4.
Her alarm went off once again. Elsa's right hand turn it off while her cerulean eyes glanced at the little white machine.
Thursday.
She groaned. The week was about to end, only leaving one day left of class, and the two previous days Jack was absent. She was avoiding Prof. North, but she knew that wouldn't be for long. She was starting to get really worried.
After cleaning herself up, she went to one of her wardrobes to dress herself for a new day. She chose a button up white cropped lace blouse, a light blue grid print short skirt, and a high-heeled white sandals. She left her hair down, just adjusting her natural waves with her fingers.
She took all her books and macbook, and before leaving her room she put her cellphone and wallet inside her light blue clutch.
She closed the door behind her and locked it, to then make her way towards the front door.
"Morning sis!" Anna greeted her from one of the couches, wearing a typical colorful outfit. A pinup blissful aquamarine dress, a yellow long sleeve lace jacket, pointed black toe lace-up heels and a yellow watuti tote. Her hair was in two messy buns.
"Good morning Anna" Elsa answered, a bit surprised to find her sister awake.
"I woke up early today, so I figured that we should get coffee together!" she said, getting up from the couch, with a big smile.
"Sure, Anna. I'd love that" Elsa said with a warm smile.
"How do you manage to look always flawless?" Anna whined, while they exited their dorm, making Elsa giggle.
"You always look flawless too, Anna" she said with a smile.
"But it takes me hours to get ready! And to pick an outfit! And my hair is always so messy in the morning!"
Both sisters continued chatting while making their way to The Golden Bean, unaware of all the people that stopped to gaze at them. Obviously, it was something normal now, both of them were used to the attention that their names brought.
"I would like an iced chocolate macchiato and a chocolate croissant please" Elsa said once they arrived the counter.
"And I'd like and s'mores frappuccino with extra whip and... can you put some chocolate source on it? And chocolate chips, if you have? Oh! And a devil's cake please" Anna said with a smile, the cashier tried to hide a disgusted face and Elsa shuddered slightly. Don't get her wrong, she loved chocolate and sweets... but Anna's love for them was just out of this world.
After getting their orders, they started to make her way towards the main building, both sipping their drinks.
"Another day trying to tame the beast?" Anna asked, slightly annoyed by the idea.
"If he finally decides to show up" Elsa said sighting. It was almost a weak lose. If he didn't showed up soon, she was going to get very overdue.
"I don't know why it surprises you so much, he's Jack Frost after all, I'm pretty sure he's just enrolled here by obligation" Anna added, munching her overly chocolated devil's cake. Elsa sighted again.
"I don't know, I mean... I didn't know he was that irresponsible" Elsa said, rolling her eyes.
"Wasn't he in one of your classes last semester?" Anna asked, Elsa nodded. "Didn't you see how irresponsible was then?" She asked again.
"No" Elsa retorted, and took a sip of her drink. "I barely even acknowledge him"
No one said another word until Elsa's classroom door came to view.
"Well, good luck for today sis! See you for dinner!" Anna said, giving her sister an encouraging smile.
"Bye Anna!" Elsa exclaimed, watching her sister making her way through the corridors. Elsa gazed at the classroom door and sighted. Hopefully he would come today.
.
.
And yeap, he didn't.
Elsa was, like yesterday, resting her head in her left hand while taping her fingers with her right, gazing at all her classmates, working.
She felt so embarrassed, so out of place. If her father sees her know he surely would reprimand her and hunt the Frost boy down to death for keeping her heir from advancing.
'Could he be sick?' Was one of the questions that circled her mind. 'Maybe he got a personal problem and he's out of the campus' ... But that couldn't be. Where he'd go? According to what Rapunzel said, he was left alone asides from his tutor, and he was from her hometown. Well, technically not her hometown because she's from Corona but she moved to Burgess when she started high school. Burgess was far away, one day driving if she was correct. It was very difficult to obtain permission from the Director to leave the campus for more than one entire day.
Even if they were technically adults, and they were supposed to do whatever they wanted; there was a reason why most of the sons and daughters of the most important people in the world enrolled here. It was a super-secured collage, with everything anyone could possible need or want, big enough to call itself a city. The directors and the personal of the school needed to be sure that everyone was safe here, to prevent outsiders, terrorist, kidnappers and even the mafia to do harm to important heirs. Thats why everyone needed to present a exit permit to leave the collage for different reasons.
"Miss Winters, could you please come?" Prof. North Russian accent made Elsa leave her thoughts. She looked at him surprised, aware of some curious looks from her classmates, she gulped and got up, making her way fast to him.
"Yes, Prof. North?" Elsa said, pretending to be oblivious, but she obviously knew why he had called her.
"Miss Winters, I couldn't help but notice that your partner is not showing up to class" North started, with a serious look in his face "Do you know what the possible reason could be? Have you already talked to him to coordinate or started the project at all?" He asked, Elsa gulped once again.
"Uh... Um, no, Prof North; I don't know why he's not showing up" Elsa started, trying to leave the conversation there. North looked at her and frowned, signalizing herself to answer the other question. "And no... We haven't started the project at all." little to say, North was not pleased at this answer.
"Miss Winters, I hope that you're aware that all your classmates are already advancing, and fast, in their respective projects" he said, and Elsa nodded embarrassed. "This is collage, Miss Winters, and I'm being kind enough with you to call your attention because you're my best student, I'm not supposed to even care about you're doing your project or not" he added "You and Mr. Frost have until tomorrow to at least pick a company. If not, I'm sad to say that you'll fail this whole semester" he finished.
Elsa's heart stopped, never ever in her whole life a teacher or professor called her attention, much less give her an ultimatum. She felt like she couldn't even breath.
"Is that clear, Miss Winters?"
"Yes, Prof. North" she said quickly.
"Well then, this is a list of the companies that were already chosen by your fellow classmates" he said giving her a sheet of paper "You'll obviously need to choose a different one" he said, making Elsa nod. "Now, you're excused from the class" he said, moving his attention towards another pile of papers.
"W-what?" Elsa whispered, astonished. "But the class finishes in more than one hour"
"True, but you have nothing left to do here, right?" North said, without looking at her "You better get your stuff and locate Mr. Frost immediately"
Elsa said no more, she never felt so embarrassed in her whole life. With her face red like a tomato, she quickly picked up her stuff and stormed out the room, trying to avoid the astonished looks from her classmates.
Jack Frost was about to die.
And Elsa was going to make sure he suffer.
She rushed out of the main building, and made her way towards the mini-bus station the collage had. She was far away from her car, and even if she was close, her keys where in her dorm. Yes, the campus was that big.
She had not a minimum idea on where could Jackass Stupid Frostidiot live, but she guessed it was on one of the dorms far far away from the main building, and even further from the frat and sorority houses. Still, the campus was like a freaking small city, so she hoped that she could find anyone that could tell her the unknown location of Jackson Frost.
When the little station, that was no more than 3 benches with little metal roofs each, came to view, Elsa could identify at least ten people waiting for the mini-bus.
"Hey there, sugar" a voice said, causing Elsa to look up. "Whats a pretty girl like you doing here?" Snotlout, great. Elsa groaned mentally.
"By any chance you know where Jack Frost lives?" She asked, as politely as she could. Snotlout immediately changed his flirtatious smirk with an confused and scared face, while a few curious students started looking at Elsa in shock.
"Why on Earth you'll like to know that, hon?" he asked, looking at her from her to toe. Elsa sighted in exhaustion.
"In case you suffer from memory loss, Prof. North paired us for the semester project on Monday, a class you should be in right now" She answered while looking at her watch. Snotlout was his classmate in Prof. North subject, so what was he doing here?.
"Oh, right. I remember now" He said, and then smirked. "And, Prof. North class is fucking boring, Astrid is in charge of our project for today, we're taking turns" he explained.
"Great, good for you. Now, do you now where Frost lives or not?" Elsa asked once again, losing her patience.
"I really don't know why'd you want to walk straight to the gates of hell... Even thought I'm pretty sure that Frost's hell is freaking cold but, anyway... He's in Blue Star Building, floor 5" he said, just as the mini-bus stopped.
Blue Star Building was pretty far away, just as Elsa guessed, far away from anyone. It was known that in Blue Star you'll find tranquility, and a good night sleep where no party music could ever bother you. Plus, the dorms where in a good size. Elsa was very temped of living in White Star Building at first, that was same as Blue Star, but for girls; but Anna insisted on living near the main building, and in the larger dorms since she needed space for designing clothes and manufacturing them.
"What stop is it?" Elsa asked, already lining for the bus.
"Three, babe." Snotlout said, grinning.
"And number of dorm?" Elsa asked quickly.
"Is the only dorm with no number on floor 5. After this we should totally go out" he added. Elsa ignored him and got in the bus, showing her collage I.D. to the driver, to then pick a seat on the front row.
On her road there she could feel the stares and the gossips right behind her. Maybe it was pretty strange to watch Elsa Winters on the collage mini-bus. Or maybe they where talking about the ways Jack Frost could kill her when she got there.
The ride was fast, probably five minutes with the first stops. Elsa jumped out on stop three, that was just in front of the Blue and the White Star Building. Elsa looked up at her target, victorian style building in white with beautiful details in blue. Here goes nothing. She inhaled deeply and got in the building.
She saw two boys reading at the common room, and two others enjoying coffee from the little espresso machine that was available. The whole place emanated tranquility. She really couldn't understand how a guy like Jack Frost could live in such a nice place.
She made her way towards the elevators and pressed floor five, feeling her heart bumping in her ears.
Once the door were open, she started venturing throw the corridor.
'The only dorm that has no number' She repeated on her head. 'Lets see.. 501, 502, 503, 504, 505, 506, 507-wait.. no 507' She looked curiously at the door, it was exactly the same as the others, only with no number.
'Well, its now or never'
She inhaled once more, and with all her courage, she knocked the door.
.
.
No answer.
She sighted, and tried once more, but still nothing. 'For goodness sake what do I need to know to find this guy?!'
"Okay, just call" she said to herself, whispering. "Uhm... Jack?" she said loudly. "Jack is me.. Elsa. Your project partner!" Nothing. "Sorry for the bother, but I need to talk to you pretty urgently" she added. "Jack, please? Are you home?" Right then, a door snapped open, but from behind her.
"Sorry to bother you, princess, but he went out about two hours ago" A voice behind her said, Elsa slightly jumped and then turned to see the source.
"Oh, hi Tadashi.. Uhm, do you by any chance know when he's coming back?" Elsa asked, flushed and Tadashi chuckled.
"Ha ha, no, sorry El. He doesn't really talk o anybody here. Why are you looking for him anyways?" He asked.
"We got paired on a project, he didn't show up these days and I really need to talk to him" Elsa explained.
"Oh, damn.. Well, he's normally here before lunch and then he leaves again, if it helps you" he said.
"Guess I'll wait here then, thank you" she said, smiling.
"Anytime, princess" Tadashi said, and got back to his dorm.
'Plan B'
x
It was incredible how every time he wanted solitude, Pitch and the stupid gang would show up.
No matter how remote place in the campus was, they always managed to find him, and they always ruined his peace.
Today he wasn't feeling like going to class, again. So he decided to smoke some in an isolated place of the campus, listen to some music, and think about his miserable life.
But the gang managed to found him, again.
Pitch kept on talking about chiks and merch, Gothel kept on rambling about hoe she broke an innocent girl's nose (he thinks it was Ariel's this time) and Vanessa kept on babbling about her new relationship with Gaston, and how he was finally 'the one'. As always. Still, Jack thanked the gods that Hans decided to go to class.
After a few minutes, he got fed up and left them, like always.
He knew that the only place where they won't bother him was his dorm. But he didn't want to smoke there, he didn't want his place to smell, so he always went out. Even thought his 'smoking' breaks were getting shorter and less frequent. Maybe Pitch was making him leave smoking with his stupid appearances.
After a fifteen minute walk, he finally was in the elevator of his building, that was tranquil, as always, not like the trash hole that was Hans and Pitch's building.
No one ever dared to say hi to him, which he was grateful of, he actually preferred the less social- interaction as possible.
The gates opened on his floor, and the hall was empty, just like he liked it. He got out the elevator, and silently made his way towards his door, the door with no number on it. Why? Well, he figured that no one would knock a door with no number on it, so no one would bother him. He only hanged his door number when he ordered something from internet, that was very rarely. He didn't bother about letters, he had no one that could write him anyway.
'I'm gonna listen to music, cook lunch and sleep for today'
He inserted his key on the lock, unlocked it and quickly scurried in to his dorm, locking the door from inside, but when he turned around, he was sure he got a heart attack.
"FUCK!" he screamed, and slightly jumped.
"About time you showed your face" she snarled. Jack tried to catch his breath, right there, seating in his precious couch, was the famous Ice Queen.
He stared at her while his heart tried to come to life again, trying to figure if it was his imagination or she was really there.
"How in hell you got in?" He said, frowning, still agitated.
"Ever heard of the bobby pin?" She asked sarcastically, while showing the little black tool that helped her inside his enclosure.
He frowned even more at her sarcasm. 'Of course I did, never thought it work tho'.
"This place is neater than I thought" Elsa said, looking around his place. It was pretty simple, navi blue being the predominant color, a small kitchen combined with the living room, no family or friends photos, no decorations, only necessary utensils, and two doors which Elsa assumed where his bedroom and bathroom.
Jack frowned even more, if that was possible,
"Okay, you need to leave, now." he said, unlocking the door, without tearing his gaze from her.
Elsa's gaze connected with his, as she looked unaffected.
"Sorry, I can't" she simply said, shifting on his couch. Jack looked at her shocked. 'Is this girl crazy or what?'
"If you didn't know, intruding in a private property is illegal" Jack said, getting irritated by the second. Elsa chuckled.
"Please, who are you to talk about legal or illegal stuff?" she said sarcastically.
Jack was stunned. Was this girl aware of what she was doing? Or where she was? He was pretty sure that most of the students of the campus wont go in his room even in their worst nightmares.
"I'll ask you one more time"
"And I'll answer you one more time: I wont leave. Not until you agree to do Prof. North's project with me" she said calmly.
Jack stood still for a few seconds, then, he chuckled, he actually chuckled.
Elsa frowned at his reaction. She glared at his and straightened in the couch.
Jack couldn't believe it, it was so ridiculous to be true. Was this girl actually doing all this because of one stupid project?
"Why don't you just ask North to switch?" Jack asked after he stopped laughing.
"Not possible" Elsa answered, crossing her arms on her chest.
"Oh, please" Jack said, rolling his eyes. "You're daddy's little girl, Queen of this pathetic university, i'm pretty sure you can do whatever pleases you" he snarled.
"On the contrary, Jack. I'm like every other student, so I suck it up like everyone" she said, clearly offended by his previous comment.
"Well then, do it yourself and put my name in it" he said, growing irritated.
"Sorry, but North already warned me, he knows my way of working. I cant do it alone" she said in a firm tone. Jack resisted the urge to brake something.
"Well, princess, I'm sorry to announce you this but there's no way that I'm doing that project" He said with a sarcastic smile.
"Well then, Frost. You'll probably like to get comfy, because I'm staying here until you make up you mind" She said, smiling sarcastically as well. Jack groaned.
'What in heck is this girl?'
