"Elsa?" Hiccup's voice called.
"Yeah." I yawned.
"Just making sure you're still in there. You didn't take any notes for the entire lecture. I'm assuming you were daydreaming." He said as we walked out of the lecture hall.
"Well can you blame me? Weaseltown's voice is so irritating and dull at the same time."
"True, but you must've been thinking about something really important is you phased out of Freud's theory of the conscious and unconscious mind."
"I missed Freud? Crap, that's one of my favourite psychological theories."
"I know, you told me before. Are you okay Elsa?" he asked.
"I'm fine, I just didn't get much sleep last night." I admitted.
"Doing something fun I imagine." Yes, it was definitely fun.
"Hey guys!" Merida greeted zooming by on her longboard.
"Hey Mer." We greeted as she hopped off.
"Don't you have a class to attend to Haddock?" she teased.
"Just wanted to make sure Ms. Arendelle arrived safely." He played. "Sorry to keep you Ms. DunBroch."
"Oh hush now. We wouldn't want to be late and neither do you." She said to him as she took my wrist and stated dragging me to class.
"We'll see you later." I called to him. He waved goodbye and walked towards the other direction to his next class.
"Well he's looking mighty fine without his glasses on." Merida remarked.
"You think so?"
"You don't? He looks like a different person when he wears his contacts." She pointed out. "I could've sworn I saw a few girls blush when he walked by them, but they looked down when they saw the braid in his hair."
"Didn't Astrid do that a few days ago?"
"Yep. I think it's weird he still has it."
"Well, I guess she's marking her territory. And I think it's cute that he hasn't taken it out yet."
"Fine, fine; but you should know if I get a man, I would never do that to him."
"Good to know." I giggled as we stepped into our lecture room. We walked all the way up the rows. I've grown used to sitting in a seat not at the front, I can actually see everything from the upper rows.
"So did you do anything last night?" I asked Merida once we settled.
"Not really; just practised at the range, had take-out and watched movies with Rapunzel." She said.
"The question is, what were you doing last night?" she smirked making me stop writing.
"Netflix and studying while eating delivery; the usual." I lied.
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"So what did you have? A Panagio's Banquet burger? Or pizza?" My boy went cold at the name of Panagio's.
"I-" I didn't know what to say."
"You don't have to lie Elsa." She laughed. "I saw you there, you sat by the window."
"Okay…" I sighed. "So you know?"
"That you were with him? Yeah. I just hope you're okay considering who it was." I had to hold my tongue from defending him, or should I?
"I'm fine. I actually had lots of fun." I admitted. Merida's eyes went wide.
"Fun?"
"Yeah." I nodded.
"What the hell did he do to you last night?" she asked looking really concerned.
Well he kissed me…
"Nothing, we just had dinner and hung out." I partially lied. "I'm not sure if I would do it again." Another lie.
Before Merida could ask me another thing, the professor's voice boomed in the class, signalling the beginning of the lecture.
"Do you want to hang out later?" Merida asked as we walked out of the lecture hall.
"Maybe. We'll see what happens in my other classes if I have to get some work done." I replied. "In case, where should I meet you?"
"Our dorm. Punzie wants to watch a movie with everyone else."
"Okay, I'll see what I'm doing later then." I said as Merida put her board on the floor; longboarding during the winter really didn't seem like a good idea to me, but she looked like she could care less.
"Just text one of us so we'll know."
"Will do. See you later!" I called as she rode off to her next class. Usually I have some time to kill and I use it to sit outside and do some work. However the weather isn't that promising; I don't mind the snow, but using my laptop outside didn't seem like a wise choice. Luckily there was a small bookstore that was close to my next class I could stay in, maybe I could do some studying in there for a while.
I stepped into the small store and politely asked the clerk in the front if I could stay. To my surprise, she led me into the back room where there were multiple desks.
"Your campus calls it a study hostile. Not many students know they exist, that's why they're so quiet." She explained.
"Do you get any other students here?" I asked as I set my books down.
"One regular in particular, I highly doubt you know him. And some occasionally come during exam time." She laughed.
"Oh well, thank you…"
"Susan."
"Susan." I smiled. "Thank you." She left me alone in the quiet so I could do my studying.
My phone started vibrating when I was rereading my notes on Carl Jung's theory of personality types. My screen lit up to reveal a text from my sister.
'Punzie wants to know if you want to watch a movie tonight.'
'Yeah Merida told me already.'
'So is that a yes or no sister?'
'It's a Maybe.' I set my phone down and went back to my notes. It didn't take long for me to be disturbed once again, but this time the door swung open.
"Well this is a surprise." Hans smiled as he shut the door.
"Yes it is." I choked and broke the lead of my pencil. Hany set his books down on the desk beside me and took a seat.
"How've you been?" he asked ignoring his books and looking at me.
"Good.. I guess." I shrugged not looking at him and trying to make more notes. He didn't say anything for a while until my phone buzzed.
'Oh you forgot to tell me how it went last night.' My sister texted.
'I'll tell you after my classes.' Once I set my phone down, I saw a small smile come on to Hans' face.
"I gave you my number." He smirked.
"Did you? I don't remember." I lied.
"It was a while back ago." He recalled. "I wrote it on your receipt."
"Oh yes I remember. You also said to call if I had any problems."
"Well?"
"I didn't have any problems with my laptop." I bluntly said. That thankfully shut him up a bit. I expected for there to be an awkward silence, but I could tell he was actually focusing on the work he was doing. Curiosity started to make me twitch and peek at what he was working on.
"Do you have notes on Michelle Mead? I need her views on feminism." He asked looking up from his paper.
"Yeah." I replied flipping through my binder. "What topic are you working on?"
"Female athletes vs. male athletes." He said as he started reading my notes. "What did you choose?"
"Psychological and sociological impact of sports broadcasting."
"That's one of the most difficult topics."
"I like a challenge." I smiled before taking out my journal. "This is our final paper so I better make it good."
"Well don't forger we also have a seminar to do." He pointed out.
"Crap! I forgot to plan out my stuff."
"You could join my group. It's up to four people and I only have two."
"We'll see. I may or may not already be in a group." I quickly rejected.
"Well if you change your mind, don't hesitate to ask."
"Thanks for the offer." I smiled and checked the time.
"And I have class." I said as I started to pack up.
"Do you want me to walk you?" he asked.
"No it's fine. It's right across the street." I said trying to scurry away. "I'll see you tomorrow I guess."
"Or do you want to hang out later tonight?" Hans asked.
"Um… tonight?"
"Yeah. A couple of friends are just getting together. Nothing big, just a chill session." He explained. "You're welcome to join us if you want to."
"Will I know anyone there?"
"Well, me."
"I don't really know you Hans." I practically snapped. A crocked smile stretched on his lips.
"Feisty yet also truthful." He cooed. He stood and walked toward me. "Then let's start over. My name is Handerson Isles, but people call me Hans because I liked Han Solo from Star Wars when I was younger. I currently attend DDU and I am in Kinesiology program. Who are you?" he crossed his arms and smirked, waiting for my answer. I was very confused, but decided to fall into his niceness.
"Hi. I'm Elsa Arendelle. I'm in the Psychology program in DDU and I am minoring in English. If you must know I just moved here months ago before the semester started." I held my hand out to shake. Hans gladly took it.
"Well Ms. Elsa. Would it be totally forward and inappropriate if I asked you to hang out with me and a few friends later tonight?" he asked still gripping my hand.
"I believe it is not totally inappropriate, but unfortunately I have plans tonight with my sister." I partially lied. "Maybe another time."
"Well, maybe when you have the time you can call me?" Hand held up my phone. His contact information was on my screen and if I could guess, he texted himself so he had my number too.
"Will do." I tried to hide my shaky voice, and took my phone from him. "I'll see you whenever I guess."
Hans nodded and watched as I left the room. I said a quick thank you to the clerk and walked out of the bookstore. The only thought I had while I was waling the class was, how the hell could Jack and Hans be friends?
"Bye Elsa!" my sister called out as she shut the door. I was alone once again in my dorm. I lay on my bed and I just shut my eyes.
It was 6 PM on a Monday night. I don't know how my sister had the motivation to go out. I was drained of most of my energy. And on top of that I had some school work to do.
"Siri wake me up in 15 minutes." I said into my phone. Almost as soon as I set my phone down on my bed I passed out.
My drunken body swayed with the melody of the thumping bass. His hands roamed up and down my body as he moved with me. Before I knew it I was grinding into his body.
I moved my hair up so the air could touch my hot skin and maybe cool me down. However I did not expect that he would start kissing and sucking on my bare skin. I would have normally pushed him off, but the alcohol in my system made me rebellious.
"Didn't know you could move." He murmured before his teeth grazed my ear.
"Neither did I." I breathed. His hands rested on my hips and his lips trailed on my jaw. I spun around and his kissed the corner of my mouth. Before I knew what was happening our lips were latched together and out tongues were doing their own dance in the dark. We broke apart to breathe and walk off the dance floor/ area.
"Let's go into the house?" he whispered into my ear. I nodded and let me guide him back inside.
The guitar riff of an Arctic Monkeys song woke me. I groaned as I forced myself to wake up and shut it off. When my finger slid on the screen I saw a text from Jack.
'Hey, what's the plan?'
Confused, I responded.
'Plan? We never planned anything.'
'Oh shit, sorry. Wrong person.' Not gonna lie, my heart sank at his response. I simply texted him an 'okay' and set my phone down. To my surprise he messaged me back.
'Did you want to do something tonight?' My heart instantly fluttered thinking about that to respond with.
'I thought you had other plans tonight.'
'Lame plans. Just drinking and blazing, I'm not really feeling it.'
'Oh well I guess we could do something.' I sent without thinking. My face started to heat up thinking it was mighty stupid of me to send that.
'Really? I figured you had plans too.'
'What made you think that?'
'My roommate just left. Aren't you guys close or whatever?'
'yeah but I didn't go.' Why am I telling him this? Why was I even texting him this?
Because you like him Elsa.
Okay enough subconscious.
'So… do you wanna do something then?' he texted.
Before I let my thumbs type an answer, I seriously needed to consider the pros and cons.
Cons: Lying to Anna, it's Monday and I've got classes, this really wasn't a good idea to be with him again.
Pros: You'll be with him.
'Sure. I'll be there in a bit.' I sent.
'No I'll come. You came over last time.' I was going to let that be the end, but somehow I sent this.
'Promise? *holds up pinkie*' within seconds he responded.
'*wraps pinkie around yours* Promise*
Ten minutes after straightening out my dorm there was a knock on the door. I nearly ran to answer it but I stopped midway to gather myself. I opened the door to find Jack leaning against the door frame.
"Nice outfit." He snorted looking me up and down. I glanced at what I was wearing and immediately blushed in embarrassment. I was wearing a blue tank top with my fluffy snowflake pyjamas.
"Thanks. I, uh, picked it out myself." I sighed letting him into my dorm.
"Not surprising considering your choice of clothing is usually horrendous." He smirked. And we were back to square one.
"Hey, all I have to do is change my clothes, you have to change your personality." I came back. His eyes narrowed at me and I held my ground.
After a few seconds of build-up, we were both laughing uncontrollably.
"That was a good one." He remarked trying to recover.
"You usually have good ones too Jack." I pointed out as I made my way to my room.
"You're dorm is smaller than I expected." He commented as he followed me inside and sat on my bed with me.
"Well it is the biggest suite or two instead of four." I said leaning against the headboard.
"And not all of us live in a deluxe apartment like you do."
"Well when your roommate is loaded and you have…. Scholarships you tend to live that way in college." Jack defended. I was a little taken back when Jack mentioned Hiccup.
"You talk to your roommate?" I asked.
"You don't?"
"I mean, I didn't think you'd talk to Hiccup." I reasoned.
"I don't have conversations with the guy but we talk from time to time." He explained. "And I've seen him call the CEO of Haddock Enterprises 'dad'."
"Wait, what/" I asked. "CEO of Haddock Enterprises?"
"He's Hiccup's father. And his mother is some kind of surgeon. His family's loaded." Jack concluded. I recall Hiccup telling me his father wanted him to take his place in his company, I just never would have guessed that he would be in control of one of the largest military industries.
"Wow… he's so different from his family." I said to myself.
"Like you." Jack added. Ah crap, I forgot he knows my family.
"I guess." I shrugged. Thinking about my family always made me depressed and feel down, so I changed the subject.
"What about you? Are you different from your family?"
"Well if I say no then I'm lame right?" he said leaning into the wall.
"Not necessarily. If you have my parents, then yes you are very lame."
"Truesay." He smirked. "But sadly no, I'm not too much like my family. Physically for sure, mentally… maybe."
"What? You weren't raised in a dark and gothic home?" I teased gesturing to his all black attire; however seeing the change of emotion in his eyes made me regret it right away.
"Never mind." I waved it off and grabbed my laptop. "Let's order pizza."
"Her new album isn't that bad." Jack stated as he took a bite of his fifth slice.
"I don't know, her other albums were pretty whiney." I remarked.
"Yeah, but 1989isn't all that bad." Jack muttered. I couldn't help but laugh.
"Why do you insist on converting me to a Swiftie? You're like my sister."
"Well my sister made me listen to her Red album and even made me take her to the concert. She's not so bad, I guess she grows on you." He explained.
"But still, why are you determined to convert me? Why not your other friends-?" I asked and then I remembered who his friends were.
"Never mind. But why are you trying to convert me?" Jack set his plate down on my duvet and got all serious.
"Because my sister is dragging me to the 1989 concert and she won four tickets."
"And she's making you take her again." I finished.
"And the thing it none of her friends except one can go and since she won them she doesn't get them until the day of, so she can't sell them either."
"And she gave you the extra." I nodded understanding his situation. He nodded as he drank from his root beer.
"I still don't understand why it has to be me."
"Well it doesn't have to be you, but I would prefer it if it was you." He shrugged.
"How so?" I blurted. Jack arched his eyebrows and shifted his position.
"That's more personal Els." He frowned. I felt guilty for plucking nerves.
"Sorry, you don't hav-"
"Might as well tell you since I may tell you eventually." He shrugged. "Ask me again." Confusion began to surface, but I went along with his request.
"Why would you want me to go with you to the Taylor Swift concert?"
"Because you're one of the very few that knows I have a little sister." He answered with brute honesty.
"What? What do you mean?"
"I mean, none of the people I hang out with knows I have a little sister, or anything about my personal life for that matter." He explained.
"Hans? Gothel? Nobody?" I asked in disbelief. He shook his head and took another slice of pizza.
"Can I ask why?" I demanded, attempting to quench my wonder's thirst.
"That… might be a little too much." He stopped. "You'll want to save that for another time. It's a really long story Elsa."
Part of me wanted to insist on him telling me, but it's his business and it's not my part to intrude; so I just nodded and finished off my pizza.
"Do you want to split that?" he asked gesturing to the last slice in the box.
"Sure." I nodded. "You can take the tip half if you want."
"I was going to say we could cut it right down the middle." He suggested. "And if we were splitting it that way, I'd let you take the best part."
"No really, I'd prefer the half with the crust." I revealed. "I like having a sort of handle. That way the food won't spill all over my fingers."
"But… the flavour-"
"Is recovered by dipping the crust in sauce." I pointed out. "So cut it however you please."
As Jack ripped apart the slice, he also looked at me in disbelief.
"I have honestly never met someone who rejected the tip of the pizza before." He said, handing me my slice. I just took it and smiled.
"Well I've never met anyone who kept their family a secret before." I replied. He gave me a questioning look.
"So people know who your father is?" he teased.
"Oh hush." However there was something that made me wonder, how on earth did he know who my father was? I mean yes my father was the CEO of the biggest manufacturing company for TVs, car parts, radios and other things like that.
"So, wanna watch a movie or something?" I asked, breaking my thoughts.
"Sure. What's good?"
"I have Netflix… we could just stay in." I said.
"I know, but I hate the lagging." He remarked. "And I like how the audio's better on hard copies. You can really hear the soundtrack."
"That's what you care about? The soundtrack?" I teased.
"Hey now, make fun all you want, but some soundtracks actually contain the best artists. For example The Breakfast Club, The Fault in our Stars, even Guardians of the Galaxy."
I couldn't help but realize that not only was he right, but that's also how I got my taste in music as well. Hearing a song during a scene and loving how it makes you feel, so you search who's responsible for that beautiful memory.
"You forgot Perks of Being a Wallflower." I added. Jack smiled.
"I actually wouldn't mind watching that right now actually." Luckily I didn't have to flip through Netflix since I had the DVD myself. I quickly attained it from my desk and put it in my laptop. I scooted closer to Jack as the movie began… and he wrapped his arm around me.
As the movie went on, I felt my heart would race at the thought of Charlie and Sam. Jack was giving this kind of vibe whenever they were together on screen, and not going to lie… I really wanted to kiss him when they had their first kiss on screen.
"I should probably go." Jack said as Charlie rode through the tunnel to conclude the movie.
"What time is it?" I asked while I stretched.
"Almost 12:30. I feel like your sister will be home soon considering it's Monday."
I seriously hate when he's right.
"Yeah." I nodded and stood up. Jack grabbed his jacket and followed me out of my room.
"Many thoughts began to run through my mind just walking him to the door. For example, there's no doubt in my mind that I actually enjoy spending time with this guy; a guy many people are actually afraid of or even hate. But he brings out a side of me I've never really seen before, and I have yet to decide whether that's a good or bad thing.
I stopped right in front of the door and stopped as my hand touched the doorknob.
What was happening?
Oh right, I'm actually sad to see him leave.
I felt cold when his hand overlapped mine and his lips were close to my ear.
"Is it bad to say I don't want to leave?" he breathed. I took his hand and turned around to meet his gaze.
"No." I responded while my fingertips touched his jawline.
"I don't want you to leave." I sighed.
The air between us was right. Jack leaned in and brushed his lips against mine. My body responded before my mind as my hands found their way into his hair to deepen the kiss. Jack held me close and even backed me up against the door to kiss me harder and deeper. His hands stayed at my hips, but our lips moved together.
Oh god, I didn't want to break from him. I wanted to stop time and just be with him. I wanted to embrace him, wanted him to hold me close, wanted us to… be together… but I can't.
When we finally broke apart, it left me panting. Jack placed a kiss on either side of my cheeks and a peck on my lips before letting me go. I regretfully opened the door and he stepped out. However before leaving her looked at me and smiled.
"Just give me a time and place Elsa. I'll be there." I laughed.
"I think you should plan the next one Frost." I said. He gave a small smile before seizing my hand to wrap his pinkie around mine. He leaned in a pressed a light kiss to my lips.
"Good night Elsa." He murmured before walking away. I don't know how, but I was able to snap out of my daze and shut the door. I leaned onto the wall and sunk down to the floor, trying to sort out the amount of emotion and confusion Jack Frost was giving me.
