Haha, I keep forgetting to say this, but OMG 100 REVIEWS! Another things, congrats my faithful reviewers, I now have more reviews for this story than my other story! I'm glad it's such a hit! And omg I'm a freshman now...this is weird...
School's out for me! I'm on summer! But I have another 3-day event so I'll be busy but I promise to try and find time to update.
By the way, you guys should go check out my newest story Camp Frozen , which is another product of my boredom, and submit a character! More info if you check it ou-ut...!
The days passed by quickly.
Kate was tired of the same classes everyday. She couldn't wait until break. Jack would occasionally try to talk to her but mostly left her and Hiccup alone.
Oh well. She was fine with that.
There was only three weeks left of school, and Kate decided to go with Hiccup to the ice cream shop.
"It'll be fun." He told her.
"I doubt it," she mumbled.
"Come on, please?"
"Only because I have nothing better to do."
"That's the spirit," he said sarcatsically.
Kate rolled her eyes.
She went to her dorm to get dressed.
She threw on some white jeggings and her boots, with a baby blue shirt and leather jacket. She made sure to fix her makeup and bun before leaving. She was content with her appearance.
She sat there for a minute petting Nevara, who had grown into a very beautiful feline, and left.
As she turned away from the dorm, she ran into someone.
"S-sorry!" She said, scrambling up.
"Why don't you watch where you're going?" The other person snarled.
Kate looked up to find Jasmine.
"I'm sorry," she repeated.
"Whatever." She said, getting up.
"Are you okay?" Kate asked.
"What do you care?"
Kate backed up a step. "What, being cold just because I'm not friends with Jack anymore?"
She had no idea where those words came from.
Kate was apalled at herself!
Jasmine just lowered her gaze, giving her an icy glare.
"Excuse me?" She said.
"N-nothing," she said, darting away.
But Jasmine caught her and pushed her into the wall, hard.
Kate tried not to cry out in pain, only faling so-so.
"Jack is still mine and don't ever forget it!" She hissed in Kate's ear.
Kate slid down the wall, tucking her invisible fly aways behind her ear and whimpering.
Maybe Jasmine hadn't heard her, but Kate and Jack weren't really friends anymore. They didn't even talk.
Jasmine slammed her into the wall one more painful time before walking off.
Kate struggled with even breathing for a moment before uprighting herself.
She smoothed her clothing before putting on a pretty face and walking out to meet Hiccup.
"Are you okay?" He asked when she got there.
"...Let's just go." She said.
Hiccup drove.
The ice cream shop was emptry side for one person sitting with her back turned to them.
Kate got the usual mint chocolate chip and Hiccup got a strawberry banana smoothie.
They sat down.
The person sitting in the back then got up, removing her hood.
Kate stared.
It just had to be Anna.
Anna stopped, too, looking at Kate. Then she smiled, coming over.
"Hey, aren't you Kate, Jack's friend?" She said.
"Mm hm," Kate said, nodding.
"I don't know if you remember me, but-"
"You're Anna," Elsa interrupted quietly.
"That's right," Anna beamed.
Something clicked in Hiccup's mind and he got up.
"Ahem, excuse me, ladies, I think I'm gunna go for a walk around."
"Do you want me to go?" Elsa asked.
"No, I need to take care of something," Hiccup smiled.
He mouthed 'you can thank me later' behind Anna's back.
Kate glared at him, thinking that she would be doing anything but thanking him later.
"Anyways," Anna said awkwardly.
Anna laughed.
"You look beautiful," I say.
"Thanks!" She says. "You look beautifuller! I mean, not beautifuller, you don't look fuller, just, more beautiful..."
Anna clams up, blushing.
Kate laughs softly. "Thank you."
"Isn't it supposed to rain this week?" Anna asked, sitting down.
"Yeah, I think so." She sighed.
"Oh." Anna says, looking away.
"So what are you doing here?" Kate asked.
"Oh, I asked for Girda to drive me here, she's a nurse, so I could shop around a little." She smiles.
"Sounds fun," she commented. Anna was fifteen now, she was almost all grown up.
Kate grew quiet.
This couldn't be good for herself. Anna was like a link. A link Kate couldn't afford.
"So you're going to school at BPAA?" Anna asked.
Kate nodded, licking her ice cream.
"What profession?"
"Music," she replied gruffly.
"Sounds interesting," she smiled.
Kate shrugged.
"Yeah," she sighed. "Did Jack tell you about me?"
"Uh, other than the fact that you two were old friends, not really," she said.
"Yeah. Well, I live at the hospital, three years ago I was in a bad car accident. My parents were killed. I thought my sister was killed, too, but, recently, me and Jack found otherwise. But it's not like we can do anything, she's gone forever."
Kate's heart clenched. Oh if she could only tell her. But, Kate had to panick and freeze up.
She sat up, starightening her already-perfect posture. "Um, Jack and I."
"What?"
"It'd be Jack and I, not me and Jack," Kate half-smiled.
"You don't seem very inviting to new strangers," Anna noted. It wasn't to sound rude, she was just stating something.
"Yeah, I guess not." She sighed.
"Why do you shut me out?" She asked.
"Don't take it personal, I do it to everybody." Kate said somberly.
"Oh." Was all Anna responded.
"I'm sorry, I guess your story was a touchy subject. I also lost my parents and sibling in a car crash," Kate said. Why not, Anna wouldn't be able to piece things together.
"Oh, I'm so sorry," she said.
"Life happens. It's just the way we deal with things. You are very strong to be able to smile," Kate complimented.
"Well, I'm the only one to be strong for me," Anna smiled.
Kate thought about that.
"Well, it was nice seeing you again," Kate said, getting up.
"You too, see you around!"
"Bye, Anna," Kate called quietly as she walked out the door.
She walked back to the parking lot to find Hiccup at the car.
"Do you wanna talk about it?" He asked.
"Nope."
The rest of the drive passed by in silence.
The next day, Kate didn't feel like going to school. The downpour outside matched her mood as she got dressed in her uniform.
She rushed outside, shielding her books as she ran.
She was dripping wet when she got to math class.
"Welcome, miss Hope," the teacher said. Kate realized that she had been late to class.
"Sorry," she said, sitting down in the only avaible seat by the door.
Which also happened to be a seat next to Jasmine...and Jack.
She avoided eye contact, sorting through her books and papers.
Jasmine whispered something to a friend, laughing.
After a while, the teacher left to go get something, leaving everyone alone.
Jasmine got up, sitting down on Kate's desk.
"Jasmine," Jack said.
Jasmine just glared at him, looking back to Kate.
Kate got a bad feeling.
Jasmine stared at Kate's scared face and laughed.
She felt like everyone was staring at her. Kate's face reddened.
Then, she ran out of the room.
Jasmine followed her into the halls.
Luckily, they didn't run into any teachers.
"Katrian," Jasmine called mockingly.
"Please go away." Kate whispered.
"I just want to let you kow that you can't win."
Kate stopped. "Win what?"
"Jack's heart."
Kate snorted. "Whatever. You can have it for all I care."
Jasmine looked at her, unconvinced. "Jack's going to crush your puny little heart beneath his boot and he won't even give you a second glance. You're no different than anyone else. You're a freak, a nobody, you're no better than the air we breathe in and out and around us. You might as well be invisible."
Kate cringed with each word, walking on. Each word was a bullet and she was bleeding out fast.
Class let out then.
Students noticed Jasmine and Kate, and circled them to watch.
"You are nothing! Do you hear me, Kate, nothing!" Jasmine screeched.
Kate kept walking, trying to push through the crowds. She had left her school stuff back in math class. Oh well. She wasn't even planning on going to the next period anyways.
She then caght sight of Hiccup pushing through the crowds. She stopped, smiling.
At least there was one person who cared.
"Why did you stop, did you realize that no one loved you?" Jasmine asked.
That hit a mark. She had people she loved. But she had pushed them away and now they were gone forever.
"Jasmine," Kate said. "Shut up."
Jasmine pushed her down.
Kate stayed on the ground, waiting a few seconds before getting up and continuing on.
"Don't walk away from me when I'm talking to you!" Jasmine screeched, flinging Kate down.
Everyone laughed at Kate.
Why would they laugh? Were they just so hypnotized by Jasmine's "perfection"?
Kate got up.
She turned, spinning, staring at every sneering face.
She couldn't breathe again.
"Aw, are you gunna cry?" Jasmine laughed.
Kate then bolted.
She pushed through the crowds but this time they let her pass.
She only bumped into one person.
"Are you okay?" Jack asked, holding her in place.
Kate wanted to cry. But she wouldn't let anyone see.
"Let go." She said dangerously.
"Kate," Jack said, but she didn't let him finish.
"Leave me alone, Jack," she said, tearing herself from his grip and darting out into the rain, not caring about the downpours.
Nobody followed her, but she just wanted a place to run to.
A place to go home to.
She thought of Anna, and how lost she must feel. She thought of a song and sang it in her head as she ran.
Well I couldn't tell you why she felt that way
She felt it everyday
And I couldn't help her
Anna didn't deserve Kate's help anymore. Kate didn't even deserve Anna's pity.
I just watched her make the same mistakes again
Kate was already soaked to the bone. If someone was following her, well, she hoped nobody was following her. Not even Jack.
What's wrong, what's wrong now?
Too many, too many problems
Don't know where she belongs, where she belongs
While Kate had Anna in her mind as she sang the song in her head, she had one more person. Herself.
She wants to go home, but nobody's home
It's where she lies, broken inside
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes
Broken inside
What a mess everything was. Kate couldn't stand up to a school bully, she couldn't be grateful for her one and only friend, she couldn't help but push out the one thing from her past that longed to reconnect with her. She was a mess herself.
Open your eyes and look outside, find the reasons why
You've been rejected, and now you can't find what you left behind
Be strong, be strong now
Too many, too many problems
Don't where she belongs, where she belongs
Kate kept running, drenched by the rain but she didn't care. She didn't necessarily care about anything at the time.
She wants to go home, but nobody's home
It's where she lies, broken inside
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes
Broken inside
Kate stopped running, pausing at a small sheltered place, leaning against it.
Her feelings she hides
Her dreams she can't find
She's losing her mind
She's fallen behind
She sighed. Her bun was soaked in a useless heap. Who was there to care? So she pulled the pin out, allowing her hair to fall in a very wet braid. Her makeup was probably faded. She hadn't really been thinking.
She can't find her place
She's losing her faith
She's fallen from grace
She's all over the place
Yeah, oh
Kate walked out of the shelter, aimlessly wandering the school grounds. Because who was left to care?
She wants to go home
But nobody's home
It's where she lies, broken inside
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes
Broken inside
She picked up the pace, running again. The rain blurred her vision but she didn't care. She kept on running.
When she reached some grass, she couldn't see and she slipped.
She stayed on the ground, just staring at the grass.
A hand suddenly was in front of her face.
Kate looked up to find Jack, his eyes filled with concern.
"Are you okay?" He was soaked as well and looked like he had been following her.
She stared back up into his eyes.
She's lost inside
She turned away from his outstreched hand. No, she was not okay.
Lost inside...oh oh yeah
"Come on," he said.
Kate didn't acknowledge him. Instead, she slowly got to her feet, walking off into the rain to her dorm.
The whole way there, Jack followed her.
She's lost inside, lost inside...oh oh yeah
Review time! And sorry, I'm gunna skip the really short complimentary ones, due to too many reviews (which is not a bad thing!)
CupcakeMonkey567: haha, calm yourself, and thanks! I feel like I did a really crappy job on this chapter but enjoy anyways.
ATA: of course I'm gunna add more chapters when Jack finally finds out! Sheesh, do you people have no faith in me? Jk, I know, I thought the same thing:)
Snowman: haha, yeah, it's gunna be that way for a bit longer so hang inthere. It will all turn out all right...probably... jk, what's the point of a jelsa if it doesn't have a happy ending, right? And I thought why not add Hiccup in in some important roles, there? So I'm glad it worked out. And I did say that they were oblivious, did I not? And we shall see on that one, I still kinda like my original idea but I will work it out and twist some stuff in and see how it turns out. That's what you guys are here for! Lol, anyways...
corde amare: haha, sorry, haven't completed a story yet...but I promise when I do finish a story I will update it to say complete. Thank you so much! Reviews like yours make my day! (Or night...technically it's nightime)
Your awesomeness: had to say something, lol I see what you did there... ;)
shobbs10: haha, no prob, I'm used to it. I always say I'm bilingual in normal and crazy cuz I can understand and interpret my friends when they are being really weird. Is that sad? And haha, yes, yes it will be.
Falcon88: haha, I haven't been that good with updating... *sheepish grin* and thanks I spent a while working with that piece. I have yet to look that song up but I will tryto remember. And I know, I thought that Kate/Elsa needed somebody to tell! And oh? I'd like to beg to differ. Teenagers are SO freaking complicated that half the time I don't even understand myself. Haha, coicidence!
And uh, I hope you'd remember middle school. If you're in college, you're what, twenty something? That's too young to have such a terrible memory! *says the one who loses her phone every 5 seconds...speaking of which..where did I put my phone...? Crap* Yeah, 8th grade was pretty fun. Key word there: was! I'm a 9th grader now! It feels so weird! ^-^ and wow. Always remember that you are surrounded by idiots. Fact of life. If it makes you feel any better my friend didn't know who the first president of the United States was and actually believed me when I told her it was Abraham Lincoln. She's obviously the blonde of the group...
Michelle-Lee: exactly! See? Hiccup really is the best supporting friend! Haha, coincidences everywhere! And thanks, I probably won't do much but somethings probably will play a part in the big revelation.
Nerdqueen101: yes, that's eaxactly the point. And that's where the controversy part comes in.
spinoff: I kept thinking Bring Me To Life was called Wake Me Up and kept getting those lyrics and wondering why..yeah, but idk why, I haven't really listened to those lyrics but will do. And no, she was the only child when she was adopted.
Phew! Sorry for the long A/N. Thank you all so much for supporting this story!
