The cafeteria of Disworks High was like any other. There were tables for the popular kids, in the middles, and the not populars, subdivided by grades.
Elsa could have the pick of any table, she had been invited to many popular cliques more than once, but she chose not to. Instead she sat with Kristoff, and a couple of his friends.
Anna usually sat with them. Elsa thought as she entered the cafeteria. But she could clearly see her strawberry blonde sister's braids in between Hans and Merida. And to make matters worse, she was sitting at Jack's table.
Anna had never been invited to that table, and Elsa figured it was down to Hans. She wondered what kind of new kid got himself a seat at the most popular kids table, on day one, but didn't ponder the situation.
Collecting a lunch tray and filling it with some partially edible foods, she returned to her original table.
"Aren't you going to sit down?" Kristoff asked when Elsa glanced back in Anna's direction.
"In minute... I've got something to do first."
Jackson Overland sat on the edge of the bench of the table, pretending to be interested in whatever sandwich man was saying.
He thought back to break, in between classes, where the red headed sophomore had cornered him and Aster, and dropped some not so discreet hints about being new and having nowhere to sit, blah blah.
And then Aster had to invite good ol' Hans here! To Jack's table! Who by the way, didn't trust the guy as far as he could throw him.
Anyway, Hans was busy rambling on about one of his twelve brothers, captivating everyone but the brown haired junior, when the hairs on Jack's back stood up.
'Queen Elsa' glided past, her eyes seeking out her sister. Jack had noticed both Anna and Elsa's bad moods, and leaned forward interested, the Winter sisters were two peas in a pod, so them fighting was not something he wanted to miss.
And he wasn't the only one. Sandy Mann, the class clown, (aside from Jack, sat at his table with the rest of his artistic friends, including Rapunzel and Toothina, the sweetest girl in school. Sandy was the nosy kid with the biggest mouth, that seemed to always be working. Now he pointed out Elsa to his friends, and prepared for what might come next.
"Anna," The elder sister began, halting Han's description of his brothers and their one on one wrestle with a pig.
Anna looked coldly at her sister, pausing her chewing.
Elsa looked slightly surprised at her sister's reaction, and Jack was to. In the background, Sandy acted as a sports commentator, using a ketchup bottle as a microphone.
"Yes Elsa?"
"Can we talk...alone?"
"Can it wait? Your Royal Highness?" Was the cutting reply.Elsa refused to back down, ignoring the rest of the dead silent jocks and cheerleaders at the table, she said. "Anna i want to.. "
"Say sorry?" Anna interrupted, eyes flashing dangerously. "Maybe you should think twice before you judge people, Elsa. Okay, you don't have to hate everyone I talk to!"
Hans looked between the two sisters with an expression Jack couldn't fully understand, and he bet his life that Hans was who the sisters were now bickering about.
Elsa's own eyes narrowed. "Anna, just come with me..."
"No!" Anna's voice carried across the cafeteria, but neither sister cared that almost everyone was staring at their little disagreement.
Jack decided now was the time to intervene.
"Relax girls." He drawled, interrupting the Winters. They both fixed their angry gazes upon him, but he wasn't fazed. "Put away the claws, and you can continue your little catfight at h-"
"Stay out of this Overland." Elsa growled, planting her hands on the edge of the table, and tightening her hold on it. The room darkened and Jack glanced outside, at the gathering thunderclouds. Good thing he'd brought his umbrella.
"Anna." Astrid Hofferson said in a surprisingly calming tone. Jack realised that they were all rather unnerved by Anna and Elsa's mood changes. Anna was forever happy and sweet, even though she had a bad streak lately, and Elsa rarely lost her cool in front of anybody.
"Leave me alone, Astrid." Anna snapped. "I for one am sick and tired of Elsa ruling my life and telling me what to do!"
"I don't!" Elsa countered, voice soft and dangerous. "I am only trying to help you..."
"I don't want it." Anna interrupted. "Thank you very much."
Elsa looked startled, flinching away at Anna's harsh words. Then, with a strange look on her face, she started to say something, only for it to be drowned out, by a rumbling sound. The ground shook, and students scattered and shrieked, some diving under tables while others stood shocked as if they didn't quiet now what to do.
Jack felt impact, and heard a deafeningly loud sound. He was tossed backwards, and his head smashed against a overturned table. Dizzy, he opened brown eyes a crack and saw a figure crouched nearby. Elsa.
She looked so vunrabale and helpless. Her hair had escaped it's bun and was tumbling down her shoulders, and her blue eyes searched for someone, probably Anna. but instead, terrified blue eyes caught pained brown ones, and she shouted something inaudible.
With painful slowness, Elsa crawled over until she was right in front of him, Jack noticed a cut on her cheeck, and blood dripping down her hand, but he couldn't help thinking she looked beautiful.
She said something, her eyes fearful, but after the explosion, Jack's ears were ringing so he couldn't hear a word.
Black dots blurred his vision, and his head slumped forward on to her lap. That was the last thing he remembered before it all went black.
...-i-...
Elsa rubbed her eyes, feeling numb. Her parents were in the kitchen, talking in hushed tones, while Elsa sat shivering on the couch with her favourite fluffy baby blue blanket curled around her.
The kitchen door opened and Induna and Agnarr sat down on the couch oppisite her. Gerta, the domestic, and Elsa and Anna's nanny from when thet had been children, hurried in with some if her famous choc chip cookies, which she placed on the table in between them.
After she had left, Induna asked. "How are you El?" Elsa shuddered, unwanted memories of the unexplained and unexpected explosion the day before, rushing back with a vengence.
"Have you heard from the hospital?" Elsa croaked, her voice raw from crying.
Agnarr nodded. "They say Anna got the some of the worst injuries, with two broken ribs and a few burns."
"I should have protected her!" Elsa burst out.
"Honey!" Induna said shocked, "No one is expecting you to keep looking out for her,"
"But what if she doesn't wake up? What if she never comes back, and the last thing we did is fight!? And...and it's all my fault...just like last time."
"Last time wasn't your fault, Elsa." Agnarr corrected her sternly, "Your quick thinking saved her all that time ago."
"My dumb powers are the reason she was hurt." Elsa glanced down at her hands in dismay,
"What were you fighting about?" Induna asked.
"Hans." Elsa spat out.
"The redhead boy?" her father recalled. "You know, when they dug them out of the wreckage, he had managed to sheild Anna from the worst of the damage."
Elsa grinded her teeth together as she crunched on the cookie. Anna didn't need Hans Siles to be her knight in shining amour. She had Elsa. The Winter sisters had always been there for each other and now Hans was going to RUIN IT ALL!
"Besides Elsa," Her father continued unaware of her mood change, "The docters say that Anna's awake and okay." Elsa gave a relived smile, until her mother added.
"Elsa, we also recieved news that there was ice, around you and the Overland child."
Elsa stiffened, glancing down at her hands.
"Dr. Pabbie is going to come and see what he can do. Okay?"
Elsa nodded misrabely, and watched her parents leave. Dr. Pabbie was Kristoff's great great grandfather, who claimed that his earth friendly and herbal concoctions were the reason for his 110 years of life. That was how she and Kristoff had become friends all those years ago, but not even he knew of the powers. She threw herself backwards on the couch, blowing air out her mouth, to flick away an annoying piece of blonde hair.
As she closed her eyes, she was immediately bombarded with the memories of yesterday.
But one reaccuring figure was Jackson Overland. The reason for this was the thing he had said before passing out on his lap. Emma.
Who was Emma? Elsa hadn't a single clue, because she knew little about the boy. Heck, she knew little about boys! Period.
Groaning as she felt a headache come on, Elsa rolled over onto her side, and fell into a restess sleep.

One Month Later
The Winter Sisters marched through the hallways, well Anna limped slightly, because her injuries were not fully healed. They were besties again, just like things should be, in Elsa opinion, until...
"Anna!" Hans broke through the crowds and made his way over to hs girlfriend. Ignoring Elsa's existance entirely, he grabbed Anna around her waist and spun her around in the air...in the midde of the school hallways.
Elsa resisted the urged to roll her eyes as Hans lowered a giggling dizzy mess of her sister to the ground and then crushed her into a hug, whispering sweet nothings in her ear.
Behind her, someone who was probably Rapunzal, gave a lovesick sigh, as if seeing the couple reunited was a nice thing to watch. While she wanted to leave, Elsa forced herself to remain in spot so that she could say hello and 'give Hans a chance' like her parents and Anna wanted her to.
After an eternity, Hans released Anna, and brushed a stray peice of strawberry blonde hair behind her ear, kissing her nose and returning to Elsa.
"Hello Hans." Elsa said in a nuetural voice, hiding her emotions so well, that anyone, if not corrected beforehand might think that this was their first encounter.
"Elsa," Hans dipped his head, "How are you?"
"Quiet well, quiet well." Elsa answered civilly, clasping both hands. "Are your injuries healing?"
"More or less." Hans replied. "Mom begged me to stay home longer, but nothing could keep me away from this little angle."
He beamed at Anna who blushed and shoved him slighty. Elsa wondered how anyone could be so sickeningly false/fake/phoney!!!
But before she could say something, or stage an accident involving ice and Hans, movement behind the two caught her attention.
Glancing over Hans' shoulder, she saw Aster chasing after Jack, who slipped, and connected with a locker. He was unharmed, but his red cap that he had jammed on his head, flew off in slow motion, revealing a shock of white hair.
