When the sisters received their timetables Miss Tooth had them wait while two of the other pupils joined them to give them each a buddy for the day.
Rapunzel came back for Anna and took her off for their Freshman classes and Elsa was paired with a red haired Scottish girl names Merida.
"So what's being homeschooled like?" Merida asked as they headed off to Maths class.
"It's alright"
"Really? I think I'd get lonely with no one else to talk too."
"It's alright, it can get a bit lonely, but I've got my sister Anna, and I like the quiet someimtes."
"Yeah, a quiet house, I wonder what that would be like, I have three younger siblings! Triplets, all boys, so everything is loud and chaotic, and everything is sticky! I swear, our house is in permanent need of a clean because the second anything gets wiped or washed the boys attack it with sticky hands."
Elsa laughed.
"They sound like a handful"
"Yeah but I love them. I don't you can help but love you little siblings, even when you don't get them you know?"
"Yes. I know exactly." Said Elsa, smiling and feeling truly relaxed for the first time in a while.
The day progressed as any school day would until it was time for lunch.
"Those classes were so big, it's weird being in room with so many people when I'm in class. Normally it's just Anna, the tutor, and I." said Elsa walking towards the cafeteria.
"Must be nice with more people to answer the tutors questions though." replied Merida.
Elsa paused, thinking for a minute.
"Hey Merida?"
"Yeah?"
"What do you know about Jack Frost?"
"Jack? Why'd you wanna know about him? Did he do something to you? I'm sorry, he can be a jerk sometimes but he doesn't mean anything by it."
"No, he didn't do anything, it's just..." Elsa trailed off, she didn't know why she wanted to know more about Jack. She just did.
Merida raised her eyebrows and Elsa saw a little smirk cross the red-head's face before she spoke again.
"Well no one really knows much about Jack, other than the obvious. You know, a bit rebellious, class clown, never seems to take anything seriously. But honestly no one knows much about his home life. Whenever he gets asked anything he just kind of makes a joke, but he never gives a serious answer"
"How odd"
"Yeah"
"Are you friends with him?" Elsa asked, trying to keep the conversation going, not that Merida needed much encouragement. The other girl seemed to be a bit of a talker, which was fine as Elsa was a listener.
Merida shrugged in response to the question.
"Yes and no. I mean we're friendly, but we're not super close. Honestly though, he's not super close to anyone, he just kind of drifts." said Merida, shrugging again. She opened her mouth to say something else until she caught sight of something over Elsa's shoulder.
"speak of the devil" said Merida smiling a little and nudging Elsa lightly.
Elsa turned to see Jack half jogging towards the two girls.
"Hey , Merida, Coach was looking for you" Jack said as he approached the two girls.
"For me, why?" asked Merida, looking puzzled.
"I don't know, some archery thing." replied Jack with a 'how-should-I-know' expression on his face.
Merida sighed and looked at Elsa.
"Do you mind detouring to the gym?"
"Uh" said Elsa, as if on cue, her stomach let out a loud rumble. Merida and Jack laughed.
"I guess she does." Said Merida " Jack could you?"
"I'll take Elsa to lunch, you go see what your sports situation is" Jack said, smiling.
"Thanks Jack, I'll be back in like 20 minutes Elsa!" Merida said as she disappeared from the lunch hall.
Jack turned to Elsa.
"So, home-school, how's the first day going?"
"It's alright. I see you survived your session with Principal Claus"
"Yup, still in one piece, for now" he winked at Elsa as he lead her over to the line for food.
"What did you do anyway?"
"Tssssh, nothing that bad. They're just a bit sensitive to those sort of things on the first few days. Try to set a few boundaries you know? Not that it matters much, if I've learned nothing else, it's that this school will just give up on you eventually."
"That's not very good" said Elsa, frowning a little.
"It is if you want to be given up on."
"Why would you want that?"
"Because it's less effort." Jack smirked as he caught the look on Elsa's face "Look Elsa, you can either spend your days working away here, letting your whole high school experience pass you by, or you could get in a bit of trouble, have a bit of fun."
"I thought your high school experience was to learn? Isn't that what we're here for?"
"Heh, home-school you have so much to learn, and luckily, you found the best teacher you could ask for."
Just then Jack almost walked into a tall, grey haired man why was staring down at the cafeteria food with mild concern.
"Hey, coach. How's pool?"
The tall man turned to Jack, looking irritated.
"Look Frost, I don't question those obviously faked noted you give me to get outta my lessons, the least ya could do is leave my gym alone." he sighed "I mean, the pool Jack? really?"
"Sorry Coach Bunny, won't happen again"
"No, not that, but somethin' else" He said looking down at Jack. An old, squat little lunch lady bustled up to the counter.
"Here you go , four hard boiled eggs"
"Thank you ma'am" He said taking the plate and walking away.
"That was the coach?" asked Elsa loading up her own lunch tray while Jack did the same.
"Yup, that was him" Nodded Jack.
"I thought he was wanting to see Merida about something" Said Elsa.
"That's what I said" Jack was grinning now.
"What does that mean?"
"It means what I said to Merida may not have been entirely true, but don't worry about it."
"Oh." said Elsa "Won't she be waiting for him then? She'll miss lunch" she worried sitting down with Jack at the end of a relatively empty table
"Don't worry too much about it. Merida misses lunch all the time. She's probably practicing her archery night now. She's probably forgotten you exist."
"Oh" said Elsa again, feeling a little hurt at the thought of being forgotten about. Jack seemed to realise this.
"Hey, don't get upset about it, when Merida's focusing on her shot Principal Clause to stand next to her naked and dancing and she would be none the wiser, she's just like that you know?"
"I see, so why'd you do it?"
"Do what?"
"Lie to Merida about her being needed in the gym."
At this, Jack paused for a minute. He stared at his sandwich, and Elsa could swear she saw a little flush of light pink appear on his pale cheeks.
"No reason really, just felt like causing a little trouble."
A silence fell between them after that, and while it wasn't an uncomfortable one, Elsa couldn't help but feel she's put her foot in it again. As they finished their lunch Jack and Elsa put away their trays and headed back out into the hallway.
"What did you do?" questioned Elsa suddenly, breaking the silence.
"Huh?"
"To the pool" Elsa explained "What did you do to the pool"
"Oh that" said Jack, grinning again. "C'mon I'll show you." he took her elbow and head her off down a hallway towards the gym.

P.S to the person that suggested Jack be Elsa's guide, sorry I didn't do that exactly, but I hope what I did was good too :)
