The Academy.

Boo! Here's the next update! Please review! By the way I wanna get all the other characters paired up before Jack and Elsa so it goes like this Aladdin, Flynn and then Jack.

Chapter Three: Life's Not a Fairy Tale.

It was Friday and Jack hadn't seen Elsa since the crash meeting- literally. He was currently walking down the hall with Aladdin and Flynn on either side of him, he liked to think of them as his posy you know? He tried explain that to the guys but they just fell on the floor laughing calling it a sissy idea and an immensely girly thing to say. Flynn being – As he thought- the mature one watched them roll on the dirty floor laughing.

"Jack!" The boys heard someone holler from behind them. Jack groaned and looked back to see Arora, head of the ice-skating team. Oh he so did not need this.

Clearing his throat he strut over to her while Flynn and Aladdin leaned against the wall enjoying the view of passing girls. Arora was currently at her stall coaxing girls into joining the team.

"Hey babe." He said leaning on the table. Arora giggled slightly.

"Hey yourself," she said pushing his shoulder in a friendly matter. "I haven't seen you in a while where have you been?" she said her voice now just above a whisper. That was the plan…

"Babe, you know I'm not allowed to see you over the holidays." Lie.

"I know it's just I missed you and keeping our relationship a secret is really killing me." She said hurt evident in her voice.

"I know, I know, I feel the same way baby." Lie.

"You do?" she squeaked out.

"Ye," He said keeping his cool. Lie. "But you know if my mum finds out he'll force me to leave the ice hockey team." Ye… that wasn't entirely true you see Jack's mum knew all about his countless encounters with girls. he didn't even know why he came up with that rule, it must have seemed cool not to have a girlfriend over the holidays, were you could hook up with the girls that had long hair, long legs and wore way to much makeup- basically the sluts.

"Ye unfortunately," She sighed casting a glance in the opposite direction, "Any way you better get going, your friends are waiting for you." She sighed pointing over to the two fools waving sweetly at them. Oh God they could be such idiots. Jack rolled his eyes mentally. He didn't want her to think he was rolling his eyes at her as much as he wanted to.

"Forget them, their just jealous they don't have a fit girlfriend like me." He said smirking as he saw a blush paint her already rosy cheeks. "How's about I make it up to you. Date Tuesday night?" Oh Jack no… can't you just leave it.

"At the snuggly duckling?"

"Of course!" No. She giggled at his fake enthusiasm – not that she knew it was fake.

"I'd love to!" Damn you.

"Awesome, I'll pick you up at six." Ahh… He said clapping his hands together. "Do you know if your parents will be home?" He asked suggestively. Please Jack shut up.

"No their out on business till next Friday, we have the house to ourselves." She said giggling. Seriously the amount of giggling that came out of that girl's mouth.

"Cool, see you then babe." He said walking as fast as he could back to his friends. Fuck!

"Love you." He heard her say before he ran off to his friends, pretending to not have heard her. Those kind of things made him feel sick, he didn't love her, he didn't even know if he was capable of love and he liked it like that way. If he didn't have a relationship he wouldn't be tied down, he liked to be free and wild. He got to his friends and high fived them.

"So… how was the Missus?" Aladdin teased.

"Not my Missus, she's just a girl I fuck."

Flynn sighed "She pop the 'L' word." He asked.

"Oh, she crossed that line a while ago." Jack laughed.

"You know I kind of feel sorry for her." Aladdin muttered.

"You know, I'm actually starting to believe you're turning soft." Flynn joked.

"Ye… I guess that's what happens when you fall in love." Aladdin said looking of dreamily.

Flynn fake gasped. "In love! How could you cheat on me? On Jack?"

"Oh Aladdin my one true love!" Jack said kneeling in front of him hand on his heart. "How could you?"

"Shut-up guys, you're making a scene." Aladdin hissed looking around to see girl's snapping photos and giggling to themselves. Then he saw one girl in particular. Shit!

"It's what we live for Ali, you should know that by now. Shouldn't he ladies?" Jack asked the crowed. There was a chorus of yes's and a couple of snide remarks from some ongoing boys, which they ignored of course.

"Well ladies I'm glad you enjoyed the show-" Flynn started but he was cut off.

"-But we'll be going now." Aladdin said quickly, picking Jack up from the floor and grabbing Flynn by his sleeve dragging them along.

Jack didn't know what was going on so he just allowed himself to be pulled along by Aladdin along with Flynn- speaking of Flynn he probably knew what was going on- he casted a sideways glance at him nudging him in the ribs.

"What?" He hissed rubbing his side with his free hand. Jack rolled his eyes what a drama queen.

"What's up with Aladdin?" He asked curiosity gleaming in his usual dull eyes.

"Don't know ask him yourself." He said shrugging.

"Fine, whatever." Suddenly Aladdin came to a stop causing Flynn and Jack to nearly topple over him. Jack, realising that they were now at the lockers, yanked his arm out of Aladdin's death grip.

"So why'd you get so pissed when we did our little act Aladdin?" Jack finally asked. He really wanted to hear the answer to that. Aladdin had never acted so hostile towards them while they pulled stunts like that, he usually played along giving the girls an occasional wink or two.

Aladdin looked at him irritation clearly painted across his face. "Because, Jasmine was there."

"So…" Flynn said pushing the subject. So what if jasmine was there it wasn't like him and Jack actually loved him, they were just kidding around.

"So… it was embarrassing. Yesterday at lunch we talked at the dinner table while you were busy lip locking with snow- which by the way is not a thing you should do at the table. Anyway we were talking about things we liked about people and somehow it turned into a what-kind-of-person-you-would-date thing. And I'm nothing like what she described!" He said starting to freak out.

"Oh, really what kind of things did she say?" Eric said opening his locker, a book fell out and onto his foot. He cursed under his breath.

"Oh you know, a gentleman, kind, sweet, loves animals preferably cats, likes cheesy movies, romantic and know all the lyrics to 'Reflection' by Christina Aguilera. Who knows that song of by heart?"

"Ok and you think playing around with your mates is ungentlemanly?" Flynn asked. Jack didn't think so he just saw it as harmless playing around, just like him and the girls he went out with. Just a game.

"Yes!" Aladdin said.

"Ok, whatever you say." Flynn said, then he looked over at Jack seeing him deep in thought. "What you thinking about?"

Jack looked him shocked. "Huh? Oh just what an idiot I am for asking Arora on a date, it will be a miracle if I can get her to shut up." Jack said sighing.

"You know Jack I think Aladdin was right; you shouldn't play that girl she very nice and deserves better." Flynn said rummaging through his locker cursing every time something feel out, his locker had too much junk in it. One day he was gonna clear it out- just not today… or any day soon.

Jack groaned in annoyance.

"Your no better Flynn." He really didn't need both his friends turning soft he'd rather have them absolutely heartless than all gooey and mushy- As horrible as that sounds, but Jack wasn't good with his emotion and he thought he never would be able to control them after the accident...

"Ye but I don't date one and have sex with the other!"

"And there's nothing wrong with turning soft!" Aladdin defended from his current position, with his head stuffed in his locker. Jack looked back at him letting out a small chuckle at what he saw, forgetting about his previous dark thoughts.

"What are you doing in there?" Flynn asked.

"Looking for my maths text book." Aladdin groaned out still searching but to no avail.

"Uhh, man… hate to burst your bubble but maths is tomorrow." Jack leaned against the lockers.

"Ye, ye I know but Jasmine said she would help me out, we're meeting at the cafe down the road after school."

"Ughh, Make sure to ask her out ye?"

"Uhh, maybe…" Aladdin said unsure, he really wasn't sure if Jasmine liked him, it felt more like she tolerated him.

"Come on man if she's teaching maths to an idiot like you there must be some sort of catch." There was always one.

"Hey! I'm not an idiot. Tell him Flynn." Aladdin said. Flynn pointedly ignored him recalling Aladdin's 'Butt' comment on Monday. "Oh my, gosh, you're still upset about the big but joke aren't you?"

"Hmm." Flynn said stubbornly, pulling out a drink from his locker that Jack instantly stole. "Wha-" but he knew better then to argue and left it cursing about a dry throat.

"And why does everything have to be about taking with you why can't someone just give without expecting something in return?" Aladdin asked Jack raising an eyebrow.

"Because life's not a fairy tale." Jack said looking off into the distance a solemn expression coming to his face.

"Oh whatever, aren't you going to get your books?" Flynn asked cutting off Jack's thoughts, he snapped out of his trance and looked at him confused.

"Oh, oh yes." He said quickly realisation filtering over his face.

"Idiot." Aladdin mumbled under his breath, Jack shot him a dirty look.

He turned the dial on his locker, then yanked the stiff the door open with a grunt. "Man they always give me the crap locker."

"That's coz' they know if they gave you a nice one you'd just ruin it." Flynn said with a sigh.

"No I would n- Pftt" Jack blew at a small piece of paper that hit his face half way through his sentence. The piece of paper fell off his face and onto the floor. As he went to pick it up Aladdin jumped in and snatched it off the floor.

"Dude!" Jack groaned "Pass it over." No one ever took anything from the Jack Frost. No. he was always the one doing the steeling. Yes.

"Na-ah-ah. I wanna read this!" Aladdin said. "'Dear Jack,'" Aladdin snorted but continued anyway. "'I thought about going out with you, a lot, and I finally thought why not, so I'll see you at the Snuggly Duckling on Wednesday at 6 like you said. Love Periwinkle. P.s Don't tell any of my friends they'd kill me.'"

"Huh, I thought you dumped her last year." Flynn said thoughtfully.

"Ahh, you see that's the thing… she's kind of good in the sack." He said pulling the 'k' out. It wasn't that bad but Aladdin and Flynn still thought he would go for a new girl. They didn't know Periwinkle personally but if she was good in bed why not?

"Jack don't you think that's kind of low- even for you?" Aladdin asked.

"Ye I know, but I thought I might give her another chance, you know?" he would have gone for that… what was her name again… El- something. Oh. Elsa that's it, he would have gone for her but if his sexy smirk didn't work then he doubted she would fall for his other tricks. She seemed smart.

"Ye, ye." Flynn mumbled he took out his phone to check the time. "We better get going the try outs are going to be in the music room soon." Despite the groups misbehaviour Mr Walter had allowed them to use the music room at lunch- because none of them had a garage.

"Oh that was today…?" Jack asked, he had completely forgot. Stupid Frost.

"Yes dummy and if you wanna be late to your own band audition, be my guest but I'm going now."

"Ye I'm coming." He mumbled under his breath, he really hoped the girls –boys- could sing. He really didn't appreciate getting his ear drums busted. He needed his ears to listen to the small mules he was going to get out of Arora on Tuesday or maybe even Tooth… okay getting a bit side tracked. He looked up to see the guys half way down the hall.

"Hey wait for me!"

"Elsa pleaseeee!" Rapunzel said looking up at the brunet with puppy dog eyes. Oh no not again… aghh keep it together. Elsa looked back into her locker trying to ignore her but she ended looking back at her. But those eyes!

"Fine!" She said. She had realised Rapunzel had started to use that look a lot more often now that she knew it worked. And oh boy did it work.

"Thank you, thank you, and thank you!"

Elsa laughed, "Ye, ye, but you're so coming to my Ice-skating audition." Elsa pointed at her.

"Ughh, I hate Ice-skater's." Rapunzel moaned.

"Oh come on look at me I'm not all that bad." She gave her a once over a sighed.

"Ye but you're not an Ice-skater."

"Yet." Elsa added wagging a figure at her. Yet… The word rang in her ears, she might actually have a chance at being an Ice-skater! She was so excited she knew she was good at dancing she had been practicing with Rapunzel, and she had said she was amazing!

Everything was going great and it would be the weekends soon. All her friends seemed happy but Merida looked as if she was hiding something from them but Elsa knew better to dig in. She was also going for her job interview today and her the ice-skating try outs were next Friday. Life couldn't be better.

"Anyway we should get going I don't want to be waiting in the line for ever." Rapunzel said desperately bouncing up and down in her spot. "Knowing the girls here there will be tonnes!" She said spreading her arms out.

Elsa laughed at her friend's excitement. "Ok, ok I'm coming." She said pulling her books outa for her next lesson she knew they were going to be there for ages and that she wouldn't have time to go to her locker later. "Come on lets go."

"Finally!" Rapunzel exclaimed.

They started walking down the hall to the music room when an idea popped into Elsa's head. "Rapunzel why don't you like Cheerleaders?" She asked. Rapunzel looked at her eerily she didn't really like talking about it but Elsa was her best friend and she knew she could trust her.

Rapunzel audibly gulped. "Uh, well you see I had this friend; Periwinkle, and in secondary school and she got into cheerleading and stuff and joined the schools ice-skating team…" Rapunzel sighed, it was hard talking about her old friend. "She changed. A lot. She was vain and self-centred and she used to leave me alone at lunch to be with her supposed mate's and..." Her voice cracked "I just don't want that to happen to you." She let a tear slip out and down her cheek but quickly wiped it away hoping Elsa hadn't see it.

Elsa promptly stopped seeing her friend's distress and wrapped her arms around the now sobbing girl. Elsa was still getting used to dealing with other people's emotions and her own. At the care home she felt like an object not a person, living but not alive, like a void of empty space.

"Shhh…" She hushed comfortingly. "I promise I won't ever leave you. And when I make a promise, I never, ever, break that promise." She said. Rapunzel looked up at her unsure. Elsa had never seen her friend so vulnerable, she was always happy and outgoing. She gave her a reassuring smile. "Ever."

"Thank you so much Elsa." She cried out wiping the rest of her tears away. "I really needed that." she pulled out of the hug.

Elsa looked at her friend then involuntarily gave of a laugh. Rapunzel looked at the platinum blond as if she were mad.

"What?" Rapunzel asked nervously. What was so funny? Was it her cloths? Elsa had seen them already… "Oh no there's something on my face isn't there?" She said franticly. If something was wrong with her face Flynn wouldn't even spare her a second glance.

Elsa so engrossed with her laughter didn't answer but simply passed Rapunzel a hand mirror she had in her pocket. She snatched the mirror out of her hand and looked into it.

"Oh, my, gosh!" she said trying to rub the excess mascara of her face but to no avail. "Where's the closest bathroom?" Elsa pointed down the hall after she had composed herself. Rapunzel went off in the direction Elsa had pointed to.

"Hey! Wait for me!" She shouted after her.

"Hurry up then!" Rapunzel shouted back, running through the bathroom door.

Once Elsa got there Rapunzel was hunched over the sink, all traces of her previous tears gone. She was reapplying her mascara, groaning every time she messed up. She was rushing so she could get to her auditions quickly, knowing Flynn, Jack and Aladdin their band audition would have so many people lining up for the try-outs the line would be the whole length of the hall way.

"What are you doing?" Elsa asked.

"Putting my stupid mascara on." She groaned out slamming her fist down in anger. Her body was still weak from her cry and her hand wouldn't stop shaking.

"Oh can I have some?" She asked hopefully.

"Umm… sure I guess. But hurry." Rapunzel said.

"Thanks" She took the brush out of her hand. Rapunzel anxiously looked at the time on her phone, they really needed to go. Elsa was done quickly. She looked deep into her own eyes through the large mirror. Wow her eyes looked even bigger than before! "How does it look?" Elsa asked.

Rapunzel looked up from her phone and gaped at her. Her eyes were wide with excitement and the mascara made them look even bigger. But not in a bad way.

"Today after school, on your way to the pub interview we are so buying you mascara." Rapunzel stated seriously but kindly. She looked beautiful, if she wore mascara more often she would have all the boy's lying up behind her.

"Really" Elsa was very self-conscious after being made fun of most of her life it was hard to believe all the compliment she had been told. It was getting easier though.

"Of course! But can we go to the auditions now?"

"Sure!" Rapunzel grabbed her sleeved arm pulling her along to the music room.

"Flynn don't look now but I think Gothel's auditioning next." Jack said cringing over the name.

"You mean the Gothel?" Flynn asked anxiously. He knew Gothel could sing but the thing was she was this manipulative Goth girl no one liked, they all called her a witch because of her dark habits. Don't get me wrong she was beautiful and all… just not very pleasant. But the biggest problem about her was she was Flynn's ex-girlfriend.

"Yep!" Aladdin laughed from his seat. He felt like he was an x-factor judge. "It was nice knowing ya."

"Oh come on it's not that bad." Jack said trying to reason with him.

"Not that bad remember what she did to me when I broke up with her?" Flynn shiver at the thought. He had walked into his class ready for his maths exam. But when he looked around he didn't recognise anyone and everyone was speaking some unknown language.

And then the two days later his body felt like lead. He couldn't even pick up his leg properly.

"Oh come on Flynn we both know that you accidently walked onto a Greek class when you lost your contacts." Jack said, Aladdin snorted.

"Ok… Well what about my body feeling like lead!"

"You ran an 8 miles for charity the day before," Aladdin said.

Flynn looked dumbstruck he didn't remember running 8 mile's ever. "I have never ran 8 miles in my life."

Aladdin and Jack both looked at each other sheepishly. "You tell him." Aladdin said to Jack.

"What! It was you're idea you tell him!"

"No you!" Aladdin shouted back.

"Tell me what!" Flynn interrupted.

"Jack drugged you." They said in unison except Jack said Aladdin had don't it.

"You did what!"

"Well ye I… I mean we… needed the money and I was sure as hell not gonna run and neither was Aladdin so we drugged you a little to make you run."

"Oh, my, gosh I can't believe you guys!"

"Excuse me, if your quite finished boy's." Came a sharp voice from the front of the room. Evil yet harmonic.

"It's Gothel isn't it?" Flynn asked keeping his head to the side refusing to look at her. Both of his friends were already looking over at her.

"Yep." Aladdin whispered to him.

"Shit!"

"Gothel my friend! What a surprise!" Jack announced standing up clapping his hands together smiling slightly. Gothel however looked unimpressed.

"Cut the crap Jack." She hissed.

Jack growled at her, no one ever told him 'to cut the crap' "Now look here-"

"Why don't you just sing for us?" Aladdin said quickly stopping Jack from making the worst decision; cussing a witch.

"Hmm, whatever." She looked over at her ex and waved at him. "Hey Flynn." She said sweetly.

Flynn slowly rotated his head to look at her giving her a weary smile. "Hey Gothel." He said lifting up his hand. She smiled again, maybe just a bit too sweetly making Jack shudder. He had never liked her, she was probably the only girl in the school he wouldn't sleep with, and that was saying something.

She sucked in a deep breath and started belting out the lyrics of the final count down. Really, really loud. Jack had to cover his ears. On the other hand Flynn and Aladdin seemed unfazed. Oh no she was going to pop his ear drums. Shit! He need to get out- and fast.

Jack stood up abruptly and rushed out, face red, bumping into some one. "Fuck! What's your!-"Jack looked up to see the same girl he had bumped into on Monday. What was her name again he was thinking about it before. The smart or naïve one. Elsa! That's it.

"Oh it's you again." It wasn't a hurtful tome more like a surprised one.

"Ye it's me." He said rubbing the back of his neck. "So… are you here to audition?" He asked.

"What? Oh, no I'm just here for a friend!" She said quickly.

"Ok cool." He looked into her eyes noticing how big they looked. They were beautiful… what! "Your eyes seem bigger than before." He said. They were weren't they? Or was his mind just playing tricks on him?

"Oh, I just put some mascara on is all?" What? She wasn't wearing any mascara before then she probably didn't wear make-up at all.

"You mean you weren't wearing make-up when we first meet!" He asked shocked. Her skin was flawless.

"Umm… no why?" She asked curiously, tilting her head to the side, causing a strand of white hair to fall over her eye. She was so cute!

"Uh no reason just you have really nice skin." Oh he was so good at complimenting.

"Thanks I guess." She looked down a blush painting her cheeks. They stood there a while before Jack broke the silence.

"Umm… well I have to-"

"Ye me too-"

"See you another time." He said backing away.

"Ye!" She said smiling brightly tucking a stray piece of her gorgeous hair behind her ear.

He walked back to the music room trying his best not to look back. Once he got to his destination Flynn pounced on him.

"Dude! Where were you?" he said "This brunette chick just blew the roof off! What was her name again Aladdin?"

"Rapunzel."

"Oh ye, I thought she was perfect and seeing as you two weren't even paying attention most of the time I picked her." Flynn shrugged. "Plus she's hot."

"Isn't she a first year?" Aladdin stood up from his seat shaking his head.

"Ye so, she was still buff."

"Ok, I'll trust your good judgement, now the bells about to go so it's time for us to go." Jack picked his books and heading to his class the others trailing behind him.

Thank you so much for the follows and fav's can we get some more review in? Much appreciated and I hope you liked it.
