But forgive me if you have waited a little longer for this chapter because I need more time to write more... sorry! :(
So here goes... *gives tons of popcorn and hotdogs and marshmallows*
Oh yeah, plus SO much thanks for all the reviews and views, I am immensely happy that some of you are enjoying this story. So big mwahs to all of you! :DDD
Chapter 10
It was a few days after Belle had more formally met Adam, and she was back in the library, this time settled in on the brown bean-bags, her eyes glancing at the front door warily from time to time as she read her book. Today, Belle had came to the library partially in hopes of meeting Adam again, for she had this aching urgency to get to know him better. She couldn't exactly pinpoint why, but she would now rather chance upon him than Gaston. For the past days, thankfully, Gaston had been suffering a broken nose and hadn't come to school and as for Adam, Belle had learned just that day that he had managed to scrape through getting suspended. She was eager to find out why.
Belle half-heartedly turned the page of her book. She wasn't very interested in it, to be frank, and instead found herself almost desperately searching the hallway outside the library for the familiar figure of Adam. Belle bit her lip, impatiently clucking her tongue and pouting, doubting if Adam would show up. If he didn't, Belle's visit to the library would just be very normal, the same old same old return and borrow system she had been running on for the past years. Belle sighed, disappointment evident in her voice, after she had waited half-an-hour. She now put her full attention to her book, sadly turning the pages, a frown cast upon her face.
Scrape.
Belle's face swept up and her eyes brightened when she heard this sound, and she tilted her head to find out who the newcomer was. Her frown immediately turned upside down when she found Adam, shuffling towards the return box. Then she heard Babette's voice sound from behind the reception.
"Adam, you are banned from this library. You should leave now."
Belle heard a muffled growl from Adam before the scrape of the door and then bliss silence again. Belle yelped in exasperation, and shoved her book down into her (this time) yellow bag and bounced off her seat, hurrying to the front door in a brisk walk, so as not to upset Babette with the sound of running feet.
"Bye!" Belle called quickly to Babette, who gave her a lazy wave, and Belle left the library swiftly, hurrying after Adam, who was quickly escaping in long strides.
"Wait up!" Belle called desperately, clutching onto her dress to prevent it from flying up in the wind. Belle smiled when Adam stopped in his tracks but did not turn around.
"You again?" he asked coldly, letting her catch up to him.
"Yes, me again." Belle quipped and took in a deep breath, "You are very fast."
Adam did not reply, instead the look of annoyance on his face grew stronger. Belle ignored this, and said, "This may sound silly, but I'd like to know you, Adam."
She specifically had used his name, instead of the cruel nickname given to him by people like Gaston.
"Well I don't." Adam spat reproachfully, making Belle wince.
"Ouch." Belle sighed, knowing this was going to be difficult and knowing very well Adam was going to be difficult. Adam was dead silent, only keeping his hands down his pockets and his eyes on the path ahead. Belle had to resort to a light jog in order to keep up with him. She found it hard to find something to say, but nonetheless, tried her best.
"You could slow down, you know?" Belle suggested desperately, soughting out his eyes.
"I don't want to talk to you. Stop following me." Adam growled, finally stopping and looking down at her fiercely with his blue eyes. Belle met his gaze bravely and she stood her ground, trembling very slightly.
"Don't you want to have a friend?" Belle asked, her voice leveling his.
"I don't need friends like you." Adam said, flinching when she looked him straight in the eyes.
"Maybe you do, because you need to change." Belle hissed, her hands on her hips, and her hazel eyes squinting slightly.
"And you are supposed to be the - saviour?" Adam spat.
"You can give me a chance, is what I'm saying!" Belle yelled back, her ears reddening in irritation and anger. She partially regretted saying that, seeing how stubborn and rude he was she almost didn't want to have anything to do with him.
"Feisty." Adam hissed, and shoved her away roughly, turning away from Belle and stormed in the opposite direction, quicker than the last time. Belle stumbled slightly, but managed to regained balance, and at once she shouted hotly, "You act like a two-year-old!"
"And you act like a ninety-year-old!" He retorted, turning his head slightly for added volume. Belle gave an animalistic growl, to her surprise much like Adam's and she fixed her hair quickly, before walking after him, her lips pursed to prevent her from continuing their pointless argument. Her fingers were practically tearing at her bag as she watched him disappear. What an idiot.

"So tell us how it went!" Kida urged Jane, as the three of them, Milo, Kida, and Jane sat at their usual spot under a birch tree outside the cafeteria, on the warm grass.
"How what went?" Milo asked, looking up from his textbook and food, that was all jumbled up in a mess on his lap.
"Jane's date with Tarzan." Kida sniggered, holding her hand over her mouth, and eyeing Jane sneakily.
"Oh." Milo said, even though he still had no clue what was happening, and returned to his book, more interested in algebra than gossip. Jane blushed bashfully at the mention of Tarzan's name and she pressed herself into the trunk of the tree, finding a way to answer.
"Well, truth be told, I couldn't find him. I-I think he must have lost his way to the cafeteria." Jane smiled, pleased to have an answer that would not further fuel Kida's oncoming questions.
"Are you sure?" Kida asked, bringing her face closer to Jane, the amusement evident in her blue eyes.
"Yes I am absolutely sure." Jane confirmed, grinning and pushing Kida away before she came any closer. Kida fell back in a defeated thump, a disappointed frown on her face, "Well that's a shame. How are you going to find him then?"
"I'll just wait. No fuss." Jane said in a dismissing voice, and she began to skewer pie on a fork.
"Any signs of John?" Kida wondered, looking back into the cafeteria, her eyebrows raised.
"Ooh, forget about him." Jane sighed, and added for good measure, "Wait, we are talking about Rolfe, right?"
Kida nodded in a silent response.
"I don't know." Jane said, mumbling as she chewed, "You'll have to go-"
"Hey!"
The pie flew out of Jane's mouth and landed on her lap in a sickening splat. Jane looked up and saw John rolling around in the grass, his hands clutching his stomach, as his body racked in laughter.
"I-I didn't e-even mean to scare you!" John wheezed in between laughs. Kida let out a giggle, and handed Jane a tissue. Milo looked at John, an unimpressed look plastered to his face before he looked back at his book.
Jane cleaned her skirt, and said, "I'd like to see you in a haunted house, John Rolfe."
John finally stopped laughed, and sat up properly, pulling his shirt back over his stomach, where it had rode up in his recent laughing episode.
"Aaah..." He chucked, "Best cousin right here..."
"I realise that when you are happy, I am unhappy and when I am happy, you are unhappy." Jane muttered, "And you become happy because I am unhappy."
"Well I didn't mean to scare you." John reasoned, still smiling mischievously.
"I'd believe you if scaring me didn't seem like you life mission." Jane let out a giggle, giving Kida a long glare when she made the smart decision to laugh again.
"So, hang on, who is this Tarzan I hear of." John asked Kida, as he leaned back into the ground.
"Don't you-"
"Jane's new crush." Kida chuckled, meeting Jane's furious glare.
"Why you!" Jane yelled, swiveling a fist in the air. John smirked at Jane, and amused expression now permanently on his face. How rich, Jane thought, when he had a gigantic crush on Pocahontas. Not to say that she had a crush on Tarzan. She had barely knew him!
Yet, her heart fluttered when she saw his familiar face inside the cafeteria, looking around searchingly.
"Hang on, hang on. I'll be back!" Jane excused herself and straightened to a stand, beginning to walk away as she lengthened her neck to peer over at him, as he navigated himself through the crowd. The last thing she heard from her friends was a muffled snigger.
She entered the cafeteria, waving her hands in the air slightly, trying her best to catch his attention. He sharply turned towards her, and almost immediately, Jane observed, his eyes brightened and he pushed his way through the crowd towards her with much haste. Jane smiled, and greeted him the moment he was within earshot, "Hello there, Tarzan! Where have you been?"

"Wow, this place is huge!" Rapunzel gawked, looking around her in admiration. She and her new friends stood in a ragged circle, looking around in awe at the school hall. There were towering pillars flanking them, and large navy blue curtains hung from the pillars, and at the front of the hall, in large inky black lettering, the name of the school. Merida, Anna and Rapunzel had very quickly agreed to go to wandering the school after classes officially ended that day.
So far, according to Rapunzel herself, people did not seem as bad as her mother made them out to be. Rapunzel looked down from the admirable surroundings, sighing slightly, remembering that her mother did seem to over-exaggerate sometimes.
"Hey. This is cool and everything, but where next?" Merida asked inquisitively, peering over Anna's shoulder at the school map.
"Who knew they had such a large hall? But why have a ballroom without any balls?" Anna exclaimed, throwing her hands in the air and accidentally hitting Merida in the nose.
"This isn't a ballroom. Geez." Merida sniffled, wiping her face on her sleeves.
"It feels more like one." Anna said dreamily, proceeding to skip around jovially with the map fluttering up and down in her fist.
"How would you know?" Rapunzel asked, her eyes widening as she watched Anna curiously hug a pillar.
"Because." Anna said smugly, "I've been to a ball."
"Congrats." Merida scoffed, crossing her arms and beginning to walk out.
"Wow!" Rapunzel gasped, her eyes now the size of tennis balls, "What was it like? I didn't know you could do that?"
"Oh, it was magical!" Anna squealed, dancing lightly past Rapunzel and pulling the map over her head.
"What else?" Rapunzel urged, following Anna as she leapt across the polished floor in a messy balle routine.
"There were dresses and suits!" Anna gushed on, fluttering her eyelashes and twirling clumsily, "And piles of food!"
Out of the corner of her eye she could see Merida slamming her palm into her face.
"Guys, please, let's go!" Merida urged, as Anna did a failure of a split in the air.
"Fine." Anna said grudgingly once she landed, flattening her map and following Merida out of the hall, her dreamy facade quickly disappearing after Merida had interrupted her.
Rapunzel stayed there for a while clutching her hands together and praying desperately that one day she would get to go to a ball. If Mother let her. She gritted her teeth,
"Hey." said a completely unknown voice. Rapunzel's eyes shot open and she instinctively threw a punch infront of her, a scream escaping her lips.
"What in the world-" Rapunzel looked down at her feet and there lay a broad-shouldered brunette student. He looked up at her, his eyes clouded. Rapunzel yelped and leapt back slightly, pushing him back to the ground.
"That wasn't necessary." he groaned, rubbing his cheek as Rapunzel pressed her foot into his chest, pinning him to the ground.
"Who are you and where did you come from?" she asked in an edged voice, raising a trembling fist in the air, her lips pouted.
"Hey, hey, hey." the boy smiled cockily, "I was here in the first place, but then you and your friends came. And can I just say..."
Rapunzel raised an eyebrow, raising her fist a little higher.
"Hiii." he said in a cocky voice, offering her a crooked grin. Rapunzel loosened her body slightly, sensing this boy most likely meant no harm.
"My name is Flynn Rider." he continued, "Call me Flynn."
Rapunzel stayed silent, contemplating whether to reply. The crooked, annoying grin persistently seemed to stay on his face as he gazed up at her, his eyebrows too raised, but in anticipation.
"Ok." he sighed, and gingerly pushed her leg easily off his chest. Rapunzel's eyes widened as he rose to his feet hesitantly, brushing off his jacket, a disappointed gleam to his eye.
"What do you want?" Rapunzel questioned, her fists shaking as he looked back at her.
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe not to be punched?" Flynn requested, shrugging, and fixing his hair in a vain manner.
"I don't trust you." Rapunzel added, her eyebrows now furrowed, as she stared at him suspiciously.
"Uh-huh." Flynn frowned, "You know what?"
"What!"
"Why don't we just part ways."
He pushed her gently out of the way, and walked past her awkwardly, his smooth demeanour vanishing. Rapunzel eyed him and followed him out cautiously, slowly beginning to lower her fist.
"Hey, wait!" she suddenly exclaimed, raising her hands infront of her and rushing after Flynn.
"Flynn?" she called softly, searching his face, "Can you show me and my friends around the school?"
"Uh, I am not a tour guide." he refused, "And I need to go anyway-"
"Then I'll tell you who I am!" Rapunzel offered, not even knowing why he would want that. He hesitated for a moment, but stayed stubborn, "Nah, no thanks. I don't really need your name."
"Well, if not..." Rapunzel stammered, and then she switched her face into a challenging expression.
"This!" she raised her fist again, gritting her teeth once more, snarling slightly.
"Haha, not going to work, sweetheart." Flynn chuckled, waving her fist away as he continued walking, clearly trying his best to ignore her. Rapunzel stood there, still yet again, feeling a small disappointed feeling tug at her.
Ok, that is IT for chapter 10! Yay... its ok I suppose. OMG I LOVE WRITING WITH BELLE SOOOO MUCH! Yasss. So, I didn't really have much left to tippety tap about, so I am going to end it here. But, this chapter is longer than usual, (like a tiny bit longer), as I promised at the start. Again, sorry for the late update, because I was kind of busy yesterday and the day before that (school). So, I'm ok with this chapter. I like Belle's part, and Rapunzel's part is so-so. Anna is basically from a really rich rich family, and a really important family, so she is pretty used to like fancy functions and stuff like that. Yeah... So, let me know if you have any requests for chapter eleven! (squeee) And I will see ya'll in the NEXT CHAPTER!
