Chapter 15: Small Waves
As his first week of school came to an end Jack was beginning to notice that his new friends didn't seem to understand him when he said "Treat me like everyone else." But then again a lot of students around him weren't, and as much as he hate to say it Jack expected this. Never the less being treated like an outcast still made the teen feel a bit depressed. He walked out his apartment and turned to lock the door. As he did he smirked, "Morning Rapunzel." The girl's held breath deflated and the sound of a motorboat came from her flapping lips. He faced her and she frowned. "What could've possible given me away this time? I was quite, sneaky, held my breath and everything!" She stated passionately. Jack chuckled and shook his head, pressing his heel on the poorly carpeted floor. "Squeaky floor boards under the carpet, that and your heart was beating like a drum." He explained with a grinned and walked to the elevator. The green eyed blonde pouted looking at him go; she quickly fallowed behind as the metal doors opened.
As they walked to school Rapunzel looked at the wooden staff in Jack's hand and noticed he wore a pair of blue shades today. "Are you ok? Your eyes aren't hurting are they?" she asked her tone was worried though she tried to hide it. Jack smiled at her concern, "No I just put some medical eye drops in them earlier this morning and they need shade from the sun for a while. Once I get inside I'll take them off. "He explained and she nodded in understanding.
" And the staff?" She asked looking at the wooden hook. "You know how most blind people have walking sticks? Well this is mine. It's the same staff I used to save my sister. Plus I like the way this feels in my hands as appose to some artificial cane." Jack smiled at her while twirling the staff swiftly. Rapunzel took note of its value and asked, "But aren't you afraid it may break?" She looked up at him. He chuckled again and spun the staff face up to get a better grip. "That's the thing." He held the staff tight and swung it into a nearby pole. The harsh contact of wood to metal made an echoing ring. 'It's a pretty durable piece of wood." Rapunzel looked with wide eyes, "Wow." Jack laughed, "I know right?" After the light laughter faded, silence joined them as they walked.
It was soon left behind when Rapunzel spoke. "Umm Jack? I was wondering, you know after school, maybe if you're not doing anything... I could_ I mean Hiccup, Merida_ and I could show you around Berk?" "Although... I'm pretty sure you've already had your own little tour of the town. I was just asking because, I know we said we'd hang out this weekend, and where we're going I thought you might wanna know where you were going, or at least have an idea. Oh I mean_ Not that I think you won't know! I'm sure you already do but_" Jack lightly pressed his index finger on the blonde's lips. "If course I'd like a tour of Berk. I've walked around town a few times and gotta good layout of the city, but a tour from city goers would be more then helpful." The white haired teen smiled and removed his hand walking ahead. Rapunzel exhaled with a sigh, and jogged to catch up. Jack kept quiet as he listened to Rapunzel try and calm her heart beat down.
Jack couldn't help but smile at the girl's nervous behavior. It reminded him of his sister and how she acted the first year of him being out of the hospital, blind. Rapunzel seemed more concerned about Jack adapting to life in Berk instead of life in Berk adapting to him. Jack could tell she felt a strange comfort around him and he in turn felt the same. Rapunzel gave Jack a clear image of herself.
Emotions were Jack's key way of seeing. It was a little skill Jack's had since birth he could easily tone in on people's emotions and personalities; after he lost his sight this skill became very useful to the teen. The talent had a similar effect on Jack like playing the piano. It allowed Jack to express his emotions and see himself, while the emotions of others allowed him to see them. Rapunzel's friendly personality, and loving emotions were comforting and reminded him of home. Hiccup's neutral and weary emotions allowed Jack to see he had things to learn and teach. Merida's emotions were open, a bit overbearing and loyal, they reminded Jack of the challenges he would face, and how hard he'd have to work to get the life he wanted.
But even so with all these people that Jack could see, they couldn't see him. The only thing they saw was the white haired, blind kid. For the past week Jack Frost has been drifting in a sea with no current. Although he has a small wave that's slowly pushing him to shore, the teen knows he has to paddle the rest of the way. "Jack? Are you ok?" Rapunzel asked her voice slightly worried. But that small push is just as important as the paddle. Jack smiled down at her, "Yeah I'm fine, just thinking."
Hiccup and Merida met the two at the school entrance and the four walked to their classes. The school day went on at a quick pace for the teens. At lunch they all agreed it was a good idea to give Jack a small tour of the town. Unfortunately Hiccup couldn't join due to family issues, but Merida quickly took his place not wanting to leave Rapunzel alone with Jack. The white haired teen took note of it, but didn't allow it to bother him. After school Jack enjoyed the tour of the city and listening to the two female's converse about their past adventures in certain places. When Jack shown or told of particular places that interested him he touched the outer walls and corners of the buildings. After the tour Jack and Rapunzel walked Merida home. Once in their complex Jack walked Rapunzel to her apartment.
They stood at the door while Rapunzel looked in her bag for her key. Only to have the door opened and see her aunt, "Aunt Gothel? Your home?" The blonde looked with wide eyes. An older women with thick curly black and gray hair looked at the girl with a slight frown. "Rapunzel where have you been?! I was worried sick about you, after your mother called and told me you didn't answer the house phone or your cell." Aunt Gothel rambled and Rapunzel looked down with a hint of guilt in her eyes. She usually tells her mother of activities, but got so caught up in the moment that she simply forgot.
"I'm sorry auntie I was showing Jack around town. Oh he's our new neighbor, he lives right downstairs." She stated quickly, become nervous in seconds. Aunt Gothel looked to the handsome teen and smiled. The white hair was a bit of a throw off, but the older women could easily look past it with a face like that. "Oh my, How lovely. Charmed." Her voice purred as she held out her hand like royalty to the teen. Jack didn't like the overzealous tone of her voice, but gave a light smile and nodded, "It's nice you as well ma'am." Gothel frowned at the fact that he didn't take her hand.
Rapunzel saw that realizing she forgot an important part of Jack's introduction. "Oh and Jack she wants you to shake her hand," The Blonde chimed in. Jack gently grasped Gothel's hand and quickly let go. "Why on earth did you have to tell him Rapunzel?" Gothel asked glaring with suspicious eyes. The blonde struggled to find the words, "Oh well… you see…" So Jack helped, "Sorry ma'am I'm blind you see. Didn't really see your hand there." He said in a cool tone with a smirk.
A quick look of disgust flashed through Gothel's eyes, and she took a light step away from the boy. "Oh my your disabled, how unfortunate you poor soul." She said in an over acting, happy tone. Jack gave a silent "Hmph" remembering why he didn't take the hand that he clearly knew was raised to him before Rapunzel spoke. "Rapunzel Dear shouldn't you be walking him home instead!?" Aunt Gothel asked wiping the hand Jack shock off, on her dress. Rapunzel winced at the words her auntie spoke feeling horrible that she let Jack hear them.
"No, Ma'am I'm perfectly capable of walking myself home, but as a gentlemen I feel it would've been best to walk Rapunzel home first. Seeing that she's now home safe and sound, I think I'll be taking my leave. Goodnight ma'am, Rapunzel." He nodded to Ms. Gothel and smiled at Rapunzel.
She quickly responded with her worried tone, "Jack? I'll… See you tomorrow?" The question sounded weary, like she was questioning the continuation of their friendship. Jack chuckled, "Of course. You guys invited me to hang out with and planned something at that. I'd have to be foolish to say know. See ya tomorrow Punzie, say hello to Pascal for me." He waved before walking down the hall to the elevator.
Hope you guys enjoyed the introduction Gothel!
