Chapter 5
Rapunzel's POV
Soon everyone had arrived and we were all crammed into our dorm. Jack looked so handsome. Even though he was just wearing his blue hoodie and brown pants. He was still leaning on his staff. "Okay everyone!" I shouted. "Out the door and to the theatre." We all walked to the movie theater a couple of blocks down. When we got to the theater, we all decided to watch a comedy instead because we were afraid we would get scared. We agreed on 'Here Comes the Boom', and we bought our tickets. Well, the boys bought our tickets despite us trying to buy our own. We grabbed some popcorn and we all ordered Coke. This time we beat the boys to paying. We took our seats in the theater. Hercules then Megara, Jack, me, Snow, and Ferdinand. Jack and I put the popcorn in the middle so we could share. Somewhere in the middle of the movie, I reached my hand out to grab some popcorn, and Jack's hand brushed mine. We pulled back and I blushed, silently thanking the theater for being so dark.
Jack's POV
We just brushed hands and we both pulled away. I could feel myself blushing. I remembered something me and Hercules had talked about earlier.
*Flashback*
"When we sit down, pretend to yawn and put your arm around her shoulder casually." Hercules instructed. "What!? Are you insane?!" I shouted. "I can't do that!" "Aw c'mon." He whined. "It's easy. I do it all the time!" "Yeah, but you're you!" I shot back. "All the girls like you." "Well, I guess that's true." He said. "But just promise you'll try. Please?" I sighed, "Fine, but if it backfires, I'm blaming you."
*Flashback over*
I sighed silently thinking it over. Alright. I guess it couldn't hurt to try.
I slowly yawned and wrapped my arm around her shoulders. She seemed to jump a little at first, but the she snuggled a little closer. She smiled at me. I smiled back as she moved the armrest up a little and laid her head on my shoulder.
Rapunzel's POV
I jumped a little as Jack yawned and laid his arm on my shoulders. I couldn't help but smirk. I bet Hercules taught him that. Considering Hercules did that to every girl he watched a movie with. I smiled up at Jack and he smiled down at me. I slid up the armrest and laid my head on his shoulder as he pulled me closer. I sighed. He was very charming in my opinion, regardless of Hercules lousy teaching skills. He wasn't too cocky or smug either like most guys. He respected my space. Unlike someone else I knew.
*Flashback*
"Give me a hug and a kiss. Now." Flynn was on the verge of yelling. "No Flynn. I don't feel like it." I pulled away. "He grabbed my shoulders firmly. "Now!" "Never!" I shouted. "Never?Never?!" He was livid. "Don't you love me?!" "No, I don't! Not anymore! I thought you were sweet! But you're not! I realize now." I yelled back. His face twisted in anger. He slapped me across the face. I raised my hand to my cheek tears streaming down my face. It stung. "Tell me you love me!" He demanded. "I don't. We're through!" I ran out of the room crying.
*Flashback over*
I buried my face in Jack's hoodie trying to forget the horrible memory that felt more like a nightmare. I sniffled fighting back tears. I felt a cold finger lift my head up. It was Jack's. He looked concerned. "Are you okay?" I sniffled, "Yeah...I'm fine." He nodded and pulled me closer. I hugged him grateful that he was such a nice guy.
Jack's POV
I looked down at Rapunzel when she hugged me tighter. I groaned when I heard her sniffling. Was she crying? I lifted her chin up with my finger. She was crying. "Are you okay?" I asked concerned. "Yeah...I'm fine." She said. I nodded. I wondered if I should ask about it but thought better of it. Instead I pulled her tighter and she snuggled closer.
Megara's POV
I couldn't help but be annoyed by Hercules. I had only agreed to go to make Rapunzel happy. He was so cocky and smug about everything. I guess he was kind of cute...but I quickly pushed those thoughts away. He wasn't my type. And besides. I didn't think I would ever find love. And if I did, I would never admit it. It's too cliché. Every girl says 'I'm in love'. Do I envy those cute couples. Sure. But I don't want to have my heart broken. Staying out of relationships is just another way of avoiding heartbreak. And I was all for that. All boys are the same. I've already decided. And no one was going to change my mind. Especially not a nitwit like Hercules Panhellenios.
Hercules' POV
Megara was really pretty. She was kind of stubborn, but nonetheless pretty. She was beautiful in fact. But I doubted she had any feelings for me. All girls like me, I had never met one who didnt. They all claimed they liked me for the same reasons. I was handsome and strong. Not Megara. She never showed it if she did anyway. Everyone seems to think I'm a player. I'm really not. It's just that when girls ask me out, I'm just too nice to say no. And that was probably why Meg didn't like me. She probably didn't want to go out with me because she thought I was a player.
I sighed silently to myself. I was hopeless. If only my sister Aphrodite was here to see me. A hopeless romantic so far away from the girl I loved.
Rapunzel's POV
We had finished our movie and we were walking back to our campus. It was cold and I regretted not bringing a jacket. I was quite envious of Snow right now. She was snuggled under her boyfriend's jacket hugging him. I hugged myself tightly wishing it wasn't so cold. Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned my head to see Jack. He was holding out his hoodie to me. "Here. Take my jacket." he offered. "Are you sure you won't be cold?" I asked worriedly. "No. I'm fine. I'm worried about you."He smiled. I gratefully took his hoodie and pulled it over my head. It was warm and it smelt like him. Like freshly fallen snow. I smiled at him and he smiled back completely oblivious to the cold. He was such a sweet guy, and I couldn't help but think that this was a more than friendly act of kindness.
