"School is starting! Oh my gosh, I'm so nervous!" Olaf squealed, causing an eye roll from Elsa. Once they had landed in New York, Elsa, Olaf and Kristoff placed their bags in their room, got some rest and decided to explore the city once again.

Elsa felt uncomfortable. She never really remembered how New York was like, only being there for nine years before she moved to California. All Elsa remembered was being told that she was moving for her dad's work, salty tears, a blur of trees and rapid loud footsteps.

She didn't even remember a single person from her childhood. The only people that clouded her childhood now were Olaf and Kristoff. Olaf was jumping up and down on Elsa's bed, while Kristoff's eyes gleamed with excitement.

Elsa sat on her computer mesh chair, an identical one that she had in California. The rooms in the condo that Elsa's parents had were smaller, but the structure of location for each furniture in the house was exactly like the one in California.

Kristoff and Olaf glanced simultaneously at their best friend to see that she was in deep thought. That was going to change, their time here was going to change and they were going to have fun. Elsa will find herself again. She had no other option.

Her blue eyes finally looked up and met the intense stares of her best friends. She cowered. Why were they looking at her like that?

Olaf yawned, standing up on his feet on the bed and stretched out. Elsa watched as he jumped down from the bed and walked over to his sleeping bag. He crawled inside and made himself comfortable. Kristoff got off the ground and walked over to his sleeping bag opposite of Elsa, where he snuggled in as well. Olaf had a silly smile plastered on his face.

"Good night guys! Can't wait for school tomorrow!" Olaf laughed and Kristoff snorted.

"That's a first." Kristoff joked before feeling sleep consume him as well, leaving Elsa awake. She wasn't excited; she was petrified, scared, nervous. She didn't know anyone at all from the high school! What happens if she gets bullied all over again? It wouldn't help for her recovery process.

"Go sleep Elsa, stop worrying too much. I bet you that majority of the people at our new high school will remember you and praise you, unlike the jerks in California." Olaf mumbled before drifting off into his dream world. Elsa took a breath. Olaf was right; she had to just think positive. If they did bully her, it was only for a quarter. Elsa stood up from her mesh chair and staggered over to her bed. She went under the covers and slowly felt sleep consume her.

This was good for all of them. It gave them time away from their problems and gave Elsa time away from her. Everything was going to be all right.

Red hair stuck everywhere and a horrendous monster crawled through the hallways. Her bags had bags under her eyes and they were red. Absolutely red.

One would have never guessed it to be Anna Arendelle.

She was always so organized, well dressed and happy. Now, she just looked downright depressed. She was a mess; she was the plant that needed its carbon dioxide. She was a human that needed its water.

She is depressed, she is a mess.

And right now, everyone looked at her as if she was a new student that didn't know proper etiquette.

Anna trudged over to her locker and sighed, swinging it open and throwing her books inside, not giving a shit if it wasn't organized.

She haunted her. After that glorious incident that happened on Junior Prom, Anna couldn't get her out of her mind, it was only her throughout the whole spring break and it was only her throughout the whole first week of school back from spring break.

On the first day back, Anna had waited, she waited for her to come through those main door hallways. She even stayed thirty minutes after the morning bell rang for her. She waited, waited for Elsa throughout the whole first day back. She waited for her in the classrooms, she waited for her at her locker, and she even waited for her afterschool.

But, Elsa never arrived. Anna spent the majority of her free time that was supposed to be dedicated for homework to wait for Elsa, to wait for her to walk through those doors. But, it never came.

This resulted in a monster-like Anna to arrive on Friday morning. Anna wanted to know where she was. She couldn't be sick could she? Kristoff and Olaf never arrived at school either and it would queer if all three of them were sick at the same time. Olaf and Kristoff would never ditch, not with Elsa around.

Then, the thought had stuck her in the middle of the night yesterday, after she had another nightmare.

Elsa wasn't here. It would explain why Anna never saw her nor Kristoff and Olaf at school. It would explain why their car was never there.

Then, where were the trio?

Anna was going to find out eventually, she had to. She would go by all means just to see if Elsa was okay.

The moment Elsa, Kristoff and Olaf walked into their new high school the first day was the moment that Elsa ever felt like she was popular.

Majority of the kids there waved at Elsa, asking her if she remembered them and Elsa felt bad each time she had to say a reply of no in the most softest and nicest manner.

Then, the first week had ended quickly. Elsa, Olaf and Kristoff made a few friends in their high school, but never really would consider them as a best friend. They just all kept to themselves, enjoying the new life and the new teachers. Enjoying the new city and the new attractions.

Elsa was standing by her locker, Kristoff and Olaf had wandered off to adore their gym again. Elsa simply rolled her eyes at them. She was slowly recovering, giving out small smiles to everyone. She still never laughed or had that happiness in her eyes, but the smiles were a step. Baby steps, baby steps.

Elsa closed her locker quietly and gently, but it didn't really matter how much noise she made considering the fact that the whole hallway was bursting with conversations. People everywhere were talking about that baseball game that was happening tonight or about their outrageous teachers giving them tests and projects already.

What made Elsa very uncomfortable was about how these students were talking about them. When they talked about Elsa, Kristoff, and Olaf, it was of praise. Whether it would have been how attractive they looked to how fit or smart they were.

Once Elsa had closed her locker and turned her body position right to get ready to head over to the exit, she was faced to face with a girl with milk chocolate hair that went just a bit below her shoulders. She had a bit of a tannish skin color and had hazel eyes that shined bright with happiness. Elsa had never been faced with this much happiness… Not ever since the night.

Oh gosh, she was not supposed to think of her problems! The point of this trip was to get away from her problems, not go on it to think and mope about her problems.

The girl in front of Elsa spoke up, snapping Elsa out of her raging mind.

"Hey! Do you remember who I am?" the hazel girl asked Elsa and she tilted her head slightly to the right, her eyebrows furrowing together.

"Umm… No sorry." Elsa saw her eyes flash with sadness and she continued quickly. "But if you introduce yourself, it might spark a memory?" the girl's eyes light up again and Elsa let out a breath of relief. Thank goodness, she didn't want to face tears from anyone due to her lack of memory of her original childhood.

"My name is Belle! I was your best friend before you know… left for some unknown reason without telling any of us!" Belle said, her eyes quickly saddening and Elsa felt her head turn. Belle…. Belle? Why does that name sound so familiar?

"Elsa! Elsa!" a toddler that looked like a smaller version of Belle ran over to a long haired platinum blonde girl that looked to be in second grade. There was small specks of snow raining down outside and the little Belle shook her best friend, who was looking out the window.

"Yes Belle?" the little Elsa laughed at her best friend. Belle was there for her ever since preschool, introducing her to everyone else in the school.

"It's snowing! It's snowing!" Belle tugged on her best friend's wrist and Elsa's lips curved upward.

"Yes I know it's snowing Belle. I'm not blind!" Elsa chuckled and Belle pulled her best friend's wrist, but she never moved at all. She just stayed at the window seat and looked outside, seeing the gentle snowfall.

"Let's build a snowman Elsa! Let's build a snowman!" Belle exclaimed and Elsa just glanced at her best friend before turning her attention back to the window. Belle frowned at Elsa and continued on with her pleas.

"Please Elsa! Don't be such a party pooper! Come outside with me!" Belle exclaimed and Elsa still ignored her protests, keeping a straight face.

"Elsa!" Belle sat upon the window seat and hugged her best friend from the side, burying her face into her hair. This was what best friends do, they act all girly around each other and they're there for each other.

Elsa sighed and glanced over to Belle, who dug her face into Elsa's undone hair. Elsa felt wet drops onto her neck and she frowned.

"Okay okay Belle, we can go build a snowman." The brunette pulled away from Elsa and she sniffled, looking at her best friend teary eyed.

"Really Elsa?" the brown girl croaked and Elsa sighed, pulling her best friend into a hug.

"Yes, yes we can go. Why are you crying Brownie?" Elsa and Belle had nicknames for each other. They were pretty childish and didn't really make sense, but it was an inside joke between them.

"I thought… I thought that you didn't want to talk to me anymore and I thought you didn't want to hang out with me and hated me." Belle frowned and Elsa just smiled at her friend.

"I'm not going to leave you Belle! Don't worry about that!" Elsa pulled away and brushed her fingers against Belle's tears that were rolling down her soft cheeks. Elsa gave a smile.

"Now let's go build a snowman!" Elsa giggled when Belle squealed. Belle immediately grabbed Elsa's wrist and dragged her down the stairs and out of the door.

Elsa looked back at Belle to see her staring at Elsa intently. Was there something on her face? Elsa placed her fingers over her cheeks, over her forehead and her chins and nose. She looked back at her fingers to see nothing. Was there something in her mouth? Was there that salad she had this morning stuck in her teeth? Elsa brushed her tongue through her own teeth, not finding a single residue there.

Belle was still staring at Elsa, but her lips were slowly curving upwards and Elsa was confused.

Why is she smiling? Is there something in my hair? Elsa brushed a hand through her hair, not seeing anything fall or land upon her hand.

Then, Elsa heard Belle laugh and look up at her, seeing a huge smile upon her face. Elsa bit the corner of her lip slightly. Belle laughed harder at Elsa's action and Elsa gave up, speaking up.

"Why are you laughing at me? And giving me that look?" Belle stopped laughing and gave a smile at Elsa.

"You're still as insecure as I remember. And you still bite the corner of your bottom lip when you're confused. Do you still scrunch your nose up around horrendous smells?" Belle smiled and Elsa looked at Belle with a bizarre look.

"Brownie?" Elsa replied quietly and Belle's eyes lighted up even brighter.

"You remember!" Elsa felt herself be enveloped into a warm hug by the girl. Elsa felt a waft of roses and a pinch of cinnamon come through her nose. It smelled delightful and very different. Elsa stood there stiff for the beginning before deciding that it would be rude if she didn't hug back. Elsa never even remembered her first childhood friend! Elsa slowly wrapped her arms around the think girl in front of her, feeling warmth penetrate through her.

The girl pulled away from Elsa after a minute and gave her a bright smile.

"I missed you Elsa…" Elsa gave a small smile at Belle. She watched Belle look Elsa up and down and whistle.

"Might I say, puberty and adolescence was kind to you." Belle continued, causing a faint blush to form on Elsa's face. Belle noticed and immediately laughed at her. She linked arms with Elsa and gave her a friendly smile.

"Come on! I'm going to show you the great places here in New York and what changed. After all, you haven't been here for seven years. I should give you a tour, considering that you owe me after you said you never remembered me." Belle laughed and Elsa nodded her head. It was afterschool and Kristoff and Olaf were probably going to go home straight afterwards. They had a key to the condo and Elsa could just tell them that she was going to go out with an old friend for a bit.

"Sure." Elsa said and watched Belle smile at her brightly.

"Sven! Sven wait!" Anna ran through the crowd of students in the halls. Sven heard his name being called and knew exactly who it was. He maneuvered his way further into the halls, away from the voice, away from her. Why was she even acknowledging him? She probably needed answers, she was probably curious about his three friend's disappearance.

Sven used his leg muscles and sprinted down the halls, getting some "Hey bro!" and "Watch it" from people. He kept running, he didn't want to answer questions. Sven was a horrible liar.

But, Sven was blocked by a bunch of giggling freshmen girls that so inconveniently decided to walk in a straight line and talk. Sven tried to push his way through, but couldn't. He felt Anna's voice getting louder. Shit. Sven looked ahead, hoping that there was some turn in the hallway to take. But, there wasn't any and Sven immediately felt someone grasp his arm.

"Sven!" Anna huffed, taking deep breaths. She definitely needed to go running again. Sven turned towards Anna and gave her a fake smile. He needed to get out of this situation before it was too late, he needed to.

"So Sven, I was wondering if you knew where Olaf, Kristoff and Elsa went. "Anna asked and saw Sven press his lips in a firm line.

"Anna, you look horrendous. Horrible. I think as the most fabulous and gorgeous person in this school that you should go back home and change and shower. Get some sleep it's Friday!" Sven said wearily and Anna frowned.

"Sven, you never answered the question."

"What question? I don't know any question? Say what?" Sven said quickly and he wanted to smack himself in the face. And the liar is revealed. Anna sighed.

"Please Sven… I just want to know where they are." Sven shook his head at Anna.

"I don't know where they are, and if I did know which I definitely don't, I absolutely positively don't know where they are you know? They've been gone for a while and you know they never told everyone in the school about it and you know, I just don't know!" Sven replied quickly and felt the need to just slap himself right then and there. Smooth. Sven looked at Anna to see her lips curve even more downwards. What now, what now.

"Sven… I know you're lying. I just… please I need to know." Anna was desperate and she was needy. Sven noticed the tone in Anna's voice and he was shocked. Anna Arendelle was never desperate and needy. Never.

"Why do you want to know where they are so badly? I'm sure they'll come back eventually." Sven saw Anna sighed. Sven could see it. He could see that something was on Anna's mind and that she needed confront to someone about it. But, why would she need to confront Elsa, Olaf and Kristoff? They were enemies.

"Something occurred Sven… Something personal and important to me occurred and I just can't tell you okay? But, it's nothing bad, I promise you that. It's just that I need to talk to one of them, and it's been bothering me and please Sven, I'm begging you." Anna pleaded and Sven frowned. He knew that Anna would never beg, she would never beg and be desperate and clingy or needy for anything. Whatever Anna needed was probably something big. Sven sighed. He knew how much Olaf loved promises, but Sven had to tell Anna. It must have been something important.

"They left… They're out of state and they didn't really tell me what state. They aren't coming back until the start of senior year." Sven stated and saw Anna's expression change from desperate and needy to depressed and sad. What? Sven saw Anna's lip quiver slightly and saw her eyes glaze with tears. What was wrong with her?

"You okay Anna?" Sven asked and saw Anna shake her head, placing a hand on her heart.

"Why does it hurt Sven? I feel like I just lost something important to me, a missing piece in my life and it sucks…" Sven nodded his head, suspecting what Anna's personal problem was. Anna sighed and whispered something, but Sven was able to pick it up.

"What does it feel like to be in love?" And Sven froze. Did Anna like Kristoff? Or did she like Olaf? Sven shook his head at the thought of Anna liking Elsa. He was pretty sure Anna was straight, considering the fact that she dated Hans. Sven watched Anna take a deep breath, trying to keep her emotions calm. He felt bad for the girl. Even if they were supposedly enemies, it didn't mean that she had to go through the feeling of heartbreak.

Sven watched Anna let go of his arm and turn on her heel, walking away from him and back into the swarming crowd of upper classmen. Sven sighed and watched Anna walk away.

Gosh, Olaf was going to kill him.

"Did you have a great time?" Belle asked, stopping her car in front of Elsa's condo. Elsa didn't reply, she just simply sat there and nodded her head. Once Belle had dragged her around the whole city, Elsa couldn't help but feel emotionless again. She had left this place, left this place of happiness that she could have experienced to go to California? She felt bad when Belle was dragging her to places and all she could have thought of was Anna. No matter where they went and how much memories existed there, Anna was the only one that clouded her mind. So, Elsa tried to shut off her emotions, thereby not really thinking of Anna anymore.

When Belle never received a reply from Elsa, she sighed and glanced over at her to see she was staring off into space, no emotion was written on her face. Bell grabbed Elsa's hand, catching her attention as Elsa looked at Belle with wide eyes.

"Something's up Elsa. You haven't been showing a single sliver of emotion at all ever since we left school. What's wrong Elsa? Why did you come so suddenly out of the middle of nowhere and not even with your parents, but with your best friends?" Belle looked at Elsa and Elsa's mouth hung open at how Belle was able to analyze and conclude all that in just the first week that Elsa had come to New York.

Elsa was speechless, she was absolutely speechless. She saw Belle blush slightly and look down at her hand grasping onto Elsa, their fingers not intertwined though.

"I've missed you Elsa. After you left without really much of an explanation… I went into a stage of depression and I did what exactly you did, shut people out. You just left me in the dust with no information at all. The first time I saw you was when you entered the halls with the two boys on the first day. I gathered some information to find that you came here with them, but not your parents. But anyways, Elsa… I know how it feels to shut people out and I'm here to help you through your problem. You think that by shutting people out, it makes your problem easier, but it doesn't. And I'm here to help Elsa… We are still best friends after all right?' Belle gave a sad smile and Elsa sighed. Belle was right… But she would never understand what Elsa was going through. Elsa practically got her heart played with from Anna; at least that's what Elsa saw it as. She was just some kind of thing for Anna to play with, to only throw it away once it was used up or broken.

Elsa was angry. She was angry at herself, at herself for falling for someone like Anna. She was angry at herself for affecting the people around her for her own mistake with Anna, causing her to give Belle a cold reply and pulling her hand roughly back to her lap.

"I don't need your help Belle. I don't want to be fixed." Belle smiled sadly at Elsa. Elsa was usually the one that would be the happy one, the comforter, the one that always picked up Belle and helped her up when they were little. Now, Belle needed to repay the favor. That's what friends do after all right?

Belle gingerly grabbed Elsa's hand again, making sure she had a firm but soft grip so that she couldn't break away. Elsa looked at Belle with cold eyes and Belle knew what Elsa was exactly going through. Belle rubbed Elsa's knuckles.

"You're right… You don't need help Elsa." Elsa's face flashed with confusion before quickly going away. "You definitely don't need help. I'm not going to fix you okay? I'm just here to support you and I'm here to give you a shoulder to cry on." Belle smiled sadly at Elsa and watch her consume the words. Belle watch Elsa's emotions slowly flood back into her face. She smiled and saw Elsa open her mouth, trying to find some words to say.

"Thank you Belle… I just can't burden anyone with my problems right now. Maybe one day, before I leave that you would understand." Elsa said and Belle nodded her head.

"You were never a burden Elsa. If anything, I was the burden to you. Take your time and heck; you don't even have to tell me if you don't want to. Don't force yourself to do anything. Just follow you heart." Belle said, earning a smile from Elsa.

"Thanks Belle… for everything." Belle nodded her head at Elsa and smiled gratefully at her.

"How about we start all over? Get to know each other before you leave and rebuild our lost friendship again? Maybe I can even get to know your other two friends." Belle suggested and Elsa nodded, giving a genuine huge smile at Belle's words.

"I would like that."

It was now two months into the quarter, only having one month left of school. Anna sat at her desk, tapping her pencil lightly as she looked at the teacher writing down equations. Anna sighed and looked down at her book to see that she had small scribbles of Anna's and Elsa's names. Anna gave a small smile. Once Sven had told her about how Elsa wasn't coming back until the end, it took Anna a good week before she was able to recover and turn back to her happy self. Anna had concluded something on her one week of depression.

Elsa was to come back at around the end of the summer. Anna was going to find out what day and exact time she was going to arrive and wait at her gate. She would do this thanks to her dad and his connections. She would then confront Elsa and confess to her about everything, about her feelings and about how she felt and it would be all good. What was there to lose right?

That seemed to be Anna's motto lately.

Anna smiled at her plan. She was able to find out the exact day that Elsa was going to come back. July 3rd at exactly one. Anna had drawn a calendar in every single notebook that she had and counted down the days. She even bought her own calendar and placed it in her room, marking down the days as it went by.

This had to work. It was now around the beginning of May and Anna was excited. Just two more months Anna, just two more months.

Elsa lay on the ground with a textbook in front of her. Kristoff was in front of her, Olaf was to the left of her and Belle was to the right of her. They were working on Chemistry and trying to balance equations and find pressure and temperatures and such.

After the day where Elsa and Belle had gone out the night to explore, Belle was introduced to Kristoff and Olaf the next Saturday morning, coming over to decide and talk to Elsa and get to know her more. The four of them all hooked it up quickly, turning into the great four at the school.

After that day where Elsa had met Belle, she was ever so slowly recovering. She would laugh and smile at some times, but she still had her cold and heartless side to her. Belle knew this and did her best to cheer her up, to make her smile and laugh and get her mind away from whatever problem she had.

Now, Kristoff had gotten a call from one of their friends and rushed towards the living room, deciding to talk to him instead of doing his chemistry homework. This left Olaf, Belle and Elsa in her room. Olaf clutched onto his stomach and groaned, hearing a loud gurgling sound emit from it. He immediately got up.

"I need to take a dump. Those dumplings weren't so friendly with my tummy." Olaf said, quickly rushing out of Elsa's room and leaving to the bathroom, leaving only Elsa and Belle there. Elsa was writing down the information from the textbook until she immediately saw the cover of her textbook and frowned. She looked up at Belle who had a devious smile on her face.

"I was copying homework down." Elsa said and Belle just rolled her eyes.

"Let's have a break Elsa! Stop being such a little nerd." Belle laughed and Elsa chuckled at her.

"So what do you want to talk about?" Elsa propped herself onto her elbows and leaned right, looking into Belle's hazel eyes. Belle looked at Elsa with a serious face.

"I heard what you did to that freshmen boy…" Elsa looked away and sighed. Sometimes, when Elsa's cold side came out, anger came out as well. Just a few hours ago at school, Elsa had bumped into a freshmen boy who was giving her attitude. Usually, Elsa would be calm, cool and collected and just apologize. But, Elsa was really salty and cold during the time and when the boy wouldn't shut up, she made him herself by punching him square in the jaw. He probably lost a few teeth, nothing that bad right?

"Elsa… is anything wrong?" Elsa frowned. Everything was wrong. Every single day when Elsa walked into school, she would be faced with classes. Every time she entered a class that she had with Anna back in California, she would haunt her mind and Elsa never really knew how to get rid of it besides shutting off her emotions. During these classes, Kristoff, Olaf nor Belle was there, which made it even harder. Her three best friends were able to keep her under control, were able to notice when she was losing herself and be there to cheer her up.

"It's just… my personal problem always comes up every time I'm reminded of it and it sucks Belle." Belle sat up and crawled over to Elsa's side, pulling Elsa in, and in the end, Elsa laid on the floor with her head on Belle's lap, Belle stroking her soft platinum blonde hair.

"Please… don't freak if I tell you." Elsa murmured slowly and Belle nodded her head in response.

"You see… it all started in fifth grade…" Elsa started and throughout the whole time, Belle listened to her. Belle listened to her like the best friend she was supposed to be, the best friend that she had to be for Elsa. When Elsa had finished her story, Belle lifted Elsa's head up to see that she was silently crying. Belle frowned and got the pad of her thumb and wiped away her tears, leaning in and giving Elsa a kiss on the forehead.

"Elsa, don't ever think yourself like that okay? You're amazing and you're beautiful and you're talented. She never deserved you in the first place. You're better than her and you will always be. You never deserved to go through this pain and she doesn't deserve your attention, tears and love. Whoever she is, she doesn't know what she's missing." Belle smiled and saw Elsa give out a loud sob, draining in Belle's words. Belle pulled Elsa into a hug and felt her dig her face in Belle's hair and cry silently. Well, isn't this Karma.

Belle just sat there and rubbed Elsa's back comfortingly, giving her words of comfort and eventually, Elsa had cried herself to sleep. Belle then looked at the sleeping Elsa and smiled. She used her muscles (thank goodness that she played tennis and volleyball) and carried Elsa to her bed, tucking her in and giving her a kiss on the forehead.

"Good night Elsa… You definitely deserve better." Elsa smiled into her sleep and Belle sighed. She turned on her heel and walked towards the door, knowing one thing for sure.

Elsa's heart wouldn't belong to her. It seemed to belong to the girl back in California.

Belle told Kristoff and Olaf about how Elsa was asleep and took her departure back home.

Belle would help her, she would help her. She wouldn't stop her from being stuck on her crush, but she would help her gain her emotions back, gain her feelings back and stop being so cold.

A/N: So that's the end of chapter 15! Thanks for all of your support!
