Chapter 3?Cx

~Rapunzel~

Hiccup Haddock, or "the Prince of our small towns most important founding family" as I like to tease him, and I stood in front of the school. As the top classes President, I had to spend the first week of school greeting freshmen and helping them if they couldn't find something. Hiccup had to stay with me too, simply because of his last name.

The Haddock family was like royalty, and continuously dominated the towns political figures. Hiccups father was our current mayor, and expected him to follow suit.

But Hiccup wanted to be a veterinarian, not a politician. Needless to say, because of this, his father and him did not get along very well.

We welcomed new students as they approached the building. Oh, The younger class men are so adorable! Eeeeepp!

"Hic! Look how cute they are! So little!" I squealed as quietly as I could manage.

Hiccup glanced my way, tried to hide a smile, and shook his head.

"Calm down, Corona." He rolled the sleeves on his button down shirt up to his elbows. "Where'd your friend? I thought I saw you pull up with that Merida girl?"

"Good morning", I smiled at a younger student. "Merida went to the library, probably to go back to sleep. Why?" I looked at him curiously. Wait, is he blushing?

Hiccup shrugged, and continued greeting kids. Maybe it wasn't blush, maybe he was just getting too warm..

---------

Only a few stray students were still wandering into the school after the bell rang. Majority of which I knew didn't need any help finding their way.

Hiccup, our friend Eugene or Flynn as he preferred, and I hung out out front. Hiccup and I had been excused of our 1st period class, and Eugene.. I don't know, shouldn't he be in class?

"Eugen-" I started but Hiccup spoke too.

"Hey, someone's laaate" he nodded towards a car that pulled into the far parking lot.

"Or maybe they don't have a first class, and are just early" I commented, watching whoever it was.

Eugene laughed, "Blondie, no one does that" I narrowed my eyes at him. "Besides you." He said, rolling his eyes.

I didn't bother answering him, I want to know who this person is!

I couldn't see much from this distance. He looked tall though, and his hair was..white? Odd, but it seemed to go great with his complexion, just like the blue of his shirt..

Whoever he was, he was definitely a looker. Walking with his hands in his pockets..

"Rapunzel!" Hiccup shook my arm.

Oh, my bad. I tried not to blush.

Hiccup smirked, "well, I was going to ask if you wanted me to go talk to him but I'm amusing you would like to."

I blushed. Hard. I'd been caught.

I rolled my eyes, "As if!"

"Fine, I'll go" Hiccup started to walk off.

"Wait!" I stopped him, "I- um, I should go. I'm friendly." True and logical reason, i smiled.

I hurried to catch the guy before he walked inside. Gently grabbing his arm, I got his attention.

"Pardon me." I apologized.

He turned around, and my god was I right about him being a looker.

His snow white hair was perfectly messy, he must have styled it that way.. Maybe that's why he's late, I had to hold back a giggle. Oh, and his eyes. They were so blue, the kind of blue that sparkle and shine in such a way that I was having trouble not getting lost in them.. He was a piece of art. Total art.

I continued to admire him while trying to get my words out properly,

"I'm Rapunzel Corona, senior class president. Are you..um, new here?"

I tilted my head slightly, looking him over.

He didn't answer, just stared at me looking confused. Oh my god, what if doesn't speak English? Or if he's deaf? I know alittle American Sign Language but not nearly enough.. OH! Maybe he has schizophrenia, with catatonia! I bit my lip. I'm being ridiculous. I shook my head, clearing my thoughts.

Maybe something's just wrong, and he didn't hear me? He did turn around though..

"Are you okay?" I asked, smiling slightly.

He seemed to come back to the moment then, he eyes brightening.

"Sorry, what did you say?" He smiled.

His voice was beautiful. His smile was beautiful. Goodness gracious, he was beautiful!

His smile made me smile more, "Its alright, but anyway", I held out my hand, "I'm Rapunzel Corona, senior class president.

His hand met mine, and I could have sworn I felt sparks. Alright, maybe I didn't. This isn't a fairytale after all.

He smirked, "Jack. Jack Frost."

Jack Frost? Maybe the white hair was a sarcastic gesture then.

Tilting my head slightly, "As in Father Winter, Jack Frost?"

He chuckled, and bowed sarcastically, "the one and only".

I giggled. Cute, and funny! Ugh, I should have let Hiccup talk to him. My focus is shoot.

Focus, Rapunzel! "So, Jack, you're new here. Correct?" I asked, pushing a runaway hair back behind my ear.

He nodded. "I'm also late", he added looking towards the school.

"Oh! I'm so sorry, I've been keeping yo-"

"It's fine", he laughed. "I was already late"

His laugh is like music. It seemed to harmonize with the wind. I couldn't help but giggle too.

"Oh, good". I smiled, "I'll get you a pass so you don't get marked late"

Jack smirked, "I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship, Rapunzel"

My name coming off his lips, I think I'm addicted to the sound...

"Punz!" Hiccup slapped a hand onto my shoulder, "you're taking an awfully long time to greet..."

"Jack" Jack looked between Hiccup and I.

"Jack," Hiccup greeted cheerfully. "Punz has definitely seemed to take a liking to youu. I don't think I've ever seen her talk so long with a stranger before"

I blushed, and nudged Hiccup. "Jack Frost, this is Hiccup Haddock." I said quickly, hoping Jack wouldn't think too much of what Hic had said. It's not like I was spending extra time with him...

Jack looked towards the school. "Haddock, nice." he nodded approvingly. Then looked towards me, opening his mouth to say something more.

Still blushing, I pretend to look at my phone "O-oh! I've actually gotta run. Hic, get Jack a hall pass, kay?" I turned and quickly escaped into the building.

Great. Barely one conversation, and I've made myself look like a dumb wonderstruck teenager... I need some paint therapy, like now.

Should I do more in Jacks point of view, or Rapunzel? I'm going to open it up more to Merida and Hiccup too. Slowly but surely!
