Chapter 1: New Beginnings
"I am not sharing a room with you!" a blond states rather loudly, she was almost having a panic attack, of course didn't help the school fucked up the room arrangements.
Instead of rooming with her freshman sister, they have her rooming with a mountain of a man; and she wasn't having that.
"Well it's not my fault that they put us together, I rather have the room your sister is getting!" the blond man states in a huff, he didn't like it any more than she did.
"Guys, why not talk to the RA?" A girl looking similar to the blond woman, states with a concerned look, "Can't the RA help switch Kristoff and me so it's the right way?"
Elsa the blond smiles, "I totally forgot about the RA, I'll go get them." She brushes past the man and gives her sister a quick hug before heading down the hall.
She looks at the doors, looking for the sign that signified the RA was living in that room, finally after passing about eight doors she finds it and knocks.
"ONE MINUTE!" Elsa hears muffled from the other side of the door, soon the door opens to reveal a raven haired woman that is maybe an inch or two taller than the blond, with an athletic build. "Hi!"
Elsa blinks then regains her composure, "Hello, my sister and I seem to have a problem with rooms?"
The woman steps aside for a moment grabbing a packet, two cell phones and a set of keys "Lead the way, I'm sure we can resolve whatever it is, I'm Taralina by the way."
The blond looks at her, "Elsa, and forgive me but Taralina?"
"Thank my parents for the name, part of it means Star…if you want just call me Tara, most my friends do." Tara replies with a shrug and a smile as they walk. "So what exactly is the problem?"
"Oh well instead of having me room with my sister, I'm rooming with a guy and my sis gets her own room?" Elsa explains/questions as she dodges a few people with boxes, but still gets knocked into and starts to fall.
"Whoa!" Tara reaches out and catches the blond, "I do wish people would pay more attention on move in day."
The blond looks up at her savoir with a sheepish smile, "Thanks, it seems it gets worse every year."
"Yeah, at least it's the last year for me." Tara states as she helps Elsa stand up, "What year are you?"
"Junior, will have another year after this." Elsa replies as they stop at the open door, looking in she growls seeing Kristoff hitting on her sister.
"It will be fun, a lot of us are going so…" Kristoff trails off seeing Elsa back with the RA, "Hey Elsa…"
"What are you doing?" the blond asks making Kristoff step back.
"Asking Anna if she wanted to go to a movie with me and some friends?" He looks at the blond, wondering if he was gonna get turned into an ice statue or something.
"Elsa, he was just being nice ease off would ya?" Anna states with a roll of her eyes.
"Fine, I brought the RA, everyone this is Tara, Tara this is my sister Anna…this big brute is Kristoff." Elsa made introductions and Kristoff scowled at his title.
"Pleasure to meet you all, so what I gather is the school screwed up the room assignments, which is an easy fix." Tara begins to look through the packet for the correct form.
"Good, I want to room with my sister, it's gonna be so much fun!" the redhead said excitedly as she jumps up and down.
Laughing Tara walks to the table, "All you two need to do" points to the sisters but her gaze stops on Elsa for a few extra seconds, "Is print and sign here and here" she points at the paper as the sisters come over.
"And then you, Kristoff" motions him to join them, "Sign here and here" she hands them pens, "I'll make sure the correct room numbers get put on and then you are all set."
All three fill out the form, "So that's it?" Elsa asks, remembering her first year here it wasn't that easy.
"Yep, they kept it simple this year thankfully." Tara smiles and one of her cell phone's go off, "One sec I have to take this." She walks to the side of the room picking up a rather boring looking phone and answers.
The other three smile at each other, "Well looks like I'll be moving into the room across the hall then, if you need help moving anything let me know." Kristoff offers as he waves and walks out to get his stuff.
"He's nice…" Anna states a bit dreamily, but jumps when her sister hits her shoulder, "ELSA, what was that for!?"
"You need to do good this year in school, remember what mama and papa said." Elsa states as she grabs a box and opens it.
"I know, but I can still have fun too!" Anna huffs as she moves to the desk she had already claimed, smaller of the two since her sister was going into animation design she needed a large desk.
"Yeah, but school first okay?" the blond asked putting pens, pencils and various other drawing tools on her desk.
"Sorry about that, someone thought they were in our dorm when they are two buildings over." Tara states as she clicks the cell phone shut and tucks it back on its clip.
"I have to ask, why two cell phones." Anna asks being always the curious one.
"One is for my RA job only and this one" She pulls out a red metallic Samsung Galaxy s4, with what looked like an etching of a few characters from Disney's Frozen on the back, "is my personal phone"
She pulls out a couple cards, handing Anna one but before handing Elsa one she writes on the back, "My RA cell is on the card, and a lil something extra for you Elsa. If you need anything else, don't hesitate to call me at ANY time."
She emphasizes any to Elsa specifically and then smiles walking back down the hall.
Anna dashes over and grabs the card from her sister and looks at the back, "OHHHH! She gave you her personal cell!" she screams teasing her sister who now was blushing red from her sister's outburst.
"Anna just…give it back" Elsa states holding out her hand, happy when her sister hands it over without much fuss.
The redhead dances around the room, "You going to call her, or text her?"
"I don't know, we just met Anna, it's not like love at first sight like in those fairy tales you like so much." Elsa grunts picking up part of a shelf and moving it by her desk.
Her sister runs over to help, and they easily get the cabinet setup, "Yeah, but did you see her phone with the etching?"
Elsa sighs, her sister was not going to let THAT slide "You mean the Frozen characters?"
"YES!" Anna screams again making her sister cringe, "That's your favorite movie, must be hers too!"
Inwardly Elsa was smiling, but her sister really needed to calm down "Anna just don't try to set us up okay? Because if we do anything it will be us not you."
Nodding enthusiastically, Anna begins to unpack her stuff aside her sister.
~Down the hall~
Tara was pacing her room, she had books spewn everywhere from her starting many of her school projects already and after just a brief meeting, she couldn't get blue eyes out of her head.
"No that's not it Kelly, no it isn't…" She replies to a blue-tooth in her ear "It is not a Disney movie!"
She kept looking through her drawings trying to find something she started when she was a sophomore, "No, remember that picture I started to draw of the chick in my dream….yes that one…I can't find it!"
She flops onto the bed causing sketches to fall to the floor, "I think that the drawing is her but I wanted to make sure….no you are not coming down here….you come down here and I will kick that sporty ass of yours!"
Tara laughs and gets up, not really listening to her best friend throwing a bitch fit on the other side of the line, as she picks up papers she stops; right under the bed she finally found the picture "Kelly shut up"
She stares at the picture, minus smudges from charcoal or from being hidden for so long, it looked like Elsa, "Kelly I gotta go, yeah yeah tomorrow night I know we have the basketball tourney, bye"
Hanging up quickly she stands and sets the picture on her large drawing table, "I have to finish this soon." Her thought process was disrupted by a student at her door with a problem.
~Later at the dining hall for dinner~
"Elsa, I can take care of myself you know, I wouldn't mind going out with him" Anna states before taking a bite of her baked potato.
Elsa chews her piece of steak, "I'm just saying be careful you barely know him" she cuts another piece and pops it in her mouth at the disgust of her sister, "What?"
"How can you eat meat?" the redhead asks, "It's so bloody"
Snorting as she laughs the blond makes a point of taking another bite "Because I am a carnivore sis, I like my meat and I like it bloody, besides how can you eat nothing but veggies?"
Rolling her eyes, Anna spears some green beans, "It's very healthy woman, plus keeps me in great condition"
Chuckling Elsa simply keeps eating as her sister keeps stating why she shouldn't eat meat.
Across the dining hall, Tara was going through the line "Hey Mitch" she says to the man manning the grill.
"Hey Tara, medium rare as always?" He asks serving up exactly that, "of course a lil more undercooked since I know you like it like that."
"Thanks, you coming to the game tomorrow night?"
"Yep, wouldn't miss seeing my favorite girl playing."
Tara rolls her as at him as she moves to get some vegetables then pay, after that she looks around for a seat aimlessly, "Man it's full today."
"TARA!"
The RA looks around, "Who is…" She smiles seeing Anna and Elsa, the redhead waving crazily at her; so she makes her way over, "Hello ladies, may I sit?"
"YES!" Anna almost screams before having the decency to blush at how loud she was, "sorry"
"Well nice to see you too Anna" She directs her attention to the blond ad notices a design peeking out from under the long sleeve shirt the woman wore, 'nah I'll wait to ask' she thought "So you all moved in?"
"Yeah, except for my drawing table, that won't arrive till' next week." Elsa states as she finishes her steak, and notices that Tara likes her meat bloody too and smirks.
"What majors are you taking?" Tara asks as she digs into her food.
"I'm actually undecided" Anna replies as she starts to eat some applesauce.
Elsa snerks, "You won't have a major till' junior year probably," grinning as she teases her sister, "I'm a Animation Design major, but I love to draw a bit of everything."
"Oh that's cool, I'm in Graphics myself" Tara replies as she enjoys her steak, and wonders why Anna is looking at her all sickly, "Anna, are you okay?"
"Oh no…Anna don't…" Elsa starts but it was too late.
"How can you people eat meat and like that no less?" She says a bit disgustedly, spooning some more applesauce.
"Let me guess, vegan nut?" Tara asks Elsa, who simply nods in reply "Well Anna, I see it this way, I eat what I want and you eat what you want, and leave it at that"
"I just…" the redhead gets cut off by a piece of meat landing on her plate from Tara's fork.
"I won't comment on your eating habits, if you lay off mine"
By now Elsa had buried her face in her hands at what her sister was doing, but she was peeking through watching Tara and waited for her sister to lose it; what happened shocked her.
"I…" Anna looks at Tara and sees the woman is dead serious, "Alright."
"That includes your sister."
"But…"
"Lay off us meat eaters"
"Fine, I will then" the redhead sighs out, then she smiles seeing Kristoff wave at her, "Well was fun but I am going to go now, have a good dinner!"
She gets up and starts making her way over to the man.
"Wait…what?" Elsa asks as she looks behind her and groans, "What is it with her and boys?"
Chuckling Tara sets her fork down, "I take it she won't be back for a while tonight, she hitting it off with Kristoff?"
"Seems that way, I was never this girl crazy at her age, as she is with boys." Elsa states sipping her coke, her sleeve slipping down a bit showing off a snowflake tattoo on her inner left wrist.
"Neither was I but I was a total nerd then, well still am." Tara's eyes drift to the wrist, "Nice tattoo."
Elsa stops drinking and looks at her wrist, "Thanks, one of many…" Now she looks at Tara, not sure if the woman may have tattoos or not but the woman was gorgeous with her black hair and silver eyes.
"How many do you have?" the woman asks as she finishes the last piece of her steak.
"I have six, and designing my seventh, do you have any?" the blond asks.
"I have ten, plus my half sleeve." Tara replies as she starts on her veggies, "So why a snowflake there?"
Elsa purses her lips, "I'm uhh big fan of the movie Frozen…"
Tara bites back a laugh, the irony of a woman named Elsa a fan of a movie with one of the main characters with the same, not to mention she looks like the character a bit, "Not a bad thing, I'm a fan myself."
"Yeah, any tattoos for it?" The blond asks getting more interested.
"My half sleeve on my right shoulder is Elsa in her ice castle with marshmallow and Olaf," the older woman states with a smile.
"That's cool, would love to see it sometime." Elsa states before thinking, then blushing a bit.
Finishing her meal Tara pushes her plate away, "Would love to show you sometime, oh and I wanted to ask this earlier but things to do…but would you like to go out for coffee sometime?"
Elsa wasn't sure but she did want to get to know Tara more, "Sure, we have the weekend before classes start, so anytime is good."
"Alright how about tomorrow one o'clock, I'll come by your room and we go out?" Tara states as someone waves at her and motions for her to come on, she holds up a hand waving and that she would be over soon.
Elsa sees the person across the hall, "Who's that?"
"That is Kelly, my insane best friend." Tara states slowly standing, "We have basketball practice tonight at the McClaren Gym if you want to stop by."
"I might, have a good practice." Elsa says standing with a smile.
"You too, see ya later." Tara jogs, weaving around tables towards her friend, while Elsa heads the opposite direction.
