Elsa and I are really close... well, we used to be. Then he came along, but I'll tell you all about that later.
So, anyways, I guess I already showed you about how it all started. I know, nothing happened. But trust me, I wish nothing happened. I wish that I could just tell a story about Elsa and I building snowmen and spending time together, but unfortunately, that's not true. So I guess we continue...
2 years have passed...
BLEEP BLEEP!
I groan. Can't I just skip school today? I lay in my bed, every inch of me not wanting to get up. Elsa groans, and I hear a thud. I stifle a laugh, knowing she just fell off her bed.
"Anna..." she groans.
"What..." I yawn.
"Alarm..." Elsa says.
I groan and hit the alarm clock.
"Anna..." she moans from the floor, her voice soft.
"What..." I say exasperatedly.
"Help me up."
I scoff.
I leap out of the bed and change into a blue shirt and black athletic shorts. Elsa is still splayed on the floor. I huff, but soon find myself grabbing her two arms and pulling.
"Uugh!" I grunt.
"Anna! I am not that heavy!" she gasps in mock hurt.
"You... Need... To... Still... Eat... Less... Chocolate..." I pant.
"Oh just be quiet and pull me up!"
After a long while of dragging Elsa off the floor, we move on to brushing each other's hair. It's something I've always found special joy in doing, though I've never really understood why.
"So, what do you want for your hair?" Elsa asks. I shrug, "I don't know... I've never really done anything with my hair."
Elsa smirks, "Alright! I have an idea! It'll be a surprise."
After ten minutes of Elsa getting frustrated with my crazy hair, pulling and tugging sometimes painfully, she finally drags me to a mirror. I look into it and scream. Elsa jumps back in surprise.
"Do you like it?" she asks nervously, a little put off by my screaming.
I think, and take a closer look at them. "I... LOVE THEM!" I squeal. She put my hair in pigtails!
"I'm glad!" She smiles proudly.
I smile back at her, but then I look back at the clock. Oh no! I'm gonna be late! Not again! I leap off the bed and grab my backpack. "Sorry Elsa! I'm gonna be late for school!" I yell behind me as I run out the door.
I race downstairs and grab the first breakfast food I see, which happens to be a poptart. As I shove it in my mouth I yell, "Bye Mama!" Preparing to run through the door, I tighten my grip on my backpack. I sprint full speed, and I stumble as I skip the steps into the garage.
I look at my watch and run out of the garage. "Anna! I go to school with you!" Elsa tells me. I jump.
"When did you get here?!"
She giggles. "Front door!"
I slap my forehead. "Oh yeah!" We continue running to school.
Elsa pants as we finally make it to the giant school building, sighing in relief.
"Maybe... I... Really... Need... To... Stop... Eating so much chocolate!" Elsa pants and gasps. I giggle.
"See? Told you you should've joined field hockey with me!"
Elsa sticks out her tongue. "Sports aren't my thing, you know that!"
I smile at Elsa, and I sling my arm around her, pulling her into a sisterly side-hug. We're walking towards the front of the school when Allison, Elsa's best friend, runs out. Allison is a tall, stalky girl with dirty blonde hair. She constantly has it in a braid, and she always lets me hang out with her and Elsa. Also, she let's me have her chocolate! What's not to like?
"Elsa! Elsa!" Allison yells from the front of the door. Elsa blushes and buries her head in my shoulder. Did I mention Elsa is super shy to people? Allison runs down the steps and stops in front of us.
"Kristoff is looking for you! He wants to know if you would tutor him after school," Allison tells Elsa happily. Allison is the exact opposite of Elsa. She is very clumsy, definitely not shy, and loves sports.
Elsa smiles at me. "I'm gonna go hang out with Allison, okay Anna?"
I nod my head. "Alright. Promise to eat lunch with me?" I ask.
Elsa giggles. "Of course!" Allison grabs Elsa's hand and yanks her away.
"Bye Anna!" they both yell. I giggle and wave. I look around the school grounds, still trying to find my friends, and finally spot them sitting on the bleachers next to the football field. Its their usual hang-out place.
"Anna!" a blonde, long-haired girl screams at me. I smile as Rapunzel runs at me. Hang on, I think, she's coming in a little to fast. I try to run out of her way, but I'm too late... she tackles me onto the ground.
"Hey," she says from on top of me, grinning like a puppy.
"Hey," I wheeze out.
Still on top of me, Rapunzel asks, "So how was your weekend?" I gasp for breath.
"Good," I grunt out.
"Rapunzel, I think Anna is gonna pass out if you don't get off her," I hear my friend, Kristoff, inquire. We met when Elsa started tutoring him, and now he's my best friend!
Rapunzel jumps off me. "Sorry Anna!" She blushes, and Kristoff offers his hand.
"So polite for a nine-year-old," I say jokingly, although I know I'm completely blushing. Let's hope they think it's from Rapunzel tackling me.
I take Kristoff's hand, and he helps me up. I look around at the rest of my friends, and then... oh yeah! I forgot to introduce them, didn't I? Well, meet my amazing friends Rapunzel, Kristoff, Olaf, and Sven!
Olaf smiles at me, "You okay?" I nod my head.
"Yeah, but I think I may have a permanent dent in my back!"
Rapunzel blushes. "I did not hit you that hard!" she huffs. I giggle.
"I'm teasing, Rapunzel."
Sven smiles. "Yeah, come on, Rapunzel, lighten up!" She slugs him on the arm.
"Oh don't go there Mister-Bowling-Is-Dangerous!"
Sven blushes. "It is though!"
We continue talking about fun, random nonsense until the bell rings. I wave goodbye to my friends and race towards my classroom. Fourth grade classes are on the third floor of the building. I race up the staircase and walk casually into the classroom. I then smile and go to my locker. This one may not have a lock, but, come on, it's a locker!
I swing open my locker and stuff my bag into it. Grabbing my books for class, I walk to my desk. I wave at Sven, as he sits next to me, and he smiles back. Our teacher, Mrs. Gerda (she likes going by her first name), walks into the classroom immediately after.
"Alright, class. Open your books to page 87 and take out your homework..." Mrs. Gerda tells us. I prop my head on my hand. Lunch couldn't come sooner.
Elsa and I have a normal spot for lunch, and just like always, today I sit there. I wave at Kristoff as he passes by. Kristoff calls out, "Hey Anna. Want to sit with us?" but I shake my head.
"Nah, I'm waiting for Elsa."
He smiles. "Alright, see you around." I wave goodbye and wait patiently for Elsa.
Before long, I realize Elsa is running late. I check the clock on the side of the school. It's 12:47. I sigh... we have until 1:15. I drum my fingers on the table. Don't worry, she's coming.
Alright, I'm seriously getting worried now. I already finished my lunch. Where is Elsa? I hear a laugh in front of me. It sounds really familiar. I look around until I finally find who I thought I heard. Elsa... there she is, over there with her friends.
I feel tears well up in my eyes at once. She... she blew me off for her friends! I blink the tears away furiously. Fine, then. Elsa can blow me off. I'll just sit with my friends. I don't need her! With that thought, I get up and walk over to where my friends are sitting. They smile at me, and I get engulfed in our conversation.
After school, I immediately get my bag. I walk out of my classroom and down the stairs. I pause as I walk past Elsa's classroom. I usually wait for Elsa, but she is probably going home with her friends today, so I don't bother.
I feel sadness, hurt, and anger boil through me. I continue walking, finally getting out of the school. I feel so lonely, and a lump is forming in my throat. I close my eyes and walk home, alone. How could she?
After I get home, I immediately put on my headphones and blare music through my IPod. I change into my comfy green sweatshirt and leggings... my favorite lazy outfit. As I sit on my bed and read the Blood of Olympus, I hear the front door slam open and close. I shrug and continue reading, turning up the volume on my music.
Elsa bursts through my door. I look up at her and continue to read, but she rips out my headphones, looking furious.
"Hey!" I protest.
"Where were you after school!?" she yells, and I see that her usually-pale cheeks are bright red.
I look at her calmly. "I went home."
"We always walk home together, though! Why didn't you wait for me?!" she asks angrily, a little hurt.
I close my book and sit up. Feeling anger boiling up inside of me, I yell, "Why didn't you eat lunch with me?! Having to much fun with your friendsand didn't want to sit with your lame sister?!"
She looks at me angrily, "Yes, Anna, I was with my friends! At least mine aren't weird like you and your gang!"
I look at her, stunned. She puts her hands over her mouth and reaches out to touch my shoulder.
"Anna, I-"
I push her hand away immediately, feeling tears already beginning to well up in my eyes.
"It's fine. Just don't sit with me or talk to me if it bothers you so much," I say coldly.
Elsa looks like she's about to cry. She looks at the ground and shuffles to her bed, not saying a word. My heart shatters, but I hide it well as I get around for bed. Elsa doesn't talk to me for the rest of the night. I close my eyes, my heart hurting. I don't know what to do.
