"No! The stage would be better on this half of the gym. If it's on this half, you won't get that awful draft." I argued, crossing my arms over my chest. Tomorrow was already the final day of homecoming. I already had everything planned, as usual. Jack and I would ride together in the annual parade and have the first dance at the homecoming party.

"Els, it won't fit over here. This is the only place." Ariel replied. She tossed her red beach curls over her shoulder. Ariel was a friend, but she wasn't in my clique. I groaned and rubbed my temples. Couldn't people just listen to me for once?

"Listen to me, Ariel. I've had this planned for the past two months! I know it'll fit. Just trust me." I grumbled. God, she was annoying me right now. Ariel rose her hands in surrender and walked back to the homecoming committee, telling them to move the stage.

I fumbled with my crown on my head. Jack and I have to wear this every day this week. At first, I thought it was cute, but now I hate it. It gets tangled up in my hair and never stays up. "Hey, Elsa! Come here!"

I turned around, seeing Jack. I headed towards him, my heels clicking on the gym floor. This was the one time our principal would let anything touch his gym floor besides basketball shoes. "What's up?" I asked.

"Not much, I was wondering how everything was going. Ya know, just checkin' things out." He explained, slipping his hands into his pockets. Typical boys. I let out a sigh and blew my baby strands out of my face.

"It's going good, I guess. Things aren't exactly like I pictured them, but it'll turn out okay in the end."

"Good, good." He softly nodded, looking down at the ground. God, things got awkward fast. I glanced around the room, trying to find something to work on so I could escape this conversation.

"No practice tonight?" I asked.

"It was short. Coach doesn't want to drain our energy before the big game." Jack explained. I softly smiled. It made sense. Hopefully, Eugene could hang out again tonight.

"So, rumors about you and Rapunzel are spreading fast." I softly giggled, rubbing my right arm. I wasn't really sure what to say to him and that slipped. Jack opened his mouth, about to speak.

"What's cookin' good lookin'?" Eugene teased. I let out a little squeal and turned around to face my boyfriend. I giggled and ran towards his arms. He had his backpack slung over his left shoulder, a smirk playing on his lips.

"Hi!" I cheered, giving him a huge hug.

"Sup, Jack. Hanging out with Blondie tonight?" Eugene questioned. He wrapped his arm around my waist, bringing me closer. Jack's eyes widened, thinking about what to say.

"Um, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Uh, me and Punzel are going to make sure everything is ready to go for tomorrow." He stuttered, rubbing the back of his neck. He walked back towards the exit.

"Nice. See ya around, Jack," Eugene waved as Jack headed out of the gym. "Such a cool guy." He added when the doors shut.

"Yeah, I guess if you like stuttering, nervous wrecks then yeah, he's cool," I replied as we walked towards the committee.

"Well I like you, don't I?" He teased. I gasped and pushed his chest as he laughed. He was always being mean to me.

"Not nice, Eugene," I playfully frowned. He rolled his eyes and sent me his godawful smolder. He thinks it's attractive, but I... I think it's just flat out stupid. "Stop it." I giggled.

"'Stop it.'" He mocked, making me laugh harder. God, he always knew how to bring a smile to my face.

"Punzel, we need to talk. Now!" I quickly shouted into the phone.

"Why, Jackson? What's wrong? Are you okay?" She rambled, her voice ringing in my ears. Maybe I shouldn't have started my call like that.

"I'm okay, I'm okay. I just need to talk about tomorrow." I replied, hopping into my truck. I heard her let out a sigh of relief then bring the phone back to her mouth.

"God, Jackson. You scared the crap out of me. Of course, we can talk about tomorrow. Just head over. I'll just have to tell my dad you're coming." She answered. We hung up as I headed towards her house. Rapunzel's father has always been strict on her.

I pulled into her driveway, parking behind her car since I knew she wouldn't be leaving anytime soon. I knocked on her front door, waiting for her mother to answer the door. "Jackson." A deep voice spoke.

"Hi, Fred." I grinned, looking up at him. He let out a soft chuckle and let me in. He always acts tough around me, but it's only because Rapunzel and I are close friends.

"Rapunzel is upstairs in her room." He replied as he headed into the kitchen. I thanked him then took the stairs two at a time. I pounded on her door the entered. She was sitting on her bed, texting away.

"Punzel, I've got some news. Some good, some bad." I started, shutting the door behind me. I took a seat beside her, kind of nervous to have to tell her this. This wasn't good. She would freak out.

"Bad news first." She answered, furrowing her dark eyebrows. She crossed her legs, facing towards me. She tossed her phone across her bed, not caring that it bounced against the wall.

"Okay, well, um. There are rumors going around that you and I, uh... That we uh..." I fumbled, rubbing my the back of my neck. God, this was harder then I thought it would be.

"Jackson, just tell me." She snapped. Rapunzel didn't like others thinking bad about her. Of course, she would want to know this.

"Okay, well, according to Hicc, there's news going around that we had sex." I softly whispered, hoping she didn't hear me. Her jaw dropped as she pulled on her hair. Crap, she heard me.

"Oh. My. God. No, no, no!" She cried, yanking on her hair. Quickly, she stood up and paced around the room. Maybe I shouldn't have told her this. Now she would just stress about this all day tomorrow.

"Hey, hey, hey. I still have good news." I called as she blabbered about never getting respect again and losing all of her friends. Hey, I was right here! And I wasn't that bad, okay?

"Please, what kind of goods news could top this bad news?" She scoffed.

"You and Eugene are going to be spending a ton of time together tomorrow. Elsa and I have pictures and meetings, and we have to ride together, plus we have to dance with each other at the huge homecoming dance. You have time to get him to like you!" I exclaimed, tossing my arms into the air.

A smile grew on her face then slowly drooped. If I would have told her this before she would have been bouncing off the walls. Then her dad would have come up here and yelled at us. "Wouldn't Eugene have heard the rumor though? He would just think I'm a slut."

"Please, like Eugene and Elsa haven't done it," I scoffed. She bit her nails, looking at me. "Plus, if he asks, you can just tell him it's a rumor. It's not like rumors don't spread about him, Rapunzel."

"Okay. I guess that's true. And you're sure that I have a chance to get him to like me?" She questioned, pointing her finger at me. I nodded my head enthusiastically.

"Rap, you have plenty of time to get him to like you." I grinned, making her squeal. I was tempted to squeal with her. I would get pictures with Elsa, I would get to sit by Elsa, and I get the first dance with her. Now it was time for me to make my move.
