Text from Tadashi,
So…would you rather eat poop smelling chocolates for a week or be trapped in a room full of unknown people for a week?

Text to Tadashi,
Definitely the chocolate, u know I can't handle people.

Text from Tadashi,
Haha thought so, but if it were me I'd stick to the room. The chocolate might actually be real poop you know :o

Text to Tadashi,
Ew! That totally changes things, can I answer again?

Text from Tadashi,
Nope, had your chance. Now Elsa Winters will have to eat poop for a week :D

I snorted while reading Tadashi's text. We used to have these impossible would you rather questions back in Arendelle High.

So, who is Tadashi you ask? Well Tadashi Himada is a senior of mine from my old school. We met back when I volunteered at the student council on my Freshman year, he was an active member then and he was the one who guided me during those times. We apparently got along quite well, big thanks to our similar tastes in books, movies and food. I would regularly hang out with him and his other friends during break time since people from my own year are either avoiding me or has weird feelings of displeasure against me, it's mostly the girls though and until now I still don't know why. Like seriously people, what did I ever do to you?

I like looking back at the old times like this, despite of the hate I received from my peers before, I felt welcomed and happy when I was with Tadashi and the others.

"You seem cheery," Rapunzel says as she sat down beside me at the couch.

It's just your regular Wednesday night at the dorms and we've just finished our dinner. Anna's at her bunk being a pig, I already told her not to lie down after eating but she's still channeling her inner Garfield, rolling around her bed and all. Merida's at her study table doing homework while I'm at the couch with my phone and Punzie just joined me, prolly just wanting to snoop around with my messages.

"Must be Tadashi, she's been texting him since last week!" Anna speaks for me.

Punzie scoots closer to me in the couch. I quickly draw away my phone to keep her from reading my messages. "Hey Punzie, ever heard of privacy?"

She giggles and puts her arm around me, "oh come on Els, I'm just curious about this mysterious boy you've been texting."

"Speaking of boys," Merida leans from her table to face us, "is it just me or has Frost stopped his philandering with different girls these days."

Well that was a quick change of topic.

"It's not just you, I noticed it too," Punzie concurs.

Anna pops up from her bed and leans on the rails, "that's because he's been Elsa with 24/7 these days!" She giggles, "am I right or am I right sis?"

I put down my phone and let out a big sigh. "That's true." After everything that happened two weeks ago, with Tooth and all that, he's been strangely attached to me. He's been constantly following me around like a lost puppy wherever I go. It's kinda getting a bit annoying you see and he keeps on inviting me to go watch him at his after school practices in whatever sport he's included in. I actually only went with him one time and made tons of excuses for the other times. I don't like lying but it's just getting suffocating you know? We have classes together the whole day and he expects me to be with him with whatever else he does too? Seriously, can't a girl get some space?

"Have you realized that Jack's fans have been giving you annoyed looks ever since you guys started hanging out more?" Punzie says.

"They have?"

"Yup," Merida agrees with clicking her lips on the last letter. "Better hold on to your hair Els, those girls might come for your hair anytime soon!" she teases mimicking a clawing girl with an inaudible 'rawr' at me.

I start to hold my hair, "M-my hair?"

"She's right Els, his fans are no joke, trust me," Punzie giggles.

I start to imagine girls pulling my hair telling me to stay away from Jack Frost. I shiver at the thought of it. "Man that's scary."

"But come to think of it though, you two would make a pretty cute couple sis," Anna says.

"Ha-ha not in a million years Anna, I wouldn't want my hair to get pulled out by girls just because of Frost, nope not a chance!" I hold my hair closer to my face.

"But you would consider it ey, if there were no mad women after Frost?" Merida teases again.

"And that's coming from the girl who warned me about that guy being a flirty ass a few months ago," I sneer at her.

Merida just shrugs off my retort, "I'm just saying Els, he has been laying off his old habits these days."

I plop back at the couch and groan, "I just can't imagine it though."

"I can," Punzie says.

"I can too!" Anna agrees.

Seriously sometimes I think Punzie and Anna are the siblings, they share the same brain cells when it comes to these things.

We all got back to what we were doing leaving the Frost related topic at that.

"Hey uhm, is this book one any of yours? I don't remember having this," Merida says after a while, showing us the To Kill a Mocking Bird book from her table. "Must belong to either of you three I sorta brought it with me in by accident."

Wait I borrowed a To Kill a Mocking Bird book from the library last week!

"I think that's mine, well more like my borrowed book from the library."

Merida immediately tosses it to me. I awkwardly caught it, almost falling from the couch. "Really Mer? You have perfectly fine legs, couldn't you have just walked here and gave it to me like how normal people would?"

"You caught it so no problem here," she sneers.

I roll my eyes and I open the book to check the borrowing card. "Oh my god! This is due today!" I jolt up from the couch.

I quickly got a pair of pants from the closet and change from my pajamas. "I have to quickly return this to the library tonight, I'll be back in a while guys," I say putting on a jacket over my shirt.

"Be sure to be back quickly Els, you only have about 30 minutes before curfew," Punzie reminds me.

"Yeah sure, be back in a jiffy."

I didn't know how I arrived at the library as fast as I did, but I did. I got to return the book without any payoff, good thing Merida found it 'cuz I have totally forgotten about this.

Just as I got out from the library, I suddenly felt drops of water fall from the sky.

What's this?

From a few drops, more and more drops kept falling and soon it was raining, heavily might I add. I started to run, I had too. I had only a few minutes left before curfew and I wouldn't want to be locked out from the dorms just because of some rain right? I mean this is just rain, how bad can it be?

I spoke too soon.

I woke up the morning after with a clogged nose and an insane headache. Honestly though, I'm not really that good with rains. I catch a cold easily just by getting slightly damped by it. And last night was far from slightly damp, I was drenched! My roommates were laughing at the slight of my soaked self, I looked like a chicken caught in the rain, which I was, a soaked platinum blonde chicken.

I was sneezing here and there on the way to class. Anna told me to stay in bed for the day, but I told her I am still able to go to class. I don't feel that bad, really.

Text from Tadashi,
You should've just stayed in bed, that cold might get worse Els :o

Text to Tadashi,
Nah am good. Thank you though :D

I was sniffling as I sent my message.

"Someone's busy with their phone early in the morning," Jack says as he takes a seat. "Morning Princess!"

I close my phone and put it back inside my bag. "I'm just texting a friend," I say with a nasally voice.

"Whoa you sound sick Princess you shouldn't have gone to class today."

"Ha! You're the 3rd person today to say that, but I'm fine Frost."

"Are you sure? 'Cuz the last time you said you were fine, you blacked out and fainted."

I sniffle again. "That's not gonna happen Frost, I assure you I'm f— Achoo!"

Nice Elsa you just sneezed at freaking Jack Frost's face!

I quickly grab a tissue from my bag and wipe Jack's face. "Sorry 'bout that Frost."

He grabs my hand stopping me from wiping his face and he held his free hand onto my forehead. I slap away his hand in my surprise. Okay that was mean of me. "W-what are you doing Frost!?"

"I was just checking if you have a fever," he says, his eyes looking at me worriedly. "You're a bit feverish Princess, are you su—

"I'm fine Frost, Geez!" I say my voice slightly higher than normal. "Can you just stop talking, you're starting to get on my nerves."

Fun Fact when I get sick, I tend to be cranky, irritable, and I speak a lot of rubbish. Fun right? Not really.

God Elsa, the dude's just worrying about you. You having a cold doesn't mean you gotta actually be cold. Come on apologize!

"Just leave me be Frost, I'm fine." So much for apologizing.

"As you wish Princess."

And with that Frost was quiet until the class ended; he remained quiet the whole day actually. And I conclude, I am a bitch with a cold and I singlehandedly made an innocent dude zip his mouth when he was only worrying. How nice. It's like the Tooth drama all over again only this time I'm the jerk who pushes the person who's just worrying, way to eat your world Elsa!

After class I remained in the classroom again and let the others leave before me. My friends all had prior engagements after classes today and Jack was still not talking so I'm on my own today, hurrah.

We have homework about this poem for World Lit due tomorrow so I headed for the library to look for the said poem. My head was still pounding as I was walking and I swear I felt sudden chills. Has it been this cold lately or is it just me?

Nah, must be my imagination. The cold has never bothered me anyway.

I quickly found the book with the poem The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. Ha! The poet has the same last name as Jack. I frown when I remembered Jack. I was unnecessarily mean to him today and I didn't even apologize for it.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
To where they ended, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

I start to read the poem.

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And posing perhaps the greater test,
Because it was narrow and wanted wear,
Rising so steeply—

I yawn before I could finish the line. I feel my eyelids getting heavier and my splitting headache slowly gaining momentum. I start to run my fingers to my temple in the hopes of relieving the pain.

Not working at all.

I whimper and drop my head on the open book.

Just as I was planning on closing my eyes, I feel a sight cold tap on my head and I jerk up from the cold tingle. I see Jack, smiling softly at me.

"Hey," he says.

My eye narrow down at him, "what are you doing here?" Again, that's mean Elsa stop it!

He just gives me a grin and says, "I'll take that as a 'Hey Jack!'"

He goes on to get something from his backpack and takes out a bottle of water and a… medicine?

"Drink this Princess, this will make you feel a bit lighter after a while. You really don't look well right now." He says, "and please don't say no or I'll personally shove it up your mouth."

Yikes!

I obediently did so.

"You can rest here for a while, I would've recommended for you to go back to your dorm and rest but it just started to rain outside so it's safer if you stay here for a while," he says, "I'm sure Sandy wouldn't mind." He looks at our librarian, Sandy, and gives him a thumbs up.

Sandy is one of the nicest librarians I've ever encountered, he's this tiny man with spiky blonde hair and he just has this friendly easy going face which matches his personality. He doesn't talk much but what I really like about him is that he's not that strict. Hence, sleeping is not really prohibited here as long as you don't disturb other students.

I couldn't say anything and just nod at him. Well that's for the better I guess or I'll just say words I don't mean to him again.

I proceed to lay my head down on the table under my crossed hands. I fell asleep immediately as I did.

I see Tadashi together with our old friends Honey Lemon, Gogo, Wasabi and Fred sitting around a lunch table. They are waving at me, all telling me to come join them.

I look down and I see that I'm holding my lunch tray. "Ah, lunch time I see."

I look back up and smile at my old friends huddled together. I start to walk towards them.

"Where are you going Princess?" I hear someone say from my back.

I look back and I see Jack grinning at me. He was with our other friends Punzie, Flynn, Merida and Hiccup. "We're having lunch, where do you think you're going?"

In that moment I feel quite overwhelmed. At one table is my old friends and at another is the friends I have now, both asking me to join them. My feet froze as I am unable to decide where to go to.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
To where they ended, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

The poem… Are you telling me this is a choice that I have to make?

Just as I was deep in my sleep I feel a cold touch on my forehead. It lingers there for a while and then it disappeared. And then I felt the cold touching my lips, as if a snowflake fell on my lips from the first drop of snow in winter. As fast as it touched me, it quickly melts away.

I slowly open my eyes to see where this coldness is coming from. My vision was blurry but I can see a figure in front of me, piercing blue eyes, snow white hair—"Jack?" I muffle.

I can see him smile and I feel his hands run through my hair, brushing it, lulling me back to sleep. "Sleep some more Princess, you're still blazing hot."

His voice was soothing and his touch was cold yet calming. I close my eyes once again, like there was any difference though. All I was seeing was blurry things.

I grab the hand running through my hair and lightly squeeze it. "Don't leave okay? Stay here with me Frost." I manage to muffle again.

"I'm always here Princess."

A nonchalant smile flashes on my face and I drift back to my dream.

I had the same dream again…

I remain at the place I stood in between the two lunch table. The setting is the same and the people present are the same. This time though I had more certainty in me. This time I definitely know where I want to go. I feel like I was floating as I headed to the table that I wanted to sit with.

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And posing perhaps the greater test,
Because it was narrow and wanted wear,
Rising so steeply into thinning air
That a man would struggle just to rest,

While the other offered room to play
Or stand at ease along the track.
I took the lonelier road that day,
And knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one that dared me to try,
And that has made all the difference.

The poem talked about a man having to choose between two roads one being which many are opting to go to and the other less traveled by. Although he made his decision, there was a hint at the end of the poem that the man had regretted his. It's ironic in a way; but I think whether he takes the other road he would've regretted it either way.

I chose the people I felt made me feel more myself that I had ever have. Unlike the man in the poem, I don't think I will regret my decision in the end. This is different I know, but different isn't always bad.

And with a certain person, I am sure. I wouldn't have chosen any other way.

I open my eyes again and I see Jack beside me, reading the book I had a while ago. My hand still holding his but he didn't seem bothered about it. He looked engrossed by his reading and I just remain staring at him.

Jack Frost can also look this serene and serious too huh?

I keep on smiling like a fool as I studied his face. His expression, the little glint on his deep blue eyes, the coldness in his hands— wait a second… Why the hell am I still holding his fucking hand!

I jolt up in my realization, releasing my grip from his hand, startling him. "I-uhh," I tug a strand of loose hair from my face behind my ear.

He closes the book and looks at me. "I presume you're feeling better now?" he gives me one of his precious warm smiles. He proceeds to put his hand on my forehead again. "Well your fever sure has cooled down a bit."

That cold touch earlier on my forehead was his hand checking my temperature huh. But what about… I unconsciously touch my lips.

"D-did it perhaps snow here while I slept?"

He looked rather perplexed with my question and ended up bursting into laughter. "Are you sure you don't want to sleep some more Princess? You seem to still be dreaming."

"I-uh, no, yeah I-I think it's the medicine you know making me say these weird stuffs," I feel my cheeks flushing.

Then what the hell touched my lips earlier? Ice cream? Was that another dream?

He leans closer to me and narrows his eyes, "are you sure? You look beet red again?" he asks and proceeds to put his hand over my forehead, again, which made me flush even more. "Strange, your temperature isn't like earlier anymore though."

Jeezus freaking cheese pops Frost, the reason why I'm flushing is not my fever it's you dammit!

My stomach grumbles in the midst of my flustering. It caught me off guard and Jack as well since we got quiet for a while. Then Jack proceeds to laugh at my grumbling tummy. "You must be hungry huh?"

"Gee, Really? What makes you say that? Was it my embarrassingly loud stomach grumbling? Obviously Frost you didn't have to ask."

His eyes widen at my words, as did mine. I gasp and cover my mouth. Oh for fucks sake what the hell is wrong with me?

He scratches the back of his neck and says, "Sorry that was stupid of me."

"No that wasn't," I sigh and try to look him in the eyes. "I haven't been really nice to you today Frost. I want to say and blame it all on my fever but honestly," I take a deep breath before I continue. "These days you've been sticking way too much on me Frost and it's been bothering me quite a bit and your fans aren't that happy with that too and I guess with my fever I ended up being mean to you which was wrong of me."

"Oh," he looks down in disappointment, "I didn't know you felt that way Princess I'm—

"Shush!" I put my hand in front of his mouth. "I'm not done yet Frost, you can talk after," I take a deep breath, "where was I? Oh yes, today when you stopped talking to me it made me realize just how boring my day was. I never really hated hanging out with you, it just sorta scared me in a way. Hanging out with you has just made me feel all sorts of different things and I know now that different isn't always bad." I smile to him.

He takes my hand off his face so he could talk, "Sorry if I made you feel that way Princess, but if I ever make you feel uncomfortable again just let me know okay?"

We went quiet again as Frost went back to reading, I went on to stare at him again. "You are terribly handsome you know that right Frost?" Whoop, out it goes. My honesty is taking on a way different road!

"I-I mean that is what everybody else says too…" I stammer trying to save myself.

He just grins and says, "Well if it's coming from you, then I might have to believe it."

I raise an eyebrow at him, "now I'm just feeding your ego now aren't I?"

He shrugs aloofly and laughs. "My ego is already well fed Princess."

"You know I'm talking nonsense 'cuz I'm hungry right?"

"Whatever you say Princess," he laughs some more. "Let's go eat dinner Princess before you call me handsome again," he grins.

"Yes please!" I say and reach for my phone in my pocket. "I gotta text Anna first, she must be worried."

"I already told her don't worry."

"Oh you have? Thanks Frost."

"You're welcome Princess." He goes on to get my backpack, "I'll bring this for you."

I frown at him, "Frost I have a fever not paralyzed, I can bring my own backpack thank you very much." I proceed to try and grab my bag from him, he holds it up where the smaller me couldn't reach. Great. These are the times that I wish I was gifted with longer legs dammit!

"Okay I give, you can hold onto it," I growl.

He sneers and ruffles my hair where I just responded by my usual eye roll.

We ate dinner at my dorm's canteen as Jack wanted me to go rest after I had my dinner.

I was halfway to my meal when my phone vibrated from my pocket. I smile when I saw who the message was from.

Text from Tadashi,
Just saw a shooting star tonight and I wished that your cold would go away immediately :)

Text to Tadashi,
Aww, you shouldn't have used your shooting star wish for me Tadashi

"I have been meaning to ask who you've been texting with Princess, you've been quite invested in your phone these days."

I look up from my phone and I meet Jack's questioning eyes staring straight through me. I just shrug and say, "I told you, it's an old friend of mine."

"Must be some special friend, you keep on smiling and giggling whenever you're texting."

"You jealous Frost?" I tease him.

He just shrugs and drinks his water, "just curious."

As I finished my meal Jack takes me to my dorm room, while in the elevator I promptly remembered something. "Hey Frost, earlier at the library I had this dream…"

"Did you dream about me Princess?" He teases.

"Yeah…"

I could see a cocky smirk curling up his mouth, "and Punzie, Merida, Hiccup and Rider."

He fakes a hurt face, "aw and here I thought you're finally dreaming about me."

"I was, but it wasn't just you my old friends were there too."

"Oh? Was text boy there too?"

"Yeah, they were sitting in one lunch table while you guys were on another."

The elevator dings open and we got out from it and I continue, "Tadashi was calling me to go sit with them and you guys were too, it was like I was made to choose from you guys and my old friends."

"Ooh that's a hard choice Princess, kinda like that assignment we had, the road not taken, only it's not roads but rather lunch tables." He laughs at the thought of it.

"Exactly! But I did make my choice in the end. A rather perfect choice that is."

He raises an eyebrow again giving me a curious George smile, "which table did you choose?"

I stop walking when we reach my room, and turn on my heel to look at him and I smirk, "which did you think I chose?"

He crossed his arms and he thinks deeply.

I then grab my bag from him and open the door, "a penny for your thoughts Frost," I say as I head inside my room. "Goodnight Frost and thank you…for everything."

I see him smile before I close the door and I hear him say, "Goodnight Elsa."

I had a fluttering feeling in my stomach when he said my name.

Weird.

I ended up taking a day off the next day, Anna constantly nagged me to stay in bed and this time Punzie and Merida backed her up so I couldn't say no. She also bought me this medicine that made me drowsy as fuck, so I spent the whole day sleeping. Not how I imagined spending my day off but hey at least I felt my nose clearing up more. That medicine must have had one hell of a kick!

I was still a little woozy when I heard a knock on the door later that afternoon.

It was Jack. He came by to see how I've been and lend me notes on our lectures today. "You know you shouldn't have Frost, I could've just asked Punzie or Merida for their notes."

"Nah, I wanted to see you too Princess, my day wouldn't be complete without seeing you." He winks at me.

I just roll my eyes at him, "you flatter me Frost by please stop, it's making me nauseous," I say and I slump into my bed.

He places the notes at my study and proceeds to sit at the couch. He seemed agitated and he kept scratching the back of his neck.

I notice this and I prop my arm to support my head while in bed, "out with it Frost, what is the real reason why you're here?"

He shifted from his seat for a while then he starts talking. "So uhm remember yesterday when you were all sick in class?"

"Yeah, I vaguely remember that," I say sarcastically.

"Well since you seemed to be denying your sickliness I went to the clinic right after our afternoon classes…"

"You went to the clinic? So you…"

"I met Tooth," he was fiddling his fingers while he talked, "we talked and everything's fine I guess." He sighs heavily.

"Well if everything's fine then why do you sound like you're holding the whole world in your shoulders?"

"It's because she told me to go to her wedding next month."

"So? What's so bad about that?"

"Because, I'm not sure I can handle being in her wedding without doing anything stupid so…"

"So?" I say sounding more and more impatient at him dragging his words.

Why the heck can't he just go straight to the point?

"So I told her that I would only go if you go, so I'm asking you now, will you go with me to Tooth's wedding?" He talks faster than normal.

I froze trying to fathom what he just said. "Hold on Frost, you said what now?"

He takes a deep breath before he repeats, "I said will you go to Tooth's wedding with me?"

I blink. And blink again and again.

"Hey come on Princess say something," he says leaning closer to me. "Please come with me, you're the only one who'll be able to stop me from doing anything stupid while there." He looks at me with his pleading face, "Please Elsa."

Hah! He's using the call her by her name card and with that face too. Damn, Frost really knows how to push me buttons.

I get up from my bed to get water and after drinking a glass I say, "Fine, I already owe you a lot, it's the least I could do."

He beams and jolts up from the couch, and to my surprise engulfs me to a hug. "Thank you Princess!"

I lightly tap his back. "Anytime Frost," I say.

This is our 2nd time hugging right? But who's counting, I surely am not! I ponder.

He finally releases me and I clearly see his wide grin which in turn made me smile too.

"So now that the cat's out of the bag, I'll take my leave now," he says grabbing his backpack from the couch.

So he was just here to tell me that huh? That's disappointing…Wait what? Why would that be disappointing? Oh shut up brain Elsa!

He ruffles my hair before he walks to the door. "You get better now Princess so you can get back to class, I miss having my seatmate," he says smiling sheepishly at me.

I unconsciously played with the end of my hair that draped over my chest, twisting it around my fingers. Holy cheese whiz that was so cute! "Yeah I will, thanks Frost," I manage to say amidst flustering mind.

As I see him leave there it was again, that weird feeling in my stomach.

Gotta text Anna to bring me food when she gets home, my tummy is being weird again.
