Elsa's POV
"This is it Olaf, We're moving to Berk." I say to my snowman plush toy that I have had since I was born. He has been with me through everything. I then gently pack him into my hand carry. Anna has a snowman plushie too, except hers is a girl called Olanna. "I'm ready!" I announce once I change out of my sweat pants and old t-shirt into a snowflake patterned long-sleeved top with a pair of dark blue tights and brush my hair into a high bun with a twist. I then look at my almost empty room. Most of the small stickers I pasted behind the door, where no one would notice them, to make a snowflake collage. I always looked at the collage whenever I'm upset or angry and then I feel happier like someone else has a connection with me through the snowflake. I took it down last night and stuck it onto a piece of paper that is the right size and packed it into my suitcase next to my photo album. I glanced through it once more before I packed it. I saw picture of Anna, my parents and I. The pictures were from when I was born till 2nd grade, which was the last year of my 'safety and freedom' because the year after that they announced that I was the heir. Then the attempts started.
I then take my luggage, which consists of a hand carry and two suitcases, downstairs from my bedroom to the living room by using the lift to bring my things from the third floor to the ground floor. That might seem too little for a person who has lived in a mansion, as you could call my house, all their life but most of my stuff like my short-sleeved tops, mini-skirts and dolls which I used to wear and play with before going to high school, has been passed down to Anna. I've learnt to always keep my things in good condition in addition to my manners and etiquette lessons I had after school with my private tutor, Miss Camille. Some of my things are still in the house too. The house still belongs to my family so the things I won't be needing will stay in the house. A third of the staff will be joining us in Berk while some go back to their families and the others do the housekeeping.
I reach the ground floor only to see that most of the paintings had been taken down and presumably stuffed into my parents' luggage to 'enhance' our new home in Berk. I have seen the design of our new home and I'm quite impressed with its structure. When I was younger, I always hoped that I could have architecture as my major in college but since I have to take care of a business, I am complied to take a business and managing course next year. As my head is in the clouds, I hear Anna coming next to me with the loud rolling sounds of her four suitcases? "Elsa!" Anna shouts in my ear as she puts a hand on my shoulder and snaps me out of my thoughts. "Thanks Kai!" Anna suddenly says and I realize that my suitcases aren't with me anymore.
"You ready Els?" she asks me in an un-Anna like volume which she talks in when I know she is serious. "As ready as I'll ever be." I responded fully-knowing that she would interrogate when I show too much emotion. 'I think Anna knows me better than my own parents' I think in my head. 'Anna was always with me while mum and dad were working or making sure I was safe.' At that moment, mum and dad came down wearing their 'casual' clothes with three butlers carrying their luggage into the cabs. We had scheduled three cabs. Kai, Anna and I in one with Gerda, who is the head maid, mum and dad in another. The other servants that were going were in the last cab. The three cabs made their way to the private plane landing. My parents had bought this plane when I was born, which is the 21st of December in 1998. They named it Winter because I was born on the winter solstice. My parents had bought a boat when Anna was born too. She had been born on the 21st of June in 2000, which is the summer solstice, so they named it Summer.
The flight to Berk lasted for two hours. I slept for an hour and a half and listened to music and watched videos on you tube during the other half hour. Anna had slept throughout the whole ride and when she woke up, her hair became a lion's mane. It was the exact opposite of the two twin braids she had on when we left. It took her ten minutes in front of her compact mirror to brush it out, tie it again and put on her makeup. I never wear makeup unless I have to. As soon as Anna is ready, we get off the plane and get into the pre-scheduled cars. Then the driver takes us to our new home. On the way there, I look out the window and admire its lush greenery compared to Arendelle. Finally, we arrive at our new home. It is quite near the high school called "DisneyWorks Highschoool" Anna and I immediately go into our new home with our suitcases. I preferred to carry mine while Anna handed hers to a butler.
I take my things and go to the third floor using the lift. I then looked for my room. Mum and dad say that the door to my room is painted a light shade of blue while Anna's is green. I found my room at the end of the hallway, the nearest room to the stairs. My room is next to Anna's. Our rooms are conjoined and mine has a bathroom attached to it. I know why only my room does while the others don't. When I was younger, one of the attempts led me to become temporarily unable to walk straight. The toilet was at the other end of the hallway and I couldn't walk there myself. Since then, my parents always had an attached bathroom for me with a button next to the flush for emergencies.
I then walk around my room to see where I could put my 'sticker'. The room was painted in a light blue that was the right shade for the 'snowflake' to blend everywhere. I finally decided to past it onto the wall above my desk. The desk has a laptop, a cup holder that is big enough to hold my hot chocolate and a table lamp. Each side of the desk has two drawers. On the top left one is a stack of white A4 papers with some pens, rulers, pencils, sharpeners and erasers. On the bottom left drawer is a calculator and some notes in units conversion. The top right one is empty so I decide to put my photo album there. The bottom right drawer has pepper spray, a small handbag, a whistle and a pair of earphones connected to an MP3 player. I immediately download songs into the MP3 from my computer. I also put some photos on the desk. The desk is in between a bookshelf and a cupboard. Next to the cupboard is the conjoining door. On the wall to its right, is the main door. Next to the main door is a glass cabinet with a big flat screen television on top. The wall next to it has the bathroom and I emptied my toiletries there in its usual orderly fashion. The last wall has a queen-sized bed in between a vanity and two sliding glass panels behind some curtains. I opened the glass panels and go onto the balcony. It is still summer but I can feel the slight autumn breeze because autumn will be here in two days, the day I start school.
I then go back into the room, lock the panels and pull the curtains. I go check out my cupboard. I opened its doors, one mirror and another wood, and see that there is a place to hang my dresses on top with three drawers underneath. I start to unpack my clothes. I hung my dresses, which I hardly wear, then I arrange my night clothes and innerwear on the first drawer. My tops go to the one in the middle and my pants go into the bottom one.
Then, I look through my book shelf. I saw the books that I will need for the semester, some revision books and some magazines and my old favorite storybooks with two of my snowflake pattern bag, one was light blue and the other one was dark blue, on top of the shelf next to a pack of stationaries and files. I pack the things I would need for school when it started in two days in one of the bags. I would pack my bag again when I get my schedule with the dark blue bag for my morning classes and the light blue one for my afternoon classes. Then I finish unpacking by laying my hairbrush, spare elastic bands and snowflake clips on the vanity. A few minutes later, the intercom next to my bed tells me its time for dinner.
Dinner passed uneventfully. We had salmon fish with sweet potato fries and chocolate ice cream for dessert. When I was finished, I made my way to my room and turned on the television. I popped in a DVD called Alice in Wonderland and watched it halfway. I started to feel sleepy so I changed into sweat pants and another old t-shirt and brushed my slightly wavy waist-length hair. Then I went to sleep.
I woke up at nine o'clock in the morning. I went out to the balcony to breathe in the fresh morning air. I just relax on this Sunday morning. At ten I get hungry and go down to eat my breakfast. No one else is downstairs but breakfast is already ready so I assume that they are still sleeping. I grab a few chocolate chip pancakes and a glass of chocolate milk to eat in my room. I flip through channels and finally settle for The Little Mermaid on Disney Channel. At about noon, Anna comes bursting into my room wearing her favorite green top and denim jeans with little hearts embroidered at the sides announcing that we're going shopping for back to school clothes.
I know that I have to go along even though I don't want to. I change into a plain blue tee and some stretchy tights because I don't wear jeans and twist my hair into its usual bun. At about half past noon, after eating some sandwiches for lunch, we go to Macy's and start there. At the shopping mall, although its safer here, mum makes sure I have my 'emergency kit' and with to Anna all the time. Anna gets me to buy three new tees and a pair of tights. I'll admit Anna has some good fashion sense. The tees are all a pale blue with a different styled violet jacket. The tights are a dark blue. Anna bought a plain white tee with a colorful jacket and a pair of denim jeans with gold colored embroidery. When we're done, we paid for the clothes. On the way out, Anna spotted a pair of red high-heeled shoes. She stopped to try them on. I told her to hurry up because we were supposed to meet mum and dad at McDonalds by two and it was already a quarter to two. Anna then asked the sales girl there for a size bigger. The lady came back with the shoes. They fit Anna perfectly, so we bought the shoes and rushed down the escalators and reached McDonalds at a minute to two.
Then we went home. Once I got into my room, I started to plan on my outfit for tomorrow. I normally didn't bother about what I wore to school but I wanted to make a good first impression so I decided to wear the new blue tee with the snowflake embroidered borders. Then I paired it with a gold edged velvet jacket and the new tights. Then, I checked my school bag to make sure I have everything. Once I am prepared, I go down for a dinner of mushroom soup and steamed chicken.
After dinner, I go into the room change into my night clothes and fall asleep. I wake up at half past seven that day and school starts at nine. I start to get ready and I'm ready by quarter past eight. Anna is ready five minutes later. When she came down, she stared at me as if I sprouted wings. "What is it Anna?" I ask her and she snaps out of her trance. "Wow Elsa, you look... different. But, but it's a good different." Anna says. "Thank you." I answer politely. Then mum drives us to school. "I love your new hairstyle Els," mum says on the way to school. "Thanks mum. I just want to make a good first impression." I reply. Mum smiles then says "Do you want me to come with you or can you register yourselves?" "I think we can handle it by ourselves mum." Anna answered. Mum just nodded and came to a stop. "We're here," mum announced. "Bye mum." I say. "Thanks Mum." Anna says as she waves goodbye.
We then walk to the office. A mouse with a board on his table that said 'secretary' greeted us and asked for our name and age. "Elsa Summer, Senior," Summer is the name Anna and I use to protect ourselves. "Elisabeth Helene Summers?" the secretary asks. I nod and he prints out my schedule, locker number and map. Then Anna says "Anna Summers, Sophomore," "Annalise Emelia Summers?" he asks to confirm. Anna nods and he prints out her schedule, locker number and map. We then thank him and exit the room. My locker is this side while Anna's locker is on the other. We split up and promise to meet each other for lunch. As I was looking for my locker, I tripped. Before I could fall, someone caught me. "Hans!" the guy who caught me shouted. "Why must you be such a jerk?" he continued. The guy named Hans just shrugged. I looked up to see the boy who caught me. He had snow white hair and wore a dark blue hoodie. I whispered a thank you and ran off.
