The Girl You Never Noticed

Rapunzel
I walked up to the high school, my stomach starting to form butterflies. I had no idea what to expect from today. I hoped that this rumor was only heard by a fraction of the school.

I shook my head, trying to clear away those thoughts. Today was going to go well, no, perfect. I was going to spend plenty of time with my crush. If everything goes right, he'll find out that he's perfect for me and ditch Elsa and she can find out that's she's meant for Jack and everything will all work out. Only, I know it won't be that easy.

I took a deep breath and entered the school. As usual, everyone ignored me. That was a good sign. I peaceful walked to my locker as everyone brushed past me, trying to get a look at something in the lunchroom.

I rolled my green eyes and organized my locker for the day. Seniors didn't have to go to class, it was our senior privilege, which was just fine with me. "Hey, Punzel."

I turned around, looking into his blue eyes. "Hey, Jack!" I exclaimed as I pulled him into a hug. "Aren't you supposed to be with Elsa taking pictures?" I quickly asked, holding onto his shoulders.

"It's alright, Punzel," he smiled, brushing my hands off of him. "Elsa and I are taking pictures at nine." He explained as he fixed his shirt. I nodded my head, pleased with his maturity. Usually, I have to be the one to make sure he's on time.

"Good." I grinned, folding my hands against my chest. He cocked his eyebrow and waved his hand in front of my face.

"Ummm, Rap. You okay?" He slightly chuckled. I nodded my head, knowing I probably looked stupid right now. I could feel my eyes getting starry since I was so proud of him.

"I'm better than ever." I awed. He slightly scoffed and rolled his blue eyes. He shoved his hands into his pockets and led me towards the lunchroom. According to him, it was going to be the best meal the school would offer us all year.

"Would all class royalties please report to the lobby? Thank you." The secretary stated over the intercom. Jack and I groaned and quickly turned around. So much for the best meal at school.

We entered the lobby, seeing Elsa and all of her friends and their boyfriends. Wow, Jack and I really were the odd ones out, well, I was the odd one out. Jack was the best football player this damn school has seen in decades. "I'm so excited!" Elsa squealed as she jumped into a circle with her friends.

"Why don't you join 'em, Rap?" Jack whispered into my ear. I rolled my eyes and shoved him away, making him laugh. Sometimes, he was more of a pain than helpful.

I opened my mouth and raised my finger, about to fire an insult back at him. "Sup, Jack." Eugene greeted walking towards. I quickly plastered a smile on my face and slapped my arms to my side.

"Eh, not much," Jack replied. God, how could Jack sound so casual? I was so nervous just standing by Eugene and he wasn't even talking to me. My hands began to shake, my nerves building up.

"How ya doin', Blondie?" Eugene nodded at me. I felt my face heat up as his brown eyes looked at me. My lips started to tremble as I thought about what to say to him. Come on, sound normal! Just say hi!

"I'm do-doing great." I stuttered. He smiled as I pinched my eyes shut. God. I'm so stupid. I'm such an idiot. I can't even speak three words to him without sounding like a fool.

I opened my eyes, seeing them all look at me. Oh god, what did I miss now? "What?" I asked, hoping I didn't sound like an idiot, oh wait, I already did that. Oh god, what if I spoke my thoughts.

"I asked if you were nervous. Now I can tell that you're freaking out." Eugene grinned, cocking his eyebrow.

"Oh god, you have no idea." I fired back, not thinning about my response. As soon as it tumbled out, I placed my hands over my mouth and darted my eyes to Jack then back at Eugene. Eugene chuckled his million-dollar smile on his face.
