Disclaimer: There will be smoking of marijuana in this chapter of minors. I don't condone anything like this. It's only in here for the sake of the plot. Just thought I should let you know.

Also for those of you interested in this story, the setting is going to start picking up with in the next chapters. Either by a month in a half or by a couple weeks in each chapter. There will be some instances though when chapters go by days like in the first six chapters.

The library was not the best place for Anna but Kristoff was making up a test and Rapunzel had to finish and essay for her English class.

"If you're that bored go back down to the lunch room and find a table to sit at." Rapunzel glimpsed over at Anna, who was spinning in her chair.

Anna stopped spinning in her chair, "Yah but there's no one else I know in there."

"So, just ask to sit at a table and talk. For you that should be easy."

"It is ,but I'm too lazy to drag my ass down stairs." She joked.

"Or is it so that you can spin in that chair." She stopped typing and looked around the library, and realized why Anna didn't want to leave. "Or, it's because Merida is here." She looked at Anna who had a slight blush.

Letting out a nervous laugh "Funny. But no that's not the reason."

"I'm fairly certain it is." Though Anna was being very discrete to not show her attraction towards her friends, Rapunzel caught Anna riveting time from time, including at her.

"Well you're wrong so drop it." Anna glared at Rapunzel.

"Ha. Just by the way you said that I know I'm right, as always." Anna just gave her a glare that said, you're so dead.

"You are so lucky there are witnesses."

"It is you're almost as strong as Kristoff." And before Anna could reply Rapunzel added, "Something Merida finds attractive."

It was also no secret that Merida was juggling with her sexuality also. She had never dated anyone and she found both girls and guys attractive. Many times she and Anna would get caught glimpsing at each other either by their friends or by each other. In any case though that's all it was for Anna. She didn't want to date any of her friends because if something were to happen that would ruin her friendship it would really hurt her to lose anyone.

"I'm seriously warning you."

Rapunzel was still teasing Anna, "I mean look at her, great legs..."

"Not going to work." Anna was getting even more irritated.

"...beautiful and bright red hair..."

"Shut up Punz."

Not yet pleased Rapunzel kept going, "A kick ass, and well toned body..."

Now getting a little redder, "I'm really warning you Punz."

Giving herself a slight seductive tone to get Anna even redder, "Nice perky ..."

"Rapunzel!" Anna shouted her face a deep shade of crimson that hid her freckles. Rapunzel started to laugh.

The librarian came over and sternly said, "Girls this is your only warning. Please keep it down."

"Okay Mr. Cogsworth." They said in unison.

Anna looked at Rapunzel with annoyance, "Not funny Rapunzel."

"I know but it was hilarious." She started to laugh again.

Letting her eyes dropped, and slumping into her chair she whined, "Come on, do you really have to be so mean."

"I'm sorry Anna." She said sincerely.

"No you're not, can't a girl just gaze in peace."

"Yah she can but try not to be so distracting while doing it."

"I wasn't even doing anything except spinning in a chair." Anna rubbed her temples.

"Yah and if you went any faster, a tornado would've formed."

Anna gave Rapunzel a slight shove and they both giggled and continued to talk about anything and everything. It was to late for Rapunzel to keep typing her paper. Antagonizing Anna had wasted a lot of time.

"Before I forget, you mentioned the duet you were doing with Elsa, how's that battle going?" Rapunzel asked.

"I wouldn't call it a battle, more like me say everything we could do and Elsa just sit there and say yes, no, or just sit there."

"Sounds like you're just doing most of the work, again."

"I'm trying to get her opinion on things but she's just so shy."

"Shy?" She said with a little contempt.

"Yah, why is that so surprising." Anna said confused.

"I just think she's ignoring you because she's so uptight about being around lower classmen." Rapunzel admitted.

"If she were so uptight, why did she let me be her partner for all the projects so far?"

"Maybe it's because you have a way of being so adamant about certain things. Which also brings up something else."

"What?" But Anna already knew what Rapunzel was going to ask.

"Why did you want to work with her in the first place." Though she sort of new why already.

"I don't know." Anna let her eyes wonder around the room.

"Is it because," She picked her words carefully due the teasing before, "She's good looking."

Letting out a soft breath, "Yah I guess. But it's just to be friends." She quickly retorted. "Though I don't see her a lot, the times I do she's either alone or with Hans. I just think she could have a close friend."

"Anna for all you know she could have tons of close friends. Some could be in other schools."

"You could be right but that's not going to stop me." She smirked. "I think you're just worried I'll replace you as one of my best friends."

"One of. No I AM your best friend. Fuck Kristoff and everyone else." She laughed and so did Anna.

They continued to talk for the rest of the period and all the way to their Global class. The days before were filled with congratulations and cheers towards Anna and today was back to boring ass high school.

Skipping gym again Elsa and Hans were in the back area of the stage in the auditorium were no one could find them. It was dark and gloomy but it was the only place Hans could get intimate. But today he did something Elsa was sure he would never do. Though it was dark she could barely make out what seemed to be a plastic bag.

"The hell is that." She asked innocently.

"Something Drizella gave me. Relax"

Before she could say something else he light a lighter and she saw what was in his hand. He took out a piece of paper and the green plant that was in the bag. Rolling it up and lighting up, it was clear this was not the first time he had done this either. After his breath he let out several smoke rings. Taking a few more puffs, he blew it directly into Elsa's face. She tried holding her breath and turned away. After a while of Elsa having her hand over her mouth and breathing whenever Hans would clock out, he eventually started pestering her to take hit, but she kept saying no and despite being relatively high, it was getting on his nerves.

"Come on, babe." He coughed, "just take one hit."

"Hans, I said no. And if you're just going to keep doing that..."

Sitting up he said, "For fuck's sake. One hit ain't goin to kill yah."

"No." She said raising her voice slightly.

"Come on babe one hit." He lowered himself back down to the floor.

I really don't want to this. "No."

He was lying on his back now and had trouble talking, "Come...on. One hit."

Rolling her eyes she was got up to leave, but he shot up and grabbed her by the arm. "Ouch Hans, You're hurting my arm."

"I don't care. Now sit down and light up." He dragged her down and handed her a joint. Giving her the lighter, "Now just, uh, light it and...enjoy." He laid back down and continued to puff out smoke.

She just sat there holding the rolled up paper that was in her hands. Jesus. The hell am I doing. Go and tell someone. But she didn't want anyone to find out it was her that had ratted anyone out. Sitting there she waited for Hans to completely become lost in his high, and twenty minutes later she was sitting against the wall in the hallway that lead to the auditorium. No one was supposed to use the auditorium, and no ever checked it anyway so she was certain neither Hans or herself would be caught.

She just continued to sit there, doing nothing and just staring at the wall before her. No thoughts, no movement just listening to the silence and sometimes the occasional sound of someone walking by. She checked her phone, 1:51, Twenty-four minutes still. She sighed and brought her head back against the wall. Closing her eyes she tried to think of anything that she could think of. As usual though nothing came mind except everything that had just happened. Why is he doing all this all of a sudden? First the more amorous kissing, then the 'I love you' and now this.

She drew her knees up to her chest and hugged them tightly. Everything Hans was pushing on her was all so sudden and maladroit. Just the day before he had put his hand under her shirt and tried to fondle her breasts. She caught his arm but he instead of stopping he pushed her hand away. As his hand touched her breast he broke their kiss and started sucking and kissing around her neck and collar bone. She'd be lying if she said it didn't feel good.

But she also be lying if she said she enjoyed it. The entire time she kept trying to push away from him and softly moan. Which only seemed to make Hans more ravenous. As the bell rung she spun around, grabbed her backpack and left the auditorium. She could feel his smirk, he thought Elsa was just being a tease.

Not wanting to remember any more she reached in her pocket to take her phone out again but she touched something rapped in paper.

Shit! How in the world did I not put this down. Panic settled in. What if I get caught with this shit. Tell person that it was Hans'. The school would hate me if he were suspend from playing next season. To make matters worse I'm starting the think I should just smoke it, and then what would everyone think of me if I still got caught except this time being high and who knows what would happen then.

There was nothing else Elsa could think of and it was eating her alive to decide on what to do. Standing up she paced the hallway. Folding her arms and hugging herself she paced short distances back and forth. With less than a minute left in the class period she decided to just put it into her backpack and deal with it later.

As soon as the bell rung she raced to the her last period class. Entering the class room she went to the farthest corner of the room and disdainfully stared at the wall to her right. She hadn't even notice Anna walk in, sit next to her and say Hi. The entire time for the first fifteen minutes of class was Elsa just sitting there and was completely oblivious to Anna.

Eventually Anna managed to get Elsa attention.

"Elsa, we have to practice this at least once. Come on listen to me," She put her hand on Elsa shoulder to try and get a response.

Immediately Elsa jerked her head around glared at Anna. Turning her shoulder away, "Don't touch me." She hissed.

"Sorry Elsa but we have to practice, everyone else is." Anna was a little hurt that Elsa didn't want anything to do with this.

Elsa let at a long sigh, "You can practice on your own, I'll just take a zero." She placed her head on her hand and felt angry at herself.

Seeing Elsa something was clearly bother Elsa Anna tried to ask her what was wrong. "Is something wrong Elsa?"

"No" Everything. "Just leave me alone to fail the assignment."

"I'm not going to let you do that." Anna said full heartedly.

"And why not." Confusion and anger coated her voice.

"Because it's not fair to you." Anna had no idea how it was unfair towards Elsa but she would figure out something.

Elsa was starting to feel less angry but what was replacing her anger was her confused and curious thoughts on how Anna was putting up with all this. "You've done all the work and you think it's unfair to me." She furrowed her brow and brought her gave to Anna.

"Yes because even though I've done most of the work there is still time from now till the end of class to say something. The way I have arranged the song is far to complicated to sing alone and learn with the time we have left."

"I know you're just being shy Elsa," Anna's tone was sweet and gentle, "But that's something that can be overcome. Here's your chance to voice yourself. The next is singing in front of someone." Anna was smiling now, "So, what is an idea you have."

Once again shocked at how Anna seemed so genuine Elsa only managed to say "I'm not shy." Tell her something. DO IT. Am I really that insecure.

Before Elsa could answer Anna giggled said, "Denial is not just a river in Egypt."

Unknowingly, Elsa smiled. It was small but it made Elsa feel comfortable, something she only feels when she's alone in her room. "Maybe we could...use a softer tone to sing the song." Seeing Anna's face light up sent butterflies fluttering in Elsa's stomach.

"Great. Now there's a start. As for the rest of the song I was thinking we could start with Pre Chorus, you know the part where Kurt Cobain goes Hello, Hello, Hello, How low." Anna looked at Elsa for both approval and if she was still paying attention. "And with a softer tone we could ad some harmonies to that. What do you think so far."

"Okay." Am I really that challenged to give a complement.

"From there we go into the chorus. The tempo can stay as it is. Also during the chorus we could take turns singing lines or couplets. Whatever you decide it doesn't matter. Oh and I'll use an acoustic guitar too. And as you said use a much softer tone." From there Anna babbled on to no end.

Class seemed to slow entirely just so Elsa and Anna could finish the song. Elsa had only mentioned to sing the song at a softer tone and occasionally choose something Anna couldn't decide. Which actually turned out to be a lot of things. Like which parts to harmonize at. Which verses to give each other. What parts to cut loose a little. Things like that.

"Anna." Having the name roll of her tongue felt, Elsa felt the butterflies in her stomach intensify.

"...From there we could go into a gradual decrescendo, me at the higher octave and you at the lower one."

"Anna." Slightly raising her voice.

"...The rasp of his voice is just so iconic, and that's why I think..."

"Anna." Raising her voice even higher.

"Yes, oh it's time to go. Sorry, if you can't tell I can ramble on time from time." Yes you do and it's really cute.

"What." Anna said.

Elsa realized she had just said that out loud and in front of Anna. NO, no, no, no. Once please, just for once let something go right. "Nothing." Elsa's throat clenched and her face grew red.

Knowing what Elsa had said Anna decided to just play it off, "Okay, well I'll see you tomorrow Elsa. I can't wait." She ran off down the hall and before turning the corner she waved and cheeringly said "See ya later." And then she was gone.

Walking to her car Elsa had managed to avoid Hans, who was probably still in the auditorium smoking. But he didn't come to mind at all and neither did the joint in her backpack. The whole time she thought about Anna and how this one girl was being so tenacious. It didn't bother her that Anna wanted to be friends, but it really left her confused at why she wanted to be friends. The more she thought about it the more it left her with a headache.

Getting in the car she just decided to blast the radio and think about nothing but the music that played. By the time she found a station that wasn't on commercial, she was already three quarters of the way home. There just enough time to listen to just one song.

"This is 103.9. Rap central. Now on the mic is Eminem."

The familiar piano started to play and then into the main rhythm of the beat.

"Look, If you had one shot, or one opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted...in one moment. Would you capture it, or just let it slip." In her mind she knew the answer to that question, no. One moment to let yourself be exposed and try to obtain something is not what I dream. One moment can't define someone. In Elsa's mind one moment wasn't enough.

"His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy. There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti. He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud. He opens his mouth but the words won't come out. He's choking, how? Everybody's jokin now. The clock's run out, time's up, over bloah." See that's why one moment is not good enough. Everything can be ruined.

"Snap back to reality. Oh there goes gravity. Oh there goes Rabbit, he choked. He's so mad, but he won't Give up that easy nope, he won't have." Back in her thoughts Elsa thought how could he get back up from that. Doing it again would only make things worse. "He knows, his whole back's to these ropes. It don't mater, he's dope. He knows that, but he's broke. He's so sad that he knows when he goes back to this mobile home, that's when it's back to lab again yo, this whole rap," She hated it when radio or TV blurs out curse words. Its so annoying and stupid, there just words to describe how bad or good something is.

"You better, lose yourself in the music, the moment you own it, you better never it go. You get one shot, don't miss your chance to blow. This opportunity comes once in a lifetime." How can he become one with the music if he failed so hard the first time, god it's like there's no stopping this guy.

"Souls escaping, through this hole that is gaping. The world is mine for the taking. Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order. A normal life is boring; but superstatdom's close to post-mortem, it only grows harder. Homie grows hotter, he blows it's all over. These hoes is all on him, coast to coast shows he' know as the Globetrotter. Lonely Roads, God only knows. He's grown farther from home, he's no father. He goes home and barely knows his own daughter." Well maybe if he weren't trying to chase this failed dream of his he could actually do something in his life and spend time with his daughter. She was about to switch the station when she arrived at the gates.

Turning down the music, she rolled down the window and clicked the intercom. The guard was always asleep and this one way to wake him up. She waited for the gates to open before turning up the radio again, "You better, lose yourself in the music, the moment you own it, you better never let it go. You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow. This opportunity comes in lifetime. You better, lose your self in the moment you own it, you better never let it go. You only get one shot, do not miss you chance to blow. This opportunity comes in a lifetime, you better."

Pulling into the garage she turned down the radio again. Parking close to the front of the garage she reached for her bag. Only she realized that the blunt of weed was still in there. Groaning and bringing her hands up to rub her temples she just sat there and listened to the rest of the song.

"And these times are so hard, and it's gettin even harder. Tryin to feed and water my seeds plus, teeter-totter. Caught up between bein a father and a primadonna Baby momma drama screamin on her too much for me to wanna stay in one spot, another day of monotony. He's gotten to the point, I'm like a snail I've got to formulate a plot, or end up in jail or shot. Success in my only mo-in option, failure's not."

"Mom I love you but this trailer's got to go. I cannot grow old in Salem's Lot. So here I go it's my only opportunity that I got." She turned the radio off and got out of the car. Racing up to her room she her unlocked her bedroom door and slammed it shut. leaning back against it she slid down and stared blankly towards her bed. Marshmallow walked over to her and sat next to her. Being really big she could only scratch just bellow his neck. He whimpered and laid down next to.

"I hate this Marsh. I really do. Hans is trying so much to get me do some weird shit and I don't want any part of it." She looked down at her dog who gave her a comforting look. She sighed and got up from the floor and opened her backpack. Looking at the rolled up piece of paper she gabbed it. "I regret so much." She felt her eyes burn. "Am I about to regret even more."

Starting to treble Marshmallow walked over to her and whimpered again. "I don't know what to do. If anyone catches me with this I'm fucked. But if someone catches me smoking it." Sitting on bed she felt tears around her eyes. Marshmallow put his head down on her lap and looked at her worried. She look out the lighter Hans had given her, something else she had forgotten to leave behind.

Putting on end in her mouth, her hands began to tremble. The lighter was becoming increasingly difficult to hold and tears were slipping down her cheeks. "I'm sorry." She light the lighter and brought it closer to the paper in her mouth. Before letting the paper burn she told Marshmallow she loved him. And with in minutes she forgot everything, only the feeling of coughing and a burning sensation in her lungs were the only things she could remember.

By the time she came to, it was twelve at night. She sat up and turned on a light. Marshmallow was near the door, and she could see he had been scratching at it to get out. Falling back to the bed she cried. Unable to bring herself to see if her dog was at least alright she just called his name weakly. "Marshmallow?" She choked out.

The dog lifted his head and starred at her. "It's okay." Her breath was shaky.

He sprang up and walked over to her. As soon as he was in arms distance she launched her self at him. Crying and hugging her dog as tight as she could, she kept telling him she was so sorry, and that she'd never do it again.

She also realized there was no way she could go to school the next day. It was too late to get any sleep and by morning she'd more than just tired. Which would mean disappointing Anna, and her teacher. Now bawling her eyes out, regret and self-loathing took over and before long she fell asleep on the floor with Marshmallow curled up next to her.
