Elsa's POV
I sat on my blue comforter, my body snuggled up against the large fluffy body pillow beside me, when a text snapped me out of my daydreams.
Emma: Jack needs your help right away
Emma was my best friend, Jack's, younger sister. The fact that he needed help was baffling considering he follows the guy code of never showing 'weakness'. This must be a real emergency.
I hopped into my car, following the familiar path to his house.
Out of habit, I checked my appearance in the mirror before going towards the door. I knocked and rang the doorbell a few times with no response.
"Jack?" I called. "You home?"
It didn't take long after that for the handsome Jack Frost to open up the door. His snow white hair was ruffled on his head. He wore a pair of brown pants, his favorite blue hoodie, and his teeth almost seemed to sparkle as the sun hit them.
"Hey Els" Jack greeted. "What brings you here?"
Makes sense; Emma didn't tell him she was asking me for help.
"I'm not actually sure" I admit. It probably was stupid of me to drive here without trying to text him first. I gave Jack an awkward laugh. "Your sister texted me saying you needed my help."
"Well, I'm fine. But if you're free, I could use some company."
I felt a giggle escape my lips, as a smirk lit up his face. Jack never seems to change.
I set my stuff down, and walked towards Jack's room.
Jack's room was a darker shade of blue than mine, and had various poster hung. It was the typical teenage room. The main thing that appeared different was the wall dedicated to hockey trophies, photos, quotes, and his personal gear against the wall.
I myself was into figure skating and had my own trophies. Jack and I had had some fun on the ice before.
"A guy asked me out this morning" I told Jack. I typically tell him every detail of my life. The only thing I had really failed to mention was who I was crushing on.
"Asked...he asked you out?" Jack asked.
I nodded my head.
"Who?"
"Luke Adams" I told him. My mouth became impressed with the way the words rolled off my tongue. Luke was just...Luke. Something about him just said cool. However, that too cool for school player was definitely not my type.
"Luke Adams!" Jack repeated. "The Luke Adams? Football star Luke, who dates a new girl like every week?"
"Glad to see you have heard of him" I giggled.
"Why?" Jack asked.
I arched my brow, a tiny bit frustrated by the question. Still I kept my cool, and decided to have some fun."Believe it or not, some guys actually find me to be dateable." Unlike you Jack.
"N-no" Jack stuttered. "I didn't mean it like that. You are definitely datable. I mean you are really attractive… It's just that he is Luke Adams."
"So, what...am I not attractive enough for him?" I asked.
To my surprise, Jack continued to take this seriously. "O-of course not" Jack paused for a second. "You are probably the most attractive girl I know…"
My laughter cut him off. "I was kidding" I tell him. "But thank you."
Jack rubbed the nape of his neck, as he often does, and awkwardly stood there. "Right. So what did you say?"
"I didn't exactly answer. I didn't want to reject him; there were too many people around" I explained. "But I didn't want to say yes either, so I kind of put it off."
"Oh" Jack replied. He seemed happy I hadn't agreed, or was this my imagination getting the best of me. "Well, you are going to have to answer him sooner or later."
"Yeah, I know. The thing is I kind of have my eyes on someone else" I admitted, staring up at his blue eyes.
"May I ask who?"
A gave him a small laugh. "You can ask, but I shall not answer."
"Well, I happen to have my eye on someone as well" Jack countered.
"Who is the lucky lady?"
"The prettiest girl in all of Disney Dream High School."
I gave Jack a small groan. "Don't tell me you only like her for her looks."
"Oh trust me when I say she has way more to offer than her her looks."
I felt my blood boiling at the goofy grin plastered on Jack's face. I mentally went through a list of every girl I had ever seen Jack talking to. The problem was he talks to a lot of girls.
"I know better than to like a girl for her looks" Jack continued. "I've only heard your speech on guys who do that one thousand times."
"I'm glad to hear it stuck" I tell him, with a laugh.
"Yeah, this girl is really something though." And here we go again on this. "The problem is I never know how to make a move."
"Just say it" I demand, my anger suddenly pouring out. "I would be lying if I said there aren't many girls dying for a guy to just make a move."
"Hey" Jack argued. "This is the 21st century, guys don't have to be the one to make a move anymore."
"I agree" I admitted with a small smile. "But I must admit it it quite nerve racking to do so."
Which is probably why I haven't.
*TIME SKIP*
Once again, I sat on my bed staring into the distance. This time my phone sat in front of me, but I didn't feel like using it.
"Hey sis" Anna called, barging into my room. "Wanna hang out?"
"Sorry, but I just texted Jack and he's coming over." A smile spread onto my lips before I could stop it.
"Oh, I see" Anna began. "Your boyfriend is coming over." She raised her eyebrows suggestively.
"We are not dating" I clarified. "And we are just friends."
"'Friends'" Anna mocked with quotations. "Right. Except Jack happens to be drooling over you."
"He does not!" I protest. Still, why did the thought sound so appealing to me?
"He does!"
"Does not!"
"Does!"
"Anna this is stupid" I argue. "Jack does not see me as more than a friend."
"He does, and I can prove it" Anna told me. "Just follow me before Jack gets here."
I raise an eyebrow in suspicion.
"Trust me on this Elsa" Anna pleaded.
"Fine" I agreed. "But this is only going to prove we are just friends."
Anna rushed me to one of our spare bedrooms and told me to wait behind the door.
"What?" Jack asked, as him and Anna arrived at the door a little bit later. I imagined Anna glaring at him.
"What are your intentions with my sister?" Anna asked. Way to get straight to the point.
"What?" Jack repeated. I going to have to apologize for this later.
"You heard me!" Anna argued . "I know you like her, so what are your intentions."
"I do not like her as more than a friend" Jack told her. Who called that one? "Besides, I would never do anything to hurt her."
"Sure" Anna replied sarcastically. "I've heard enough. You are just another Luke Adams in lust with my sister. It is only a matter of time before you break her heart."
"Okay, fine. I do like your sister, but I won't hurt her. I think she'd have to like me for that to happen anyways."
The disappointment in his voice almost made me believe him. Could Jack actually have a crush on me? We are so different, and while I didn't mind I assumed he would.
"I don't buy it" Anna protested.
"It is the truth" Jack shot back. "Just let me talk to Elsa!"
"I don't buy it" Anna repeated. She really wants to push his buttons.
"Fine" Jack agreed loudly. "I LOVE ELSA, happy!"
"Extremely" Anna replied.
I felt my face grow warm as the door opened, causing my eyes to meet Jack's. God, this was such a bad plan.
Jack looked...mortified. It was a look I had never really seen on him, and he wore it cutely.
Jack lifted his hood, covering part of his hair, while he roatated his weight between his two feet.
"Well...I'll leave you alone" Anna told us, a smile lighting up her features.
I locked eyes with Jack again before he tore his gaze away.
"Sorry Els" he whispered.
I stared at the back of his hood, a confused look on my face. "Sorry?"
"I shouldn't have said that" he admitted, still refusing to face me.
"Did you mean it?" I asked. He finally turned around. I knew my eyes were shining with sadness, as my heart thumped in my chest.
"Mean what?"
Jackson Overland Frost you know! "Love me?" I whispered, my voice barely there. "Do you love me?"
I felt stupid to ask the question. I knew the answer even before he spoke.
I watched him stare at me, deciding his words. "Do I love you?" He asked finally. "No."
I felt my heart break, my eyes watering. How could one simple two letter word be so painful to hear. "Oh" I squeaked. "I...that makes sense."
"Yeah, sorry for lying to your sister."
"No problem" I told him. I smiled weakly, trying to hide the pain.
"What's the matter?" Jack asked.
"Nothing" I snapped. "I'm fine, and you know what, I am going to say yes to Luke."
I felt the heat rise to my cheeks at the random aggression I had just had. I didn't want to go on a date with Luke.
"You don't even like him!" Jack shot back.
"I don't know that" I admitted. "I haven't even talked to him. He may be really great."
"He only likes you for your looks" Jack argued.
"Just give me one reason!" I demanded. Why does he care?
"I...I don't want you to" he admitted. I thought I saw just a bit of jealously. I needed to push it further.
"Jackson Overland Frost you are not leaving until you tell me one good reason why I cannot date him!"
Jack stared off in the distance, his eyes weighed down. He was having a war with himself.
"Elsa" he said with a sigh.
"Just tell me!" I demand again.
"You won't understand!"
"Yes, I will!" I protest.
He stared deeply into my eyes, his hand guiding my shoulder. "First, tell me this. Who do you have your eyes on?"
"I will not tell you anything!" I yelled, rotating my shoulder out of his grip. "Not unless you tell me your reason."
"I like you, okay" Jack admitted.
My heart full on stopped at the words.
"You just had to be so damn perfect that you are out of everyone's league."
He turned around to leave, looking completely broken.
I felt a smile form on my face. I reached my hand out and touched his shoulder.
"I never told you who I like" I reminded him with a sly smile. "However, I might not like him anymore." I turned his body si he faced me. "I think he gives up a little bit too easily."
Jack just stood there confused for a moment. Finally, a light bulb seemed to have gone off. "It isn't me right?"
I gave him a mischievous smile. "I like guys who are 'out of my league'" I admitted using finger quotations.
I felt Jack's arms pull me in. For once I didn't have to think, I just let my heart take over, and my lips move with Jack's. I had never felt anything so right.
"I have dreamt about that for so long" I told him. I felt my hands twitch out of a nervous habit front he confession.
"Awe" Jack chuckled. "We share the same dreams."
I laughed at his stupid joke.
"I love you" he told me.
Without hesitation I smiled, ready to respond. "I love you too."
