ELSA'S BDAY

ELSA'S POV

As I was sleeping, I heard my door open and then sensed someone hovering over me. They took a deep breath and then..."HAPPY 16TH BIRTHDAY ELSA!" Anna yelled over me. I opened my eyes and saw her dressed and ready for school. I smiled as she got off of me. "Get dressed. Mom and dad have breakfast for you downstairs. Meet you there!" she said as she left my room to let me get cleaned up. I chose a pale wintery blue dress, even though its winter, but the cold has never really bothered me. Especially with my powers and all. I decide to put my hair half up and half down with a snowflake clip. For shoes I just choose simple blue slip ons with bows on them. I grab my white cover-up and head downstairs.

When I get there, I see Anna in sitting on the couch with a pastry in one hand and coffee in another. "Good morning birthday girl!" my mom says to me. "Happy birthday darling," my father says. They both give me a hug and then hand me Starbucks and a chocolate pastry. I take a sip of my coffee, delicious. Chai tea latte, my favorite. "So, how does it feel to be 16?" Anna asks. "I feel exactly the same as I did yesterday." I smile as I take a bite of my coffee. Birthdays have never really been a big deal to me. Honestly, I see it as you just getting one year closer to death. Yeah pessimistic, I know. But it is also a reminder that I only have so long to live which means that I should live life to the fullest. Live everyday like it's my last.

My mom drives Anna and I to school and we join the group. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELSA!" they all say in unison. "You're so old now," Flynn says. "Shut up, you're older than me remember?" I retort back. We begin talking about how I'm going to celebrate and then the bell rings. "See you guys during lunch," we all say. "Are you ready to perform your song?" Punzie asks as we walk to music. "I'm a bit nervous, but I'm not going to let anything give me negative emotions on my birthday," I reply. "Wow, I didn't want to say this before, but you've changed. It's a good change, but it's just going to take some time to get used to." I just laugh at this. "How have I changed?" I ask. "Well you seem more optimistic and social and confident now." she replies. "Hmmm, I guess," I say. "Jack must be rubbing off on you," she says. When she says that I feel blush creep up to my face.

We get into music and I see Jack there. He looks happy, yet anxious. We go to sit next to him and wait for the teacher to begin class. "Ok class, today is presentation day, which means that you will all come up one by one to perform your holiday song. I've decided not to grade this, however, depending on your performance, I will add it as extra credit. Which means that you should still try as hard as you've been. Now, first up will be...Rapunzel." She says, Rapunzel stands up and heads to the front of the room. As she is singing, I see Jack lean closer to me. "Happy birthday Elsa," he whispers. "You remembered?" I asked. "I wouldn't be a good best friend if I didn't" he replied. I just smiled and we continued listening to Rapunzel.

When Punzie was finished, Mrs. Sonata thanked her and Punzie headed back to her seat. "Ok, next is Elsa," I went up and the music started playing.

Last night I took a walk in the snow.
Couples holding hands, places to go
Seems like everyone but me is in love.
Santa can you hear me

I signed my letter that I sealed with a kiss
I sent it off it just said this
I know exactly what I want this year.
Santa can you hear me.

I want my baby (baby, yeah)
I want someone to love me someone to hold me.
Maybe (maybe, maybe maybe.) he'll be all my own in a big red bow

Santa can you hear me?
I have been so good this year and all I want is one thing
Tell me my true love is near
He's all I want, just for me underneath my Christmas tree
I'll be waiting here.
Santa that's my only wish this year.
oohhh ohh yeah

Christmas Eve I just can't sleep
Would I be wrong for taking a peek?
Cause I heard that your coming to town
Santa can you hear me? (yea yeah)

Really hope that your on your way
With something special for me in your sleigh
Ohh please make my wish come true

Santa can you hear me
I want my baby (baby)
I want someone to love me someone to hold me
Maybe (maybe maybe) we'll be all the love under the mistletoe

Santa can you hear me
I have been so good this year
And all I want is one thing
Tell me my true love is near
He's all I want just for me
Underneath my Christmas tree
I'll be waiting here Santa that's my only wish this year

I hope my letter reaches you in time
Bring me love can call all mine
(yeah yeah) cause I have been so good this year.
Can't be alone under the mistletoe
He's all want and a big red bow

Santa can you hear me (hear me?)
I have been so good this year
And all i want is one thing
Tell me my true love is near

He's all I want. just for me
Underneath my Christmas tree
I'll be waiting here (ohh yeah) Santa that's my only wish this year
Oh Santa can u hear me? oh Santa
Well hes all I want just for me underneath my Christmas tree
Oh I'll be waiting here
Santa that's my only wish this year.

I finished and once again everyone was staring at me in awe. This song really does describe me. I do really just want to have someone who loves me. But I don't just want anyone. I want Jack to love me. I bow and go back to sit next to him. I see him smiling at me with a twinkle in his eyes. I really love him even after all these years. Even after he dated Kida, I still love him. "You were amazing up there," he said. I blushed and looked down. "Thanks," I replied. "So, is that really what you want for Christmas?" he asks. I hesitate. What's the harm in telling him. It's not like he'll know that I like him if I just say yes. "Yes," is what I say. He just smiles and turns his attention back to the person singing.

After the person was finished, it was Jack's turn.

It's the most beautiful time of the year
Lights fill the streets spreading so much cheer
I should be playing in the winter snow
But Ima be under the mistletoe

I don't wanna miss out on the holiday
But I can't stop staring at your face
I should be playing in the winter snow
But Ima be under the mistletoe

With you, shawty with you
With you, shawty with you
With you under the mistletoe

Everyone's gathering around the fire
Chestnuts roasting like a hot July
I should be chilling with my folks, I know
But Ima be under the mistletoe

Word on the street Santa's coming tonight,
Reindeer's flying through the sky so high
I should be making a list, I know
But Ima be under the mistletoe

With you, shawty with you
With you, shawty with you
With you under the mistletoe
With you, shawty with you
With you, shawty with you
With you under the mistletoe

Aye, love, the wise men followed the star
The way I followed my heart
And it led me to a miracle
Aye, love, don't you buy me nothing
'cause I am feeling one thing, your lips on my lips
That's a merry, merry Christmas

It's the most beautiful time of the year
Lights fill the streets spreading so much cheer
I should be playing in the winter snow
But Ima be under the mistletoe

I don't wanna miss out on the holiday
But I can't stop staring at your face
I should be playing in the winter snow
But Ima be under the mistletoe

With you, shawty with you
With you, shawty with you
With you under the mistletoe
With you, shawty with you
With you, shawty with you
With you, under the mistletoe, under the mistletoe

Kiss me underneath the mistletoe
Show me baby that you love me so-oh-oh
Oh, oh, ohhh
Kiss me underneath the mistletoe,
Show me baby that you love me so-oh-oh
Oh, oh, ohhh

He finished and everyone clapped. I wonder if he's had his first kiss yet. Probably. I wish I could kiss him underneath the mistletoe. Can that be my birthday present? Probably not. It would take a miracle for that to happen.

The rest of the day was like every other day. After school, we all went to get ice cream. I'm having my actual celebration tomorrow, so we all went home after. When I got home, I brought my stuff to my room and was about to join Anna on the couch when my phone buzzed.

J:Hey Elsa
E: Hey Jack
J: What are you doing tonight?
E: Nothing really. Probably just hang with Anna.
J: Can you meet me at Night Park at 5?
E: Yeah, sure. I'll see you there
J: Great! See u there!

After I read that, I just couldn't stop looking at our texts and smiling. I was so lost in my joy and in the texts that I didn't notice that Anna had been there for a while. "So," she began, "who ya textin?" she asked as she walked over to sit next to me. "Jack," I simply replied. "And what about Jack?" she said with a grin on her face. From the looks of it, it seems like she's planning something. "I'm meeting him at the part tonight." "Oh really? Is it a date?" She asked. Hmmmm, is it a date? He never said that it was a date, so I assume no. But then again, it could be. "I don't think so. He didn't say it was." I say with a tone of disappointment in my voice. "Oh, well what time are you meeting him there?" "About 30 minutes from now," I say as I stand up to look at myself in the mirror. "How do I look?" I ask. Anna observes me and then smiles. "You look beautiful. However, do you think its ok for you to be wearing the same thing you wore all day to this 'meeting'?" Hmmmm is it ok? Maybe I should change, but what would I change into. I go to my closet and begin looking at all of my different dresses, which isn't many but it's at least 5. I finally chose one. It was short in the front and long in the back. It was white at the top but as it goes down, it slowly starts to get a blue tint and gets darker. It has sparkles all over it and is strapless. I put it on and then look in the mirror again. I curl my hair and put it all to one side. I keep my snowflake clip and makeup the same. "Is that good?" I ask. Anna just stares at me in awe. "You look beautifuller Elsa. Jack is going to love it." I blushed at the mention of Jack. I do hope he likes it. "Ok, I should be heading out now. If mom and dad ask, just tell them. Love you!" I say to Anna. After we hug, I get in my car and drive to the park. I'm so excited for my birthday "meeting."

I'm back. So it's winter break now, which means that I am now able to write and update my stories! Yay! I can't tell you how happy I am that finals are over. Like seriously, if you have not had a final, I bid you good luck when the time comes. It's like facing your death. Haha jk, but seriously though, it's so stressful. Ok, so the songs that were sung in this chapter are My Only Wish by Britney Spears and Mistletoe by Justin Bieber. Idk why, but I just really like those songs. If you have never heard them, you should look them up.Anyways, I am now one year older! Yay! I wish you all Happy Holidays and hope that the new years brings you joy and love.
