Chapter 13

Scene 1

"Don't you think its weird how John and Eric are hanging out?" asked Ariel as she watched her friend and her boyfriend talk at the table across from them

"No not really," said the other three girls

"I never see John anymore we haven't hung out in a couple of weeks," said Ariel

"It's because you're always spending time with Eric," laughed Jasmine

"Not all the time!" said Ariel," John is just hanging out with Eric all the time going to the game or watching the game. What is with guys and sports anyways?"

"I don't know it a guy thing I guess," said Belle dreamily as she stared out the window

"John is busy also with school work he has a lot of essays," added Pocahontas

"What he is talking to you but not me?" asked a jealous Ariel

"Um so Jasmine excited for are first taekwondo class tonight?" asked Pocahontas changing the subject

"I am so excited this will be amazing!" replied Jasmine

"Yeah but If I don't like it I am quitting," said Pocahontas

"Why are you doing it if you don't think you'll like it?" asked Belle

"She dragged me into it and pleaded," laughed Pocahontas

"It's not violent it's about knowing how to defend yourself," said Jasmine

"I'll see it when I believe it," said Pocahontas as she folded her arms

Scene 2

Stupid locker muttered Belle as she ran to class. It had to collapse on the day they were picking partners for the final English project. She was going to end up with some lazy ass slacker who would make her do the whole project. Though then she could make sure the project was done the way she wanted it to. But she hated giving someone else credit for her work. At least Adam had tried to help her even though he was really horrible at English. She kind of wondered if he had some reading difficulties. Although the problem with him was he was so unpleasant to work with. She tried to slip in without the teacher seeing her.

"Belle nice of you to finally join us," said the teacher giving her that disappointed look they always give when people are late

"I'm sorry but…" the teacher cut her off

"You are Adam's partner for the final project," said the teacher

Of course I am muttered Belle to herself. She looked over at him and he didn't seem too happy at the idea either. Well they were just going to have to make the best out of a horrible situation. She still thought that there was something more to Adam then he lead people on to believe. Also maybe she could help him read better he seemed to like English. This was going to be good she told herself!

After class Adam came up to her ," I am sorrrr," said Adam as he tried to get out the words

"The past is in the past, no hard feelings," smiled Belle

"Why are you so nice to me?" asked Adam who seemed surprised

"Why are you so afraid at the thought of having a friend?" Belle retorted back. Adam just stood their dazed at this girl's boldness," I have class but let's meet at the library tonight at 6."

Scene 3

Aladdin was unusually quiet all class. This worried Jasmine, had she done something wrong? "What's on your mind?

"Nothing," he replied absently

"I was thinking this weekend we could go see that new movie the Vow, I am in the mood for a chick flick if you don't mind?"

"Actually I have to go away for the weekend," said Aladdin

"Oh okay, you never said anything about your family going away."

"There not it's me and my dad there just something we need to deal with," said a vague Aladdin

"I hope everything is okay."

"Its fine," said Aladdin who did not look her in the eyes. The bell rang and he bolted out of class without even saying goodbye.

Jasmine walked out of the class feeling confused and worried. Why was being in a relationship so hard? High school boys were so secretive and fickle. The moment they won your heart they don't care about you anymore. She thought Aladdin was different or was she just over reacting? Maybe something was going on with him she shouldn't be getting mad at him. But it was not her fault he wasn't letting her in how could she help him when he just shut her out!

"Jasmine is you okay?" asked Ariel who saw her friend looking on the verge of her tears

"It's nothing I am just worried about Aladdin he wasn't really speaking to me in class and then he told me he was going away. And I am just worried he doesn't care about me anymore or maybe something is wrong but he won't tell me," ranted Jasmine

"I am sure everything is okay," said Ariel," Maybe he was just really tired and didn't realize he wasn't talking."

"Yeah I sure hope so," smiled Jasmine who was trying very hard to believe what her friend was saying.

Scene 4

"Hey Pocahontas so tonight want to check out the new rock climbing place that just opened up?" asked John

"I can't me and Jasmine is trying a taekwondo class tonight."

John just laughed

"How is that funny?

"I don't know it just you two don't seem like the ..." but Pocahontas cut him off

"Were not the type?" asked an annoyed Pocahontas

"No I didn't mean it like that," laughed John

"You're a piece of work you know that?"

"But I am quite charming," flirted John as he came so close that their lips could have touched if someone had pushed him.

"You keep telling yourself that."

"Admit you like it!" replied John and Pocahontas blushed

"Your full of it!" said Pocahontas who thought for a moment that he was about to kiss her

"Hey guys," said Ariel and the other two jumped back quickly," What is going on here?"

"Nothing," said the other two in unison.

"I have to go; Jasmine is probably waiting for me."

"John you got some explaining to do!" said Ariel

"What do you mean?"

"Do you like her?" asked Ariel

"Yeah she is great a friend," said John

"You know what I mean," said Ariel," It's okay if you do! I personally think you guys are perfect for each other.

"You do?" asked a disappointed John; obviously she had no feelings for him. He liked Pocahontas but he loved Ariel and not even the fact that she had a boyfriend seemed to change that

"John you're my best friend all I want is you to be happy so if it's Pocahontas who makes you happy then I say go for it!"

"I don't really want a relationship right now , want to go to the movies tonight?"

"I'd love that; we need to start spending more time together!"

"Yeah I kind of missed you," said John as he wrapped his hand around her shoulders as they walked out of the school.
