CHAPTER 3: Opportunities and Confessions
Jack P.O.V
As Jack and Elsa walked inside the classroom, he could not help but feel like all eyes are on them. He walked behind her as she chooses a spot in the middle near the door. Each desk was able to contain two people. He sat down next to her. He looked at Toothless, captain of the football team; he saw the look of lust in Toothless eyes as he licked his lips as he eyed Elsa up and down.
Jack felt anger boil up inside him. He sent a glare at Toothless, who quickly turned away, but not without one more look at Elsa.
Their teacher Mr. North soon started to speak in his thick Russian accent, "Hello students, this is your final year here and I intend, as I do every year to make wood shop one of the best classes you've ever been to," he said with a jolly laughter. None of the students laughed with him.
"Since this your first day I'll give you a list of all the things we will be doing in class throughout the year," he said as he passed out the sheets. "I'll also give you guys the rest of the class period to get acquainted with each other," Jack smiled this is just the type of opportunity he needed to talk to Elsa. Jack looked at Elsa as he took one of the sheets and passed it to her. Just briefly, their fingers touched and he could see a slight blush rise on Elsa's cheeks.
He watched her as she scanned over the paper before putting it in a folder. He watched as she took out a notebook, got up to speak to Mr. North's desk, and then exited the classroom. He wondered where she went so he went to Mr. North's desk and asked to go to the bathroom. When Jack exited the classroom, he scanned the halls looking for Elsa.
He saw her sitting on the hallway floor and sat next to her. Elsa P.O.V "What are you drawing?" Elsa jumped at the question, surprised in seeing Jack sitting next to her. What is up with this boy, she thought. "Nothing," she said as she pulled her notebook closer to her. "Oh let me see," he said.
Before Elsa could respond, he swiped to book from her, as he flipped through the book; Elsa was scared of his reactions to her architecture drawings. "These are nice!" He said to Elsa's surprise. "Thanks," she said. He handed the notebook to back to her. "Do you want to be an architect?" He asked. "Yes, I'm supposed to inherit my family's house building business as soon as I graduate college,"
"Oh" He said. "You would make a lot of money" Elsa nodded in agreement, she wondered why this boy was interested in her so much and why he chose this year to take so much interest in her. "Elsa," she heard as she turned to look at him. "I have a confession to make,"
Jack was nervous; he was going to tell Elsa his feelings for her. Elsa looked at him questionably. "Elsa I have a confession to make he started, I like you a lot. Ever since I first saw you I couldn't get you out of my mind," Jack started.
He looked to her with any signs of the same feelings or any sign he should continue. He saw nothing.
"I know you heard of my status as being a player or womanizer or whatever, and I know that will give you a hard time in trusting me, but I'm willing to take the chances. I know that you probably don't feel the same way but I was hoping you would give me a chance in proving myself to you," Jack finished. After he said that he felt a weight lifted off his shoulders, he looked at Elsa hoping she would say something.
Nothing came out she just stared at him. Jack felt heartbroken. "Jack," he heard and looked up. "I don't know," was all she said. Jack looked at her.
"Elsa," he said. "I know you keep a wall blocking your heart because you have been hurt to many times, I can tell but if you let me in I promise to not hurt you Elsa," he continued. "You are the one girl I care about and I promise that if you let me in I'll show what it's like to..." Jack stopped himself he did not want to say love because he did not want to push her away or scare her. "I'll show you what it's like to have someone truly care about you," He stopped. He said everything he wanted to say now it was up to Elsa to make the final decision.
Elsa P.O.V
Elsa listened intently to Jack's words. She studies him and his eyes and body movement that would hint, he was lying or did not mean any of which he said. So far, she saw none. She wanted what he offered, to fell loved and wanted. She felt that way with Anna, Rapunzel, and her other friends, but she wanted that with someone else. Jack could give her that.
"Jack," she said, as she looked him in the eye. He looked up at her; she thought she saw a little pain in his eyes, for what he took as rejection at first. "I'm willing to take that risk with you," she said with a smile.
Jack smiled and hugged her tightly. Elsa felt a slight blush creep up her cheeks as she hugged him back. "Oh Elsa," he said. "I promise you won't regret your decision."
Elsa smiled and she had a feeling she would not regret her choice either.
