Ok, so this is going to be my Disney Highschool Fanfiction. Yeah, I know there are a lot of these, but still, I think they are pretty fun to read and I want to try my luck at writing one myself. So pleeeaaaze leave constructive criticism in the comments if you read my story, and thank you if you do. So, if there is anything you think I lack of in my writing, please do say so, and write who you would like to see in the next chapter! So basically, forgive me if I get some things wrong in the schooling system, I am writing my story in a North American school, and I don't attend one, so if someone could tell me more about them that would be like... AWESOME AND SO HELPFUL (eg: do ya'll have morning assembly, and what's the food like, and like, what kind of clubs do ya'll go to)! So, I am going to make a list of characters that I will most likely be centering on, and please do pick someone. I don't really want to jump into romance, and things like that so fast... But I will so don't fret.
However, I do need a LOT of help and improvement. So please dooooo, give me tips and stuff like that. I don't really know how long this story is going to go on for... but yeah! My chapters aren't crazy long but if you want that, do mention it. Right now for chapter one, it's about 1600 words.
By the way, there will be no like, magic in this so incase you are wondering later on how Elsa has white hair and blah blah... I decided to make her albino, so I hope that's ok :). And, I won't be including any Disney characters that were never human, so for example, I won't be including characters like Stitch. But, basically I'm trying to say, that I want to keep things a little bit ordinary. I have still got a LOT of organizing to do, and thinking for my story but I will make a list of characters at the bottom, but I'm going to just release this first chapter for now and see what people think! Alright... enjoy! *gives virtual popcorn*
Oh yeah, I don't own Disney! (duh)
Chapter 1
It was a rather chilly Monday morning, and oak trees lined the stone pavement and flanked Quasimodo as he limped to school with Frollo, his adoptive father at his side, with a bony hand resting firmly on Quasimodo's shoulder. Quasimodo shuffled along, his arm squeezing his backpack strap with iron grip and his lips pursed, scared to say anything to Frollo.
"Now, Quasi, remember what I told you?" Frollo drawled, and dug his fingers into Quasimodo's shoulder suddenly. Quasimodo gave out a yelp and quickly stuttered, "I-I shouldn't talk to Es-Esmeralda!"
"That's right." Frollo said curtly, his voice laced with venom, "And tell me why, Quasi."
"I-I..." Quasimodo's voice faltered, as he saw his school ahead, up the road on the following block, and a familiar figure walking up the steps to the school entrance. It was Esmeralda, the beautiful 'gypsy', her thick hair resting on the back of her white blouse, and her hooped earrings gleaming warmly in the Sun and her skirt dancing in the chilly breeze.
Frollo quickly noticed this and gritted his teeth, hissing, "She is a gypsy."
"Yeah, yeah, a gypsy." Quasimodo echoed Frollo, nodding his head and blinking a bit too much for it to be natural. Frollo gave a low grunt and stalked away, without any good-bye, his cloak billowing behind him. A smile quickly flashed across Quasimodo's face and he sprinted ahead, savouring the freedom he felt every second without Frollo.
"Hey! Esmeralda!" Quasimodo hollered, and thundered forwards, and finally caught up to the raven-haired senior.
"Ugh, Elsa, why don't you want to talk to me? It's not like I'm embarrassing or something?" Anna groaned, playing absent-mindedly with her sweater's hem.
"Look, go find a friend or something, you aren't my business." Elsa said flatly, frowning slightly more than before. Anna rolled her eyes and retorted, "Could you get any bit more sisterly?"
"You mean older sisterly." Elsa corrected her, continuing to chew on gum blatantly. Anna grumbled and crossed her arms, just like a three year old. Her sister was a complete different person when they got to school. At home, she would be fun, and play with the dogs, but in school, her face was just a poker-face that never budged. Anna pouted her lips and then finally caved in, "Fine! I'll go find someone who actually had EMOTIONS!"
"Anna-" Her sister was about to say something, but was interrupted by a low surly voice, "Look here, two beauties."
It was a greasy-haired senior, average height, beefy, with cold blue eyes and a large jaw covered in bristle. He was leaning against a wall, with big muscly arms crossing his hairy chest. Elsa scrunched up her face and spat, "Talk to my fist, Gaston."
"Well, every rose has it's thorns." Gaston cackled and reached forward to brush some hair out of Elsa's eyes. Anna's eyes widened and she leapt forward and shoved Gaston's hand away.
"Get away from her, you sick pig!" Anna said hotly, her mind still processing what she had done. Gaston gave out a maddeningly sickly laugh and before he could reply with some new sleazy answer, Elsa dragged Anna away, and the pair quickly left.
"Who the heck was-" Anna started, her eyes wide with disgust and shock. Her sister sighed and rubbed a hand into her forehead, as if nursing a headache.
"Just the grossest guy in the whole universe, but that's not the point. Just don't talk to him, ok?" Elsa sighed, while giving one last nasty glance towards Gaston. Anna bit her lip and just nodded vigorously. Everything seems so new and scary and this was Anna's first year in High School and all Elsa had told her was that it was horrible. Anna didn't really know what she was going to do, like, who was she going to make friends with and how?
"Annabelle," Elsa said, referring to Anna with her full name, "You should go find some other freshman or something. You will be fine."
Anna sighed softly, and watched Elsa stalk off, her heels clacking clearly on the cold tiling of the hallway. Anna took one last paranoid look at Gaston, and then hurried down the hallway, her long braids swaying back and forth behind her head.
Ok, so what to do... Anna thought and fiddled with her glasses. She looked down at her time-table, squished in her sweaty palms. She folded it open gingerly, careful not to tear it with her shaking fingers.
"Alright... first I should head to... English in classroom 1B..." Anna murmured to herself, her blue eyes swiftly scanning her time-table for the first day.
"Where the bloody hell is classroom 1B?" another voice ahead of Anna rang out. Anna looked up, her thoughts mingled with surprise and relief. The voice belonged to an extremely pale girl, almost as pale as Elsa, with the most vibrant red and orange hair that to Anna, was more like a bush. Her eyebrows were furrowed furiously and she glared at a similar time-table clutched in her fists. Anna immediately leapt hurried forward.
"Hi, the name is Annabelle Summers, but you can call me Anna!" Anna exclaimed, holding out a hand to the redhead. The redhead's eyes widened and she just snorted rudely, "So what?"
"Well, you see," Anna stammered, slightly disheartened by the girl's rudeness, "I need to go to class 1B too."
The redhead frowned, an almost disappointed look appeared on her face, and then finally said half-heartedly, "Well my name is Merida, Anna."
"Cooool name!" Anna chuckled, then later regretting how long she dragged 'cool'. Merida smiled stiffly and then broke the silent awkwardness, "Well, let's find 1B then."
"Cool!" Anna said and clapped her hands together, beaming widely. Merida raised an eyebrow, silently questioning Anna, then turned away and walked up the aisle. Finally, the pair had found class 1B, after a few arguments definitely bubbled up along the way. Inside the class, sunshine yellow wallpaper greeted Merida and Anna.
"Good morning Miss Summers, and Miss DunBroch. A little late, am I right?" said a tall and slim strawberry blonde lady. Anna and Merida didn't reply. She continued, "My name is Anita Radcliffe and I am your English teacher for this year. Please, take a seat."
Anna took the seat closest to her and to her surprise, Merida promptly took the seat beside her, on her right. Anna smirked at Merida, who looked grimly down at her desk, looking unhappy to be there. Anna looked to her right, was a girl with a brown bob-cut, chewing nervously on a fingernail, and boring her eyes into the desk. She had a small frame, and large lime green eyes and a lotus flower pinned in her brunette hair-cut.
"Hi there!" Anna started to introduce herself, and yelped in shock when the girl suddenly gave out a blood-curdling scream and raised a white fist at Anna. The whole class froze, with all eyes on the brunette. Immediately, Miss Radcliffe hurried forth, and gently lowered the brunette's raised fist and calmed her. The little girl took a deep breath, to calm herself and gazed warily sideways, at Anna's intrigued face. Anna then gave her a quick nervous smile that made the brunette stiffen.
"Ok then..." Anna muttered then went on to stare at her desk. Ugh, how was she going to survive? Merida seemed ok, and that brunette seemed to have some kind of disorder! The class went on steadily, and for the most part, Anna just looked out the window, watching birds bathe in the sunlight on dark branches, the leaves ruffling their feathers...
"Annabelle, please stand up!" Miss Radcliffe chided. Anna immediately lept up, banging into her desk, and stammered, "Did, did I do anything wrong? Miss Radcliffe?"
Out of the corner of her eyes, Anna saw Merida roll her eyes. Miss Radcliffe's face softened, and an amused smile spread across her face, "No Annabelle-" "You can call me Anna" "No Anna, I just need you to introduce yourself."
Miss Radcliffe gestured to the whiteboard, where it was written: INTRODUCE YOURSELF (NAME, FAVOURITE THING). Anna giggled and started off, "Well, my name is Anna and my favourite thing is snowmen, because they are really fun to make, and I love winter and snow!"
Miss Radcliffe shook her head and murmured, "Just like her sister."
"That's right!" Anna nodded keenly, and then quickly sat back down, flattening out her sweater at the same time. Miss Radcliffe returned to her seat, and after Anna sat down, the nervous brunette stood up shakily, her legs visibly trembling.
"My name is R-Rapunzel, and I like to paint." With that, Rapunzel pressed back into her chair, her cheeks glowing red. Miss Radcliffe gave Rapunzel a broad smile, then suddenly, a bell rang out, and Miss Radcliffe sighed and gave a good-natured chuckle and declared, "Alright, class is over, everyone please do get on your way to your next class, have a good day ahead."
Everyone sprang up from their seats, and bowed down to Miss Radcliffe, chiming, "Thank you Miss Radcliffe!"
Then, the class was emptied in a second and Anna was swept out of the class, with Merida following her closely behind.
"Hey!" a small voice spoke out behind Anna.
"Yeah?" Anna said and turned around, "Who's that-"
It was Rapunzel, the brunette from English class. Merida eyed Rapunzel suspiciously, and asked in a deadpan voice, "So what do you want?"
"I, I'm really sorry about scaring you in class; I was home-schooled my whole life ever since now and I'm kind of... nervous." Rapunzel mumbled, her cheeks still flushed. Anna let her guard down, reassuring Rapunzel, "It's totally fine, come on, you should come with Merida and I. We will be your first friends!"
Merida gave a low grumble and trudged after Rapunzel and Anna. Rapunzel turned out to be really bubbly, and child-like not to mention, as Merida and Anna found out in History class, which followed English class. Their history teacher was a stout elderly woman clad in a purple floral dress called Mrs. Potts. She and Miss Radcliffe were both really nice, and so far Anna was feeling pretty content with the day.
