I realize, as the glass door entry of the lounge comes into my sight, I've literally run down here. I stop, take a deep breath, and close my eyes. Patting my hair down, checking to make sure everything is still in place, I take conscious slow steps towards the door. I grasp the cold, silver handle and pull it open gently, warm air brushing against my bare legs. Anna waves giddily, and I walk over to the couches she sits at with the others.
"There you are!" Anna cheers, getting up to hug me. She tightens her arms around me for a bit too long, so I end up having to awkwardly shrug her off. "Whoa," she says, admiring the creme eyeshadow I had applied this morning. "How do you do that?"
Rapunzel gets up to look too. "Oh wow, did you take cosmetology or something? Your makeup is perfect. I'm awful at it." She laughs.
"Jack," Flynn jokes in the background, cuffing his face. "You just have to tell me how you do your eyeliner."
"Shut it, you." Rapunzel giggles, sitting down again. "Jack and Elsa, the two love-bird beauty queens."
I roll my eyes, and reply "Obviously", not thinking much of it. Only when I notice that even though Jack laughs, he also seems embarrassed do I realize they may think something is going on between us. I narrow my eyebrows, only slightly, out of curiosity. I shake my head, pushing the thought away. "So, what do you guys have for first orientation?" I say, looking at the clock. I'll have to go in a few minutes. Advanced Piano starts at 8:45, and it's all the way at the music wing.
"I'll be in photography." Rapunzel says with a grin, "Except I have until 12:30 to do nothing. Afternoon classes are great. Flynn has European History." She answers for him.
"Well, you know what I have." Anna says, shoving me playfully. "Jack?"
"I'm in Piano, actually… I should be going soon. 8:45 class." He replies, clicking his phone's screen button.
"Oh no," Flynn says dramatically. "Not just piano, Jack. Advanced Piano." He teases.
"Well, Jack, we'll have to walk together." I say with a simple smile. "I'm in there to."
"Oh, really?" He says, seemingly surprised by the fact I play.
"No, she's lying." Rapunzel laughs, messing up Jack's white hair.
"Haha, oh… Well…" He responds awkwardly. We all laugh a bit.
"Come on, Jack. Let's get you to class before you cause yourself more trouble." I tease with a smile, standing and taking his hand to pull him of the couch. I like the way his voice sounds when I say it.
"Well, Elsa, I'm sure you'll get me into trouble too." He replies smoothly. He lingers on my hand as he pulls it away, and opens the door for me.
"Bye beauty queens!" Rapunzel calls after us, and the door swings closed.
Walking to class is awkward, none the less. The tension is there from last night, after the fact he proclaimed his attraction to me in a kiss. That doesn't even phase me, though. The thing on my mind is that I think I feel the same.
Upon entering the classroom, instructed by Ms. Ellwood, we're told to partner up. Of course, I stay with Jack and avoid eye contact with anyone else
"Class," the teacher calls over a speaker. She has a heavy british accent, but she's easily understood. She doesn't look much older than us. "My name is Ms. Ellwood, but you can gladly call me Jane is you'd like. Before we do anything else, we're going to form an emotional connection among the class. I believe that the requirements of playing are found in the mind, the hands, and the heart. Please take your partner's hands."
Jack and I turn to each other, and he reaches for my right hand, sliding his fingers over mine, and intertwining them. His hands are freezing, yet comforting. I take his free hand in mine, and we stand, staring into each other's eyes, blankly.
"Now, and close your eyes, and think of a song you've learned that's inspired you." Jane's voice rings out.
True Love's Kiss, I think, realizing how cheesey it'll sound if I have to say it out loud.
"When you open your eyes, connect this person to that song." Jane concludes. "Open them.", and as I do, his blue eyes are revealed, and connecting Jack to a kiss suddenly doesn't seem bad, or wrong, or anything but reality, because I lean in and do it.
A physical connection of Jack to a kiss.
