The last chapter, we ended with Hans entering Elsa's Lit. class.
Why was he there? Keep reading to find out!
I was speechless.
Why was Hans here? I looked at Jack hoping he would know when I turned to face him
I could tell he had no idea what was going on.
"As you all probably know my name is Hans Westergaard," Hans said as he wrote his name on the board.
"I will be your substitute teacher today." He said, looking directly at me with a smile.
Later,
"Don't forget to check the school website for your next book!" Hans announced as everyone left.
"Hey, Jack, go ahead. I'll catch up with you later" I said carrying my bag over my shoulder.
Jack looked at me, glanced at Hans and back to me and said, "Yeah, okay."
I walked to Hans, who was arranging books.
I stood in front of him and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Westergaard" holding on to the strap of my bag, "I have a question about today's class"
Hans looked up and smiled warmly as he saw me and said, "What is it, Ms. Elsa?"
"I was just thinking," I continued as I walked next to him, "What are you doing here?"
"Oh, weren't you paying attention at the beginning?" He stood up from his seat, "I'm your substitute for today."
"I understand that my dangerously good looks are distracting, but I would really appreciate it if you listened to what I teach" He continued with a smirk.
"Ha. Ha." I laughed sarcastically, "Seriously Hans, why are you here?"
"Well," Hans said, leaning on his desk, "Since I am no longer a Highschool student, I can't study here. Well, this section of the school."
"I could've started college, but Principal North said I could add a few years of experienced activities to my resume. So, I thought 'why not?' and went for a teacher's assistant. Which in this case, be a sub." He finished.
"Teacher's assistant huh?" I said, leaning next to him, "was that the only option?"
"No." He replied, "But it was the only option where I can get close to you"
"And I just look great in a suit vest" He said, pushing his fingers through his hair.
I laughed softly and shook my head.
After my conversation with Hans, I went to my next class. Science.
Once again, I sat next to Jack.
The seats in most of our classes are in a 'first come first serve' basis.
Not Science class.
In Science class whoever you sit with and wherever you chose to sit on the first day, will be your seat for the rest of the school year.
"Good Morning, everyone!" Mr. Callaghan said as he set his briefcase on his desk.
"Open your books to page 36." He said and turned to the board.
"Hey, Snowflake," Jake whispered, "I forgot my book in my locker. Is it okay if we share yours?"
"Yeah" I replied and placed my book between us.
"Today, we are going to learn about liquid metal embrittlement. Also known as LME." Prof. Callaghan announced as he wrote it on the board.
At the other end of the room, Honey-lemon squealed with excitement.
An hour later,
"And remember to group yourselves and write a report about our lesson today." Professor Callaghan said as everyone left the room.
"And this is Elsa." Honey-lemon introduced, as I was putting my things in my bag.
"Hi" I replied, putting my hand out for a handshake.
"You must be the new guy from the student exchange program"
"Yeah, nice to meet you. My name is Tadashi. Tadashi Hamada" He replied, shaking my hand.
"Cool name," Jack said, standing next to me, "My name's Jack Frost. Welcome to (Name of school) Tadashi."
"Thank you," Tadashi replied.
"Hey, Elsa, would you like to partner up with me and Tadashi for today's homework?"
Honey-lemon asked.
"Yeah, that'll be cool," I replied with a smile.
"Well, I'd love to stay and chat but I have Physed with Bunnymund," I replied, swinging my bag across my shoulder. "Nice meeting you, Tadashi! I'll text you the details later Honey. Bye!" I waved goodbye and hurried to the gym.
"Today, we're running tracks," Bunnymund announced as he paced back and forth.
"But, there's a twist to today's class" He continued, "You're going to have to run fast enough to beat… me" He said, pointing at himself with his thumb and wiggled his nose.
The whole class started to get ready to run.
"Ready… Steady… Go!" Yelled Anna, holding a green flag by the side of the track.
First runners were Rapunzel, Go-Go, and Bunnymund.
Rapunzel was falling behind while Go-go was nearly as fast as Bunnymund.
Later, it was my turn.
Luckily the person before me ran fast enough, I had a chance to catch up with Bunnymund.
Half-way through the track, I caught up with him.
"G'day, coach" I smiled as I ran next to him.
"You little ripper!" He exclaimed with a smile,
The class saw me being neck and neck with Bunnymund and started to cheer.
"But can you really out-run me?" He smirked, and as soon as he ended his question, Bunnymund left with a sprint.
I looked in front and out of no-where, Bunnymund slipped and fell to the ground.
"Coach!" I exclaimed and ran towards him.
Bunnymund got up and looked around as he wiggled his nose. "She's here," He said.
"Coach?" I asked.
"What're you still doing here? Have you forgotten that we were having a race?" He replied.
"Go on, run!" He exclaimed.
Just then I saw Moana run past me.
I quickly started to run again and caught up with her.
I saw the finish line right in front of me and gave it my all.
I won!
More importantly, I beat Bunnymund!
Everyone cheered and congratulated me.
"So coach," I said to Bunnymund who was walking towards us, "since someone *did* beat you, what happens now?"
"I didn't think anyone would beat me, but since you did," he paused and said, "Pizza's on me"
Everyone cheered once again.
A few hours later; below a tree in the field,
"And so, he bought us pizzas," I said looking at Hans, who was listening attentively.
"Oh, you should've seen Bunnymund when he saw the bill" I laughed
Hans laughed along and looked at me with a smile.
I noticed the way he was looking at me and started to blush.
"...what?" I asked nervously, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"You look really happy" He replied
"I am happy silly," I said
"Yeah, but I never saw you smile like that before"
"I wish I could see more of that every day" He continued.
Just then Hans' phone rang.
He glanced at his phone and put it down.
"Aren't you going to get that?" I asked
"No" He replied
"Who is it?" I asked again
"My 3rd brother"
"Well, didn't you say you wanted to be closer to your brothers?"
"Yeah, I did. But my brothers have been calling me to do something I don't want to." He said
"It's nothing" He continued "I'll call them back later."
"...okay," I said.
"So, I wanted to tell you something," Hans said, holding my hands
"Oh, that's right! You brought me here to talk to me but I've been talking about myself. Sorry, what were you going to say?" I replied
Hans chuckled and said, "It's alright, I like listening to you talking." He cleared his throat and said, "Um, so… like I said, I'm no longer a high school student here."
"Yeah…" I replied, unsure of what he's going to say next.
"So, I can't stay at the dorms anymore." He continued, "But, I have my own place," He said
"Wait, what?" I said confused
"Yeah, I got my own place." He repeated.
"Isn't that a good thing?" I asked
"I guess so" He replied
"Then why did you say it as if it was bad news?" I replied
"To throw you off," He said playfully.
Boys. I don't get them at all.
I looked at Hans with my brows raised and shook my head lightly.
"Is that it?" I asked
"Well, not exactly" He replied.
I looked at him with a 'what is it?' look on my face,
"I have something more important to tell you," He said after taking a deep breath
"But I can't tell you. At least not here, not now."
"Come to this address at 7 P.M. and I'll tell you," He said, handing me a piece of paper.
The school bell rang and Hans said, "I gotta go, I may not be an actual teacher but I still have to be there for meetings. See you later" He kissed my cheek and left.
Well, that was odd.
What could he possibly have to tell me that he'd act like that?
I was curious yet nervous.
Around 6:30 I started to get ready.
After dressing up and doing my hair, I was looking for something to accessorize.
I saw two gift boxes.
A blue box from Jack and a green one from Hans.
I reached for the gift Hans gave me and looked at the bracelet inside.
As I was looking at the bracelet I heard a knock on my window.
Startled, I turned to the window and can you guess who I saw?
Jack Frost. The only guy who'd be odd enough to knock the window instead of the door like a normal human being.
"Jack!" I exclaimed and quickly hid both boxes.
I went to my window and opened it.
"Jack, for once, would you knock the door like a normal person?"
"You know how I don't do things that aren't fun Snowflake," He said as he walked in.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him
"Don't tell me you forgot?" He said sarcastically with his hand hovering over his mouth, "We had a group project today"
"Oh, I didn't forget. You just didn't read your messages" I replied, "I told Honey that I can't do it today and we re-scheduled"
"Wait, what?" Jack said, reaching for his phone.
I smirked and walked back to my vanity table and put on a simple necklace and earrings set.
"So, where are you going?" Jack asked
"I don't know actually" I replied
"You don't know where you're going?" He said with a confused and concerned look on his face.
"Well, I got the address but, I don't think I've been there before" I replied
Jack stayed quiet for a second and said, "Are you meeting him there?"
Him…
He could've said, Hans
I didn't say anything for a few seconds and just saw Jack's face through my mirror,
Then I looked back at me and said, "Yes" and put on my earring.
"Um, I'd better go. He may be waiting for me" I replied.
"Oh. Yeah. Okay" He said, "Well, I gotta go too. Kristoff might've sneaked in the reindeer in our room again. I need to make sure he's not staying on my bed" He continued and walked towards the window, "See you, Snowflake" and jumped to the tree.
7 P.M.
I've arrived at the location Hans asked me to.
I got out of my car and saw a house.
Did he invite me over to his place?
I walked towards the door and rang the bell.
Hans opened the door and said, "Elsa! You're here!"
"Yeah, you told me to come" I replied.
I looked at Hans and well…
His hair was a mess, he had flour on his cheeks and eyebrow, he was wearing a white button-up shirt that was unbuttoned half-way and covered in chocolate, he also had an apron on.
That was messy too.
"Um… Are you alright?" I asked him
"Huh?" He asked then looked down, "Oh, yeah. I'm fine"
"Come in!"
As I walked inside Hans offered me something to drink,
"No, I'm good, thank you" I replied.
"I'm just going to go freshen up, wait right here," He said and ran upstairs.
A few minutes later,
"Sorry, I wanted to bake you a cake but, it didn't go so well," Hans said as he walked towards me.
I sniffed the air and said, "Do you smell something burning?"
Hans' eyes grew big and he exclaimed, "The cake!" and ran to the kitchen.
I followed him and saw smoke coming from the oven.
Hans opened the oven door and as he was reaching for the cake pan I exclaimed, "Use the oven mitt!"
But it was too late, Hans grabbed the burning cake pan and exclaimed from pain.
"Hans!" I said, surprised and ran towards him.
I looked at his hand and saw a mild burn.
"Oh dear, we need to apply something to cool this burn," I said, concerned
I grabbed the nearest cloth and filled it with ice.
We moved to the couch and I massaged his hand with the cold cloth.
"I think we should leave the cooking to me" I replied with a smile.
"I think that's a good idea," Hans said smiling.
"So, what did you want to tell me?" I asked, looking at his injured hand.
"Oh, right…" He said
Hans took a deep breath and pulled away his hand from me.
"I have a secret." He continued and looked at me with a stern yet nervous face.
A secret? What could it be?
How would Elsa react to it?
