Chapter 2
I stared at the mirror before me. Silverish white long hair trailed down my back, long eyelashes creating dark shadows across my high cheekbone. My usually pale skin was the colour of a human, but still cold. Jack Frost became a girl. I became a girl.
"Wha- When- How did-"I spluttered, stopping short. I knew how. Nemesis was muttering under her breath just now. At least I don't look bad.
"How am I supposed to go to school in this?" I asked.
There was a moment of silence before-
"You've been turned into a girl and you're worried 'bout school?" Bunnymund looked at me like I had four heads. I shrugged.
"For the past three hundred something years, I hadn't had the chance to go, and now that I can, I will," I told him. North promised me that he could work something out, while all I have to do is rest for the next day.
Time skip
I was leaning on my staff, my eyelids almost closing, when I felt a weird feeling of being watched.
I closed my eyes, silently asking the wind to bring the person to me.
Hearing a yelp, I turned around, seeing… Jamie?
"Jamie, what are you doing here?" I glared at him.
"Tooth told me you became a girl," was his response.
"Did she tell you I'm going to school tomorrow too?" I questioned.
"Yeah, she did. New York, huh?"
"Don't you have school tomorrow? You should go home and rest," I hope he would, 'cause I didn't want him to fall asleep at my lake.
Jamie nodded, and turned around. Slightly worried, I followed the boy to the front door of his house.
I watched as Sandy's dreamsand travelled through the city, my village and me. I managed to jump onto a branch, and settle there, before I finally gave in to sleep.
The next morning, I slipped into modern day jeans, and placed a jacket over my hoodie.
I whispered the name of my school, and jumped up, allowing the wind to carry me. A mile away from there, I leapt lightly to my feet, and began walking towards the school. I was wearing sneakers, just to not draw attention.
A few days ago, North gave me a necklace which allows the non-believers to see me, but not my staff.
I arrived one hour earlier than the start of class, so I went to my locker number, and grabbed my books for today's timetable, which North had helped me collect. I crept into an empty classroom, which had biology (my first class of the day) written on the white board. I read the book, absorbing everything easily. I guess I was a smart kid.
I felt someone tap my shoulder and I glanced up. A pretty girl with brown short hair smiled at me.
"Hi! I'm Olivia. You must be Mary Frost," my eyes widened. I swear, I'm gonna freeze North's hands for more than a week. I smiled, nodding. Not long, we became fast friends. As we compared our timetable, I could feel someone stroke my hair.
I whirled around and saw a few students staring at me from the classroom window, while a guy with a smile reminding me of some idiot asked me if I had dyed my hair. I answered no, and turned my back on him. I noticed Olivia was blushing, but I didn't say a word about it.
Not long, the bell rang, signalling the starting of a school day.
Fortunately, Olivia sat on my right side in class. Unfortunately, the weirdo who asked me about my hair sat on my other side.
Throughout the class, Chastan was annoying me by whispering words about the teacher being an a-hole, or an annoying pest, and things like that. For the next few hours, school was uneventful, except at gym and recess.
During gym class…
I absentmindedly twirled a snowflake as Olivia and a couple of decent looking girls were playing volleyball against a group of girls who look like they had put on too much make up. I was slightly surprised when a boy suddenly sat beside me at the bench. Heck, I was creeped out. What kind of guy would suddenly walk up and sit down beside a stranger?
I was even more creeped out when he put his arm around my shoulder. Who did he think he was?
Luckily, I spotted a little golden guy, bobbing in the air, smiling sleepily.
I grinned at him, and he started to lower the little airplane, careful to avoid the students. I pushed the guy away, and made my way across the gym. Games would pause as students watched me pass them. By the time I reached Sandy, the whole gym was silent.
I raised my brows. "Carry on, people," and turned to Sandy.
"Hey little guy," was all I said. Sandy showed a picture of North mixing a bottle of weird stuff, pouring it into a vial, and another picture of current girl me, becoming boy me, and the number seven, and days.
I nodded, telling him I understood. I could wait seven days. Sandy also shoved a bag of my favourite candies into my hand, picturing me eating it during recess. I grinned, thanking him.
Sandy was gone in a puff of dreamsand.
I can't wait for recess, which is in twenty minutes time. But for now, I'll have some fun.
After gym class…
I laughed as I remembered the shocked faces of my fellow students when it started snowing indoors.
Being the new student, I didn't know where the lunch room was. Holding my bag of sweets, I followed Olivia to the lunch room.
I spotted a glass door leading towards the outdoor field. The moment I saw the door, I ditched Olivia, who was currently buying some sort of disgusting food I've never seen before.
Once outside, I sighed. Sitting under a tree, I opened the bag to reveal all my candies, and a bottle of iced lemon tea. I discovered it while I popped into North's room and spotted it. I've been addicted to it ever since. While sipping it, I popped a small sweet which Sandy himself created.
I heard crunching of snow, and looked up from my small feast of candies, gripping my staff. I loosened my hold when I saw it was the bunch of preppy girls. I resumed eating, ignoring them.
"You're eating that?" I looked up again to see a girl looking at my beloved candies in disgust. I shrugged my mouth full of Tooth's sugar free yet delicious candies. I held one up for her, offering it.
She looked at me like I was crazy. I looked at her. If she doesn't want to eat it, then, more for me. I drank more tea, when I felt her sitting down beside me.
"That's a nice necklace," she commented. I looked down. The necklace, on my request, was made of unmeltable (is there such a word?) snowflakes. The chain was made by snowflakes twisted together, while the main attraction was the object held by the chain. Ice shaped into a moon, inside the ice was Sandy's dreamsand, swirling to create things, images. It creates a snowflake, then an Easter egg, sometimes the eggs bursts, showing colourful dust, before vanishing, or a sleigh, maybe a tooth, shining slightly brighter golden, but most of the time, it showed a picture of the Guardians together, like a family. Under the constantly moving sand, has words carved on the ice, saying Jack Frost.
I nodded, accepting her compliment, continuing to shove candies into my mouth.
"How much for it?" I stiffened. What did she say? I took a large gulp of tea and stared/glared at her.
"What?" I asked. She rolled her eyes, as if I asked a stupid question.
"How much for the necklace?" she repeated. I realize she was the girl who played against Olivia, Catherine.
"How much are you willing to pay?" She shrugged
"Maybe a few million." My eyes widened. Is she that rich? Being curious, I wondered how much she's willing to pay.
"What's the highest you can offer?"
"Fifty million." I wondered if that's a lot in the modern world. Probably.
I resumed eating, as if the conversation hadn't happen.
"Hello? Are you stupid or something? Come on, give me the necklace, I want to go in as soon as I can," she thrust her hand out, as if the deal was sealed, expecting me to give it to her.
"It's not for sale."
Actually, I could give it to her and make a new one, but I don't want to. This necklace was the first item I made together with the guardians, and I don't think they would appreciate it if I gave it to a human.
"What?! But I offered so much! You even asked me about the price!"
"I was curious about how much you would give." I shrugged. Her eyes were bulging. She got up, told me she wouldn't give up and stomped to the door, the group followed. Deciding to annoy her a bit, I had the wind to push her. She fell face first into the snow. I laughed gleefully. All her makeup had left her face, and a small colourful patch of snow was revealed when her face was revealed.
She screamed, and ran into the lunch room. I gobbled up the remaining sweets, and went towards the door. The group of girls surrounded the door, and I tugged the door. Realizing the door was locked, I growled. I spotted Olivia's terrified face in the corner, before I heard the Catherine's voice.
"Hope you freeze to death."
I did this before on a locked glass door, once. Willing the wind to create a little mist, everyone was unable to see the door. Placing a hand on the door, frost began to cover it. Not long, the door was a fragile piece of ice. (A/N: I have no idea if it is against science or whatever, but we're talking about Frost here, so… Whatever) I had no idea how I did that, but it was cool. Slamming my staff into the door, the sound of shattering glass was heard.
I walked into the lunch room. Using the wind to push Catherine towards the destroyed the glass, I made sure I was far enough for nobody to see me.
Once everything was in place, the mist cleared. Catherine was standing in front of the destroyed glass, her make up ruined. A teacher was already there, scolding her. I gave a silent whoop of joy. I didn't like her, so I ruined her day. This is so not like me. I regretted doing that already.
Catherine spotted me, and gave a scream, startling the teacher.
I don't regret it very much now.
Finished! At LAST! (Jack gives a jump of joy, starts dancing with Olivia, screaming "Finished!")
