Chapter 1 Part 3- Introductions. Rivals
(Flashback Chapter Starting NOW)
Anna's View (current age: 5):
Kindergarden. The children were all happily skipping around, waiting for the first day of school to start. This included Anna Arendelle. She was running happily around the courtyard, being constantly watched by her older brother Hans. She was five and he was six. He was being overly protective, not letting her play with kids he didn't know, a characteristic that would only grow throughout the years. But when she finally found her friend Rapunzel, they were instructed to go to class. She skipped excitedly inside the classroom, away from Hans, and sat down. After she entered, a couple of kids came into the classroom. One of them was a boy with growing black hair, with green eyes. He was wearing a blue lion t-shirt and jeans, that complemented well his mane-like hair. But the other, a girl, had long, blonde hair, with oddly colored red eyes. She was wearing a red dress, and she has holding the boy's hand firmly. Afterwards, the boy saw a friend and left the girl alone. She started walking towards Anna, and in a legitimately frightened voice, she asked. "Could i please sit with you?" And with a genuinely friendly smile, she patted the space next to her. Excitedly, she hurried and sat down next to both her and Rapunzel.
"I'm Vitani! What's your name?" Said the blonde, her eyes sparkling for having made a new friend.
"I'm Anna! And this is my friend Rapunzel!" Rapunzel waved at Vitani, who waved right back.
Kovu (current age: 5) and Vitani's (current age: 4) view:
Kovu Outseid was nervous, but not as nervous as his sister, Vitani. Their mother, Zira, had said that she expected great things from them on their first day. Kovu was wondering if he'd be in Venellope's class again. If he disappointed his mother, they'd both get punished. When she finally dropped them off at the gate, she held Kovu back, and looked at him deep in his green eyes with her perverse red ones. "Listen to me. You are destined for greatness. Don't disappoint me." And after that, she released him so he could join his sister. They stayed together for the entire time before the supervisors told them to go inside. Once inside, Kovu finally spotted Venellope and left Vitani alone. She was scared, she didn't want to disappoint her mother. That is until she noticed a cute redhead staring at her in sadness. She scooted over to the redhead and asked her if she could sit with them, and smiled when she accepted. Maybe she wasn't doomed.
Vennelope's View (current age: 5):
Venellope's father was giving her his usual pep talk about behaving in school and not being a bully to other kids. She had heard this a thousand times over, so she just nodded her head agreeing. She got out of the car, bid her father goodbye, and stated to mix with the other children. She was excitedly running around when she bumped into someone. "Oh, dear, I'm sorry. Are you alright? Did i hurt you?"She heard a voice say. Venellope looked up to take a glance at who ran into her. The sight was quite amusing. Looking down at her was a boy wearing an all-purple outfit, and porting big red glasses. His hair color was what was most peculiar. It was blue in the borders, purple on the whole, and he had a few red tuffs standing out. He looked genuinely concerned for her. 'Maybe this will be my first new friend!' She thought excitedly
"I'm fine, ya big dork." She said playfully. "I didn't break anything, at least. My name's Venellope Von Schweetz!" She held out her hand, expecting a handshake from the boy. But he just looked really confused. Like nobody ever offered him a handshake before. "This is the part where we shake hands and you tell me your name." She said with a silly smile on her face. If the boy could be any more embarrassed, he would have been.
"Oh!" He said, grabbing her hand and shaking it firmly "My name is Randall Boggs. No one ever asked me to do this before, I'm not used to this." He let out a shy smile, showing a collection of almost-pointy teeth. "But if you want, you can call me Randy! That's my nickname anyway. Wanna be friends?" He looked at her, hope shimmering in his eyes.
"Sure! I mean, why not? Don't you have any friends?" Randall shook his head shyly. "Oh, then you'll also be friends with Kovu then! You'll like him. He kinda looks like a lion." But Randall just stood there, unsure of what to do next. Venellope looked at him and chuckled. "You coming Randy? Or do you wanna be alone again?" That seemed to frighten him out of his mind. He scurried over to her and they started their walk. Venellope gave him a pretty accurate description of Kovu and they started their search. They bumped into a redheaded girl and her brother, and got a little held back due to the fact that Randall was apologizing like there was no tomorrow. After his embarrassment cooled off, Venellope gave them a look and continued on their way, with Randy not far behind. The supervisors instructed them to come inside and they obeyed promptly. When inside the classroom, Randall rested his hand on her shoulder.
"Maybe he's sick." He said warmly. But she soon stood up to wave at Kovu, who spotted her immediately and hurried over. He sat next to Randall. "Hello." Randall said shyly. "My name's Randall Boggs. But you can call me Randy! What's your name?"
"Im Kovu Outseid. But you can call me Lion King." He looked at the boy and smiled. Randall was overwhelmed with joy. He had just made two new friends. TWO!
"Will you two stop? Your'e making me gassy." Venellope said teasingly. "But Randy, I have a feeling that this is the start of a beautiful friendship." Randall could only smile at the thought of that.
And Venellpe finally felt like she was home.
Rapunzel's View (current age: 5):
Rapunzel Corona was skipping happily to kindergarden. She lived nearby, so her parents didn't have to drive her there. She enjoyed the breeze of the wind in her hair. It made her feel alive. She soon reached the small building and hopped excitedly into the swarm of children. She started looking for her best friend, Anna Arendelle, as soon as she got there. But there were many children roaming around the courtyard, so she didn't have a clue on where to start looking. She roamed around and met some new people. After some time, she finally found Anna, but the supervisors told them to go inside, spoiling their reunion. When they got into the classroom, she sat beside Anna, as she always did, leaving a space in the middle. She wanted to talk to Anna, but when she turned around, her friend was looking at a blonde little girl, who was approaching them. 'This is going to be a long year...' She thought to herself.
Hans's View (current age: 6):
Hans Arendelle held his sister close to him. He didn't trust anyone except himself with her friendship, only opening a rare exception for Rapunzel. Even though he let her go for a few moments, but he kept her in his crosshairs, stepping in every time a schoolmate tried to socialize with her. She eventually found Rapunzel, and they were directed to class. He couldn't keep her under his watch all the time, and he knew that.
Sorry for shorter viewpoints for Hans, Kovu, Kiara and Rapunzel. I was more exited in introducing Randall. Sorry. And i'm not making a viewpoint for him. It's awkward enough to write about Randy before the start of the story, in which he'll get more spotlight.
When all the children settled down in their tables of five, with the exception of Venellope's table, who was excused because of the lack of students, The teacher barged in. He was a happy-go-lucky kind of man, his appearance shouted it out like a maniac. He was wearing blue clothes with faint traces of yellow. He had a beard that connected with his mustache. He had a big earring hanging from one of his ears. He was grinning like a madman. "Good morning children" He started excitedly. "My name, is Henry Clopin. But you all can call me Clopin. I'll be your teacher for the next two years." He seemed cheerful enough. He actually had a great sense of humor, and usually would bring a puppet version of himself for entertainment reasons. 6 months passed by very quickly thanks to simple assignments and fun in general. Until, in the middle of the school year, he had an announcement to make.
"Hush now children. I have a very exiting announcement to make. We have two next students. I expect you all to respect them as you have been respecting the rest of your classmates. Was I clear? Can anyone tell me what I think about bullies?"
A hand shot up. The hand of the almost always preset Randall Boggs. "You think that they could die in a hole?" He said awkwardly. No one had the guts to say this.
"Very good, mr. Boggs!" He turned to go out of the door. And in came two children, hand in hand.
Elsa and Edgar's View (current ages : 5 years old for both)
Elsa held her brother's hands tightly. Her family had just finished moving in and they were already being sent to kindergarden. They moved from Norway, from very far away, to come to live in Los Angeles, California. They were being taken there by their mother, who was giving them words of encouragement. Elsa looked beside her to look at her twin brother, who was silently looking back at her. She leaned in to hug him, in an attempt to tell him that everything was fine. But he had none of it. He knew his sister better than that.
"Listen, it's going to be okay. When we get there, mom is gonna register us into the school, and we'll be walking right into that classroom. Everyone is gonna love us, you'll see." He shot her a toothy smile. She smiled right back at him. Nobody knew her like her brother did. When they arrived, her mother led them inside. Elsa didn't let go of Edgar's hand though. She was scared stiff at the thought that they would be left out because of their different hair colors, or even their last names. But the conforming thought of Edgar standing up for her shook those thoughts away. He had always been there for her, and he always would. They sat in chairs, waiting for their mother to finish with the registration. When she did, she kissed them in the cheeks, bid them goodbye and left. A moment later, they were directed to a classroom. They stood out there for about a minute, until the teacher came out. Elsa let out a giggle, and that was well received by the grinning man.
"Hello children. Will you be my new students?" Edgar and Elsa nodded. "Very good then. You'll like it here, I guarantee! I can also guarantee that no one will be mean to any of you. Now, I'll tell the rest of the class that new students have arrived. After I do that, you come in. You can tell me your names when you come into the class, okay?" They nodded in agreement, Elsa being slightly reassured with the teachers words. "My name is Henry Clopin, by the way. But students tend to call me Clopin." She smiled, turned around, and entered the classroom. After a few moments passed, he peaked his head out and gestured them to come in.
"Class, these are the new students" He looked at them brightly. "Go on now. Tell the class your names."
"My name is Edgar" He started shyly. He could notice his sister gripping tighter at his hand. "And this is my sister Elsa. But when we're together, you can call us Winterland twins. Okay?" Edgar wasn't even nervous. He was a natural. Elsa felt a pair of eyes looking at her, so she got out from behind her brother's back to see who it was. Looking back at her was a little redheaded girl, with freckles scattered all across her face. Elsa smiled lightly, and the girl's face shone with happiness. But the silence was crossed by their teacher's enthusiastic voice.
"All right, now that we all know each other, you can go sit on Venellope's table, who just needs two more members to complete the five person quota." Edgar nodded in agreement, while Elsa just kept starring at the girl. She felt a light tug and she was being dragged. He directed her to the table as they sat down. Sitting across from them were three kids. The only girl held her hand out to Edgar, who seemed to be the most open of the two.
"Hi there. I'm Venellope Von Schweetz." She said during the handshake. "And these are Kovu Outseid and Randall Boggs." Both Edgar and Elsa looked at the two boys. Kovu looked boringly normal, but Randall had something to him. His hair, like their own, didn't have the natural shades of blond, brown or black. It was purple. And he wore big, round glasses, that must have tripled his eye size. But he just smiled at the pair.
"But" Randall piped in. "You can call me Randy if you want. Since we'll be friends for life, you better get accustomed." He said with a cheeky grin.
Class passed by faster and faster, as the trio made their introductions and vice-versa, with Edgar and Elsa telling them about their life. And then it was break. A glorious 30 minutes Elsa could pass alone with her brother, or maybe with her new friends. But a warm hand got hold of her arm while she was at the hall. It was the redheaded girl she caught staring at her. She smiled weakly and she earned a smile back from the girl.
"Hi." The ginger started. "My name's Anna Arendelle. I really like your hair. Is it naturally this white?" Elsa nodded, and Anna giggled. "What's the matter? Don't talk much? We'll get that bad habit out of the way. We'll become best friends and-"
"ANNA!" She was interrupted by a very angry boy. "What are you doing, talking to this girl?" He turned to Elsa, who felt defenseless against this stranger. "And what do you think you're doing, talking to my sister? Huh? Tell me!" He shoved Elsa to the ground, making her whine a little. Her eyes started tearing up. "You don't get to talk to anyone, get it?" Elsa nodded her head furiously, fear overcoming her. But that feeling didn't last very long, as it was substituted by hope almost instantly, because her brother had grabbed her attacker and pinned him to a wall. This attack did not go unnoticed. Edgar had 'Angry' written just by the expression on his face.
"HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY SISTER THE WAY YOU JUST DID, YOU USELESS PIECE OF TRASH!" All the school was watching, including Elsa, Anna, Venellope, Randall and Kovu. "WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO TREAT HER THAT WAY? YOUR SISTER WANTED TO SOCIALIZE, AND YOU PREVENT HER, AND THEN HURT ELSA WHO HAD DONE NOTHING WRONG? YOU ARE LOWER THAN TRASH." He finished, letting Hans out of his grasp. But all that earned from Hans was a throaty laugh.
"Do you know who you just threatened? Do you have ANY idea? I am HANS ARENDELLE, and I can make your life a living hell. You don't want to get on my bad side" Hans said firmly.
"Oh, then I'm afraid you should't have gone around hurting my sister for no apparent reason." Edgar leaned down to help Elsa on her feet. Her shoulder was slightly bruised, but nothing serious. And without saying another word to Hans, he left alongside Elsa, Venellope, Randall and Kovu.
And every year after that, Edgar and Hans had gathered bigger groups of friends, and every year they would find each other, was it preschool, middle school and now, they were going into high school. Hans had to redo a year because of his bad grades, so he started having classes with them. And it became progressively awkward. But that was not the time to think about it.
