Chapter 2:

Anna didn't know what she expected. It's not like she hadn't done this before, she had been a freshman the previous year and knew what it felt like to meet her roommate for the first time. Of course, last year she had actually had the chance to meet her roommate as soon as she walked into the dorm. This year, as she entered the room, she saw no one in. It was evident that her roommate had already been in there. The farthest bed from the door had been occupied.

How organized, and clean. Anna thought. The room was indeed very organized. Everything that needed to be put away had already been put away: books, lamps, curtains, bedding, clothes. The girl's bed was done so neatly, Anna wondered if she had gotten there earlier than she should have only to set up and avoid meeting her. The frames on the wall were also very simple, making the latter side of the room look very sophisticated. Compared to Anna's, who looked bare and empty, her roommate's was very elegant.

Very minimalist, she's probably a neat-freak. Oh god, what have I gotten myself into?

Anna finally decided she had spent too much time admiring the other girl's tastes and skills so she put everything in her bed, she figured she put everything in place later on as time progressed. She suddenly found herself exhausted. To her surprise, she had barely done anything that involved exercise but maybe it was just mental exhaustion.

As soon as she laid in bed and closed her eyes, her alarm went off. Going through her packets and finally locating it, she pulled it out and saw a notification.

North Aim, Inc. meeting at 1:30PM

"Shit!" She exclaimed and quickly stood up. It's 12:40PM, which means I only have a few minutes to get ready before getting to the office. Crap, I almost forgot about all the traffic. She opened her suit case as fast as she could, struggling to get the zipper undone. After a few hard pulls she finally managed to get it open. While scrambling her clothes all over the bed, she spotted a white button down and a dark, forest green skirt that would do the trick, or so she figured.

She got dressed in no time. Not bothering to even comb her hair, she ran through it with her fingers and picked it into a bun, a few strands going every which way.

She considered herself lucky for finding her lipstick in such a short amount of time. Quickly, she applied it and pursed her lips. The bright red made her freckles stand out but she didn't have time to apply anymore makeup.

Glancing at her phone's clock she hurried out the door. As she walked down the hallway towards the elevator, she noticed a line and figured she'd better take the stairs. After all, she was only in the second floor. She took long strides, almost running, her black heels making a sound that attracted everyone nearby. They looked and quickly moved out of her way, as if understanding she was in a hurry.

The drive had not been as bad as Anna thought it would be. Fortunately, she had made it fifteen minutes earlier than expected and as she entered the front lobby, she sighed in relief. She approached the front desk, submitted her resume and was told to have a seat along with the other applicants. She turned around and spotted three people. They looked like they had been waiting there a while, all looking at their phones probably finding a way to kill time.

Anna found an empty seat and placed her bag on the nearby table. She looked around while she waited. She didn't want to look through her phone just like the other candidates had done. I want to seem ready. I need this job. C'mon Anna, show them what you've got. You know you'll get through this. You're better than them. You were born for this moment and this moment alone, you're ready for-

Before she could finish her train of thought, Anna saw a woman approach the waiting area. She was tall, slim and blonde. Blonde? No, her hair is too light to be considered blonde. Weird, I've never seen this hair color before, and it doesn't seem like she dyed it, it looks so natural, a mixture of blonde and white. It makes her look so unique. It's as if she spent all her life living in the Antarctic. She must be in charge of conducting the interviews, she thought.

Little did she know, she was very wrong. The woman entered the waiting room and walked towards Anna.

Umm, what? Why is she walking towards me? And why is she now literally standing in front of me? Should I say something?

Anna looked up at the blonde and noticed that the blonde's blue eyes were already staring down at her.

"Umm, hi?" Said Anna nervously.

"You're sitting in my seat."

"Oh… Oh! I'm sorry, I wasn't aware someone was sitting here." Under normal circumstances, Anna wouldn't have moved, but she felt the blonde's glare and that made her very uncomfortable.

She gathered her things as quickly as she could, only to drop her phone and having to kneel before the blonde to pick it up. It seemed to her like the blonde was running out of patience. Anna ran to another seat, cheeks red and a drop of sweat running down her back. Her embarrassment probably wouldn't have been too bad if there hadn't been other people sitting around and witnessing what had just happened.

Great, and I still have to go through and interview. But wait, if she's not the interviewer- that must mean she's also and interviewee. And that means she's also my competition. Wonderful! Anna rolled her eyes as she finished her thoughts.

Those fifteen minutes were the longer fifteen minutes she had encountered in her life. The tension in the room quickly left as a very attractive young man came into the room.

"Ladies, if you'll please follow me. Mr. Oaken is ready to see you."

The blonde girl stood up before the others. She walked with so much confidence, as if everyone else was beneath her. A natural leader.

The young guy tried to make small talk as they all walked to the meeting room.

"Don't worry girls, Mr. Oaken might seem a bit tough but he's nicer than anyone else in this office. I can guarantee you that." He smiled widely. His green eyes shined so bright, and they were so warm. Anna realized if she had to trust this man with her life, she would.

"My name is Hans, by the way. If any of you does get the job, you'll be working right along with me." He stopped in front of a big glass door, Anna tried to see who was in there but her view was limited. Hans turned around to face them all and opened the door for them.

"In you go ladies, good luck to you all." And with that they stepped inside. The room was very silent and Anna thought it was because it was so big and empty. There were gadgets everywhere, it was just as if she was about to conduct a presentation. Oh shit, I hope I don't. I'm not ready for that.

"You like what you see, ya?" A big man said from the back of the room. The girls turned around and sat down around the table.

"I'm Mr. Oaken. I'm in charge of human resources and I'll be interviewing you ladies today. I had a look at all of your resumes and I must admit, they all look very impressive. Especially yours, Ms. Arendelle."

Arendelle? Arendelle as in Ygrette Arendelle? Were they related? Anna now understood why the girl seemed so confident. They were both born with it.


The interview didn't go too bad. Oaken was the nicest person Anna could have met, and the fact that he held an important position made it even more unbelievable. She was glad it was over with, although she was certain she wouldn't get the job. That Arendelle girl had been a favorite ever since they had walked into the meeting room. She had all the qualifications needed. She responded to every question with no hesitation and so much knowledge, how did she even know so much about the company? The way she finished each response with a smile and no room for improvement, made the rest of the girls feel out of place, as if they shouldn't even be there to begin with.

After the hour she spent at North Aim (which certainly felt much longer,) she called Kristoff so they could meet up for late lunch. Anna couldn't wait to tell him about her day, as uneventful as it had been, but she still had to let it out.

"I think you're over thinking things Anna, if her resume had impressed them so much they wouldn't have called all of you in the first place." Kristoff tried to reassure her, although he knew that it probably wouldn't work.

"See that's the thing, today was supposed to be another test—and I'm pretty sure she's the only one who made it." Anna tried not to look too disappointed, but it was inevitable.

"Well, how do you know? Did they say anything?"

"They're supposed to call us tomorrow and let us know…"

"Can you at least try to be more optimistic?"

"How am I supposed to do that exactly?" Asked Anna with a smirk as if challenging Kristoff.

"Oh, I know just the trick!" He winked as pulled out a small gift back from under the table.

"Kristoff… is that what I think it is?"

"Well, I don't know Anna Banana, what do you think it is?"

"I'm sure we both know it's chocolate." She tried not to lick her lips as soon as she finished saying the word chocolate. Kristoff just shrugged and handed her the bag. Anna was right, it was filled with a variety of chocolates, he either knew her too well is she was too predictable.

"So… tell me more about your day? I'm sure you didn't spend the whole day doing an interview."

Anna swallowed the piece of chocolate she had in her mouth, licking her fingers gently as she continued to talk. "It wasn't that exciting. Probably less exciting than yours. I still haven't met my roommate. Can you believe that?!"

"That is hard to believe…" He grabbed a napkin and reached for her chin, trying to wipe off the chocolate around her mouth.

"And then I met this girl-" Before Anna could go on, Kristoff interrupted her.

"Oh, a girl huh? It was about time you moved on."

"Kristoff…" Kristoff didn't realize that what he'd said brought sudden gloominess into the conversation. Evidently, she still wasn't ready to talk about that, and he doubted if she had moved on.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought it up so quickly, but please, tell me about this girl."

"Her names Ygrette, weird name, huh? Anyway, she's in charge of my floor and you won't believe this. She walked me to my dorm!"

"Isn't that what they're supposed to do though?"

"Well, I don't know but it was kind of weird. It got even weirder when she realized who I was rooming with."

"So wait, who are you rooming with?

"Kristoff, pay attention! I just told you I haven't met her yet."

"Oh! Right!"

"Anyway, I later found out that the Arendelle girl I met at North Aim might be Ygrette's sister or something."

"What makes you say that?"

"Well they're obviously both very confident in themselves, and they both share the same last name…"

"That could just be a coincidence-"

"Or maybe not, but most likely I'm right and you know it."

"Alright, fine. Have you finished your food? Cause I'm about ready to get going."

"Totally, let's go"


The drive home had been a short one. Anna was glad the day was almost over. Unfortunately, she still had to go and get her things set up. Ugh, I should have done it earlier when I was less tired. I wonder what my roommate's going to think when she sees my mess… I'm sure she'll understand when I explain the reason and the hurry I was in.

The sky was getting dusky as she entered Maple Hall. Many parents were barely getting ready to leave and Anna was glad she was no longer a freshman because she wouldn't have to go through that again.

She spotted Ygrette talking to some students. God she is sooo easy to talk to. Very unlike her sister, I guess that's what makes them different. Anna wanted to approach her, but as tired as she was she decided it would be best to just head towards her room and finish what needed to be done. Like finally meeting my roommate. Hopefully she doesn't try to evade me again.

All the halls were mostly empty. She figured everyone must be at the welcome party, she should probably be there as well but it wasn't a priority, besides she'd attended last year's. Perhaps if she had some time, she'd go.

Thinking about her day had gotten her distracted. She had arrived at her door and didn't even notice. She looked for her key everywhere, until she dug into her bag and finally found it. She took her heels off before opening and entering the room, heels in the same hand as her bag rested on. As she opened the door she saw a figure folding some clothes, facing the wall with her back towards her. Anna forgot how to speak when the first thing she saw was the unique hair color of the girl who she'd met earlier that day. It had to be her, long, slim figure. It all made sense all of the sudden. She was an Arendelle, Ygrette's sister. Of course! She was Elsa Arendelle. No wonder Ygrette had made a mystery out of it.

She had stood long enough that the other girl turned around and gave her a questioning look. "Oh, it's you again."

Anna nervously chuckled. "Who would have thought, right?"

The other girl looked disinterested, she turned back, ignoring Anna, as if no one had come in. "Certainly not me."

Anna didn't know what to do. She shut the door closed with the back of her foot, stepping slowly towards her bed and throwing her bag next to the night stand.

"I'm Anna, by the way-"

"I know. You told me and we've met." Anna didn't know why she was being so distant but she continued.

"Well I guess that makes you Elsa? I'm sorry, I can't keep thinking of how weird a coincidence this is, you know? But it's nice to finally meet you! I actually met your sister, of course I didn't know she was your sister until at that meeting today when I found out you were an Arendelle. That's when it hit me. Ha! And about the meeting, well you did great, I'm sure Oaken will give you the job. Have you had experience before? I'm sure you have you seem like a natural and-" Her nervousness had given her away.

"Do you usually talk this much?"

Anna's cheeks turned red. "I- Well… Yes, No. I mean yes, but don't worry it doesn't happen all the time."

"I certainly hope that you making a mess also doesn't happen all the time." Elsa eyed the room with an almost disgusted expression.

"Ah… yes. I was in a hurry for the interview. Do I really need to explain myself?" Anna was beginning to get frustrated. She rarely let anyone get on her nerves, but Elsa was something different.

"Please don't, but do pick it up." Anna almost screamed with exasperation. This was a battle, and the first battle for that matter. She couldn't let her win.

"You know what? I think I'll do it tomorrow. I'll be downstairs at the welcoming party your sister invited me to." Anna could have sworn she saw anger in her eyes. They stared at her for a good minute. Her light blue eyes turned into an almost neon blue, they almost gave off a glow. Anna didn't back off however, she continued to stare back. I can't let her win. Can't let her show her I'm weak. Suddenly, Elsa simply turned back around and ignored her, forgetting her existence. Anna was astonished. What could possibly be wrong with this girl?


AN: *wonders if anybody reads this*

So I haven't decided if I want to make Hans a bad character yet. I am taking suggestions as to what kind of interactions you guys expect from the characters. Do keep in mind that this will be mostly angst, with other elements involved.

Also let me know if you want me to incorporate other characters.

Enjoy!
