A/N: I'M SO SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG TO UPDATE. School started again and it has been a crazy month :'( I want my holiday back.
I intended this chapter to be a little longer but right now this is all I could come up with lol. Enjoy!
Elsa thought that this was the noisiest week she has ever experienced in any of the schools she had ever gone to.
Every ten minutes, she would hear the other students chanting for the school soccer team. The final match was just days away and nearly every student was pumped up with adrenaline for the whole week. Banners, flags, posters were everywhere. Some students painted their faces blue, which earned a detention from several teachers. Most of the students just couldn't focus on the lessons, and most teachers just gave up.
"Elsa!" she heard a familiar voice.
As usual, Elsa was walking in a less crowded hallway when Anna caught up to her. She hadn't seen the redhead all week. They texted each other sometimes, but nothing particularly substantial.
"I haven't seen you all week! Really, you should tell me how to disappear like that, it might come in handy when the teacher asks for my math homework," Anna huffed.
Elsa couldn't help but grinned. "I'm sorry. How are you, Anna?"
"I'm fine," Anna crossed her arms. "How are you? You didn't pick up your phone, I've been looking for you all day."
"I'm so sorry, I left my phone at home by accident," Elsa answered. It was the truth.
"Oh, that's okay," Anna's expression softened. "We're still on tomorrow night, right?"
Elsa blinked. "What?"
Anna smiled sheepishly. "You know, the match? We're going together?"
"Oh, oh! Yes, of course," Elsa felt her face flushed.
"Don't forget to text me your address, I'll pick you up tomorrow," Anna started to jump from the excitement. "I just can't wait."
"Neither can everyone, it seems," Elsa gestured to the huge glaring blue banner behind Anna.
Anna grinned. "Yes, it's so euphoric, isn't it? I really hope they win this championship. Kristoff is so pumped up. They didn't even make it this far last year. They've been practicing like crazy these past few weeks."
"I know," Elsa sighed, more to herself than Anna.
Anna almost raised an eyebrow at that but caught herself. Of course Elsa would know, she had been tutoring Hans because of it. Anna decided that someday she would approach the topic with Elsa, but that day wasn't today.
Elsa didn't seem to notice her slight slip up. "Are you sure you're okay with picking me up? I mean, we can just meet at the place—"
"Nah, it's okay, really!" Anna assured her. "It's gonna be so crowded there, it's gonna be a little difficult to find each other if we go separately."
"Alright then," Elsa smiled. "I'll see you tomorrow?" She asked hesitantly, hopefully.
"Totally!" Anna beamed at Elsa.
Anna walked fast in the hallways, heading for her next class, her mind racing. She totally felt it. She definitely felt the cold, and she didn't know how long she could ignore it anymore. She always felt the cold when she's around the blonde girl. It wasn't too cold, it didn't even bother her, but she could definitely feel the change from the usual temperature. Then the cold would disappear when she and Elsa parted ways, every single time. It definitely had something to do with Elsa. What else was Anna supposed to think?
"You're overthinking it," Megara told her after the redhead cornered her in an empty toilet. "I swear, I've never felt anything. No cold, no nothin'."
"It's just weird," Anna's voice was just a whisper. "It certainly never happened before with anyone, only when I'm with her."
"Maybe you're just imagining it," Megara insisted.
"No, I'm not," Anna insisted back. "I know what I feel, Meg. There's something different about her."
Megara looked at her long and hard. Anna could see the wheels turning in her head. The redhead looked right back at her friend expectantly.
Megara eventually sighed. "This was a bad idea."
"What's the bad idea?"
"You being friends with her," Megara crossed her arms, ignoring Anna's shocked expression. "I warned you not to bother her, but you wouldn't listen, I didn't want you to scare her off for real so I asked her to be nice and give you a chance."
"Which she did, and we were getting to be good friends," Anna's voice was a little louder than usual. She could feel her face flushed from anger. Megara asked what? Of course she was grateful that Elsa gave her a chance, but Anna didn't like hearing that Megara basically ordered the blonde to get along with Anna, for some reason.
She had felt a little special. She thought out of everyone in the school, she was the first and only one that was able to start making cracks on Elsa's walls.
"But if this cold thing that you said is true, that you could sense it—" Megara sighed exasperatedly. "Anna, I didn't mean for this to happen."
"What is it?" Anna demanded, she took a step forward towards her friend. "What isn't supposed to happen? What's going on?"
"Look, it's complicated, okay? It involves other people, and it's not my secret to tell," Megara looked pained.
"So you do know something," Anna raised her voice. "How come?"
Megara looked away. "Wrong place, wrong time." She looked at the redhead again. "Wrong people."
"So you saw or heard something," Anna narrowed her eyes. Her voice was getting much louder. "Well, you better let me know what you know because I'm sick of guessing and having you dismiss it like it was nothing. It wasn't really 'nothing' after all. You know something and you keep it from me!"
"Nobody else even knows anything, and it's supposed to be that way!" Megara was shouting now.
"Well I'm not a nobody, I'm your friend!" Anna shouted right back at Meg's face.
"Exactly, you're my friend, so I don't want you to get hurt in any way!"
"She's my friend too. She would never hurt me!"
"I heard shouting!" A man's voice boomed in from right outside of the toilet. Both Megara and Anna froze.
"Let's take it easy and settle this outside, shall we?" The man's voice boomed again.
He seemed to be standing by the door. Anna recognized it as one of the teacher's voice, but she didn't know exactly who. Anna also heard a few other muffled voices. Oh crap. Anna mentally facepalmed. The other students were right outside.
"If you don't come out this instance, I'm gonna have to get in there and get you out myself before you girls start pulling each other's hair," the man ordered.
Megara rolled her eyes. "Really? Pulling each other's hair, really?" Megara didn't even bother to keep her voice down. "I'd like to see you come in here for real."
"Do not push me, Megara," the man's voice turned cold. Anna recognized that voice now, he was Megara's homeroom teacher. "I'm giving you exactly ten seconds to get out of there."
"Fine," Megara turned and walked to the door without sparing Anna another glance and got out. Anna was left standing there alone, mortified.
"Who else was in there?" Anna could hear him questioning Megara right outside.
"Nobody," Megara answered simply.
"I'm done taking this kind of attitude from you, young lady," the man reprimanded her. "Come out, whoever you are!" He barked.
Anna's mind went blank and her feet went on autopilot and took her outside eventually. The sight that greeted her made her face burn in shame. There were at least ten students staring at them in amazement, amusement, and horror. She recognized most of them, Belle was there staring at her disbelievingly. She felt so helpless now, like she was a criminal that finally surrendered after a standoff that lasted for hours.
"It was my fault," Megara spoke up before anyone could say anything. Anna stared at her in shock wordlessly.
"I wanted to say 'of course it was', but as per standard procedure, you both are going to my office now," the teacher announced.
"Procedure," Megara scoffed. "What is this, crime drama?"
Anna wanted to slap Megara to shut her up. Megara did have a reputation for getting in trouble with some teachers for her attitude, but it was the first time Anna saw just how dangerously brave Megara could really get.
The teacher ignored Megara's comment and gestured to both girls to follow him. The little crowd had started to disperse. Anna saw one guy that she recognized as one of Hans' friends giving her a thumb up discreetly.
Suddenly, I'm the school's bad girl. Anna wanted to cry. She hadn't even completed her first ever detention.
"Anna, please," Kristoff pleaded over the phone.
"I don't wanna talk about it," Anna whined into her phone. She grabbed a pillow and slammed it over her forehead.
"I normally wouldn't care about stuff like this, but it's you and Meg," Kristoff said.
"So what if it's me and her?" Anna scoffed.
"Well, you guys are—as strange as it is—best friends. And you're my best friend too, so I gotta know this stuff."
"Ugh!" Anna growled into a pillow. "How did you hear about it anyway? Wait, don't answer that."
"Flynn was talking about it after practice. I think she heard it from Aurora or someone," Kristoff chuckled. "Relax, Anna. They'll forget all about it by Monday."
"What did you even hear from Flynn?"
"Uh...that you and Meg had a catfight in the toilet?"
"It wasn't a catfight!" Anna threw her pillow across her room frustatedly. "Seriously, does every person think a disagreement between two girls is always a catfight? We just raised our voices at each other, that's all."
Anna told Kristoff what happened that day. He listened intently, and was silent for a few seconds afterwards.
"So she did acknowledge that something was going on," Kristoff said slowly. "She admitted that she knew something.
"She even briefly acknowledged the cold thing, before she caught herself," Anna said. "Kristoff, you don't think I'm crazy, do you? I truly feel it everytime I'm with Elsa, and it's the strangest thing ever."
Kristoff was silent again for a few seconds. Anna could almost hear the wheels turning in Kristoff's head.
"Anna, I'm not siding with anyone here," Kristoff said slowly. "But you need to take Meg's warning into consideration. She knows something, you should at least trust her judgment."
"You're saying I should believe that befriending Elsa could hurt me?"
"We still don't know anything about the girl—"
"Gee, and while we're at it, let's do a background check on her," Anna rolled her eyes. "If it's the cold that Meg was worried about, then she got nothing to worry about. The cold doesn't bother me. It's strange, but it doesn't freeze me or anything so it should be okay."
Kristoff sighed. Anna could tell he surrendered. For now.
"You really gotta sleep," Anna's tone softened. "The game's tomorrow. You should save your energy."
"I won't be able to sleep, I'm kinda nervous," he chuckled. "You're coming tomorrow, right? With your blonde?"
"Yeah," Anna silently blushed at the way Kristoff referred to Elsa as 'her blonde'. "I actually was gonna pick Meg up too, but I think we're still not talking right now. I don't blame her, I got her into detention."
"She'll be fine, she's tougher than you," Kristoff laughed. "I don't think she's that mad at you if she really took the whole blame before you even said anything." His tone softened. "You're currently still doing your own detention so she didn't wanna add another in your list. She cares about you, you know."
"Well, the teacher was already biased against her," Anna shrugged guiltily. "She's still not replying my texts. I screwed up big time, didn't I?"
"Nah, she just needed some time to cool off. You know how hot headed she can be," Kristoff assured her. "Look, I'll text her to let her know I'll be expecting to see her in the bleachers."
"Okay," Anna exhaled in relief. She felt better after talking to the boy. "Thanks, Kristoff. Good luck."
"Thanks, Anna. I'll see you and Elsa tomorrow night."
