*Beep! Beep! Beep!* Startled, Anna looks around her small upstairs bedroom. Finally seeing the source of the peace disrupting sound, she stood up from her desk, stretched, then made her way through the mess of used clothes and school work to turn off the alarm clock. "Damn it," she thought. "This is the third night in a row I've fallen asleep trying to study. This is getting out of hand. Why am I even doing this to myself?!" Seeing the room in such a chaotic state, Anna picked up her papers in a pointless attempt to tidy up. She groaned when seeing a harshly graded assignment. "That's why." She thought as she glared at the failed work in her hands. The third failed test that month.

Anna ungracefully carried herself downstairs and was greeted with the smell of breakfast being prepared by her father, a large man with an even bigger heart. He adopted Anna from Arrendale Orphanage before the facility was taken down for economic issues. He was all the family she had, and Anna was okay with that.

"Hoo-hoo! Good morning, Anna! You should be getting ready for school, ya?" Mr. Williams said with a thick accent and a smile that seemed to have lit up everything around him.

"I'm on it right now, dad, just let me eat first. What's got you in such a happy mood?" Anna asked as she sat down at the dining table.

"I have good news, dear!" Mr. Williams declared while putting pancakes on Anna's plate. "I've been asked to go to a business conference in Corona!"

"I take it that's a good thing?" Anna responded with a joking smile on her face.

"Anna, this means that I might be in the running for a big promotion! Money for your college! Maybe even a new car, ya?" He said, pouring orange juice on his pants in the excitement. "I'll be gone for a week….. I'll be leaving in two days."

"Th-that's great, dad. Thanks for the breakfast. I'll.. I'll go get ready." Anna said with an obvious sadness in her tone. She hated when her father wasn't around. It reminds her that without him, she's alone. No one else but her and Hans, her boyfriend.

Anna washed, got dressed in jeans faded from use along with a blue sweater, then went for her car. Before leaving, she felt the vibration of her phone in her pocket. "Hans!" She thought as she quickly unlocked her phone.

"G'morning, beautiful. Big headache. I'll be late, but I'll see you at school ;-)" Anna read. She brushed it off, knowing it was just another late, drunk night with his friends, then drove to school.

Anna, still exhausted from the miniscule hours of sleep the night before, dropped in her chair and immediately laid her head down. "Just five minutes," she convinced herself. The room quickly began to fade. The sound of life around her muffled. She was unconscious in no time.

"And that, class, is why animal-like protists are not in the kingdom Animalia," lectured the biology teacher. "So, if there aren't any que-" He stopped when Anna, still in a deep sleep, caught his attention. The bell sounded, and Anna woke up in a jolt, dazed as she is once again woken to a loud sound. "Ms. Williams, come see me for a second. Everyone else is dismissed!"

Anna, realizing that she missed out on a lecture, cursed under her breath as she approached the angry-looking man. "Ms. Williams, I don't know who you think you are, sleeping while I am giving the class important information, but I will not hesitate to send you to detention. If I am not worth your time, you are certainly not worth mine. One more chance." He whispered and then walked away. "Damn it! I study all night and come here to get scolded!" she thought to herself.

As Anna was just about to leave the classroom, something appeared that shocked every fiber of her existence. "Woah." Before her was the most gorgeous human being Anna had ever laid eyes on. This girl was tall and slender. She had platinum hair that graciously made its way onto a long braid that went in front of the shoulder. The girl sported a light brown coat with pants that hugged the skin. It complimented the amazing body shape. "She was completely covered up. In the middle of August." Anna brushed this thought off. She looked like something out of a fashion magazine but immensely more spectacular. "Um. Sorry. I am new. Is this biology?" said the mysterious, radiant creature with a seductive French accent. "Uh, oh, um. Y-yes! I mean it is, was. The class just ended!: Anna replied in a nervous tone, blush starting to surface on her face. "Smooth, you idiot." "Oh putain." The magnificent girl said. Even the way she cursed made Anna's spine tingle." My name is Elsa by the way!"

"My God, who is this girl? She is so- so petite. She is so cute. Such beautiful red hair." thought Elsa, trying to watch the little redhead but trying not to show that she was blushing. "Oh no. She's walking this way! What if she touches me? What if she finds out. What if-" Thoughts began to rush in the tall French girls head.

"M-maybe I can show you to your next class! My name is Anna!" Anna blurted. She began to walk to the Elsa when she misstepped and tripped. Books and papers flying out of her poorly closed backpack, Anna frantically swept the ground in an attempt to pick up the papers, blushing harder than she has in her entire life. Before Anna could even begin to apologize for the embarrassing moment, Elsa had already begun to assist in cleaning up the mess, a slight grin on her face. "Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn!" Anna thought. She looked up to see Elsa helping her with her paper then smiled.

After the mess was contained, Anna breathlessly watched Elsa tidy up the stack of papers and hand them back. Anna was staring, Elsa reciprocated the stare. Both lost in each others eyes, Anna hoped that moment would never end. She hoped that moment spurred more….. intimate actions.

They snapped back to reality when the bell for second period rang. "Oh, uh, here are your papers!" Elsa shot, still smiling from Anna little mishap. "Th-thank you!" Anna said with a stutter. Something caught Anna's attention. "Why is Elsa still wearing gloves?" It was strange, but before she could ponder the oddity any longer, Anna realized she would be late to her next class. That was the last thing she needed. "I'm Anna by the way! We both need to get moving. Do you know where your next class is?"

"Yes, I do! Um. Before you go- H-here." said Elsa. Anna watched as the the girl took out a cell phone from the pocket of her backpack. "I'm not familiar with the areas here. D-do you think you could show me around? I mean after school. If you're not busy. Not saying that you have nothing better. Oh-" Elsa said in rapid succession with a hint of nervousness in her voice.

"She. Is. So. Adorable." Anna thought. "No no no. Here! Let's trade numbers! I'd be more than happy to!" After exchanging numbers, the two parted. "That could not have gone better," Elsa happily though. She was still smiling from the previous incident. "And I got her number!"

Also smiling from the meeting, Anna walked through the hallway. She clung tightly to her books while making her way to her next class, not caring about her tardiness.

"Such a beautiful name. Elsa"
