The Girl You Never Noticed

Rapunzel
I ran up to the door. It was a little past 8, but I figured that girls wouldn't mind. I mean, they are never on time for anything, well, besides Elsa. She's never late for anything.

I quickly rang the doorbell, slightly rocking onto my heels. Oh boy. I felt like I was going to throw up again. Elsa made me feel so useless and weak. Anything she said went. If I drank a bottle of whiskey straight, then I did. If I kissed her boyfriend, I kissed her boyfriend.

But that last one wasn't really a lie.

That was the truth.

"Hey, Rap," Anna greeted, opening the door. "They're downstairs."

"Thanks." I quickly replied, rushing towards the basement. I was going to be the last one to show up. And they were all totally going to call me out on it.

As I was racing to the basement, I bumped into the wall. "Sorry." The wall spoke.

I jumped, surprised. I glanced up, seeing Kristoff. I remembered Elsa talking about Anna and Kristoff being friends. And the fact that Anna was in love with him. All of this was too much information for me.

"It's no big deal." I nervously chuckled before I scooted past him and pounded down the stairs.

All of their eyes landed me. "Geez, Punz. I thought you were a pack of elephants by the way you stomped down the stairs." Aurora declared.

"Gurl, why are you in such a rush? Calm down." Jasmine waved away.

"Yeah, come join us. Relax." Cindy smiled, patting a seat beside her.

I softly smiled, taking a seat beside the annoying blonde. Okay, so I was slightly intimidated by her so I wasn't going to say no. "How's your afternoon been?" Elsa asked, looking up from her phone.

"Oh, ya know. Average." I nervously chuckled, my hands placed neatly on my lap. I didn't want to do anything that might possibly upset them. After all, if I screwed up, they'd make sure to tell everyone. It would be the end of me for sure.

"Same here. I just wish it was May already. Then we could be graduating and live our lives." Jasmine said, twirling her dark hair around her finger. I softly smiled, nodding to agree. Graduating at this moment would be so much simpler.

"I still can't believe we fucked up our stunt today at practice. We've had it perfected for weeks now. Why'd we have to mess up in front of coach?" Aurora groaned, slightly pouting as she furiously typed on her phone.

"I know. That was the last thing we needed. Now she'll never let us perform it at the next game. That was our one chance and we fucked it up big time." Cindy agreed as she clicked her phone off and tossed it onto the ground.

"We'll get another chance next week. It's not the end of the world." Elsa said, clicking her off as well. "It just really sucks that we're back to doing our boring ass stunts."

"For real. I'd rather not stunt at all than do what we're going to do next week. Coach is a moron." Aurora said. She let out a deep sigh, glancing over at me. "Sorry, Punzie. I'm sure none of 5is makes any sense to you considering you're not a cheerleader like us." She smiled.

But I couldn't feel anything out coldness behind her smile. It didn't feel welcoming or understanding. I'm fact, it felt more like she was pitying me or making me feel so much lower than her.

"Yeah. Sorry, Punzie." Elsa shrugged. "We'll talk about something else now."

"Like what? Our boyfriends?" Jasmine scoffed, rolling her eyes. "That's probably just as boring as cheer. Besides, it's not like Punzie would even want to talk about Jack. She never talks about him."
