The Replacement
It would have been a lie to say that no one had called me a slut or tool before. It would however, be true to say I'd never been called a slut by a male before. So, Flynn Rider was the first.
It was just a day after I'd struck the deal with Jack and a day before we'd have the date. So, Thursday. That morning had been exhausting. Normally mornings were fine with me, I was always up at crack of dawn. Anna could sleep however long she wanted, the bus wasn't the one late. However, Rapunzel was a different story.
Rapunzel was normally up when I was, which wasn't typically a bad thing. But word had gotten around that I was Jack Frost's Replacement (for a month, no one knew it had an extra two weeks on it), so, naturally, she was mad.
I did my usual routine; wear something thick, put on my gloves, and coax my hair into a bun. I walked down stairs where Rapunzel was staring off into space at the table.
I carefully took a seat next to her.
"Punzie?" I asked. I snapped my fingers in front of her face.
"Elsa!" Rapunzel exclaimed, sounding both surprised and angry.
"Yup, that's me," I said lightly. I had a bad feeling that there would be 'less than civil conversation' as my mother would call it.
Rapunzel tried to play it cool and picked at her nails.
"So, I heard you are Jack's Replacement. A Replacement for me." She spoke with false calamity.
I bristled at the words 'Replacement' and 'me', but agreed.
"Indeed."
Rapunzel sighed and I grew irritated. Rapunzel was only a year older than me, but sometimes she treated me as if I were five.
"Do you have any idea why I dumped him?"
"No," I said, mocking her tone, "Please enlighten me."
Rapunzel stopped looking at her nails and back up at me.
"He called me a bitch. He called me a bitch because I fessed up to cheating on him. It wasn't like he asked me or anything; I did it completely out of free will. I didn't want to hurt him in the end, but he called me a bitch anyway." Rapunzel ended her rant by looking at me while playing with her hair.
"And now I'm Replacing you even though it was his own fault," I finished for her, "Gottcha."
Rapunzel smiled approvingly, making me irritated enough to want to freeze that smile and mummify it.
"So you'll tell him you've changed your mind then?"
I resisted a growl in my throat.
"What's done is done," I said instead, "If it makes you feel any better, he's paying extra."
"No, that does not make me feel any better," Rapunzel, shrieked, "What would make me feel better is if you, turned him down."
Before I could reply, Anna blundered down the stairs in a half awake state.
"Morning," she yawned.
"Morning!" Rapunzel and I spoke in perfect unison as if we weren't arguing just moments before. It was a silent agreement to make sure Anna wasn't ever anything less than happy.
...
At school, I was icy as ever, with the exception of an attempt to end a conversation with Anna. To think, I could just round the corner and make it to my classroom early as attempted. Instead I bumped right into Jack.
"Hello," I said irritably yet monotonously.
Jack smiled.
"I believe it was part of the agreement to meet up and talk in the janitor's closet?"
I blinked.
"What?"
Jack smirked.
"Yeah, I figured the note wasn't from you. The writing was too messy and polite."
I looked down at the note he had laid out in his hand.
"Who-oh." Rapunzel. Of course.
I snatched the note from Jack's hand and tore it up.
"Who saw this?" I sprayed open my hand to display the ripped up pieces of paper.
"Oh, no one," Jack shoved his hands in his pockets sheepishly, "Except for Flynn Rider."
I groaned and face-planted into my hands.
"Of all the people you could of showed, you showed Flynn Rider? The dude whose hatred of us could be compared to the heat of a thousand suns?"
Jack chuckled.
"He only found the note on the side of the desk where it had fallen. No big deal, Drama Queen."
"Yes big deal! Do you even know Who Rapunzel's with right now? I'll give you a hint, he saw the note!" I was irked beyond belief. Some people were even looking now.
Jack's jaw slackened and his entire body froze. Then something made me do the same. The halls. Anyone could dismiss it as a fluke, or possibly even miss it, but I knew. I knew that the temperature was dropping.
It wasn't by my hand right? This was my first major freak out at school. And everyone wanted to watch. I tried closing my eyes and counting. Why was the temperature still dropping? Everyone had to have noticed by then.
Ironically, the one person I hated most broke the tension.
"Hey, there's our school's slut! How's it going?"
The crowd took a collective gasp. They all knew my standards. I took a deep breath. Here was for my redemption. It wasn't sure whether it was fortunately or unfortunately, Jack beat me to it.
"Says the guy who helps my girlfriend cheat on me!"
The temperature was normal again, but I knew I had to get out. An argument would break out at any second, and I really did not want to have any more stress.
...
When History came around, Jack didn't do or say much. It was a relief. It was also a bit of a relief to get a note from Jack saying 'See you 8 o'clock Friday at Belle's Garden.'
It was something normal...
ish.
A/N: Sorry on how I portrayed Rapunzel. I'm even surprised at how she turned out. A few things before I go on gushing about the reviews: One, please do not ask questions on Elsa, Anna, and Rapunzel's relationship. It will be explained over time. Two, yes, both Elsa and Jack have ice abilities. Those will also me explained later. And three, this chapter has the most adult themes I will likely ever write. I'm no good at it, so there.
Now, on to the good stuff. Thank you all for the reviews! MNIE new chapter is coming out soon. There's just a lot to brainstorm!
Reviews= Update.
Love,
Sammie.
P.S. I don't own Frozen or ROTG.
