We start chapter 2 with Anna in her junior year of high school, and Elsa in her freshman year of college. Elsa is attending college in Florida, because she wanted to find the warmest place possible, so she can avoid snow and ice. She also is able to stay away from her home town, as to let go of the past and start a new life.
With Elsa away, Anna misses her dearly, and will do anything to see her again. She has found some time to call, and Skype with Elsa, but Elsa does not talk much because she is busy with her school work. Anna decides to start working at a local restaurant, waiting tables, in order to save some money for college. She also spends extra time studying in order to raise her gpa. She starts to become distant from her friends, as she is busy at work and studying. Her classmates also talk about how her sister nearly froze the gym and wonders if Anna freezes things too.
Although Anna is busy most of the time, she feels alone and longs for the day that she graduates from high school and goes to college to be with her sister. She too hopes to start a new life in Florida, and meet new people and experience new things.
For the most part, Elsa started college well. She seemed to like her professors, and her classes seemed relatively easy. She even started to get along with her roommate, Shirley, despite spending most of her life as a loner. Shirley convinced Elsa to attend a beginning of the semester frat party. Elsa was a bit reluctant, but Elsa decided to let her "good girl" side go for one night.
Noticing Elsa alone on the couch, a relatively good looking guy named Ben came over to talk to Elsa. Elsa seemed shy at first, but after several minutes of talking, and possibly after the punch, Elsa started to feel comfortable talking to Ben. Ben had noticed that even it was quite warm outside, Elsa was wearing gloves. Elsa was somewhat embarrassed, but the look in Ben's eyes had let Elsa know that she could trust him with her secret. Afterward, Ben said, "your cold hand probably won't bother me anyway". Ben removed the gloves, and he kissed her. It was very rare that Elsa felt warm, and Elsa felt warmer than ever. It seemed that her left side had started to feel extra warm, and soon the warmth had spread through her body.
The warmth lasted for a few minutes, and then suddenly, her right side started to feel cold. She then realized that Ben was starting to feel up her skirt. Feeling quite uncomfortable, she pushed him away, striking ice at him. Ben, nearly froze (literally and figuratively), stood there with his mouth open. Elsa shouted, "Get off! Stay away from me!" Elsa then ran out the door. Shirley soon noticed what was happening, and ran after Elsa. "What happened?" Shirley asked. Elsa replied, "He was feeling me up!"
The girls went back to their dorm room. Shirley asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?" Elsa replied, "No, I just want to be alone." Shirley then said, "O.K., but we should be getting some sleep soon." Shirley fell asleep quickly, but Elsa was a wake for several hours, sobbing quietly, and thinking how she probably ruined her only chance of social life, as well as her dignity. She lost most of her trust in guys, and longed to be with her sister. She thought of calling her, but it was late at night and did not want to wake her. She finally went to sleep. From then on, she spent most of her time in her room, leaving mostly to go to class and to visit the library some. Shirley had become the social butterfly, and had asked Elsa to join her, but Elsa reclined.
Soon enough, the next two years passed and Anna was eager to start her first semester of college with Elsa. Elsa agreed to room with Anna for Anna's first year so she can get acquainted with university life. For the first time, in what seemed like in forever, Anna was going to see her sister. She was hoping to get her social life back, and maybe she might meet a cute guy.
Finally the day came for Anna to move into the dorm. She hugged her sister as soon as she saw her. Anna could hardly contain her excitement as she unpacked her belongings and decorated her side of the room. Elsa had let Anna get the window side, if she let her control the thermostat.
The first week of the semester went well, and Anna received a notification on Facebook that she was invited to a frat party. She was excited because she had not gone to any party in the past two years, and knew that attending a frat party meant that she would defiantly meet a cute guy. Anna asked Elsa if she was going. Elsa said that she was not going, and Anna probably should not go too. "Why not?" Anna asked "Because", Elsa replied, "frat boys are not exactly the type of guys you should be spending time with." "Well I am going weather you go or not!" Anna exclaimed. There was no way Anna was going to miss a frat party.
Elsa then told her to "be safe" and said that she was going to a study group at the library. Anna did not understand why Elsa would go to a study group on a Friday night, but was too eager for the frat party to ask. Anna had put on her best black cami top and bright green mini skirt. She decided to put her hair up in a bun. As soon as she arrived at the party, she saw him!
He had bright blue eyes and bright red hair. He was wearing a plain white t-shirt and jean shorts. As she made her way towards him, she tripped on a step leading up to the main living area. "Glad I caught you", he said. "Thanks" Anna replied. The guy had introduced himself as Hans. After about an hour of conversation, and probably too much punch, they had hit it off really well. They started to kiss for a while, and then it was getting late. "I can walk you back to your dorm", Hans offered. Anna replied, "of course you can." As they got back to the dorm, Hans had kissed Anna at her door. Anna had pulled Hans inside, and before they knew it, they were on Anna's bed. Elsa had not yet returned from her study group.
A few minutes later, Elsa flew open the door, ready to go to bed; she stood there in shock, seeing a strange man on top of her sister! "Anna, who's that!" Elsa yelled. Grabbing a sheet to cover her naked body, Anna shouted back, "you should learn to knock first!" "Knock?" Elsa asked. "I should not have to knock to get into my own room!" Elsa exclaimed. Anna then said, "You mean OUR room."Elsa added, " You shouldn't sleep with a guy you just met!" Anna interjected, "But…" "Out", Elsa shouted, pointing to the door. Anna, in tears, begged, "Elsa please…" Hans said, "I probably should go." He quickly got his clothes on and ran out. Anna slipped her nightgown on and ran out after him. Hans said, "I should leave you alone with your sister." He then quickly ran off. Anna knocked on the door, "Can I come back in" she asked. Elsa responded, "Go away!" Anna slowly went out to the common room. She lied down onto one of the couches and fell asleep. She had sadly ruined any chance of getting close to her sister.
