Chapter 3 - Prestissimo

"Hey Jack! Nice to see you here!" Tooth exclaimed happily upon the sight of the pale boy with an unusual white hair color. She walked quickly towards Jack who has been waiting restlessly outside Juilliard. She can see that the heat is in the middle of murdering him- his face is practically drenched in sweat.
Jack raised an eyebrow when a high pitched voice greeted him . He quickly turned around to the source of the voice. "Hey there Tooth!" Jack waved towards the owner of the voice- Toothiana, aka Tooth. He wiped away the beads of sweat that clings to his face. "Goddamit, today is hot as fuck!" Jack curses as more sweat rain down on his face.
Tooth laughed softly at the sight of her distressed co-worker, which Jack replied with a scowl. "Here, here. A boy with teeth as perfect as yours shouldn't cuss a lot!" She hands two sheets of tissue to Jack, which Jack grabbed instantly and roughly scrub it on his face.
"Thanks Tooth." Jack thanked Tooth with his signature grin as he crumples the tissues and throws it to the nearest bin. The effect is quite quick, the thin veil of sweat has been removed from Jack's face. Tooth can now clearly see his bright blue eyes and that marvelous, gorgeous, perfect white teeth Tooth favors. Since the first day Tooth saw Jack's wide grin, she immediately became Jack's 'tooth mom'- every time she saw Jack eat lots of sweets, Tooth will give him a 10 minutes long lecture about keeping your teeth clean- and she probably can go on for a hour if Jack didn't plead Tooth to stop. "Here, North told me to hand you this." Jack took a tumbler from the cup holder of his backpack and hand it to Tooth.
"Oh? Now you're the delivery boy? Thanks!" Tooth teased as he takes the tumbler from Jack. She received a groan from Jack in response, which Tooth reply with a chuckle. Then, she opened the cap of the tumbler and she took a deep whiff of the aroma of coffee that evaporates from the hot, black liquid inside the tumbler. "Awesome! North knows that I love coffee while it's still hot!" She commented while putting back the cap on.
"What? It's boiling hot here, and you still like coffee while its hot?" Jack snorted, but he decided to let Tooth's odd preference go. "How's university?" Jack inquired Tooth, expecting her to complain like mad.
"It's very fun! Everyone is great at singing, which makes it way more exciting!" Tooth answered, completely different from what Jack thought she would say. Jack shot her an I-don't-believe-the-crap-you-said look while Tooth talked about how great this year is and how she is very sure that this year is going to be full of good memories. Jack soon became bored and was about to cut her in the middle of her sentence, but then Tooth say something that caught his attention- "... and the 'Snow Queen' looks beautiful and amazing as ever! And her teeth is simply perfect!"
"'Snow Queen'?" Jack questioned Tooth with a glint of interest. Anything with a name that is related to winter always attracts him, and the 'Snow Queen'? That's fancy as hell.
"Oh, sorry, I meant Elsa Arendelle Queens. The 'Snow Queen' is just her nickname. She's like, the best of the best! I've been here for four years, and she just started her third year and she's way better than me!" Tooth replied excitedly, her short black hair with streaks of green and yellow on the bangs bobbed up and down, which resulted to her earrings with a yellow feather attached on each bounced as well.
Jack would fire more questions to Tooth is his stomach doesn't grumble loudly. "Whoops!" Jack apologized while laughing and his co-worker with eccentric hair (as if his hair is not eccentric at all) giggled along.
"We should go to a nearby restaurant now. We can talk along the way!" Tooth offered Jack, and Jack accepted with a nod of his head.
"Well then, let's go! I'm really hungry right now." Jack urged Tooth. "Oh, and can we take a cab?"
Tooth grinned at her co-worker's- and currently, lunch companion's, request. "You really hate the sun, do you? The restaurant is not so far from here!"
"Doesn't matter!" Jack pouted, his messy white hair swaying with the hot summer breeze that blew softly.
"Promise you, Jack! The restaurant's is just at the corner! Oh, how about if we make it fun? Let's race!" Tooth exclaimed eagerly , her purple eyes (which Jack is pretty sure is contact lens, although her never bothered to ask) widen in enthusiasm.
Upon hearing the word 'fun', Jack gives a challenging grin to Tooth and say, "Sure! And I bet you'll lose!". Jack didn't even think about if for a second, as long as he deemed it fun, screw the consequences. The thought of getting soaked in sweat once he arrived at the restaurant never even crossed his mind. Well, perhaps the piano is an exception to screwing the consequences for fun, but that matter is irrelevant for now.
"Pssh! Always fun and games, huh, Jack Frost?" Tooth teased Jack using his nickname.
"That's what I live and breath for!" Jack replied proudly. A mischievous plan suddenly came across to his mind, and his lips form a faint smirk .
Tooth take a deep breath, then start the countdown, "Alright! In three, two, one, go-"
"OMG TOOTH, THAT PERSON HAS PERFECT TEETH!" Jack suddenly yelled, cutting Tooth. He pointed to the direction behind them.
"OH MY GOSH WHO?" Tooth looked back to the direction Jack pointed, her purple eyes frantically searching for the person with perfect teeth Jack has 'pointed' out.
With that cue, Jack immediately took off, grinning in satisfaction that his plan worked amazingly. "See you at the restaurant!" Jack shouted while running as fast as he could to Tooth, who's still looking for the person with perfect teeth.
When Tooth heard Jack's shouting, her mind quickly clicked- that rascal was bluffing to get a head start! "Hey! You're cheating!" Tooth yelled back as she run after Jack, laughter escaping her lips that are coated with light pink colored lipstick.

It appears that Jack arrived first in front of the restaurant, thanks to his 'cunning' plan. When Tooth arrived while panting, she smack Jack's arm while laughing. Then, she took a couple of tissues to wipe her sweat drenched face, and gave the remaining to Jack, who's apparently more covered with sweat than she is. The both of them proceed to enter the restaurant, and Tooth and Jack sighed in relieved as the cool breeze from the air conditioner smacked their face as they enter the building. After taking a seat and ordering their food, Tooth and Jack proceed in their conversation. "Sooo, tell me more about this Elsa- Elsa—" Jack dug in to his brain, trying to remember Elsa's last name.
"Elsa Arendelle Queens." Tooth recited.
"Yeah, sure, Elsa Arendelle Queens. So, remembering what you said earlier, she's like, some sort of the primadonna?" Jack inquired, while his fingers tap on the table for no reason.
"Yep! You should listen to her singing- in a glance, you can tell that she's very, very, very good at singing, as if she's born and raised to sing! Oh, and she's just simply perfect! Her Instagram account is literally flooded with likes and followers, and, at least five guys from each department in Juilliard has a mega crush on her! Oh, oh! And her teeth is as perfect as your teeth!" Tooth described Elsa, in a way that sounded like Tooth is Elsa's biggest fan.
Jack nods as he begins to ponder on the newly gained information 'She seemed so flawless... And usually people like that are shitty-'
"JACK! ELSA'S HERE!" Tooth whispered loudly to Jack, disturbing his rain of prejudice towards Elsa. Tooth pointed to the door, and lucky for Jack, he is seated facing to the door. "The one with the platinum blonde hair!"
Jack squinted his blue eyes, trying to search for this Elsa Arendelle Queens, and to see if she's as beautiful (and possibly bitchy) as he thought, oh, there's a girl with a light blonde hair, now let's see her face-

"Holy shit..." Jack mouthed in disbelief, because damn, the Snow Queen is goddamn beautiful and hot. Just seeing the extremely charming blonde moved her bangs aside from her forehead and tucks a stray strand behind her ear made Jack swear that he can hear and feel is heart thumping as clear as day. His heart beat changed from a moderate, steady tempo and skyrocketed to a hectic and distraught presto "No fucking way a human can be that beautiful!"
"Told you she's very pretty! And Jack, stop staring. She'll notice that you're staring!" Tooth whispered at Jack.
"Are you kidding me? Pretty? She's more than that! She's a walking sex nuclear!" Jack glared and spat at Tooth, a bit too loudly. "And for your information, I am certainly not staring! ... I guess." Jack finishes weakly, because he admits that he's indeed staring. After all, who can't help but stare at that diamond among the dirt? Not just her face that is an apple to the eye, her body is too; Elsa's body is perfectly sculpted- even though her clothes hide a bit of her curve, one can easily tell that she has a body of a Victoria Secret model.
"Whoa, chill Jack! And keep your voice down-" Tooth cut herself in the middle of the sentence when she saw Elsa walking standing next her. "Hey there Elsa!" Tooth quickly greeted her loudly.
'Oh shit oh shit shit!" Jack mentally cuss. His heart rate has doubled to a prestissimo- probably faster than any Chopin's etude, or Liszt's 'La Campanella', or even Rachmaninoff's 'Theme of Paganini'. He braced himself to look at the beauty standing near his table. Jack heart nearly break through his chest. He quickly pretend to play with his phone in order to hide his face- he hopes that the heat at his cheeks does not cause any major redness on his cheeks
"Good afternoon... Tooth." Elsa politely say, quick to remember Tooth's nickname. "And again, I apologize for the stain I caused on your book."
'Her lips is perfect.. I could kiss it every second..' Jack thought, stealing a glance to the dainty and fair girl.
"Ah, don't worry about that! It's last semester's book anyway, so it's not that important!" Tooth cheerfully replied. "By the way, meet my friend, Jack Frost!"
"Jack.. Frost?" Elsa process the name in her brain, while glancing at the white haired boy who's giving out a look to Tooth that could kill an army.
"I-it's actually Jackson Overland. Jack Frost is my nickname" Jack stuttered. 'YOU STUTTERED JACK THAT IS SO NOT COOL' His brain scolded Jack. Jack cleared his throat and nervously offer his right hand to Elsa.
Instead of laughing at Jack (which Jack has mentally prepared himself), Elsa took his hand and shake it firmly. "Elsa Arendelle Queens. Very pleased to meet you, Jackson." Her tone reminded sounds what a proud, noble queen would say- so confident and sure, giving out an air of royalty, and at the same time, coldness and sharpness. Jack's palm lingered for a few second on her palm, feeling her smooth and unusually cold skin. The Snow Queen; suits her. A rush of boldness came to Jack, and he look at Elsa straight in the eye. He shuddered, and his eyes widen slightly-

There are no warmth in her eyes. No traces of happiness. Nothing. Just looking at Elsa's blue eyes made him feel that he is trapped in a cold, cold, cold and dark cage, where only if you're strong, you'll survive and endure- and to do that, you must ravage and shut down others. Chaos. Her eyes sung out chaos and havoc, just like a storm that destroys anything in its way. He searched even deeper- the eyes are the window to the sould, they say, and to Jack, it's painfully true. Elsa suddenly doesn't seem so perfect and flawless anymore. In his eyes, Elsa seems like a beautiful doll that has been teared and torn apart and mended so many times. Jack tried to search in deeper, wondering if her eyes held anything else- wait, what is that? Is that...

Fear?

"Excuse me." Elsa said, slightly louder than her usual tone.
"Ah?" That pulled Jack away from her blue eyes, and he noticed that Elsa is no longer holding his hand. "Oh, um, sorry." Jack offered a bashful smile towards Elsa.
Elsa gave a questioning look, but then her lips slightly crooked upwards, attempting a smile. "Well then, it's a pleasure to see you, Tooth and Jackson. I'll see you soon." With that, Elsa left.
"Wait, she's not going to eat here?" Tooth asked to no one in particular. "A mysterious one. Came to a restaurant but didn't eat or order anything."
Jack answered with a shrug.
"By the way, is she that beautiful to you? You're practically staring at her eyes!" Tooth commented.
"Yeah..." Jack answered weakly; he can't forget the storm of her eyes. It's almost as he's staring at a... Monster. 'No, she's not a monster.' Jack assured himself. 'Just probably... Sad.'
Tooth gave him a confused look, but quickly changed once she saw her food coming. "Food's here!"
Jack slowly eats his food- not a single second passed without him thinking about Elsa Arendelle Queens.

'Elsa Arendelle Queens. The Snow Queen. With eyes as vicious as the winter storm. Who looks majestic and with no trace of imperfection. But deep inside, I know what I saw, and I'm certain of it; concealed and lock away deep inside the storm and ice, is fear.'

Jack finds himself wishing that one day, perhaps, he could guide the Queen out from the howling wind and the raging storm inside her.
