Silhouette in Perfect Symmetry || Chapter V
[ Elsa's P.O.V ]
Wednesday, 10:20.
I was disappointed when Jack was about to tell me he's not coming to my house because Merida and Rapunzel are coming to our house. I hope they'll get along. What I hate about Merida and Rapunzel is that they're judgmental. They don't know him for a long time. It's not that I'm defending him. I just find it wrong. I don't want others to feel what I feel. I'm being judged just because I don't like to take medicine.
I cut him off when he was about to say something I don't want to hear, "Enough. Whether they're coming or not, you'll come to my house." Jack remained silent and speechless. I don't want to happen what happened yesterday; we had an argument. By the way he acted yesterday, I could say he's sensitive and emotional. After break time, we proceeded back to our respective rooms and waited for our teachers. Our next class is Arts. We expect that Professor Pitch Black to come.
Professor Pitch Black stepped inside the room and stayed in front of the class. Before he started our lesson, he greeted us and we greeted him back. He grabbed a whiteboard marker and wrote photography on the board. "In your own words, what is photography?" He asked us as he underlined the word.
I raised my hand confidently and waited for him to call me. He looked at the seat plan and called my name, "Elsa Glazeworth. What is photography for you?" I stood up and gave him my answer, "Photography doesn't necessarily mean taking pictures using cameras. It means you're taking something that strikes you, just like a silhouette in perfect symmetry. Photography is such an exquisite art. It's different from other forms of art. What you see is either a reality or a dream."
Professor Pitch Black complimented me, "Well said, Ms. Glazeworth."
I smiled at him and felt Jack looking and smiling at me. I looked at him and caught his twinkling eyes staring at me and his lips forming a smile. I smiled back at him and listened to what Professor Pitch is explaining. I absolutely love talking about photography.
"Kindly bring your cameras with you tomorrow. This is an individual project." Professor Pitch told us, "I want to see how creative my students are by taking photographs. Take a picture of someone or something that makes you smile. Someone or something that inspires you. Someone or something that makes you you. Only three to five shots. Then, on Friday, bring the hard copies of the photos you will be taking tomorrow. You will explain in front of class why you took a shot of that on Monday. Do I make myself clear?"
We answered yes in unison. When our Arts class is over, our classmates went wild and crazy. Some of them are howling. Some of them are shouting. While me, I'm just sitting down and reading Pride and Prejudice. We waited for Ms. Tomago to come. Unfortunately and surprisingly, Professor Tomago came late. It's strange that she's late. She doesn't come late to classes.
"Sorry if I came late. I went home for emergency. Don't ask me why. It is personal." She told us. She did not teach us lesson. She told us we'll spend the whole time by reading books written by Jane Austen we've chosen. The ambiance of the room is silent and still. We read our books quietly. Professor Tomago excused herself when her phone rang. She left us silently and answered the phone call.
Our classmates started to freak out. They broke the quietness of the classroom. "Hey Jack, do you want to eat lunch with us?" I heard Hiccup asking Jack. It made me feel better when Hiccup asked him out.
"I'll just ask El-"
I cut him off and told him, "It's alright. I'm allowing you to join Hiccup's group. You'll definitely enjoy their company."
"Yeah. We're planning to ask you out but Elsa asked you out first. I think it's time to ask you out. I mean, you know... it's been three days. Plus, it's kind of awkward because a good looking guy like you is in the company of a girl group. I'm not a sexist, anyway." He said.
"Yes, they're correct. Jack, I'm good. They're also my friends. Only I don't join them because they are dudes." I insisted him to join Hiccup's group.
"Alright. If it's okay with you..." Jack said in a soft monotonous voice.
"It's not the end of the world, Jack! We're gonna hang out this Friday and Saturday- I mean, do our projects and study." He remarked. Our classmates kept quiet as Professor Tomago entered inside the room. We continued reading and waited for the bell to ring.
When the bell rang, Professor Tomago told us to leave.
"Come on, Jack. Let's have our lunch together." Hiccup called him out.
"I'll go with Elsa first to-" Jack was cut off when I patted his back, "It's okay. Go on. Join them."
He looked at me before he left. I went to the cafeteria and looked for Anna and my friends. I saw Jack sitting with Hiccup, Flynn and Kristoff. I tapped his shoulder when I passed by.
"Elsa, where's Jack?" Anna asked me.
"Where is he? Did he leave you?" Merida asked me sternly and raised her left brow.
"Don't ask Merida. Be thankful Jack isn't here." Rapunzel mumbled.
"He's with Hiccup. He asked Jack to join their group. Before he accepted Hiccup's offer, he asked me if it's okay and I said yes." I responded.
"I'm pretty sure Jack will enjoy their company. Kristoff is a clown. He'll make you laugh 'til your stomach hurts." Anna chuckled.
[ Jack's P.O.V ]
Wednesday, 12:05.
"Hello Jack. Welcome to our group." Hiccup patted his shoulder, "I forgot to tell you this, Flynn is also a new student. He came from Corona State University." He added.
"Yeah. It's an exclusive university for boys. My mother enrolled me there last school year. Then, my father decided to transfer me here because they think I might fall for a guy." Flynn sighed.
"Hey!" A tall blonde haired dude greeted me and waved his hand. I greeted him back and smiled, "Hey."
"Oh, that guy... his name is Kristoff." Hiccup introduced me to Kristoff.
"I'm Jack. Nice to meet you Kristoff." I said, then shook hands with Kristoff.
"Oh, why did you transfer here?" Hiccup queried me.
"Back then, I was being bullied by my old schoolmates. They make fun of me. I don't know what is funny about me. I don't even know what is wrong with me. But now, I'm okay. I finally recovered from bullying. Thanks to Elsa and thanks to you guys. You guys are so nice to me. Thank you so much."
"Sorry to hear that dude. I'm happy you're fine now. I can't believe they bully a good looking guy like you... no way. But never mind. Let's stop talking about this." Hiccup said.
"Yeah..." That's the only I could ever think of to respond. It became silent and awkward. Thanks to Kristoff. He broke the awkwardness. "You're friends with Elsa, right?" Kristoff asked, as he crossed his legs. I nodded my head slowly, "She's the reason why I recognised you and your friends." I added. I took out my lunch from my lunch bag and started eating.
I couldn't stop laughing when Kristoff shared us his jokes. In my place, I could see Elsa from here. I watch her eating with her friends. Thankfully, they no longer argue about me because I'm not there. She met my gaze and waved her hand a little. I smiled at her and winked.
"I have a pun." Flynn blurted out.
"What?" We asked him in unison.
"Are you a soap?" He asked us, whilst munching his food.
"Why?" We asked him in unison for the second time.
"Because I'm soaper in love with you." He grinned, "Get it? Super." He giggled. We stopped laughing and gave him a blank look. "Nice try, Flynn." Kristoff chuckled. Once we finished off our meals, we went outside the cafeteria and sat down on the grass. I saw other students having their lunches here. Others are having picnics. "This is our usual spot." Hiccup said, as he laid himself down on the grass, "Elsa and her friends come here sometimes. It depends. We always come here after we eat our lunch." We stayed there for thirty minutes.
We got up and decided to go back to our rooms when we heard the bell ringing.
[ Jack's P.O.V cont. ]
We had our class in Chemistry, Computer, Music and Spanish. We waited for the dismissal time. Hiccup asked me if I'm free today. I refused inasmuch as I haven't asked permission from my parents yet.
"Oh. It's okay. Can I have your number instead?" Hiccup asked me as he raised his glasses and brought out his phone from his pocket. I gave him my number and vice versa, then saved his number.
"Hey! What are you two doing there?" Kristoff yelled.
"I asked for his number so I could inform him if we'll hang out. It would be more fun if he will hang out with us." Hiccup said, facing to Kristoff.
"Oh, alright. I'll get his number number too." Kristoff took out his phone. We exchanged numbers and saved each other's numbers in our contact list.
"You're forgetting someone, eh?" Flynn crossed his arms.
"No. We're only exchanging numbers." Hiccup explained.
"Can I get your number?" I asked Flynn politely.
"Of course!" He gladly gave his number to me and vice versa. After we had saved each other's numbers, I told them I'll leave.
"Will your parents fetch you?" Flynn asked me. I bobbed my head and bid them my farewell. "Before we hang out, we'll also stay with you whilst you wait for your parents." Kristoff grinned and raised his thumb up.
"Thanks guys." I thanked them. I never felt loved before. I never had friends before. I felt so much loved in this school. I thank Elsa, Hiccup, Flynn and Kristoff for this. I owe them, especially Elsa. She defended me from her friends and tried her best to make her friends like me. I don't know how could I ever repay them.
We sat down on the bench and waited for my parents. "One question, Jack." Flynn uttered out of a sudden. I gave him an odd look and asked him, "Yeah?"
"Do your parents always fetch you?"
"No. Only for this week. My parents want to make sure I'm fine... you know... the bullying thing has traumatised them. But next week, I'm on my own."
"Great! We could finally hang out." Hiccup squealed.
"Yeah!" I gave him a high-five, "I'll introduce you to my parents. It would make them happy to see me I have friends."
"Jack?" I heard Elsa's voice. I turned around to see her.
"Going home?" She asked me. I shook my head and smiled, "Yep."
"Why is Hiccup and your other friends are with you?" She asked me one more time.
"They told me they'll wait for my parents. Plus, I'm going to introduce them to my parents."
"Alright, guys. We're going home now. Take care! And Jack, don't forget to message me." Elsa waved her hand.
"Bye. See you tomorrow." Anna bid her farewell. The two siblings left after they bid their goodbye. In a short moment, my parents had arrived. They hopped out from the car and fetched me.
"Mom, dad, meet my new friends." I introduced my new friends to my parents. Hiccup and others politely said hello to my parents in unison. "That one is Hiccup, then Kristoff, then Flynn." I dictated their names.
"It's nice to meet you all." My mom and my dad said and smiled. "Kids, do you want me to accompany you on your way home?" My father asked them. Hiccup, Kristoff and Flynn refused in a polite manner. "Well then, we'll leave." My dad smiled and turned around.
"Bye guys." I waved my hand as I hopped inside our car. They waved their hands, "Bye Jack!" They said as they waved their hands.
I am lucky and blessed. I met new friends.
