ELSA'S POV
Today is Friday. After yesterday my mind is exhausted and cluttered, but luckily tomorrow is Saturday. Wait, Saturday. Jack's date with Kida is tomorrow. I wish it could be with me, but who am I kidding. A guy like Jack would never like me. I'm not as beautiful as her or as nice. I'm probably not as smart as her either. I'm just ordinary. Just another face in the crowd. I don''t really know what is to come today, but hopefully I'll be able to get through it. Today shouldn't be so bad. I'll only see Jack in like 2 classes. And lunch. I'll be able to make it. Just conceal, don't feel, don't let it show.
I've decided that today is going to be like any normal day. I'm just going to pretend that yesterday never happened and that I don't have feelings for Jack. I get up and do my normal morning routine of eating breakfast and getting dressed. Today I'm just going to wear jeans, a light blue sweater, my white scarf, and combat boots. I'm thinking about keeping my hair down. I don't really feel like putting it up. I guess I'm just too lazy and tired from crying. I grab my stuff and go downstairs to meet Anna and my parents.
Anna promised to keep my feelings hidden from my parents and I am grateful for that. I wouldn't want them to worry. When we get to school, we automatically see Punzie and Merida. When we get there, they drown me in questions.
How are you doing? How are you feeling? Are you ok to be in school right now? What are you going to do when you see Jack? Should I beat him up for you? Are we going to kick him out of the group? You're not going to leave our group, right? I can set you up with someone else if you want. What about-
"Guys, I'm fine." I say, cutting them off from all of their questions. "Are you sure?" asks Rapunzel. "Yes, I'm sure. Look, it's not really a big deal. Jack can like whoever he wants. He chose Kida and I have chosen to accept that fact and be happy for him." I try not to show any negative emotions when I say her name, but I feel the jealousy begin to collect. "Wow, you're taking this better than I thought you would." Said Merida. "Yeah, well I figured, everything happens for a reason. And even though I love Jack, he's probably not my true love. If he was, we would be together right now, so you know, whatevs." I say this and then the bell rings. Luckily I was able to escape that conversation. Then again, I may not because Rapunzel is in my next class. I'm sure she won't push it. Oh great, Jack is in my next class isn't he. Well this is just perfect.
As I walk into class, I find a seat in the back of the room, hopefully Jack doesn't come sit next to me. Rapunzel comes in and takes one of the seats next to me. Luckily, she isn't pushing the issue. She simply just smiles and begins to talk about music. Then I see Jack come in. Looks like he's happy. Probably for his date tomorrow. Stop it Elsa, don't think about it. Think about something else. Hmmmmm, oh I know, it's almost your birthday, that's always fun right? You'll be turning 16, sweet 16.
My thoughts of my birthday are broken when I hear Jack say hi to me. "Morning Els," he says as he gives me his usual warm smile. I love his smile. It's so perfect. He truly looks happy. I should be happy for him instead of thinking about my jealousy. Afterall, he is my best friend. "Morning," I reply back. We don't say another word to each other after that. Then Mrs. Sonata comes in and writes Winter on the board. "Ok class, it's almost winter break which means that there are many great songs being played. Now, winter is a time for love, joy, spirit, family, and fun. So, for our next assignment, each of you will choose a song normally played for winter holidays or during winter that relates to one of those themes." Hmmm, I'll probably do like love, joy, or spirit or something. Definitely not fun and I don't really know any involving family.
"Now, you will sing those songs during class next week, so be prepared. Along with winter break is the winter ball. Depending on how well you sing, I may or may not choose you to sing a song during the ball. Yes, it may be nerve racking, but if I choose you, and you do it, you will get extra credit, which will be helpful for you all if you do not think you will do well on finals. Even if you are not singing, I hope all of you will be attending the ball. Now, choose your songs, tell me, and then begin practicing. I can't wait to hear them." Once she finishes, everyone immediately gets to work. "So Elsa," Jack begins, "are you planning on going to the ball?" He blushes and continues to look at his laptop. "Ummmm, yeah I was planning on it. How about you? Are you going to ask Kida?" I think my last sentence came out harsher than I wanted it to be. Curse my stupid jealousy. "Yeah, I was planning to go. I'm not sure if I'm going to ask her though. Depends on how tomorrow goes." The odds of it going bad are incredibly low, so he probably will go with her. "I'm sure tomorrow will be fine. You two seem like you would get along really well. I guess I'll see you guys at the ball." Every single word I said stung my heart. I didn't like saying those words, but I have to pretend like I'm happy for them.
The conversation stops there and we continue to look for songs. I'm thinking about doing Santa Can You Hear me? by Britney Spears. It mostly talks about how she just wants love and that's what I want. I just want to love and be loved. However, I only want that from one person. Unfortunately, I guess I'll never get my Christmas wish.
Music was finally done, now I just have to get through English. Hopefully Jack and Kida don't show too much PDA. I'm sure Jack has been with many girls, so he probably moves fast. I was able to get through lunch. So far my act has been working. Only Rapunzel, Merida, and Anna know of my feelings, but to them, I probably look fine. But fine is not always a good thing.. Fine just means I'm not bad. It's still a lie, but saying that should still translate to something is wrong. However, everyone is too dense to see that.
I get to English and see Jack talking to Kida. They really do look happy. I sit down at my seat and as I look at them, I am reminded of Olaf. They must be feeling what I must've felt with Olaf. Sometimes, I think my feelings for Jack are greater than mine were with Olaf. But, if Olaf was my true love, than I can't have another. If Jack was my true love, I would already be with him right now. There's no use in trying to get him to love me like I love him. All him and I will ever be is best friends. I'm pretty much friend zoned.
I managed to make it through school today. As soon as we got home, I went to my room and began my homework. However, as I was doing my homework, I just spontaneously started to cry. I don't know for what reason, but tears just continued to flow out of my eyes. My heart began hurting and as I thought about as to why I was crying, all of my insecurities came out and I began to blame my tears on them. I blamed my sadness on my insecurities about how I am not beautiful enough, smart enough, skinny enough, talented enough. How Kida is so much better than me in all of those things. How, no one loves me and how I will die alone. Then I realized the main reason, I'm just jealous. I'm jealous of Kida for being who she is. She's nice and beautiful and popular. Everything that I guy would want, and everything that I am not. I continue to cry and let all of my emotions spill out. I don't even care if my powers are released, right now, I'm just going to cry. I guess this is what happens when you conceal your emotions.
ANNA'S POV
I feel so bad for Elsa. To everyone else, she seems perfectly fine. She has a smile on her face and looks happy. To others, it's like yesterday never happened. However, I see through her mask. Merida and Punzie have fallen for her act, but I know my sister and she is not truly happy. She is hurting right now, but she chooses to hide it. She's always shut people out and has always hidden her emotions. Sure, we may not be the closest, but we are sisters, and sisters must know when one is hurting.
She looks like she's doing fine today. She's acting like yesterday never happened and she seems to be normal around Jack. She's a great actor. Maybe she should take theatre. I can see past her smile, past her mask. Deep down, she is crying. She is hurting, and she is dying. Her heart is broken and the way she is coping with it is by hiding her feelings. I'm no love expert, but I know how it feels to have your heart broken. I mean, I don't know how it feels, but I can only imagine. I hate Jack for hurting her and for ignoring the fact that he did, however, I promised not to make a big deal out of it.
When we get home, Elsa goes straight to her bedroom. She does that everyday, but today is not everyday. Today she has kept her feelings in. She's kept every ounce of pain in. She's hidden her broken heart and sooner or later, her feelings are going to poor out. And I'm going to be there when they do. I have to be there. That's what sisters are for. I walk upstairs and press my ear against her door. I knew it. She's not fine. If she was fine, I wouldn't be hearing her sobs right now. Curse you Jack Frost for hurting my sister.
I try to open the door, but it's frozen solid. Luckily, I have a power of my own. You see, while Elsa has ice powers, I have fire. I am able to control mine because I'm always happy and I always feel loved, but for some reason, Elsa thinks that she isn't loved. Not many people know of my powers. Kristoff knows because he's my boyfriend. Punzie and Elsa know, but that's because they're family. But everyone else, I have been able to keep it a secret. Elsa can't hurt me anymore. She struck me once, but it couldn't do anymore than put me in a coma and turn my hair white. My powers saved me from the real damage. I put my hand on the door and focused my energy on the other side to melt the ice. Once I heard the ice begin to crack, I opened the door. When I did, I saw Elsa on her bed, in a ball, crying her heart out. I will kill you Jack Frost.
