Princess Outrageous: Hey so here is the second book! Anyway, I added a new character and she has nothing to do with the rest of the story. But she's a parallel version of a girl you might know ;) Anyway, I only added her to give you the idea of how off and angry Jack was. So without further ado, to the story!
Chapter 1
(Jack's POV)
Today is my first official day of American high school. Pray I'll survive and that nobody recognizes me.
The girls went ahead of Hiccup and I. They said they had business to do, which is fine with me because I never wanted to be with Rapunzel anyway. All she ever does was judge people. And I'm still so mad at her for judging me.
"Hey man," Hiccup spoke beside me as I drove down the silent grey road, "You ok?"
I sighed, "I'm fine. I just need time to deal with this."
Hiccup nodded. He doesn't know what exactly happened, but he is very understanding. He knows when I need my space, and when I need a friend. Guess that's why he's my best friend.
We arrived in school and we both got out of my Dodger. Our first class was science.
Oh no. That means we'll be in the same class as the girls.
I sighed, pulled up my hoodie, and slowly walked to the classroom. The hallways were empty; they were all in their classes. We finally found the door and entered.
The moment we entered, I could feel all eyes point our way. All the girls immediately started whispering and giggling. All except The Girls. Rapunzel and Merida sat in the front row so I chose an empty seat at the very back of the class. Hiccup sat at the desk right beside Merida's.
I took out my books and slumped in my seat. A blonde girl sat in front of me. She turned around in her seat and eyed me from head to toe. She was beautiful, in a nerdy way. Her cute glasses perched on her nose and her grey eyes searched me. She had a Cinderella nose; the upturned kind and she had a few freckles sprinkled across her nose.
"You look familiar," she whispered. "Have we met?"
"Nope," I immediately said while I fingered my staff in my pocket (did you know my Source (the staff) could shrink so it could fit in my pocket?). I hope she doesn't recognize me. I would hate to bring my body guards to school again.
"I'm Annabeth," she smiled and extended her hand.
I ignored her and started doodling on my notebook. She looked hurt and guilt started building up inside me, but I knew I couldn't tell her my name. Maybe she'll figure out I'm a rising star in Europe.
For the rest of the class I kept my head covered with my hoodie and Annabeth never turned around since. From what I could tell though, only she and Rapunzel could answer all the questions correctly. I scoffed. Nerds.
Meanwhile I sat at the back, barely paying attention; absorbed in my own thoughts.
What did Corwin's mom really mean? What queen? What bees?
"Mr. Frost," the teacher called my name. My head snapped up.
"Yes?" I replied. Everyone was staring at me.
The teacher sighed, "I asked you: in the formula CH4 + O2 interact to make H2O +CO2, which are the reactants?"
Hah. This is a review from seventh grade.
With my mind still on the bees/queen mystery, I answered, "CH4 + O2."
"That is correct," the teacher replied and went back to her chalkboard. Just as she was about to write some more, the bell rang and we all gathered our things. I gathered mine quickly and bolted out the door, not wanting to walk beside the girls and Hiccup at this moment. My next class was Math and I quickly strode there. Just one class at a time, Jack.
As I was walking there, Rapunzel walked beside me. I ignored her, of course.
"Jack," she panted, for my long legs were faster than hers and she tried to keep up. "We need to talk."
"No we don't," I said and turned away.
She stepped in front of me, forcing me to stop.
She forcefully grabbed the front of my shirt, then, seeing nobody around, shoved me at the nearest bathroom.
Then she pushed me inside a stall and locked the door behind her. The tiny space made our bodies press together without meaning to. I took a sharp inhale of breath, surprised and liking it. She didn't notice and she grabbed the front of my shirt again, pressing her face so close to mine I could see the gold flecks of her green eyes.
"Listen to me, Jack," she said and her warm breath washed over my face.
Minty.
"It was all a big misunderstanding, I know that now," she continued. "And I know I was wrong to say those things about you, but you were wrong too."
"What do you mean I was-"
"SHUSH," she put a delicate finger against my lips. "You need to learn to listen. I didn't know the whole story, and you should've been more understanding."
When I frowned, she said, "What I'm trying to say is, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for hurting you like that and making you cry like a baby."
"I don't cry like a baby," I said, man my heart was beating so loud!
She rolled her eyes. "Whatever," she said. "So will you forgive me?"
With her slim body pressed against me like that, I couldn't exactly focus to what she was saying. My brain was all jumbled up with her scent invading my senses.
"Uh, Jack?" she questioned, a perfect brow arched. "Are you okay? You look really red."
"Oh, um, yeah sure," I stuttered. "I'll give you a second chance."
Her face brightened and I quickly added, "On one condition. You're buying my snacks for two months."
"Oh I'll give you something better than snacks," she said in a playful way. Rapunzel pressed closer till our noses were touching and her lips brushed against mine.
"And you're gonna love it."
(Rapunzel's POV)
I was so sad the whole day, thinking about Jack. But now he forgave me and I'm the happiest girl in the world. When we came out the bathroom stall, he was burning red (I have no idea why) and we were late for our classes.
He had asked me what it was and when I replied, "Cupcakes", he sputtered and said, "You expect me to like cupcakes?" and when I nodded, he commented, "I've always hated cupcakes, but fine. Let me see you give it your best shot."
I beamed and using my Source, subconsciously opened the door and dumped him out.
"Ouch," he muttered while rubbing his head, causing his white hair to be even messier.
Messier equals cuter.
"So we're still friends?" I said hopefully. I've never lost one and I'm not starting now.
"Sure," he seemed distracted as he rushed to his class.
The rest of the day rolled by quickly and before long we were on our way back to Jack's home (by the way, our parents learned about the trouble we got into and agreed that the Frosts' home was the safest place for us to stay in). Since Merida and I were on the class at the end of the day, we walked out together. As we chatted, Merida suddenly stopped and pointed.
"That's Annabeth," she whispered and I looked.
"Uh, yeah," I said, my brows knit together. "So?"
"See that boy she's talking to?"
"Yeah?" I looked over the boy. He was tall, had dark hair, and the skateboarding type.
"That's Percy Jackson," Merida finished.
I laughed, "Isn't he a character in a book?"
"Yep," Merida said. "Parallel world, remember? My Mom's parallel version is the evil queen here, Astrid."
My eyes widened. "Woah. Until now I never really took this seriously. This whole thing is real!"
"Yep," Merida said, letting the "p" pop.
We kept watching them until Percy suddenly grabbed Annabeth's shoulders and kissed her.
"That's our cue to leave," I said and Merida giggled. We both got in her car and we drove away.
We rode through town until we found the road to Jack's house. Merida liked to drive faster on this road, since rarely any cars came by here. It was getting darker and we were listening to a song.
THUD.
A dark, furry, bloody figure fell on our wind shield and we screamed.
Tires screeched.
We screamed on.
And as the car spun, I caught a small glimpse of a red shirt zooming past. Was it a vampire?
Then we hit a tree and I fell into darkness.
