Eugene
I strutted down the halls waving to my friends and winking at girls. I was a major heartthrob among the girls and I was proud of it. I could get any girl I wanted, anytime I wanted. But I had Elsa, which was just fine with me. She was understanding, sweet, and well, hot. "Eugene!" Jack greeted me at my locker. I nodded my head and began unlocking my locker.

"Sup, Jack?" I asked. He leaned against the locker beside me, trying to look at my face.

"Not much." He smiled. I looked and saw the little blonde close to him. Man, there was something about her. She wasn't your typical high school girl. She wasn't drop-dead gorgeous, but she wasn't ugly either. She seemed shy, but outgoing at the same time. She was like opposites mixed into one person.

"Hey, Blondie." I smiled. Red was brought to her cheeks as she looked at the ground.

"Hey." She sweetly smiled. Something about it made my heart stop. As I was about to say something when someone wrapped their arms around my neck.

"Eugene!" Elsa greeted as she planted a kiss on my cheek. I zoned back in and gave her one back. "Hi, Jack. Hi, Punz." Elsa smiled, wrapping her arms around my waist, giving them her cheesiest smile.

"Hey." They muttered back. They looked between us, obviously sensing that Elsa was in her protective mode. She stood strangely closer to me than usual. I couldn't understand why she would be worried about these two. They were dating and I couldn't see myself leaving her.

"So, I was about to ask you guys if you want to catch a movie on Saturday." Jack softly smiled as he placed his hands in his pockets. Rapunzel held her books closer to her and bit her lip. Jack was looking at Elsa, making me jealous. I knew she wouldn't go for Jack, but I couldn't risk the chance of him thinking she was free, so I pulled her tight to me.

I looked at Elsa and shrugged my shoulders, asking her if she wanted to. She nodded her head back happily. "Why not?" I chuckled.

"Great! See you Saturday!" Rapunzel quickly exclaimed. We turned and looked at her, surprised by her outburst. Blush was immediately brought to her cheeks. She was embarrassed.

"Yeah." Elsa frowned. Rapunzel and Jack turned around and heard towards their class, leaving me and Elsa confused. They were the strangest people I've ever met.

I brought my attention back to Elsa, who was watching them walk off into the distance. They playfully pushed each other back and forth laughing. "What's bothering you?" I blurted. Elsa didn't look as happy as she should be. It was a Friday.

"Nothing," She quickly replied. She tensed up, telling that she was lying. I sighed and sent her a glare. She let out a deep breath and shook her hair. "It's just that I feel different around them." She confessed.

"Me, too," I replied as I shut my locker. She looked at me confused, arching her eyebrow.

"Huh?"

"I don't know. I feel the need to act tough around Jack." I answered as we walked down the halls. Her heels were clicking as she passed the freshman hallway. They all let us pass, afraid we might "ruin" their reputation if they got in our way.

Elsa nodded her head, understanding. Just as she was about to speak, I heard the most annoying voice known to mankind. "Elsa!" She squealed as she ran towards us. Her blonde bob was freely flowing behind her.

"Cindy." Elsa smiled. Ugh. I couldn't stand her. How Elsa puts up with her every day surprises me. Cindy thinks she can get whatever she wants, whenever she wants. She knows she the prettiest girl in the school. She thinks every guy wants her. The only guy who wants her is Charming, and he didn't want her for her personality.

"Hey, Eugene," She giggled sending me a small wave. I ignored it, as usual. "So, Elsa, tonight for the game, I was thinking we could meet at my house for a quick snack," Cindy explained. I stuffed my hands into my pockets, waiting for their boring small talk to end.

"Of course, Cindy! I'll meet you there." Elsa smiled. Finally, they better be done now. I took a step, hoping Elsa would catch my hint, but as usual, she didn't. I sighed and rolled my eyes. She was like a mother at the grocery store.

"So did you hear about Belle? Apparently she's been hanging out with Adam a lot. Too much for comfort." Cindy gossiped. Ugh, why did it really matter? Can't they talk about this later? I took out my phone and texted Naveen. He's one of the guys I'm closest to in the school. Eventually, Elsa let us leave.

"Eugene," She started as we walked down the halls. I hummed in reply, telling her I was listening. "What do you think about Belle?" She asked. I furrowed my eyebrows, thinking about the brunette. She was actually pretty hot, but she was a crazy book fanatic, which was a major turnoff in my opinion.

I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know, she isn't terrible, but she isn't the greatest either. Why?" I replied. Elsa quickly shook her head.

"It's nothing. Adam and her might have a thing so just be prepared to see her more often." Elsa explained. I nodded my head as the bell rang. We kissed goodbye than headed to our first class. Art. Just great.

Rapunzel
"Jack, I think they're on to us." I lightly sang into his ear as we walked down the hallway. Elsa kept eyeing me like I was going to take the last cookie. I personally did not like being targeted by the Queen Bee. She could literally ruin your high school career, not that mine was exactly something to be proud of.

"Rap, quit your worrying. Everything is going fine." Jack assured. I huffed, still thinking they were suspicious. I was never a great actor. Jack and I didn't act or look like a couple. We didn't hold kiss, hug each other, or hell, even hold hands! People had to be suspecting something.

I quickly slipped my hand into his. He sent me a glare and wiggled it away. I groaned and ran my hand through my hair. I stopped and looked at him. "If you want this to look real, we have to act real." I spat. He groaned, running his hand through his. Hmm, that's where I got that from.

"Fine!" He agreed. He grabbed my hand and led us down the hall. His hand was cold, sending shivers up my arm. I don't know why he was acting so touchy. It couldn't have been anything I've said, right?

After walking the halls in a killing silence, I decided to bring up a very important question. "So, how are we planning on breaking them up?" I asked as I swung our hands. He frowned and bit his lower lip. "Seriously? You don't have a plan yet!" I exclaimed.

"I'm getting there, Rap! These things just come to me naturally," Jack defended. I groaned, showing that he was starting to stress me out. His face twitched, debating between ideas. My eyes wandered up and down his pale face. His icy blue eyes suddenly sparked up. "I've got it!" He exclaimed just as the bell rang.

"Tell me after this period," I commanded as I walked towards my art class. Jack nodded his head and walked down the hall towards his English class. I skipped into my art class, ready to start the day off right. I sat down in a red chair closest to the art supplies.

"Psst! Blondie!" Someone whispered. I quickly whipped my head to the side to see Eugene. What was he doing in my art class?

"Hey?" I greeted. He playfully frowned and nudged my shoulder.

"Surprised to see me, huh?" He smiled. I slowly melted on the inside as I nodded my head. This seemed like one of those crazy dreams. You have no idea what's happening, but you just go along with it.

Eventually, we were assigned to work in groups. Of course, the teacher being lazy, she picked people seated near each other. "Eugene, Jasmine, Tiana, and Rapunzel!" She cheered as she pointed to the four of us. I silently groaned, annoyed with my group. Jasmine was one of the lapdogs. Eugene was going to bug me, which for some reason, I secretly enjoyed. Tiana, she was a close friend, I could deal with her.

"What are we doing first?" Tiana asked as she pulled out her notebook. She was on top of things. Getting assignments done on time was one of her habits.

"We could plan what we're going to make." I offered as I shrugged my shoulders. Tiana nodded her head, agreeing with my suggestion. Eugene stared off into the distance as Jasmine picked at her long nails.

"Blue! Something blue!" Jasmine quickly spoke up as she leaned in close. The smell of lilacs filled my nose. She liked to cover herself in perfume.

"First we should plan it, then decide the color." I softly chuckled, trying to make the situation playfully. She frowned then nudged Eugene.

"Eugene wants it blue, too," Jasmine spoke up. Eugene zoned back in from his daydreaming. He cleared his throat and looked around at us confused.

"What did I agree to?" He questioned. Tiana let out a scoff and leaned back in her chair.

"See! He agrees!" Jasmine cheered. "Two to one!" She exclaimed as she pointed at me. I thought she would stick out her tongue and act like a six-year-old.

"Oh, so I'm not a person now," Tiana replied, crossing her arms across her chest. Eugene groaned and ran his hand through his hair. The two kept arguing, completely missing the whole point of this project.

"Guys-" I started.

"I'm not saying that. You just don't have an opinion." Jasmine fired back. Oh great. She definitely should not have said that...especially to Tiana.

"Um, I think that-"

"Is it because of my color? Because you don't see me judging you because of your color." Tiana sassed back. She was one of the only African Americans in our school. Most people when they told she couldn't do anything was because of her color. Sure, it was racist, but that's the way jerky teens were. They just liked to get in her nerves.

"That's not-"

"Ladies! Ladies! This isn't that big of a deal." Eugene chuckled, stopping the fight. They both stopped and looked at him like killers. One wrong word and he would be dead right there. It was dealing with a ticking bomb.

"Excuse me?" Jasmine scoffed. I'm guessing she believed that he would automatically be on her side because of their clique and Elsa.

"Let's just do what Blondie says. She obviously the only in this group with artistic talent, and I know for a fact that I have to get a good grade on this to pass. So just keep your personal opinions aside until she asks. Mkay?" Eugene commanded. The two girls looked at each other and silently agreed.

"Okay, what do we have to do?" Tiana softly replied, looking back at me.
