Chapter 3: Friends

Elsa POV

Today is Tuesday, one of my workdays. I checked my clock. 6:04 am. I didn't need to get up early considering I live right next to Central Park. But since it was such a good morning I decided to get up a browse on my laptop.

I open Google and try to find Snowflake paintings and the artists who paint them. I don't think I mentioned this but I was trying to find the person who made the snowflake paintings on my wall. I bet you thought I did them. Nope. They we're here when I moved to New York, America, one year ago. I really loved the designs of each one. They were perfectly made. Since then I've been searching for this person and find his technique on instructions or at the very least ask this artist in person. I mean I can perfect snowflakes with my powers, but not at drawings or painting them. I still try to find them, but no luck. Besides my parents told me not to do so, just in case of accidents. Can't blame them. I still practice with my powers and get better and better at controlling them.

I checked my clock. 7:04 am. I've been browsing for an hour. I got up and out of my room. Across the hall and into the bathroom. I got into the shower and thenI brushed my teeth. Went back into my room and looked for my usual attire. Black sneakers with blue patterns striped on, dark blue jeans, a white stretchy t-shirt and under that a long sleeve sky blue shirt, and my denim jacket. As usual

I went to the kitchen to make myself some breakfast. The usual. I hear footsteps coming in. It's Anna, and still in her pajamas. "Good morning, sis." She yawns. While going to make herself something to eat.

"Good morning, sleepy head." I giggled, taking a bite on my toast. I was in such a good mood this morning I didn't know why. Maybe I forgot the reason. Oh well. Anna then notices this too and smiles at me.

"You seem chipper this morning." She beamed at me. I giggled at her face.

"Yeah. I am for some reason I am." I smiled while in thought.

"Does this mean you finally discovered the artist who made those murals in your room?"

"If that's the reason why, then I'm sorry to disappoint." I giggle.

She giggles back "Then what?"

I ponder about that. "Hmm maybe it has something to do with yesterday."

Anna raises an eyebrow. "What happened yesterday?

"Well" I began "I saw this boy-"

She stares at me wide eyed and grinning. "What? A boy? Oh my big sister has an interest for someone!" She interrupted.

My face lights up red. "What? No!" I protest.

"Anyway tell me about him! What does he look like? What are his like and dislikes? Is he cute?" She said so fast like Blur from Transformers. I sighed a smile.

"Ok, well. He has dirty blonde hair, wears a blue leather jacket, and his name is Jackson Overland." I finish. Anna stares with interest.

"That's neat!" She beamed. "But is he cute?"

"Well, I will admit. He's definitely a looker." I giggled.

Anna squealed in delight. "OMG my sister finally found someone." My face one again lit up red. "Anything else about this Jackson guy."

I suddenly remembered. "Yeah. His face looked sad." Anna's expression changed. "He had a look of sadness, loneliness, rejection, and defeat." I continued.

"Why" She asked in concern.

"No one sat next to him. I mean no one was near him. He was sitting by himself in a big row of empty chairs and desks." I said with a sad look on my face. "It was like he wasn't even there. Like a ghost. No one even looked at him once."

"So… what happened?"

"Well, you'll probably think this is kind of strange." I pause for a moment. "I saw myself. Alone and sad in the past." Anna's stared wide-eyed. "However, I decided to be persistent like you and at least socialize with him." Anna made a wide smile. "But before I could, I saw something interesting about him." Anna then beamed once again. "I saw him interacting with kids." Anna made a confused look. "He actually has a part time job at a children's day care and the children love to see him and he loves to see them. It like it's his one and only little world where he's truly happy." I preached passionately.

Anna then looks at me weirdly and wide eyed. "Um sis, what did you do yesterday?" I could tell she was suspecting something. I guess it's time to spill all the beans.

"I uh, sort of, um… followed him." I said nervously. Anna raised an eyebrow.

"If by 'followed' you mean stalked?"

"Well if you want to put it like that." I said timid and innocent like. Anna's eyes then went really wide. She leaned her body away from me.

"Ok, no offence, sis. But your way of getting a boyfriend is a little creepy." My face went red a again.

"Anna, I told you it's not like that!"

"You know I actually believe that. I actually hoped you finally found someone special to be with." She sighed and sulked her head on the table. I giggled and checked my watch. 8:04. I still had time but I think a good walk in Central Park would do me good. Dad walks in, all dressed up in a suit.

"Good morning girls."

"Good morning, Dad." We say in unison. Dad looks at us in surprise. All the three of us laugh.

I took a walk through Central Park. I love the scenery of my surroundings. The green grass and trees, children playing on the fields, as well as families and young couples picnicking under the trees. It fills me with such joy. But seeing this in the snow of winter is what really makes me truly happy. I always enjoy winter.

As I've stated before my part time job is working at Wollman Ice Skating Rink. Only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It's also owned by the Arendelle's Winter Corporation. I walk inside to start the shift.

I stand behind the counter retrieving and giving ice skates to customers. I really don't mind it. Just watching the kids and friends ice-skating together makes me happy. However, now that I think about it, I haven't gone ice-skating in a while. Not since the… event 10 years ago. I don't dwell on it much, but it would be nice to ice skate again.

Hours go by and the rink was almost empty. It was 6:32 pm. Only half an our left. Suddenly my attention is drawn to a familiar figure skating in the rink. Dirty blonde, blue leather jacket. My eyes didn't deceive me. It's him. Jackson Overland. I went a little father towards the entrance to the rink to get a clear view. It is him. I saw him skating around the rink, with such grace. He certainly was no stranger to sports. I wonder if he goes to the same class as Anna? However I was called back to take back the skates that the rest of the customers were returning. I never saw him leave after that.

Today is now Wednesday. I walked into my art class; Architecture. Suddenly to my surprise there was Jackson again. I guess he goes to the same classes as well. I also noticed something that wasn't surprising, but sad. No one even sat near him. They all avoided him, ignoring him, like he wasn't there. I decided to take the initiative and sit next to him.

"Excuse me, is this seat taken?" I ask him. He turns his head to face me. His eyes widen. I can tell he was speechless. I guess he wasn't use to people wanting to socialize with him.

"Um, no." He stutters. I smile at sit next to him. By now I already see people looking at us in disbelief. I hear them gossiping things, like 'Elsa Aredelle, the beautiful Ice Queen, is next to boring Jackson Overland?' I just ignored them and turned to Jackson. His face now had a look of confusion. I just smiled. Our Professor, Sanderson Mansnoozie, walks in. A dwarf, dressed in a yellow tux, and blonde hair slicked back. Yellow has always been his favorite color. He not only teaches Architecture but he also a psychologist and therapist for anyone who has sleep apnea. From what I hear, his treatments are effective and helpful.

"Ok class, if you would all kindly go to the art closet and get a cube clay. I want you to start sculpting a design you find inspiring or an original design. I'll walk around observing and giving you feed back." He explained. In no time everyone got cubes of clay and brought them to their tables. We began to mess around with the clay.

While most of the class sculpted original random work, me and Jackson sculpted some thing that inspired us. Mine was the empire state building. A year ago, on the day I moved to New York, the first thing I saw was the Empire state building. The design was simply breath taking. I guess you can say that's what inspired me to do Architecture. I never have been there before. I always have an opportunity to go. I keep telling myself I'm going to go there but I forget and never do. Isn't that weird. However I turn to look at Jackson's sculpture and my eyes widen with awe. He made a perfect snowflake. The way he made it, the curves, the shapes, the size. It was really taken away by this.

"Nice design." I say looking really impressed. His face blushed a little.

"Um thank you." He said timidly. I giggled at that. I have to admit, it's cute. There was a moment of silence between us.

"Oh I'm sorry. I forgot to introduce myself." Breaking the silence. "I'm Jackson Overland."

"Nice to meet you too." I smiled. "I'm Elsa. Elsa Arendelle."

"I know who you are." He smiles back at me. "Elsa Arendelle. Age 20. Norwegian. You are the daughter of Kai Arendelle the head boss of Arendelle's Winter Corporation." I was simply shocked that he knew me. I mean everyone knew who I was, but this guy makes it sound like he knew me all my life. I was really amazed.

"How do you know me?" I ask him is awe.

"I work for your company." He says. My eyes widen again. He works for my company?

"Oh really, you do?"

"Yeah I, work on ice sculpting. I work from Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9-6."

This was all too sudden. He works for my father's company. I guess you learn something new everyday. I guess I have to ask father about him. I decided to bring our conversation back to the snowflake.

"So… do you like winter?"

"Yes, I do. I simply love it. The snow is beautiful." He says passionately.

"Me too." I said excitedly. Wow. He and I have so much in common. He loves winter just like I do. I can also tell he loves winter when I see him wearing a necklace with a sapphire stone in the middle. On it is a perfect carving of a snowflake. I don't know why but I have this feeling he might the artist I'm searching for.

The class ends. I was about to leave when professor Sanderson called me and Jackson over. "I looked at your works and both of you did well. And as a special bonus both of you get extra credit for your hard work." We looked at each other in delight. I know we get good grade, ok well I know I get good grades, but this was a very big deal for me.

"Thank you so much professor." I said.

"Of course, anytime. Just keep up the good work." He said.

Me and Jackson walked out onto the campus. Already the whole college was staring at us. Just like in art class they were in total awe and started to gossip. Jackson felt embarrassed but at the same time happy. He has never gotten this much attention. I'm glad for him. We made our way to the exit and were about to go our separate ways, since he works part time at the day care on Mondays and Wednesdays. Which I now just realized his schedule is coincidently the exact same as mine. "Hey um, you don't mind me asking can we be friends?" Jackson's eyes widened and his jaw drop a little. He then smiled at me.

"Yeah. I would like that."

I smiled brightly. I was happy knowing that I can be his friend.

And there you have it, chapter 3. This was a huge hassle to deal with but I got it done. Read it, review it, and tell me what you people think. Thank you so much. :)
