I'm back! Did you miss me? Of course you did! Lol jk, I know you only missed my story ;P but wow, lots of reviews...I love it! Thank you so much! I was rereading this story last night and...wow. I have improved a lot. I hope. But it reminded me of a lot of things:) It is a little (okay, a lot) unclear on what eye color Jack has. I've put brown, I've put blue, I am just going to clarify that he has natural blue eyes in this story. Also, if I have messed on the tense, I mean to always have it in past tense so sorry for some random present tense in there. Now, I believe Jack has a mess he needs to fix...
Kate looked down at her phone the next morning.
27 new messages
She scrolled through them quickly, all of them being from Jack. She sighed, throwing her phone on her bed without reading any of them. She went to get dressed, twisting her hair up in her bun and quickly putting in her contacts.
Her phone dinged, notifying her another message. She rolled her eyes, expecting one from Jack, but there was one from Hiccup.
Hiccup: We need to talk
Her thumbs tapped a reply.
Kate: Not you too
Hiccup: I'm not telling you over txt. I'll meet you in your dorm after school.
Kate: Let's not and say we did
Hiccup: I'll bring the ice cream. See you then.
Kate: Actually, I have something I need to do after school!
Hiccup: And that would be...?
Kate: Well, 1) avoid both you and Jack, and 2)-
Before she could send the message, another text from Hiccup popped up.
Hiccup: You better not say 'study'
She glared at the phone like it had personally wronged her, then deleted part of her message so that it just read the 'avoid you and Jack' part.
Hiccup: You better be there, Kate
Kate: Fine
She ran through and deleted all of Jack's messages, then grabbed her school bag and walked out.
She sighed.
All of this drama and she only had three days left of school.
She finished the day, surviving. Just barely. At least Jack hadn't tried to talk to her. She just felt stressed out with all of school. It was down to the wire and BPAA ran until the last day. She needed to maintain perfect grades.
She walked through the door, no sooner than setting down her bag and giving Nevara a pet did Hiccup come walking in.
Knock much?
"Hey," she greeted.
"Okay, sit down." He ordered.
"First, can I take my contacts out? They've been killing me all day," she said.
"What? Oh, right."
She peeled them out, setting them in the round contact holders on the bathroom counter.
"Jack's not supposed to be coming here, right?" She asked, sitting on the bed closest to the bathroom in case she had to dash in there.
"Right." He stared at her.
"What?" She snapped, feeling moody.
"Sorry, it's just weird to see you with blue eyes."
Well you don't have to announce it to the world.
"Uh...thanks? Anyways, what did you want to tell me?" She was slightly afraid of the answer.
He chuckled nervously. "About Jack..."
"I don't want to hear how he made a mistake and how I wasn't supposed to see any of that, okay?" She immediately started out.
"Wait, what? Made a mistake? Oh right, sorry, you don't know the real story. Which is why I'm here, stupid!" He scolded himself.
"Uh, know what?" She asked.
"Okay, look, first of all, that wasn't Jack's fault. Jasmine made him do it-"
"Jasmine? I should have known. Wait, that doesn't matter. Jack is free to do whatever he wants. No one 'makes' him do anything." She said.
"Well, not..." He mumbled something that Kate couldn't quite catch.
"What was that?" She asked.
"Nothing," he said quickly. "Just, hear me out, okay?"
"Okay, but, why won't Jack tell me this himself?"
Hiccup face palmed. "Because you won't give him the time of day!"
"Oh right. But, can you blame me?" She asked innocently and in defense.
"No, honestly, I can't. But you're right about one thing, this is totally something Jack would do. To any other girl. Not one he actually cares about."
"The term you use for me doesn't make me any less concerned," she stated, folding her arms.
"Point is, Jack cares about you. More than I've seen him care about anyone else, okay? Jasmine was threatening you if he didn't convince her he didn't like you and you have no idea how far Jasmine's willing to take things."
"Wait, what?" Kate exclaimed. "First of all, that's ridiculous, and secondly, I can handle myself, thank you very much." Even though she doubted that herself.
"Yeah, sure. Maybe against her everyday nonsense. Barely."
"I heard that," she pouted.
"Oh, you know it's true. You won't even stand up for yourself, what are you going to do when she gets serious?" He demanded.
Kate shrank back. Truth be told, Jasmine highly intimidated her. She had everything to intimidate Kate with; the high status, the will to go as far as it takes, the people to back her up, no one to turn her in. Kate wouldn't want her after her.
But that didn't mean that Jack had to just willingly let her do whatever it was she wanted.
"But Jack could have defended me." She said.
"Last time Jasmine felt threatened by a girl, Jack did say something in her defense. And he didn't even care about her. Trust me, be thankful that Jack didn't stand up for you."
Kate sighed. "I suppose he does know me well enough to know that Jasmine would probably ruin me in a day..." She started to feel bad. She should have given him a chance to explain.
"Wait a minute..." Hiccup started. "I have a question."
"Uh, yes?" Kate asked hesitantly.
"Why did you care so much when you found Jack kissing Jasmine?" Hiccup raised his eyebrows.
She sighed. "Because he told me, er, in a way, that Jasmine drove him nuts. I just thought that he wouldn't lie to me."
Yeah. That's the reason.
Hiccup raised his eyebrows. "Really? Are you sure this has nothing to do with your crush on Jack?"
"I've told you a million times, I don't like Jack!" She cried frustrated.
"Uh huh. But now that you guys are actually friends?"
"Hiccup..."
"I just don't see how you got so worked up over this." He said.
"I don't like Jack." She stated.
"Uh huh, sure. Do you still plan on telling him...you know...about how you're Elsa?"
Kate ran over to Hiccup, shoving her hands over his mouth.
"I told you never to say that!" She whispered.
"Sorry," he pushed her hands away. "But, are you? He has a right to know."
"Well, he did. But now I'm not sure."
"He did that to protect you!" Hiccup argued.
Kate looked down shyly. "Yes, I guess so. And I'm not mad at him anymore. He's a good friend for worrying about me enough to do something he didn't want to do. But right now, I can't worry over whether he knows about my hair dye or contacts, okay?"
"Fine. But try at the end of the year?"
"That's only three days away!"
He laughed. "I was hoping you wouldn't remember that."
"Whatever. But don't worry, I get why Jack did it," she smiled.
"Honestly, I'm surprised that you did. Jack's such an idiot."
"I don't want Jasmine on my case, though," she pointed out.
"Yeah. You can thank Jack for that." He smiled.
"You just don't know when to quit, do you?"
"I know that you like him."
"Do not."
"Do too."
"Do not- ugh, just, forget it, I'm am not arguing over this." Kate dropped the subject. Hiccup, on the other hand, had different plans.
"Which means that I am right, and you do."
She sighed heavily. "Fine. Maybe a little bit. But it doesn't matter."
"Yeah it does! He didn't really kiss another girl, he kissed another girl for you!"
She put on a questionable face.
"Hmm, that didn't really sound right, did it?"
"Not in the least," Kate agreed.
"You guys are so complicated."
I agree. It doesn't have to be so complicated if you would tell him.
"I know. Just, drop it, okay?"
"Okay. I'm happy now."
"Alright, go away now. Besides, it's about time to go anyways."
"It's still light out," he complained.
"Summer. Now see you tomorrow," she waved, pushing him out.
"Sheesh, someone gets aggressive."
"Well, I need to redye my hair so, again; bye!"
He walked off, leaving Kate at the door.
She fidgeted with her hands for a minute before going back inside.
She went to her special bag, pulling out the dye remover and the chocolate brown hair dye.
She ran through, removing the dye. She took out her glasses, placing them on her face and continuing.
She missed her glasses, to be perfectly honest. She really didn't like the contacts, they scratched at her eyes. But she had to wear them if she wanted to remain as Kate.
She stared at her blue eyes. They were actually very pretty, but they were so full of sadness. She almost couldn't look at them.
She applied the hair dye, brushing out her long hair with her fingers. After that, she twisted it into a French braid. No sooner, a knock sounded on her door.
She got up to get it.
A girl with wavy brown hair and kind looking eyes stood there.
"Hey, sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if I could use your bathroom?" She asked. "My dorm's on the other side."
"Oh, yeah, no problem," Kate said nervously.
She found it a little strange that the girl couldn't use the public bathroom, but, then again, it wasn't exactly in close range.
"My name's Belle, by the way," the girl said through the door.
"I'm Kate," she said back. She felt extremely thankful that she had already put her dye kit away.
Belle came out. "Thanks again."
"No problem," she smiled.
Belle bit her lip nervously, tugging on her sleeve.
"Okay, it wasn't a coincidence!" She blurted.
"I'm sorry, what?" Kate said.
"Jasmine sent me here to spy on you." She admitted.
"What? But I thought Jack got me off her list."
"Oh, you know about that?" She seemed surprised.
"Wasn't I supposed to?" That seemed like a perfect way to separate her and Jack, and Flynn was often around her, wouldn't he have just shown her anyways?
"Um, anyways, in other words, she wasn't convinced. She's got her eye on you now."
"Oh no, what do I do?" Kate sat down, worried.
"Well, I don't know. Just, be careful. Here, these are the 'instructions' she gave me. You might want to look." Belle handed her a folded slip of paper.
"Thank you," Kate smiled.
"Yeah. Thank you, too. I'm really sorry. See you around," she left then.
Kate watched her go for a second.
Then, she opened the paper.
She gasped, letting it flutter down. It landed face up, the message staring back up at her.
She backed up, stumbling against her bed. Then, she ran to the bathroom.
"Oh no," she said quietly after glimpsing the counter, dashing to her bag.
She shifted through it, eventually dumping the contents out.
Makeup, the bronzer, eye liner, mascara, eye shadow, and lipstick, the hair dye, the dye remover.
But the most important thing was gone.
She ran to the door, flinging it open.
She could swear she heard Belle laughing from across the corridor.
"No," she gasped.
She couldn't go out there! But her contacts...
She brought her hand to cover her eyes.
She slammed the door shut, afraid that someone might see her even though there was no one in the halls.
How had she forgotten? There was a person there and she forgot!
"No," she stated.
She looked back down. The message scrawled out in neat and bubbly handwriting seemed to tear apart her world.
Pretty eyes, Elsa
She could have died then.
So Jasmine knew her secret now.
How had this happened?
She grabbed her phone, dialing a number.
It rang several times.
"Pick up, pick up, pick up," she mumbled, pacing the room.
After what seemed like an eternity, a voice rang through her phone.
"Kate?"
"Catheryn!" She almost shouted.
"Oh, hello sweetie," she greeted.
"Okay, look, this is an emergency. I, um, lost, my contacts, and I can't find the extra. Please tell me there are more back at home?"
"No, sorry. Even if we could mail them to you it wouldn't arrive overnight."
"Can't I go to the local ophthalmologist?"
"Sorry, they wouldn't have your prescription ready in a heartbeat."
"Can you please special order?" She asked. This had happened once before and she had gotten new ones the next day.
"If it's an emergency," she said.
"Thank you so much," Kate said sincerely.
"No problem, give me a second." She hung up the phone.
Kate sat on her bed for ten minutes, impatiently tapping her fingers to a symphony.
When her phone rang she picked it up within a second.
"Yes?"
"They'll be at the Corona Ophthalmologist in the morning at nine."
"Thank you so much," she said again.
"I hope you're having fun. We'll see you in a couple days, okay?" Catheryn said.
"See you then." Kate smiled to herself.
"We love you."
"Love you too," she replied, hitting the end call button.
Oh well. There wasn't too many important things going on tomorrow. She could just skip the morning and be free for the second half of the day.
She sighed. Tomorrow was going to be hectic.
When you're gone for three days, there is going to be a lot of reviews, so only the ones asking questions or really long ones.
CupcakeMonkey567: Jack; hey, Pearlness4700 makes me do all those things!
Pearlness4700; what are you doing out of the story! Get back, now!
Jack; you're no fun
Pearlness4700: oh, go stare at Kate or something
Jack; WHAT DID YOU SAY?!
Pearlness4700; haha...nothing...
moon72: wow, okay, um, okay. Lots of reviews. But thank you, I really enjoy the advice. It actually helps a lot and I try to take it into consideration. For the first one, unsure of something in real life? Haha, no. If the drama seems a little iffy, it's because, like I said, there is literally no drama in my life so I make it. If it's a little unrealistic it's because all of my real knowledge of drama comes from my mind, not real life, sorry. And I will try to fix Kate/Elsa's personality a bit.
TheMashedUpSisters: uh, don't remember. It would be the name of the chapter if there is a song. though
Snowman: it's a story. There are plenty of Fanfics where Elsa's father's goals were very unrealistic for her so there's that in my defense... And no, I don't take offense. If I didn't want those reactions, I wouldn't have ended the chapter letting you all think that Jack was a heartless Satan, now would I? Yeah, I know. There was a little internal conflict over that issue but I just decided to keep it that way. And uh, okaaaaay. And really? I feel like I have but couldn't name any. Oh well. Lol, I'm sure Falcon88 is pleased with you spoiling the story ;P And uh, for the reference, I'll just say I do (I really don't). And the reason for the stalling is because I wanted Hiccup to tell her and if Jack told her at that time it wouldn't make sense for what I have planned. And well, she believes other people *cough cough Hiccup* and he believes Jack. Plus, he knows Jasmine a bit better. And sorry if what she will do is a little unclear, I feel a bit uncomfortable and weird making up a decent bad past for her.
Rose: okay, you are way too overdramatic. Please remember that they're only like, four years older than you. And haha, everyone does:)
Falcon88: got it. And yes, thank you. Well, in a way, I shall agree. Yes, unfortunately, I do. Middle school, you know it, yay! And I totally get you, I'm like, the only one in my group of friends who thinks before they act. I'm often telling them things like, "let's not throw food in the cafeteria" and "don't chase me around, you're a person, not a dog!" Note the person, not human. The fact that they are human is sometimes questionable. And yeah, I know, he fell for it too easily. But there's a reason he did! Sort of, but you get the picture. Everything that happens plays a part in some way or another. Well, not a lot of people will actually stand against Jasmine because it's high school and a story, so she probably won't get any of the stuff she deserves.
TheDerpyMustache: Kate; I am not in a state of depression!
Pearlness4700; oh great, why don't all of you just come out of the story, huh?!
Kate; I was not in a state of depression
Pearlness4700: sure you weren't. Sure you weren't.
I don't really know how I would make a sequel to this. I doubt I will but I'll make the end so absolutely fanfastic that you will be satisfied, how about that? ^-^
ATA: haha, yeah...if something doesn't make sense, there's a 50-50 chance I messed up or something.
Kat Way: coolness! My best friend plays the flute! And I play alto saxophone:)
Kat Biersack: I'm sorry! I mean no offense to all the Jasmines of the world!
Okay, thank you guys so much and enjoy the rest of your day! See you tomorrow!
