A Heart of Gold A Heart of Stone (Complete)

Chapter Thirty

Anastasia sat at her desk in English, listening to Mother Gothel as she talked about fairy tales and wishes. The class had been silent, too silent. Kida turned over text book slowly she craned her neck to glance around the room, Hans was scowling at the clock, just like Gaston both loud mouthed bullies were quiet not muttering a word to each other not even causing a disturbance in the class. Kida bit her lip before turning her attention to the two empty seats. Coral's and Adelaide's. Adelaide had been asked to a meeting whilst Coral lay in a coma, Kida lowered her head as she felt a pain in her chest, a heavy weight filling her insides as she thought about the pirate, a piece of paper landed on her desk. She opened it slowly and began to read it;
Are you thinking of Coral or Adelaide? Love Elsa.

Kida began to scribble her reply, Elsa stared at her friend for a moment until she started responding and she looked around the silent English class. Vanessa had her head in her hands, silently crying Elsa believed as she watched the pale girls shoulders rise up and down. Nothing had been the same in school since they had been made aware that Coral had been put into critical condition, Elsa felt the paper land on her desk and she unfolded it.
Coral.... I have no idea why though, do you think she'll wake up? Adelaide hasn't been the same since she and Merida saw Coral. Love Kida

Elsa sighed softly, Gaston was staring out the window with his arms folded and Hans was absently rolling his pen back and forward. She wrote down her reply and shared a sympathetic glance with Kida,
All we can do now is be there for Adelaide. Love Elsa.

Kida nodded once she read the note and went back to taking notes on the class no one was listening to. Mother Gothel scanned her class room, giving a sneer at the blonde princess Rapunzel.
"Rapunzel, do you know the answer?"
The girl stared up and frowned at the teacher.
"I'm sorry Mother Gothel, my mind was somewhere else."
"On her prince no doubt." Helga hissed, looking up from her nails. Rapunzel stood up and whirled round to Helga.
"No one asked you Helga."
The class turned their attention to the two blondes and Mother Gothel placed her hand on her hip frowning.
"Well that took them long enough..." She thought, Helga raised an eyebrow.
"Oh come on Punzie, all you care about is your happily ever after, you don't give any thought to anyone else other than yourself."
"Excuse me! Where is this even coming from? Just because you're the bad guy! You chose that path! Or is this about something else?" Rapunzel bit her lip, Helga stood up.
"What was that?"
"... This is not about your dislike for us. This is about Coral!"
The class fell into an eerie silence. Gaston had finally looked at the two girls and Helga's mouth opened slightly.
"How dare you."
"Just because you feel guilty for not being there for her! For probably hurting her anyway! Just because you finally established that you care about her!" Rapunzel yelled, Helga lunged over the table full force at Rapunzel however she was tackled down by Hans.
"Stop!" He yelled as the blonde underneath him began lashing and screaming out, Rapunzel felt an arm wrap protectively around her, she sighed inwardly.
"Fal! Help!" Hans yelled, Facilier got up and walked to the front, however swiftly moved to the side when Helga kicked her leg up.
"Rapunzel what was that?" Flynn whispered.
"I- I don't know... I just suddenly felt like I had to blame someone for hurting Coral..."
Mother Gothel rubbed her forehead.
"Hans please get her out." She said, Hans twisted around as Helga scratched the side of his cheek
"Yeah sure... you try getting this one to listen." He finally managed to wrap his arm around her waist and haul her up onto his shoulder. She screamed loudly and began whacking his back as Facilier opened the door, he bowed at the students and walked out the door and closed it behind him. Everyone lowered their gazes, however Flynn and Rapunzel were staring at each other in shock.
"Since when did you care for Coral?" Flynn said quietly, she shook her head slowly in disbelief.
