Note from the Author: Hello my Jackunzel fans! So I had posted this story awhile ago, but I didn't like where it was going so I deleted it. I have been thinking it over and now I have decided to repost it. Most of it is still going to be the same, but I am going to be changing up the later chapters. Anyways, enjoy!

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Chapter 1

Ever since Rapunzel could remember she's hated Jack. She hated the way he smiled, she hated the way he thought he was so hot, she hated everything about him. Well maybe not hate, but seriously disliked.

Jack lived across the street from her, which made it even easier for her to dislike him. They used to be somewhat friends, but that only lasted a day. A very short day. The day she moved in actually. She moved to Arendelle when she was in the second grade and thought it was going to change her life. It did in a way because it taught her that not everyone is going to be your friend.

She remembered the day and how it all happened. Her mom and her were unpacking their small moving truck when Jack and his father came over to introduce themselves. At first she was intrigued by the boy with the white hair and big blue eyes. He didn't really say hi to her, just waved and then tried to listen in on Rapunzel's mum and his mum's conversation.

Rapunzel was showing him their house when they reached her room. He asked why her room was white and she told him her mother let's her paint her room and he told her how stupid that was. Not only that, but he damaged her paints and her easel!

It resulted in them having a full blown yelling match and their mother's pulling them off of each other.

So now, 9 years later and in their Junior year, their disliking for each other had only grown. They only reason why they still had to talk and communicate with each other was because their best friends were each other's best friends too.

It's not what Rapunzel preferred, but she loved her best friend Merida and if she was friends with Jack's best friend, she would make that sacrifice for her friend.

Rapunzel woke up, their first day of Junior year, and was happy that they only had one more year of high school. One more year of school. One more year of getting up this early. One more year of living across from that arse.

She got up and sat in front of her vanity and brushed out her long blonde hair. She put on mascara quickly and stood up, opening her curtains and smiled at the sun shining down on here. She learned in fifth grade that her room was literally directly across from Jack's. She could see him getting ready for school. She grimaced at the boy standing in nothing but jeans, fluffing his hair up with gel.

She turned and walked towards her closet, flinging it open, her morning already ruined by seeing any sign of that jerk. She tapped her chin and decided what she was going to wear. She grabbed a flowly purple dress that had sleeves that went down to her elbows and pulled some wedges out of her shoe rack. She turned to her stereo and blasted some music to help lift her mood.

She danced and sang to Taylor Swift's We Are Never Getting Back Together. She slipped out of her nightgown and danced around throwing her dressed on and zipping it up in the back with a hanger.

She strapped her wedges on and twirled in front of her mirror and smiled at herself. The perfect outfit for a perfect first day. She skipped down the stairs and smiled at her mother as she saw the stack of strawberry pancakes waiting for her.

"Yum!" she yelled and sat down stuffing pancakes in her mouth.

"Merida called. She's on her way over here", her mother told her. Rapunzel nodded, to focused on eating. They heard a knock on the door and Merida walked in without anyone even answering. This was like her second home.

"HEY! ARE WE ALREADY FOR THE FIRST DAY OF JUNIOR YEAR!" Merida yelled and hugged Rapunzel.

"Volume Merida, volume..." Rapunzel's mother rubbed her temples.

"Sorry Gothel", Merida smiled," I'm just so pumped! Just one more year, girl! And then we will be going to Princeton and beginning our lives!"

Rapunzel smiled at her friends enthusiasm and shook her head slowly. She loved Merida, but sometimes she could just be a tad bit to loud. Her family was a bunch of Scots and they weren't the quietest of the bunch. To say that Merida was the loudest person at pep rallies was an understatement.

"Thanks for breakfast mum", she smiled and hugged her mother," We're gonna go now."

Rapunzel grabbed her shoulder bag and walked out with Merida to Rapunzel's car. Rapunzel saved up so long for it and with help from her mother, she got her dream car. It was a sky blue, convertable Beetle. She got in and folded down the top.

"I'm so excited for today! Are we gonna stop and pick up Hiccup?" Merida asked.

Rapunzel nodded, putting on her sunglasses," Sure." She started pulling out when she said Jack on his motorcycle wheeling it down the driveway before revving the engine obnoxiously.

"Mmmm", Rapunzel growled through her teeth and looked at the white haired boy.

"Rapunzel, relax. He's just leaving", Merida told her friend. She was aware of how much Rapunzel hated Jack and how much he hated her. She saw how Jack and Rapunzel were eyeing each other down right now. Jack's eyes gleaming through his helmet and Rapunzel tilting her sunglasses down so she could glare at him.

Merida huffed and rolled her eyes. Before Rapunzel could even put her foot on the gas pedal, Jack already sped away, winking at her through his helmet as he did so. Rapunzel huffed and drove the opposite way towards Hiccup's house, Merida's and Jack's best friend. He was starting to become her friend too, but she wasn't as close as the other two.

"I don't understand why you two even keep this up anymore. Don't you think we are a little to old for this?" Merrida asked Rapunzel carefully.

"What?! He's the one that keeps it going. He is always trying to irritate me", Rapunzel yelled at her friend. How dare she take his side?

"Rapunzel, he only does it because he knows how much it pisses you off. What do you think would happen if you didn't react? He would stop", Merrida told her. Rapunzel thought over what her friend said and had to admit, she had a point. She never tried that before.

"Alright. We'll see..." Rapunzel pulled into Hiccup's driveway.

"Bout time!" Hiccup came walking out and jumped into the backseat of Rapunzel's car," I've been waiting forever."

"Oh stop it", Rapunzel rolled her eyes," We're on time. School doesn't start for another 30 minutes."

"Yeah, and school is still 20 minutes away", Hiccup reminded her.

"Then we better stop talking and go", Rapunzel stuck her tongue out and swerved out of the driveway and hit the gas.

"See I told you wwe would make it on time", Rapunzel smiled victoriously and was about to pull into a parking spot when Jack swerved in front of her causing her to hit her brakes. Rapunzel glared at him as he pulled in with a girl she recognized as Elsa on the back holding his waist.

She smiled as she got off and he followed her, putting an arm around her waist as they walked into the school.

"Rapunzel, remember what I told you", Merrida rubbed Rapunzel's shoulder," Don't let it get to you."

Rapunzel swallowed her pride and nodded her head, looking for a new spot.

Rapunzel walked into school and felt an arm go around her waist. She looked up and smiled at her boyfriend Flynn, a senior and the star quarterback. He had been gone the summer with his family in California which to her and their little town in Georgia, was a long ways away.

"Hey!" he smiled and kissed her in front of everyone," I've missed you!"

"Your parents are cutting it kind of close getting back yesterday, huh?" she smiled as they walked to class. Merrida and Hiccup had gone off to do their own thing. She had a sneaking suspicion that they were starting to like each other.

"So how was it?" Rapunzel smiled at him," Tell me all about it!"

Flynn shrugged," We didn't do much."

Rapunzel looked at him weirdly," You were gone in California for three months and all you had to say was you didn't do much?"

Flynn smiled and ruffled Rapunzel's hair," I've missed you and your smart mouth."

She smiled and they arrived at her locker," I have cheerleading after school today, but do you wanna hang out afterwards?"

"Well Ana is throwing a party tonight. First party of the year. Should be good. Wanna go?" Flynn asked me and wiggled his eyebrows.

I shrugged," Not really. I want private time with you Flynn. I haven't seen you in three months for crying out loud."

"Well what better way to get aqquinted Punz", he smirked and ran his along on my side.

"Knock it off", I wiggled out of his touch," You know I don't want to do that yet."

"You just said you haven't seen me in 3 months and how you miss me!" he laughed and then ran his hand through his hair frustrated," What better way to treat me than to finally express our love!"

"So because you've been gone I have to sleep with you to show you I missed you?" she looked at him, hurt etched into her face.

Flynn stalled for a moment," Well no, but I mean damn Punz. We have been dating since 8th grade. Don't you think it's time too?"

"No! I want it to be when I really care about someone and I love them", Rapunzel told him.

"You don't love me?" Flynn kept trying.

"Of course I do! It's just, Flynn we're in high school. That's a big thing for a girl to do with a guy", she tried to explain," And I want it to be perfect! I don't want it to happen at some friggen party where anyone can walk in on us."

Flynn nodded and smiled," Alright, alright. Let's get to class."

They walked hand in hand down the hallway to their first class, AP Biology. Everyone in the hallway were either saying hi to her or high fiving Flynn and asking him how his vacation was. Rapunzel looked around at all the faces and felt an emptiness inside her that usually came with being around Flynn.

She loved him and her friends, but were they really her friends? Or were they just friends because of the circumstance? The circumstance being they were popular and in high school? She looked at Flynn who was practically beaming with all the attention being showered on upon him. They were the school's Golden Couple and she knew it. She was head cheerleader and he was the star quarterback. It was so perfect it was almost sickening to her.

Sometimes she wished she could just be with Merrida and have all of this melt away and she could just paint and be real and not have to plaster on a smile at school for Flynn and the people always watching them.

Rapunzel choked down all these feelings and just plastered on her best 'I love my life' smile and held onto Flynn's hand a little tighter.
