Arendelle High School. Anaheim, California. In such a well-known and populated city, it should come as no surprise that this high school is one of the largest campuses in Southern California. AHS hosts well over 3,000 students and these students are all on a journey. High school is just one chapter, a mere pit stop on the winding road that leads to the future. But that's not how she saw it…
"What the fuck?!" yelled Elsa. "This fucking noob tuber has no gun skill at all."
As she watched the killcam, she heard her best friend laughing through her headset.
"Ahaha! Dude, you're so fucking bad," taunted Anna. "7 and 14. Stop feeding their team killstreaks."
"Shut up! This game is shit anyways. It's filled with fucking no-lives."
"Well, I guess that makes you a no-life then! Considering this is basically all you did over the course of summer."
Listening to those words, Elsa reflected on the past 3 months of summer. Anna was right, she wasted her time at home, playing Call of Duty. Instead of going out to the beach, or partying with Anna and their "friends," the blonde isolated herself from the outside world. She wanted to forget everything about Junior year. In fact, she could care less about high school in general. It was filled with superficial people who were all self-centered and concerned only for themselves. This summer was used to get away from all of that.
"Hello? Earth to Elsa? Are you playing or what?" asked Anna, after a good 5 minutes of silence.
"Huh? Yeah, sorry. I was just doing some thinking…" replied Elsa. "The game hasn't ended yet? I thought we were getting raped."
"We were. And we still are. At this rate, we'd have to cap all three flags to try and come back."
"Alright then, let's try double capping with B."
BOOM! "DOUBLE KILL!"
"FUCKING A!" yelled Elsa, after she and Anna both died from another grenade launcher.
"Enemy nuke incoming! It's all over!" casted the Game Announcer.
"You're kidding… This son of a bitch got a nuke on us." said Elsa.
"Yup," replied the redhead. "Your fault, too. It was your call to try and cap B."
"Ok, genius. What else would you have tried?" asked Elsa.
"Haha! I'm just fucking with you! It's just a game, no big deal." said Anna
"DEFEAT" flashed on her T.V. screen and Elsa just shook her head and chuckled.
"God damn, you would think since I spend all my time playing this game, I'd actually be decent and not end up with a negative KDR."
Anna replied, "Whatevssss. It's time to check back in with reality soon. You ready for registration tomorrow?"
"Ugh, don't remind me. I don't want to go back to that godforsaken place."
"You may not want to, but you have to. Unless of course, you're fine with dropping out and becoming a bum. Since you know, you're already used to living like one."
Even though she couldn't see her, Elsa knew that Anna had the cheekiest grin on her face after mouthing those words.
"Oh, so you're a comedian now? You're hilarious!" replied Elsa sarcastically.
Anna laughed, "Relaaaax! I'm just messing with ya! Look, I know these past few years have been rough for you. Especially with what happened with your parents… But trust me, there's no way this year can be any worse! We've known each other since we were practically babies! And now look at us, you're a Senior! And well, I'm still only a Junior but I'm not gonna let you waste your last year of high school! You gotta come out of your shell."
In truth, Elsa realized that Anna was right. She knew there was no point in just sulking and feeling sorry for herself. But on the other hand, there was no reason for caring about school or the people in it. She just had to look out for herself and the few people she actually cared about.
"Thanks, Anna. But you and I both know that I couldn't give two fucks about school. It's just a waste of time, anyways."
"No, Elsa. Playing video games all day long is a waste of LIFE. You just have to stop being so pessimistic about things and maybe you'll have some eye-opening experience this year." lectured Anna.
"Since when did you become my psychologist?" scoffed the blonde, as she rolled her eyes.
"I'm not your psychologist," laughed Anna. "I'm your best friend and I'm just looking out for you."
"Yeah, yeah. I know," replied Elsa. "Thanks for the advice… I guess I'll talk to you tomorrow?"
"Of course! See you later, stinker," said the younger redhead as she signed offline.
Ugh, I don't understand why you're so excited about going back. You're insane. Why is high school depicted as this amazing experience that you'll never want to forget? I've lost so much in these past three years… Why am I still here? It's probably because of you. I couldn't even imagine being able to get through life, without you.
Tears flowed down Elsa's cheeks, as she sat there, overwhelmed with emotion.
Heh, if you actually saw me right now... What would you think? (sigh) I love you Anna. More than you'll ever know…
A/N: Hey everyone! Glad you decided to check out this little AU of mine. This fic was heavily inspired by "r9kElsa is Suffering" so the writing style may seem similar to that of AnonElsa's/kate-kane's. I do promise, however, that this story will distinguish itself as its own universe. Thanks for reading and please review! :)
