Hi! ^_^ This is my first Disney fanfiction. Ever. xD It's about all of the Disney characters, even though it's slightly more centered around Aladdin. I actually didn't know that there is so many Disney High fanfics. I thought the majority of them were unfinished and/or really old. But I see a lot now that I'm actually looking. :P So, I know that there's a lot of these, but I know they're all different in more ways than one. :)

So, I hope you enjoy this chapter! ^_^

Chapter One: Keeping Secrets

"Well, this is it."

Looking at Peter, Aladdin nodded.

The two of them stared up at the sight before them.

Disney High School was a nice school. You didn't have to be extra smart or extra talented to get in - it was basically a normal school. Except for the fact that it looked more like a castle than anything.

It was huge - with plenty of classrooms and a large cafeteria. Everything about the school looked like royalty, even though most people tried to ignore that fact.

Just because something looked like royalty, didn't mean it truly was. Aladdin had come to learn that.

This was his second year there and Peter's third. Their junior year.

Aladdin, personally, liked the school a lot. It was giving him another chance - another chance to do something good with his life. He needed that chance. But whether he needed it for him or for his future, he had no clue.

Either way, he was kind of dreading the school. Even though he liked it a lot, he knew that even a handful of bad grades could ruin his chance of doing something good for once.

Peter, on the other hand, thought school was "a waste of time where you learn about stuff you'll never use." He'd always said he'd rather be out having fun than stuck in the so-called "torture chamber."

Aladdin took a deep breath and started toward the entrance.

Peter rolled his eyes. "You worry too much. This year will be no different than the last one."

Aladdin sighed. "I hope you're right."

The moment they stepped through the doorway, they were greeted by a sea of voices and a crowded hallway.

"Is it just me, or is there more people every year?" asked Aladdin, like he'd know.

"It's just you." Peter walked confidently through the corridor. Maybe Al just wasn't used to the crowds yet.

The dark headed boy followed his closest friend around all the people. They stopped at Peter's locker.

Once he opened it, Peter turned to look at Aladdin. "Like it?"

Inside the locker, almost everything was painted green, except the back wall, which was painted black, with bright stars everywhere. The two brightest stars, in the middle, stood out the most. The star to the right was slightly brighter than the other.

It looked a lot like Peter's room.

Aladdin's eyes widened. "When did you do that? And how?"

"I left the house last night to come here." He grinned, a mischievous glint in his brown eyes. "Brought a couple paint cans with me. I was gone before anyone even thought about coming to school this morning."

Aladdin laughed, bumping knuckles with his friend. "Nice way to start off the school year!"

"Hi!" came a voice from behind them. "Cool locker, Peter!"

They turned around. It was Tinkerbell, a short, blond cheerleader. She was always super nice to them, even though she was a bit more popular than they were.

She could, however, be as cold hearted as she wanted to when there were other girls around Peter.

Everyone in school had figured out, by now, that she had a huge crush on him. She'd had one for as long as she could remember. But he didn't seem to be very interested in her, much to her dismay.

"Hey, Tink," he greeted with a smile. "What's up?"

She shrugged. "Just looking for Fawn." She turned to the other boy. "Hey, Aladdin."

"Hey, Tinkerbell." He smiled.

"Well, I better get going," she said, smiling widely when she turned to Peter.

He smiled back as she walked away.

Aladdin raised his eyebrows at his best friend and smirked. "It's obvious she likes you."

Peter rolled his eyes. "I guess," he replied. Then, he added with a grin, "But who can blame her?"

Aladdin shook his head, turning his attention to Ariel and Belle as they walked up. "Bojour," Belle greeted with a kind smile.

"Hey, guys," Aladdin responded.

"We're girls." Ariel giggled, her blue eyes shining.

"And we're aware of that," Peter chimed in.

Belle rolled her eyes. She turned to him. "So, Peter, since the study group studied at my house last year, I was thinking we could all study at your house this time." She had always been one for enjoying schoolwork and organizing her study groups. She preferred working with others to working alone.

When Peter's face only went pale, she quickly added, "If you want, it could only be for two times a week, for four weeks. That's only eight times a month!"

Peter's face went a bit paler as his mouth opened, then closed.

Aladdin and Ariel exchanged a knowing look.

Coming to his friend's rescue, Aladdin threw an arm around Peter's shoulders. "Which days of the week?" he asked Belle, causing Peter's eyes to go wide.

Belle looked from Aladdin to Peter and back again, her eyes narrowed. "Wednesdays and Fridays," she said slowly.

Aladdin managed to look disappointed. "Aw. What a shame. Peter spends every Wednesday and Friday helping raise money for those less fortunate." He paused, wiping a nonexisitent tear out of his eye. "You know, those kids will be so happy on Christmas morning."

Belle looked as though she would melt from the kindness and Ariel breathed out a sigh of relief. "That is so sweet of you, Peter!" the brunette exclaimed.

Peter nodded, the color slowly coming back to his face.

"So, what about Tuesdays and Thursdays?"

"Huh?" asked Peter and Aladdin in unison.

"Tuesdays and Thursdays," she repeated.

"Uh..." Peter trailed off.

"No!" Ariel jumped in.

All heads turned to her.

"Peter... um... helps me at the aquarium on Tuesdays," she announced.

Peter nodded quickly.

"And he spends Thursdays with his grandmother," Aladdin added, not missing a beat.

"What about weekends?" Belle questioned, skeptical. "Surely-"

"Hello, Belle!" said Wendy Darling as she walked by. "Ready for English class?"

Belle nodded, not wanting to be late. She turned back to Peter and Aladdin. "I'll see you guys at lunch." She then headed with Ariel down the hallway to catch up with Wendy. "Why were you guys acting so strange?" she asked.

Ariel hesitated. "Peter doesn't really like to talk about his home."

Aladdin raised his eyebrows at Peter. "We lied to Belle for you," he whispered as the two of them walked to history class.

Peter sighed. He definitely wouldn't apologize for that. "It's better than her finding out!" he said, a bit too loudly, earning them a few curious glances.

"Is everything all right?" asked Cinderella, a teacher, as she walked by.

The boys nodded.

She smiled sweetly and headed toward her classroom.

Aladdin turned back to Peter. "I know," he replied, his voice quiet so no one else would overhear. "But why is keeping this secret so important? Why does it matter?"

"You know why."

Peter was right. He did know why. He could remember the night very clearly. How could he possibly forget it?

The next chapter will be a lot longer. Trust me. I've written it. xD

Also, a lot of other characters will show up in the next chapter too. But if you think of someone you'd like to see in this story, just let me know. :D

I need to find the Treasure Planet movie. I've never seen it, but I know I want Jim in this story. ^_^

Anyway, thanks for reading! Review if you liked it, please! ^_^
