Silhouette in Perfect Symmetry || Chapter IV
[ Elsa's P.O.V ]
Tuesday, 15:20.
"Hey Elsa, did Professor Hofferson group you into four and ask you to make a 4.27 x 2.34 cm periodic table?" Walking on our way home, Anna asked me. I nodded my head as a respond. She, then, asked me another question, "Who are your group mates?"
"Jack, Hiccup and Flynn. What about you?"
"Lucky you. Your group mates are your friends. Mine's Kristoff, Tadashi and Honey. The only one I'm friends with is Kristoff." She sighed.
I giggled a little, "That's okay. Make new friends!"
"Ugh, and you know what's worse?"
"What is it?" I gave her a puzzled look.
"We're going to do our project in our house! I refused them... but they forced me! Professor Hofferson reprimanded the four of us because we're the only group who isn't settled yet. Then, we ended up in my place. And we'll do it on Friday." She cried.
"That's alright. I bet they're nice, just like Jack." I responded and smiled.
"So, when and where are you and your group mates going to do the project?"
"Same place and same day." I remarked. When we got home, we immediately went into our rooms. I checked my phone and received three messages from Jack. I read his text messages one by one.
[ Jack ] Hey. Just got home. :) Beep me when you're at home. Plus, tell me the things I need to bring for our project in Chemistry.
[ Jack ] One more thing... I would like to apologise if I caused you troubles... I don't want that to happen.
[ Jack ] And sorry if I acted like a douche bag earlier. I was insane. I'm so sorry...
A smile suddenly appeared on my face. I jubilantly replied back.
[ Elsa ] Just got home. About our Chemistry project, we'll talk about it tomorrow. ;)
[ Elsa ] I know you didn't mean it. It's okay... Just promise me you won't do that again...
I placed my phone on my nightstand and grabbed the book, Pride and Prejudice from my bag. I started reading the book. I heard my phone buzzed but I ignored it, owing to the fact that I'm reading. I'm reading the 27th chapter. After I finished off the 30th chapter, I decided to rest and eat my snacks. I will continue reading later. I went out from my room and went to the kitchen room to prepare my snacks. I saw Anna making some truffles. Chocolate truffles made out of Oreo, cream cheese and melted chocolates.
"Want some?" Anna asked me as she handed me a truffle. I happily took the truffle from her hand and ate it. "It tastes so good!" I complimented as I munched the truffle inside my mouth, "What came into your mind and you decided to make truffles?" I, then, asked her.
"I'm hungry. I'm craving for something sweet. I don't want to eat plain Oreos."
"This tastes so good! We should make some this coming Friday."
"Okay." Anna smiled at me. She handed me five pieces of truffles. I gladly accepted it and ate it. After eating truffles, I went back to my room and took my phone from my nightstand. I read Jack's text messages.
[ Jack ] I'm sorry... I promise, I won't do it again, ever again. I don't want to lose you. You're my only friend...
[ Jack ] Anyway, let's forget about it and move on. :)
[ Jack ] Elsa, can I ask you something...?
I felt my cheeks flushed when Jack told me he doesn't want to lose me. I wonder what question is he going to ask. I felt a little nervous. I felt my hands shaking. What if his question is bad? No, Elsa. Calm down. It's just a question. By the way he typed his question, I could say he's sad or kind of nervous. I don't know. I'll go with the flow. We're just talking through phone anyway.
[ Elsa ] You're already asking. :P What is it?
I playfully replied. I waited for my phone to buzz. I'm waiting for his reply. Once my phone buzzed, I grabbed it shakily and read Jack's reply.
[ Jack ] Are you the Eiffel Tower?
Why is he asking me that? I bet this is a pun. I haven't heard this pun before.
[ Elsa ] Why?
In a second, he replied. His response made me smile and blushed so hard. I'm going to faint in a second.
[ Jack ] Because Eiffel for you.
I'm screaming in my mind. Jack, we just met. Don't let me fall for you.
[ Elsa ] Jack... I like that pun. :) By the way, I'll text you later. I'm going to continue reading the book.
[ Jack ] Sure. Text me when you're done. I'm reading the twenty fifth chapter of Sense and Sensibility. :)
Actually, that was an excuse. It's not that I don't want to talk to him or felt awkward, I ran out of words. I don't know what to reply. I had nothing to do so I decided to read again.
I stopped reading. I'm in the 40th chapter. I kept the book inside my bag and took a shower. After that, I laid myself down on my bed. My eyes are closing on its own. My body can't stand up. I won't eat dinner. I ate Anna's truffles, anyway. I feel lethargic and exhausted. I sent a text message to Jack saying good night then fell asleep.
[ Jack's P.O.V ]
Wednesday, 6:00.
I was woken up by my sister, "Jack! Wake up! Wake up! I have something to tell you!" I sat up and asked her in a groggy voice, "Why...?" She looks very happy. I wonder what makes her that happy.
"Good news!" She squealed.
I laughed a little and told her to slow down, "What is it, Emma?"
"I'm going to transfer to Arendelle University next week!"
"Really? I thought you'll transfer to Arendelle University next school year."
"Mom and dad changed their minds. I'm going to see you!" She squealed one more time and hugged me very tightly. I hugged her back and tightened my hug. I hope she won't experience the same thing I experienced before, to be bullied. She unwrapped her arms around and told me to have our breakfasts together. Before I left my room, I fixed my bed. I'm such a good boy. Not really. Then, I grabbed my phone from my nightstand and sent Elsa a message.
[ Jack ] Good morning! I hope you had a good night sleep. :) I have good news for you. I'll tell you later. :D
We went out from my room and went to our dining room. Lizzie greeted me, "Good morning sir- I mean Jack." I smiled at her and greeted her back. She had already prepared our foods. Thanks Lizzie.
"Where's mom and dad?" I asked Lizzie, knowing the fact that I haven't seen them here.
"They went to Arendelle University. Emma's transferring to your school. It will be more convenient if you and Emma study in the same school. Your father doesn't have to drive her to University of Burgess and drive you to Arendelle University."
"Oh, right. Thanks Lizzie. Have you eaten your breakfast? If no, I would like you to join us."
"I had eaten my breakfast with your parents. Thanks for the offer, Jack."
I nodded my head as a response and ate breakfast with Emma. After we finished off our breakfasts, I grabbed our dishes and placed it in the sink. Lizzie told me not to wash the plates. I raised my brows and smiled sheepishly. I thanked her and went to my bathroom to take a bathe.
I wore a shirt with a blue stripes on it and a pair of brown pants. I paired my outfit with a leather jacket and a navy blue and brown top-sider. I grabbed my bag and left my room immediately. I informed Lizzie I will be the one to accompany Emma on her way to her school. Emma and I bade our farewell to Lizzie. I accompanied Emma on her way to school. My father and my mother are not around so we're on our own. My father isn't here to drive us to our schools.
I went to Arendelle University and saw our car in the school parking lot. My parents are absolutely here.
"Hey!" Elsa tapped my shoulder from behind. I turned around to face her and smiled, "Good morning." Then, we continued walking.
"Good morning too. What's the good news, hmm?" She asked me.
"My little sister, Emma, is going to study here. My parents had finally decided to transfer her here in Arendelle University."
"What is her grade level?"
"5th grade." I stated.
"Well, that's great. We're going to see your little sister. I bet she's cute." She said. I asked her where Anna is.
"Well, she's inside her classroom. Let's go to our room, shall we?"
I bobbed my head. We went to our classroom together and had our first subject, Mathematics. We wrote down notes whilst Professor Kai, our Math teacher, was discussing a lesson about logarithm.
"Class, look for a partner and do this at home." Professor Kai gave us worksheets. Elsa and I looked at each other when Professor Kai told us to look for a partner. Thank goodness, we have the right to choose our partners. Flynn and Hiccup are partners. Elsa and I are partners.
"You will submit that on Monday, understood?"
"What?! Monday?! We have to pass our insights to Ms. Tomago and our Chemistry projects to Ms. Hofferson!" Hiccup complained and dug his face in his hands.
"What did you say, Mr. Haddock?" Professor Kai looked at Hiccup sternly. Oops, Hiccup. You should have kept quiet.
"Nothing. I'm happy we have a lot of projects! It will make us more competitive, right Flynn?" He glanced a Flynn and gave him a just-ride-along-with-me look. Flynn raised his brows and nodded his head. When Professor Kai turned around, Hiccup sighed in relief.
"Goodbye, class." Professor Kai bid his farewell to us.
"Goodbye and thank you, Mr. Kai." We bid our farewell to him in unison. Then, we sat down when he left.
"Damn it. I hate logarithm." Elsa and I heard Hiccup whining.
"I hate Math. I'm not good in Math, so definitely I won't be helping you." We heard Flynn grumbling.
Hiccup got up from his seat and approached the two of us, "Guys, help us. I hate this lesson. It confuses me."
"We'll teach you." Elsa remarked whilst answering the first item in the worksheet.
"Is it okay if you teach us on Saturday?" Hiccup asked Elsa. She nodded her head, telling him that it is fine. Hiccup went to his proper seat when Professor Gerda stepped inside our classroom. She discussed a new lesson and told us we'll have our quiz on Monday. All of my classmates had awed.
Seriously, this is driving me crazy. Why do our teachers choose Monday as the day of submission of our projects and the day of our quiz?
Professor Gerda wrote on the board the lessons we have to review for our quiz on Monday.
Review the following:
- Renaissance Period
- Black Death
- Cultural condition in Florence
Once our History class is over, we had our break time.
[ Jack's P.O.V cont. ]
Wednesday, 10:00.
Elsa and I went to the cafeteria together. We looked for Anna, Merida and Rapunzel. They seem stressed. Merida and Rapunzel met my gaze. I looked at them and immediately changed the direction where I'm looking at.
"Guys, you look so stressed." Elsa said as she brought out her snacks from her lunch bag.
"Professor Kai told us to choose our partners and gave us worksheets. I meant, workshit." Rapunzel whined, "I'm not good in Math. I despise that subject." She added.
"I just hate the way he teaches logarithm. I don't hate the subject itself." Merida wrapped her hair strands around her fingers and curled it.
"Expect that you'll have your quiz on Monday in History. Ms. Gerda told us we'll have a quiz on Monday." Anna grumbled, "You two looked fine. You two looked like you're not affected at all." She, then, said.
"Honestly, this is driving me crazy, but I'm okay. We can do this." I responded to Anna in a shaky voice, knowing the fact that Merida and Rapunzel will throw me hurtful words.
"By the way, we'll do our project in Chemistry on Friday and have our group review in History and Math on Saturday over my house. Wanna join us, Merida and Rapunzel?"
"We're not free this Friday. We're going to do our Chemistry project in our group mate's house. But we're free this Saturday. I'll ask my parents." Merida said, whilst curling her hair wrapped around her finger.
"Sorry, Elsie. I'm free this coming Saturday anyway. I'll just inform my parents about this. Hope they'll allow me." Rapunzel placed her right hand under her chin.
I'm dead. They're coming this Saturday. They don't want to see me. They hate me. I don't want to tell Elsa I won't come anymore. She'll get mad for sure.
"Elsa..." I whispered her name. She stopped munching her food and looked at me, "What is it, Jack?"
"About Saturday... eh... you know..." I scratched my nape.
"Enough." She said, "Whether they're coming or not, you'll come to my house."
I couldn't think of words to respond to. I ran out of words. I remained silent and speechless.
[Cliffhanger, eh? Don't you worry. Wait for the next chapter.]
