JACK'S POV
This summer has not turned out like I thought it was going to at all. I was expecting this summer to be the best summer ever. It was going to be just me and Elsa. We would hang out everyday and my life would feel complete. However, instead of that happiness, I am here in my room, alone and depressed. I've barely left my room this summer and haven't really talked to anyone. My mom and sister have tried to get me to come out and talk, but I refuse to. It would hurt too much. Everything reminds me of Elsa. No matter what, I just can't get her off my mind. It hurts to think of her, but I just can't stop. I guess I understand how she felt when her parents died. I miss her so much. I wish she would talk to me. I wish she would come back. As I sit in my room, I begin to write down my feelings. Those feelings become a song. This one song holds my pain and my wishes.
School is starting soon which means that I'll have to leave my room. What am I going to do? Look at you, this is not what Elsa would want you to be like. Elsa doesn't even care about me. You know that's a lie. You are the most important person in her life. She loves you more than anything. If she really loved me, she wouldn't put me in this much pain. UGH!
My mom has even tried to get my friends to come here and help, but I don't want to talk to them. They would just remind me of her. I'm probably being selfish right now, but solitude seems like the best option. Jenny has already given up on trying to get me out of my room. I feel bad for her. I would let her in, but even she reminds me of Elsa. I just have to stop thinking about her. Find a way to think about something else. Anything else. Ugh, even the word "else" reminds me of her. Why does her name have to be so close to that word?
ELSA'S POV
"Hey Anna!" I said as I picked up the phone and brought it to my ear. "Hey Elsa!" Anna said in her normal cheery voice. "How's summer going for you?" I asked. "It's pretty good, but it's lonely without you," she said. I could hear the sadness in her voice. "I miss you too," I said glumly. "So how is everyone?" I asked, trying to lighten the mood. "Almost everyone is the same. I think they've finally gotten over the whole leaving without saying goodbye thing. They understand and wanted me to tell you that they miss you," Anna said. I smiled. "I miss them too," I said. "How's Jack?" I asked. I've missed him the most out of all of them. I hope he's not too angry. "Haha, about that," Anna said nervously. "Yes?" I said. "He, he's bad," she said.
"What do you mean?" I ask worried. "Well, he barely comes out of his room. He really only does when he's hungry and when he has to do the necessities," "Oh," was all I could say. "Yeah, he hasn't talked to any of us since you left. He hasn't even talked to his mom of Jenny. It's like he's shut everyone out. No wonder you two get along," she said. Hearing this made my heart hurt. "Elsa? You still there?" Anna asked. "Huh, oh yeah. I'm here. Sorry I guess I just feel really bad since he's acting that way because of me." I say. Poor Jack, I didn't mean to cause you so much pain. "Don't worry Elsa. School is coming soon, which means he'll have to come out and then everything will return to normal," Anna said trying to reassure me. "Thanks Anna," I said. "No prob, well I'm going to hit the hay, I'll call you tomorrow, love you," Anna said. "Love you too," I said and then we hung up.
Poor Jack. I never meant for you to feel that way. I never meant to hurt you. Please get better. I lay in my bed and look at the picture of Jack and I. I really miss him. However,, being away has helped. This distance that I have put has helped my problems to become smaller. They say that distance makes the heart grow fonder. Lets hope that applies with Jack and I.
First day of school
I walked through the doors. Junior year, new people, new faces, new school. It's going to be hard to find some new friends, but hopefully I'll be able to manage. As I walk around I end up bumping into something. That something was a boy. He was pretty skinny and lanky. He had semi-long brown hair with green eyes. "Sorry," I said as I looked down. "It's ok it was just as much my fault as it was yours," he said as he smiled at me. I smiled back and an awkward silence began to surround us. "Ummm you must be new here, I've never seen you around," he said. "Ummm yeah I am. My name is Elsa," I said as I held out my hand. "Hiccup," he said. I chuckled a little. "Yeah, I get that a lot. My parents thought that a bad name will help fend off trolls." I laughed at this. "So are you a senior or..." he asked. "I'm a junior," I answered. "Ah, same. Here, let me see your schedule, maybe we'll have some of the same classes." I handed him my schedule and he looked over it. All of a sudden, his eyes widened. "What's wrong?" I asked worried that maybe I signed up for the wrong classes. "Oh, nothing's wrong its just..." he trailed off. "Just what?" I asked. "We have all of the same classes," he stated. "No way! Really?" I asked. He nodded. "Wow," I said in amazement. "So, you wanna walk to class together, I don't really have many friends with the same classes, since I'm like the smartest in the group," I smiled and nodded.
This year, my first period was math. I took a seat next to Hiccup and got all of my things ready. "Wow, you're really organized aren't you?" Hiccup said as he stared at my things in awe. "Haha, yeah I guess," I said nervously. "I keep all of my things in one journal," he said as he showed me his notebook. There were drawings all over. They mostly consisted of dragons. "I like your drawings," I said to him. He smiled. "Thanks, I can only really draw dragons though," he said. "Haha, well I'm not that good of an artist either, so I guess art with each other will be fun," I say. He laughs and I laugh with him. We continue to talk about random things until class begins.
JACK'S POV
Ugh, school today. That means I have to leave the house, more specifically, my room. I get up, take a shower and brush my teeth. As I try to pick out something to wear, I come across my favorite hoodie. Elsa gave this to me. Wearing it probably isn't the smartest move. I put the hoodie back and pull out jeans and a black t-shirt. I put on a black jacket and grab my stuff. When I get to the school, all I want to do is avoid everyone. I walk in and once again, the girls faint. I honestly don't care for them though. I walk to my locker and begin to put some of my things away. "Hey Jack, long time no see," a familiar voice says behind me. "Oh, hey Eugene. Hey Punzie," I say with no enthusiasm in my voice. I really don't feel like talking. "What's up?" Punzie asks trying to make small talk. "Nothing much, I guess," I answer. "Oh, well, what's your first class?" she asks. "History," I reply. "Hey I have history as well, what teacher?" Eugene asks. I sigh and look down at my schedule while massaging the back of my neck. "McGarden," I say. "Ha, same! Let's walk together," Eugene says. "Sure," I say glumly. He bids his farewell to Punzie. I see them kiss each other goodbye and am instantly reminded of Elsa again. Ugh, just go away!
When Eugene and I get to history, I don't say a word to anyone. People said hi to us, but I just waved and didn't speak. "Good morning class! As your first period teacher, it is my job to inform you of the upcoming events. If you would like to perform at the back to school concert you must sign up in the office. The concert is free, but we are asking for volunteers for the food stands and games," she says as she smiles at the class. The rest of the class goes by in a blur. Same goes for the rest of the day. Music is my last class, so it was the most memorable. However, it just reminded me of Elsa and her beautiful singing voice. "Ok class. Your first period teacher probably told you about the back to school concert. Because you are all musicians, you must perform in the concert. This will be your first project. Don't worry, it will be graded lightly, but it is, afterall, still graded. You are to create an original song and perform it up on stage. The song can be about whatever you want it to be. As long as you are not copying off of anyone else." Darn it, I have to sing up on stage in front of the whole school. What if I completely break down? Luckily I already have a song chosen. I'm going to sing the one I made this summer. It holds a lot of pain, but it's already made.
As soon as school was over, I grabbed the things I needed from my locker and instantly headed home. I didn't want to talk to anyone. I just wanted to go home and sit in my room like I did all summer. When I got home, I went straight to my room and shut the door behind me. I wonder how Elsa's first day of school was. Ugh! Stop thinking about Elsa. But I miss her so much. Everything at school reminds me of her. Everything still reminds me of her. I miss her so much it hurts. Get over it dude. She's probably over you by now. I must really be in love with her. Even after these past months, I still love her as much as I did. I don't think I'll ever stop loving her. I've loved her since 6th grade. I miss her. Her smile, her beautiful eyes, her wonderful laugh. I miss everything about her. Why did you have to leave Elsa? Why?
