Hello there, guys.

Due to my other fanfic (Hiccstrid M) being cancelled and deleted, I've returned to this fic! I was a fool for starting two fics at once, for I know, I cannot write that much. But i'm on this one for good, now. You're stuck wit me till the end fom now on ;)

Thanks to everyone who took their time to read, comment, follow and favorite this story, it means the world to me!

Jack.

Jack Frost.

He seems interesting indeed. And for what occasion has he learned to sign? Anywho he seems nice, and I hope to get to know him better.

I shut the door behind me, and kick my boots off.

"Hey!" I shout, not expecting to hear an answer, but I know Anna's home, so there is someone in the house.

"Hi!" Anna comes from the lounge on the left, and greets me with a hug.

"How was school today?" She signs. I try to hide my tiny smile.

"Oh, just the usual. Me and Punzie, attending classes, learning, reading and enjoy the silence." I sign. She sighs deeply with her whole body, before crashing on the nearest couch.

"Oh, if I just could shut my ears for one day of school. Just one." She signs. I smile, and sit down by her feet, as she lays down.

"Trust me, you'll be lost without being able to hear. When your hearing is non-existing, everything around will be a bigger mess and chaos than it already is. Your eyes gets tired, and then you'll get dizzy. Trust me, being Deaf is not something to wish for." I say, and smile weakly. She smiles back.

"But seriously, that's all that happened? By the look on your face, I'm pretty sure, a lot more happened than just the usual" As I focus from Anna's hands to her eyes, my cheeks seems to redden a bit.

"Okay, now you've got to tell me!" I look down, arching my fingers in a nervous habit. My hands start to unfold the story, not trusting my voice. It would probably shiver or shriek, without me noticing it. I'm a little hyped by meeting Jack, and me telling about it orally, could go really bad.

"So, you met McCutie from the ice hockey team?"

"McCutie? Who's that?"

"Oh, just the right hand of the teams' captain, McDreamy..." He eyes daze off, in the memory the ice hockey captain. I gagged internally. Personally, I would call Hans Saunters Jr., urgh even the title makes me barf, McDisgusting. I have no clue on what Anna sees in him. he's a sports' geek, only caring about winning, and looking good with the girls.

"How many times have we been over this, Anna? he's a senior! And you are a...?"

"A freshman, I know! But Elsa, he's so cute! I mean, he's tall, handsome, and the sound of his voice gives me butterflies!" I gagged again.

I could never tell my sister of his actual behavior in class. She doesn't have any with him, obviously, so she only sees him, when he is out and socializing with all the students. Girls, mostly, but whatever.

"Does this so-called McDreamy even know you exist?" She pouts and crosses her arms.

"In fact, yes, he does. You see, he actually invited me to a party this weekend. I'm going with a couple of friends." I cocked an eyebrow.

"Aha. And who are these friends of yours?" I do know a few in her wide span of friends, and those, I trusted.

"Well, I'm definitely bringing Tia, Merida, Aurora and Ariel. Maybe even Astrid, if she's got the time!" My brows furrows a bit.

"You know Astrid Hofferson? How?"

"Oh, we met at one of your birthday parties back at Felton High, and we've been in contact since."

Could it really be true? Was Astrid Hofferson back from Scotland?

Astrid was quite new, back at Felton. Her being hard of hearing got her in a few years before the school closed. We shared a few classes together, and who knew that a few bumps on the head could bring us together? We accidentally bumped into each other on the way into PE, and we laughed so hard, I thought I'd go deaf, well, If I wasn't all ready.

"Astrid's back, and you didn't tell me?" I ask in awe, now jumping a bit in my seat.

"Well, sorry. I guess it must have slipped my mind."

"For how long have she been back?"

"A week, maybe?"

"Oh, gods, I've got to see her!" I rush upstairs, and plug my cell to it's charger. I'm going to facetime for quite a while.

-X-

"So good to see you again, Astrid! Guess I'll see you in school?"

"You bet that, Elsie! See ya!" I end the call, jumping in my step, as I descend the stairwell, leading into the open kitchen. Mom and Dad are standing and preparing dinner.

"Wow, you guys are home? How long have I been talking?" I look into the living area, hoping Anna could give me an answer.

"Approximately 3 hours." She signs, smiling at me. My jaw drop, as I look back at mom and dad.

"Who were you talking to, Elsa?" Mom asks, as Anna joins us in the kitchen, sitting on a bar chair.

"...McCutie..." I see her lips moving in the corner of my eyes. Mom got a stern look on her face, lying down the kitchen knife.

"Now, Anna! You must sign, while Elsa is here! Now, who's this... McCutie?" I scowl, understanding what Anna told her.

"It's no one, mom. I've been facetiming with Astrid. She's returned from her family trip to Scotland." Moms eyes immediately brighten up by the mention of Astrid.

"I've always liked that girl. She's so mature, calm and yet ambitious about her future." I smile too, remembering how she kept on blabbering about joining the olympic athletes. She is so strong, flexible and incredibly graceful in her movements.

"Yeah, she's a keeper. And I just found out that she's starting on my school tomorrow! She'll graduate along with me!"

Dad turns from the stove, looking just as happy as I was.

"Sounds like your senior year wouldn't be too bad after all, now will it?" I shake my head.

I'm definitely looking forward to school tomorrow, for a change.

Last examn is tomorrow, so I'll be right back on writing the next chapter for you guys! (They're probably going to be a bit longer than this one though :) )

See ya!
