Anna didn't know what to think as she stood in front of the Undergraduate Admissions office with a map in her hand. She clutched the paper tightly in her hand, close to her chest as she stepped forward. She curiously glanced at the line ahead and let out a sigh upon seeing the endless queue.
The line moved slower than a snail. But hey, it was freshmen orientation week. This line was the least of her worries. Don't get her wrong, she was ecstatic to be able to attend such a prestigious university like Arendelle, especially considering she was the first from her orphanage to be able to attend college, but it was daunting.
Campus was beautiful, and she had fallen in love with immediately upon visiting last spring. Sure the place was a little cold, but it wasn't something a little jacket couldn't resist. The trees, the lakes, the place was like a palace.
The line moved forward a step. Anna rehearsed what she was going to say to the lady up front in her head countless times. She shook her head, reprimanding herself for worrying unnecessarily. Yet, there was one small thing she was anxious about. Her roommate. Sure Anna had grown up in an orphanage where she had shared rooms with others before, but this was different. This would be a one on one roommate experience. Anna was more the outgoing type, preferring to be surrounded by a crowd. Whoever her roommate was, Anna hoped she was in the same boat she was in.
By the time she had reached the front of the line, Anna was exhausted from carrying her suitcase. The rollers had broken on the boat ride to college, resulting in a rather difficult process of moving in. She was out of breath as she leaned against the counter. The lady who sat in front of her had hawkish eyes behind a pair of thin framed glasses. Her hands were poised carefully on the computer keyboard next to her.
"Can I help you?" she asked in a nasally voice.
"Uh…Anna Oaken," she said breathlessly. Oaken was the caretaker of her orphanage, and everyone there had taken up his name as their last name for official purposes.
"You're in group three," the lady said without looking up.
"Thanks?"
The lady gave her a glowering look before pointing to the courtyard on the right, "Meet there at ten o'clock in the morning tomorrow. Don't be late, or they'll leave without you."
"Right," she nodded her head vigorously. Ten? That wasn't too bad, right? "Can I have my room assignment, please?"
The lady paused her typing for a moment before heaving a sigh. She muttered under her breath. Anna caught a few words like "teenagers, annoying, demanding."
The lady handed her a key with a room number attached.
"Don't lose it. Replacement keys are two hundred dollars cause our locks and keys are from the founding of the school. Everything here is ancient," the lady said in a bored voice.
Wow, they really knew how not to stress people out on their first day. Anna thought this quietly to herself.
"Thank you," she said pleasantly before grabbing the keys. She slipped them into the folds of her jacket before using both hands to lift her suitcase. She had made it a few steps before the handle snapped, leaving her with no option. Anna simply stood there, not quite sure what to do.
She made a lunge to grab the bags laterally, but before she could, a pair of strong arms had picked it up. She looked up to find a small smirk on the other person's face.
"Newbie?" he asked teasingly.
"Uh, yeah," she replied, glaring daggers at him.
"Here, let me help you," he offered. "Name's Kristoff. I would shake your hand, but as you can see, I am otherwise occupied."
"Why would I trust you?" Anna demanded, her arms crossed over her chest.
"Cause you don't want to lug this up who knows how many flights of stairs?" he said. "No elevators in the dorms. Like the say, everything is ancient here."
"You sure this is not a way of trying to seduce me?" she asked outright.
Kristoff turned a bright red, "Look, little lady, I don't even know your name. I was just offering to help. Jesus. If you don't want help, I can just turn around and…"
"Sorry, sorry. It's the nerves. No, I'd love help."
"'S what I thought. What's your room number?" he muttered.
"504," she said, looking at the key.
"Five flights of stairs?" he looked dazed at the prospect.
"Chicken?" Anna grinned. "I'll race ya!" She took off running into the caste styled dorm building. The stairs were long and winding in the tower, like Hogwarts! Her head began to spin, but she continued, not waiting for Kristoff.
As she reached the top, she let out a sigh of relief. The scene was gorgeous from the top window of the hallway. The shimmering lake a few hundred meters below them. The evergreen forests surrounding the area just added to the perfection of the scenery.
Anna began looking at each door number as she continued. She noted the numbers were decreasing in order as she continued. She stopped suddenly. 504. This was it. The door was locked, so her roommate must already be there. Should she knock? That was only polite.
She closed her eyes, taking a deep breath as she raised a fist to the door. She lowered it, but she wasn't quite sure what happened next. Expecting her knuckles to hit wood, she was surprised when they hit something much softer.
Anna immediately opened her eyes, shocked. There in front of her was the most gorgeous girl she had ever seen. With long blonde hair plaited to the side, she looked like a queen. Like she belonged in the palace setting of the school. Her piercing blue eyes looked at Anna with amusement as she judged her.
"Oh my god. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to. I was just going to knock. I'm really sorry!" As Anna continued to apologize profusely, Elsa simply smiled. Oh yes, this year was going to be really interesting.
"Don't worry about it," she assured the younger girl. "It happens. I assume you're my new roomie?" She let out a small chuckle in reassurance.
Anna's blush was turned an even darker red in embarrassment, "I'm super sorry. I'm Anna Oaken."
"Elsa Arendelle, pleased to make your acquaintance," she shook her hands firmly with the still apologetic girl. "We're going to have such a good time this year."
Please let me know how I did and whether I should continue it. Elsanna FTW! My friend Swaqq (who shares this account) will be writing the chapters. Him the more M rated stuff. The rating will eventually be moved up to M.
