Thanks to everyone for the great reviews. This is my first fan fiction and I am having a lot of fun with it. At this point I am really turned between Ariel and John and Ariel and Eric. I first decided to put John liking her as drama but I find myself liking it. I never really thought of ever going out of the original couples but I don't know now. Tell me what you think if you like Ariel and Eric or Ariel and John. So here is my next chapter I hope you enjoy
Chapter Three
Last chapter Ariel and John were at the theatre and ran into Aladdin and Eric, a very awkward situation. Jasmine found out her mom was moving away for a job. She was about to tell her friends but then she chickened out and said she liked this boy name Charles who is now dating Cindy.
"And Charles is a idiot for choosing Cindy over you," said Belle
"Yeah I guess I am really tired I am going to go home," said Jasmine as she grabbed her coat and ran for the door. She couldn't hang around them she felt too guilty about lying.
"I have never seen her so upset before," whispered Pocahontas into Belle's ear
"Especially over a guy this just doesn't seem like Jasmine, she is normally so fierce and independent," replied Belle as Pocahontas and her watched Jasmine leave with a worried look
"I think that was the best Harry Potter movie yet," exclaimed Ariel with her eyes full of excitement and a huge smile on her face. She was so full of excitement that she twirled around and ran into Eric arm's and let out a giggle. She paused for a moment and looked into his eyes and then backed away embarrassed at what she just had done.
"So what are you guys doing after this? Want to go for ice cream, my treat," offered Eric looking right into Ariel eyes
"No I think I will pass," said John who couldn't take watching the two of them anymore
"Oh I guess I will pass than too," said a disappointed Ariel who was really bad at hiding her feelings.
"I said I will pass Ariel, go if you want to go so badly," snapped John
"But...," said Ariel
"Just go! I can tell you want to, "John said sincerely
"I am a bit beat too! I think I will pass to," said Aladdin
"How will you get home than?" asked a concerned Eric
"I will bus or walk, I am not stupid you know I can get home by myself," said Aladdin
"Okay I guess I'll see you at home," said Eric as him and Ariel walked away
Jasmine couldn't bring herself to go home so she just kept walking and walking. Her thoughts were running all over the place. She couldn't believe she just lied to her best friends. But she couldn't tell them it was just too hard. She still hadn't really accepted that this was happening. Deep down her thought that her mom would change her mind and stay. And if she told her friends then maybe she wouldn't change her mind. It would make it all seem so final telling people. She started to cry she was disappointed, angry, sad, and confused all at the same time. The tears started to come down faster and faster and they couldn't stop. She saw a shadow coming towards her.
"Are you okay?" said a familiar voice
Earlier John was trying to sound like a good friend and make her think he wanted her to go with Eric. But he was hurt and really jealous. He hated that he was jealous of Nancy pants like Eric but he had Ariel affection. He knew she only did that giggle when she was nervous and liked someone he had witnessed many. But this was different the guy liked her back and she is older it could easily develop into a relationship. He couldn't tell her how he felt though it could ruin their friendship and that is the last thing he wanted. He had to learn to be okay with it but first he would need some time away from her to get over it. He walked on the bus and sat down and put his head down on his lap.
"John?" said a familiar voice
"I just love chocolate ice cream when I was younger my dad would come home from a long day at work and take me and Aladdin out for ice cream. It was the only time we spent quality time together because he was working so much. I guess that why I like chocolate ice cream so much it reminds me of that feeling," said Eric and Ariel just smiled she looked very distant ," Am I boring you with my babbling sometimes when I get nervous I just start to babble. See I am doing it now."
Ariel laughed," No I like hearing you babble. I am just worried that John is mad at me. "
"He said he was fine with it he was just tired."
"I have known him my whole life he was not okay with it I can tell. I just feel so awful I think I have been neglecting him lately. Meeting all these new people, I am so selfish, thinking of myself over him. I just really wanted to hang out with you because ever since I met you I have been fantasizing spending time with you," blurted Ariel who then turned bright red then started to laugh, "Now I am the one babbling."
"No I like to hear you babble," smiled Eric and Ariel smiled back
Jasmine heard the familiar voice and looked up it came closer and revealed to be Aladdin. She tried to pull herself together and coolly said," Fine."
"Really? I never thought a person crying meant they were fine," said a sincere Aladdin
"I am just going through some things, I am sure you don't want to hear about them all."
"I have time."
"Oh hi Pocahontas," said John as he looked up
"Wow you hid your disappointment well," said Pocahontas sarcastically
"It has nothing to do with you I am just not having the best day."
"Sometimes when I have a bad day it helps me to talk to somebody," said Pocahontas as she stood up and started to walk away
"Wait doesn't go."
"It's my stop though," said Pocahontas as she walked off the bus
"I had fun tonight. I haven't really met any friends here since I moved come," said Eric as he pulled up to Ariel's drive way
"Yeah me too," said a giddy Ariel she had never had so much fun before. It is not like she had never hung out with a boy before but this seemed different. These feelings she was feeling were unreal, "Wait did you say friends?"
"Yeah aren't we friends?"
"Yeah friends," said Ariel as she shook his hand, she wasn't sure why she did that. She was trying to hide the fact that she was disappointed, John always said she was an open book who anyone could read," Well I better go." She ran out of the car and tried to sneak into the house quietly
"Ariel was that a car you came out of. Who was that guy you were with. You know my rules about cars and strange boys," yelled Mr. Triton
"Were you spying on me?" asked Ariel
"Do not take that tone with me one lady. This is my house I can spy on my own daughter if I want to," said a exasperated Mr. Trition
" I am almost sixteen I am not a little girl anymore, I can make my own desicions." Said Ariel as she ran upstairs and slammed the door
