As Elsa exited Oaken's shop, excited about the prospect of getting her first paycheck in a month, she noticed Jason leaning against the wall just outside the door. (He's not stalking her) She blinked in surprise, then smiled hesitantly and said hi. Jason smiled back at her, and followed her as she walked to the bike rack and unlocked her bike. He leaned against the wall again casually and started talking to Elsa. "Wassup, babe? Do you wanna walk to the frozen yogurt shop after school with me sometime? We can hang out. It'll be fun!"
Elsa couldn't get over the fact that he called her babe, so it took a few moments for her stricken brain to process the rest of his sentence. "Uh, y-yeah. Sure, that sounds…" She took a deep breath "That sounds wonderful. I don't have to work on Fridays, so maybe then?"
"Great! Can you give me your phone number so I can text you?"
"Uhh, yes. Sure!"
They exchanged phone numbers and then Jason said goodbye and walked towards a black Honda Civic parked near the shop. Elsa watched him get in and ride away with who appeared to be his dad. She shook her platinum blonde haired head in disbelief and got on her bike, riding away in the opposite direction.
When Elsa got home, she could hear Anna humming to herself as she danced around the kitchen, evidentially trying to make dinner, but obviously not succeeding, as the pot on the stove was about to boil over and there was a ton of uncooked spaghetti strewn all over the floor. Anna didn't look up when Elsa walked into the kitchen, carefully stepping over the spaghetti and turning the stove off. Only when Elsa tapped her on the shoulder did Anna turn around and grin. "ELSA!" She shouted, nearly blowing Elsa's eardrum out as she cringed.
"Hello, Anna."
"Elsa! I'm so glad to see you! I have a ton of stuff to tell you! Oh, Wait… I'm supposed to be mad at you!"
"Anna! It's ok. I'm sorry about yesterday. I might have overreacted a bit. It's just that his brothers always talk about how mean and cunning he is and I thought…"
"Well, I'm glad you're ok with him, because we may or may not be dating."
Now it was Elsa's turn to blow Anna's eardrums out. "WHAT?"
"WellhekindainvitedmetotheCupcakePalaceafterschoolandiwentwithhimanditwasfun." Anna said in one breath.
"Anna! Slow down for god's sake!"
"Um… He invited me to the Cupcake Palace after school and I went with him and he bought me a cupcake and we talked and he asked me to be his girlfriend and Love is an Open Door was playing in the background, not intentionally I don't think, but it was so romantic!"
"Wait, so you didn't ride the bus? How did you get home?"
"I walked."
"For how long?"
"Umm, 45 minutes?"
Elsa sighed. "Anna, you can't walk home by yourself. You're only 11. If you're going to do this again, you should take your bike, or call Mom or Dad."
"Sooooo I have your permission to date Hans?"
"Fine. Yes."
"Yay! Thank you! You're the best sister ever! I love you!"
"Love you too. Now, help me clean up this mess. Do you want to order pizza?"
"Yeah! I'll go call Tadashi!"
Elsa smiled and rolled her eyes. You know you eat pizza way too often when you know the guy that works the phone during dinnertime by name.
Thirty minutes later, the doorbell rang, interrupting the sisters from their homework-induced daze. They both ran for the door. Anna got to it first, after Elsa remembered that they had to actually pay for the pizza when she was halfway to the door and ran back to get money. Anna paused for a minute to catch her breath before opening the door and grinning at the tall, black haired boy wearing a baseball cap that was holding a box of delicious smelling pizza. A few moments later Elsa appeared, holding a few crisp dollar bills. She greeted the pizza boy. "Hey, Tadashi!"
"Hey Anna and Elsa!" Tadashi said, handing them the pizza box and taking the money. "What's up?"
Anna grinned. "WELL… I got a boyfriend!"
Tadashi smiled back at Anna. "Oh really! That's awesome! What's his name?"
"Hans Westerguard." Elsa butted in. "Hiro might know him. He's in Anna's grade."
A shadow passed over Tadashi's face. "Hans Westerguard?" He said, looking worried. "Oh, yeah. Hiro's told me about him. He said Hans is mean and annoying. You better watch out, Anna."
Anna frowned a bit, then dismissed it with a wave of her hand. "Oh, Hans is great! He's just a big sweetheart and nobody knows it."
"Still Anna, be careful."
"I will, I will."
Elsa interrupted them. "Thanks for the pizza, Tadashi!"
"Anytime! See you later." Tadashi smiled at them, then started walking back to the pizza car.
They waved, then shut the door and set the pizza box on the kitchen counter. Anna grabbed a slice, took a bite, and chewed it thoughtfully before turning to Elsa and asking, "Do you think Hans is really as mean and annoying as everyone says he is?"
Elsa sighed. "I don't know, Anna, I don't know him. Why don't you ask the people you sit with at lunch? They probably know more about him than I do."
"Thanks, Els." Anna smiled. "I will do that. So, do you want to eat instead of just standing there?"
"Oh, yeah. Now go do your homework."
Anna pouted. "Fine."
Hey guys! It's me again! So, I have decided that for my grand re-coming back to this website, I will update a chapter a day for this entire week! Yep, that's right! One chapter everyday, starting today and going until Saturday. Then, the schedule will be one chapter a week, unless this fic gets really popular, then maybe it'll be two chapters a week. Well, I'm rambling, so goodbye and see you tomorrow! :)
