A/N: Thanks for your support guys! :)
Sorry for the time skips ahead, but it leads to some of the main stuff. Hehe I promise that later there wouldn't be as much time skips. Like later later because you know, there's going to be more stuff.
Anyways, enjoy!
"What did I even do wrong?" Anna mumbled, pacing back and forth in her bedroom. Rapunzel sat on her bed, looking at Anna with sorrowful eyes. It was now afterschool of the last day, signaling the start of winter break. Anna was confused. She was angry, angry at herself for pulling something as stupid as that. She should've known; she should've known that Elsa would never be interested in her at all. Anna didn't deserve Elsa's forgiveness for all those years; all those torturous years of pain to her.
Rapunzel looked at her friend, lost and confused. She didn't deserve this, none of them did. Rapunzel's mind was screaming at her to tell Anna, to tell Anna everything but then something was preventing her to. She remembered her conversation she had with Hans during lunch today, when Rapunzel was supposed to meet Anna at her locker but instead, met an irritated and pissed off Hans.
Rapunzel leaned against Anna's locker and waited for her to arrive. She was supposed to be here ten minutes ago. The main hall held a few people here and there, as everyone else went to go to rather a meeting for whatever they had to do or to the cafeteria to eat lunch. Rapunzel looked around, searching for her red headed friend.
Instead, she saw Hans approach her, irritation etched across his face and Rapunzel knew that something was up.
Hans approached Rapunzel and slapped her right across the face when he arrived. Rapunzel flinched at the touch but then turned towards Hans with shock and anger in her eyes.
"What was that for?!" Hans just growled at Rapunzel. He was obviously irritated and mad at something, but Rapunzel didn't know exactly what yet until he told her.
"You think this is funny? You and your little mouth can't shut up and you just had to go and tell Anna this morning about it? All because I didn't tell you what I did wrong, you had to go and tell Anna?" Rapunzel's face changed to confusion.
"Wait what are you talking about?" Rapunzel asked and Hans grabbed Rapunzel's throat, slamming her against the locker and reducing her oxygen intake level.
"Do not play with me Rapunzel. I know that you told Anna about my plan and about how I forced you to go and ruin Elsa's decision. All because I didn't tell you what I followed up with to ruin them. Well you know what, since you want to know so desperately, that night of the football game, I knew that Elsa would approach Anna so; I talked to Anna before about something else. Before she boarded the bus, I had asked her about that date night her and I had in the beginning of the school year, where I picked my ego over her. I asked her if she regretted that night, if she regretted that night about how I took her out and she told me no. Obviously, Anna with her kind hearted soul had decided to lie. So, I told her that I'll ask her again after the game, and told her to tell me the truth. Then, hopefully you can think of everything else that went down after that." Hans smirked and then continued with an infuriated tone.
"And now, thanks to your actions, Anna and I broke up." Hans growled and Rapunzel tried to pry Hans' hands away from her throat. Rapunzel was able to choke out.
"I didn't say anything Hans" And Hans let go of Rapunzel's throat, his face had a pinch of confusion in them. He realized what he had done, what he had just said to Rapunzel and his eyes were filled with hate.
"Then if you didn't say anything, why would Anna and I break things off?" Rapunzel just shrugged her shoulder and pushed off of Anna's locker, getting ready to leave Hans' presence.
"Maybe she doesn't feel anything for you anymore?" Rapunzel started walking away from Hans before he grabbed her arm roughly, causing Rapunzel to slightly flinch at the contact. Hans pulled Rapunzel into him and whispered harshly in her ear.
"If you dare to speak a single word about our conversation we just had or anything about that night to Anna, Elsa or anyone else, then so be it that you will suffer, Flynn will suffer, Elsa and her friends will suffer and since I'm not with Anna anymore, she will suffer as well. I have my connections Rapunzel, and don't think that I won't be able to get away with it because I will." Hans pushed Rapunzel away and walked in the opposite direction of where Rapunzel was originally going to head. Rapunzel stood there, frozen and paralyzed as the words sunk in about what Hans would do if Rapunzel let word slip.
"Elsa! You coming?" Olaf yelled from the bottom of the stairs, their duffle bags swung on their right shoulder as they waited for their best friend to come and support them at their game. Kristoff and Olaf waited at the bottom of the staircase, being the last day of first semester didn't mean that it was the last of their basketball games and practices. Olaf waited patiently and looked at the clock. If they weren't going to leave now, they would miss the bus to go to the game, taking their own car to drive there themselves there.
As captains, Olaf and Kristoff, one or the other or maybe even both had to go on the bus with everyone else to the game if it was an away game, going over their game plan and the weaknesses and strengths of the other team. Olaf sighed and leaned against the door. What was taking Elsa so long?
Finally, Elsa walked down the stairs and arrived in her navy blue hoodie and shorts from today. She had to finish up some of her homework before heading off with Kristoff and Olaf.
Elsa nodded her head, no feeling, no expression and emotion on her face. She walked past them and to Kristoff's red pick-up truck, sitting in the back and looking down.
Olaf looked at Kristoff sadly and gave him a sigh. Olaf then exited the house and walked towards the red pick-up truck, sitting down in the passenger seat. Kristoff turned back and looked at the living room. Elsa was losing herself slowly and slowly as time went by, and Kristoff didn't like it. He was afraid of what was to come in the future if Elsa kept losing herself and giving in.
So, Kristoff closed the door and locked it behind him before swinging his keys in his right pointer finger and walking towards the driver's seat. Once he entered and started the engine, he looked at his rear mirror to see Elsa looking out the window with a saddened expression. Kristoff let out a sigh and the car backed out of the garage and entered onto the road, a silence was the only thing heard in the car.
"You what?" her father slammed his hands onto the kitchen table. The Arendelle family was gathered around the dinner table, Kai and Gerda sitting across of Anna. They sat in the long white marble polished table and Kai didn't believe what his daughter had just said. One week of winter break was gone, two weeks left of the break and next week was the Winter Ball. Anna flinched at her father's voice and just sat there uneasy. Anna played with her baked potato, moving it back and forth with her fork on her plate.
"Honey, calm down." Gerda said to her husband slowly and Kai just shook his head.
"How could you break up with such a charming and successful boyfriend like Hans? He's like your one in a million kind of guy! It's difficult to find other guys like that in the world Anna and you just threw him away?" Kai said and Anna stood up and slammed her hands onto the table, her eyes fighting with fire.
"Because I don't love him anymore father. You aren't the one that broke up with him; you weren't the one in the relationship! Why are you so disappointed that I broke up with him?" Anna growled and his father looked at her.
"Because he was such a great guy! He had a bright future ahead of him Anna!" Anna put her fist down.
"But I stopped loving him father! Can you not accept the fact that he wasn't the one for me? That I don't love him anymore! I can't be in a relationship just because you would want me to! I should be happy in one and I wasn't happy lately in that one!" Anna looked at her father, waiting for him to yell back, waiting for him to reply back.
"Who are you going to bring to the Winter Ball then Anna?" Anna sighed and a person popped up in her head.
Elsa?
But then Anna shook that thought away. She wasn't going to agree, she wouldn't. But, maybe Anna could try right? What was she going to lose anyways? She never had Elsa in the first place.
"I don't know okay!"
"Hans would've be-" her father started and Anna cut him off again, more anger in her tone.
"Hans would not have been the ideal person to go to the ball with father! Stop talking about Hans and how he had a bright future and was the right guy for me because in the end, he wasn't and he will never be!" Anna groaned, pushing her chair back and leaving the table without asking to be excused. She was pissed; she was irritated. Why was her father so against her for the fact that she broke up with Hans? Shouldn't fathers be against the fact that their daughter had a boyfriend in the first place?
Anna finally arrived at her room and slammed the door shut so that everyone else in the huge house could hear. Anna locked the door and walked over to her bed before flopping onto it, her face in her pillow and she let out a scream.
After a short moment, Anna lifted her head up from the pillow and groaned inwardly. Her father was right; who was she going to bring to the Winter Ball? Anna wanted to bring her, bring Elsa but then wouldn't she say no? She must probably say no unless…
Anna looked at her calendar to see that there was a boys' basketball game tonight at this moment on this Saturday night.
She had to try right?
Elsa sat in the bleachers, watching her two friends run down the court and throw the ball up. Elsa frowned when she saw a jump ball happen and the ball go to the opposing team. She was still there for her best friends, her boys. But, before she would use to be the loudest person out there, cheering them on. Now, here she was, silent and awkward. She never even clapped for any of the amazing shots made or the amazing dives. She just watched silently as the ball went back and forth.
She was losing herself and Elsa knew that. But, she never did anything about it. If she did do something about it, it wouldn't help at all. It would probably get worse. So, Elsa just accepted fate and let time do whatever it had to do, whether having time recover it or having it worsen it.
The basketball season was coming to a stop and go. Elsa watched as the boys dribbled the ball down and passed it to one another. Finally, she felt a presence next to her and Elsa looked to the left of her to see Anna, dressed in blue shorts and a yellow tank top. Elsa sighed and was about to stand up and move when Anna had grabbed her wrist.
"Elsa can I just ask you something please?" Elsa shook her head and replied coldly.
"What is there to even talk about Anna? I thought you and I had made ourselves clear." Anna flinched at her voice. She wasn't going to give up though, she had to try right?
"Elsa can I just ask you something please?" Elsa looked at her with an irritated face.
"Hurry and make it quick." Elsa snapped at Anna and Anna flinched a bit. Anna grabbed a bouquet of roses that she was able to hide behind her small Jansport bag and she bit her lip before asking.
"Uh, so there's this Winter Ball that my father holds because you know… Arendelle Records and all and I was wondering if I could accompany you to the Winter Ball? I mean you could also ask Olaf and Kristoff to come along if you want to and…" Anna continued on and Elsa shook her head.
"No." Elsa said harshly, ripping her hand away from Anna's grasp before turning on her back and walking away from Anna. Anna watched Elsa walk away and let out a sigh. She had to try right? Anna turned around the opposite direction and got off the bleachers, walking to the exit of the gym and throwing away the bouquet of roses.
It was the day before the winter ball and Anna laid down on her bed, reading a good big book with a leather binding. Anna knew tomorrow was the winter ball and she knew what she was exactly going to do. She heard knocks on her door and told the person to come in. Her father had entered Anna's room and gave a sigh. It was now Thursday night; the night before the Winter Ball. The family already had dinner and Anna's father didn't mention anything about the Winter Ball or about Hans ever since Saturday night. School was going to commence in about a week and Anna had finished all her homework.
Anna's father sighed and leaned against Anna's doorframe while she was reading a book.
"So… Who are you going to bring to the winter ball honey?" Anna scoffed at how her father came in to ask about who was going to accompany her to the winter ball, not an apology about Saturday.
"Yea father… I've decided to not attend this year." Anna mumbled and her father's eyes widened the size of quarters. He started stuttering.
"W-What d-d-o-o yo-o-u m-m-mean Anna?" He said and Anna just shrugged her shoulders, her eyes still on her book.
"I'm not attending the ball father. I'm not bringing anyone and I might as well not attend. I'm not in the mood for it either. Plus, tomorrow is Christmas after all father. You're having winter ball on a Christmas day?"
"And that's the more to go to the Winter Ball honey!" Kai Arendelle exclaimed. Anna just shrugged her shoulders and sighed.
"Can you just please allow me to not go to this year's Winter Ball? I'm really not in the mood." Anna sighed and Kai decided to give in, knowing how stubborn his daughter was. He walked over to her bed and kissed her on the forehead.
"If you say so honey. Good Night Anna." Her father said and Anna nodded her head, not sparing even one glance at her father.
"Good night dad." Anna said as Kai walked towards the door and eventually, closed it silently and softly.
Once Anna heard her father's footsteps fade away, Anna placed her book down and got up from her bed. She walked over to her closet and swung it open to see a nicely medium sized gift wrapped in snowflakes in front of her. Anna picked up the gift and let out a smile. She had a mission tomorrow.
"Murray Christmas Elsa!" Olaf jumped onto Elsa's bed. Elsa groaned and rolled over the other side, burying her head into her pillow. Then, Kristoff jumped on Elsa's side.
"Wake up Elsa! It's Christmas!" Kristoff chuckled and Olaf let out a smile.
"Come on Elsa! Santa has left presents under the Christmas tree!" Olaf chuckled and Elsa groaned.
"Santa doesn't exist, leave me alone." And Olaf looked at Kristoff sadly. Usually, Kristoff would be the one that says Santa doesn't exist and Elsa would be the believer. Now, she didn't believe in Santa or anything at this point. Her condition was getting worse.
"Elsa please." Kristoff pleaded and Elsa shook her head, her face still stuffed into her pillow.
"No guys. It's 6 A.M. in the morning. Do me a favor and let me get some sleep." Elsa groaned and Olaf got off Elsa's bed, defeated. Kristoff on the other hand had let out a huff and grabbed Elsa by the waist before picking her up and throwing her on his back.
"Put me down Kristoff! I swear you're going to get it if you don't put me down right now!" Elsa screeched and Kristoff just rolled his eyes before leaving the room and walking down the staircase to the living room.
Olaf just shook his head and chuckled before following them.
"Kristoff you're going to get it! Put me down this instant!" Kristoff shrugged his shoulders before throwing Elsa down onto the couch. Elsa fell butt first on the couch and crossed her arms, glaring at Kristoff who had a silly smirk on his face. Olaf had arrived and gestured towards the Christmas tree, having seven presents under there. Elsa looked at the presents and had confusion etched over her face. There should be six having only the three best friends.
"Okay now Kristopher, you'll go first!" Olaf chuckled and Kristoff rolled his eyes.
"Kristoff." Olaf handed him a medium sized gift box with red wrapping paper.
"Same thing same thing!" Olaf chuckled and watched Kristoff open his presents, ripping at the paper harshly.
Olaf had then opened his presents after Kristoff, ripping the paper but in a cleaner manner.
Elsa on the other hand, had just opened her present slowly and gently, not making a single rip on the wrapping paper.
After they were all done opening their presents, one present stood under the Christmas tree. Olaf went over to the present and picked it up, looking between Kristoff and Elsa and then walking towards Elsa. Elsa looked at him confused and he smiled at her.
"After you went to bed last night, someone left this at our door. It was to you, so I decided to put it under the tree as well. I'm not sure what it is but you can open it to see." Olaf chuckled and Elsa raised her eyebrow at him.
"How do you know it's not a bomb or something? What happens if a serial killer put this at our door?" Olaf just shrugged his shoulders.
"I saw who it was that gave it to you. They told me to keep it a secret and that I shouldn't worry about anything bad in it." Olaf said and Elsa nodded her head. She was handed the present as she slowly and carefully looked at the details of it. It was a light blue medium sized present with snowflakes littered all over it.
Elsa carefully tugged at the ribbon as it let itself go. Once the ribbon was off, Elsa gingerly un-wrapped the gift. When it was just a plain old white box, Elsa opened it up and looked inside to see some custom made shoes. Elsa picked up the shoe and looked at it carefully. It was like a structure of a converse but it didn't have the logo. It was dark blue and white, having a few snowflakes and a snowman designed on the shoes and on the white heel part of the shoe, it had said 'Merry Christmas'. Elsa always needed new shoes, but she never really had the time to go and buy it. It was just the right size and the quality of the shoe was amazing, probably able to last for maybe a few years if Elsa didn't do something really extreme with it.
"I love it! Who was it from?" Elsa looked at Olaf with a small smile on her face and Olaf shrugged his shoulders.
"I promised them not to tell you who they were and you know how I like to keep my promises." Olaf said and Elsa nodded her head.
"Well I love them. They're perfect." Elsa smiled and Olaf let out a chuckle.
"I'm glad you like it Elsa." Olaf said and Kristoff stood up from his side of the couch.
"Well, let's go have some Christmas breakfast shall we? I'll make it!" Kristoff chuckled, causing Elsa's and Olaf's eyes to light up at the sound of food.
The three best friends then scurried into the kitchen, getting ready to have their traditional Christmas breakfast together.
Anna lay against her bed and sighed. She was alone on Christmas, but she kind of just wanted to be alone to sort out everything she needed to do. Next week was the last week of winter break before third quarter would start. Then, there would be spring break in March then fourth quarter would commence. There was also Junior Prom right before spring break would start. Anna sighed. Who was she going to go to Junior Prom with? Hans and her had broken up already and she was probably going to be expected to go by everyone else.
Why did she even have to meet to everyone's expectations? Couldn't she just do whatever she pleased?
Probably, but Rapunzel would pull her out of her room and force her to go to Prom.
Anna sighed and closed her eyes. Her life was simple. All she had to do was do whatever her father wanted and keep living life working hard and being the great daughter that her parents appreciated. She didn't have to worry about Hans and whatever he was going to pull on her and she didn't need to live up to anyone's expectations. People should just accept who she was, and they did.
But, no one saw Anna's genuine side that was hidden. Everyone saw her as the goody two shoes girl that was hard-working, Ms. Popular and was Miss Perfect at everything. That was partially true but sometimes, sometimes Anna just wanted to let it go and allow mistakes to come and then go eventually.
Anna laid back on her bed and sighed. She had gotten everything she wanted for Christmas again as usual this year. She had gotten everything she wanted, from a car to money or even to macaroons. But, she would give that all up in an instant to have her.
"Damnit Anna stop it! Stop thinking about her." Anna groaned to herself. Little details of her started to crowd into her mind. How soft and silky smooth her hair was, how intense her blue eyes were, how adorable she looked when she was trying to concentrate on something, how her nose scrunched up around strong smells like alcohol and how soft she was…
"Stop it!" Anna let out a frustrated sigh. This wasn't helping at all. She needed to get over her, she needed to get over the fact that she was the one Anna would never get and Anna would have to accept that. She had to accept the fact that they weren't meant to be and she would never have feelings for her.
And as Anna closed her eyes, thoughts of her started to swarm her head again. Anna frowned and just accepted it. She knew that she couldn't fight off her feelings, her thoughts. So, she just accepted it for the time being, eventually drifting off into sleep.
-Two months later-
Today was it, today was game day. The state championships were right now and their own school was hosting it. Kristoff slipped on his shoes and grabbed his school bag and duffle bag. It was a Friday night and around the end of February. Third quarter had gone by and Elsa was still cold as usual while Anna had tried to pry her eyes away from Elsa, working hard in her studies and on her off time, hanging out with Rapunzel. Two weeks was until Junior Prom was to come and besides all the hype about the championship game, there was hype about Junior Prom and people's dresses and such.
Kristoff shuffled through his duffle bag and made sure everything was there. Water bottle, socks, shoes, extra clothes, deodorant. Kristoff was excited, he was pumped about tonight. They would face the best team, South High School, at basketball and Kristoff was excited. He was waiting downstairs by the door for Olaf and Elsa to come. Elsa had arrived first, decked out in her favorite plain dark blue navy jacket and blue skinny jeans. She was also wearing the shoes that some mysterious person had got her for Christmas. Elsa came down with a small smile on her face and Kristoff smiled back.
Better than having no smile at all or a frown from her now and days.
Elsa's emotions were out of hand now. They were getting worse and worse. She never was the happy Elsa anymore. She was just sad and depressed or cold Elsa. She never even laughed anymore, even to Olaf and Kristoff. She was like a cold block of ice, no emotions at all. Kristoff and Olaf had a meeting about this and Olaf had told Kristoff about how he had a plan up his sleeve.
On the off hand, their Junior year was almost over and they were going to be seniors! Kristoff was also pumped up about that. Right now, the clock ticked 7:30 as the two best friends waited for Olaf to arrive. Eventually, he did arrive but on the phone, talking to someone in his most sophisticated and polite manner and voice ever.
"Yes I understand. I'll get back to you on that by tomorrow morning… Thank you!" Olaf hung up on the phone and looked at Kristoff, who tilted his head to the side in question. Olaf just shrugged it off and gestured towards the door, his duffle bag slung on the right of his shoulder and his school bag on his back.
"Shall we go and start this epic day?" Olaf chuckled, getting a huge grin from Kristoff and a plain nod from Elsa. Olaf frowned at Elsa's reaction as Kristoff opened the front door and headed towards his red pick-up truck. Olaf saw Elsa follow slowly and he frowned. He dare hoped that his plan was going to work. Olaf then locked the front door and walked over to the pick-up truck, sitting in the passenger seat.
A/N: Next chapter is going to be about the game and other stuff. Thanks for all your support guys! Welp, I have to go and study for Japanese and Chem test. Two more days of school until a week of spring break! (Oh my gosh finally yes! Haha and you know what that means ;) )
