Chapter 5Jack
It was probably around six o'clock when I began to put on my (shudder) tuxedo. I had decided nothing too fancy, just a normal black tuxedo, no tie, black pants, and white collared shirt. Manny handed me the keys and ushered me outside.
"You have a nice time son!" Manny called. "No drinking!" Well that's being a father for yah. He slammed the door shut and immediately turned on a game.
I chuckled, that is Manny. I looked down at the set of keys Manny handed me. The Lexus. Nice. I unlocked the door and I was about to sit down when a door shutting distracted me.
Over at Rapunzel's house was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. Her golden hair was in a braided bun on top of her head and her makeup was soft and natural. Her dress was green and floated from the knees to the ankles. Its layers on the skirt were blowy and ghostlike; the sleeves were loose and hung on her triceps. They glittered gold over the green. The top was bedazzled with topaz colored rhinestones.
My mind reeled as I realized that this was Rapunzel. A car drove up beside her and she bent down to talk into the window. As she stood, her eyes met mine and her mouth opened in a slight gape. Her green eyes were endless and the color of an endless meadow.
The person in the car said something and she spoke back. She held up her hand in a wave and so did I. A second later, Rapunzel was speeding away in a garnet ford.
Rapunzel
Merida left after her makeup was finished. She had decided to do her hair on her own. When I saw a car slow outside my house, I walked out to meet them. My dress was soft and silky, the glitter did not come off like a cheap dress, and the green heels were comfortable. When I saw the person in the garnet ford, I nearly walked away.
His name was Snotlout. He's one of the football man-whores. His cocky demeanor seemed to attract girls for some reason and he made out with at least two a day. He turns his attitude around as soon as he sees a teacher of some sort. No wonder Mother thought he was perfect for me, all his teachers think he is an angel.
"Hey babe, it seems that you're my date tonight," He leans back and has a creepy survey of my breasts.
I roll my eyes, "Yeah one of twenty," I mumble. He licks his lips still looking at my chest. "Hey," I point a hand at my face. "Eyes up here." He is oblivious to anything. I roll my eyes and look away but my eyes catch a certain Albino's. He looks breathtaking, though he had not done anything special to his features. His suit looked like the regular black tuxedo. He is staring at me too. Not my chest, me. My mouth falls open.
"Hey babe, can we go now?" Snotlout snaps me out of it.
I look back dazed, "Uh, yeah, sure." I open up the door and step in and Snotlout drives on. In the rearview mirror, I see a car pull out behind us some ways. I smile to myself. Jack. I can feel him staring at my head.
When we get to the High School parking lot, Snotlout gets out and immediately walks over to his friends. I am left in the car. What a gentleman. He leaves his date in a car and does not open up the door, I shake my head and step out. It is chilly this evening and I wrap my forest green shawl around my shoulders. His friends laugh loudly and punch Snotlout in the shoulder. The blonde surfer looking dude is Ruffnut and Tuffnut. I notice Merida walking in with a dorky looking blonde kid. Noting that Snotlout was still immersed in his conversation, I raced after Merida.
"Hey Mer!" I call. She turns and waves and I catch up to them. We walk into the darkly lit school and walk to the commons . In the corridor, there are blue and white balloons, snowflakes, and cardboard icicles hanging form the ceiling. I reach for a drinking cup and the punch ladle.
"Ah would nae take any of tha' vile stuff," Merida whispers.
I look at her dubiously, lifting the cup to my mouth, "Why?"
Merida smirks at my cup, "It's spiked."
My eyes widen and I spit out my mouthful, "With what?"
"Vodka. Senior Prank. E'en though it's kinda early," Merida nudges me with her elbow. "Yah gotta say it is hilarious."
I roll my eyes, "Yeah hilarious."
There is a disturbance in the small crowd and it parts like the red sea. Standing before me is not the Promised Land, its Jack. Beside him is Hiccup but I could hardly care now.
His eyes meet mine but are whisked away when Snotlout comes up beside me and pulls me close, "Hey you disappeared while I was talking."
I nod and search for an escape. Merida is off to the side with an annoyed look on her face. Ruffnut is trying to talk to her AGAIN.
Snotlout pulls me to the dance floor where a fast song is playing. I lose him in the crowd and I make my way back to the side of the commons. Merida storms up, her face in a raging mess.
"Ah told Dingwall that I would onl' escort him to and from the dance," She plops down next to me. "He never told me that Ah had to dance wit' him." I let her vent for a couple more minutes before I start to vent.
"Snotlout is at the moment eating a girl's face off, most likely," I say bitterly. Speaking of the devil, Snotlout comes stumbling out of the dancing mass, drunk off his ass. He makes his way over to me before he pulls me up into a hug.
"Hey there yah gouys. You look ssssoooo hot!" He slurs. "Tha' punch is ssssooo hard." Merida stands up and steadies Snotlout with me. He reaches down his hand and Merida yelps and jumps.
She slaps him, "Ya bas. Ah will rammy yah're ass. Yah'll have a blether with Jesus if yah ever do tha' again. Yah'll be deid you bam!" I drag way from where the drunken Snotlout lays. Her Scottish slang is coming out strong now.
"Merida! Mer!" I shout. She quiets down. "He's unconscious, you can stop."
She mutters, "What a bas."
"Dick," I mutter.
"Ah cannae believe that yah own mum let yah out wit' tha' boy," Merida whispers. "He's such a bam that Ah'm surprised yah're Mum dedn't know."
I look at Merida, she is still livid, "Well you have to remember, around teachers, he's an 'angel'. Around ladies he goes wild."
Snotlout, from where I can see, somehow gets to a standing position and staggers out of the dance. He has his car keys in his hands and my stomach drops.
"Great," I mutter. "Now he's going to drive." I say a quick bye to Merida and walk out of the dance.
Jack
I hang out behind the school next to a bush. Kelsey has been hounding me since I got here. Trying to dance with me, trying to sit next to me, and trying to make out with me. What a night. Nevertheless, when I hear a door shut beside me, I try to bury myself in the leaves.
"Snotlout!" A voice calls out. "You can't drive like that. Let me drive you home." I part the leaves and see Rapunzel making her way to the parking lot where Snotlout is staggering to his car.
"Don' worry 'bout it, Baby," He slurs. "I gots it. I'll drive."
Rapunzel sighs, "Snotlout, driving like that is illegal. You could be arrested. Or killed!"
Snotlout frowns, "Well yeh're no fun an' way." Probably with the fastest speed a drunken person could ever contain, Snotlout opens the truck door, turns on the car, and drives off with Rapunzel running behind.
"No Snotlout! Wait!" She cries. Even though she's a hundred yards away, I can still hear her say, "Damn it." I step out behind the tree and walk over to where she stopped in the parking lot.
"Are you okay, Rapunzel?" I ask. She nods numbly. I hate to see her like this. She always cares for others so much, even when they've been a total jerk to her. I lead her back into the dance. We walk over to the side of the commons. Inside there are lights flashing and loud music. We sit off to the side and Rapunzel stares into the crowd, lost in her worried state.
"Hey, do you want something to drink or eat?" I ask her.
She nods and says, "Water." I begin to walk to the punch table when she adds, "I wouldn't get a punch if I were you."
"Why?"
Rapunzel smiles knowingly, "It's spiked with Vodka." I stare. Slowly a laughter bubble makes its way out of my mouth and we both begin to laugh. I smile at her and make my way to the punch table. I grab two waters and go back to where Rapunzel is sitting.
Nevertheless, suddenly I am pulled out of the commons by an unknown hand, "What the hell!" We do not stop until we're outside. The culprit pulls off a hooded jacket and surprise, surprise, it is Kelsey.
"Hey Jack," She purrs. I look down and her dress is on the borderline of her ass and her thigh. It's latex-y black with some designs at the chest and the neckline goes LOW. Like Grand Canyon low.
"Oh no," I pinch my nose bridge. "Kelsey, you can't just pull me away from what I'm doing. Last I checked you're not the Queen of England."
She laughs, "Of course not. But then again, the Virgin Queen was one of my past lives."
I sigh and look up, "I can't believe this bull shit." I move to walk away but Kelsey's grip of steel is pulling on me.
"Where are you going," She growls. "This will only take a minute." She pushes me up against the wall and brings her lips close to mine. Not this again, I think to myself. With a bed of the knees, I'm free of Kelsey and because I'm not there to anchor her, she falls to the ground and kisses the dirt. She stumbles to her feet and I realized that she has had one too many punches.
She looks down and shrieks at the state of her dress. Dirt has become stuck to the latex texture and I could see some insects crawling along the designs. The dress did not fare from the fall. It is torn from her thigh to her hip, luckily on the side.
She screams at me, drunkenly, while she tries to hold the rip to her skin, "I can't believe how you pushed me to the ground, you bastard! Ugh, my beautiful, sexy dress!" She stamps her foot and squeals.
I sigh and walk away, water bottles still gripped in my hands. I find Rapunzel off to the side of the commons, her hair beginning to unravel from the braided bun. I hand one of the water bottles and we listen to the music. Avril Lavigne comes on and everybody leaves the dance floor.
"Well that's not nice to Avril," Rapunzel says. I notice a couple dancing together. Jonathan and Mavis. The hold each other and just move in a circle. I blush and look away. Does Rapunzel want to dance? Damn if she does, what will I say? I feel a hand slide into mine and I look to see Rapunzel smile at me. Her eyes are bright and happy and I smile back at her. I can feel butterflies but I try to squash them. I do not know why I do; I guess I just never liked the feeling.
Rapunzel
Jack's hand is still in mine and I nearly let out a nervous giggle. I am holding Jack's hand! His smile made my stomach flip and it was still flipping now. What he does not know is that I saw him with her. I saw how she lunged forward to his face. The way he just stood there. Nevertheless, I left before I saw the rest. Only, everything changed when I heard her screaming at him for pushing her.
I notice Johnny and Mavis out there still dancing with each other. I notice M. K. and Nod coming out to join them. A few others too. I wish Jack would ask, but then again I do not. What would I say? I take a sip of water with my free hand. They have moved on to an artist that I cannot identify. It has a slow sway to it though. The second time around I got the lyrics.
"Oh, I've loved you from the start. In every single way and more each passing day," I sing. "You are brighter tha-an the stars. Believe me when I say, it's not about your scars… it's all about your heart." Before I know what is happening, Jack pulls on my arm and I'm whisked up with him. I look up to him face for an explanation.
He whispers, "You want to dance?" The butterflies are exploding with nervous energy and my face has a bright red blush to it. I still have enough control to smile and nod.
Luckily, Jack is holding me up or I would have fainted into a puddle of happiness and fear. When we get on the floor, I wrap my arms around his neck and I lean my head against his right shoulder. His arms place themselves around my lower back. We sway to the slow song.
I am still smiling with happiness, so hard it hurts, when the doors bang open and I hear a slurred voice yell, "That's my date!"
Ooh cliffhanger. HAHA evil. Well thank you for your reviews and your follows. Because my Email is messed up, I cannot see who is following. Grr. Well I will have the chapter up by next Wednesday-ish. Bye!
