Sisterly Bond
Anna's P.O.V.
I loves my older sister Elsa very much and loves spending with her but sometimes it can be hard being her little sister. I'm 16 years old and a junior at Arendelle High School. My sister Elsa goes to the same school but she's a senior and 2 years older than me. I love the blonde very much and I know that she loves me too. Being the blonde's younger sister especially when said blonde is the big woman on campus is really hard.
Elsa is really popular with everyone at Arendelle including the teachers. She's extremely smart with all of the Honor classes that she takes and I'm just taking regular classes, struggling in half of them. Elsa is insanely beautiful with her long, platinum blonde hair that's always in a braid, blue eyes, and really clear pale skin. I just wish that I was half as pretty as my sister but sadly I'm not. Everyone loves Elsa especially the guys but she doesn't seem to notice them at all.
How does she not notice? I mean how she doesn't notice all the guys gawking at her. They make pretty obvious that they're staring at her. I don't like that for several reasons. I don't like those guys staring at my sister like that. Okay, now I'm rambling. I wish that I could be like my sister but I'm not. Why does universe hate me so much? What did I do? I hate always getting compared to Elsa all the time.
It feels like I can never measure up to her no matter what I do. Teachers expect me surpass her academically but at this point I haven't lived up to their expectations but that's crazy. No one can surpass the blonde in school. Everything I do, my sister has done it and done it better than me. She's always on the Honor Roll, I'm lucky that I pass my classes.
I'll never be able to step out of Elsa's shadow. I woke up the next morning with my horrible bed hair. I don't know how my hair always looks like a rats nest every single morning. I sigh as I try to brush all the knots and tangles out before putting hair in my signature twin braids. I took a quick shower and brush my teeth before getting dressed. I decided on wearing black tank top, a long sleeve red plaid leaving the top 3 buttons open and blue skinny jean.
I walk out of my room and slide down the railing of the stairs before hopping on the floor. I love sliding down the railing no matter how m any times Elsa tells me not to. I can't help that it's so fun to do.
"Anna, what did I tell about sliding down the banister?"
I looked to see that Elsa was standing in the doorway of the kitchen. She has a small frown on her face with her hands on her hips.
"Sorry Elsa but I can't help it" I said laughing nervously.
"It's quite alright Anna but I don't want you getting hurt" Elsa said smiling a little.
"I know Elsa, I know"
Elsa was about to say something but a car horn interrupts her. I know that car horn anywhere and it belongs to my best friend Kristoff's truck. I grab my backpack and tell my sister that I would see her at school. I race out of the house and towards the red, old beat-up pick-up truck. I open the door and hop inside the truck to see my bear of a friend.
"What's got your panties in a bunch?" Kristoff asked raising an eyebrow.
"I just want to get this day done and over it" I said sighing.
"Aren't you a ball of sunshine?" Kristoff said pulling onto the street.
"Kris, I am not in the mood okay" I said glaring at him.
"Maybe you should tell just talk to Elsa about how you're feeling. She's a pretty understanding person from what I can tell" Kristoff said keeping his eyes on the road.
"I know that my sister is an understanding person but it's too complicated. This is just something that she wouldn't understand" I said shaking my head.
Me and Kristoff have had this conversation multiple times before and the outcome has been the same. Elsa just wouldn't understand about I'm feeling and I can't talk to her about it. I just have to keep it to myself and hopefully it'll go away because I don't like feeling this way about my sister. I mean Elsa is the only family that I have left after our parents died in a car accident when we were younger.
The blonde has practically raised the both of us and she never complained once about it. Elsa has to grow up fast to take care of us and she's like my mother in a sense. My sister can be overly motherly sometimes that I think she actually believes that I'm her child. It can really annoying and embarrassing when she wants use her spit to swipe dirt smudges off my cheek in public.
That has happened a lot in the past and in school, believe it or not. Kristoff pulled into the school's parking lot and parked the truck.
"All I'm saying is that you should talk to your sister" Kristoff said putting a hand on my shoulder.
"I'll think about it" I said sighing.
We got out of the blonde's truck before walking towards the school. I walked towards my locker to see Hans Westerguard, leaning against it. He's the most popular guy in the school and he's the captain of the football. I have had a crush on him for almost 3 years now and never had the courage to actually talk to him. Why is he leaning against my locker for?
Is he lost or something? No, that can't be it. He's been at this school just as long as I have and there's no way that he would lose. He could waiting for me and to confess his unyielding love me. Okay Anna, get a grip! There's no way that Hans of all people would confess to me. I walked towards my locker and tap him on his shoulder.
He looks at me with those dreamy green eyes of his and it feels like he's looking at my soul. I want to run my hands through his silky auburn hair and kiss those soft lips of his.
"You're Anna, right?" Hans asked smiling a little.
"Y-Y-Yeah, that's m-me" I stammered.
"I'm Hans Westerguard" Hans said introducing himself.
"I-I know w-w-who you a-are" I said hating that I'm stuttering.
"Oh you do. Well I was wondering maybe that you could give your sister my number" Hans said holding out a piece of paper.
The smile on my face quickly fell. I could hear the sound of my own heart breaking into millions of pieces. I can't believe that my crush has a thing for my sister. I knew that Hans is out of my league but I hoped that one day that he would see me in the way that I see him. Hope and love are for saps. I give up on finding love from anyone. I'm not worth affection from anyone and I don't deserve it. I take the piece from the football captain and he smiles brightly at me.
"You're a pal. Thanks a lot, Anna" Hans said patting me on the shoulder.
I balled the piece of paper in my hand and throw it away in a nearby trash can. I open my locker and stick my head in it. This day couldn't get it worse than it already is. The hallway goes silent and I can hear light footsteps walking through the hallway. I know those footsteps anywhere. Elsa is walking through. I pull my head out of my locker before my sister asks why I have it in there.
I turned to see the blonde wearing a light blue blouse with a darker blue skirt. There is something that you should know about my sister. She loves winter and the color blue with a passion. I like winter too but not as much as Elsa.
"Hey, what did the Pretty Boy want to talk to you about?"
I turned to see that it was Eugene standing next to me. I met Eugene last year at Comic Con. He was dressed up as Mako from Legend of Korra and it was a pretty impressive cosplay. I didn't go as anyone but I did wear my batman t-shirt. We bonded over our love for comics and have become close friends because of it. Eugene used to be one of Elsa's many fanboys but he got over it when he met this current girlfriend Rapunzel. I say that Eugene is one of my best friends besides Kristoff.
"I don't want to talk it" I said sighing.
"Did you embarrass yourself in front of Pretty Boy again?" Eugene asked raising an eyebrow.
"No, that's not it. I did embarrass myself in front of him but that's it" I said folding my arms.
"Oh come on Little Red, what's up? Don't make me use the smolder on you" Eugene said grinning a little.
"Okay 1) 'the smolder' do doesn't work on me and 2) it makes you look constipated" I said laughing a little.
"I know that but it got you laugh didn't it" Eugene said smirking a little.
"I hate you" I said shaking my head.
"No, you don't. You love me or else you wouldn't have friends with for this long"
"Point taken" I said as the bell rings.
We walked through seas of other students getting to their classes. My first class is Algebra 2 with Weselton or as I like to call him Weaseltown. He's a short man with white hair wrapping around his the sides of his head but the top is completely bald. I can barely keep up in the class with how boring this guy is and I just doesn't understand math at all.
I sat in the middle of the room when Weaseltown walked in with his briefcase. He sets his briefcase on his desk and pulls out some papers that I'm assuming are our last test that we took a few days. I studied my butt off and I barely remembered anything that I studied. Weaseltown started handing back our test when he stood in front of me.
"I expected more from Elsa's younger sister" Weaseltown said shaking his head.
He set my test on my desk before moving on. I picked up my test to see a D- in red ink on the corner of my paper. Awww come on universe, why do you hate me so much? Elsa is gonna kill once she sees this. I promised her that I would keep my grades up so I could go to Comic Con with Eugene and Kristoff. I need to go to Comic Con since it's one of the few things that I actually look to doing.
There I'm not Elsa's little sister, I'm just another nerd in a huge ocean of other nerds. I can be myself and share my love of comics with others. This is just depressing and my day is just getting worse by the second. Weaseltown started his gawking about parallel lines with equations but it wasn't making no sense whatsoever but I'm trying to understand, I really am. Halfway through the lesson I gave up.
There's no way that I am going to get any of this. I stared blankly at the board until the bell rang and I pack up my stuff. Today is just getting more and more worse by the second and I'm considering the rest of the day. I was walking to my locker when someone puts their hand on my shoulder turning me around. I came face-to-face with the school's troublemaker/bad boy Gaston Aragon. Gaston is a pretty guy with huge muscles and I am sure that he's on steroids.
"Hey Ginger" Gaston said smirking a little.
"Ginger? Really? Was that the best that you could come up with" I said through narrowed eyes.
"Why don't you come on and go out on a date with me? We'll have a hell of a time" Gaston said licking his lips.
"Sorry but uh I'm not interested in going on a date with you" I said removing his hand from my shoulder.
I took a few steps away when Gaston puts his hand on my shoulder and roughly turns me around. There was a prominent frown borderline of a scowl on his face. Oh no, this is gonna be bad. This is really bad. He grabs the front of my plaid shirt and raised me off of the ground. I was high enough off of the ground that my feet were dangling.
"No one tells Gaston Aragon no" Gaston said glaring at me.
I tried to get out of Gaston's grip but it's way too tight. He slams me into the locker causing me to hit the back of my head. Okay, that hurt. This meathead needs to put me down now.
"I believe that she just did"
We looked to see that it was Elsa standing a few feet away from us with her arms folded and an intense glare pointed at Gaston. The glare was cold enough to turn people into icicle.
"Hey Elsa, I'm just talking to Anna" Gaston said smiling sheepishly.
"It doesn't look like talking. Gaston, I highly suggest you put my little sister down now or you will regret it" Elsa said coldly.
Gaston shuddered a little and put me back down onto my feet. He quickly walked away down the hallway. I noticed there was a crowd crowding around us.
"Do you always need your big sister to come your rescue?" Cinderella asked snickering at me.
Something in my head just snapped and I bolted to the nearest exit. I just can't take it anymore. I can't deal with living in Elsa's shadow anymore. I don't want to deal with this anymore and I don't know how to. I need to get far away from everything for awhile and just clear my head. I don't know where I'm going and just let my feet carry me to wherever.
It wasn't long before I found myself in the middle of Arendelle Park and my legs are hurting like hell. I remember coming here a lot when I was younger with Elsa and our parents. We haven't be here as much since our parents died but I come here to relax and get my mind off of things. I walked up to the first tree that I saw and started climbing.
I climb and climb up the tree and stood on the third bunch from the top. I could see the whole town from up here and the view is amazing from up here. Not a lot people would climb up here in fear of falling but I got the fear knocked out of me the last time I fell out of a tree. The last time I fell out of a tree was 3 years ago and I broke my arm.
The branch that I was using was a weak one and it snapped under my weight causing me to fell on my arm. Elsa freaked out and scolded me for being so reckless. I can be pretty reckless and accident prone but she should know that by now. I love climbing trees and stuff like this regardless of the risk of getting hurt. I sat on the tree branch and stare over the town. I spaced pout for a good when I realized that the sun was about to go down. Awww hell, I am in so trouble when I get home.
"Hey Feisty Pants, there you are"
I looked down to see Kristoff and Eugene standing at the bottom of the tree that I was in. Of course they were find me up here.
I decided to climb down to meet them.
"Have you been up there this whole time?" Eugene asked raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, where else would have I been" I said shrugging.
"Dude, we were worried about you. We were starting to think that something happened to you, knowing how accident prone you are" Kristoff said putting his hands on his hips.
"Guys, I'm fine. I just to get away from everything for awhile"
"Don't you mean away from someone? Your sister in-particular" Eugene said folding his arms.
"Okay, yes I am avoiding my sister because of today. I lost my crush to her and she embarrassed me in front of everyone" I said frowning.
"She saved your bacon from that meathead Gaston. You should be thankful that she did it at all considering how most older sisters want nothing to do with little sisters" Kristoff said frowning.
I rolled my eyes and pouted. I know that I could have one of those older sisters that want nothing to do with their younger sisters. Sometimes I wish I did just to see what it was like on the other side. Eugene wraps his arm on my shoulders and ruffles my hair a little. I hate when he does that and he knows it. I followed the both towards the blonde's truck as we headed to his place.
It was a quick trip to the Kristoff's place before he ordered pizza. The blonde place is our headquarter for us to play video games, read comics, have discussions over what comics are the best and eat junk food. Eugene flopped in front of the TV and started up the PS3 connected to it. He puts in Call of Duty: Ghosts and I grabbed the second controller.
We got started on the Versus mode and it was me and Eugene against another team. I am a pretty sniper and picked a perfect spot to picked off members one by one. I had to save Eugene a few times but it's fun watching him get upset every time he got shot or blown up. The door bell rings signaling the arrival of the pizza guy and the pizza and Kristoff gets up to get it.
"Yo, pizza's here. I call next game" Kristoff said setting the pizza on the coffee table behind us.
"You can take my turn" Eugene said handing over the controller.
Kristoff takes the controller and we started playing while eating pizza. We played video games and ate pizza for a few hours having fun. I love spending hanging out with my friends a lot and I wish that it doesn't have to end but it does. It's almost 11 and I know that Elsa is worried about me.
"Come on Feisty Pants, you can't hide out from your sister forever" Kristoff said patting my shoulder.
"Ain't nothing to it but to do it. Just do it" Eugene said smiling.
"You know that this isn't a Nike commercial, right?" I said through narrowed eyes.
"That might be true but you get some balls and get it over with" Eugene said shrugging.
"Fine, let's get this over with" I said following them to the truck.
I climbed into the back with the blonde in the driver's seat and Eugene in the passenger's seat. Dread was filling my stomach and I am feeling nauseous about seeing my sister. I know that she's worried about me since I ran from her at school. My lecture senses are tingling and definitely I won't hear the end of it once I step through the front door. I feel the truck stop and I looked to see that we were in front of my house. This ride was way too short for my liking. Time to face the music, I guess.
"I'll see you guy Monday" I said getting out.
"May the force be with you, young Palawan" Kristoff and Eugene said waving at me.
I walked to the front door and mentally prepared myself for what might happened next. I pulled out my keys from my pocket and unlocked the door. I walked into the house and closed the door behind me as quietly as I could. Maybe Elsa fell asleep and she won't notice me getting in.
"Anna? Is that you?"
Or she's still be up. Seriously Universe, why? What did I do? You love messing with me, dontcha. I turned to see Elsa standing at the bottom of the stairs in her light blue nightgown. Her eyes are red and puffy like she's been crying for hours and it hurts me to see her like this. I know that I'm the reason why she's like this and I don't like it. She runs to me and takes in her arms. My sister holds onto me tightly like I was her last lifeline and I would disappear if she lets go.
"I was so worried. I t-thought something happened to you" Elsa said crying into my shoulder.
"I didn't mean to worry you" I said wrapping my arms around my sister.
We stood there, holding each other for what felt like hours. The blonde finally calmed down somewhat as she pulls me onto the couch.
"Why did you run from me earlier? Did I do something to upset you?" Elsa asked genuinely confused.
"I'm sick of living your shadow. Everyone is always comparing me to you and expecting me surpass you. To everyone, I'm not Anna but just your baby sister" I said sinking in the couch.
"Anna, I didn't know that you felt that way. Why did you tell me?" Elsa asked taking my hand in hers.
"I don't know. I didn't think that you would understand since you're so perfect at everything you do" I said pouting a little.
"I'm not perfect. There are some things that I'm not good at and there things at you're better at than me" Elsa said smiling a little.
"Tch like what?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"You're definitely better than me in gym. There's one thing that I'm jealous of"
"Which?"
"You are really good at making friends. I have been at Arendelle High for almost 4 years now and I don't have a single friends there. You have actual friends that want to be your friend because like the person that you are and not because you're popular. I'm a little jealous of that" Elsa said looking down at the floor.
"You're jealous of me? That's just ridiculous, Elsa. I mean you're the most beautiful girl at school"
"Well thank you Anna but I think more beautiful than I am" Elsa said smiling.
"You're such a dork" I said rolling my eyes.
"You're a klutz but you're my klutz" Elsa said kissing my cheek.
"Ewww Elsa, I'm too old for that" I said wiping my cheek on my sleeve.
"You might be 16 but you will always be that adorable 8 year old that used to follow me around" Elsa said smirking a little.
"You're going to hold that over my head forever, aren't you" I said glaring at her.
"Yes, yes I am"
I sigh heavily as I shake my head. I feel better for telling Elsa how I feel and I should've listen to Kristoff about talking to her sooner. I walked upstairs into my room and changed into a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt. I walked out of my room next door into my sister's room to find her stretching a little. I flopped on her bed as she stares at me with knowing smile on her face.
"Not a word outta you" I said glaring at her.
"I love you, Anna" Elsa said kissing my forehead.
"I love you too, Elsa" I said snuggling up to her.
The End
