PLEASE REVIEW! Jackieisdacaptain, thank you so much! I'd be happy to read your fic! :) You'll be glad to know there's a bit of Sparrabella action in the beginning!

"Jack Sparrow," spat Sabrina, crossing her arms.

Jack smirked at her. "Oh, dear Brina, you really do need to watch your temper."

"You need to watch your ego," she snapped back. "What do you want, Sparrow?"

Jack grinned, gesturing towards Arabella, who felt the blood rush to her face. "Calm yerself, darlin', I just wanted to talk to this lovely lass."

Arabella narrowed her eyes. "I have a name."

"Sure ya do, lassie," returned Jack, sweeping an arm around her. Arabella pushed it away. "Feisty, eh?" he asked, his smirk widening as he leaned closer towards her, so that their noses were only centimeters apart. "I have a feeling this will be a very interesting year indeed, love- for both of us," he added, leaning closer and closer- and finally pulling away swiftly. As he walked away he paused, and to Sabrina he said, "Oh, and you're not off my radar either, beautiful." He departed with yet another smirk and a wink directed towards Arabella- or maybe Sabrina- or very possibly both.

Arabella snarled in his direction. Sabrina grimaced.

"I see what you mean," said Arabella breathlessly as the two girls headed towards the lunchroom.

"He's a disgusting womanizer," Sabrina explained. The crowds of the lunchroom echoed around them, and Arabella spotted Pippa and Claudette sitting at a table.

"Hey, guys!" Arabella said, relieved to see friendly faces.

"Hey, girl," said Claudette. "Or, girls. Hey, Sabrina."

"Sup," she replied, sitting down.

"Arabella, are you okay? You're kind of flushed," said Pippa.

Arabella shook her head. "It's okay, Pip, I'm fine."

"She is," Sabrina confirmed. "She had her first run-in with Jack Sparrow."

The twins groaned sympathetically.

"I'm sorry," Pippa said, putting a comforting hand on Arabella's shoulder. "But, hey, as long as you ignore him, he's fine. Sort of. Well, what I mean to say is…"

"He's handsome and he knows it," Claudette summed up. "I dated him once."

"You dated just about everyone in the school at least once," her twin said, rolling her eyes.

"Did not! I didn't date the girls!" Claudette replied.

Their bickering melted into the background as Arabella watched the handsome blonde haired boy from that morning walk by. He was wearing a fine blue coat, and his pocket watch was back in his pocket. The poor thing must have gotten it back from Jack.

"Fitz got his pocket watch back," Arabella whispered to Sabrina.

"Huh?" Sabrina looked up. "Oh, yeah. He always does, somehow or another. Usually that scoundrel Jack get bored of taunting him and just gives it back."

"I hate him," grumbled Arabella, returning to her sandwich.

"Who? Jack?" Sabrina asked.

"Yes, Jack," Arabella sighed, exasperated. "I mean…"

But her sentence was cut off by the intercom. "Attention, students and staff members. There will be an assembly in the auditorium after lunch until the rest of the day. All other classes are cancelled."

A huge cheer rose up among the students, but Arabella and Sabrina looked at each other, troubled. Could this be what the teachers were talking about earlier?

"What do you think it's about?" asked Arabella in a harsh voice.

Sabrina shrugged. "Can't be that bad," she said. "At least, I hope not."

Arabella bit her lip. "Has anything out of the ordinary ever happened here before?"

Pippa and Claudette joined the conversation. "Chill, Arabella," said Claudette. "It's just an assembly. An assembly I get to miss math class for!" She held her hand up for a high-five from her sister. Pippa gave it a half-hearted swipe.

"I just have a bad feeling," whispered Arabella, putting her sandwich down on the plastic bag she had packed it in.

Sabrina looked worried. "Bella. I know there's something wrong."

Arabella closed her eyes. She couldn't explain the odd feeling she was getting that something was going to go unbelievably wrong at the assembly today.

Sabrina gave her a concerned look. "You're not sick, are you?"

Arabella shook her head wordlessly. "I… just don't… I feel like something awful is going to happen."

Sabrina frowned in thought. Claudette rolled her eyes and stood up to go buy some chips. Pippa shrugged. "It's possible," the redhead said. "After all, this is Barnacle High. Where anything can happen- anything."

"What makes Barnacle High such an odd school- other than its name and the lack of water fountains?" asked Arabella.

"Well," sighed Sabrina. "Of course there's Jack, who makes any day interesting."

"Don't even remind me about that scoundrel," growled Arabella.

Sabrina nodded, raising her hands in a surrender-like fashion. "Right. Sorry. And then, there's the McDonald's in the back…"

"What?" yelped Arabella.

Sabrina shrugged. "Then there's the bedrooms. The school has, like, a thousand of them. They've been building the rooms since my first year here. I have a feeling that now that they're finished, the school's finally going to reveal their purpose."

"That must be what the assembly is going to be about," reasoned Arabella.

"Possibly," agreed Sabrina. "But it is odd. You'd think this was, like, a boarding school."

Claudette returned with a bag of chips, which she offered around to the group.

"Where did you get that?" asked Arabella.

"The grocery store down the hall." Claudette pointed. "Why?"

Arabella raised her eyebrows. "Grocery store?"

Sabrina, Pippa, and Claudette appeared surprised at her bewilderment, and gave her blank looks.

"Yeah. Grocery store," repeated Claudette. "What's wrong with that?"

Arabella shook her head, grinning. "This has got to be the weirdest school in the history of Florida!"

"Is that a good thing?" asked Sabrina hopefully.

"You bet!" Arabella stood up. "How long until next period?"

Sabrina checked the clock. "About twenty minutes."

"I want to go check out the stores in this place! I've never seen stores in a school before!" cried Arabella, excited.

"Oh." Sabrina cringed. "Sorry, Bella, but… Pip and Claud and I already decided to go to the water park."

Arabella's eyes widened. "You're kidding, right?"

The three girls shook their heads, amused.

"Can I come too?"

"I would've thought that went without saying!" exclaimed Sabrina.

"Well, then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
