Leavin It On The Ice ch. 1
Elsa's P.O.V.
I am Elsa Frost and I am a junior at Skyline Academy. Skyline Academy is very prestige and exclusive school and I'm very lucky to be able to get into this school. I was only able to get into this school because of my excellent grades and how well my brother Jack did. Our family wouldn't be able to pay for our tuition because it's so high so I'm on scholarship to help pay for it and I have to keep at least a B average to keep it. I wouldn't say my family is poor but we're not rich either but I am grateful for what I am given.
Skyline Academy can open so many doors for me in what I want to do even though I am not exactly sure what I want to do once I graduate but I do want to make my parent of me like my brother has. He's on tour with the Eastsummer which is an high profiled hockey team and he calls to tells me how he loves practicing with the team and how cool it is even though his teammates pick on him because he's the newbie. I miss my brother because everyone looked up to Jack because he's the star player on the hockey team as well as captain.
He was the big man on campus and his reputation protected me from the bullies and stopped them from picking because was Jack's little sister. It was tough being the little sister of the big man on campus because everything that I did is overshadowed by my brother's accomplishments. Nothing that I ever did was good enough or Jack did it better than me and it hurts to know that nothing that I get was good enough. My brother didn't do it on purpose to make me look bad because only he ever did was look out for me because I couldn't do it myself.
I mean I'm not particularly strong and I don't think that I'm particular attractive either. I was born different from other teenagers my age or anyone for that matter because I don't have the right equipment than normal girls have. I have a penis instead of vagina and I am constantly picked on because of it and Jack no longer goes to this school, making open season for me. I have been throwing in dumpsters, having other people's drinks or food thrown in my face, thrown against lockers, beaten up physically and verbally by just about everyone that I have come intact with me for just about anything or they treat me like I'm invisible.
Sometimes I wish was completely invisible and just have ignore my presence all together because it would easier than having everyone being disgusted by me being around but it is an silver lining in this raging storm. It comes in the form of my best friends Kristoff Bjorgman, Flynn Rider, and Eric Dutchmen. These three have been friends with me since freshman year and we have been like three amigos except there's four of us. They have had my back more times than I count. They have taken more crap their way because of me but they never complained once for standing up for me or being around me.
They take the abuse and try to shelter me from as much of it as they possibly can. I love this guys because each of them could have ditched me and joined on making me feel like a freak but didn't. They stayed by my side and treated me like a person even though they sometimes forget that I'm a girl but I don't really mind. Sometimes I joined in their foolishness and have gotten in a few scrapes together but nothing too bad or get us into major trouble. I can't afford to get kicked out of school especially since I have less than 2 years before graduating and the connection that this school has can easily get me into any college of my choice.
I walked into school as a few of the cheerleaders eye me up and down with disgusted as I passed them and I tried to make the minimal amount of eye contact because I don't want any trouble from them. I make my way to my locker and quickly grab the necessary books for me classes. I looked out the corner of my eyes and see the love of my life walking down the hallway…. Love of my life may be kinda sorta pushing it but I have been in love with this girl for as long as I can remember which is pretty far back.
She's walking down the hallway in her red/white cheerleader uniform hugging her curves in all the right places, cheerleader sneakers, her strawberry blonde in a high ponytail and her toothpaste commercial smile in place. Anna Summers is Skyline's head cheerleader since our freshmen year together. She's a big deal around here because she brought the school 2 national championships and aiming for a third one. The head cheerleader is who every girl want to be and who every guy wants to be with including but not for the reason you would think.
The shorter girl and I have history together because we grow up together before we came to this school and played together every weekend. Our parents are friends with each other and always plan play dates for us because of how close we were. Anna's Dad is a local doctor with this own practice while Anna's Mom is a defense lawyer who as far as I know has never lost a case. As we grew up, I fell for my best friends even though we went in different directions in high school.
I went to the bottom of the social ladder while she's sitting at the top of it looking radiant as ever and I knew that this would happen when the head cheerleader went off to cheer camp the summer of 7th grade. Things weren't the same after that and I wish that hadn't changed but there's nothing that I can do about that, I just want my best friend back. The smaller girl hasn't done anything mean spirited or said any hurtful to me even though I wouldn't be surprised if she did, it comes with the name of being on top of the social ladder and no one would blame her if she did.
I know that Anna would rather spend time with her more popular friends instead of me and risk social suicide to be with me but really hurt my feelings was that she's dating Hans Westerguard. He's the captain of the basketball team as while as part of the football team and he hates my guts. The auburn haired boy makes it a point to embarrass and harass every chance he gets even though I haven't done a thing to warrant his wrath because I make it a point to avoid him as much as I can. Most of the time I can stay under his radar and I'm safe from any kind of harassment but there are a few times that I couldn't avoid him.
It didn't end well for me or the guys because either of us couldn't stay under the jock's radar, the guys end up getting wedgied and I was thrown into the dumpster before the janitor was able to pull me out before I got buried under more garbage. I smelled like crap for a few days and everyone avoided me for a few days while calling me Stank Girl for a month but back to what's happening now. Anna is walking down the hallway and I stick my head in my locker to stay under her radar as well as Hans.
The jock is never too far from the head cheerleader and I rather not get thrown in a dumpster again if I can help it because I'm wearing my favorite batman t-shirt. I looked over my shoulder to see the smaller girl talking to the other cheerleaders and it isn't long before they're walking down the hallway. I sigh in relief and some sadness because I know that I will never have my crush's attention like I want to but she wouldn't be interested in a freak like me even if she rolled that way. I close my locker to see Flynn leaning against the one next to mine and I jumped slightly because I didn't see him.
"Hey Feisty Pants, ya don't ogling at Anna yet?" Flynn asked smirking.
"I wasn't ogling at anyone especially at Anna" I said rolling my eyes.
"Sure you wasn't and I'm not a lady killer" Flynn said running his hand through his hair cockily.
"You're a lady killer alright. They kill to get away from you, Eugene" I said smirking.
"I hate that you know my real name and if you say it a lot again, I swear I will get rid of your batman comics" Eugene said trying to scaring.
"If you can find them that is" I said rolling my eyes.
"You hid them again"
"Yup and now you won't be able to find them this time"
"Unlike all the other times that I wont be able to find them" Flynn said chuckling.
Before I could retort, the hockey team comes rowdily walking down the hallway as Flynn and I get out of their way. Since my brother stepped down as captain, Adam 'The Beast' McAlister is the captain and the guys look like they eat people for breakfast and could bench-press two of the chess team with one hand. They were throwing flyers as they pass and I pick one up before reading it.
Join the Hockey Team
JOIN THE BEST TEAM THAT HAS GRACED SKYLINE ACADEMY AND ANYONE CAN JOIN. TRYOUTS WEDNSSDAY AFTER AFTERNOON AT 4 AND BRING YOUR SKATES. ARE MAN ENOUGH FOR THE ICE?
The hockey team needs new players and they did say that anyone can join. This could be my chance, my chance to show everyone what I really can do and maybe I can step out of my brother's shadow. I know that Jack would be excited about me joining the team and if I fail, no one's gonna find out about and I never have to tell my brother anything plus I could get this out of my system.
"Uh-oh I don't like that look on your face" Flynn said uneasy.
"I haven't done anything yet" I said shaking my head.
"Key word is yet and I know that you're going to. Pleas tell me that you're thinking about joining the hockey team. Those guys will chew you up and spit you out like bad cereal" Flynn said putting his hands on my shoulders.
"I'm not scare of those guys and besides Jack taught me everything I know about hockey team. Who knows? I might actually make the cut" I said smiling a little.
"You didn't hear a word that I just said" Flynn said deadpanned.
"I did but I'm actively ignoring you" I said.
"Why? Why are you doing this? This is completely crazy" Flynn said confused.
"Why who's doing what?" Someone asked.
We turned to see that it's Eric and Kristoff.
"Elsa. She wants to join the hockey team for some crazy reason" Flynn said frowning.
"She has finally cracked. Elsa, you have gone cray-cray" Eric face-palmed.
"I don't know guys, I've seen Elsa on the ice and she's pretty good" Kristoff said shrugging.
"Thank you Kristoff, least someone is being supportive" I said smiling at him.
"It doesn't matter if she's good or not because those guys are going to throw her around like a rag doll around the rink and it's gonna be our fault for not talking her out of it" Flynn said dramatically.
"Flynn, stop being dramatic. I'm not made out of glass because I can take a few hits" I said frowning.
I know that they are worried about me getting hurt but I have to do this because I have to find out for myself if I can truly do this. If I don't make the cut then that's okay but if I do then even better but I'll never know if I don't try. I want to be part of something greater than myself and maybe the hockey team is my chance to do it.
"Are you serious about this, Elsa?" Eric asked curious.
"As a heart attack" I said with a nod.
"Okay then I'm behind you 100%" Eric said smiling.
"Me too" Kristoff replied. "I think you're crazy but I'm behind you" Flynn said folding his arms.
"Thanks guys, I appreciated this" I said hugging them.
"Just try not to get yourself killed out there on the ice" Flynn said jokingly.
Only Flynn. I just hope that this doesn't come back to bite me in the butt.
