The warm summer wind brushed against my flushed cheeks, as I hurriedly pushed with my foot, to increase the speed of my longboard. I was pretty fast, but I had to get faster, if I wanted to make it in time. Finally Arendelle High School came into my view. But right in front of me appeared also a cordoning off. I panicked, because I was too fast to change to the street, so the only options I had were to crash into that cordoning off or to jump over it, but what would happened then, I couldn't tell. At the last minute I pushed my foot down and jumped.
Suddenly everything slowed down as I practically flew over the cordoning off. My ginger pigtails streamed behind me in the wind and I stretched my hands out. Oh my god, this is amazing! The moment didn't last long, as my board lowered it's flight. Oh my, oh my , oh my. I landed and I was still on my board, uninjured. ''Yeah!'' I yelled happily. Oh I just hope someone saw how cool that was! I looked back to see how high I actually jumped, well that was a bad idea. My board got stuck and I flew forwards. ''Uff.'' I just crashed into another person and knocked them at the same time over. We landed on the hard pavement and we both whined in pain.
''Oh my god, I'm sooo so sorry, I wasn't looking were I was going and my board got stuck, and-.'' ''I'm fine Anna, I'm glad I caught you.'' A familiar, deep voice laughed and I looked down. Messy white hair, ice blue eyes his typical cheeky grin. ''Jack!'' I said relieved. It would have been worse If I had landed on a stranger. We stood up, and dusted us down ''Nice jump though.'' He said acknowledging. I grinned proudly at him. ''Practice is everything.'' ''Yeah I know.'' He said and gave me a friendly slap on the back. ''Ready for hell?'' He asked and pointed to our school. ''No, but I think that doesn't really matter in that case.'' He grinned. ''Yeah, I think you're right.'' I picked up my longboard and we made our way to the double doors. Other students rushed past us, into their classes or took things out of their lockers.
Jack Frost and I were best friends since we were little. He was wild, loud, smart, handsome ( He is the crush of a lot of girls in our school) and a typical troublemaker. But he also was pretty good at school, which I couldn't quite understand, because he never took notes in class or paid any attention to what the teachers said. I once asked him how he's doing it to have the best grades. He just said with a sly grin ''Well Anna, I just have it.'' And as I asked him what 'it' was, he shrugged. ''If you would have it, you would know what it is.'' He was messing around with me again, so I just gave up. He probably cheated. We came in front of my english class to an halt. ''See you later in math, We'll have so much fun.'' He gave me his cheeky grin and walked away. I sighed. Math with Jack was quite a torture.
''3+9=(9x3)-6..'' I whispered, while I copied the algebraic equation from the blackboard in front of me.*prick* ''Anna.'' I immediately started, but refused to give the idiot who broke the law 'Don't disturb Anna while she's obviously dutifully taking notes...,ever!' any attention.
I just went on with my writing, but my voice got a little louder this time and I shifted a few inches away from my attacker. ''27=27-6''*prick* ''Hey Anna psst.'' This time he did it even harder and I tried not to lose my temper because of this douchebag next to me. No he won't win this time! While my one hand was busy with writing, the other clung to one of my pigtails. A habit from me, when I got nervous or in that case angry.
The volume of my voice rose and a few other students turned to me, giving me puzzled looks, but I didn't pay them any attention, I was so deep in rage. ''21=..*prick*..21!'' I screamed the last number and finally turned my head around. ''WHAT?'' Amused and unbelieving ice blue eyes widened and looked back at me. One hand on his mouth, apparently to cover up a laugher, while his other one was buried in his messy, white hair. Jackson Frost Ladies and Gentlemen.
His eyes wandered to the front, where usually stood the teacher and just in that moment I realized that the whole room was dead silent except from a few giggles here and there. I felt my cheeks heating up, as I felt all eyes on me. I apparently looked like a tomato, as my face adopted the color of my hair. I slowly turned my head to the front as well. There stood my teacher, arms folded in front of his chest. ''Principal?'' I asked carefully, guilt visible on my face. ''Principal.'' He nodded. With a frustrated huff I packed up my things and made my way to the door, but before I left I gave Jack one last look, which sent him the message 'I'll take care of you later asshole'. He just grinned and leaned back, hands folded behind his head in an act of satisfaction. It always ended like that, wether he had to go to the principal or I. Luckily Mr. Adam our principal got used to it.
I slammed the door shut after I left the class and made my way to the principals office. The only noises were my footsteps on the fresh-wiped floor. I kind of liked the walks there, it was so quiet and I had time to think about various things. My thoughts immediately wandered to the white haired evil, so called my best friend. I sighed, Jack always managed to get me into trouble, always, wether like today or with some of his stupid pranks. Okay, they were quite funny and it made even more fun to prepare them or when they got into action. I just couldn't forget Mr. Meyers face, as he realized he was stuck on his chair, once in class, that was hilarious. And just now I couldn't suppress the giggle at the thought about it.
''What's so funny?'' Startled my head snapped to the source of the voice, but I already knew who it was. Elsa Frost casually leaned against one of the many lockers in the hallway, back straight. She wore a blue summer dress and her usual french braid, which rested over her left shoulder and of course that characteristic kind, enchanting, lopsided smile of hers, which a lot of boys fell for. I internal sighed. Those Frosts are everywhere, I swear! ''Uh..Uhm nothing really, just thought about a joke. What are you doing here anyway? Don't you've class?''
For some reason I always began to get nervous around her, I didn't know why but it was just her appearance. When she enters a room, she's the centre, like the sun and everyone is circling around her. Oh, I forgot to mention that she's one of the most popular girls in our school besides Sarah Martin, but Sarah is just an attention-seeking bitch, who is very hyped by the boys. Elsa was kind, funny, smart, pretty, standing out with her blond, nearly white hair (I swear it was its natural color) and always so regal, like she was raised in a castle, in that case the total opposite from her brother.
Elsa looked thoughtfully at her shoes, there were lines appearing between her brows, she was frowning. I never saw Elsa Frost frowning. I wanted to ask what was wrong, but she quickly looked up to me and apparently realized that I was mustering her intently. The frown was replaced by her smile and the moment was gone, so I swallowed the words down. ,,I... had to go to the restroom. And you?'' I knew she wasn't telling the truth, but I ignored it. I was just happy we had a real conversation.
Elsa and I once were best friends, well Jack, Elsa and I. The three of us were inseparable, we played every day luckily we lived in the same neighborhood. But then time happened and we three grew older. And since Jack and I were 14 and Elsa 15, she just started to hang out lesser with us. I of course asked Jack where Elsa was as he came over without her, but he just said that she was busy with school or had to help at home, but I didn't really believed him. Days passed, months, then years and eventually I adapted to the fact that there were now only Jack and I and of course our other friends, but no Elsa. She and I grew apart, which was kind of sad, we were pretty close, we were like sisters. Now I didn't really know what we were, old friends? acquaintances? ex-best friends? Ugh, that sounds horrible! Anyway, I knew there was a reason, why she shut me out, but I had no clue what it was and maybe I was also too afraid to ask. The thought that Elsa just didn't want to see me, because I was the reason, would have been not easy to stomach.
A giggle brought me out of my thoughts and I just realized that Elsa was still standing there and waiting for an answer. Well now she covered up her mouth with a hand, like she always did, when she was laughing. ''S-Sorry, I got lost in thoughts.'' Blood rushed into my cheeks and I just hoped she didn't notice it. Great job, now she thinks you're weird. ''No, no I have to apologize, but you always pout when you're thinking and it's kind of funny, but also adorable.'' Her eyes widened at the last word and her usual pale cheeks went crimson, like she wasn't allowed to say something like that. I just grinned. ''Like that?'' I asked and began to pout. ''Yeah.'' She laughed, cheeks still red and I began to laugh too. It felt so good to laugh with her again, especially because her laugh was so contagious and so melodic, I would recognize it everywhere. After that, we just looked at each other. She mustered me with a soft look, which I only saw, when she looked at her brother, but this look was also a little bit different, I couldn't really tell what it was, but it was a good different. This look, mixed with the warm smile she gave me, just made my heart beating faster.
The school bell and I remembered why I came here in the first place. Elsa seemed also to realize what her actual intentions were, because her smile disappeared quickly and she looked around, everywhere were pupils, leaving their classrooms and filling the hallway with their exited voices. ''Uhm, I have to go.'' The senior turned around and before I could say anything, the crowd already swallowed her. I was left back, dumbfounded. What did just happen?
It was lunch time and I was sitting with my friends at our usual table. We were eight people, Jack, my best friend Rapunzel, her boyfriend Flynn, (actually his name was Eugene, but except from Rapunzel and me, no one knew it),Merida, Tiana, Sven and some guy named Kristoffer or Kristoff. He was new and a friend of Sven and also an huge reindeer fan. While everyone was happily chatting around and eating, I was sitting next to Jack and Rapunzel, which was quite a torture. One always tried to steal my food and the other one can't refuse to talk without gesturing with her hands and nearly knocking over my milk carton. But today, I didn't really pay them attention, my eyes were only caught at one table and at this specific table sat a platinum blond girl, eating her meal. Well, she just poked in it, thoughtfully, while her boyfriend Pitch was sitting next to her, one arm around her shoulder. He talked with the other persons at the table. I didn't really know Pitch, well his actual name was Mitch, but everyone called him Pitch- Black because of his raven-black hair. He seemed like a nice guy. Jack didn't like him very much though. He said, that Pitch was arrogant and only using his sister for popularity. I couldn't imagine that, because popularity is not everything, you know and I just believed in the good in man or something like that.
A move and Elsa suddenly looked up to meet my eyes. I smiled but she, with a frown only looked again at her food. It hurt me more than it should, really. I just thought that things would change, that she would open up to me and we could be even friends, but my expectations were obviously too high. I sighed and looked down on my plate. Nearly everything was gone, just a few crumbs of my sandwich remained. Great.
''Hey Anna.'' I looked up. Rapunzel, who was now looking at me but actually fighting with Jack over her last chocolate cookie, began to burst out in laugher, as he quickly reached out with his hand and began to tickle the blond. She immediately released the cookie and Jack stuffed the candy into his mouth and pumped up his fist in victory. ''That was not fair Frost!'' Rapunzel whined. Jack just grunted something with his full mouth. I couldn't suppress a giggle, sitting with him at one table could be very rough. ''So what I actually wanted to ask.'' Rapunzel again addressed me. ''We all wanted to go to Arendelles waterfalls tomorrow night, would you join us?''
''It's gonna be awesome, because this time I'm gonna jump in, from one of those cliffs, are you in Flynn?'' Jack yelled excited and outstretched a hand for Flynn to high-five. The black-haired boy smashed his hand with full force against Jack's. ''Totally bro!'' ''No you don't.'' Rapunzel piped up, folding her hands in front of her chest. ''It's too dangerous.'' She said with a strict tone. ''Rapunzel's right, didn't you hear about the boy who jumped from one of those cliffs and landed on a rock, which he couldn't see because it was underwater? He's in a wheelchair now.'' Tiana spoke up, who ended her conversation with Merida. ''But-.'' Flynn began, but was quickly cut off by Rapunzel, who mouthed a warning 'Eugene'.
I looked over to Jack who frowned defeated. ''One day.'' He whispered, more to himself. I again turned to Rapunzel. ''I would love to go with you, but I have to work at the cinema tomorrow, maybe another day?'' ''Oh right, you said that.'' She said and scratched her head. ''Well, then some next time.'' She offered a smile and I smiled back. My eyes wandered again to the table a few feet away from us. Elsa was gone, her food remained untouched. Something was up.
After school, Jack and I left the massive building and made our way to the parking lots. Students rushed out through the double doors of the school, welcoming the fresh and warm air of summer. Jack and I talked about a new video game, which just released and we stipulated, that we would buy it yet this week, to play it together. As we reached the parking lot he turned to me. ''Where are we gonna do our Game of Thrones session tonight?'' He asked, putting his hands into the pockets of his blue jeans, while his blue eyes mustered me. ''Uhm, well my mother is a little sick and she needs to rest. I think it would be better if we watch it at your place.'' Jack nodded
''Yeah, I think that'll work out. My parents are out of city, so we have the house for ourselves. Well, my sister will be there too, but I'm sure she won't disturb us.'' At the mention of his sister, my mood marred. Oh right. ''Jack!'' Speaking of the devil. Elsa was sitting in her blue Mini cabrio, sunglasses on and waving over to us. ''Well, I have to go, we see us at eight.'' Jack said with a smile and gave me quick hug. He ran over to the car and swung himself over the door. The whole car shook as he landed in the passenger seat. I could clearly see Elsa rolling her eyes at this action and I also noticed, that she refused to look at me. They drove off, disappearing around the corner. I sighed. Well at least Game of Thrones tonight. My mood lightened a little and I placed my board on the street. And with Jack it of course will be fun like always.
