CHAPTER 7

So, there .. Hmm we're at the denial stage but let's just hope they past through that . Oh well! This is an elsanna fanfic so don't fret! Thanks for reading - :)

Several weeks passed, Anna kept her resolve by doing her best not to think of Elsa. Except her heart won't stop skipping a beat every time her gaze lands on her sister. But thankfully she had been doing a good job in holding onto her sanity and hadn't said or done anything that may bring up the topic again.

Anna didn't keep her time idle. She got a little attached to the bar and from then on she kept on going there, drinking, partying, making acquaintances and enjoying herself. It was better than staying at home and moping.

"Hey, hey, hey. Look who's enjoying herself," said Kristoff, teasing his bestfriend. "Had a change of heart? From a homebody now you're a party animal? Boy, I'm glad to see you going wild!"

Anna laughed and punched him on the chest. "At least I'm making acquaintances, unlike some other stinker who can't even say 'hi' to a girl."

"I don't want to hear that from someone 'popular' like you! Now I see the resemblance," said Kristoff resting his hand on his chin.

"Resemblance? What are you talking about?" Anna asked curiously.

"Use your brains, Miss Popular. I'm talking about you and your sister! You've got a little knack for being popular but not to the level of your sister," Kristoff said. He didn't mean any harm behind his words; he was just stating the truth and they both knew that. Anna had been quite popular at the bar, both boys and girls coming up to her and trying to ask her out, but to be compared to her sister? Elsa was more popular. She had everything going on for her, what with being Miss Perfect.

Anna suddenly felt the hair on the back of her neck stand up. She whipped her head from side to side until she caught the eye of a guy staring at her intensely from a corner of the bar.

The next day, as Anna opened her locker, a letter fell out. Intrigued, she picked up the letter and read its contents. Her eyes couldn't believe what she had read, much less understand it until—

"Hi Anna." A very attractive guy with sharp blue eyes appeared beside her. Anna just stared in surprise at how good looking the guy was; he was practically every girl's ideal man.

Then Anna realized he was talking to her. "Um—hi? Hello. I mean…" She blushed at her stuttering.

"I'm Sven. Uh, I wrote that letter." Sven said sheepishly, gesturing at the paper on Anna's hand. "I wanted to give it to you personally but I got cold feet and walked out so I just put it there. But—well, I wanted to see your face reading that so…" He broke off with an awkward laugh.

Anna now recognized him. She remembered one of her classmates gushing about him. Apparently, Sven was one of the hottest guys in school, all cool charm and sophistication. But right then, Sven just looked tensed. Anna found it cute and smirked. "So, Sven, instead of reading your letter, why don't you just say it yourself, since you're already here."

Sven looked hesitant but he steeled himself and nodded. "Well, uh, I've been in the Oaken bar and saw you there. I got interested and, um, watched you—not that I'm stalking you." His voice became defensive making Anna chuckle. "Um, okay, I'll say it. I-I like you, but I'm not pushing it or—I just want to get to know you so can we, you know, hangout sometimes?"

Anna's cheeks flared at Sven's confession. It was the first time someone from school confessed to her because, well, everybody was infatuated with her Elsa. Anna didn't see any problem in going out with Sven. Besides, she needed to move on from Elsa. Anna smiled at Sven and gave him an affirming nod.

Anna prepared early on Saturday for her not-a-date-just-hanging-out thing with Sven. She paced her bedroom floor a few times before taking deep calming breaths. "God, why am I so nervous?" She muttered to herself.

She kept on pacing around the house when she stumbled into Elsa who was on her way back to her room. "Oh, Anns, why are you dressed like that? Do you have a date or something?" asked Elsa surprised, and most of all stunned by her sister's beauty. "You look so pretty!" She had never seen Anna dressed up this much and with make up on.

Anna blushed at the sudden compliment. Um, yeah? Something like that, I think? I'm not sure," she said vaguely. Honestly, it had never crossed her mind to tell her sister about the love letter and Sven.

"Ohhh, so who's the unlucky guy?I didn't know our baby girl is now a lady," Elsa cooed, a sly smile on her face despite the slight ache in her chest which she brushed off as her being over protective. "Come here, I'll brush your hair, and please find your chill."

They went to Elsa's room and Anna sat on Elsa's bed and faced her. "God! Are you trying to kill me? This is so much worse than having a date with Sven!" Anna thought to herself. The close proximity to her sister was not helping in easing Anna's nerves and she had to actually sit on her hands to stop them from running down Elsa's skin and pulling her close to kiss her. As Elsa brushed her hair, the desire to pull Elsa flush to her body and do some not so innocent things with her was getting stronger. Anna had to get away before anything happens.

"Hey, Elsa, thanks but I really have to go now. Bye!" Anna said before bolting up out of the room. Elsa stared at her door long after Anna left, her hands still feeling the soft strands of her sister's hair.

Anna and Sven wandered around Enchanted City, a place set for people's enjoyment and is the best venue for dates. It really sets the mood for two people to get to know each other. The whole day had been very fun for Anna, despite the initial awkwardness from this morning, but she decided to put that on the back of her mind. With a big smile she turned to Sven and said, "Thank you so much, Sven! I really enjoyed this day." Then she pulled him in a quick hug and the taken aback Sven couldn't utter a thing.

Since their day in Enchanted City, Sven and Anna kept on having these 'not-a-date-but-maybe-a-date' almost thrice a week. Anna couldn't be happier at the thought that maybe this would let her forget her feelings for Elsa. Elsa, on the other hand, couldn't help her scowl every time Anna was hanging out or hearing her talking and giggling over the phone witht hat Sven guy. Her own relationship with Hans hadn't been going well because thoughts of her sister dating occupied her mind.

It was past midnight when Elsa heard a car stop in front of their house. She moved to her window and saw Anna getting out of a black car, followed by a tall guy. They were talking and despite not being able to hear anything Elsa continued to watch the two.

She watched as Anna stepped back from Sven with a little wave, probably bidding him goodnight, when suddenly Sven grabbed her waist and kissed her.

Elsa's eyes widened and stumbled away from her window, her chest painfully tight, and suddenly, everything became clear to her. The constant aches in her chest, the uncomfortable feeling whenever she saw Anna happy about Sven, all the conflicted emotions she'd been having since Anna kissed her. She was in love with Anna. She was in love with her sister.

Anna reeled back in shock when Sven kissed her. Once she got over the surprise she pushed him off her and slapped him. She didn't look back and run straight inside her house, not stopping until she slammed the door of her room closed and curling up on her bed. She was crying again, and it wasn't just because some guy tried to kiss her. No, it was because she realized hanging out with Sven hadn't helped. She didn't want him, not the way she wanted Elsa. She didn't want his kiss nor did she want to hold his hand or hug him. She wanted Elsa. She was in too deep already. She couldn't love anybody as much as she loved Elsa.

So there, finally making a progress at the least. And really, my beta kept on nagging me on making Anna cry, but it's just- i dunno- being realistic? But anyway I'll make it up to her(Anna). Sorry anyway, the dates and thingy with Sven weren't long enough and detailed, because i'm a pro elsanna that's why. *giggles.. :) bye
