"I hear her dad owns some kind of Oil Company," Aurora informs the group about the new girl that just walked past the table. "She also has a stepmom and two stepsisters. I think I passed by them today. They looked like such clowns." The other girls at the table all start laughing and Aurora smiles to herself. Being able to know information before everyone else has its perks.

"Wait, if her dad is so rich, why is she dressed so poorly?" Snow asks as she fixes the signature bow on the top of her head.

"Don't you get anything, Snow?" Meg asks. "Obviously her stepmother just wants her dad for the money and doesn't let the girl have any of it. Kind of sad if you ask me?" Aurora nods along, but secretly wishes she had thought to say that first. Meg had always been the smart one of their group, even though she ruins that reputation by sleeping around.

"Well, she looks pretty. We should invite her to join our group," Snow says with an enthusiastic smile, her head bobbing slightly. Aurora and Meg exchange glances. Aurora could tell Meg was threatened by the new girl and Aurora was a bit as well.

"Snow," Aurora begins, placing a hand on her friend's pale one. "I know your heart means well, but we can't just add someone to the group just like that. We need to see if she is good enough to hang out with us. I'm too busy planning the Rose Ball and Meg is too busy…" Aurora trails off, not knowing how to put what Meg does politely.

"I'll do it," Snow assures Aurora. "I'll be like her fairy godmother!" Before Aurora could make anymore skeptical comments, Snow was calling the new girl over. The girl suddenly looks like a deer caught in headlights, but she makes her way over nonetheless. Snow offers the seat next to her, the one across from Aurora. "Hi! I'm Snow and these are my friends, Aurora and Meg."

Now that she could get a good look at her, Aurora sees the potential. She has blonde hair much like Aurora's and bright, blue eyes. She was pretty and will probably work well in the group. "Hi, I'm Ella," the girl says sheepishly.

Before Snow can jump right into asking questions, someone calls her from across the room. "Hey, Snow!" All the girls turn to see the handsome, dark-haired Char waving at Snow. She blushes a deep shade of red before waving back.

"Who is that?" Ella asks, her voice still quite, but seeming to be growing confidence.

"Snow's boyfriend," Meg says with a smirk.

"He is not," Snow replies, but is blushing once again. She takes a bite of her apple and avoids eye contact with the girls for a few seconds before blurting out, "Isn't he so cute?"

Ella is the first one to respond, "Yeah, he is." Meg and Snow take it as Ella encouraging Snow's crush. But Aurora sees differently. She sees Ella stare a little longer than she should at Char. Aurora doesn't say anything, but she would be ignoring this. It would be the perfect test to see if Ella will fit into the group, by keeping her hands off Snow's guy.

It must be nice, Ariel thinks as she shoves her English book into her locker in exchange for her Chemistry book. She hopes no one can see her gawking at head quarterback, Eric. They wouldn't care though. Everyone knows he is way out of her league.

"Ariel, did you hear me?" Ariel suddenly realizes someone had been talking to her and that someone was Belle.

"Sorry, what did you ask?"

"I asked if you wanted to hang out later," Belle tells her before glancing down at the book she is currently reading.

"I can't, remember? I have swim practice. They are announcing today who is swim team captain and I think I have it this year," Ariel says with a bright smile.

"Good luck," Belle tells her with an encouraging smile. "I have to get to French. Cross your fingers I won't run into Gaston." Ariel jokingly crosses her fingers, then waves goodbye to her brunette friend.

Ariel turns back to her locker to collect her Chemistry notebook before closing the locker and heading towards class. She was making her way through all the students before getting distracted by the unoccupied music room. The little voice in her head (Belle) tells her not to do it, but she can't help it. Who need Chemistry anyway?

Ariel waits until the bell rings to slip into the empty room. She drops her books to the floor and slides on to the piano bench. Though she was a mediocre pianist at best, she manages to get through a simple tune with out botching it completely. Singing seemed to calm her down and that was just what she needed. There were no protective dads, critical sisters, or unattainable crushes here. Just music.

"How do you know the girl was hot?" John asks, running a hand through his slightly shaggy blonde hair.

"A girl with a good voice almost always is hot," Phillip points out, giving Eric a pat on the shoulder. "Congratulations, dude. You finally found a girl you like."

"I don't know if I like her. I just liked her voice," Eric tells the three guys as they stretch for football practice.

"So, tell us how it happened," Char urges, giving Eric his most persuasive smile. Eric shakes his head and pretends to be too preoccupied with stretching. "Come on, dude. We only have five minutes max before Coach and Shang want us out on the field. We want to know more about the girl who got Mr. I Will Never Fall in Love to think twice."

"It isn't much of a story. I was running late to class after Ursula was trying to hint to me she wanted me to ask her to the dance and I was walking past the music room when I heard the girl. I didn't have time to look in. All I know is that it was the most beautiful voice I have ever heard," Eric tells the boys and finishing the story with a sigh.

"Prettier than…"

Before Phillip can finish, John cuts in. "Yes, we know you are grossly in love with your playground sweetheart, Aurora. Just like we also know you think she is the best at everything. Can we please put talking about the chick to rest?" Phillip punches John in the arm, but says no more.

"Hey, is that a new player?" Char asks, changing the subject. The four football players glance over to see a very scrawny and short boy talking to Coach and Shang. The boy was in full football gear. John didn't know what to think about the situation. They needed every player they could get to beat D.W. Academy, but the new guy looks like a midget compared to the rest of them.

"I guess we could use a new player," John says with a shrug. "Anything to beat the D.W savages." The other boys nod in agreement before they hear a disgusted noise coming from behind them. They turn to see a tan skinned, athletic looking girl behind them.

"How could you talk about other people like that?" the girl asks in a demanding tone.

"Don't you support our school?" John asks in return, taking a step forward to be in front of his group.

The girl scowls at him. "I do support our school, but that doesn't mean I ridicule our opponent and call them savages. We need to respect their team. It is called good sportsmanship. Maybe you should look it up."

"I will as soon as you look up the word competition. That was what we are in with D.W. Academy. Sportsmanship stops when it comes to them," John replies. The girl just scowls again and stalks up, catching up with a group of other athletically fit girls. "Who was that?" John asks once she is out of ear shot.

"Her name is Pocahontas. She actually transferred from D.W. She is our star rower," Phillip tells John. John continues to stare at the girl's retreating back, watching her long hair sway back and forth. Thought the girl publically ridiculed him, he can't stop himself from thinking how amazing it was that she could stand up to him like that.

"Father, I don't see why I have to do this." Jasmine sits down on the couch and lets her tabby cat jump on to her lap. Jasmine could not believe her father was demanding her to get a date for this Rose Ball. Pocahontas will not believe this when she calls her later.

"I told you about this a week ago. My boss's son goes to your school. It would look really good for me if you let him take you to the Rose Ball. I said if you have another date, you wouldn't have to go with Jafar, but if you don't…" Jasmine cuts her dad off with a sigh. She did not want to go to the ball with Jafar. He was a notorious creep. Yet, she doesn't know who she would go with to get out of it. Jasmine believes strongly in true love and she will not go with just anyone.

Jasmine gets up quickly, frightening her cat. She quickly scoops up the quivering thing and begins to stalk upstairs out of anger. "Jasmine," her father calls after her, a call she ignores. "You have a week, Jasmine or you are taking Jafar."

Jasmine lets out a grunt of annoyance as she reaches the top of the stairs. It is there that she almost runs into her brother. "What?" she snaps at him, ready to hit anybody who drove her over the edge.

"What's up?" Adam asks, pushing his far to long brown hair out of his eyes.

"Dad is ruining my life," Jasmine admits bluntly. "Would you mind being gay and taking this Jafar kid to the ball?" Adam laughs a gruff laugh at her joke and shakes his head.

"Sorry baby sis, no can do. One, I am not gay. Two, even if I was gay, I would take that kid. And three, my band is playing the ball. You know, The Beasts?" Adam tells Jasmine, rubbing his stubbly chin that has gone far beyond a five o'clock shadow.

Jasmine frowns at the recognition of the band. Her brother thinks his band, The Beasts, will be legendary one day. So, he thinks playing like beasts everyday from three in the afternoon to eleven at night will help them reach that status. Jasmine was so glad she found cheerleading as a way to avoid listening to the ear drum breaking music.

"Good luck, Jazz. Happy date hunting," Adam tells her before retreating back into his cave. Jasmine smiles despite the terrible mood she is in. Her brother always manages to make her feel slightly better. She continues to smile as she goes into her room. She will find a date, despite the unfair reason she had to. She will find a date…hopefully.

I know people have written many Disney High stories, but I can never find a good one to read. So, I hope you like this one. I just have a few notes. There is only one Prince Charming to create a little drama. I am not sure if I will add the new princess, like Tiana and Rapunzel. It depends if people want them or not. Also, you have met everyone except for Aladdin and Hercules.

Reviews would be nice.
