Chapter 3 - Transferee

[ Elsa ]

5 Days Later

"What?!" I stomped my hand on the table and stood from my chair. "Go to boarding school?! Why?!" I almost screamed.

"Elsa..." my mother began and rose from her chair. "That boarding school is the most prestigious school in the North! I expect you to be more thrilled for the opportunity to study there!" Mom said in her high-pitched, queen voice.

"Your mother is right Elsa." My father stood from his chair too and placed his hand on mom's shoulder to calm her down.

"But I thought you wanted to teach me how to rule a kingdom!" I defended.

I don't want to leave Arendelle! I'll be really homesick if I live in another place. Plus, I don't think that the school they enrolled me to has How to Rule a Kingdom 101 on their curriculum even though it is 'the most prestigious in the North'.

I'm the next heir to the throne and I need to be ready!

"Elsa. First, we want you to have an exceptional education before we teach you more on how to rule" Mother explained.

"I get exceptional education here, in the castle! My teachers aee exquisite, aren't they?"

"The reason why we want to send you there is so you can 'mingle' with other sorts of people so when you're Queen, consulting and talking to others won't be a problem for you." my Dad explained.

Realization suddenly got to my brain, why rule a kingdom if you don't know much? I study inside the castle, the teachers are all exclusive but they only teach me the basics and some advanced lessons on different subjects, there's not much challenge! Obviously they only teach me what they think I should know in my life and for when I'm a ruler, I'll know.

I almost forgot that one job of the reigning leader is to help others by talking to them personally, one-on-one. It isn't necessarily done often but it's an occasional thing my parents do. Being the shy and isolated person that I am, I find talking to other people pretty hard to do.

"It's about time you got out of your room and socialize" my mom added.

My confidence broke, a sigh escaped my mouth. She's right.

"You're intelligent, Elsa. You know that." Dad remarked. He walked to me and placed an assuring hand on my shoulder, "We know you'll be able to extent and use your knowledge efficiently there."

I straightened up and nodded at him, "Fine. I'll go" then I gave him a hug.

It would have taken years to persuade me to leave Arendelle but I know my parents wouldn't push me into this if it wasn't for my own good. Boarding school never came across my mind but if it makes my parents happy and if it is for the greater common good of everybody, then I'm cool with it.

"Besides, Anna will be there anyway." Dad said while pulling away.

My eyes widened, how could I forget?! Anna has been going to that school ever since she became a freshman two years ago. She decided to enroll because she's bummed being homeschooled, there's no one else to talk to...besides me. My parents let her and now, it's like being there is the best decision she's ever made. With that being said, you'd think I should be thrilled about the idea too, but sadly, I'm not. I forgot all about her because being so far away, we drifted apart. We're not as close anymore. Heck! We don't talk unless it's necessary or we have a question for each other. Honestly, I don't really think much of her.

"You should start packing." Dad suggested.

"Okay." I nodded.

I walked over to my mom and hugged her, "Your flight is in two days, we've already arranged everything and we'll talk about the other details tomorrow" Mom said.

"You really planned this!" I exclaimed and pulled away to look at her.

My parents both chuckled at my surprised look. "We know you'll accept." Dad said, walking towards us.

"Right" a gentle smirk formed on my lips. I walked out of the room without saying another word.

Going back to my room, I shut the door behind me. I grabbed my luggage, the one I used when I went to Punzie's kingdom, and another gigantic luggage inside my closet. I started packing all my clothes and left the ones I don't always use.

Anna's already at the academy, she boarded early this year; probably because of her boyfriend, Kristoff. I don't know if I'll share a dorm with her or if I'll have my own. Whatever way, I have to be prepared. It's just a new school and new people, just high school! What could possibly go wrong? Right?

2 Days Later

With a wide stretch, I slowly opened my eyes and let light seep through. I'm in my dorm that I share with Hiccup; I've already moved in a couple of days ago and all my stuffs are unpacked. I turn around and saw Hiccup already up and using his laptop. He looks busy and focused, like always. "Morning Nerdy." I teased.

"Hey Prince." he teased back, his gaze never left the screen and his typing just got louder and faster.

"What are you so busy with?" I asked.

"Stuff." he blurted out.

I rolled my eyes; Hiccup has always been the smart one and whenever something interesting comes up, he always looks it up or does research about them; he won't rest until he fully understands it.

I finally found the urge to get out of bed and head inside the bathroom. I shut the door behind me and looked at the mirror, I saw my tired eyes full of morning stars. I turned the faucet on and washed my face.

Today is the last day before classes start, every student has already moved in their dorms, unpacked their stuff and got their schedules. My plan for today is to play basketball with my fellow teammates. I'm a member of the team, basketball is a really fun sport I love to play. Did I mention that my fellow teammates call me 'Prince'? The coach thought I was a real Prince and has called me that ever since. Now I know why Hiccup wants my mysterious dance partner to be called 'princess'.

I looked back up at the mirror and saw something different. My hair! It's turning white again, to my 'Jack Frost' hair. It looks weird, almost the entire right side's brown dye has faded, the brown is only hanging on the hair tips. I rolled my eyes. I actually love my brown hair, it's my disguise and it brings me back a hint of humanity. I didn't bring any new brown hair dye with me but I can't go out looking like this! I have a reputation to keep, and that's being well dressed and be good looking. The dye looks like it can be washed out now with just water, might as well just rinse it out and when the weekend comes I'll buy a new hair dye and dye my hair back to brown.

I finished showering and got out of the bathroom, fully dressed. I saw a red haired girl sitting by the desk. She turned to me and immediately, her eyes widened. Hiccup turned his spinning chair around to face me too. He gasped in shock and his eyes widened.

"Jack Overland!" Merida exclaimed and stood up, sprinting to me. She touched my hair and felt it.

"Whoa dude! Remind me to dye my hair next time!" Hiccup said.

I chuckled at his sudden reaction, "Is it good?" I asked. They don't know this is my natural hair color.

"Good?! It looks better on you!" Merida smacked my back.

"Because it came from you, I'm taking girls will like it?" I faced Merida.

She smiled and nodded. "All the girls" she gestured her hands to the door "will fangirl!" she finished.

"She's right!" Hiccup pointed to Merida.

I laughed at the two of them, I made them starstrucked by me! I'm gonna go to practice now." I said, walking to the door.

"Wearing jeans?" Merida crossed her arms.

"My uniform's in the locker room!" I said walking out the door and waving them a goodbye.

As I pass through the crowded hallways of my dorm's building, girls would stare at me and gasp in awe. Some would even scream in excitement...literally scream! I ignore them, I'm used to all the attention. It's funny how before no one sees me but not everyone does.

"Mr Popular!" I saw my friend, Kristoff, waving at me. I ran to him and he's with the rest of the team. "Nice to see you bro!" he shook my hand.

"Nice hairdo man!" Eugene came from behind Kris.

"Thanks!" I said with a swift brush on my hair.

Eugene chuckled, "We ready to practice men?!" Eugene asked cheerfully while looking over his shoulder. "Yeah!" the team responded.

"Let's go!" My teammates added then we all cheered.

We were so loud, I felt like everyone looked at us. This is how we are every new school year, we'd always train and practice a day before classes start. That's how we prepare for our championship games. Kristoff, Eugene and I walked side-by-side, with out arms over each others' shoulders. We lead the team and happily marched to the court. Five steps later and suddenly something struck my foot.

"Owww!" I screamed in pain. "What the heck!" I screamed, grabbing my right leg.

"Oh my gosh! I am so so so sorry!" a girl came up to me, panicking.

I looked up and saw a slender girl in pink shaking her hands abruptly in panic. "You stepped on me!" I shout at her and almost lost my balance when I straightened up to face her. I looked down at her feet; she's wearing stilettos and it's high! The same type of stilettos Sandra Bullock wore in 'The Proposal', only hers is light pink in color.

"I didn't mean it! I'm sorry!" she apologized.

I got a good look at her, her blonde hair is up in a braid and she has bright eyes. "Look at me!" I stretched my arms out. She stared and start to observe me, head to toe.

"Umm..." she uttered.

"I am tall and so are you! How can you not see me?!" I said.

"Look! I said I'm sorry!" she gestured to herself.

"No! Don't apologize for something you intended!"

"It was an accident. Honest mistake!" she exclaimed.

"Oh really?" I crossed my arms.

She breathed aloud and rolled her eyes. Her lips straightened and her hands were on her hips. I felt all the people stare at us now. "I'm already apologizing to you and yet you're so full of pride!" she said.

"That" she walked closer, "was an accident."

Our faces inches apart, "This!" She stomped her foot and pinned it on my right foot again

"Owwwww!" I screamed in pain and bend to my leg. My friends all reacted in shock and some teasingly cooed. "is the one you call intentional!" she finished.

"What the hell?!" I bent down and grabbed my foot, I started unlacing my shoes and hear the girl's footsteps walk away.

My friends all rush to me and I hear them murmur. "Jack! You alright?" Eugene helped me up just as I undid my shoe. Kristoff helped Eugene and they sat me down on one of the nearby benches just by the building's wall. People followed and they start to gather around us. "What the heck was that all about..." Kristoff uttered.

"Hey hey hey!" A girl's voice cut through the crowd

"Excuse me! Anna coming through!" the same voice ringed through my ear. Eugene and Kristoff turned around and saw Anna coming for us.

"Hey babe!" Kris kissed Anna on the cheek.

"Hello." she greeted. "Anyone wanna tell me what the fuss is all about?" she asked.

"This girl hurt Jack's foot." One of my teammates said then some of them laughed.

"What? Someone disrespected a member of the Big Five?!" she start to get all protective. "Who is she? Where is she at?!" she made a fist and clapped it with her other hand.

"We don't know her. She looks new." Eugene said. I nodded, I realized that the girl may be a transferee. But remembering the blue eyes she has, I think I've seen her before.

"Describe her! I'll hunt her down!" Anna pounded her fist.

"Umm, a blonde right?" Kristoff turn to me. I nod.

"Pale skin and pink dress." Eugene added.

Anna's stern look suddenly faded, her eyes widened and she stopped the 'fist thing'. It seems as though she got a realization-struck. "Uh, braided hair?" she turn to Eugene "Yeah, how'd you know?"

"Skin white as snow and blue eyes?" Anna turn to me; I looked at her strangely, why do I get the feeling she knows who she is?

She turn to Kris and her jaw dropped. "Ooh! We're gonna have to take a rain check on hunting her!" she said tensely.

"Anna." I called her. "Do you know her or are you just a good guesser?" I asked and felt my foot go numb. I pulled it close and secretly, I conjured a small block of ice to massage my foot with.

"Who?" she asked.

"The girl who did this!" I gestured to my swollen feet.

"Ohh...uhh..." she start to stumble. She bit her lip and start to tangle her fingers with each other. "Geez Jack... How do I break this to you..." she scratched the back of her head. "Well. Umm, that girl is actually my sister."
