A High School Cinderella Story

Hello, and welcome to my first ever Cinderella story! In which Jaq and Gus are humans, and best friends. Where Cinderella is dating Prince Charming, in high school! And where Jaq may be in love with her! But a certain boyfriend and pair of step-sisters won't make it easy to win her over...

Fairy Godmother? She's just Jaq's big sis, and a big role in the fic... At some point. :P Step-mother?... Meh, I don't like her much. She's a teacher. Cinderella's REAL mother is ALIVE here. But her Father?... Not so much. There's not many others in the show that are in this, though.

I don't own Cinderella.

Jaq Marks walked into 'J. Royale High' with his best friend Gus Parks by his side.

This was his first day here, seeing as how he had been sick with a case of mono for the first few weeks. He was finally allowed around others today, which also meant continuing his education. This was sophomore year for he and Gus, a year which they had promised themselves would be better than last year, but not as great as the next.

Jaq got his schedule and locker number from the office, and instantly the year was going downhill.

He and Gus had planned to take all of their Extracurricular classes together, which he was sure would make up for some of it, but since they didn't sign up for those for another week, it looked like he and his best friend wouldn't have any classes together for the time being.

Sighing heavily, he went to his locker, number 128. At least he and Gus could be locker neighbors...

Gus went to the locker on his left, and Jaq quickly opened the combination lock and placed his belongings inside.

When he slammed the locker door shut, he saw a pure vision of beauty at her own locker, two down from his. His heart began to pound, his mouth went dry and his face began to sweat.

This girl had golden blonde hair, reaching just above her waist. Her eyes were pure, ocean blue. Her face was, unlike most of the kids at school, smooth and acne free. Clad in a light blue camisole with sky blue shrug and navy skirt, she looked like a surreal goddess- In his eyes.

He walked towards her, and put on the best smile he could- Until a black-haired teen went right to the girl and kissed her on the cheek. She giggled and glanced up at the boy, who Jaq's mind had just registered as her boyfriend.

"Hey, Prince" she said. Prince smirked.

"Hey, Cindy" the boyfriend said, and the girl frowned.

"Prince, you know I hate that nickname" she said. Prince shrugged.

"Sorry, Cinderella. I forgot" he said, and placed another kiss on Cinderella's cheek. The pair then walked away together, and Jaq was left unnoticed.

He was in such a stupor that he didn't notice Gus walking up behind him, until he spoke.

"You like her?"

Jaq jumped and turned, face beet red. Gus rolled his eyes and motioned for him to speak.

"Well, yeah..." Jaq said after what felt like a lifetime. Gus shook his head in amusement.

"Well, her boyfriend that you just saw is Prince Charming-" Gus paused when he noticed Jaq's unbelieving face.

"No, really! That's his real, legal name! His parents named him 'Prince' and his last name is 'Charming' I think they realized the irony of it, or maybe they were just strange" Gus quickly explained. Jaq nodded slowly, still shocked over both Cinderella's boyfriend and Prince's last name.

"Anyway, Prince Charming is captain of the football team. Cinderella is the head cheerleader. They're expected to stay together, so don't go around hoping they'll break up" Gus advised. Jaq nodded to understand, when in fact he didn't.

Sure they always were together in movies and stuff, but that's just stereotypical to assume it'll happen in real life. Jaq knew he had a shot, though the target was small and far away. Yet he knew, if he didn't shoot too quickly, and got to know Cinderella, it'd get bigger and closer, day by day.

And that was his plan.
