Elsa's POV
You know how normal people are really excited for their first day at a new school? Well I'm not one of these people. And apparently neither is Rapunzel. We were both sleeping soundly when a girl walked into our room like she owned the place.
"Wakey wakey, biatches," she sang going over to Punzie's bed and pulled her purple covers off. My roomie didn't open her eyes, just curled up in a ball. I sat up in bed,
"Who are you and why are you in our room?" I asked yawning. The girl was dressed in a white shirt with puffy sleeves and a purple skirt. Her hair was a black mess and she had dark skin. She turned around to face me, her green eyes lighting with mischief,
"Darling, you have surely heard of me, I am the fabulous Esmeralda," she said with a bow, "Your RA." I recalled Punzie mentioning her. In automatically looked at the shelf where Pascal was, but he was gone. Probably hidden, "Okay, sleepy heads get up and head of to breakfast, later the headmaster is giving a speech, so you better be there. See ya sweeties!" Esmeralda flounced out of the room just as Punzie sat up.
"What time is it?" She asked stretching. Instead of replying I threw the alarm clock at her,
"It's late. We better dress."
I ran to the cafeteria with Punzie at my heels. Our converse slapped on the concrete floor and I nearly tripped over my laces. We weren't that late but Punzie said that if the bacon is gone, then it's gone. I have a thing for bacon. So we rushed inside and I ran straight into Jack. My heart skipped a beat.
"Hey Jack! Where did you disappear yesterday? I tho…" I started with a bright smile, but Jack just ignored me, pulled his hood up and left without a word. And here I thought we had something special. Okay so I know this guy for one day but I thought we were at least friends. I'm not taking his bullshit. Putting my brave face on I turned to Punzie,
"I don't know what's up with him but my bacon is waiting," I said. Punzie laughed and pulled me towards the tills. I felt a bit better. We were late so there was no queue, thankfully.
"Oh who do I see? My favourite lady! And she brought a friend!" Mushu brightened when he saw me, "Bacon for the beauty's, aye?" Rapunzel giggled and blushed like a little girl. I rolled my eyes at the cook and took the bacon he offered us, I realized that he gave me some extra. Wow, he definitely doesn't get compliments often enough, "Oh yeah, by the way, I would look out at lunch. Timon, Pumba and Olaf are on duty. Things can get bad, they are an explosive mix," Mushu added as we walked away. I smiled and let my mind wander off to Jack. My smile disappeared. Why was he acting like that? I thought we were friends, that we had the spark. Well I guess not. Sighing I slipped in between Hiccup, who looked like he stayed up all night, and Toothless, who seemed really happy. Yeah I put two and two together, those two definitely didn't sleep. I pit into my bacon, the delicious flavour exploding in my mouth. The thing that always cheers me up is food. I turned to Hiccup who yawned adorably,
"Hey, Hic, do you know what's up with Jack?" I asked in a casual tone, devouring my breakfast,
"Yeah," Hiccup gave me a smile, "He had a fight with Tinker again."
"Tinker?" I asked. I wished I didn't. My gut told me not to, my stomach did a dangerous flip,
"Tinker Bell, his girlfriend. She's one jealous girl." My heart dropped. Stopped beating. Died. Was ripped apart. Call it what you will , but it hurt.
"Excuse me," I said standing up and running off, leaving my foo. I didn't know where I was going, I didn't know the school very well. I found myself in the girl's bathroom on the second floor, locked up in a stall, crying my eyes out. Like an angsty teenager, that didn't know better. But I did know better, this happened before. I got hurt like that, I promised I wouldn't fall in love. But this wasn't love. I've only known this guy for a day. But Jack…he seemed so sweet, and caring, and dorky and everything that I ever wanted. And he had a girlfriend. He took me to a secret place even though he was taken. Pfft, yeah right that probably isn't even a secret place he takes special girls too, just a random old tree next to a random old stream. Conceal. Don't feel. I repeated in my head like I've done so many times before. If you don't let people in, you don't get hurt. Yes, Elsa, just build your wall back up, dry your tears and be the Snow Queen. Just don't feel.
I heard the door open to the toilet, quickly I got up and left the stall, pretending that everything was alright. I expected to see Punzie, who came after me, so I was surprised when I saw Merida standing there with an uncertain smile. She had her red locks in a messy ponytail and was dressed in tracksuit bottoms and an old, battered white t - shirt. She was probably taking PE.
"Hey, Elsa," she said with a warm smile, "I saw you run out. Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," I said with a forced smile,
"Okay, girl, I can see you're not, but you obviously don't want to talk about it, so I'm not gonna push you. Anyways I wanted to talk to you."
"About?" I asked, relieved that she wasn't questioning me. I washed my hands in the icy water. I overall don't like warm stuff. Merida stood there stepping from one foot to the other nervously. Finally she sighed,
"It's Anna." She said, biting her lip. I froze. Because of all this Jack stuff I forgot about Anna. She wasn't at breakfast. I turned around, "It's Hans. He's bad company. He deals weed and stuff, and Anna is going to end up hurt. I tried to help her, I swear, I talked to her I explained, but she ain't listening. You get me? You have to get to her before she does something stupid." Merida said quickly. I nodded and was about to answer when the doors opened and Punzie stepped in.
"Hey Mer," she waved at the redhead who smiled and left, "Elsa, you okay baby?" She asked softly. I nodded although my throat tightened. University was meant to be fun right? Then why did I have so many problems, although it was only my second day?
"Can you give me a hug?" I asked my roomie. My voice sounded small an pathetic, but right now I didn't care. Punzie put her arms around me without a word and gave me the biggest, warmest, most comforting hug ever.
"Don't worry Els, I know this is about Jack. Everything will work itself out, I promise." Punzie smiled brightly, "Hey, cheer up. This is University. Our lives have just began. Now come on the Headmaster is giving a speech, and I'm not sitting through that alone!"
