"I still don't see why we can't make a quick coffee stop.", Alice huffed in the carseat. She had been arguing about that since we stepped out of the house. And it was really getting on my nerves.

"I'm not gonna be late just because you can't go a day without coffee, you caffeine addict.", I said as I made a turn.

"First off, coffee is not just a drink. It's the greatest shit in the world.", She said as raise a finger in the air. "Second, if you would have woken up when I told you to, we would have had enough time to go."

"Well maybe you could walk to the store.", I suggested.

I wasn't able to look at her since I had to keep my eyes on the road, but I could feel her glare at me. "You're such a bitch sometimes, you know that?"

"Thanks, I love you too sis.", I said in a mocking tone.

"Okay we got like fifteen minutes before we have to be in class.", She said determinedly. "I think that if we go right now, we can make it."

"If I do this, will you shut the fuck up.", I was getting very annoyed at her childish behavior.

"Yes!", She squealed in delight and it made me roll my eyes.

"Fine, but you owe me baby girl.", I said as I made a sharp U-turn. I drove fast, but not going over the speed limit. I didn't need to get pulled over...again. It took Mom forever to get over it and I had to pay the ticket myself. I stopped in front of an AmPm that was near by.

"If you're not back in two minutes, I swear to god I'll leave without you.", I said as Alice got out of the car and headed inside. At least the car was quiet now to leave me alone with my thoughts.

It was Friday and the last day of the week. It was also my last first week of school. I sighed. It went by so fast. It felt like only yesterday, I ran Elsa over when it was only four days ago. The rest of the school year will go by fast as well and before I know it, I'll be graduating. Then comes college. Which means I'll move out and be on my own. It was nice, but I know I'll miss my mother and little Alice because let's face it, the girl is lost without me. And my new friends as well. Or maybe I won't. Not really. We have all that social media crap to keep in touch. Maybe it won't so bad. I won't miss everyone as much, but I'll still miss the life I was currently living. So much is changing.

"I'm back!", Alice said happily as she opened the door and came in. "I got you a small one and some chocolate because I'm the greatest sister in the whole wide world."

"Sure you are.", I smiled as I started driving again toward school.

Everyone was right about Abby. I had nothing to worry about. I hardly ever saw her. Sure she was a rude bitch and all when I did see her, but she never tried anything. So I was able to turn my body guard mode off today. I had pretty much walked Alice everywhere on Wednesday and Thursday. And she made it a point to make it hard on me. Like yesterday, on the way to class, she stopped and stood in the hallway, just to piss me off. That bitch.

"Alright everyone.", Mr. Gold, my English teacher, said as he clapped his hands together. "The copy machine broke, so I have nothing for you guys to do at all. So the rest of the time is yours and use it wisely."

That was nice, except I had nothing to do. Everyone else on the other hand was doing some last minute work. Even Kristoff, who sat across the room from me, was doing his Government work. I did tell him to do it last night. But his excuse was football. The only other person with apparently nothing to do was next to me. And she still wasn't talking to me, or anyone.

For Chemistry we haven't had a project to do together, but Mr. Oaken promised one for next week. And I was going to fail it if this bitch didn't talk to me. She was so damn weird.

I turned to face her. Today she just had jeans and a blue shirt with the number 19 in white today. The meaning of that was kind of killing me. Her blonde hair was in a pony tail with the tip black. Her shades were off because she wasn't allowed to wear them in here. Mr. Gold actually made that a rule. On the classroom rule poster, he added no sunglasses indoors. We all knew who he was referring to on that one.

Since I was going to have to get her on talking terms with me I decided that I might as well try. "Um Elsa?", I said to her, but she just continued to stare at the wall next to her. I took a deep breath and shook her shoulder, but I might will have been trying to talk to a store mannequin. I rolled my eyes, as I turned to my binder to find something to entertain myself with. I took out line paper and pencil to write a note to the girl next to me.

Look, I know you don't like me, but whatever. For Chemistry we're going to have to talk next week, so you should at least consider saying a work or two.

-Anna

I angrily folded the note and tossed it in front of her. She turned to the desk in front of her and stared at it with a frown. Then she turned to me with those blue eyes of her. I stared back at her, determined not to back down. Her jaw clenched with I thought was anger. Why is she angry? It was kind of scary actually. Her stare send chills down my spine that made my stomach turn.

As suddenly as it had happened, she slowed adverted her eyes from me and back to her desk. She picked up the folded paper with her gloved hands and read over it. Then she did the last thing I would expect from anyone, especially her.

She ripped the paper in half, right in front of me. The bitch just teared it front of me like it was nothing. I get that she didn't want to speak to me at all. I get it, I really do. I mean I probably wouldn't talk to me either, but did she really have do that in right front of me. That was just rude and uncalled for. And it made my blood boil for the third time this week.

First it was when she did that cell phone volume thing, because she didn't want to listen to me. The second was finding out that Abby wanted to get Alice. And now this. Elsa didn't want to talk to me, so she destroyed the other way of communication I had with her. I hoped that Abby beats her sorry ass later on.

The bell rang and we were dismissed. I glared at the way she elegantly walked out and left, throwing the remains of my 'note' in the trash.

I was on my way to the cafeteria to join the others when someone poked my shoulder. I turned and saw teal eyes looking back.

"Hey Anna?", She said.

"What's up?", I said.

"I'm staying after school today.", She informed me.

"Um okay.", I wanted to ask for why, but decided against it. "Does Mom know about this?"

"Duh of course she does. She was the one who signed my papers." Alice said impatiently.

I wanted to argue, but at the same time I wasn't in the mood for it. "What time do you want me to come pick you up then?"

"I'm not sure, probably 5:30 maybe 6.", She said lost in thought.

"Why don't you call me and I'll pick you up, okay?", I suggested.

Her face lit up. "That sounds great!"

I reached into my backpack and took out my charger and placed it on her hand. "You better call. And I don't want the my phone died excuse again. Got it?"

She huffed in mock annoyance. "Anna, I got this."

"That's what you said about that Biology homework you didn't do last night, because you were too busy losing.", I said laughing.

Her cheeks turned pink at that. "Shut up and don't bring it up. Those zombies are dying tonight for sure."

"I still think Mom shouldn't have bought you that video game.", I shrugged.

"I'm walking away.", She said as she turned away.

I'll see you later then.", I said to her back. Her response was a middle finger coming my way. That's my little sister right there, showing me utmost respect.

Once in the cafeteria, I joined the others. Marshall sitting there with a mirror in hand, adding more eyeliner to her eyes. She was really into that stuff. She was also uninterested in whatever Steve and Kristoff were arguing about this time around. It was always something with them.

"Hey guys!", I sat next to Marshall. "What's up."

"I'll tell you what's up.", Kristoff said. "Steve here is thinks that Batman would win in a fight against Superman."

"Batman is awesome.", Steve crossed his arms. "And he's a total badass."

"But he doesn't have any powers!", Kristoff said.

"Is that your only argument?", Steve smirked.

"Bro, it's the only argument I need!", He said.

"Being a hero is more than just having super powers.", Steve argued. "Not to mention he's a fucking genius."

"Superman could just destroy the planet and Batman's gone.", Kristoff made explosion sounds. "Can Batman survive in space with his brain? No he can't!"

"Let's be honest here, Superman's too much of a mama's boy to even consider doing that.", Steve said. "He'll just throw Batman in jail and Batman will use his genius brain to break out."

"And of course Captain America says that.", He waved his arms in the air for emphasis. "Superman can-"

"Would you two shut up already!", Marshall said she grabbed a napkin to fix the mess on her eye. "You ruined my make-up."

"We're having an intellectual debate Marshall.", Kristoff said. "This is important. Why don't you help by telling us your opinion."

"Fine.", She angrily set her things down. "I think that Thor would win."

"Thor's the worse of them all.", Steve said. "He's just a spoil prince."

"Exactly.", Kristoff backed him up. "He's a fucking hotheaded idiot."

Marshall rolled her eyes. "Say what you want. Chris Hemsworth is hot in his Thor outfit."

"You're a lost cause you know that?", Kristoff said and pointed at himself with his muscular chest puffed up. "Besides I'm the only hot blond around here."

"If everyone was blind, and it was night time, and the power was out, then yes. You're very hot.", Marshall said with a straight face that made it even funnier. We all started laughing. Kristoff slumped his chair and attempted to hide his red face. Then they all turned to me once we had calmed down.

"What do you think Anna?", Steve asked.

"I'm more of a Spiderman fan.", I said. "I think he's the coolest of them all.

"Peter Parker is such a dork.", Marshall said, carefully fixing her right eye.

"Peter is supposed to be a dork.", I said. "That's what makes him different."

"He's different alright.", Marshall said as she finished her make-up.

"What do you guys think?", She asked Kristoff and Sven.

"It's fine.", Steve said, trying to sound like he was interested.

"Looks the same to me.", Kristoff said shrugging.

"Hopeless.", Marshall murmured and turned to me. "What do you think Anna?"

"Um let's see.", I said as I studied her gray eyes. "Your left eye has a little too much, but you can only see it if you're up closed. And your right eye looks little sloppy", I said. "You know what? Let me get that for you."

"Look up.", I commanded as I tried to fix it.

"You two really are girls.", Kristoff made a puking face and fist pumped Steve.

"Wow you two are made for each other.", Marshall resorted and I laughed.

"Okay, that should do it.", I said as I finished. "Here.", I gave her the mirror for her to look at it.

"Thanks Anna. Looks better than usual.", Marshall really did look grateful. "I'm glad that Kristoff brought you along."

"I'm waiting.", Kristoff said with his arms crossed, looking away, pouting his lip.

"Oh right.", Marshall said smacking her forehead. "How could I forget. Thank you raging teenage hormones."

"Ooh!", Steve said laughing. "Burn!"

"Fuck off.", Kristoff grunted.

"However, I don't blame you.", Steve said and then looked me in the eye. "You're beautiful Anna."

This made me face go red. "Thank you?"

Someone cleared their throat loudly me behind me. I was thankful for a distraction. I turned and saw blue eyes and light brown hair. "Hey Jack!"

"Hi Anna. And Steve, Kristoff, and Marshall.", He looked at each of us as he said their names. "I forgot to ask you during forth, but anyway, I wasn't here yesterday, and I was wondering if I could borrow your notes. I promise I'll bring and give them back to you as soon as I can."

"Sure.", I took out my journal and handed it to him. "Hope you can understand my ugly handwriting."

"I think I'll manage. Thanks a lot.", He smiled and walked away to the other side of the cafeteria. I looked at the others. Steve was cleaning his glasses. Kristoff was drinking water, not looking at me. Marshall was a red faced mess. "What?"

"You didn't tell me you had math with Jack Frost.", Marshall said accusingly. "I thought we were friends."

"Was I supposed to?", I asked.

Kristoff a puking face. "Like every other girl in school, Marshall here has the hots for him."

"But we keep telling her to move on because he's a total jerk.", Steve said. "Hans is the worse though."

"He's not a jerk.", Marshall said.

"Jerk or not, you can't just sit there and do nothing.", Kristoff said. "Anna, you're a way better sibling than Jack is to his sister."

"It's not like she wants any help.", Marshall was still defending Jack's name.

"I'm sorry, I'm confused.", I said. "Just who's Jack's sister?"

"She's...", Steve looked behind me. "Speak of the devil."

I turned slightly and saw fucking Abby walking in with three bitches behind her. I didn't see anything out of the ordinary though. "I don't understand. Jack and Abby look nothing alike."

"Not Abby, just watch.", Kristoff murmured. It was loud in the building, but it was still quieter than usual. Most were watching Abby and her goons as she confidently headed toward the table in the corner. I didn't like where this was going.

Elsa was sitting there by herself, reading her book. When Abby was next to her table, she slammed her hand down hard and loud. It me finch at little.

"Well, well well. What do we have here.", Abby said very loud for everyone to hear. Elsa, being herself, ignored her. This seemed to anger Abby. "Bitch, I'm talking to you!"

Abby took Elsa's yellow book out of her hand and threw it to one of her goonies. "Hello, anybody in there?!", She said mockingly and I wanted to beat up Abby so badly again. Too bad I had no fighting skills whatsoever. "So you whore. What's does that number of yours mean? Is it all the guys you've fucked?"

Elsa didn't say anything, she stared at the table like it was the most interesting thing in the world. The only indication she gave that she was listening was that was touching her number on her chest with her right hand. She was also frowning, but it was directed at no one.

"I'm talking to you!", Abby put a finger under Elsa's chin and lifted her face to look up. "Take these off, you bitch!", She grabbed Elsa's shades and threw them on the floor. With her boot, she stumped her foot down and shattered them. The room was now completely quiet, and I could hear my heart beating so damn fast in my ears. "Say something damn it!"

Elsa was as silent as ever. From what I could see, she wasn't even looking at Abby. Her pretty face was facing Abby, but her blue eyes were staring off into space. Abby grabbed Elsa's collar and made her stand. Her right hand into a fist, ready to nail Elsa if she didn't say anything. "Say something, or so help me, I'll send you to the fucking hospital!"

Because Elsa was still silent, Abby brought then brought her fist to the side of Elsa's cheek. It was such a loud and powerful blow, I could hear it echo the against the walls. It also send Elsa to the ground. I touched my own face as I thought of the pain Elsa was feeling on her face at this moment. Sure she got on my nerves, but she still didn't deserved that. She hasn't done anything. Literally.

"You're a pathetic freak.", Abby spat next to Elsa, who was now sitting on the ground. With that, she stumped out of the cafeteria. Slowly everyone went back to what they were doing before the whole thing started.

I watched as Elsa got up from the ground and headed out toward the door. All eyes on her. As she walked pass our table, I saw that the side of her side was a bright red. It stood out against her pale skin. I looked at her blue eyes, but I saw nothing in them. No signs of her about to cry or anything. No sadness, no anger, and no nothing. What's with her? She looked like she didn't even feel the pain. After she had left, I continued to stare at the closed door.

"Hello. Earth to Anna. Hello.", Steve said snapping his fingers in front of my face.

"What was that?!", I still couldn't believe what I had just witness. Elsa just got punched in the face by Abby. I felt sick for wishing this upon her earlier. I didn't mean it. I was just angry, it was my anger talking.

"Elsa's kind of been Abby's punching bag since she moved here last semester.", Steve said.

"Since Abby moved here?", I asked.

"No, since Elsa moved here.", Kristoff corrected.

"Elsa moved here?", I could believe that either.

"I know. Hard to believe that, huh?", Marshall said. "Basically she moved here to live with her mom and brother."

"Brother?", I started thinking about what was said earlier about Jack. Then it all made sense. The rich blue eyes and they familiar features I saw in Jack. "Jack is Elsa's brother."

"Yeah. Twins actually.", Steve said.

"But they have different surnames. I don't get it.", I said. This was too confusing.

"You see, when they were born, the parents divorced and they each kept one. The mom got Jack and the dad got Elsa.", Marshall explained. "They were brought up differently and they have different surnames. Jack has the one from his step dad, while Elsa has her dad's."

"Okay, I think I'm square now.", I said as I took in all this new information. "But wait, why did Elsa move with her mom? Did her dad not want her?"

"About that, Elsa's dad kind of died at sea during a storm in his yacht.", Kristoff said as he looked down. "The boat hit rock bottom."

"That's sad.", I said as I thought of Elsa sitting on floor at Abby's feet. Now left alone and helpless.

"Yeah. Anyway I heard that Jack hates Elsa.", Steve said. "And every time Abby bullies Elsa, Jack just sits there and does nothing. Today was just another day of this drama."

"What kind of brother does that?", Jack seemed nice and all.

"Apparently Jack.", Kristoff said with a frown.

"Elsa's no saint you know. She's is total bitch sometimes.", Marshall said.

"Must be genetic then.", Kristoff said to to Marshall who just shrugged and rolled her eyes.

"I guess.", We spend the rest of lunch time talking about a football game was coming up next week. But that couldn't stop the sadness I felt for Elsa. Her father died and she had to move in with her mom. Her brother, her twin, hated her. What an asshole. I would never do to Alice, no matter how much of a pain she is at times. And to top it off, she has a fucking tormentor.

And all of that started last semester. The death of her dad was probably still fresh in her head, and the fact that her brother hates her didn't help. If anything, it made matters worse. But was that an even excuse to shut the world out? To be that loner who who sits alone, talks to no one, and wears that that 19 on all her clothing?

The bell rang and I headed upstairs to Chemistry. As I was walking, I saw one of Abby's bitches. I saw her throw something yellow in the trash. It was also square shaped. She was the one Abby gave the book to, wasn't she?

Once the girl was gone, I headed to the trash and fished it out. There was no trash inside, so the book didn't get dirty, nor did it smell. The yellow cover read The Shining. I opened it and the bookmark was a couple pages short of the ending. I bet she would have finished if stupid Abby hadn't come in today. I placed the book in my backpack and then headed to class.

When I opened the door and went in, I didn't look at Elsa as I sat next to her. To say it was awkward was an understatement. Honestly, I was very acute of all her movements. It send me an electric shock when her arm accidentally brushed against mine. And the stupid part was that she had a long sleeve on, so how the hell does that happen. I was also very aware of how cold it was in here. I kept rubbing my arms to keep away those goosebumps. The damn air conditioner must be broken. I was also aware of the clock ticking on the wall. It was ticking too slow in my opinion.

All we did was take notes and lecture, but it felt like fucking forever. And I still hadn't given Elsa her book back. Maybe that was why I was so nervous, though I couldn't understand why. It's not the first time I've tried to talk to her. But I better do it soon. Or else she'll be the first one out of class again and I wasn't sure if she'll show up to P.E. I was honestly surprised that she didn't ditch school after what happened during lunch. Guess she's too cool for that.

As soon as we were dismissed, Elsa rushed out. Getting out of my seat, I was about to head out when I heard my name.

"Miss Anderson, may I see you?", Mr. Oaken said and I groaned inwardly. I had a pretty good idea of what this was about. I walked over to his desk.

"Yes?", I asked nervously.

"I'll make this brief. You didn't do as well as I wanted you to do on the test yesterday.", He said.

"I don't know what to say.", It was an honest answer. Chemistry just didn't agree with me.

"How about you study over the weekend for a retake and if you're still struggling, I'll assign you a tutor.", He said.

"That actually sounds pretty good.", I said. I needed all the help I could get.

"Glad to hear you like it, most students hate it.", He said as he wrote me late note. And I was off to P.E.

The locker room was empty, safe for one person. And guess who it was. Sometimes I think our encounters are planned out or something. She still hadn't changed yet. She was about to remove her shirt when I came in and stopped all together when I headed toward her.

She stood there frozen looking at her locker. Normally I would have been mad at her, but after everything I've learn about her, I couldn't find it in myself. Even if I tried. I took a deep breath as I unlocked my locker and took my clothes out. Elsa was still frozen there. She shouldn't be shy, she's too pretty for that. I look at her face, specifically her left cheek. It wasn't swollen or anything. The only sign that she was hit was just it was slightly pink. But that it. And it made me smile like an idiot.

"Elsa.", I said to her, but she didn't say anything. And I wasn't expecting her to. "Look, just change, I promise I won't peek alright? You're not my type anyway.", I tried to joke. It was somewhat true. I wasn't a lesbian or anything, but even if I was, Elsa wouldn't be what I'll look for, though I wouldn't exactly know what I would look for.

With that, I walked over to the end of the roll of lockers. "Turning my back here.", I turned my back to her and removed my blouse. My shoulders were covered in light freckles, they used to annoy the hell out of me, but not anymore. I sometimes like to play connect the dots with them. I put on my forest green shirt and as I am doing that, I hear the ruffle of clothes behind me. Indicating that Elsa was doing the same as me. Good for her then. Then I removed my shorts and put on the other ones. After that I put on my tennis shoes as well. I was all done.

"I'm turning around now.", I said and three seconds later, I did as I said I would. Elsa was putting her stuff away. Now's my chance. "Hey um Elsa? I uh have your book.", I said as I take her book out.

She stares at the book in my hands with what I thought was confusion. "I saw one of the bitches throw it in the trash.", I explained. "I took it out and it's not dirty at all. And it would suck to have to pay for a book you didn't even finish.", I held it out for her, but she didn't take it. "It's not a trap.", I said to her. She sighed and then took it.

She carefully felt it in her hands before putting it away. And she walked away. I rolled my eyes and ran to catch up to her. As we head side by side to the gym, I can hear Mr. Smith yelling as usual.

"Anderson! Macbeth!", He yelled. "You're both late! So two laps for the class!"

"Actually,", I began. "I- I mean we, Elsa and I, have a pass.", I said as I hand him the note.

He studied the note with interest. "It only has your name Anderson."

"We both have Chemistry together, so there really was no need for that.", I said with the confidence I didn't have. Please buy it.

"Well alright then.", He said. "We're just playing basketball today, so get to it maggots."

"Yes sir.", I said as I head over to Steve who was giving me a knowing smirk. I snuck a glance over to Elsa, but she was on the other side of the gym.

"You're lucky Mr. Smith has no people skills.", He said.

"Shut up and give me the ball.", I said and he laughed.

I walked back into the locker room all sweaty and stuff when I see Elsa walking out. I glance at her, but she's staring ahead. Nothing's changed between us, I thought as I went in. When I get to my locker, I noticed that it was slightly ajar. Did I forget to lock it? When I open it, nothing was out of the ordinary. Except for one thing. There was a white index card inside on top of all my things. Whoever left it wanted me to see it. I grabbed and read the messaged on the blank side of the card. My heart skipped a beat when I realized who it was from and even more so when I read what it said.

Thank you

-Elsa

A/N: So um did you know it's the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, on my end anyway. Yeah, something to think about.
