Chapter 3

"Please!" Merida begged at breakfast,"Please just describe to me what he looked like."

Rapunzel rolled her eyes and slammed her spoon own on the table," Would you stop?"

"No!" Merida laughed," You saw Overland butt naked! I want details!"

Rapunzel laughed and hid her smile behind her hand. What the hell? "Okay... Fine, what do you want to know?"

"Is he hot?" Merida raised her eyebrow.

"Yes", Rapunzel nodded and smiled.

"Is he all pale, like all over?"

"Yes", she laughed.

"How's his ass?" Merida's eyebrow raised.

Rapunzel sighed at the memory," Amazing..."

"I'm so fucking jealous..." Merida frowned and then looked like she remembered something," So what was with last nights game?"

"I know right!" Rapunzel yelled," What was with Aurora and her team?"

"That's not what I am talking about..." Merida shook her head and Rapunzel looked confused," What are you talking about...?"

"They eye sex Overland and you were doing?" Merida laughed at her friends look of befuddlement.

"What are you talking about?" Rapunzel asked.

"Your whole little cheer of drop em' down, roll em' whatever blah blah", Merida reminded her," I saw you two just staring at each other and smiling."

"I don't know what you're talking about", Rapunzel went back to eating and tried to change the subject," We need to start practicing for the opening of From Cradle to Grave."

"Nice subject change and yeah, we do", Merida nodded," Why not after classes today practice?"

"Okay", Rapunzel nodded, but then grimaced," Ugh! I forgot... I can't."

"Why not?"

"Stupid Overland gave me detention", Rapunzel told her.

"Why?" Merida asked in shock," You never get detentions. You are like, the perfect student."

"Tell me about it", Rapunzel rolled her eyes," Because I may have made an innapropriate suggestion as to what he was doing in the shower last night."

Merida roared with laughter and Rapunzel laughed with her. Merida looked to the teachers table and smiled at Rapunzel.

"Looks like us laughing captured the attention of one chemistry teacher", Merida told her. Rapunzel looked up and saw Overland look away quickly. Rapunzel looked back at Merida,"I just don't know his issue with me..."

"Maybe he has the hots for you", Merida suggested.

"Please", Rapunzel rolled her eyes," He's a professor and I'm his student. He probably is just taking an interest because he wants to be closer to his students."

"Say whatever you want, but he and I don't have eye sex everyday", Merida laughed as her friend turned red.


"So what do you want me to do Professor?" Rapunzel asked as she walked into her chemistry class.

"Ahh Miss Corona", Overland greeted her," Better late then never, I see."

Rapunzel looked over at the clock on the wall," I'm 2 minutes late."

"Punctuality is very important", he scolded her. She rolled her eyes and walked over to his desk. She decided to change into her comfy clothes. Just plain jeans with a white v-neck shirt and her black converses. Her hair was unwashed and piled in a bun on top of her head and she wasn't wearing any makeup.

"I'm sure two minutes is fine", she huffed," So what am I doing?"

"Tonight you will be labeling bottles and then organizing them by color on the shelf to your left", he explained to her and pointed on a shelf on the wall. She sighed and started to write down what they were on their labels.

"So what were you doing in the locker rooms last night?" she asked, as she labeled them.

"Really? We're not past that?" he told her, his head still down grading papers.

"Well you just never answered me last night so I'm trying again", Rapunzel told him.

"I'm grading the freshman's papers", he told her.

"Oh well that's simple", she told him," Just give them all C's."

"How would you have liked that if a teacher did that to you?" he laughed at her, looking up at her for the first time and her breath caught. Flynn never had this much of an affect on me...

"Oh, I wouldn't stand for it", Rapunzel shook her head and relished in his laughter.

"So what were you doing in the locker room last night?" she tried again.

"You should be labeling those bottles", he told her, looking down at his papers again.

"I never stopped", she told him and smirked," I don't really need to think hard to do this."

"This is detention. You're aren't supposed to do intellectual tasks", he told her and then sighed," I was practicing lacrosse before the game and I wanted to take a shower before going to my quarters.

"Why were you practicing lacrosse?" she inquired.

"Because it's how I stay in shape", he informed her," I enjoy it."

"Why didn't you become a lacrosse player?"

"Because I made some bad decisions along the way and it just didn't work out in the end", he explained to her," Besides, I've always wanted to be a teacher anyways. I always loved chemistry."

"What do you like best about chemistry?" she asked him, peeking through her eyelashes at him and held her breath. His eyes were just so intense. So hypnotic.

"The reactions", he told her, staring right into her eyes. She needed to get a grip on herself. 'What if he has the hots for you?' Merida's question lingering in the back of her mind. Impossible she told herself. He was her professor and she was his student. Besides the fact that his was highly against the rules, she just wasn't... special. There were tons of other girls that were more interesting, prettier, more experienced.

She swallowed and nodded her head, pushing all of her insecurities to the back of her mind. She all of a sudden got inspiration for a new song and waited for him to look down at his paper before pulling out a pen and writing on her hand quickly since she didn't have paper.

"What do you want to be?" he asked her out of the blue making her forget her insecurities.

"A musician", she said flatly.

"Really?" he looked surprise," I imagine your parents aren't happy about that."

"No", she laughed and smiled," They don't know. They think I'm going to become a nutritionist."

"How bleak", he joked and she smirked," What do you play?"

"Well I have a band", she told him, hoping to peak his interest. Apparently she succeeded," Really? I didn't know that. What are you guys called?"

"The Drowning People", she told him and his eyebrows raised.

"Really? That seems rather dark", he commented. Rapunzel shrugged," It suits us."

"Why does it suit you?" he asked, leaning back into his chair.

She sighed and raised her shoulders and then lowered them," I don't know. Have you ever just... Feel like you're just so under pressure? Just no matter how much you try and you try and you try you just can't get there. Like I try so hard to suceed and be friends and be nice to everyone and just sometimes, it feels like I can't reach the surface. Like I'm drowning in all of it. I am a drowning person. Hiccup, Merida, and I are The Drowning People."

Rapunzel looked down and worked silently. She could feel him looking at her, but she didn't want to talk to him anymore. She can't believe she opened up to him like that. She didn't open like that to anyone. Her deepest feelings out in the open like that. She could feel her cheeks go red and she was mad at herself.

She took the risk and glanced up at him and he was bent back over his papers. He kept running his hands through his hair and at one moment, his hair stuck up everywhere. She couldn't help but laugh at his hair sticking straight up.

"Something the matter?" he glanced at her.

"No", she shook her head and smiled, organizing the bottles on the shelf.


Finally after what felt like hours she was finally done.

"I'm done", she walked over to his desk and stood before him and bounced up and down on the tips of her toes.

"What are you all fidgety for?" he asked with amusement.

"Because I'm already really late for rehearsal and I wanna make it for the last bit", she told him," We have a lot of work to do before we open."

"Who are you opening for?"

"From Cradle to Grave is coming here this Saturday and we are opening for them", she bragged.

"Wow", he gave her a toothy smile," I'll have to see you guys, but anyways, you're free to go."

She quickly turned around and was walking out of the classroom when Overland called her.

"Oh, Miss Corona?" he yelled out to her and she turned," Some advice, watch your mouth in the future."

She smiled and ran all the way to the band room and was greeted with Merida and Hiccup playing.

"Hey Miss Smiley", Hiccup greeted her," You're in a good mood for someone who just got out of detention."

"Because she had it with Professor Hot Pants", Merida made fun of her and wiggled her eyebrows," You two do it yet?"

"Ha ha", she sarcastically laughed," I am in a good mood cause I have a new song I want to learn so we can play it on the concert."

"Lay it on us then", Merida smiled and twirled her drum stick in her hand. Rapunzel passed her paper with the lyrics sloppily written on and began to think about her detention with Professor Overland. She didn't know when it happened, but she knew she had a crush on him and she decided then, she was going to have some fun with him.


Rapunzel was actually pleasantly happy when she walked into her chemistry that class. She was actually excited to see Jack again. When she sat down in at her desk, she was happy that he smiled at her. To her, it meant that he was at least thinking about her and that made her stomach do flips.

Students filed in and Merida was just happy that Rapunzel was finally admitting to herself that she had a crush on their Professor.

"So guys", he smiled at them," We are going to be doing-"

Rattle, rattle, rattle.

He looked at his desk and frowned, but turned back to them," Anyways, we are going to be doing-"

Rattle, rattle, rattle.

"What the hell is that?" he turned and walked over to his desk. Rapunzel's heart dropped as she realized what it was.

"No Professor! Don't!"

But it was to late. He opened the drawer of his desk and a punching mit shot out and hit him right in the forehead. He stumbled backwards and hit the board behind him. But what everyone was looking at was right across his forehead was written 'The Drowning People' in permanent ink.

Rapunzel was the first one who giggled and he frowned at her. He grabbed a mirror out of his desk and rubbed his forehead and realized what it said. He glared at Rapunzel and hissed," Detention. This Saturday."

"No", Merida whispered and grabbed my knee.

"Professor, I-!" Rapunzel yelled after him, but he was already walking out of the room and towards his quarters.


Nothing Rapunzel did worked. She tried to explain to him that she didn't put it there and ya, they were going to prank him, but she didn't plan on this. He didn't listen to her at all. Just slammed his door in her face and didn't even budge.

So now she was sitting in Miss Gothel's office pleading with her.

"Please Miss Gothel, you have to explain to him!" she pleaded," The concert is that day! Any other day. I will do double - no! - Triple detention!"

Miss Gothel sighed," Rapunzel I will see what I can do, but I can't garuntee anything."

"Thank you!" Rapunzel smiled," That's all I ask."

"But if he doesn't budge, I can't make him. He's your Professor. You need to respect him", she told her.

"I know. Thank you."

Rapunzel couldn't move. She just laid on her back and recalled the events that just happened.

Rapunzel was sitting in the dining hall when Miss Gothel walked up to her. She looked up with hope in her eyes, but one look at her and her heart sank.

"I'm sorry Rapunzel, but he says no", she informed her," Your detention will resume this Saturday at 8 o' clock."

"Miss Gothel-"

"Rapunzel, you need to take responsibility for your actions", Miss Gothel told her.

"Miss Gothel!"

"Rapunzel, consider this a lesson", she told her, but even she could see the pity in Miss Gothel's eyes.

She watched Miss Gothel walk away towards the teachers table and her eyes landed on that asshole. He was looking at her, no, glaring at her, and then looked away. She stood up and walked out of the dining hall, slamming the doors behind her.

She sighed and rolled over in her bed, letting her tears fall against her pillow. She thought that he would understand. He has been so friendly towards her, even flirtatious... She felt stupid. She thought he might have even liked her, but she was right since the beginning. He acted like a friend until he turned on you. He had stolen her dream and she was never going to forgive him.


So there it was. Things are finally going to go farther between the two in the next chapter :) Keep reading and review!
