My eyes flutter open into the pitch dark room. "It's morning.", I state aloud and annoyed. My arm stretches out to the night stand next to me, as I go to turn the light on. The light brings the room into picture.
The plain white walls, the long, tattered curtains hanging from the window, my closet, all of it suddenly illuminated. " Elsa! You need to get up and get going!", my mother hollers from the hall. I don't respond, waiting for my body to wake up. After a few moments, I sit up and slide from under my sheets.
I trot to my closet door, wiping the sleep from my eyes. I stretch as I open the door to grab my white, long-sleeved buttoned shirt off the hanger and the short black skirt. 'Back to this again,', I think to myself, looking at the skirt in hand. I slip out of my night gown and slide on the black skirt over my legs. I leave it unbuttoned as I put on my shirt and clasp each button.
I tuck the shirt into my skirt and then button the skirt slowly. I look at the mirror on my wall and see my reflection, how my uniform hugs my body. Then, the top three buttons pop open, relieving the pressure of my breasts. "Dammit.", I mumble under my breath as I look at the ceiling. I look back at the mirror and look at my, now visible, skin, " She may appreciate that.", I say with a playful smile.
"Elsa! You have to go!", my mom bellows. " Feeling the love Mom!", I reply, my smug grin growing on my lips as I button the top of my shirt back into place. I grab my black flats and slip them on. I pat myself down, making sure I'm completely ready. Then I remember, 'My hair.', I think as I grab my brush.
I feel the brush flow through my soft, white hair. I grab all of my locks and tie them up into the bun. I look at myself again, 'Better.', I think, patting myself down once more. I grab my dark blue bag off my bed and rush out of my bedroom
I run down the hall to find my mother sitting at the kitchen table, she looks up at me, "Well, hello gorgeous.", she states. "You aren't so bad yourself.", I say as I peck her on the cheek, on my way towards the door. " Don't forget to pick up Olaf!", she yells after me. "Of course!", I reply shutting the door into the soft, winter air. 'Here I come, little wildfire.', I say to myself as I begin to walk.
I feel the snow crunching beneath my shoes, the cold air hitting my platinum locks as I walk. I ponder the thought of seeing her again. 'I bet she's gonna look so cute in the school uniform. The bun, the shirt, the skirt. Oh, the skirt...' " Elsa!", my train of thought is cut off as I see the small, smiling ginger boy running towards me.
Before I get a word out, he hugs my side and squeezes. "Haha, the warmest hugs ever, Olaf.", I say as I put my hand on his shoulder. "Ready to go?", I ask as he pulls away from me. "Most definitely!", he replies with an ear to ear grin.
We began the walk in the quiet winter day, my thoughts taking hold of my mind once again. 'What if this winter breeze blows the skirt up? What if MY winter breeze blows her skirt up?', I giggle to myself, a sly grin growing on my lips. I feel a breeze tickle my neck, bringing me back to reality.
I look to my side for Olaf but only to find he wasn't there. "Hey, where'd you go little man?", I yell out. I start walking forward a little more, looking around for the little boy.
I stop dead in my tracks when I see Olaf, standing next to an annoyed and beautiful, fiery redhead.
Her fair skin is glowing in the soft, cool air. The uniform fits her perfectly. The bun gives her a hot, professional look. Excitement lulls over my body as I see her for the first time in forever. "Okay, Elsa. Be confident. Conceal, don't feel, she doesn't know.", I whisper to myself as I make my way towards the two.
" Why would we be-?, I overhear the girl say as I cut in, "So, I see you've made a new friend?". She turns around and our eyes meet. 'Oh, how I've missed you.', I say to myself, watching her eyes wander down my body. 'I should probably ruin her fun', " Umm, my eyes are up here.", I say knowingly, pointing to my eyes.
Her eyes snap to mine once more and she blushes, "I-I'm sorry, I just...", she tries to say again, I cut her off again, " It's fine, you're cute.", I admit honestly. Her face gets even redder as she blushes even more, 'Her skin isn't so fair anymore. This is so adorable, seeing her struggle.', I think to myself, grinning. "Hi, I'm Elsa.". I wait a few moments, " Do you want to walk to school together?", I say, looking at the time.
'Let's see her squirm a little more.', I think to myself. "As much fun as it is to have such a pretty girl gawking at me, I think we should start walking.", I admit, watching her face turn to a crimson red. 'She's not talking... I'll have to tone it down a little.', I say to myself as I grab her hand and pull her along to begin walking.
I look back to find Olaf slowly trotting behind us. 'Thank you, Olaf.', I think as I continue walking forward. My excitement of her touch sends cold signals to my hand, entwined with hers. "By the way, my name's Anna.", she finally says. "I know.", I reply in a whisper. " What?", Anna asks, confused. "I said, what a pretty name.", I fib, my grin growing on my lips.
After a few moments of walking, we reach the front steps of the school. 'Here we go again.', I think as I look up the steps leading to the main building. Anna's hand in mine, I walk her up the steps slowly, letting my fellow students soak in the gorgeous girl walking these halls for the first time. I catch a few wandering eyes from those passing by, 'Watch where you're looking, she is everything but yours.', I think, keeping my head up and forward.
I watch Olaf run off to his little friends, he waves at me, I return the wave with a smile. Then, I look back at Anna, she looks scared, confused, overwhelmed. I don't like it. 'I'll walk her to her first class, keep her away from all of the new bodies and... keep her hand in mine.' I stop right in front of main hall, she runs into the back of me.
Our hands still together, I look back at her. "Well?", I ask, waiting. "What?",she asks confused. " Your schedule, Anna. I kinda need to take you to your class., 'Let's sell it...', I quickly say in my head. "I mean, as much as I love walking with you and holding your hand.", I admit, honestly.
I watch as she rips her hand from mine and pushes it into her skirt pocket. The loss of contact ached. 'You better find that paper soon, little wildfire.', I think as she fumbles in her pocket. She finally grabs it and hands the slightly wrinkled, folded paper to me. I scan it briefly.

I grin at the first teacher. " I have art right now for...", she begins as she looks at the paper, shaking. "...Mrs. Ezra.", she looks up to me for a reaction. "Oh hey, look at that, that's my class.", I say as an ear to ear smile spreads across my face, looking back at the paper.
'This is going to be lovely.', I think to myself, still smiling. I look back to Anna and offer my arm to her. She looks shocked but takes my invitation. We begin to walk down the hall, Anna locked in my arm. We turn the corner and then a guy eyes us. No, not us. Anna. My Anna..
8:06 PM
I can feel his gaze on her, I hear his footsteps stop, I stop. Anna unhooks her arm and turns around, I stay looking forward, " What do you want, kid?", I say with a venomous tone. He replies with a sly tongue, "I just wanted to see what the big was, had the Snow Queen calling dibs.". I cringe at the use of my nickname.
'She doesn't know, idiot.', I remark in my thoughts. "Well, you have seen her, now you can go.", I say, patience waring thin. "Maybe I like what I see.", he admits with a grin. I feel my nerves on end, the cold seeping through my pores. 'Conceal, don't feel, she doesn't know.', I repeat in my head over and over, trying to convince myself. I hear a slight whisper behind me,
"Elsa-", 'Conceal, don't feel, she doesn't know. Conceal, don't... fuck it.', "How about you leave now and I'll pretend you never laid eyes on her.", I command to the vexing figure. I turn to look at him, I glare at the stupid grin on his face.
"Elsa, come on, we're going to be late.", Anna says in the midst of the silence. Then I come to realize. 'She said my name... twice. My name. It just rolled off her tongue...", I snap my attention to her. She looks at me, knowingly. I nod my head, disregarding the disgruntled boy behind us. I grab her hand once more and pull her towards me. I tear my eyes from her and look forward, guiding each other through the hall.
Looks like A wild fire will be spreading into all the boy's heart. Great. ~Elsa
