penny. She had her blonde hair gently pulled back as she stood in a gorgeous blue dress.
"Well, I don't know. It's kind of weird to think about. Jack and I have been friends since forever. The idea of us dating is kind of strange." I quickly explained as all of their eyes stared at me.
"Wow." Violet awed as she turned around and wiped some lipstick on her lips. The other girls rapidly blinked their eyes at me as I quickly snatched up my makeup. Well, I just turned this into an awkward conversation.
I headed towards the door but was immediately stopped by Jasmine and Aurora. They crossed their arms across their chest as they clicked their tongues and shook their heads. "That won't do." They stated. What?
They pulled me to the side, dragging me close to Elsa. "Elsa, what should we do to amplify her look?" Jasmine asked as she pointed to me. I frowned, and hugged my stomach, thinking that they must think I was ugly or something.
Elsa turned around and tapped her finger on her chin. "Hmm, well I would pull that dress down," She started. Immediately, they tugged down my top, showing off my cleavage. Elsa smiled and nodded her head. "I'm not sure why you don't that off more often. You already look a lot hotter, I mean, you've always looked pretty, but this just makes you look more attractive."
"Very true, Elsa. She has a nice rack," Aurora smiled as I felt my cheeks heat up. "Oh, that was a compliment." She quickly added, seeing my pink cheeks.
"Yeah, now you're lookin' smokin' hot! Jackson's going to have a hard time keeping his hands off you tonight!" Jasmine exclaimed as she held onto my arm. I softly giggled, unsure how to respond to that. I wasn't worried about Jackson.
"Girls! We need you. Now!" Mrs. Nelson shouted into the bathroom. We groaned as she left just as fast as she entered.
"She's so bossy and annoying." Aurora scoffed as we left for the lobby, ready to take pictures.
Jackson
Pictures went surprisingly fast. Actually, this day has been flying by. It's already time for us to get ready for the parade. Elsa and I are riding together on the back of a truck. I'm super pumped. "After you." I smiled as I took her hand.
"Such a gentleman," She teased as she stepped onto the tailgate. There were two metal folding chairs waiting for us. Gracefully, we took our seats. Everyone rushed past us, trying to get ready for the ride. "So," Elsa started. "are you ready for the game?"
"Yeah," I shrugged. "I was born ready. I've been preparing for this since the beginning of the year." I explained, making her laugh.
"Really? I'm guessing you knew you were going to be king then?" She smiled, batting her blue eyes at me. God, she looked so hot right now!
"I had a hunch," I replied, tilting my head toward her, making her laugh again. Soon, the truck started and we heard towards the start of the parade. I felt my hands began to sweat as I thought about later tonight. I wasn't nervous about the game. I was nervous about the dance.
"Ooo! It's starting!" Elsa exclaimed as we began the parade. Immediately, she started waving at the crowds, getting cheers from everyone. I softly chuckled and began waving too. This was a little strange since I wasn't very popular.
"This is so weird." I softly mumbled.
"Ya, but you get used to it after a while." She softly replied, looking at the crowd. I felt myself beginning to blush. She wasn't supposed to hear that. Now I probably look like a loser.
"Hey, Jack!" Peter shouted as he stood on the street with the rest of his class. Everyone in the town participates in the parade. All of the students get out of class just to receive candy from local businesses.
"Hey!" I waved back. He began following our car, talking with me as he walked away from his class.
"Do you got any candy? 'Cause if ya do, you should really throw me some!" He smiled, showing off his missing tooth. I chuckled and shook my head. Elsa tapped my shoulder and pointed down.
"There's some if you want." She explained. I grabbed a handful and threw it at Peter. He cried out in excitement as he watched the candy rain over him. He dove to the ground, picking up every piece he found.
"Thanks!" He shouted as other children began to crowd around him. I laughed as they all thanked me and tried to snatch a piece from each other.
"He was sweet. Who was he?" Elsa asked, smiling at me.
"That's Peter. He's Rapunzel's little brother." I explained.
"I didn't know she had a little brother."
Eugene
Rapunzel and I sat on the back of the truck, waving to our millions of fans. Okay, there weren't millions, but there was a lot. I glanced over at her, noticing her gentle wave at the crowd. For some reason, I just had to talk to her. "So, how's it feel to look at your adoring fans?"
"Oh, they're not my adoring fans. In all honesty, I doubt they're even here to see me." She quickly rambled as she looked at the ground. Hmm. That wasn't really the answer I was expecting.
"Well, I bet someone is here to see you. I mean, you have a family, right?" I smiled, watching her pink cheeks light up. Was she always this shy?
"Well, of course, I have a family," she mumbled, rubbing her little hand over her arm. "There's my mom, my dad, and my annoying little-"
"Hey, Rapunzel!" A little voice shouted. Immediately, she cupped her face into her hands.
"Oh no." She groaned. I raised my head, trying to look over the side. Who was that?
"Hey, Punzel!" A little boy shouted, waving his hands above his head as he jumped up and down on the sidewalk. She raised her head out of her hands as she softly waved back at him.
"Hi, Peter." She replied to him, her face tomato red. Who was this kid?
"Toss me some candy!" He demanded as he followed our truck. She scoffed and rolled her green eyes then she crossed her arms across her chest and glared at him.
"How would you even know if I have candy?" She fired back. The brunette followed her, his green eyes lighting up.
"'Cause Jack gave me some," he smirked, sticking out his tongue. Rapunzel scoffed again and shook her head. Geez, this kid must always get on her nerves.
"No."
The kid continued to follow and shrugged his shoulders. "Fine. Then I'll guess I'll just have to tell your 'boyfriend' about the time you threw up on Halloween night." He smirked, crossing his arms across his chest.
Her face began to darken as she looked at the ground. What was this kid talking about? "He's not my boyfriend and I didn't throw up on Halloween night." She growled back.
"What?" I asked, confused about this situation.
"Can this thing go any faster?" Rapunzel shouted. Immediately, they slammed on the brakes, sending her forward. I reached out, stopping her from falling.
"You okay?" I asked, helping her back into her seat. She smiled at me as her cheeks turned a light pink again.
"Never been better." She softly replied, blowing her blonde strands out of her face.
"Eww! Are you going to make out now?" The kid shouted. I peeked up over the truck, seeing the parade in a jam. We weren't going to leave for a while.
"No! We aren't dating, Peter!" She exclaimed, snapping her head to look at him. He giggled as he jumped around.
"Rapunzel and Eugene, sittin' in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love, second comes marriage, then comes the baby in the baby carriage! That's not all-"
"Stop! Would you please shut up you twerp ?" Rapunzel snapped, covering her ears. I bit my lips, trying not to laugh at them. I had no idea how she knew him, but this was hilarious.
"Then give me the candy." He demanded.
"Fine." She growled back through gritted teeth. She quickly snatched the bag off the ground and tossed the whole bag overboard. The kid dove to it, stealing all of it for himself.
"Thanks, Zel!" He cheered as he walked off.
"Who was that dork?" I laughed, watching him skip away with glee.
She groaned and rolled her eyes. "That stupid dork is my little brother. Eugene, meet Peter. That is the kid who scares the devil."
