1 : A Blanche in Arendelle
I was writing on my essay homework when suddenly my radio messed up, making my favorite song played at the moment sounded so deep and somewhat funny. My concentration broke and I let out a sigh.
"I should have buried you." I said to the radio.
I took it and slapped it thrice, then the sound started to sound back to normal. Mr. Brain tried to continue my essay, but my concentration has already broken, now I need a cooler! Haagen Dazs might help, yes? I took one with strawberry flavor from the kitchen and lay on a hammock in the backyard. Savouring every spoon of ice cream, I let the cool autumn breeze hit my body. It is a perfect relaxation.
Suddenly, a man in his 40s with greased brown hair and brown mustache in tux approached me, then he bowed slightly at me.
"Miss Elisabeth, it's time for your crafting lesson, Mrs. Corona is already waiting for you."
"Now, what have I told you before, Kai? Call me Elsa and don't bow at me like that!" I said annoyedly.
"But it's already in the rules, milady. Your father strictly warns me so, and you have the right to be called it."
I sighed. This man will never stop, huh? No matter how much annoyed or uneasy I am. "We've been together since I was five! We're best friends, and best friends don't do that. Please, Kai?"
Kai, my loyal butler best friend, smiled. "If you wish, milady. But I'll do it only if your father is not around."
I joined him smile. He dismissed himself, leaving me alone on my hammock, staring into the blue sky. It's Sunday and I still have lessons to do. I guess Sunday is just school at home more than weekend to me. I quietly sighed and jumped off from hammock. I went to my room and changed into a more appropriate clothing and then went to the study room. Mrs. Corona's eyes averted from the book she read to me. Her smile rose.
"Sorry if I'm a bit late." I casually apologized and sat across her.
"You're always on time, Miss Elisabeth."
I groaned. "You, too! Why does every single people in this house must call me that? That name is ugly as hell!"
"It is a nice name, you must be thankful of it, Miss Elsa." She chuckled. So she was only joking.
"Want ice cream?" I shoved my Haagen Dazs at her.
"Nope, no sugar rush for this day."
Then we began the crafting lesson. Mrs. Corona taught me to make sunflower with papers and unused thin branches. When I almost finished it, she poked me. "Hey, Miss Elsa, want to know something?"
I looked up at her. "What?" She took out an origami-sized white paper and folded it into... Something. It looks like a bird. "Is that a bird?"
"Precisely, crane. Look at this, isn't this unique?"
"Unique as in, dull and nothing cool? Yes."
"Now, Elsa." She spun the crane origami slowly. "This is a paper crane. There is a legend. A legend that promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane."
I strangely listened to her, as if the story is interesting, when I don't really believe in myths. She continued, "and instead of just one wish, it can grant eternal luck such as long life or recovery from illness or injury. But, it must be completed within one year and they must all be made by the person who is to make the wish at the end."
Drowning on each words Mrs. Corona had said, I sat in silence, staring at the sunflower craft I had made. I'm never really into crafting. I was told to study this lesson. The others, too. Manners lesson, aikido, painting, poetry, piano, violin, German, French, Chinese, Russian... They are all not on my will. I never chose to learn what and not to learn what. It's all... Royal orders...
I'm just a royal bloodline, trying to dress and act like normal people, because I don't want to be a royal... And it failed miserably...
If it's possible to start from the bottom again, not as a royal but as a normal person, I'd really love to.
Even if it's just a dream.
"Is there any guarantee my wish will come true?"
"As long as you don't wish for negative things... It's worth a try!" Mrs. Corona smiled.
I looked at the crane in her hands and nodded.
My cellphone buzzed several times. I had tried to ignore it, but now it was really urking. I pushed the answer button and placed my phone on my ear.
"Hello?"
"Flake! Oh my God, do you really have to ignore me? I've called you six times!"
I immediately recognized the voice. I didn't look at the caller ID before. "Oh, I'm so sorry Toni. I was busy."
He sighed on the other line. "That's okay. I was starting to think you slipped in the bathroom and died instantly."
"Mean! I'm so sorry, okay?"
We broke into laugh. "What are you doing, anyway? Until you got that busy. Usually you would answer my call in, like, second ring."
"I'm making paper cranes." I answered excitedly.
"The one thousand paper cranes? Do you really believe that myth?"
"There's nothing wrong with believing in myth for once," I pouted.
"Then I guess I wish you a good luck, Flake."
I smiled. Toni is very nice. Toni is a guy I met in Tumblr. He saw my feed and messaged me that my feed was cool. I checked out his too, and his was just as cool as mine! We started to get know each other, but we didn't reveal ourselves. He knows everything about me, my dislikes, my likes, my worries, my fears... Everything but me and my status. We may trade phone numbers, but we never see each other's face.
Flake, or snowflakekitkats, is just my username for Tumblr. I'm Elisabeth Arendelle, daughter of the great Arendelle family, who is a renowned family because of its royal bloodline and owns a great company who is known worldwide. Soon, I will inherit everything and maybe I will become a Queen? Hahahaha no. But, uh, sadly, in case a prince will marry me, I got so many unimportant lessons I have told before and being told to study after school for two hours. I didn't like being a royal, so I often express my feelings into various drawings on Tumblr.
Toni knows I don't like my life. He always encourages me that my life is indeed valuable, no matter how much complicated my life is, despite of his not knowing that I'm a 'royal'. He, too, doesn't like his self at school. He said himself in school is just his fake self, he is just pretending so he could fit in. We are like best friends, we share our troubles and help each other. If only I knew him in real life... But, if I do that, he will like me not as Elsa, but as someone who's super rich.
"Hello? Flake, you there?"
"Ah. Sorry. I was spacing out a little bit... Can we continue this on text message?"
"I see, cranes are hard to fold, huh. 'Kay, see ya."
"See ya," I ended the call and continued to fold a crane. But then a ping sound came from my cellphone and it was a text from Toni.
tonisolarskate: Wassuuuup
I smiled. He can never get away from me 24/7, huh?
snowflakekitkats: I suppose you have another trouble?
tonisolarskate: Yeah...
snowflakekitkats: I see. What is it?
tonisolarskate: Tomorrow iz monday! SCHOOL! HOLY-DAY IS OVER, BLESS US!
snowflakekitkats: I never knew you loved school :o
tonisolarskate: Puhlease! Sarcasm intended!
snowflakekitkats: My paper cranes said goodbye to you
tonisolarskate: No wait FLAKE WAIT NOOOOO
I locked my phone and threw it on my bed. My eyes darted to five paper cranes, two is completed and the other three are almost done. I picked it up and continue folding it.
995 more.
"Miss Elsa, it's time to wake up." Kai said while knocking on my door.
Hell... It's Monday and I have no motivation to come to school... If it's not for my grades, who the hell cares about school..?
"I'm awake..." I yawned and sat. I rubbed my eyes, and then showered. I don't really dress much to school, so I usually wear sweater and leggings or jacket and jeans. But today I feel like wearing sweater.
After showering and putting my clothes on, I put on my favorite cherry lip balm, because my lips are dry most the time. I looked at the mirror and saw myself. A girl with no make-ups, unlike the other girls in my school who look like putting cake on their faces. My long pale blonde hair, I never curled or straighten it. I just love to put it into a braided bun. My blue eyes are original, I never put on any 'cosmetic contact lenses'. I'm just me, an original me. But still, I couldn't bear to lie to other people in school that I'm...
"Miss Elsa? Are you in there?"
My head snapped toward the door. "Y-yeah! I'm coming downstairs!"
I picked up my bag and opened the door to see Kai, waiting for me to escort me to the dining room. When I arrived there, I saw my father. I gulped. It's rare to see him nowadays, he is always so busy. Kai bowed and dismissed himself. I sat on the chair the farthest away across him and ate my breakfast.
"How was your sleep?" He asked suddenly.
"Fine."
"Did you study for today's lessons yesterday?"
"Yes, Father."
"How was your crafting lesson yesterday?"
"Good. Mrs. Corona taught me to make sunflowers from papers." And paper cranes, I added mentally.
"I see." He savoured his breakfast quietly.
I wanted to eat as fast as I can and get the hell out of this house. It was way too awkward here. So when I did, I quickly spun to run. "Elisabeth." And I halted. Slowly, my eyes looked at him. "Remember, today, tomorrow, and so on until you graduate, at school, you're no Elisabeth Arendelle. Who are you?"
As if I want to be called by that weird name.
"I am Elsa Blanche."
And I'll never be an Arendelle.
