Elsa POV
"You wanna go watch a movie?" Jack asked nonchalantly while leaning against the stair railing.
"Does this involve skipping class?" I asked, raising my eyebrow.
"Maybe~" Jack said in a sing-song voice as he slid down the ledge at the side of the stairs.
"I guess it couldn't hurt.." I trailed off, walking down the stairs.
"I'm glad you see things my way! Weaseltown's Lessons are so boring anyway." Jack stuck his tongue out playfully. "He won't notice if we are gone."
"Movie?" Jack asked, while lounging around in his dormitory.
"I'm not too sure…"
"Oh, come on! We weren't caught last time."
"That was last time."
"Don't make me force you." Jack warned as he opened the window wide.
"I will, Frosty." I turned around.
"Please come?" Jack made a face described as 'the smoulder'. It was so cute… One eyebrow was sloped up while the other was turned down a bit more, but still sloping up. His eyes seemed to be smaller and crescent-shaped, and his lips were a bit puffed out with a lopsided smile.
"Ye-No. Nice try." I stuttered, turning red.
"Then you leave me no choice." Jack took out a stick from under his bed.
"Why do you keep a stick under your bed? That's sorta unsanitary." I wrinkled my nose. "You aren't going to hit me with it, you'd never hit a girl anyway."
"Oh please, it's not a stick, it's a staff. Don't be restickulous." Jack said, leaning on it slightly
"That was terrible!"I facepalmed.
"Treeable, or not, well, princess, you're coming with me."
Before I can react, he loops the curved part of his stick (staff) around my waist and he tossed me out the window.
"What was that for?! I'm going to die!" I yelled, but Jack followed me nimbly.
I land with a little rustle into a big tree with strong branches, Jack landing ninja-like next to me.
"That pun was horrible. Treeable?"I asked, raising my eyebrow.
"You ask that question first?" Jack looked amused. "First, you screech about dying, and then you comment on my pun, without even telling me that I'm crazy? That's what I love about you."
That made me feel like blushing, but I tried to cover it.
"Come on, we'll be late!" Jack is already at the foot of the tree.
"I though you didn't care about time." I remarked as I searched with my foot in a lady-like manner for the next branch.
"I do when it's for someone important." Jack said, making me blush momentarily. "Now hurry up!"
"You can't blame me for never climbing trees." I remarked daintily.
I took an extra long time on purpose, but Jack didn't really seem to mind.
"Come on, Snowflake." He grinned, making the sun seem like a black hole. "We got a movie to catch."
"Please?" Jack asked. "Don't make me do the smoulder again."
He waves two colourful tickets in front of my face.
"You know I don't go to amusement parks." I said matter-of-factly. "I have never been to one anyway."
"Oh come on!" Jack said exasperated. "You need to go at least once!"
"No." I replied.
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes!"
"No."
"Yes!"
"No."
"YES!"
"NO."
"Oh come on, everyone will be there…" Jack suddenly must have realized that I don't like crowds and frowned. "I mean, there won't be many people there.."
"How cute, just don't be so obvious when covering up." I stuck my tongue out childishly. "Fine."
What a mistake I made, listening to Jack.
I found myself at the foot of a huge roller coaster with loop-de-loops and an almost 90 degree angle drop.
"The Temperature Drop! It's the newest one!" Jack chattered excitedly.
"Only a crazy person would go on that!" Hiccup shuddered.
He and (secretly)I gulped as we heard screams of either torture or joy.
"Nah, Hiccup, it's just you who wouldn't. You would wet your pants if you did." Merida declared.
"I'm not worrying, I'll have Hans come on with me!" Anna swooned.
Jack and I exchanged a look. Hans hadn't come yet, but he promised Anna.
"Hopefully, he's so dumb that he'd get lost." Astrid remarked to Merida.
I don't think anyone wanted Hans to come, minus Anna.
"In the meanwhile, can I sit with you, Kristoff?" Anna cheerily skipped over to him.
"Do you want to sit-"
"Hey guys!" Tooth cheerfully interrupted.
I turned around awkwardly, feeling like I was intruding on their conversation.
Before I walked out of earshot, I heard Tooth say, "We should sit together, I won't be scared when I'm next to you!"
That sparked up some jealousy in me, but I stayed composed and quiet.
Punzie was off with her crush, Flynn. Flynn would be a great thief; he was sneaky and could smoulder his way out of anything. Somehow, I think Jack was more pro. Anna was talking to a very amused Kristoff, Hiccup was going on to disprove Merida's 'Hiccup Wetting Pants' theory, and Bunny…was standing awkwardly, just like me.
"Hello, Bunny." I said formally.
"G'Day, Elsa." He acknowledged curtly.
"So, are you going on the Temperature Drop?"
"Depends… If Jack says that I'm too chicken, I'll have to prove him wrong. I prefer the underground roller coaster."
"I'll tell them to go on that one next." I tried to smile.
"So, Tooth!" Jack dragged Tooth and himself towards me and Bunnymund. "What do you think about riding with good ole Fluffball? It's Elsa's first time in forever on a roller coaster…. so what do you say?"
Tooth sighed. "Maybe just this once."
"You'll have fun." Jack persuaded as he shoved her gently towards Bunny.
"Sorry about that." Jack said as we walked out of earshot. "She's been acting weirdly."
"Maybe it's because she likes you!" I blurted out in my head.
Jack looked at me weirdly.
"What?"
"Oh, nothing."
"Don't be a sourpuss!" Jack smiled. "Now, who wants to ride in the first one?"
"I thought you were aiming for speed?" I asked. "The back is actually the fastest."
"Oh, well in that case, back it is." Jack said. "Anything for you."
I was sure he meant it in a friendly way, but a gut feeling told me that he meant so much more.
"Well..uh, it's okay, we can sit in the front?" I asked. "Not trying to rain on your parade."
"More like snow." He smirked. "The faster, the better."
I smiled as I came back to the school. My weekend was perfect, even though I didn't complete any homework.
I flopped onto my bed, closing my eyes as I remembered the thrilling roller coaster ride. Hiccup surprisingly didn't wet his pants, but he tripped and fell after the ride because he was so disoriented.
"That was awesome!" Jack exclaimed. "Elsa, do you want to buy some cotton candy?"
"Sure, but first, let's go again!" I felt amazing. I haven't felt like this since…well… I was little and I was figure skating. I truly felt alive.
"That's my girl!" Jack winked as we sprinted back to the ride, Hiccup looking at us like we were crazy.
I heard the sharp, urgent vibration of my phone. Picking it up, I saw that I had missed near 50 calls. From my father.
Oh shoot, how did I mess up this badly?
I panicked as I answered the call, taking deep breaths in and out to reassure myself.
"Elsa." My father said sternly.
"Yes?" I asked.
"What were you thinking, skipping all of the classes? You know those are very important for your future." He paused.
"I may have skipped some classes," I replied, trying not to let my voice shake. "But I caught up on all the work, with no difficulty."
"Is that so?" I could imagine my father being suspicious, but he continued. "Is this school too easy? We could always have you transfer. Our homeschooling program and other schools taught you manner, poise, grace, and had better academics."
"No!" I said loudly. "I mean, no. Sorry, father."
"But you still haven't answered my question. Why did you skip class?" He sounded a bit gentle.
I inhaled. "Because, I have a friend. And you might've told me to focus on academics, but that isn't living life to its fullest, like my friend taught me to do. That is better than being cooped up, being groomed and being the perfect girl that you always have to be. Having a little bit of fun is necessary."
"I see. So it's your friend who is distracting you from studies. Who is this friend? What's her name?"
"It's not a she." I said boldly. "He's a he. Jack Frost. And I never met someone as inspirational as him."
"Jack Frost?" I could see my father pensively staring off into space. "Elsa, you know you can't let yourself be distracted by boys. I'm sure this Old Man Winter wouldn't mind if you dumped him."
I chuckled when I realized my father must be reading off of a cue card, but abruptly cut myself off.
"He's not my boyfriend!"
"Elsa, I don't want you to hang around this boy. He means trouble. Skipping class and flunking tests, playing around with girls' hearts."
"That isn't Jack-"
"Everyone has a hidden side."
"Papa…"
"Stop, I'm only doing what is best for you."
"How do you know what is best for me?!" I practically screamed. "You took away my childhood by making me study and pressuring me. I never had fun, I never knew how amazing people could be! Maybe you don't know what's best for you!"
There was a pause.
"Sorry Papa, I don't know what came over me."
Father inhaled and exhaled slowly. "Maybe, but just don't hang around Jack Frost. He means trouble. I accept your apology. Perhaps hang out with people more similar to you, such as some boys sent from my work colleagues to your school. They are good, well raised men. Goodbye Elsa."
My father hung up.
Yeah, they may be well raised, but they aren't Jack! Self proclaimed, 'snowballs and fun times' and not 'hard work and deadlines'. They wouldn't have his looks, his personality, they would be the complete boring opposite.
Oddly, I didn't feel like crying.
I still felt alive.
Alive for standing up for myself and Jack, regardless if it was the right thing or not.
