The next day Anna's plan was going to be put into action. The day started like normal with Elsa avoiding Jack.
When Elsa and Anna got home Anna asked Elsa to grab one of the spare chairs from one of their guest rooms. She claimed that she had friends coming over. Elsa reluctantly agreed, but told Anna she would be in her room while they were here. As soon as Elsa stepped in the room Anna slammed the door attaching a string on the doorknob and the one across the hall.
"Anna let me out" Elsa exclaimed, but Anna was already gone.
Next Anna texted Jack.
Anna: Jack please help! Elsa is in grave danger!
Jack replied almost instantly.
Jack: What? Where are you?
Anna: At home, HURRY!
Jack: I am on my way.
What is going on?
Anna didn't reply. It was part of her plan. She felt cruel, but it was for Elsa so she had to do it.
When Jack did arrive he ran into the living room to find Anna and all the others. He was really confused, but he was too worried to ask them why they were here.
"Where is Elsa?" Jack asked.
"Follow me" Anna said.
Jack followed her to a room that was being held shut by a string. Inside he could hear Elsa screaming to be let out.
Anna undid the string and let Jack in. He was still really confused, but was still too worried to care. He charged into the room.
"Jack!" Elsa exclaimed stunned.
"Wait, how are you in danger?" Jack asked scanning the room.
"Um...I'm not" Elsa replied with a nervous laugh.
Elsa ran to the door, but Anna had already retied the string.
"Listen Elsa you and Jack need to work out your problems" Anna said "so you are staying in here."
Anna ran to the others to watch Jack and Elsa through the security cameras.
"This was all a setup" Jack asked still confused.
"Yep" Elsa replied "they want us to talk"
"Oh" Jack said "well it sucks that we are trapped in here, but at least you are okay."
"Uh… yeah but why did you think I was in danger?" Elsa asked.
Jack grabbed out his phone and showed Elsa the texts.
"So you came here for me?" She asked feeling touched.
"Yeah" Jack replied "though I probably should have realized it was a trap when I walked in the house to see all our friends calmly sitting on the couch. Then for Anna to calmly escort me to this room. Though you were screaming to be let out when I arrived.
Elsa giggled "I really can't believe you fell for that" she said. "The king of pranks and shenanigans was just fooled."
"I know it's stupid" he admitted "but I was so afraid you were hurt or something that I couldn't think clearly."
Elsa sighed. Jack was, like normal, looking out for others. He was just being his perfect self. Too bad he had a girlfriend or had at least kissed someone. Elsa laid down on the guest bed. Her sister would eventually have to let her out. She would just stay silent until then. It worked for a few minutes until Jack laid down next to her.
"Elsa sense we are trapped in her will you let me explain why you saw me kissing that girl" Jack asked hopeful.
"Like I said I DON'T CARE!" she exclaimed. She didn't mean to raise her voice. She blushed a little as she saw Jack sitting there stunned.
"Okay then why are you ignoring me?" Jack asked not convinced.
"I am not ignoring you" Elsa lied.
"Seriously Snowflake it's not what you think" Jack said.
Elsa's eyes showed curiosity asking the question she was thinking. What does that mean? Jack received the message.
"Vanessa asked me to help her find a book about Albert Einstein. I found it weird, but I agreed. When we got there she lead me to the back of the library and was smiling like crazy. I keep asking if we should go try to find the book, but she would just say in a second. Then out of the blue she kissed me. That is when I noticed that you were standing behind me. I tried to explain, but you didn't want to hear it." he chuckled nervously "it wasn't until you left that I realized what was going on." He explained.
Elsa's eyes still showed curiosity "so what was going on?" She asked.
"Well" he started "as soon as I turned around and saw Vanessa's satisfied smirk I realized she was trying to make you jealous."
Elsa's eyes widened in surprise.
"Yeah I know it's ridiculous" Jack said "but it was her plan. Though of course you wouldn't mind it if I kissed someone"
"Um...yeah. Me jealous… nope of course not" she laughed nervously "like I said I don't care who you kiss."
Jack smirked slightly " well I thought you weren't jealous, but now I think I might be mistaken" he said.
Elsa blushed furiously "I...I don't care" she stuttered.
Jack laughed "wow your even stuttering" he teased.
"Jack"she pouted.
"I'm just kidding" he said "so you weren't jealous at all?"
He couldn't help but ask.
"Of course I wasn't jealous" she lied "do you want me to be?"
"No no of course not" he said "so anyways that is what happened. I just wonder how Vanessa knew that you would go to the library"
"Well I kind of received a note that was supposedly from you" she explained. "It told me to go to the library during privilege time."
"So I wasn't the only one falling for stupid tricks" Jack teased. "Didn't you get suspicious when I didn't mention it?"
Elsa blushed " well yeah I did find it weird" she admitted.
"So why didn't you ask me about it?" Jack asked.
"Well I...you see I thought maybe" she stopped having no idea how to respond. Anna had helped her realize why, but she couldn't admit to that.
"Oh was that why you were acting so weird during first hour?" Jack asked.
She nodded a pink tint still on her cheek.
"So you found things weird and obviously the note was on your mind, so why didn't you ask me about it?" Jack asked again.
"Honestly I thought you would say you didn't leave me the note" she admitted.
"Wouldn't that be good, to figure out whether or not I sent the note" he asked slightly confused.
She decided to come completely clean. Maybe he wouldn't think she had a crush on him. "I wanted it to be from you so we could spend time together, but when you didn't mention it in first hour I started to get worried that the note wasn't from you."she explained "that is why I didn't ask. I wanted to keep the little hope I had left that you left it."
Elsa could feel the heat on her face and she felt faint. She glanced over at Jack who was smiling.
"Seriously Snowflake we went through all of this just because you wanted to hang out?" Jack asked in disbelief. "If you wanted to hang out you could have just asked, we are best friends after all."
Elsa blushed a deeper shade of red, which she didn't even think was possible.
"Thanks though" Jack said looking over at Elsa who was clearly confused. "Thank you for telling me the truth Elsa" he clarified " even though you are still hiding whatever reason you have for ignoring me for two weeks."
Elsa stayed silent. She had ignored him to help her ignore her feelings. When she saw him she felt that terrible feeling that she had finally admitted to herself was jealousy.
"Sorry Jack I'm just not…"
"It's fine Elsa" Jack interrupted "I understand if it's personal."
"Thanks Jack" she said. He really was a nice guy. She knew now she wouldn't be able to ignore him again, because she was in love.
