A/N
I wanted to start this off with a little bit of background info because every fiction is different and I have read some, where Rapunzel is the same age as Anna and some, where Elsa and Anna are only a year apart or twins or something, so in order to not confuse any one, I'm gonna list the main characters and their ages/grade levels. I made up the ages to fit with the story line so if something is weird about it, I'm sorry.
Elsa: 17 – senior
Anna: 15 – sophomore
Rapunzel: 17 – junior
Jack: 17 – senior
Flynn: 18 – senior
Kristoff: 18 – senior
Merida: 16 – junior
Hiccup: 17 – senior
Hans: 19 – senior
Ok, so those are the main ones and if anyone wants to know, I will add more by request or if I purposely introduce a new main character. This chapter is going to be really short, but it's only because the next one has pretty much all the Elsa/Jack/Hans backstory. I also decided that if I got any comments on breaking up the back story by point of view, I would do that, too, but for now it is just in Elsa's point of view. I hope you like it even though it's short.
Rapunzel's POV
I have been waiting so long for this moment and I can't believe it is finally happening! I know that Jack my say that he is only trying to get into Elsa's pants or whatever, but it is a total act. Out of all of your friends, I think Flynn, Hiccup, and I have known him the longest and it's always obvious when he thinks highly of someone. One of the most telltale signs is when he scratches the back of his neck when he talks to them because it means he's getting nervous and just like that, him and Elsa are talking about their project or whatever and there he goes, raising his and up to his neck. I nudge Anna because I have already told her the process of very specific steps he goes through.
"What was the next one again?" She asks me in a whisper to be sure they don't notice us paying such close attention. Ok so step #1: nervous neck scratching.
"Small grin from the corner of his mouth." Sure enough, the left side of his mouth turns up and reveals another sign of infatuation. "And the last one would be-"
"Listening intently with no sign of interruption." Anna finishes for me. This one is the only major sign that he truly likes a girl because he can fake the other notorious ones because everyone watches for them, but this one is the subtle, but most important gesture. He has only done this for very few people so far, that I know of, and he's actually dated many others so that's saying a lot. The only reason I know about it is because I do the same exact thing. I mean, I've listened to Flynn talk about football for like three hours strait once and I just sat there listening without interruption. "He hasn't spoken for a while. He's just sitting there, listening to her tell him about something boring about school."
"So, how was school kids?" My mom interjects, stopping all conversation that was going on.
"Good! Although some people had a better day than most, I think." I say indirectly to Elsa, even though Anna has some news today too. "I mean, Anna has a new boyfriend and Dad got his award nomination at work!"
"Anna, you have a boyfriend? I haven't heard of any interest in someone recently." Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that one. The only person who doesn't think that situation is awkward is herself and the new man friend.
"Uh, yeah, I just met him today. His name is Hans, Hans Westergaard." My father looks up from the newspaper he seems to always be reading and gives Anna a confused look that I'm sure she has been getting all day. I have no idea how he is going to react, if it was me, he would be pissed and ground me for all eternity, but if it was Elsa who, let's be honest, he doesn't seem to like very much (I really have no idea why), he wouldn't care at all. Anna isn't his daughter, but he has shown more interest in her than her sister.
"What is this Westergaard like?" He asks. Honestly, I don't think Anna really know anything about him, but Jack and I, we know plenty. I probably shouldn't share my knowledge though because I already told Anna and she disregarded it and yelled me for be "prejudice" and not understanding enough. Elsa finds a sudden interest in her food and hasn't said anything like I'm sure she wants to. I don't think she's told her sister or anyone else what happened between her and Hans because if she had, Anna would never have given him a second look and I'm sure Jack wouldn't look confused at Elsa's reaction like he is now.
"Well, he's really nice to me… and he's a, uh, senior. He's funny and kind." Yeah she definitely knows nothing about him. He's way worse than Jack has ever been.
"Are you going to introduce us to him?" When my mom says this, Elsa starts chocking on her food and grabs her water glass to clear her throat. Oh no, this might actually kill her.
"Mom, I don't think that's necessary quite yet. It's been less than a whole day already." She nods and turns her attention to Elsa in worry.
"Are you ok?" She's been chugging her water, which is, I assume, to keep her mouth busy so she doesn't tell Anna what she has been trying to hold back for months now. Elsa nods and places her glass back down on the table. Anna looks confused so I change the subject to something else less uncomfortable.
"So dad, nomination for the third year in a row now!"

Elsa's POV
The rest of dinner goes on and no more weirdness has happened, which is pretty much thanks to my uncle, who made his story about work last the entire rest of the night. Afterwards, Jack excused himself and I led him back to my room to get his stuff.
"So your sister is going out with Hans, huh?" So this is happening. Great. Really the only person who knows about what happened when I first got here is Rapunzel because I made her promise to not tell anyone else, and the only reason I didn't tell Anna was because I was afraid she would tell everyone at school and they'll all look at me differently. I'm not about to tell Jack of all people so I try to avoid having to talk about my reaction at dinner.
"Yeah, I guess she is." I doubt he is fooled by the calm show I'm trying to put on. Would it really be a big deal if everyone knew? Yes, I decide. I can't let anyone else know about the pain I'm constantly in. "Do you have your stuff?"
"Yep… Thanks for helping me with this, I really appreciate you working with me." Instead of pressing the issue further, he walks out the door and down the stairs. After I hear the front door close, I walk over to my bed and wrap myself up in the giant comforter. I reflect back on that day and remember all of the crazy things that I did, when on any other day I would have acted completely different. At lunch, when I allowed myself to go with Kristoff to meet up with my sister and her friends. Or even before that when I confronted Rapunzel at breakfast. Actually, none of those are even the most shocking. The one that surprises me the most is my interactions with Jack. Ever since the day I met him, I vowed to myself that I wouldn't fall for his tricks like all of the other girls he hypnotizes. After my long contemplation period, I find myself drifting off to sleep and starting to dream of the night I first met Jack, putting an end to a very long, confusing, and emotional day.
A/N
Like I said, really short. I'm sorry it took so long too, I wanted to post on Wednesday, but this week has sucked for me and I just didn't feel like it. The good news is that next chapter with be super long so it will make up for this one I promise. If you like the story so far please review/follow/favorite and the will be more exciting things to come.
sanaa11: I hope you just didn't like Anna's reaction and not how I wrote it, but I still want to thank you for reviewing and all that. I agree that Anna was being childish, but that's kind of what happens in the movie right? Elsa blames herself for what happens and then it's a whole disaster of miscommunication between them. Anyways I hope you still liked the chapter and continue to read more of the story and tell me what you think of it!
Anonymoushoodiedgirl: Thank you very much for your kind words and your review honestly made my day when I read it because, like I said, I had kind of a rough week. Personally, I hope my story(s) become more popular too and more people enjoy them once I start writing more of them. Please tell me how you liked this chapter even though it is the shortest one, besides the intro, that I have written.
