Club 23 - Chapter V - The After Thought
The next day Phoebus woke up feeling…refreshed. Refreshed is odd considering the fact he barely got any sleep. Why was he feeling this way? was it because of the long, long convo he had with Esmeralda… surely not. As soon as Phoebus was thinking that, he heard a knock on his front door. It kinda startled him, but decided to go downstairs anyway to check. So he goes and checks the peephole and notices that it's just his best friend Quasimodo. He opens the door for him
"Hey Quasi…wha-, what are you doing at my house so early?", he says perplexed because he had just woken up
"So early or so almost late" responded Quasi
"Wha-, what do you mean 'almost late'?", Phoebus says still perplexed
"Phoebus, class is about to start in about ten minutes!" Quasi exclaimed to get his friend's attention
"Oh shit, really!?" Phoebus' mind is racing now
"Yes, really, hurry up and get dressed!"
"Oh Alright, let me get something nice to wear, don't go anywhere, okay!"
"I'm not going anywhere, take your time, but be cautious of time", his friend warns him
Quasimodo waits outside Phoebus' front door for him to get something to wear for today. Phoebus is going all over his wardrobe trying to look for something somewhat decent for today and he settles for shorts and a graphic tee with Captain America on it. He then grabs his bag and shows Quasimodo his outfit.
"So how do I look?", says Phoebus with a hint of unsureness in his voice
"Hmm…It'll do for today, it's so weird seeing you in shorts though, when's the last time you ever wore them?" Quasi commits
"Don't have the slightest idea, anyway, let's get walking, don't want the both of us to get late?" They both chuckle and begin to walk to class. They start conversing
"I probably know the answer, but I'm inclined to ask", says Quasimodo, "How did you sleep last night?" he continues
"Well, as if you can't tell by how I am functioning at the moment, half of that sleep wasn't sleep at all"
"Really?" said Quasimodo, "I know I was up all night trying to get the designs for the castle right and by the way, you got the photos… right?"
"Yes, yes I got the photos, by the way, it's looking killer awesome", says Phoebus reassuring his friend
"So, yeah that's what I was doing, what were you doing?"
"Remember when I told you I was going to text Esmeralda"
"Yea"
"Well…"
"Oh my gosh Phoebus, you talked for Esmeralda for that long!?", says Quasi who yelled a bit too loud because it was so unbelievable to him
"Yep and we touched on a variety of topics"
"Oh…"
"Relax, me and her didn't get into deep deep stuff"
"Okay, cool"
"Yeah, chances are I'm most likely going to the gym with her this Saturday, wanna join?"
"Sorry can't, this Saturday, remember I'm going to the Tree of Life festival with Pocahontas, remember."
"Oh that's right", says Phoebus who rubs his forehead, "Hope you two have fun, maybe we could swing by later on if we have time"
"Sounds like a plan", says Quasimodo when they both arrive at class, "By the way, aren't we supposed to go bowling on Saturday?" he added
"No, that's next Saturday"
"Oh ok, right, just making sure you know"
"Yeah I do, well Quasi nice talk, see you during lunch"
"Yeah, you too," said Quasimodo when he and Phoebus went their own separate ways to be seen again with the rest of the friend group during lunch
Some time has passed and it is now lunch, the table layout is on one side Aladdin and Pocahontas, in the middle are Phoebus and Quasimodo, and on the other side directly in front of Aladdin and Pocahontas are Esmeralda, Megara, and Flynn. They are all doing their own things, which is mostly nothing. They see some people pass by
"So gang, how was class for you all today?", said Flynn
"Boring as usual", says Aladdin and everyone nods their head in approval
"Okay, 'boring as usual, does anybody else have anything to say about today", Flynn asks again his friend group
"Nope, like what Aladdin says, boring, boring, with more boring on top of that", said Esmeralda in which she and Quasimodo glanced at each other and chuckled a little. After that, she looked up in Phoebus' direction and noticed that he was off, clothing-wise
"Oh my goodness", she said in an observant tone, Phoebus this is not you, this is not how you dress", she continues
"Flynn now looks over to see Phoebus wearing a graphic tee and shorts"
"Yea man, if had to poke fun at myself, this is something I would wear as a replacement outfit" With Flynn's statement the whole table a laughing a little
"He's actually right about that", says Pochantas, "We never let him make funny comments, but the only times he flips the script are at birthday parties or occasions just as this one" she continued
"Yeah, now that we are mentioning this, why the shorts and the Cap America t-shirt", said Aladdin
"Well to make a long story short, I woke up too late and Quasi was standing at the door waiting for me to get dressed and ready for classes"
"Hmm…I could see how this makes sense" said Esmerlada, So what we learned from her is that Quasimodo is a really great best friend"
Esmeralda and Quasimodo locked eyes a small bit and smiled. Esmeralda added "And also, Phoebus style isn't half bad, in fact, it looks kinda cool"
"Phoebus' eyes get bigger when she said that
"Thanks, Esme, really appreciate it"
"No problem, Phoebs"
After that exchange with the group, they go back to doing their ordinary things and not minding anyone's business. Everything's calm until two people pass by. Flynn is the first to notice and whispers to himself
"Rapunzel… is that really her, man I haven't seen her in a minute, is that Jasmine walking with her…cool"
The rest of the group starts to notice her arrival and are a bit surprised that she went along with it hair change
"Hey Blondie", says Flynn with Rapunzel having his full attention
"Well, first off Flynn, who can't call me blondie, since I dyed my hair pink" she responded and laughed a little, so did Jasmine who waved hello to Aladdin and to everybody else. She then sat down with him they had their own private conversation
"I know, it's just boring calling you Rapunzel, In fact, it's boring calling anybody by their full name, you know"
"I know, so have you been going to class recently?"
"Surprisingly, Yes, which is weird because my friends literary make fun of me because of it"
"I bet they do, speaking of, hey you'll", says Rapunzel who waves to all of them, well all of them except Megara who was deep into a new read, and Flynn notices
"Meg!" He shouts, "Say hi to Blondie"
Meg then lowers her book and says hello and briefly chats with her
"Rapunzel, long time no see! how's everything"
"Pretty good, I see you got a book in your hands, the bookstore that Belle works at is still open?"
"Yep, you should check it out"
"I'll think I will go and say hello to her if I ever get the chance"
"Plus, I really like your hair, the light pink with the blonde works very well and your hair has gotten longer"
Rapunzel smiles, "Thanks and I know right!"
"Ever think about cutting it off?"
"Hmm…not now, but we shall see"
"Well it was nice catching up with you, your welcome anytime with us" Megara smiled then
"Aww, thank you" Rapunzel smiles back, Jasmine stops talking with Aladdin and gets up"
"Punzie, we gotta go or we are going to be late for class", she says. Jasmine then goes and hugs Aladdin goodbye and she and Rapunzel go say goodbye to everybody.
"Well it was nice talking to everybody, see you soon", said Rapunzel
"See you soon…bye", was said by the group, but Flynn said something to himself after she left
"Hopefully later on in the day", Esmeralda then hears his murmurs
"What was that Flynn?"
"Umm…nothing," said Flynn nervous
Esmeralda being suspicious says, "Hmm…right"
Flynn tries to divert her with, "OMG, is that Naveen?"
"Nice try Flynn, but that's not going to work"
"No I'm being serious, he's coming this way"
Esmeralda sees Naveen coming her way to the group table and doesn't know what to do, It's like she doesn't mind if Naveen flirts with her because she can be flirty back, and she likes the back and forth, but yet again she's trying to find if there's any reason why the two of them should date. Meanwhile, Phoebus, going back to the text conversation, notices Naveen and just honestly wishes he doesn't make a big move on her. However, he just minds his own business and that's how this plays out. He approaches Esmeralda now. Phoebus talks to himself
"Here we go"
