"It's going to be okay. Just conceal it, don't feel it, don't let it show."
Those are the words I say to myself whenever I feel nervous. I'm Elsa by the way.
It's been months since my parents passed away. Now Anna, my sister, and I are getting ready to go to school.
I've been in my room as long as I can remember so, I had a private tutor, promising to keep things confidential of course, come for me ever since.
Meanwhile, Anna has been going to school and has made plenty of friends. Well, that's what I've been told by Dorothy, my lady in waiting.
Today Anna and I are going to a private school far from the castle.
Anna still feels upset about having to leave her old school, but I sense the feeling that she's still excited about going to a new school meeting new people.
I, on the other hand, am terrified of everything. I'm going to a public area with this power that I have been forbidden to show and use, and the fact that we'll be staying in dorms isn't helping at all.
*knock knock*
"who is it?" I asked, quite startled.
"It's Dorothy, my lady"
I open the door slowly, peeking from behind. Once I saw Dorothy I let her in and closed the door quickly.
"I came to help you pack, Miss. Just like you ordered me to."
"Yes, of course. Thank you" I said.
"Not at all Miss Elsa. It is my job to help you in your needs " She replied with a sweet smile.
"You haven't slept much have you Miss?" Dorothy asked as she was folding one of my favorite sweaters.
"You know that sleeping 4 hours is an improvement for me" I replied choosing what to wear.
"Shall I pack your books in your suitcase or your back pack?" She asked.
"Umm" I said while thinking "Put them in my suitcase please."
*Minutes later*
"Your things are packed and the car is ready Miss." Dorothy reported. " Your sister has requested to drive the car today"
"She's riding with me? what happened to her car?" I asked, wide-eyed, holding my hair as I was about to style it.
"She and her friends went on a late drive last night and well, lets just say it'll be awhile for her car to be back to normal." She replied
"Well, that certainly doesn't help me trust her in driving my car." I said, looking at her through the mirror, twirling my hair "Very well then. give her the keys to my car." I said, tying my hair into a bun.
As Dorothy left my room I stood in front of my tall mirror, looking at how I look.
I was wearing a beige button shirt under a long, dark blue knit sweater with a light beige skirt and white heels with ribbons on top. I had a sky blue ribbon on my bun and did a light make up.
"You'll be okay. Conceal. Don't feel. Don't let it show." I said calmly, wore my beige knit-finger mittens and walked towards my door.
I placed my hand above the doorknob, hesitating in opening the door for a minute, and finally opened the door.
I got my blue jean backpack off the floor, took a deep breath and stepped outside my room.
As I walked down the stairs I heard voices from the dining area, one of them being Anna.
"Can you believe it Dorothy?! I'm going to stay in a dorm!" Anna said excitingly.
"Yes, well, that doesn't mean you can just run around causing trouble Miss Anna" Dorothy replied
"Trouble? Me? I wont cause such thing!" Anna said in a sarcastic tone. " I'll miss my old friends though,and your delicious food chef Tony" She said
"Thank you Princess, I shall remember to prepare a big feast when you and Princess Elsa return." Tony replied
"Speaking of which, is she coming today Dorothy?" Anna asked.
"I'm here" I said.
Everyone had their eyes wide open with a surprised, shocked look in their faces.
"E-Elsa?" Anna questioned. "You'r-"
I cut her off before she could finish. " Ready to leave." I said "Have you prepared my lunch for the road Dorothy?" I asked
"Yes, Of course Miss" She said, grabbing the bag of sandwiches and a bottle of water and handing them to me.
"Thank you" I replied. "Well? Come on Anna! Let's go to school!" I said happily smiling at her
Her face lit up and she formed a big smile and said "Okay!" then stuffed her face with pancakes and ran out with a bottle of orange juice.
she stopped in front of the car door and ran back inside to hug the others goodbye. I said my goodbyes too of course.
Then she quickly sat on the driver's seat of my blue convertible and started the car.
We didn't talk much on our way. To be fair, I did shut her out for years. I looked at her and tried to start a conversation.
"I like your outfit today" I said.
"Oh, um, Thank you. I like yours too" she replied.
She had a white top under a black and red flannel with black pants and brown leather knee high boots.
Her make up was light and she had her hair in a loose side braid. She also had a gray scarf and purple back pack.
"So, New school huh?" she said, trying to continue the conversation.
"Yeah." I replied, and paused for a second " Do you smell that?" I asked
She and I sniffed simultaneously and said " Hot chocolate!" we both laughed after saying that.
" I think its coming from that cafe over there" Anna said directing at a cafe called "Lily's"
"I think they have a drive thru" I replied.
We then stopped for a extra large cup of hot coco and had a fun drive to school.
I felt like my relationship with Anna has gotten better now.
Looks like things will be okay.
