Belle walked to a brown colored cottage home, it had a grey stone path that lead to the front door and green bushes with purple colored baby breath flowers. There was butterflies flying near the bushes, it looked like a picture out of a children's book. Belle would have never guessed this was Adams house. It was Tuesday after school and the science project was due Friday. Belle sighed as she walked to the front door. She knocked gently then waited for someone to answer the door. To her surprise it was Chip that answered it.
"Chip? What are you doing here?" asked Belle.
Chip looked at her in confusion, "Belle I live here."
"Chip sweetie who is that at the door?" a woman's voice boomed from inside the house.
Chip let Belle inside the house. The living room was a sky blue painted room with dark blue couches, there was a wooden coffee table with a picture of a family consisting of a women with grey hair in a bun and a purple dress. Her brown eyes were big with a loving touch in it. There was Chip hugging her in the picture with a big smile and at the right side was Adam. He didn't show any expression. There was the same dark look in his eyes, the same dark eyes that she met the first week she moved to Neverland High.
"Oh you must be Belle!" The same women that was in the picture was walking to Belle. She wore the same purple dress, but was holding a wet dish towel and wore a small apron. "We've been expecting your deary."
Belle felt like she had walked in the wrong house, but the picture was proof that this was Adam's house. Adam's mom showed her to the couch.
"Adam will be here soon, would you like a spot of tea?"
"Oh yes thank you." Belle sat down on the couch. Chip sat next to her.
"Lovely! I'll be back in a minute."
Belle looked at Chip, "Chip you live here? You're Adams brother?"
"Step-brother." Chip corrected Belle. "Me and Adam aren't very close so we don't really tell people at school. His dad married my mom."
Belle was shock. Chip and Adam were very different so to learn they were family was surprising. Just then Adams step-mom came in the room with a tray of tea. Belle thanked Chips mom and grabbed a cup of tea.
"Oh we've heard so much about you Belle. Please call me Mrs. Potts." Mrs. Potts took a seat on the other side of Belle.
"Oh really?" Belle couldn't think of any reason why Mrs. Potts already knew so much about her.
"Yes Adam talks quite a lot about you." Mrs. Potts said with a smile. Belle raised an eyebrow in confusion then took a sip of her tea.
"Is that so?" Belle asked. Just on time Adam came in with a brown paper bag full of groceries. He closed the front door then saw Belle on the couch with his mother and step-brother.
Without any emotion or change in his facial expression he said "You're here a bit early. I thought you were coming at six."
"Well I didn't want to stay too late." Belle put her now empty teacup down on the tray.
"Oh Adam you're home!" Mrs. Potts got up with the tea tray and walked to Adam. Chip got up also to help Adam with the grocery bag. Adam motioned Belle to follow him upstairs.
"Adam dear thank you for getting the groceries!" Mrs. Potts yelled from downstairs.
"No problem mom!" Adam and Belle walked to Adams room that had a simple wooden carved sign on the door that said "Adam" in bold letters.
Adams room was dark with little light from the windows that were covered by blue curtains. It had a blue covered bed with a messy pile of papers and Adams backpack, it had a big full bookshelf with many colorful books, and a red circle rug in the center.
"Make yourself comfortable." Adam threw off his jacket and left it on a chair.
"You and Chip are step-brothers?" Belle asked.
"We don't like bringing it up at school," Adam turned to her and sat next to her on his bed. "Besides its not really anyone's business. Let's just get started on the project."
Belle took out her folder from her backpack and gave Adam a paper full of notes she wrote down. While he looked over it she took a good look around his room. It had a calm and dark aura. The walls had a few family pictures, art paintings, and a calendar.
"Your mom is very nice." Adam continued to look at the notes.
"She said she's been hearing a lot about me." Belle mentioned. Adam looked up and for the first time Belle saw him look slightly embarrassed.
"She...said that?" Adam asked.
Belle didn't know why but now her cheeks were getting red. "W-well is it true?"
Adam was too red in the face to answer but then a playful smirk crossed his face. "Of course." Adam got close to Belle's face which made her nervous. "I tell everyone what a pest you are." Belle's eyes narrowed.
"Let's get started on you project." Belle thumped Adam away and snatched her notes back.
Ariel was signing up for the school sale. She was writing her name and the group of friends that wanted to help when a hand with a purple manicure shoved her aside to sign their name. Mal was writing her name big and in cursive. Then in a smaller size she wrote Grimhilde's name.
"Hey I wasn't done!" Ariel said. Her red hair was tied up and bounced in anger.
"Calm down squirt, our names are way more important then yours." Mal tossed the blue pen back to Ariel who caught it and her colorful bangles scattered on her arms.
Ariel pushed passed Mal to finish signing the sign up sheet. "Why would you want to sign up to help the school?"
Mal flipped her long black hair that was let down. Her purple leather jack matched with her black tank top with bedazzled stars on it. "My father thinks it'll make him look good as mayor of Walt town. It's a waste of time, but to my dad its good publicity."
Ariel's eyes widened and her red lips turned into a "O". "Your dad is mayor of Walt town?"
Mal scoffed and she bit her black lips. "Of course you dumb sea head. Don't you know anything about Walt town?"
Mal's father had been mayor for some time now which made Mal known around Walt town. She couldn't care less about her family's publicity or how bad she made her father look as mayor or a parent. Mal's father focused on his job and reputation only which strained their relationship. Mal was bored of Ariel already and walked away.
"Hmph!" Ariel looked back at Mal as her long hair swayed with her hips. She turned to the sign up sheet to finish signing it. She was happy to help with charity especially along with Jasmine, Snow White, and Esmeralda.
Jasmine was walking away from her locker after getting her English book. Suddenly she felt a strong pair of hands grab her shoulders. She gasped then turned around to see Aladdin with a silly grin on his face. "Aladdin you startled!" Jasmine gave Aladdin a playful punch in the arm.
"Late to class again I see." Aladdin snatched the English book away from Jasmine and held it high. Jasmine was a few inches shorter then Aladdin and he made sure to remind her.
"Just a few minutes late." Jasmine said as she tried getting her book back. "What about you?"
"Eh I decided to skip that class today." Aladdin tossed the book back to Jasmine. "So much talking and work."
"Haha that's the whole point of a classroom." Jasmine slipped her book in her school bag. Aladdin picked up Jasmine to get the English book back. He tickled her till he heard her laugh, he loved hearing her laugh and watching her smile. It made his heart skip a beat. They noticed that Aladdin had his arms around Jasmines waist. She turned over to see his smile and bit her lip.
"Jasmine..." Aladdin stopped himself from leaning in closer to her. He moved his arms away from her. He made sure to keep his distance from her to ask her a important question. "Jas..um we're really close friends right...practically best friends." Aladdin looked at the floor then back to Jasmine.
"Of course, I wouldn't want it any other way." Jasmine said with a smile.
"Really? You wouldn't want it any other way?" Aladdin said. His heart sank a bit.
"No, I mean why change a good thing right?"
"Oh yeah right. You're right." Aladdin said.
Jasmine noticed Aladdin look sad. "Did you want to ask me something?"
"Oh..um..no no not all." Aladdin gave her the English book that fell out of her schoolbag. "I'll walk you to class."
So obviously Aladdin wanted to ask Jasmine about their relationship. It's short but I think this covers what's going on in these few chapters coming up. I'm gonna have fun writing them since the ideas are just rolling out of my mind. I liked the moment with Belle and Adam and Jasmine and Aladdin. It didn't take me long to think of them. I'll try focusing on more characters later though that I just give little attention to. And I hope making Adam and Chip step-brothers was a good twist. I wanted them to be related, but not actually related.
Goodnight and I hoped you enjoyed it.
