It was just yesterday that Anna had experienced her first class of 'General Mathematics'. Being so exhausted yesterday after self-reproaching about having made Chatrine reveal her disability, she did not have energy to take a closer look at the prints she got from professor Keeling. Today, she had enough time and energy to sit on a bench inside campus and examine all the questions carefully. Even though everyone said that this course was rough to pass, she had to do it. She couldn't resist seeing the look on her parent's face when she tells them she failed a course that her brother had managed to pass a year before. That thought made Anna sigh deeply again.
Anna had been curious about how Kristoff had managed to pass the course last year. He was a good student, but his mathematical skills weren't so brilliant. She had asked him about this issue last night after he texted Chatrine a apologization message.
"I got help from Chatrine. She headed all the mathematics exams last year. She and Elsa are the only ones that managed to get A+ on Keeling's class."
"Do you think they will be able to help me, too? No... After what we had done to Chatrine today, I won't stand a chance to get their help."
"Well. I'll talk to Chatrine about it if you want. She's a nice girl. I'm pretty sure she'd be willing to help you girls out."
There's no way she'd want to help us. We really shouldn't have asked her about her cape. That look on Chatrine and Elsa and her brother's face... Argh!
"Keeling's class?"
"Huh?"
Anna turned her back to see a brunette guy leaning against the bench she was sitting on. Anna's face turned a bit red as her eyes met the tall, handsome guy looking at her.
"Let me guess. General Mathematics?"
"Uh, yeah. How did you know?"
"The questions on the prints. It's too easy to be the one's for courses specialized for students in the science department."
Anna nodded as the guy moved towards the front of the bench and sat down next to her.
"I'm Hans. Hans Southernland. You?"
"Oh, I'm Anna. Anna Bjorgman."
"Are you a freshman? What do you major?"
"Yeah. I am a freshman. And I major history. And you?"
"Physics. Wait. You are a history major taking Keeling's class? How did you get so unlucky?"
"I didn't hear so much about it. I should have registered for biology, but this class had only 2 vacant places when I signed up so I thought it was a popular one."
"Yeah. It's hard for freshmans to expect that it's actually filled with people redoing the course."
Anna giggled at Hans's remark. It wasn't that Anna had never seen a handsome guy before, but being this close wasn't something that happened often.
"So that's your homework? How's it going?"
"Terrible. I'm really bad at math, you see. I couldn't understand a word the professor said in the lecture."
"No surprise. If you did understand something, you'd be the first history major who understood Keeling's lecture. Here, let me take a look."
Anna passed the prints to Hans, who began examining it for a while. He seemed to be thinking about it. He nodded sometimes, tilted his head to the side in some cases, or let out a small 'aha!' as he smiled.
"Well, if you want, it seems like I could give you some help."
"What? Really?"
"Yeah. Like I said. I major physics. Keeling's material is hard for everyone, but still, I can understand it. If you'd let me."
"Of course! I really needed some help for it. Thank you, Hans!"
"No problem. Well, then. When should we start? I've got a class in thirty minutes so I can't do it now. Do you have time tonight?"
"Oh, if I could get help for this prints, I'd cancel all my other appointments!"
"Um... Oh, well then..."
Hans seemed to be surprised by Anna's enthusiasm, but Anna was so desperate that she chose not to be embarassed about that.
"How about we meet at the cafe right outside campus? You know the Oaken's right?"
"Everyone in campus knows the Oaken's."
"Okay, then. How about meeting at the Oaken's at 7 o'clock? No actually... Let's meet at the front of that cafe at 6 o'clock. I'll buy you dinner, and then we can move onto solving your prints. "
"Wow. You're gonna buy me dinner?"
"Just think of it as a kindness a sophomore gentleman offers to a freshman lady."
Anna giggled at that. Afterwards, they exchanged their cell phone numbers and Hans went off to his class. Anna headed for the cafe inside campus where she had promised to meet Merida and Rapunzel after their class ended.
"Hey, Anna!"
Shortly after Anna arrived and got her hot chocolate, Rapunzel and Merida came into the cafe. They sat themselves down at the table Anna was sitting.
"What did you do while we were in class?"
Merida asked after she and Rapunzel got their coffees.
"I looked at these prints we got from math class. Professor Keeling is really killing me with these questions! Oh, that rhymes!"
Merida and Rapunzel laughed as Anna got interested in her sudden realization about the rhymes.
"Let's solve those problems together at home tonight. I'll call Eugene."
"Oh, actually. I've got someone to meet tonight."
"Who?"
"A guy named Hans. He's a physics major. He offered to buy me dinner tonight and help me with these prints."
Merida choked over the coffee she was drinking, and Rapunzel gaped. Anna did not know why her friends were showing such reactions, which made a puzzled expression.
"Um... Is there a problem about that?"
"Oh, no! Of course not! We are just surprised that you are going on your first date after coming to college!"
"Uh, date? ...Oh, yeah, it is a date!"
As Anna came to a sudden realization, Rapunzel shook her head.
"I knew you were hoplelessly sluggish about processing the situation in some occasions, but this one is the worst. You got offered for a date and you didn't even realize?"
Anna took a sip of her hot chocolate before shaking her head. Rapunzel and Merida rolled their eyes.
"Okay. What is this Hans guy like? Is handsome? Is he tall? No need to guess that he is flirty, asking a girl out on a date after meeting her only once."
Rapunzel asked curiously. As Anna was about to answer, Merida suddenly began talking sarcastically.
"Yeah. I bet he is just one of those guys that think about leading their dates to bed."
"Oh, come on, Merida! You don't have to be so pessimistic about dating!"
"I'm not pessimistic about dating. I'm just worried about dating some guy that asks a girl out for a date at their first meeting!"
Anna knew that her friend was right, but something in her mind suddenly forced her to talk back about it.
"Those things do happen. It's love at first sight!"
"Love at first sight? Even my devil brothers don't believe in such a thing, and they are in elementary school now. And if you are gonna say that it's love at first sight, what did you feel when you first saw this guy?"
Anna tried to give an answer, but she wasn't sure what to say. She did think he was handsome, but that wasn't so much about love.
"Oh, please, girls. Don't be so serious. It's just a date. It won't be bad if it develops into a relationship, but nothing's for sure now."
Rapunzel said as she sensed tension between her two friends's conversation. Anna and Merida did ease themselves at that. There was no need for them to get into a fight with such a ridiculous topic.
"Anyways, Anna. You are gonna go for that date, aren't you?"
"I am, but not because it's a date. I need help with my math prints from a physics major who is willing to help me out. But please don't tell Kristoff about it. I don't want him to think of it as a real date and ruin everything."
"I get what you're saying. We are clear about that, aren't we, Merida?"
Merida just gave a low groan. Anna could feel that she was still somewhat uneasy about her meeting with the physics sophomore. But she didn't care. Her friend was always so pessimistic about dating. If she successfully completed this date, she could change the archer's mind.
It was exactly 6 p.m when Anna arrived at the front of the Oaken's. The man was already waiting for her. He gave her a smile as she approached him.
"Sorry. Did you wait for long?"
"No. I arrived about a minute ago. And you don't have to be sorry. You are right on time!"
"Yeah. But if you were waiting for me for a long time..."
"I wasn't, really. Now let's go in."
"Huh? Where?"
"Here."
Anna looked at the direction Hans was pointing, which was a restaurant tight next to the Oaken's cafe. It was popular, but it wasn't a place that students could easily go to. It was a really fancy, and a really expensive place.
"Wow... Here? But it's... Um... I don't think..."
"No worries. I can afford it."
It's either he's extremely rich or a real show-off. Or both, actually.
Anna thought as Hans lead her into the restaurant. The place was, as expected, well-decorated and fancy. Anna and Hans set in a room which seemed to have been reserved. Anna looked nervously around the place, and Hans laughed at that.
"Really, Anna. There's no need to worry. I've got everything handled."
"Oh, yeah... I'm just, well..."
"Well, do you think course A would be good? It is this place's best menu."
Anna looked at the menu list in front of her. Course A. The most popular serving in this restaurant, and also the most expensive.
"Uh, Hans? I can just have a dish of something. I don't need to eat a course like this."
"Please, Anna. I'm just offering. Will you accept?"
Anna couldn't say anything to that. She just sat there as Hans gave the orders to the waiter. She then remembered about the math prints, which she immediately took out fron her bag.
"Um, Hans? I really thank you about the dinner and all, but really, I... I just needed some these math questions, not a fancy dinner."
"Trust me, Anna. You need to have your stomach full before you attempt to challenge for Keeling's assignments. It drains all your energy. This dinner is part of helping you with your homework."
Hans gave another one of his smiles while saying that, which comforted Anna a bit. She nodded as the waiter same in again with the appetizers.
The feast was actually quite enjoyable. It had been long since Anna was able to have a fancy meal like this. She happily ate away her appetizer and cut her steak as she drank her wine ade. She was worried that she might not be able to think well about the math questions if she had some alcohol, but she chose to forget abour that for this moment.
When the dessert(chocolate cake, which was Anna's favorite) came out, Anna was full but still she managed to take little bites of her cake.
"It's only 7. We still have enough time to go over your math prints, so don't worry."
Hans said as Anna stopped eating and just teased her cake with her fork. Anna had completely forgot about the prints, so when Hans recalled the memory about it, she came into a sudden realization and put her fork down.
"Oh, um, yeah. Sure we do have enough time and energy. I mean, yeah, um, but Hans, even though..."
What's wrong with me? Anna knew that she wasn't so much of a speaker, but she usually didn't stutter this much. Her stomach suddenly started to ache, and she started feeling dizzy.
"Um... Hans... I think... I'm, I'm not feeling well..."
"Oh, of course you don't"
What's that supposed to mean? Anna couldn't get the answer as she driftted of into unconsciousness.
"Come on, Merida. There's no need to worry so much about Anna. It's not like she's spending a night out with that guy."
"I know, Rapunzel. Argh. I'm acting so much like my mom. I never knew I would become like this."
Rapunzel laughed as she remembered what kind of person Merida's mother was. It seemed that she really did have her mother's blood.
"Hey, girls! We are here!"
Eugene, or Flynn, was it, but whatever he was called, the guy walked into the apartment with Kristoff by his side.
"I really shouldn't have told you the lock code. We've got our own privacy, Eugene."
"Sorry. But Kristoff and I have the responsibility to take care of you girls."
Eugene said as he ruffled Rapunzel's hair.
"Where's Anna?"
Kristoff asked as he looked around the place and found no sign of his sister. As Rapunzel was trying to process an answer that kept Anna's secret and didn't make Kristoff get worried at the same time, Merida acted before her.
"She's on a date with some guy she met today."
"What?"
"Merida!"
"What? He's gotta know."
Rapunzel sighed and turned to Kristoff who seemed to be stunned at the news.
"It's no big deal. I mean, it's just a date."
"A date with some guy you met today? Are you kidding me?"
"She didn't know that it was a date at first. She just thought about getting help with the math homework from the guy. He's a physics major."
"Wait. Physics?"
Eugene interrupted. Rapunzel turned towards him and nodded.
"Yeah. He's sophomore like you guys."
"A physics sophomore?! Do- Do you know his name?"
"Um, I think it was Hans..."
"Hans?!"
Kristoff and Eugene yelled at the same time. Rapunzel and Merida jumped from their place at their voices
"Why? What's wrong"
Rapunzel asked as she sensed panic within the two guys.
"Oh my god. Hans Southerland, that Pervert?!"
"What?"
"He's a definite pervert. He was suspended out of school for... Oh whatever! He's actually gotta be in senior year now but he's staying in his sophomore year for three years as a discipline!"
"Urgh! When did Anna go out?! She's not even getting her phone!"
"About 2 hours ago?"
"Damn!"
The two girls could say nothing as they saw the two men panic. Rapunzel bit her lower lip worriedly. Merida was right. Going out for a date with a guy you just met wasn't a good idea.
Sorry for the long wait! I had a test so I couldn't concentrate on writing. This one's turned out to be much more awkward than I expected it to be, but I didn't want to keep you guys waiting. I will try my best to write a better one next time without keeping you guys waiting for a long time. And thanks for all the fav, follows and reviews! It really encourages me! I will return as soon as possible! So until then, bye!
