Automatic Love ch. 2
Elsa's P.O.V.
Honestly my day is just getting weirder and weirder by the second. First, Ariel and her cronies hassle all the way to my locker. Second, Hans slams me against my locker and tries to punch me in the face. The first two are pretty normal for me considering it happens in some form or another.
The next one is still blowing my mind. Third, I get saved by Anna Anderson of all people and she managed to find me after I managed to lose her in a sea of students. Why is she sitting to me of all people? Why was she even trying to talk to me?
She's Arendelle High's Sweetheart so why is she wasting her breath on a loser like me? The class was filling up quickly until Mr. Weaseltown walks in with his ridiculous toupee. Everyone knows that he wears one so what's the point.
He starting about derivative of a line or something, I wasn't paying too attention since I already knew the material since I didn't want to take Trigonometry. I laid my head in the crook of my arms and quickly fell asleep.
I know that I should be paying attention but this class is so boring that I know a few others have fallen asleep already. It didn't feel like I was asleep for too long when I felt something kick me in the shin.
My head shot to see that it was Anna who kicked me and I glared at her when Weaseltown called on me. I pulled at the board to see the problem and mentally solved it.
"What's the answer to the problem, Winters?" Weaseltown asked trying to make me look stupid.
"The slope is 2" I said smirking.
He looked surprised that I answered the question correctly. His face was turning red from embarrassment as some students snickered at his fail attempt. I was pretty pleased with myself and I snuck a look at Anderson only to make eye contact with her.
She gives me a bright smile and a thumbs-up and I looked down in embarrassment. I can't believe that I got caught staring at her… well I wasn't really staring at her. What am I? Some kind of stalker now? What the hell is wrong with me?
I can't afford any kind of contact with her now. It's too dangerous since she's friends with Hans or least dating him. She'll probably tell him that I was giving her weird looks during class and have him kick my ass all the way to Timbuktu.
I have to be on my guard with her, just like I am with everyone else. Anna isn't too different from anyone and I don't trust anyone. Keep everyone at arms' length and then some. Conceal, don't feel! Conceal, don't feel! Conceal, don't feel!
I repeat my mantra over and over in my head. It serves as a reminder that I shouldn't get emotionally involved with anyone so I won't get hurt. I'll be able to properly to protect Olaf and I from the world. Time seemed to drag on and I really want to get of here.
After what feels like an eternity, the bell finally rings and I make a beeline for the door. I plan to make sure that I lose Anna for sure this time and I seems like I did. I make it through my next two classes without seeing the red-headed cheer captain.
It's lunchtime and I made my way up to the roof. I eat lunch up here because I don't have to deal with Hans, Ariel or anyone bothering me up. It does help that the view up here is pretty cool and I feel on top of the world.
I sit on the floor against the railing as I put out a PB&J sandwich and take a bite out of it. The door slams opens revealing a tall blonde guy with a black t-shirt that says 'Reindeer are better than people' on the front. That is my one and only best friend Kristoff.
"Hey Elsie, I know that I would find you up" He said smiling.
I push my hoodie back and rolled my eyes at him. Of course he would find me up here. Where else would I go? I continued to eat my sandwich when Kristoff sits next to me as he pulls out a carrot from his backpack. I swear he always has carrots in his backpack. I wonder if that's all that he carries in there but who knows.
"Oh you won't believe what I heard" Kristoff said with a smirk on his face.
"Probably not but you're going to tell me anyways" I said in a bored tone.
"I heard from a very reliable source that Arendelle High's very own Sweetheart came your rescue this morning" He said patting me on the back.
"Pfft rescue, yeah right! It was a lucky coincidence that she was at all and I don't see why you're so impressed by this" I said frowning.
"Because it's Anna Anderson: the most popular girl in school and she saved you. She's like your Warrior Princess in a Pink Dress" Kristoff said dramatically.
I don't know why the thought of Anna in a pink dress with a sword in hand made me laugh but it was pretty funny. It's a nice idea/fantasy but I live in the real world and I don't have that luxury. Kristoff knows how to make me laugh and I am grateful to have him around.
"I think you need to come out of your fantasy that you set up for me because there's no way that's going to happen" I said finishing off my sandwich.
"Why not? It could happen"
"Only in your head and I rather not see what's in there though I have a pretty good idea" I said smirking.
"So what does she look like?"
"Who?"
I have no idea of who he's referring to. The blonde gives me a look that says 'Seriously'. Who can mean anyone?
"Anna? Is she hot?" Kristoff asked loudly.
"I guess, I didn't stick around long enough to find out" I said shrugging.
"What do you mean you didn't stick around? She's your savoir and you ran away from her. I swear Elsa, sometimes you really are a piece of work" Kristoff said shaking his head.
"You knew that when you met me" I said smirking.
Kristoff looked over the railing over the school grounds to see other students lounging around talking to friends and eating lunch. His eyes seems to stick on a particular group and I follow his gaze to that it was cheer squad with Anna in the middle of it.
She was smiling and laughing with her friends. Everyone just adored and she waves a few people walking by her group.
"So that's Anna Anderson. Man, she's smoking hot"
"I guess if you're into cheerleaders" I said in a tone of indifference.
Kristoff turned to me and he had this weird look on his face. It was making me really uncomfortable and I don't like it. He returns to looking over the front of the school. I was getting a bad feeling in my stomach and I know that this won't be good.
"HEY ANNA!" Kristoff yelled over the railing before ducking down.
Anna was looking around for who had called her name. She searched through the hoards of kids before looking up at the roof. For a moment, our eyes connected as I ducked to the ground. Well that was embarrassing. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT KRISTOFF DID THAT?! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH HIM!?
I'm so going to prison for murdering my best friend. I turned to see that blonde was laughing his ass as I kicked him in his stomach. I felt some satisfaction when he groaned in pain and he deserves it. The bells signally that lunch is over and class starts back up again.
Oh joy, more torture! I grabbed my back pack and pulls my hoodie over my head. Kristoff dusts himself as he gets up from the ground.
"Was kicking me in the gut really necessary?" He asked rubbing his gut.
"Just be happy that I kept it above your waist" I said walking away.
"Sometimes I wonder why we're best friends" Kristoff said shaking his head.
"Hey, something we agree on" I said laughing at him.
We walked to the gym for P.E. and I know that it's gonna be hell. I honestly think that Coach Shang has it out for me and I haven't done anything to the man. Luckily, I wear my P.E. uniform under my clothes so I don't have to go into the locker-room.
I hid behind the bleachers in the gym and quickly take my clothes off. I had my blue P.E. shorts under my jeans but I had put my P.E. shirt in my backpack. I just put the shirt on over my wife beater. I hid my backpack behind the bleachers so no one will try and steal it… again.
I sneak out of the bleachers and quickly found Kristoff. He was talking to Aladdin about something. I met Aladdin in 8th grade and he's a decent guy. Al is one of the few people that didn't hassle me. I walked to Kristoff and Aladdin.
"Elsie, you finally showed up" Kristoff said smiling.
"Hey Elsa" Aladdin said holding out his fist.
"Not like I have a choice. Hey Al" I said bumping our fists together.
"Alright maggots, we'll be playing dodge ball. Hans and Kristoff, you're team captains so choose your teams" Coach Shang said with his arms folded.
Luckily I was put on Kristoff's along with Al. The gods are giving my break… sorta. I followed behind Kristoff to one side of the gym when I bumped into someone.
"S-Sorry" I stammered out.
"It's okay, I wasn't watching where I was going"
I looked to see that it was Anna. Oh come on, seriously! Why is it that I always run into this girl?! What did I do? Is this karma for something I did in a past life? I just want to be left alone but it doesn't seem to be working.
Anna looks up with those big teal eyes of hers and I can feel my cheeks start to burn. Why the hell is wrong with me? I shake my head and walked to the other side. The game erupts into a full-out war zone. Balls are flying and I was doing my best not to get hit in the face.
My team was the defensive with most of the football team on Hans' team. Of course that would be the case here. I rolled my eyes as a ball whips past my head. I looked to see Hans smirking at me and I knew that it was him that threw it.
Kristoff seeming to know that I was a little off and tossed me a red ball. I catch it and cocked my arm back. I know that I wouldn't be able to hit anyone with but I know it will get caught and I'll be out. I throw the ball with all my might towards Hans just to wipe that stupid smirk off his face.
I don't know what happened next but all I know was Hans was currently on the floor, holding his stomach and groaning in pain. Balls hit the ground from Hans' and everyone stared at me like I grew a second head. I guess it was enough time to give everyone on my side to hit everyone on the other side.
I was lifted off the ground by Kristoff and everyone was patting me on the back.
"I never knew that you had such great arm, Elsa" Kristoff said grinning like an idiot.
"Neither did I" I said nervously laughing.
Man, I'm so dead. Hans is so gonna kick my ass for this one. Hans was taken to the nurse's office as class continues. Coach Douche bag made us do suicides and I am dying here. Why do we even have to do this? Half of the people in this class aren't even going into anything athletic so this isn't even necessary.
I was overjoyed when the class was over. I walked over to the bleachers when everyone was in the locker-room and quickly changed into her regular clothes. I put my hoodie back on and was about to walked out of the gym.
"Hey, wait up"
I stop and looked over my shoulder. I froze in my tracks to that it was Anna and she's running towards me. I looked around to see if she was running towards someone else but nope, we're the only ones in here. No, I can't.
I can't deal with another high-maintenance, ditzy cheerleader. I flat out refuse, not again. I bolt out of the gym and run through the halls if I can out-run her and make it to my next class, I'll be gold. I take a right and quickly making a left. I was a few steps away from my 5th period Art class and it seems that I managed to give Anna the slip.
"That was almost too easy" I said chuckling a little bit.
"What was?"
I jumped a little to see Anna against the wall next to the door of my class. Damn, this girl is fast! Just my luck. Just ignore her Elsa and she's leave you alone. I continue to walk past her and walk into the classroom with the red head following in.
Why is she following me? Doesn't she have better things to do? Is she that bored that she follows the school's loner around? I sit at one of the empty tables in the back and Anna sit right to me. I sigh a little before pulling out my iPod with my headphones and my sketchbook.
I put it on a random song and started drawing. I like Art class since no one really bothers me in here and I can work on skills as an artist. I was working on a portrait of Olaf with his arms wide open and a talk bubble with his catchphrase 'Hi, I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs'.
I smile a little as I worked on the fine details in his hair since it slightly covers his eyes. I love my little brother and he gives the best hugs. If I wasn't in class, I definitely spending time with Olaf an eating chocolate and watching Disney movies.
The song on my iPod changed to Silly Boy by Eva Simons. I don't really like pop music but I like Eva Simons though. Her songs have some meaning behind it and the beat is really good. I felt someone tapping on my shoulder and I stopped drawing.
I see that it's Anna with a smile on her face. Does this girl ever stops smiling? Her mouth is moving but I have no idea what she was saying. I stare at her with a blank look and I'm not sure if she can see it with my hoodie over my face.
She sighs a little at me. I was about to say something when she gently takes my headphones off of my ears and places them around my neck. I feel the heat creeping around my neck as her fingers brush against my neck.
Seriously, what the hell is wrong with me? I usually hate people touching me or any kind of contact with people.
"I said that I like your drawing. Is that your little brother? He's so cute that I just want to hug him. Hehehe sorry, I tend to ramble a lot and don't know when to shut up. Least that's what my friends tell me anyways. This is awkward. Not that you're awkward, I'm awkward. Uh you're gorgeous. Wait what?" Anna said covering her mouth.
I cover my mouth with my hand as I tried to contain my laughter. I couldn't help it. Seeing the most popular girl in the school rambling is pretty funny and you should see her face. It's almost as red as her hair. It was a good minute before I could calm myself.
I look at her and see that she's laughing as well. I guess she's used to getting this kind of reaction from people.
"Alright class, your homework for today is to draw something from your own fantasy. It can be a person or place but it has to detailed and colored by Friday" Mr. Stevenson said packing up his stuff.
I have a general idea of what I want to do from this project and I'm kind of excited to get started on it. I put my sketchbook and my iPod in my backpack. My last period of last of the day: free period.
I have absolutely nothing to do until 3:15 and I like to just skip this period to pick up Olaf but the school has cameras everywhere. What to do? What to do?
"Winters! Wait up"
I don't even need to turn around to know who was calling my name. It has to be Anna since she's the only one who's been following me around this much.
Most of the students would pick on me for about an hour at most then leave me alone. No, not Anna. She has to follow me around like a lost puppy. I like puppies and everything but damn. Could she give it a rest already! I don't see what's she's getting out of following me around like a stalker.
I continued to ignore her and make my way for the library. I know that I can get some peace and quiet from everyone. Anna couldn't possibly follow me in here. She has to have another class to get to. Please let her have another class to get to! Please! I'm begging here!
I walked into the library sadly with Anna in tow. The universe obliviously hates me right now and is getting its kicks out of my suffering. I nod my greeting at Belle who works in the library. I grab my usual book from the shelf and throw myself in one of the beanbag chair.
"So you like to read. That's cool so what's your name?" Anna asked sitting in the beanbag chair.
I groan as I try to ignore her but she's making it increasingly difficult. Why can't she see that I want to be left alone? You think she would take a freakin hint and just leave.
"Not much of a talker. I get that but you could least tell you me your name. My name's Anna by the way" Anna said holding out her hand.
I sigh and put my book in my lap. I look at her then at her hand then back at her. She holds her hand for a minute before recoiling it. I know that I'm being rude and everything but I just don't want to talk to anyone especially to a cheerleader.
They're the main reason along with the jocks that high school is a living hell for me. I'm sorry if I choose not associate with them. I lend back into the beanbag chair and bury myself deep into the pages of my book. I like reading the Percy Jackson series and I'm almost finished with Mark of Athena.
I was so wrapped up in my book that I almost missed hearing the bell ring. I returned the book to it's rightful spot and grabbed my back pack. I was about to leave when I noticed that Anna was had fallen asleep in the beanbag chair.
I really want to just leave her there but my conscience wouldn't let me. I sigh and shook her lightly on the shoulder. She groaned a little but rubbing her eyes. She looks like a red kitten when she does that. She's kinda cute when she does that. Wait what? What the hell was that? I shake my head as I stood up.
"Thanks for waking up. I would have kept on sleeping if it wasn't for you and missed practice so thank you.. again" Anna said smiling at me.
I just shrug my shoulder and walked away. She follows me out the library and onto the parking a lot. Why is she following me? I thought she said that she has practice or something. I was about to get into my car when I was grabbed by my hoodie and slammed into the side door of my car.
This is the second time that I was slammed into something and hit the back of my head. What the hell? Why do people like pushing me up against things? I was having trouble breathing as Hans was pressing his arm into my throat.
"You think that you're so slick don't you, Ice Queen. You think what you did in gym was so funny" Hans said through gritted teeth.
At the time,it was a little funny but I didn't know that I was going hit him. If I knew, I wouldn't have thrown the ball in the first place. I clawed at Sideburns' arms to get him off of me.
"Hans! Stop it now! Let him go now!" Anna shouted, pulling Hans off of me.
I fell to the ground, holding my throat. I was thankful for the air returning to my lungs.
Anna's P.O.V.
I couldn't believe that Hans would do that to someone. What in the world has gotten into him lately? He's becoming so aggressive lately and that's not the guy that I've fallen in love with. Although he's never been aggressive with me or anyone from our typical group of friends.
It doesn't excuse him from being horrible to other people. I may not know Winters' first name but he seems like a nice guy. I see him around the campus and he seems kinda lonely, always by himself. No one likes to be alone so I wanted to become his friend and get to know him a little better.
It seems like he doesn't to be around me but I will become his friend if it's the last thing I do. Hans was looking at me like I grew a second head or lost my mind.
"Anna, why are you defending this freak?!" Hans said frowning.
"He's not a freak! You have no right to call him and I don't want to ever lay an finger on him ever again or I'll never to talk to you again" I said folding my arms.
Hans glares at Winters before walking away in a huff. I'm gonna have to have a talk with him later. I turned to Winters and help him up to his feet. He dusted himself off and walked away from me.
"Are you okay?" I asked grabbing his arm.
He just nodded before unlocking his car. He's upset which is understandable but I wish that I knew why. He drives out of the parking a lot. I walked towards the field to see that the squad was already there, stretching. I walked up to Tiana who is my best friend and is like my sister.
We grew up together when the darker girl from Louisiana and the girl can cook like nobody's business. She knows almost everyone here at Arendelle High so she should know what Winters' first name is.
"Hey Tiana, can I talk to you about something?"
"What is it, Suga?" She asked looking at me.
"Do you know a guy named Winters?" I asked curious.
She taps her chin with a thinking look on her face. I really hope that she knows who he is.
"I don't know any guys with Winters as a first name"
"It's not his first name, it's his name. He's always by himself and wear a black hoodie to cover the top part of his face"
"I don't know any guys with that as a last name but I do know a girl with Winters as a last name" Tiana said snapping put of my thoughts.
"Who?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"Her name's Elsa. She doesn't talk much but does talk to Kristoff mostly and Aladdin on occasion" Tiana said shrugging her shoulders.
"Do you know anything else about her?" I asked wanting to know about Elsa.
"Why all the sudden interest in her?" Tiana asked raising an eyebrow.
"I just think that she could use a friend and I want to be her friend" I said smiling.
"All I know is that she has a little brother but that's about as much as I know" Tiana said standing up.
"Thank Tiana, let's start practice" I said smiling.
