As the weeks passed, Elsa and Anna slipped back into the routine of school. Elsa worked at Oaken's almost every day after school, and Anna enjoyed riding the bus home with Hans. Sleepovers with Merida, Ariel, and Rapunzel were kind of an annual thing, and Anna went to Rapunzel's house every Friday after school.
One day Elsa was at her locker when Jason walked up behind her and leaned against the locker beside her. "Hey, Elsa." he said. "You look very pretty without glasses."
Elsa blushed. He had called her pretty! "Oh, well thank you!"
"Also, I heard you were running for student council president." Her boyfriend said in a slightly disapproving tone. "Don't you think that's kind of nerdy?"
"Well, kind of, but I want to help the school, and they have free food."
"Maybe you shouldn't run."
"It's too late, I've already turned my application in."
"Hmm." Jason didn't seem to like this, Elsa noted.
She deftly tried to change the subject. "So, how was your football game?"
"Pretty good. I can't wait to get into high school, where they actually take football seriously."
"Well, it's only middle school football, you can't expect that much from them."
"I guess not." Suddenly, Jason's face brightened, as if he had gotten an idea. "Hey, why don't you come to some of our games?"
Elsa sighed. "I can't! I'm in all TAG classes, so I've got way too much homework, and I have to do the student council thing, and…"
"No, you should!" Jason said, interrupting her. "You're my girlfriend right?"
"Yes!" Elsa said hastily.
"Then you have to come support me, cheer me on from the sidelines, stuff like that!"
"I don't know…"
"Elsa." Jason took her hands in his. "Please? You're my girlfriend."
Elsa couldn't resist that face. He was so cute! "Alright, fine."
"Yes!" Jason smiled the rest of the way to his next class, the smile eventually turning into something a little bit diabolical looking as he sat down.
Once again, Elsa was feeling conflicted as she scooped ice cream and handed it to customers. Having been alone most of his middle school life, Kristoff had become very good at reading people, so of course he noticed and confronted her about it. "Is it Jason again?"
Elsa sighed for perhaps the hundredth time that day. "Yes. He wants me to go to his football games and support him, like a true girlfriend."
"Did he actually say, like a true girlfriend?"
"No, but it felt like it. It felt like he was accusing me of not being there for him, and of not being… I don't know, worthy enough to be his girlfriend."
"Sounds frustrating."
Elsa buried her face in her hands. "You have no idea."
"Maybe he wants to introduce you to his friends."
"His friends aren't really my type."
"And he is?"
Elsa stayed silent for a moment, thinking. "Yes, I'm sure of it. He likes me." she said, forcing all doubts to the back of her mind. Kristoff just stayed silent, watching her.
Eventually he spoke. "Ok."
At the end of the day, Kristoff said to Elsa as they walked outside. "If you ever need me, just text me."
Elsa smiled. "Thanks. Ice bros?"
"Ice bros." Kristoff said, fist bumping her, and then watching as she rode away on her bike.
Ok, I said I would update every week... but then life happened. I literally wrote this yesterday and haven't had time to upload it until today, but here it is! It's kinda short though. So, I'm going to try and update this on Fridays so i have the entire week to write a chapter. Also, it's really hard because i'm writing this on my computer, which I usually only have time to use for homework, but i will figure out a way. I just need to work it out. Be patient. :)
