The next morning, Al was making himself breakfast when his phone went off. He carried his plate over to his kitchen table and sat down reading the text message from Jasmine.

J: Hey meet by the bike shed b4 school?

Al replied that he would be there in twenty minutes and finished his breakfast. He rinsed his plate, brushed his teeth, and strung his backpack over his shoulder as he walked out the door. He was just about to get in his car when someone called his name. He turned around to see his neighbor Wendy. "Hey, what's up?" he asked her as she caught up with him.

"Well, I heard about that new girl at your school was having a party and…" she was fidgeting with her jacket sleeve.

"You want to come?" asked Al as he caught up to what she was asking. "Why you have fun at home?"

"I'm home all the time!" she whined. "I'm home-schooled! I never get to do anything fun! Please take me to the party."

"I don't know, you remember my friend Jasmine?"

"How can I forget? She spilled her lasagna all over me freshmen year."

"And that's the reason you're home-schooled now."

"How many times do I have to tell you, my mom liked the idea of me staying home to help around the house."

"Yeah, okay."

"Whatever. Please, please take me. Jasmine doesn't even have to see me. Just drop me off and text me when you're ready to leave. Please!" Wendy was practically on her knees.

"Alright fine."

"Thank you!" Wendy hugged Al and waved bye as he left for school. As he drove to school he thought of when Wendy first moved from England freshmen year. They met in school and were becoming fast friends until she became home-schooled. They still talked but not as much. As he got lost in his thoughts he arrived at the school and parked to meet up with Jasmine.

Jasmine was scrolling through Instagram as she waited for Al. Eric had posted a selfie of him with Jim and Ariel. The caption read, "Mall fun with Jim and Little Red!" Jasmine laughed to herself as she saw Al walking towards her. She quickly liked it and put her phone in her bag.

"Morning, what did you want to talk about?" asked Al as he greeted her with a hug.

"Our bet," said Jasmine folding her arms.

"Getting cold feet? Think you're gonna lose?" asked Al forming a big smug on his face.

"No. I actually wanted to talk about the requirements. Like if you win I have to go to the dance with you, but if I win you buy me an expensive dinner."

"Yeah so what's wrong?"

"Um…well…uh…t-the…th-thing…" Jasmine looked down at her feet as she struggled to get the words out. "Its not that hard just ask him if he wants to go as friends or on a date. Simple. Piece of cake. I still haven't said anything haven't I? Calm down. Just blurt it out. Like ripping of a bandage. Nice and quick," Jasmine thought to herself.

"Come on Jaz, what's up?" Al asked confused by the silence.

"I just wanted to know…" Jasmine paused. "If you were prepared to lose!" She finally blurted. She bit her lip as she waited to see what Al was gonna say.

"Oh, I see," Al finally said.

"What?" asked Jasmine nervously.

"You called me here to try and psych me out. Well it's not going to work. I'm gonna win this bet, but nice try," Al said as he walked away.

"Damnit!" exclaimed Jasmine.

After school Ariel practically broke down the door with excitement. Mulan would be there any minute and she couldn't wait. She sat down on the couch starting on her homework as she waited. She looked at the charm bracelet she received from Mulan before she left. She couldn't help but smile remembering that moment.

Flashback

It was Ariel's sixteenth birthday and she was opening up gifts from her family. She just opened up the gift from her dad.

"A music box!" she squealed with excitement as she hugged her dad. "Alright I think that's all of them."

"Not quite," said Mulan as she held out her present to Ariel.

"Mulan, you didn't have to," said Ariel as she unwrapped it. It was a small box and she opened it to see a beautiful charm bracelet. "Oh my god! Mulan, I love it." Ariel hugged her best friend.

"I'm glad. I found it at this jewelry store and I thought of you. It has a charm with sea creatures and you can also add on to it. Like this one." Mulan turned the bracelet to show one that said, "Best Friends Forever"

"I love it! Thank you!" Ariel pulled Mulan into another hug and this time she didn't want to let go.

End of Flashback

The doorbell rang and Ariel jumped off the couch with excitement. She raced to door and flung it open with a squealing Mulan on the other side. They hugged each other and stayed like that for a few minutes. Ariel finally broke the hug and led Mulan to her room. "I've missed you so much! How's life? Anything new?" asked Ariel as they sat on her bed.

"Um, life's good. I have great friends and um a boyfriend," Mulan responded blushing.

"Oh my god! What's his name? What's he like?"

"His name is Shang. He's really sweet and he's into martial arts so he does have some nice muscles if you know what I mean."

"You go girl!"

"What about you? When are your friends gonna be here?"

"In a few hours. Enough time for us to catch up."

"No boyfriend? Anyone you like?"

"No, but you remember Jim, right?"

"Jim Hawkins? The one you dated a while back?"

"Well, he goes to my school, and he helped show me around."

"Wow, does he like you still? I mean are you going to get back together?"
"Oh, no! I'm focusing on swimming remember."

"Right Miss No-Time-For-A-Relationship," Mulan smirked.

"But I did hear this rumor that someone was going to ask me to the dance at my party tomorrow. But I have no idea who it is."

"Riiiight," Mulan said sarcastically.

"What?" Ariel asked raising an eyebrow.

"How are you so clueless?" Mulan sighed. "It's obviously Jim."

"What? No. He told me himself it wasn't him."

"Oh, my god. Again you're clueless. He was trying to throw you off the trail so you'd be surprised when he does ask you." Ariel stepped off the bed and started pacing around the room. "What do I do?" asked Ariel.

"First, calm down. Second, I think you should say yes." Ariel looked at Mulan like she was crazy. Sure Jim was nice and sweet but she was focused on her career not a relationship. "Mulan you don't know what you're talking about. We broke up forever ago."

"Still. Listen, just go with him to the dance, see how it goes, and then decide what you want to do. You were really happy when you were with him. Just give him a chance before you push him away." Ariel thought for a second. Maybe Mulan had a point. Plus, she wouldn't hurt Jim if she said no. She turned to face Mulan.

"Alright. If he asks me, I'll go."

End of chapter! So Ariel thinks Jim is gonna ask her to the dance and Jasmine can't quite seem to get the words out. So it's time for questions:
How will Jasmine react when she finds out Wendy is going to the party? Will Al really win the bet? Will Jasmine ever ask Al if he wants to be friends or more? What do you think Mulan will think of Ariel's new friends? And lastly, how will Ariel react when Eric asks her to the dance?
Be sure to review and let me know what you think will happen next.
