New chappie! Yeah! Please review!

School had gone by pretty quickly. Ariel texted Eric arranging to meet at Smoothie King in the mall. Charlotte and her had just finished shopping for party stuff when she was heading that way. She got there a little earlier than Eric so she ordered and sat down at a table. She was flipping through Instagram when she noticed someone hovering over her.

"Hey, Ariel what are you doing here?" Ariel looked up to see Jasmine.

"Oh, hi Jasmine. I'm waiting for Eric. We planned to meet here. What about you?"
"Al is making it up to me. You know, since he missed the coffee cart yesterday."

"Oh, that's sweet of him." They stayed there in silence, until Ariel decided to break it. "So have you been flirting with him yet?"

"What! No!" Jasmine yelled. "Why would I be flirting?"

"Don't you want him to ask you to the Winter Dance?" asked Ariel.

"No." Ariel stared at her. "I mean, even if he did, he would expect us to go as friends," Jasmine admitted.

"You don't know that. I have a feeling he may like you to."

"Look, I appreciate you looking out for me, but it's not going to happen. I'm happy just being friends."

"Alright." Ariel took a sip of her smoothie as Jasmine went to the bathroom.

"Ariel, did you see where Jasmine went? I saw her talking to you," asked Al coming over to the table.

"She just went to the bathroom," responded Ariel.

"You mind if I sit with you until she gets back?"

"Go ahead." Al sat down.

"So, just decided to get a refreshment?" Al asked laughing.

"Well, Eric and I arranged to meet up, but I'm a little early."

"Okay, I thought you were stalking me."

"Stalking you! I have way better things to do than keep up with your boring life."

Al gasped, "You think I have a boring life?"

"Not trying to be mean, but yes I do."

"Well now I know your not stalking me because I'm a real wild child."

"Oh okay. Anyway you coming to my party on Friday."

"A party?"

"Yeah, it's what fun people go to. You know people with exciting lives."

"I know what a party is, and you can expect to see me there." Then Jasmine came out of the bathroom asking, "What are we talking about?"

"Ariel's party, and how I'm definitely going to show her how much of a badass party animal I can be," said Al nearly shouting.

"No offense, but I have to agree with Ariel, you don't really have an exciting life," Jasmine said.

"Not you too. Alright I will prove to you guys I can be a badass exciting person."

"And how are you going to do that?" asked Ariel folding her arms.

"On Monday, everyone will be talking about me. Get ready to bow down bitches." With that he walked away.

"Do you think he can do it?" asked Ariel turning to Jasmine.

"I don't know, but I better go after him," said Jasmine heading for the door.

"To calm him down?"
"No, he's my ride home."

"Oh okay, see you later." Ariel waved has she saw Eric walking through the entrance with Jim beside him. "It's about time you guys showed up," Ariel said.

"It's 6:00, the same time you told us to meet you here," said Eric showing Ariel the time on his phone.

"Oh, right." Then Eric's phone went off. "Who is Vanessa?"

"Oh, that's no one," Eric said as he answered the phone and walked out the door.

"She's Eric's ex-girlfriend who won't leave him alone," Jim said to Ariel. "She is kind of crazy, but Eric still puts up with her." He and Ariel sat down at a table as Eric walked back in.

"Sorry about that," he said. "Ex-girlfriends can be so clingy."

"Only yours," said Jim, which made Ariel giggle.

"Anyway, changing the subject, Ariel I heard your party is going to be killer," said Eric sitting down.

"Yeah, well, I feel like Lottie is planning the whole thing. I know she wants it to be an amazing party, but she could cut down a little," said Ariel.

"Well, if you need any help setting up let me know. I'll be happy to help," said Eric putting his arm around Ariel.

"Thanks, I'll let you know." Then Eric raised his smoothie.

"Cheers to Ariel's first year at Disney High," he said.

"Uh, Eric, we haven't even ordered yet," said Jim raising an eyebrow.

"Than who's smoothie is this?" asked Eric.

"Mine," said Ariel.

"Oh, sorry well raise your invisible smoothie cups, and cheers," said Eric holding out the cup.

"Cheers!" they all said clinking their invisible smoothie cups.

Back in the mall parking lot, Jasmine had caught up with Al. they jumped in his car and started driving home.

"So I'm guessing you're excited for Ariel's party?" asked Jasmine breaking the silence.

"Hell yeah! I'll show you the party animal inside of me," said Al.

"We'll see," said Jasmine folding her arms. "Besides even if you were a "party animal" you couldn't more badass than Eric. Now he's a badass."

"Please, I can show him up."

"In your dreams," Jasmine said with a chuckle.

"Alright how about we make this interesting. A bet?"

"Interesting rules?"

"At the end of the night, we have everyone vote on who they think was the best party person. If Eric wins, I have to take you to that fancy restaurant you like and pay for everything."

"You mean the one where you have to pay like one hundred dollars just to get some garlic bread?" asked Jasmine.

"That's the one."

"Okay and if you win?"
"You have to go to the Winter Dance with me." Jasmine stared at him in shock.

"I have to go to the dance with you?"

"Well, if you're so sure you're going to win then don't worry about. Have we got a deal?" Al held out his hand. Jasmine thought for a minute then finally said, "Deal."
