It was Friday morning and I couldn't wait for tonight. Band's been practicing really hard on this new number so I hope everyone will appreciate it. Usually I hang out in the band room before first period if I get the chance. I love playing with the instruments. Alright, I don't mean to brag, but I can play every instrument in this room. Hand me something and I could probably play it better than most of the people in that section. Now unlike the rest of the school, us band kids are in our own little world. Where I, yes I, Elsa Winters, am a freaking King! Well queen….

Everyone here respects me and I do the same. We're all one big family in this band room and it's a shame that the rest of the school looks at us so differently, I mean, we are talented people!

Anyways, you could say my mind was distracted by thoughts of a certain gorgeous strawberry blonde with striking sapphire eyes, and a goddess' beauty. I sigh dreamily. Just thinking about her has that effect on me. Then I remembered the words she spewed at me the other day. Am I really that embarrassing? I mean if I went to your school you'd hang out with me right? ….Yeah probably not.

Maybe I should apologize to her. After all, she really wants to maintain her status and it's my fault for getting in the way of that.

Sometimes I wish things were different. Maybe if I was popular I could have a chance to shower her with flowers and chocolate and all the good stuff. But that's not the case. How is it that a jackass like Hans can pull a woman like that? He doesn't deserve her, not one bit. If I was him I'd appreciate her, take her on picnics, walks on the beach, anywhere she wants to go I'll take her there. What am I even saying, I'm talking like I deserve her. Ha. Yeah right.

I decided to practice on my snare drum for a while before I leave.

"Elsa!" I fling my sticks backwards in reflex.

"Damn it Kristoff! Do you have to shout? I'm the only one in here!"

"Emergency meeting in the comic room! Now!" I left before I could even say anything. Well, it looks like I'm not going to first period today. I was sad about missing Anna but I know she'd probably be relieved that I'm not there. I run out the room and follow Kristoff to our secret emergency meeting area.

LINE BREAK

So it's already 7:40 and I haven't seen Elsa barge her way into the school doors yet. Did I really offend her? Right now is the time where she'd come wabbling over to me and ask permission to walk me to class. Maybe she's not here today. Everyone gets sick once in a while right?

"What's wrong Anna?" Jasmine asked, her voice sounding concerned.

Geez, I have to stop staring off into the distance when I'm thinking to myself.

"Just thinking about the game tonight." I reply with a smile. "You know how I get pre-game nerves." Wow that was actually a good cover up, I'd high five myself but I'm not in the mood to look like an idiot right now.

She laughed. "Come on, you'll be fine, I've never seen you mess up a cheer before so quit stressing yourself out."

"Jasmine do you really think the game's what's on her mind?" Ariel said, "she's obviously thinking about the band geek."

Fuck you Ariel! And your ability to read people easily. I roll my eyes.

"No I'm not Ariel." Yes I am. I don't even know where she is.

"I think you guys would be cute together." She says ignoring my answer. "Yeah Hans is handsome and all but you two being together is such a stereotype."

"Regardless of the stereotype, he's a great boyfriend, and I love being with him." I tried my best to compose myself because I felt like I was going to lose it if she were to keep going on about Elsa.

"Please, you love the safety his position in school gives you. You two are just using each other." She replies nonchalantly while checking her nails.

Before I get the chance to respond, I see the platinum blonde haired girl in the corner of my eye, running like a gazelle.

"Excuse me." I zoom down the hallway walking as fast as I can without looking suspicious, doing my best to follow her. Where the hell is she possibly going? Wait, why am I even following her? Whatever, I'm already doing it so it doesn't matter.

LINE BREAK

Fucking Kristoff, making me run all the way down here. This better be good. Oh hey guys! You probably want to know where I'm going. You see, I'm the president of the comic book club at the school and you know how students are supposed to have designated classrooms to meet up? Well, since our club is kind of on the lower end of the school 'cool' system we had to fight to keep this thing going. So the principal told us that if the club was going to stay then we'd have to use the basement and clear everything ourselves. Dick move right? So Me, Kristoff, Aladdin, Eugene, and Eric took two weeks of our time afterschool to make the place look presentable. I reached the door and checked around to make sure no one was there and did the secret knock. Yeah my club has a secret knock, get with it.

Aladdin opens the door and pulls me in immediately.

"Can someone tell me what's going on?"

"Sit." He orders as he points to the couch.

I comply and eye him with suspicion.

"As you know Elsa, each and every one of us love this club dearly." He starts.

"Go on." I say slowly.

Eugene, who leaning on the pillar in the room spoke up. "Principal Disney is cutting the club." He says smoothly.

"What the hell are you talking about pretty boy?!" I was enraged, after all we've done to keep this club on it's feet, he takes it away from us just like that.

"Chill out Elsa," Eric says. "There's a solution. The only reason he might cut us is because we lack members."

"How many do we need?"

"At least ten." Kristoff responds.

"WHAT?! That's double the amount of people we have in the club as it is! I was lucky enough to even get you guys to come abroad in the first place!" It's going to be impossible to find five more people to join.

"We have to try." Kristoff says. "Look all of us love this place more than anything, it's where we could do whatever we want without being judged for being to 'not normal'. How hard is it going to be to find other people who love super heros?"

"Very hard for a matter of fact Kristoff."

"Come on, you're not giving up on us now are you Winters?" Eugene asked smugly.

I looked around the room and saw how determined everyone was about this. After all this is our home away from home. The brotherhood bonds we've all made here are sure enough to last a lifetime.

"Ofcourse not!" I said with confidence.

"Good!" Aladdin said quickly. "Because Eric and I already printed out a lot of poster advertising this."

"I think I'd be best if we post them all over the school and hand them out to people." Eric said soon after.

"I've got some strings with the people doing morning announcements so I sure I could make a pull there." Eugene added.

I can't believe it, this might actually work! I hope it does. After we do our club chant we parted ways, stapling the flyers to lockers, walls, doors, and…well…everything that could hold a staple.

"Where were you?" Is that who I think it is? I look over my shoulder to see Anna waiting for my response with her hands on her hips and foot tapping on the ground. Wow she looks angry.

"I saw you run off somewhere and lost you. Where did you go?"

My palms started sweating. I don't know if it was the tone she was using with me or the fact that I really like her that was making me so nervous.

"Uh, we erm- had a-a group mee-meeting about something important." I couldn't look her in the eyes cuz I would probably turn to stone. Not because of my um birth defect but uh…just cuz you know….she's uh…You know what, nevermind, she makes me nervous okay!

"Weaseltown gave us all period to work on the poems and you weren't there. Everyone was working with their partner except me."

"Oh goodness, I'm sorry Anna. I had something important to take care of. I feel horrible." I really did. I'm such a bad partner.

"What were you doing that was so important? You never miss class."

"Principal Disney is going to cut my club if I don't find enough members to be in it." I was shuffling my shoes on the ground. Hoping that this conversation would come to an end soon. What if someone saw us talking? I wouldn't want to embarrass her further.

"So that's what all this is about." She said as she ripped a poster from the wall. "Superhero club" she read. "Huh."

I gulped nervously. "Y-Yeah. It's a lot of fun." I just came up with a great idea. What if I ask her to join! You idiot, she'll laugh at you. Don't you dare ask her. But what if she says yes? You're too naïve! Before I could continue arguing with myself any further, I blurted out the words…..Fuck.

"Seriously?" she says.

"You might like it, we talk about superhero's. My favorite is Superman, because he's uh, super and stuff and he shoots out laser from his eyes and he – he."

She was laughing. I would usually take this as a compliment but from how our previous conversation went, I come to the conclusion that she's laughing AT me, not because she thinks I'm funny. Gosh I probably sounded ridiculous babbling like that.

"I'm gonna go." I tell her.

All of a sudden her face falls into a frown. "Why?"

"The bell's going to ring soon and I have to post some more of these." I didn't give her time to respond. "I'll see you at the game tonight." With that, I stapled one more flyer and walked away.

LINE BREAK

"So did you guys find anyone?" Eugene asked our group during lunch.

"Drizella said she would…..if I slept with her.." Eric said and everyone cringed. Well that's a no.

"Any luck Aladdin?" Kristoff asked. Aladdin rubbed the back of his neck. "I asked some people but they flushed the flyers down the toilet…so no."

"I think the answer's obvious." Eric said. "No one's going to join if they see that we're a bunch of losers. If we get some popular people to join I'm sure the club would be fine."

"And why would popular people want to join us?" Eugene asked.

Eric looked around nervously.

"It's cuz Eric here has a thing for a certain red head in that crowd." Kristoff smirked.

"ANNA! YOU LIKE ANNA?! How could you?! That totally goes against the bro code."

"What?! No not Anna! Why would I want feisty pants? She's your girl. I can't handle all that sass." Eric replied quickly. "It's Ariel." He begins twiddling his thumbs. Whew! Thank goodness. And damn straight Anna is my woman, even if she doesn't know it or she hates me…..hmm that sounded better in my head.

"Why don't you go talk to her?" Aladdin asks him.

"She intimidates me." Eric said with a shrug.

"Have you seen yourself?! I mean despite the fact that we play for the same team you are one gorgeous male specimen. Don't you guys have a class together?"

"Music." He responds.

For some odd reason in that moment, I had a surge of confidence wash over me.

"Let's go Eric. The rest of you, keep asking people and posting the flyers." I command the group.

"Where are we going?" He asks.

"We've got some important people to talk to." I grab his arm and run out.

Incase you didn't know, it's lunch time right now so Eric and I are going to make our way to the popular table and ask if any members would like to join. It was his idea after all.

"I don't know about this Elsa. I'm pretty sure they'll eat us alive if we even come close."

"Too bad. We're already here. Let's take a deep breath and have confidence in ourselves for once."

Eric complies and takes a breathe. "Alright let's go before I shit myself." He replies.

"That's the spirit!" I say. As we walk closer my confidence begins to drain like crazy, once we arrived I had none of it left.

"Umm, can we help you guys?" said the girl with long blonde hair, I think Eugene said her name was Rapunzel.

"H-Hi everyone." I choke out. "My name's Elsa and this is Eric and we're apart of the comic club at school."

"Are you lost?" Hercules asks.

"No, we uh, were wondering if any of you would be interested in joining." Eric said. Atta boy. He gave a couple of them some flyers. "We like to hangout and talk an-and eat." I mentally slapped my forehead. Well atleast he's talking.

"About superheros?" Ariel asked with a lifted brow.

"Uh-huh." He replies. "It's really cool." He blushes as he makes eye contact with her.

I finally remembered how to talk and entered the conversation.

"We just need five more members and the club doesn't get cut. It would mean a lot to us if you guys considered joining."

I turn to Eric and see that his eyes are fixated on Ariel with a goofy grin on his face. Holy shit does he even know he's doing it? I elbow him in the gut and that brings him back to reality. I think my eyes are deceiving me but I saw her biting her lip and looking down. Puh-lease, anyone with eyes could see her blushing from miles away. Did she like Eric? Alright, now I'm going crazy.

"I think I speak for all of us when I say, this whole club superhero thing you have going on is stupid and I think it's a good thing Principal Disney is cutting it. It's a waste of time." Hans said as he put his arm around Anna, who by the way hasn't said a single word since the conversation happened.

"Well then Hans, we'd be more than happy if you didn't join. Anyone else is more than welcome. Thanks for your time. Come on Eric."

He nods. "Bye Ariel." He says shyly. She doesn't say anything. At least respond to him! Don't leave the boy hanging! As Eric turns around he knocks down a brunette girl.

"Woah I'm so sorry, I didn't see you there." He kneels down to help pick up her papers, which are now scattered all over the place. He's frantically gathering everything and muttering apologies.

She laughs. "Don't worry about it cutie, you're fine."

He immediately stops his movement and looks up. "M-me?" He asks pointing to himself.

"Who else?" The girl asks with a smirk. "My names Vanessa."

"Eric." He replies and sticks out his hand for a handshake.

"You're a classy guy aren't you?" She returns the gesture.

"You could say so." He says smiling. That's my boy! He clears his throat. Is he gonna….

"My f-friend Elsa and I are apart of this comic club and we're looking for some members. Would y-you like to join?" He holds out a paper.

She smiles flirtatiously. "Sure." She takes the paper. "Can I have your phone?"

Who knew Eric was such a charmer. I noticed how quiet it got and saw all the popular kids at the table watching my friend not so discreetly. Especially the red head. Who looked like she was going to kill this new Vanessa girl. I caught on to the last part of the conversation.

"…text me when you guys meet up." She says. "And feel free to text me whenever you want." She winked at him and struts away.

I hear Shang say. "How the hell did that happen?"

I ignore him and turn to Eric. "Dude that was awesome!" He was still smiling like an idiot. "Alright buddy let's go, I need you to walk, can you do that for me?" He just nods his head. Just as we were about to walk away I heard someone call my name. It was Snow walking towards me. I couldn't help but smile.

"Hello Snow. How are you?"

"Fine, thanks. I saw some of your flyers in the home economics room, I was wondering if I can join."

"Ofcourse you can! You don't even need to ask!" To be honest I thought our trip here would be pointless but now it's proving other wise. "I'm really happy you want to join! Did I just say that outloud?"

Snow giggles, "Yes. But I'm happy you want me to as well. I know how passionate you are about this club."

"If you want we could meet up and I could get you situated with what we do at the club, after school some day?" I offered.

"That'd be great, I'm busy over the weekend, but how does Monday after school sound?"

"Sounds good to m-"

"Sorry Snow, but Elsa and I have plans. We're working on poems for our group project in English together." Am I dreaming or did Anna, out loud if I may say, where everyone could hear, stake her claim on me?

I looked at her and she looked as if she was…..jealous almost. Nah I'm reading to far into things.
