A new chapter pretty much everyday? Unheard of ! Also happy new year, it might be too early for some people but where I am it's already 2018.
Shoutout to that first guest reviewer you're a star.
Madame De Vil had been a real character in French class, almost cartoonish. After the test was over, Elsa studied her throughout the lesson.
She noticed that Belle was clearly her favourite despite Belle being deathly afraid of her. Madame De Vil also had a habit of picking on those who clearly didn't know the answer and preying on the submissive students, blatantly ignoring raised hands.
Before heading to her next class Elsa noticed her locker wasn't far from where she was now and thought it was a smart idea to check it out. She passed the numbers adjacent to her,
299...302...305...
"308," Elsa stopped.
As she moved to open her locker she noticed a boy staring at her. He had jet black hair, sunken eyes and pale skin. Spooked by his dark, intense gaze she jumped a little in her step.
He grinned, "Sorry, did I frighten you?"
Unsure, Elsa opened her mouth but no words came out.
"You don't like talking? Me neither, if you come with me we can still get to know each other a little better," he grinned.
A sarcastic voice drawled from behind Elsa, "Pitch...isn't there something more productive you could be doing than bothering a new student? Like...going to class?"
He snidely replied, "Megara."
The girl flipped her long, brown hair and leant against the wall of lockers. Her presence oozed confidence and had an air of mischief.
She smiled, a glint in her eye, "Run along."
Pitch scowled muttering incoherently under his breath. Megara addressed Elsa, "I waited for you outside the rink this morning."
Elsa asked, "You did?"
"I'm not a stalker, promise. I'm supposed to be your little tour buddy, guide, person, whatever."
"Oh, that makes sense. Sorry about that but I think I'll manage."
Megara coyly smiled, "Where do you have Math?"
She checked her piece of paper, "Top floor of the Rothenburg building."
Meg chuckled, "No, you don't. Printing error that never seems to be fixed. We're actually in the Calico building which is on the east side."
"Thanks."
"See, I guess I am useful after all. Come on, I'll show you the way," Megara smiled taking the lead.
Elsa caught up beside her. A silence ensued but Elsa oddly felt comfortable in her presence. She didn't feel pressure to come up with small talk which wasn't her forté either.
The pale boy, supposedly called Pitch, kept bugging her. He reminded her of that stupid Slenderman game that Anna had forced her to play once in the dark.
Elsa eventually asked, "So...what was his deal?"
Megara raised an eyebrow, "Who? Wait, you mean Pitch?"
"If that's his name."
"It's not but everyone calls him that. He despises his real name. Anyways, don't mind him too much. Sure, he's trouble but only if you're looking for it."
Elsa commented, "Noted."
Megara turned a corner, "We're here. Our teacher is Mr McDuck. Insanely good at Math, for some reason he decided to become a teacher at retirement. Also, he loves me because one time I let him explain the irrationality of the square root of 2 to me."
She swiftly opened the door and strolled in, "Morning, Mr McDuck."
A well-dressed man with a top hat covering his grey hair turned around and smiled, "Megara. Good to see you, please take a seat. And who might this young lady be?"
Megara turned back to Elsa, her face asking 'want to introduce yourself' and seeing Elsa's unresponsiveness, she replied, "This is Elsa Winters. She's new."
Mr McDuck nodded, "Alright. Sit down then we're going to be working with logarithms today."
Elsa watched Megara take an empty seat next to what was probably the bulkiest jock she had ever seen. He had strong features and auburn hair. Megara shot him a small smirk and Elsa noticed his face light up.
Before drawing too much attention to herself, she quickly sat down in an empty seat towards the back corner and stared straight ahead.

Lunch
Jack was sat at a round table with Rapunzel, Flynn, Merida, Astrid, And Hiccup.
Rapunzel said, "I haven't seen Elsa at all today but you guys would love her."
Jack asked, "Elsa? You mean the blonde chick with a braid?"
She nodded, "Oh yes! Have you talked to her?"
He shook his head, "No, but she's been in a few of my classes. She doesn't really say anything."
Rapunzel said, "Trust me, she's great."
Flynn asked, "Is she pretty?"
Rapunzel slapped his shoulder and Jack replied, "Gorgeous."
"Jealous?" Flynn smirked.
"No, there's much more to my cousin than her looks," Rapunzel explained.
Astrid suggested, "Maybe she's lost?"
Rapunzel shook her head, "Don't think so."
She noticed Megara walking across the cafeteria and called her over.
"Yes?"
Rapunzel said, "You've been helping Elsa, right?"
Megara nodded and Astrid asked, "Well, where is she?"
She reached over and took a bite out of Merida's apple, whom eyed her suspiciously. Megara then said, "In the library."
Astrid chuckled, "So, she's a total nerd?"
Hiccup frowned, "Hey, what's wrong with the library?"
Merida glared, "And give me back my apple."
Rolling her eyes, Megara threw the apple in Merida's direction. It almost hit her square in the face and Merida said, "Give not throw."
"You still caught it," Megara shrugged.
Rapunzel thanked Megara and then proceeded to put her head in the palm of her hands. Flynn rubbed her back, "Why so serious?"

Hockey Practice
"Overland! Get your ass out here right now!"
Jack quickly gathered his hockey stick and almost tumbled out of the locker room. He sat down at a bench and prepared to put his skates on.
He looks up and sees platinum blonde hair on the opposite side of the rink.
Elsa.
She was stretching by the looks of it. Jack looked on with intrigue as she stretched her leg high up parallel to her back.
He then felt two masses shove him from both sides.
One said, "Could you be any less obvious?"
"Imagine her in bed."
Jack frowned as he saw his best friend Flynn and team member Hans on either side. He muttered, "Shut up."
Flynn rolled his eyes, "Instead of checking her out you need to get your skates on."
Jack tied his last shoelace, "They are on."
Hans asked, "She's hot. Who even is she?"
Jack answered, "Elsa. New girl in our year and Rapunzel's cousin."
"So Anna's older sister?"
Flynn questioned, "Hans, why would you a senior even know who Anna, a freshman, is?"
Hans dismissed his question, "Moving on. We should get on the ice."
The rink had been split in two by bright orange barrier. The trio raced one another onto the ice and immediately joined their teammates in the warm up. Soon enough Jack even forgot Elsa was there.
The hall was filled with playful jeers and banter. The sound of the puck hitting the sides of the ice rink was like music to Jack's ears. He was on a roll speeding all around.
When he approached the orange barrier he glanced over to see Elsa seemingly float across. She effortlessly emulated grace and her face relaxed unlike when he saw her in the classroom. Elsa had taken a seat next to her in Math but hadn't even looked his way. Some guy called Owen tried to talk to her but she gave him quick and curt answers.
Yet here she was almost a completely different person. Almost playful, even.
"Overland, the puck!"
Jack quickly diverted his attention and shouted, "Got it!"

Practice was intense, by the end Jack was sweating and like his teammates went for a well deserved shower. Once he was done, he said goodbye to Flynn and Aster and made his way out of the locker room.
Jack was barely out of the door when he felt something hard bump into him. As he looked he noticed several books and files fall to the ground. Then a head of platinum blonde hair quickly attempting to gather everything.
"Whoa there," Jack said, glancing down at her scattered belongings, "I'll help you with that."
"Sorry about that. I'm in a bit of a rush," Elsa apologised.
Jack squatted down to her level thinking for a second then grinned, "You weren't even running."
Elsa looked bashfully trying to think of something to say as she filed away loose papers.
"Don't worry. We've all been there," Jack said handing her over a few books before standing up.
Internally Elsa berated herself. Seriously? She dropped her books in front of a guy. What a terrible cliché. He was cute, annoyingly so.
That's all he'd be. That's all he'd have to be. Elsa decided she had no time for romance because that would just be another distraction. All that was on her mind was getting straight A's and cementing her eventual comeback in Arendelle.
Jack introduced himself with a smile, "I'm Jack by the way."
Elsa smiled back, "Elsa."
"So I've heard. Is there anything else to you than 'new girl' and 'Punzie's cousin'?"
"She lets you call her that?"
Jack shrugged grinning, "Sometimes. Anyways your answer?"
"I...figure skate."
"I know that. I saw you. Or could you not recognise my dashing face under the helmet?"
Elsa blushed a little letting out a small laugh, "Um..."
Jack complimented, "You were amazing, by the way."
Elsa scrunched her nose slightly, "You really think so? I was quite rusty. I mean I definitely popped a few jumps here and there and my spins seemed lacking."
Jack chuckled, "From a humble skater like yours truly you were way better than I could ever dream of being."
She felt a smile creep on her face and held on a tad tighter to her books.
He smiled back, "Don't be too hard on yourself. As long as it makes you happy, right?"
"Er...yeah," Elsa replied, her face morphing into a pensive one.
Jack asked, "You still with me?"
Elsa side stepped and then averted her eyes, "I need to go. It was nice meeting you."
Jack gave her another smile, "Same here. I'll see you around then, Elsa."
Finally a Jack/Elsa conversation. Can you tell I'm bad at planning? Lol, bear with me I'm tryng my best (aka the minimum because I'm subparr :))))
Do I regret starting this? For the most part, yes.
Will I finish this? The likelihood of this happening is very high (atm, my answer might be different in a month's time or something)
