Hey guys Sorry I'm late on last weekend's update, but I had an anime convention to work for and that took majority of my time. It took my half the week to come down from the high then the rest of week to get back to the real world. Much to my dismay… anyway Here's Chapter 18.
I know I said I'd be introducing all those characters in this chapter, but I decided to do it sections of two. So Chapter 18 will introduce two characters from the list and so will chapters 19, and 20. Can't wait to see what you all think of these first two and hope you enjoy the chapter!
Please Review and Read on!
Agi out!
Chapter 18: Touching and Running
Three weeks in and the waves finally started to push Jack in the directions he had hoped for. He pressed his alarm clock a few seconds after it went off, his body was now use to early rising routine. He stretched and walked up to his attic, feeling the chilly air dance on his bare chest woke the white haired teen refreshingly. He sat down at the pianos stole and rolled himself up to the instrument; he softly felt the keys under his fingers.
Upon finding his hand placements he began to play a lively tune that woke the sun. As he became lost in the music his mind drifted to home, to his sister, his mother, father, aunt and uncles. He missed them but was over joyed to be in Berk, living on his own and having fun. The sound of alternative rock coming from downstairs made the male stop playing. He stood up and walked down the staircase back into this room.
He picked up his phone and said, "Dismiss." The music stopped and the phone spoke, "The time is now 5:00 am." Jack nodded putting the phone down and walked back up to his attic. He pushed the piano to the far back of the big white room and sat down in the center. He began his hour of meditation and ti ch practice. At 6:20 the teen had worked up quite a sweat and went to prepare for school.
After a cold shower he started some hot water for hot coco and got dressed. Coming back to shut off the hot water and make breakfast, as well as pack his lunch; Jack wore his gray school uniform shirt and blue hoodie over it with a pair of black uniform pants. He fixed a cup of coco and ate his breakfast, his phone reminded him that school starts in an hour. Finishing his food, he made another cup of coco to go, put on his coat, grabbed his bag and walked out the door.
Timing it perfectly once again the elevator door open upon his reaching it from down the hall. He could hear Rapunzel humming a song as he stepped inside. "Good morning Punzie. You seem cheerful today… well more cheerful than usual." He smirked at the blonde, who giggled in return. "I am extra cheerful today. My cousin Anna is finally transferring to Berk Academy today! She'll be moving in with her aunt and older sister Elsa," She explained as they walked out into the cold. "Elsa? I know that name. She's a senior at B.A right?" He asked, Rapunzel nodded saying, "Yep. She'll be graduating next year, and taking care of Anna while she's in school." Jack nodded understanding the girl's circumstance, but not Rapunzel's excitement.
"So I take you two are really close?" He asked taking a sip of his coco. "Yes when were little we use to play with Elsa all the time. They lived high in the mountains outside of Corona where it always snowed and we use to make snowmen and play all day long. But then…Elsa and Anna's mom passed away and their family started to go through so hard times. Elsa stopped playing with us and cut herself off from me and even her own sister. It's been ten years since then, and Elsa still hasn't said a word to Anna and she avoids me like the plague in school…" Rapunzel kept her head down and her voice became softer and softer as she spoke. It hurt Jack to feel his friends pain like this, so attempted to cheer the young girl up.
"Well maybe now that Anna is older, she'll be able to reconnect with her sister." Jack smiled weakly. Rapunzel looked up at with small hinge of hope in her voice, "You may be right, or Anna could be just as disconnected as her sister. The time they've spent apart may have caused a lot of damage to their future relationship." The male nodded agreeing, but kept his smiled, "Yes, but time can together repair just as easily as time apart can break. What grade will she be in?" Jack asked smiling softly at the girl.
"She'll be a sophomore," the blonde replied. Jack smiled, "Than she'll have plenty of time. Believe in them Rapunzel. Sibling tend to work out their differences when at least one of them puts a foot forward. Now its figure who will do it first." Rapunzel took in the wise words and nodded in agreement, but Jack only heard laughter ring through his ears. "You sound like an old man, with your words of wisdom Jack!" She laughed holding her hand to her mouth to block some of the sound. Jack felt his body warm up at sound of Rapunzel's laughter, glad to see his friend cheerful again.
He the raised up his index finger and slouched like an old man. "Well in my day, kids didn't walk 4 blocks to get ta school. The building was right down the street!" He said in an old man's voice making the girl laugh harder. "Stop Jack I can' breath!" Rapunzel begged holding her stomach, Jack held his hand up to ears, "What's that lil lady. My hearin ain't too good nowadays." The blonde laughed all the way to school at Old man Jack and even let Merida and Hiccup in on the joke when they met at the school doors.
The four went to their first few classes and met up again at lunch. Jack walked with Hiccup and Rapunzel upon entering the cafeteria they instantly heard a loud squeal. Hiccup and Rapunzel looked to see young strawberry blonde girl running at them. Rapunzel instantly lit up into a smile and started to run for the girl, but didn't get far before she attacked by a loving hug.
"Rapunzel!" Anna squealing holding her cousin, "Anna!" the blonde returned the hug tenfold. The two girls laughter filled Jacks ear making him smile in confusion he nudged the brunet by his side, "Uh Hiccup, fill me in. What's happening?" Hiccup smiled, "Rapunzel found her cousin." Jack smiled with more confidence hearing the two.
"You look great!" Anna said holding Rapunzel's long flowing hair. "Thanks! You look amazing yourself. Still have these pigtails I see and working them amazingly." Rapunzel replied playing with the girls hair as well. "Of course! It's my thing. You know that," Anna laughed and followed Rapunzel to their table. "So how are you liking school? Did you find all you find all your classes ok? I was looking for you this morning so I could show you around." Rapunzel stated sitting her things down as did Anna, Jack and Hiccup.
"I've been good! I'm soooo happy to be out of that house with all those guards and private tutors! And I had my own tour guide this morning, showing me to all my classes. A senior who was Sent to show me around!" She replied getting more and more excited with every word. "Oh who?" Rapunzel asked grabbing a tray for lunch. "A guy that went by the name of Hans," Anna explained pulling on her braid and blushing slightly. "Oh. And who sent this Hans?" Rapunzel asked arching an eyebrow and smirking at her little cousin. Anna bit her bottom lip, excited to say the words, "My sister, if you can believe it. He told me that she was kinda busy being the president of the student council and was really disappointed she couldn't show me around herself. Oh what's this?" Anna asked seeing the lunch they were receiving. Rapunzel giggled and began telling what was on the school menu today and how it changed every day throughout the week.
Hiccup left the two girls to go sit with Jack who was returning from warming up his packed lunch. Hiccup sighed sitting down as did Jack. "So she's a bucket of chatter," Hiccup smirked and Jack did as well. "I noticed I could hear her from over there," Jack stated pointing at the microwave. "Seriously? She wasn't that loud," Hiccup blinked a bit surprised. Jack chuckled, "She doesn't have to be remember?" He said pointing at his ears. "Oh yeah forgot you had super hearing powers." Hiccup joked and Jack retorted, "I won't call it a superpower dude."
"Yeah you wouldn't," Hiccup stated pointing his fork at Jack. Their conversation was cut short when the two blondes joined them at their table. "So Elsa helped you move in and everything?" Rapunzel asked, Anna nodded. "As awkward as it was, it was still nice to be with my sister." The strawberry blonde smiled sadly. "So Punzie this is your cousin? You goanna introduce us?" Jack asked smirking at the girls.
"Oh, Yes, Yes! Anna these are my friends, Hiccup and Jack." She explained pointing at the brunet and white haired males. "Hi! It's nice to meet you_" She gasped and nearly jumped across the table to toward Jack. However, due to quick reflexes and slight paranoia of suddenly being touch; the male slid his chair back avoiding the girl's touch. Anna clumsily fell flat, and face first on the table. Lifting up her head she rubbed her slightly red nose when she noticed the boy's hand in front of her. Jack gave his grin, "Let's start with hand shake." He smiled not seeing her light blush, but felt the warm body temperature from her hand.
"Hi," Jack said smirking at the girl. "Nice to meet you," Anna said smiling embarrassingly trying to hold her laughter from her moment of awkwardness. She placed herself back in her seat next to a laughing Rapunzel, still blushing. "Let's try this again. Hi I'm Anna!" She smiled at Hiccup who was trying to contain his laughter as well. He cleared his throat upon making eye contact with her and smiled back. "Hi, nice to meet you. Like Rapunzel said I'm Hiccup," He said shaking her hand.
"Ah hope the introductions aren't over?" The four teens looked up to see Merida smiling at them "Merida you made it!" Rapunzel said happily bouncing, and clapping her hands. "You're darn right I did, now scoot over ah'm starvin," She laughed as her friend inched over closer to Anna. "Oh this must be Merida!" Anna said happily remembering talking about the girl with her cousin. "Ah be her. You must be Anna am I right? Ya got just as much energy as Rapunzel said," Merida smirked making her best friend laugh and younger teen pout.
Jack chuckled hearing the girls, while Hiccup sighed, "Well they've gotten comfy with each other quickly." Jack shrugged, "It's a girl thing bro." "Gotta point there," The brunet chuckled with his friend. "What're you two laughing at," Merida asked arching an eyebrow at them. "It's a guy thing," Jack replied and Hiccup quickly agreed making the table laugh. As lunch went on and the three teens got to know more about Anna, Jack excused himself.
A few minutes later he was leaving the boys room and stopped at the sound of someone running down the hall. From the sound of how quick they had to move their feet and short cut breathing, Jack could tell it was a boy and a pretty small one that was tired and were at their limit. In the distance behind this person others were running after them. Two people were easily determined from their voices shouting down at the student. "Get back here Fresh MEAT!" One shouted. "Yeah no flirts with the captain's girl and gets away with it!" The other male teen exclaimed getting closer.
Jack's moves were quick as he pulled the boy into the bathroom. He waited for the two upperclassmen to run past them and down a few more halls to let the boy go. "Whew! Thanks a lot. I thought I was goner for sure," The shorter boy said catching his breath.
Jack looked down at the kid and smiled, "No prob. Why were they chasing you anyway?" He asked listening for anyone else before walking out the restroom. The shorter teen fallowed him out replying, "Oh well if ya can't tell I'm sorta new hear and I was looking for my big sister… well one of my big sisters. And while I was looking I ran into some new people, they were seniors I think, and I could have sworn one of them was my sister. Being that I hadn't seen her since I was really little, I thought I'd hug her to surprise. But… it turns out that I was wrong and it wasn't my sister," He smiled nervously scratching the back of his head, Jack couldn't see the light blush on his face.
"And I assume she and the touching patrol didn't take to kindly to that huh?" Jack concluded and Olaf nodded, "Yeah which leads us to here, I guess."
Jack held out his hand to the teen and smiled softly, "By the way, I'm Jack." Olaf's face brightened up and he quickly took Jack's hand shaking it happily. "Hi I'm Olaf! And I like warm hugs," He said with a big smile and hugged the taller male, making them stop walking, and Jack chuckled. "Nice meet you Olaf," He smiled patting his back. Olaf let go and looked up at Jack as he began walking again. "So you said you were looking for one of your sisters. Where is the other one?" He asked with Olaf beside him.
"She's at lunch. We were supposed to meet our cousin and eat lunch together, but when I thought I saw my other sister I ran after her and sorta lost track of the other one. Now is seems I've lost both sisters, not the best first day of high school." Olaf explained and laughed weakly, Jack nodded understanding. "So you're a freshmen," Jack stated. "Yep! One of my sisters in a sophomore and the other is senior."
They walked into the lunch room, "Let me guess. One of these sister very excitable, has a very light voice, bounces a lot?" Jack asked arching an eyebrow at the young teen. Olaf was grabbing a fresh bowl of fruit as she relpied, "Yeah that sounds like her." Jack smirked, "Is her name Anna by any chance?" He said as they walked through the mostly empty lunch line. Olaf gasped and stared at the boy with wide eyes, "How'd you know?" Jack chuckled walking him to their table, "She makes a strong first impression." He smiled hearing the two girl gasp and squeal Olaf's name, making the freshmen join their table. Jack took his seat next to Hiccup who glanced at him asking, "Where'd you pick him up?"
"Couple of upperclassmen were chasing him," Jack replied. "For what?" The brunet asked, "Do upperclassmen ever have a reason for picking on a freshmen?" Merida added with disdain in her voice. "Point," Her boyfriend nodded and Jack shook his head at the two. Lunch went on with introductions of Olaf and the day ended with the Jack making two new friends that he would treasure.
