Chapter 1 (Anna's POV)
"Beep, Beep, Beep!"
groaning in frustration I didn't even bothering to open my eyes as I slammed my hand on the snooze button and rolled over, wanting desperately to get back to sleep. I quickly realized that, that wasn't gonna happen and with more reluctance then anything, I sat up and rubbed my eyes suddenly remembering today was our very first day of highschool. Though still a bit groggy, I quickly got dressed and ran over to Elsa's room. nearly stumbling on my own two clumsy feet as I ran.
when I got to her door, I ignored the 'keep out' sign and knocked on her door "Elsa?" no answer so I tried again "Hey Elsa, are you up yet?"
Still nothing, I knew she would be mad if I walked in and woke her but I peeked in anyway. I wasn't the least bit surprised when I didn't see Elsa in her bed.
Instead she was sitting at her dresser fixing her hair into that ugly looking twist bun that made her look like a librarian. I don't know how many times I'd told her no boy would ever look twice at her because of it. That it sent off a 'Don't come near me vibe' her response was always a small shrug as if she couldn't care less. "Hey Elsa I..." it took a minute for me to realize she couldn't hear me because she had on her earphones.
bending over slightly I removed the one in her left ear and listened, she had on some of her favorite piano music. Music that I had tried listening to on several occasions just to see what the appeal was. It never failed to but me right to sleep.
after a minute she turned around to face me "You know, your hair would look so much better if you just let it go" I pointed out.
She gave me a funny look "Oh Anna don't be ridiculous I think it looks just fine this way."
She examined herself in the mirror again before she stood up. I looked over her appearance. she was wearing dusty lavender eye shadow, magenta lipstick, and a teal dress with black sleeves. Yup, totally gave off a 'dont come near be vibe' but I wasn't gonna open up that can of worms again so I just smiled. "C'mon lets go get some breakfast"
"Hang on, just a second"
She began carefully looking thru her dresser drawer and finally located what she had been searching for, it was the blue gloves she never left home without. I sighed in exasperation, I knew she had a thing about germs but hated the fact that she had to wear then literally everywhere she went.
"Now I'm ready" She said slipping them on "Race ya downstairs" She gave me a playful shove and I ran right behind her I cherished these sort of moments because they didn't happen to often Elsa was more reserved and didn't like to interact with anyone which was why she was deemed the 'Ice Queen' in middle school, no one wanted to hang out with her because of how cold and mean she always acted around everybody including my ex freind Rapunzel.
"I'm gonna get you!" I called.
I reached for her but she managed to avoid me the only thing I got was her left glove, she immediately froze in her tracks when I pulled it.
realizing my mistake I tried to apologize but she just grabbed the glove and quickly put it back on.
"Anna, Elsa what's keeping you guys your gonna miss your bus!" My Mother shouted from downstairs. I looked away as Elsa spoke.
"C'mon we don't wanna be late..."
"Yeah, Ok..." I muttered.
The ride to school was silent except for the boy behind us who kept pulling stupid little pranks on us, the last straw was when he threw a spider on my lap I was freaking out because I thought it was real until Elsa picked it up and showed me it was plastic, she turned around towards the boy who was laughing his head off "Seriously are you 10 years old or something!?"
She threw it back at him, and scolded him some more commenting how he should grow up, he grew defensive then "Hey it was just a joke chill out"
"Oh that's very funny mister trickster..."
"My Names Jackson Frost but everyone just calls me Jack"
"I don't care," Elsa replied coldly "But it would serve you well to leave me AND my sister be. Now thats all I have to say on the matter, I'm not gonna waste any more of my time on you"
Elsa turned around, ignoring his nasty remarks.
"Els, that was a little harsh it really WAS just a joke he didn't mean any harm by it"
She turned her wrath on me then "Anna, who's side are you on?"
"Well, yours but..."
She crossed her arms and turned away from me, "Oh I'm so sure."
my mouth flew open "Its true" I said trying to defend myself but she wasn't listening. "Elsa please, talk to me" I begged putting my hand on her shoulder but she shrugged me away.
Feeling defeated I didn't push her anymore I stayed slumped in my seat until we'd finally arrived at school. we were one of the last two to get off the bus. Having calmed down slightly, she looked over at me "You ready?" she asked.
I nodded "as Ready as I'll ever be."
"Lets make this the best year ever"
(Elsa's POV)
"Lets see A4...B4...C5..."
maneuvering my way thru the crowd of students, I ignored some of their idiot remarks and focused my attention on paper in my hands. I hated the hustle and bustle that always came from the first day in school, I just prayed to the gods that I was able to get to my first class without incident.
Yeah no such luck, I was so busy looking up at the numbers hanging over the top of each and every classroom that I forgot to watch where I was going.
Next thing I know I hit something hard and find myself careening backwards and straight onto my ass. My cheeks flushing with embarrassment as several eyes look over at me and snicker. The boy who's back I'd hit looks down at me in surprise and I mentally hit myself.
You have got to be freaking kidding me.
"You again!" I suddenly blurt, the boy from earlier. Jack I think his name was gives me a somewhat amused look but holds out his hand for me "Hey snowflake, wow today is not your day is it?"
"I'm quite capable of getting myself up thank you very much" I couldn't help but hiss as I slapped his hand away. He lifted them up in defense. "Ok, sorry..."
I stood up and brushed myself off trying to regain my composer "Excuse me I have to go" I said quickly. Rather, a little too quickly.
I walked off in the other direction ignoring his snide comment that involved a sarcastic 'your welcome' the sooner I got away from him the better. Luckily I'd remembered to bring my gloves. I could feel the ice forming on my fists. "Shit" I'd been pretty good about controlling my powers up until now and that boy seemed to be what was causing me to lose control.
by the time half the school day was over I was overwhelmed with school assignments most of the work was from my Algebra class, my teacher Mr. weaslton was a real creep who seemed to take joy in making everyone miserable.
I was already paying for my lunch I heard someone call my name, flinching back I couldn't help but roll my eyes. who else could it be but my overfriendly sister Anna.
"Elsa, Yoo-hoo over here!"
I begrudgingly grabbed my lunch tray and made my way over to the back where she was sitting. The day wasn't even over yet and already she'd made two new friends.
The girl had long, wild, curly, red hair, and was wearing a dark teal dress it seemed to be made of cotton, the boy next to her was bone thin and pretty much average looking. He brown hair, brown eyes and didn't seem to be very talkative. Not that I cared.
sighing I sat down next to my sister not really intrested in introductions but I knew she would do it anway so I listened as she introduced the girl and the boy.
"Elsa, I would like you to Meet Merida"
"Nice to meet ya" The girl chimed before stuffing a small ravioli in her mouth which made me wrinkle my nose in disgust. If she knew half the crap that went into those I highly doubt she'd be shoveling the damn stuff in her mouth as if she hadn't eaten in days.
"And this is Hiccup" Anna continued, gesturing towards the boy.
Hiccup looked up for a second and nodded his head he seemed more interested in playing with the mashed potato's on his plate but I was actually fine with that.
Anna began to chat away about random things, her two friends just nodded and added their own sort of commentary to what she was saying, I couldn't really be bothered with my sisters ideal chatter so I took out my algebra book and began going thru it until Anna tapped my shoulder.
I looked up, she was smiling from ear to ear "What?" I asked.
"I was just telling Merida and Hiccup about your amazing singing skills."
"So is it true?" Big surprise. Merida stopped eating long enough to look at me "Is your singing voice as beautiful as Anna says it is?"
I raised an eyebrow and shook my head "Not really, I consider myself an average singer at best."
"Elsa's just being modest" Anna interrupted "C'mon Els, sing something for them so they'll know I'm right"
"No" I interjected.
"C'mon please just one song"
"I said No Anna"
"Why not, you used to sing all the time..."
"exactly, I USED to" I shot back "Not anymore, now can we just drop the subject please?"
Seemingly defeated, Anna sat back down, I hated upsetting her but after my fathers car accident I had sworn to myself that I'd never sing again.
"Anna, I apologize..."
"No, no it's fine" Though I could clearly see it wasn't, before I could press the matter further the bell rang causing everyone to jump from their seats and file out "Shall we go?" I asked.
She didn't even make an effort to smile "Sure..." she stood up and left the cafeteria with Merida and hiccup trailing behind her while I headed off in the other direction. I had P.E.
Great, this should be interesting...
