Hello loves. Sorry for the wait. Enjoy! DISCLAIMER: I own nothing you may recognize. Everything belongs to its respectful owners.
Anna was annoyed. School had been way more boring than she thought, but good thing she was going to lunch next. She, her sister, and their friends sat at the same table. There was an unspoken system; whoever got there first secured the table for everyone else, and they just filled in. It worked well, Anna thought. Jack, somewhat unsurprisingly (that boy maintains a very committed relationship with food), was the only one at their table when Anna arrived. They exchanged the normal waves and smiles when she sat down, immediately getting her lunch out and eating. The whole thing was a little awkward in Anna's eyes, especially without Elsa. Anna' elder sister was usually early to things. Anna assumed the teacher wanted to go over classwork before their month-long break. Just as she thought this, Elsa walked in.
"Speak of the devil and she shall appear," Anna muttered. Her sister sat next to her and smiled broadly. She took out a plastic container from her lunch box, placing it on the table before her. Elsa seemed, to Anna, to be in high spirits.
"Well, someone's chipper today," Jack remarked, taking a large bite of sandwich and grinning.
"Ms. Level assigned us an essay," Elsa replied, as though it were obvious. Jack shook his head, smiling softly.
"Ah, yes. You and your love affair with essays." Jack jokes, again taking a bite of sandwich.
"You say that like it's a bad thing," Elsa replies, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, smirking. She stabbed at a piece of chicken with her fork.
"Just pointing it out." Jack glanced at Elsa from across the table. He smirked.
"An observation, my man," Elsa now looked just as amused, looking down and grinning at her salad. Anna stifled a laugh. Conviently, the others in their circle joined as Jack attempted to rebut.
"What are you guys' plans for the break?" Rapunzel asks. Elsa and Anna shared a knowing look, glancing at their cousin. She knew about their trip to Norway following their parents' return from a business trip. The rest gave their responses, and the rest of lunch went without incident.
Elsa, Anna, and Rapunzel had art together, which worked in their favor. As they, along with the rest of the class were bustling about for supplies an office aid came over the intercom.
"Ms. Beaumont, can I see Anna, Elsa, and Rapunzel in the office, please?"
"Yes. They're on their way," The teacher replied, gesturing for the girls to go ahead and go. When they got there, the principal took them into her office. Rapunzel's mother was waiting for them inside.
"Sit, please, girls," She said, clearing her throat. "Agnarr and Iduna, who I know you both were close to, were involved in a plane crash and, unfortunately, didn't survive. I extend my condolences. Your aunt, Arianna, will fill in on what is to come. Take as long as you need away from school to grieve accordingly." With that, the principal left, closing the door behind her. Both sisters found themselves unable to speak, feeling quite numb.
