Jackunzel Drabbles (The Original)

Of Books and Babes (Part 1)

"Wrong ‘their’."

"Damn it."

"And you must include the source every time."

"Why? If I had a source at the beginning of the paragraph wouldn’t it stand to reason that its the same source for that paragraph."

The blonde gave the boy a look, her expression clearly stated that his logic was flawed.

"It doesn’t work that way. Go through it again."

His head made contact with the table in a dramatic flare, a resounding thud echoed in the library. Several patrons turned to look over at them, their annoyance plain on their faces. Rapunzel rolled her eyes at his antics. She honestly didn’t ask for anything that wasn’t mandatory. She ignored his sigh of defeat and turned the lap top back around to face him.

When she agreed to tutor the friend-of-a-friend, she didnt expect him to be such a baby. Honestly she expected a lot of hassle and stubborn indignation. What else does one expect when their asked to tutor Jack ‘Frost’ Overland? He was the captain of the lacrosse team and a grade A pain in every professors ass. His reputation proceeded him, every academic prayed their classes would be Overland free. But he was a student and with his acceptance to the university came the flirting, the sarcastic comments, the obviously fake attendance excuses and overall cocky attitude.

Now don’t get her wrong, he was smart when he tried. It was the getting him to actually try that was the issue. He was all about the parties and local pubs, sports games and pool halls. All play and no work. She found out that he had barely skated by at his high school with passing marks, but his SATs scores were exceptionally high. The school had forever regretted over looking his high school transcript.

It was her good friend Aster who approached her about him. They were both on the lacrosse team and Jack was one of their best players. The coach was threatening to cut him if he didnt get his grades up, if that happened his scholarship to the university would be null and void. Rapunzel had half heartedly agreed. She had him in a couple classes over the years and so far was not impressed. But Aster threw in some tickets to Disneyland and she felt a little better.

"This is stupid."

Rapunzel looked up from her romance novel at the boy. He had his head leaning against one hand while editing and scrolled with the other. He looked positively bored. She smirked, tucking her golden hair behind her ear,

"It’s worth 50 points." She said, turning a page, "Suck it up."

"Why do we have to learn this stuff again?"

"Because they’re making sure you get cultured."

"Because they’re stupid."

"Spell ‘they’re’."

Jack blinked his big blue eyes at her before giving a cocky smile, “T-h-e-i-r.”

"Wrong."

"Damn it!"

"Now shut up and do your work." She said with a giggle despite her best effort to keep a straight face. She felt a small tug on her hair and glanced up once more. Jack was giving her one of his lady-killer looks, his finger idly playing with a piece of blonde locks. His lips were quirked into his signature smirk, white hair messily sticking this way and that. She felt a blush rise to her cheeks, her heart beat quicken.

"And if I don’t?" His voice was a husky whisper.

Rapunzel felt the tips of her ears burn. She hated when he did this. The blonde looked at him with big innocent green eyes, she licked her lips and leaned forward a bit. The spark in his own eyes was evident. She reached out her hand towards him and he leaned forward in return.
