"Elsa!" A a girl with strawberry blonde hair hit me in the face with a pillow.
"Wake up!" she hit me with another pillow.
"Go away" I groaned as I pulled the blanket over my head.
I lifted up the covers the slightest bit, and my alarm clock said it was only 5:30 am. It was to early for this.
"Elsa!" she again. What? What could Anna possibly want now? Don't get me wrong, I love her to death. I would do anything for her, it's just sometimes she can be really annoying. Like really, really, really, annoying.
"What do ya want you little hyena?" That was my nickname for her.
"Today's the first day of school!" Anna jumped up and down.
"Come on sis!" Anna whined when I moaned in protest. I really hated school. Though it wasn't really the learning part I hated. At my old school I was teased and picked on because I was the "Shy girl."
Reluctantly, I sat up and stretched. Besides Mother dear, Papa, and Anna, I didn't talk to any body. I mean except Punzie of course. But still, she was my cousin. My cousin that would be going to the same private school as me. I smiled at that thought. Maybe this year will be a good year.
"Get ready, Mother made breakfast, and expects us to leave by 7:00. So if I were you, I would put my bags in the car."
I opened my eyes in shock. I forgot to pack! I mean I packed clothes, but not my other stuff! It wasn't like me to forget this stuff! I threw my blanket of me, ran into the bathroom, and started to get ready. It took me at least five minutes to brush all the knots out of my platinum blonde hair, and several more for a decent outfit.
I ran to my desk with a toothbrush in my mouth, and grabbed some markers and colored pencils I got for the school year. I also got two sketch pads for when I was bored. As I brushed my teeth with one hand, I grabbed a box in the other, and put some other stuff in there. Like The Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Divergent series, The Selection, Twilight series, some stuffed animals, my Paris bed spread, my paris lamp, hair stuff, gingerbread latte perfume, accessories for books, a few photo frames, and some other things.
I seized a messenger bag, and put the sketch book in there along with colorful pens, a compass, and a few other things.
While I did all of that, Anna sat on the edge of my bed and watched me.
"Gee sister dear, I'll give you some credit for being fast." Anna giggled. I rolled my eyes.
"Come on little hyena. Mother will be waiting." Anna got up, grabbed one end of the box, and I grabbed the other. Luckily, my room was on the first level, so we wouldn't have to drag it down the stairs.
"Thanks Anna, I owe ya one." I praised her when we got the box in the back seat of the car.
"No prob." She chuckled. "What are sisters for?"
As we walked back in the front door, we heard mother call us.
"Little rabbit! You need to hurry up and eat! It's an hour drive there, an Punzie will be here any moment. She will be riding with you." When she said Punzie would be coming over, Anna squealed.
"Yay!" she cheered as she ran into the dining room. I shook my head. Anna will be Anna.
I walked into the kitchen, and saw that mother had made my our favorite. Blue blueberry pancakes.Before I even sat down, Anna already had two pancakes shoved in her mouth. I shook my head. I looked down at my plate, and sighed. Something told me it was going to be along school year.
"Darling, is something wrong?" Father asked when he looked up from his newspaper.
I was surprised by his question. "Wh-what?"
He took a sip of his coffee.
"You look upset about something" He pointed out. I sighed.
"I was just thinking about how much i'm going to miss sleeping in." It wasn't a lie. I spent all staying up late reading, and I tended to sleep in until noon. One time I literally stayed up all night reading The Hunger Games. I was exhausted the following night, because on top of the lack of sleep, mother took us to the pool for a few hours-and I swam the whole time- and I had to go to open gym for volleyball. I fell asleep the second my head hit the pillow.
"Elsa!" A voice snapped me back into reality.
"Uh, yeah?" I looked up, saw everyone besides Anna looking at me.
"Did you hear me?" Mother voiced.
"No?" I made it sound like a question.
"Are you taking Olaf with you?" Mother asked as she sat a glass of apple juice in front of me.
"Of course I am bringing Olaf with me. He is my dog after all" I stated.
"Woof!" We turned our heads to the entry way in time to see a fluffy white puppy walk in, staggering a little. Mother and I giggled and Dad shook his head while he took another sip of his coffee.
"Come here Olaf" I said in a baby voice. He wagged his tail happily and licked my face when I picked him up.
"Hello, my name is Olaf." Anna said after she gulped down some orange juice. I smiled.
"And I like warm hugs" I finished as I squeezed Olaf. Anna and I burst out laughing, while Mother and Father rolled their eyes.
Suddenly, we heard a knock at the door.
"I'll get it!" Anna called out, scaring me half to death. Mother laughed when she saw me jump.
"I'm here!" a cheerful voice called from the front door. A girl with bright green eyes and waist length braided blonde hair walked in.
"Elsie!" Punzie called out.
"Punzie!" I ran up and hugged her with one arm because Olaf was in my other.
"Aw!" Punzie squealed. "Who's this cute little fella!" Olaf wagged his tail, and struggled in my arms to lick Punzie.
"Here" I held Olaf out for Punzie to hold.
"Aren't you just the cutest little doggie ever!" I rolled my eyes, and Anna fell to the ground laughing.
"Hello, darling." Mother greeted Punzie.
I quickly finished my plate, and put it in the sink.
"Come on girls" I sighed. "It's going to be a long drive." After we hugged Mother and Father, Mother pulled me aside.
"Elsa can you promise me something?" Her eyes were wide, and she made it sound like it was urgent.
"Or course" She was my mother after all. I would do anything for her.
"Promise me you'll say at least 10 words to somebody you don't know." My eyes widened. She shook my shoulders
"Please Elsa" She begged. I nodded my head.
"Thank you" She whispered in my ear as she gave me a final hug.
"It took you long enough" Anna said when I entered the car.
" I had to look make sure I didn't forget anything" I lied easily. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that Anna had her mouth open, then closed it. She let it drop.
Halfway there, I decided to turn on the radio, and Counting stars by onerepublic.
Lately I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things we could be
But baby, I've been, praying hard
Anna Punzie sang. Eventually, after few catchy songs, I began to sing with them.
Just a young gun with a quick fuse
I was up tight wanna let loose,
I was dreaming of bigger things
And wanted to leave my old life behind
I took me a while to realize that Punzie and Anna had stopped singing, and that they were staring at me, wide eyed. Punzie's mouth was slightly open.
"What?"
"Elsa!?" Punzie whispered. " I didn't know you could sing so well!" I blushed slightly at her comment. I wasn't used to compliments.
"Thanks" I mumbled.
After that, we shared what happened to us this summer. Of course I didn't do anything exciting, but Punzie did. As she told the story, she stroked Olaf's soft fur as he slept in her lap. " And father insisted the we walk up every step of The Statue of Liberty. It was a long day." Punzie shook her head.
"That's just about it. How about you, Anna?" When she didn't respond, Punzie turned her head to look at her. Anna was sleeping. Punzie Stared at her for a second, then shrugged her shoulders.
"How about you Elsa?"
"I didn't do anything worth Telling. I mean I read a few books."
"What books?"
"Ya know the basics, The Hunger Games series, The PJO series, The selection series, The twilight saga series, Harry Potter series, Heroes of Olympus series" Punzie gaped at me.
"You read that many?" I thought about it a minute, and shrugged.
"I didn't think it was that many" I mumbled.
Punzie counted her fingers, and said, "Elsa! That's thirty books! Where did you find the time to read?"
"I don't know" I shrugged. Punzie stared at me for a moment in disbelief.
"Welp I'm taking a nap" Punzie yawned.
"Night, night" she mumbled. I rolled my eyes. After Punzie fell asleep, I turned the radio down, and drove in almost complete silence. Finally, we arrived to Lunar school.
"Punzie" I nudged her gently. " We're here."
Her eyes fluttered open, and she stretched her arms up.
"Already?" She moaned. " I was having a good dream. It was something about floating lights, and a lost princess that finally returned home." As Punzie rambled on, I softly shook Anna's shoulders.
"Wake up sleepy head, we're here". Her head tilted to the side, but she didn't wake up.
"Wake up!" Punzie shook her shoulders violently.
"Here let me try again." I cleared my throat.
" Free chocolate!" Anna's eyes flew open, and her posture straightened. "Chocolate" she mumbled with enthusiasm. " Where?"
Punzie and I broke down laughing.
"Not cool guys" she pouted when we calmed down. She crossed her arms, and turned her head to the side. She was all but sticking her tongue out like a little child.
She was being so dramatic.
"Come one little hyena. We gotta get registered." I lifted my bag above my head, and stepped out of the car, with Olaf in my arms.
