Silhouette in Perfect Symmetry || Chapter VI

[ Elsa's P.O.V ]

Wednesday, dismissal time.

I'm happy Jack has friends. I'm pretty sure he'll enjoy their company. I decided to send Jack, Hiccup and Flynn a text message in regard with our Chemistry project. I forgot to talk about this. Anna and I were on our way home. "Elsa." Anna called me out of a sudden. I stopped walking and looked at her, "What is it?"

"What camera are you going to bring tomorrow? 'Cause Mr. Black asked us to bring our cameras."

"Polaroid, so it would be convenient. I don't have to print out the photos I'll be taking. What about you?"

"Of course, Polaroid too. I want instant shots."

We chuckled and continued walking. When we arrived home, we went to our rooms. I immediately placed my bag under my nightstand and grabbed my phone from my pocket. Its battery percentage is 15%. I plugged my charger in the outlet and charged my phone. I received text messages from Jack, Hiccup and Flynn.

[ Flynn ] Fine, gonna buy the materials. *thumbs up emoji*

[ Hiccup ] Sure. I'm going to the store to buy these materials. :)

[ Jack ] Alright. I'll bring those tomorrow. :D

Okay. I'm going to buy the materials I'm supposed to bring. I heard a knock. I got up and opened the door slowly. I saw Anna standing in front of me, "Yes?"

"I'm going to buy some art materials for our Chemistry project. Wanna come?" She asked me. Right, perfect timing you got, Anna. I smiled and nodded my head, "Yes. Actually, I'm going to buy materials for our Chemistry project right now." Anna and I giggled. Then, we left our house and went to the nearest craft store. This craft store has everything. I mean, the materials that are hard to find are here. We stepped inside the craft store and looked for the materials we need.

"Elsa?" Somebody called me. I turned around and saw Hiccup, smiling at me, "Buying stuffs for Chem. project, eh?"

"Absolutely." I smiled, then, roamed around to look for materials.

Another two customers went inside their craft store. This time, I saw Jack and Kristoff. "Guys!" Hiccup called them. Jack and Kristoff turned around in unison. Hiccup waved his hand as Jack and Kristoff turned around to face him.

"Oh, did you two come here together?" Hiccup asked them. "Jack lives next to my house. So basically, we're neighbours." Kristoff remarked.

"Yeah. He saw me going outside and he asked me where I'm heading to. And then I told him I'm on my way to the craft store. He told me he's going to buy the materials Anna has assigned to him. So, we decided to come here together." jack said.

I could hear their conversation. I picked all the things I'm supposed to do. Then, I headed to the counter to pay for these stuffs. I brought out my wallet from my pocket and took out the exact amount of money I needed. "Paying for our group project's materials?" I heard Flynn''s voice behind me. I turned around to face him and nodded my head.

"Keep that wallet of yours. It's free." He said.

"What do you mean by free?" I gave him an odd look.

"We own this craft store!" Flynn uttered. I didn't know Flynn's family own this craft store.

"Whatever you say, whether you own this craft store or not, I'll pay for it." I said, raising my brows. I heard Jack, Hiccup and Kristoff laughing out loud, on their way to the counter.

"Hey Flynn, are you here to buy materials too?" Hiccup asked as they stopped laughing.

"I had already bought the materials." Flynn said proudly and sternly.

"Alright then. Excuse me, I'm going to pay for these." Hiccup said to Flynn who is blocking the counter. "Don't bring out your wallets and money." Flynn raised his voice.

All of us stared at him blankly. "It's free." He remarked, crossing his arms.

"Are you gonna pay for these?" Hiccup was flabbergasted. His eyes had widened.

"He owns this craft store." I said in response, "But whatever Mr. Fitzherbert, I'm going to pay for these." I looked at him sharply. Flynn doesn't stop forcing us and telling us not to pay for the materials we need. We ended up not paying for these and we felt terrible.

"Bye guys. See you tomorrow." Flynn waved his hand as we left. Kristoff breathed out, "That makes him Flynn."

"I'm going to pay him tomorrow." Jack sighed.

"Anna, if he doesn't accept his money, we'll give him truffles instead." I faced Anna.

"Truffles?" Jack and Kristoff asked in unison.

"Yep, that's our snack for tomorrow." Anna smiled.

"Alright! Truffles, we're coming!" Kristoff exclaimed and put his arms around Jack's shoulder, squeezing him tightly.

"I can't breathe, Kristoff!" Jack tried to escape from Kristoff's arm.

"Enough for that, Jack and Kristoff. Let's go home." Hiccup stated.

We chuckled and bid our farewell to Jack, Hiccup and Kristoff.

[ Flynn's P.O.V ]

Wednesday, 18:00.

I told my friends not to pay for the materials they need. After they left, another two customers came inside the craft store. Their faces look familiar to me. The girl has long blonde hair and the other girl has long curly red hair. They're Elsa's friends. Actually, I do not completely know them. I only know their names. I always see them around the campus whenever it's our break. I just discovered them when Elsa introduced me to her female friends, Merida and Rapunzel. Then, she introduced me to her male friends, Hiccup and Kristoff. She is the first student who approached me in our school. As I see it, Elsa is popular in Arendelle University. She's the class valedictorian in our batch, whilst Anna is the class salutatorian. Hiccup and Kristoff are friends with Elsa. The three of us hang out with Elsa, Anna, Rapunzel and Merida before. In a later week, Hiccup, Kristoff and I decided to separate from Elsa's group because most of her friends are female and we couldn't relate with the girly topics they're talking about.

"Uh, excuse me, do you have this kind of paper?" Rapunzel approached me and showed me a piece of scented board paper.

"What colour?" I asked her.

"Assorted." She responded, "Wait! Flynn?! Why are you here?!"

"I have some business matters here. Yeah, yeah, yeah." I said, "Anyway, we have. Just wait here." I left her and went inside the storage room. I grabbed three sets of scented board paper and immediately handed them to Rapunzel.

"Thanks." She smiled at me as she took the scented board papers from my hand.

"Hey Punzie, I've got some glitters!" Merida exclaimed as she grabbed some small bags of glitters.

They went to the counter to pay for the three sets of board paper and some small bags of glitters. I told them not to pay anymore. It is unfair for them if Elsa and her friends are the only ones who didn't pay so I told them they'll have it for free.

"Are you sure?" Rapunzel looked at me sheepishly. I nodded my head and raised my brows, "Of course. You're friends with Elsa, right? Have it for free. Elsa and her friends didn't pay me because I told them so."

"Are you really sure?" She gave me another stern look.

'Yes!" I raised my voice.

"Ugh, Punzie! Just take it! I want to go home!" Merida face-palmed.

"Okay... Well then, thanks." She smiled. I smiled back and handed her the materials.

"Bye Flynn!" Merida and Rapunzel bade their farewell to me and vice versa. When the clock struck at 21:00, I closed the store. Our worker, the cashier, went on his way home. I went home and slept.

[ Jack's P.O.V ]

Wednesday, 18:00.

"I'm home." I said, as Lucy opened the door. "Welcome back, Jack." Lizzie greeted me. I smiled to Lizzie and went to my room.

"Jack?" I heard Emma's voice as she knocked the door.

"The door is open. Come in." I said as I laid myself down on my bed.

"Let's eat dinner!" She squealed, pulling me away from the bed. I smiled at her and got up, "Alright." The two of us went to the dining room and had our dinner.

"Mom, dad. Can I ask for your permission?" I asked my parents whilst we're all eating. My mother looked at me whilst munching my food. My dad stopped munching for a whilst and gave me a what-is-it look.

"We're going to do our Chemistry project and have a group review at Elsa's house this coming Friday and Saturday. Is it alright if I come there?" I asked in a shaky voice, feeling nervous.

"Elsa? Your new friend?" My mom asked me. I nodded my head and scratched my nape.

"It's alright. What time? Do you want me to accompany you on your way there and fetch you there?" He asked as he wiped off his mouth.

"On Friday, I'll go there after dismissal and go home at 19:45. This coming Saturday, I'm going to leave our house at 9:00 then go home at 16:30..."

"Of course. I want you to have some fun time with your new friend. Are Hiccup and your other friends coming too?" My mom questioned me. I nodded my head once again.

"Of course. We're allowing you to go there. Just be careful, dear." She said to me as she bit her food.

"Jack, can I come?!" Emma yelled as she poked my arm.

"If mom and dad will allow you, you can." I winked at her teasingly.

"MOM! DAD! I WANT TO COME TOO! CAN I?! CAN I?! CAN I?!" Emma squealed, whilst hugging my arm.

"But Emma, they're going to do their project and study, you might disturb them." My dad patted her head.

"Please! I'll keep quiet. I promise!" She begged and she squeezed my arm more tightly.

"Okay... okay... Calm down, Emma. We're allowing you to come with him." My dad said as he patted her head.

"Jack... Emma's coming with you. Watch after her, alright?" My mom asked me. I nodded my head in agreement. Seriously, Emma is noisy and loves meddling others. I'll just deal with it anyway.

After we ate our dinner, all of us went to sleep. Before I go to sleep, I sent Elsa and my other friends a good night message.
