Meeting a Mystery
Chapter 6: Meeting a Mystery
Rapunzel looked at the boy as he left, her face displayed a look of confusion and interest. “Peculiar guy isn’t he?” her best friend Merida said standing beside her. “Yeah, he’s interesting,” Rapunzel thought out loud. Merida frown and walked over to her waving her finger. “Oh no, no! Don’t go making that face!” She pointed at the blonde. Rapunzel blinked snapping out of her daze, “What? What face?” “That far away la, la look, the same look you gave Rider. Who I remind you are just getting over!" Her voice was as serious as her wide eyes looked at the blonde. Rapunzel chuckled grabbing her bag walking out, "this isn't like Eugene. I just think he’s interesting, and different.”
The red head rolled her eyes and followed her friend to their next class. Jack went through his next two classes surprisingly quickly, and could feel the stares being burned into his head throughout the day. This reminded him that he was indeed grateful for his looks, but also never saw the amazement of having “good looks”, or being so called “handsome”, or “attractive”. Losing his eyesight sort of took away that kind of enjoyment, and he wasn’t afraid to admit that he didn’t really understand the emotion anymore. That isn’t to say that he didn’t understand the enjoyment of seeing something beautiful, he’d kill to have that sensation again. The sight of the perfect sunset across a sparkling white snow bank, or the gleaming lights of a city that reflect off a river bank, like stars in a dark sky.
The white haired teen was a true lover of the beauty of the land around, but never really saw the physical beauty of the people around him. He didn’t look at people the same way others did. Jack Frost looked inside people, he saw how they looked by speech tones, use of words, body movements, and touch. All the material masks that people hide behind, Jack could see, this is why he never felt sightless.
Jack’s thoughts were cut short when his right hand was swiftly held up to stop a locker from being opened too fast and swinging too hard into someone in the face. He turned his head hearing a quick shout, and someone else’s laughter. “Whoa Sorry there, Hiccup! Didn’t see ya!” A mellow male voice chuckled. “But I probably shouldn’a heard that loud clanking of that metal foot of yours right!?” Jack didn’t quite understand seeing as he was beside the locker, but heard the annoyed sigh next him. “Right, Snotlout cause if you had heard me, you totally wouldn’t have done it” Hiccup said rolling his eyes walking around the guy that stopped the locker from hitting him, to see a slightly taller and buff teen he called Snotlout. “Beside you didn’t even hit me,” he said shrugging and hold up his open palms.
“This guy caught the door,” he said pointing at Jack. Snotlout frown and yanked the locker back, “Nice Hiccup, I must of hit you really hard if you don’t even remember it!” he said leaning on the door with one arm. Hiccup rolled his eyes at the teen stupidity and looked at the empty space. He blinked a few times, to make sure he was seeing things correctly. The brunet was certain a white haired boy was standing right there a few seconds ago. “I, but I__ he was right there,” Hiccup said more so himself then Snotlout only to have his cousin laugh at him. Hiccup huffed in embarrassment and frustration as he walked away from the bully. He was certain he saw someone stop that locker.Jack straighten the bag on his shoulder, as he made his way to the lunch room, but quickly changed his mind about eating there. The noise level was far too much for him to handle, so the white haired teens found himself in one of the school’s empty music rooms.
