Chapter 4:

Rapunzel's POV:

I walked to look for the bathroom again when I saw Hiccup and Merida in another room, holding hands. "Your eyes are so gorgeous." I heard Hiccup say.

"It's going to be so much fun." Merida said. I hid and they continued chattering softly. I peaked behind the wall. They must've heard me because they looked at me. My eyes widened and I took off. She ran after me, telling me to wait.

"It's none of my business, Merida." I said.

"Rapunzel, please." She said. I turned around. She grabbed my hand and took me to the dining room. "Please, don't tell Jack." She said.

"Don't tell Jack that he's being lied to by the two people he trusts the most?" I asked.

"It's more complicated than that." She said.

"It really isn't, actually." I said.

"Rapunzel, I love Jack. I'll always love him. Hiccup does, too. The three of us, we've been best friends since first grade. The last thing we want to do is hurt him. That's why we haven't told him yet. If he found out now, everything would fall apart. It would be like what happened in Camelot." She said.

I looked at her. "What did you just say?" I asked.

"You know, the story in Moore's class. When King Arthur found out that Guinevere and Lancelot were together..." She started.

"He lost all faith in everything and everyone, and didn't have the strength to go on." I finished for her.

"And Jack has so much at stake right now, with the championships and the scholarship. We can't destroy him like this." She said.

I looked at her as my eyes slightly widened. "We? I wasn't the one kissing Hiccup." I said.

A tear fell down her cheek. "Rapunzel, we didn't mean for this to happen. It just did. Hiccup and I are meant to be together. Haven't you ever felt that?" She asked. I didn't say anything but I kind of gave her a weak smile. "So, you won't tell him? You'll let us do it when the time is right?" She asked.

"I'll have to think about it." I said and walked away.

"Ra..." She started but I was kind of too far to hear her. I walked to the door.

"So you gonna tell Jack about Merida and Hiccup, or what?" Taran asked. I turned around and looked at him.

"How did you know?" I asked.

He was holding a sandwich and took a bite out of it. "I had a feeling." He said with a shrug.

"Never mind." I told him then looked at Jack. He looked at me. I looked and walked away. I looked back and saw Jack at the door, looking at me.

It was Monday and I was at my locker. I got my bag and was going to close it when I looked at the door. I thought I saw four knights coming towards me but it was really Jack, Hiccup and two other jocks. I saw Jack come towards me and I looked away. "Hey, Rapunzel! Hey, you took off so early from the party. Didn't you have fun?" He asked.

I closed my locker and I slightly saw Merida shake her head as she appeared next to Hiccup. I looked back at Jack. "I was feeling a little sick." I said.

"Oh. Are you okay now?" He asked.

"It comes and it goes." I said. I looked at the two then back at Jack. "I should get to class." I said and walked off. I went to Mr. Moore's dask and placed the book on top of the sack. "I brought the book." I said.

He turned around and looked at it then at me. "Oh, no, Rapunzel, you shouldn't have. I mean what I said about keeping it safe. It's far too valuable." He said.

"Mr. Moore, my parents said it's fine, as long as I bring it home with me tonight." I said.

"Say no more. I'll look at it right now and give it back at the end of class. Thank you. You've made an old Arthur buff very happy. Thank you, Rapunzel." He said, smiling and taking the book. I nodded and went to my seat. "Okay. Change in plans. We're watching a video today." He said. He set up the tv and video player up then sat down and opened the book.

We watched the video as he was looking through the book. "Below the tower, on the upper terrace of the castle, his son, Philip, the young bridegroom to be, practices his swordsmanship with his squire. Someday, he is to become the Lord of the Manor," The narrator on the tv started. I noticed Hiccup and Merida looking at me so I looked at them then looked back at the tv. "to whom the villagers will pay their homage, as he in turn honors his protector." The narrator continued. I felt another pair of eyes staring at me so I looked over and saw Jim looking at me. I shifted in my seat and looked back at the tv again. "Riding to battle with him is a vassal, in the tradition of the time." The narrator still continued.

I was focused on the film that when I looked to my right to see what was blocking the sunlight, I jumped to see Mr. Moore was standing there with the book in his hand. "The pages on the timing of the reincarnation were positively enlightening. Thanks again for bringing it in." He said, handing me back the book.

"No problem. And hey, if you ever want to talk Arthur, I'm sure my parents would be happy to hold you hostage. I mean, have you for dinner." I said, smiling.

He laughed. "Oh! Yeah." He said with a snort. "I may have to take them up on that." He said. The bell rang and he looked up. "All right, everyone. Out." He said and walked away.

I was getting my things when Taran spoke. "I don't know how things were at your last school, but around here, you can't get any higher than an A. So, you can stop trying so hard." He said, coldly.

"It's called being nice, Taran. You should try it, instead of hiding your insecurities behind your snark." I said, getting up and walking away.

"Hey, Rapunzel." Jack said.

"Hey." I said and left.

I went to my locker and opened it. I didn't notice Jim there until he spoke. "I know you know." He said, causing me to jump and look at him.

I stammered a bit then looked away. "Know what?" I asked.

He placed his arm on another locker. "That Hiccup and Merida are cheating on my jerk of a stepbrother. If you know what's good for you, you won't say anything to Jack." He threatened.

I looked at him. "I haven't said anything, and I don't plan to. But not because you're threatening me. I have my own reasons." I snapped.

"Oh. I don't care what your reasons are, just keep your mouth shut and stay out of my way. Or else." He threatened again, his face inching close to mine. He hit the locker, walked around me, closed my locker and walked away. I stood there, scared now. School ended pretty fast again, practiced for track, got home, had dinner and went out for a run. I was holding my hat to make sure it doesn't blow away again.

I didn't notice Jack running as well until I heard him call my name. "Rapunzel!" He said, stopping.

I stopped too. "Oh. Hi." I said.

"Hey, you've been avoiding me ever since my party. Did I do something wrong?" He asked. Okay. I hate lying to him like this but I couldn't tell him about Hiccup and Merida. Merida told me that she wanted to when the time was right. Jim's threats didn't help me so much either.

"No, no. It's just... You know, I've had a lot on my mind." I said.

"So, you're sure it's nothing I did?" He asked. No. It's just I can't tell you that Hiccup and Merida kissed each other behind your back and made me promise not to say anything. Oh! And Jim threatened me not to say anything either. I thought.

"No. It's definitely nothing you did." I said.

"Good. So, you wanna run with me?" He asked.

"Sure." I said with a smile. We ran together.

"What do you want to do? Like, three miles?" He asked.

"I was thinking five. If you can handle it." I said, running with him. I laughed as we ran. We were stilling running.

"Race you to the corner." He said, running faster.

"Okay." I said, running faster to beat him. We ran to the park then we slowed down to a walk. "Oh!" I said.

"You are seriously fast. Maybe we should draft you for next season." He said.

I laughed. "Oh, I'm not a big fan of shoulder pads." I said.

"Enough said." He said, walking to a little field of flowers.

I watched him pull one out and gave one to me. I took the flower and looked at him. "What's this for?" I asked.

"Nothing. I just thought you'd like it. It's no biggie." He said, smiling.

"Oh. Okay. Well, thanks." I said and started walking. I smiled and smelled the flower. We went to the tree that was in the forest, climbed up not too far from the ground and laid against the branches.

"It's weird. You're so easy to talk to. It's like..." He trailed off.

"What?" I asked.

"It's like we were already friends before we met. Does that make any sense? Never mind. It's crazy." He said, smiling.

I laughed. "No. No. I thought the same thing." I said.

"But I don't really know anything about you." He said.

"Well, what do you want to know?" I asked.

"What do you want to do with your life?" He asked.

I laughed. "I don't know. I'll probably end up doing something in law. I'm really big on fairness. I just...I can't stand people who think they can get away with doing something they know is wrong." I said.

"Like what?" He asked.

"Like people who cut in line. Seriously, they shouldn't even get what they want if they cut." I said.

"What, so if you're in line for a movie and I just got my ticket, and I was on my way to the very, very back of the link, I see you. Can I get in line with you?" He asked.

"Nope." I said.

"Wow. You're tough." He said.

"Tough but fair." I said.

"When I go into politics, that's how I want to be." He said.

"Is that what you want to do? Be a politician?" I asked.

"Not a politician. The politician. I'm thinking President of the United States." He said.

"Whoa." I said.

"Yeah, I know, it's crazy to even joke about it, right?" He asked.

"No. I can totally see it." I said.

"Race you back to school." He said.

"You're on." I said. We got down from the tree and raced each other to the school.
