'' Mom why should I wait for Elsa to pick me up? '' Anna whined, following her mother into the kitchen and hoped on a stool at the counter. Gerda, the servant, placed a bowl of fresh milk in front of her with her cereal.
'' Sweetie she's taking you to school, I already told you that '' I dun replied simply while writing something on a notepad.
'' But why can't Kai take me? ''
The girl didn't want to go with Elsa after the conversation they had last time and Kai is always the one who takes her to school anyway.
'' Kai is taking your father and I to the airport in one hour and he will accompany us during the trip. We will need his services. ''
'' Ugh, that's so unfair. '' The girl groans slumping her shoulders in defeat.
'' And what is so unfair to my babygirl this morning? '' Agdar came in the kitchen carrying his briefcase. The man placed a kiss on his daughter's forehead and went straight to the coffee pot.
'' I don't wanna go with Elsa to school. ''
'' And why not? ''
'' Because she hates me. ''
Both Idun and Agdar shared a concerned look. Of course they noticed how their daughters were acting but they just thought it was because they were growing up but they never thought that Anna would think that of her sister.
Idun sighed and laid her pen down.
'' Baby, Elsa doesn't hate you. She could never hate you ''
'' Yes she does, I know she does. ''
'' Anna why do you say that? '' The girl looked up to meet her father's grey eyes and shrugged, not wanting to talk about why her sister hated her so much. '' Did Elsa tell you that? ''
'' what? No! '' She just shows it.
'' Then why do you say that? ''
'' Because she thinks I'm annoying. ''
'' You? Annoying? '' Agdar laughed at her silly answer '' Annabelle, you are not annoying. In fact, I think you're the sweetest girl in the world, don't you think so dear? '' he asked his wife.
'' Of course she is '' Idun smiled fondly at the girl and turned to look at the servant '' Isn't she precious Gerda? ''
'' Yes ma'am, Ms. Anna surely is a sweetheart. ''
'' See? '' She told her daughter who rolled her eyes. Her parents were so ignorant, though she couldn't help but appreciate their efforts. She knew her parents love her, they love both their daughters and always did.
'' Why can't I just have my own car? We have a ton of cars in the garage ''
'' Those are from a collection dear. ''
'' So what's the point in having cars if we can't drive them. Elsa had her first car at sixteen. ''
'' That's because she needed one and you're not even sixteen yet to have a license. ''
'' Fiiiiiinnnee. ''
'' Come on Annabelle, show me that pretty smile of yours. ''
'' Papa, I'm gonna spill the milk. '' Anna groaned when her father poked her cheek to make her smile.
'' We don't want such a thing to happen right? ''
'' Nope. ''
'' Then give me a smile. '' Agdar tickled her in the side and it finally worked. Anna was in a giggling fit, desperately trying to do the same with her father.
'' Papa stop! ''
Idun found herself watching her daughter and husband playing their silly game. If Anna was childish, it was definitely because she inherited it from Agdar.
'' Mom you can at least help me! ''
'' Mama can't help you. '' Agdar replied deviously.
'' Ah haha no-hoho papa sto-hohop! ''
'' Sometimes I wonder who is the child here. ''
'' You were saying dear? '' Agdar turned to look at his wife.
'' Gotcha! '' Anna roared, jumping at her father's neck to get her revenge.
'' Gosh, you'll end up brea- ''
CRASH
'' -king something. '' Idun closed her eyes, pinching the bridge of her nose when Anna's bowl of cereals was knocked off the counter and broke to pieces. Milk was spilled all over the floor and onto Anna's cheerleading top.
'' Oh... '' Anna looked sheepishly at her mother.
'' What am I gonna do with you two. ''
'' Oup's... sorry. ''
'' At least it wasn't your grand-mother's vase. '' Agdar mumbled but immediatly cowered under his wife's dirty look. '' Umm... ''
'' I'm uh... gonna change my top. ''
Anna jumped off her stool and she felt a little smack on her bottom as she passed by Idun to run up to her room.
'' Mom! '' She turned around with her mouth agape and scowled.
'' Yes daughter. ''
The smile on her mother's face kinda freaked Anna out and her scowl quickly vanished.
'' Nevermind. '' She continued her way out of the kitchen.
'' That's what I thought. '' Idun muttered, looking back at her husband. Gerda came in the room with a broom and mop to clean up the mess on the floor. '' Ah ah Gerda. Leave it to my husband. ''
'' What? '' Agdar gasped.
'' But- ''
'' You're not cleaning this up. ''
'' But Ma- ''
'' Gerda. '' Idun cuts her off again, using a serious tone. '' It's an order. ''
The servant stood unmoving in the middle of the kitchen, wondering what to do next. Idun gave her husband a look that caused Agdar to dash for the items Gerda brought and started cleaning the mess. Once he was done, he threw the broken glasses in the trash and looked at his wife.
'' Happy? ''
'' Very. '' Idun smiled triumphaly. Suddenly, the loud sound of a horn interrupted them and Gerda went to the window to see who it was.
'' Ms. Elsa is here. ''
When Anna came out of the house, her parents were talking with Elsa.
'' Anna come on. ''
'' Coming. '' She made her way towards where the car was parked and hugged her parents before climbing in the backseats, not wanting to be too close to her sister.
'' Elsa, you'll drop your sister at school and pick her up after practice alright? '' Agdar said.
'' I know '' she nods. Her mother already told her that on the phone last night when she called.
'' Anna behave okay? ''
'' Yeah '' the younger replied vaguely.
'' Alright '' Their mother nods and stepped back '' Take care, call us if there's an emergency. ''
'' Yup. ''
'' Anna I said an emergency. ''
'' Mom I know. '' Anna rolled her eyes.
'' Having your stash of chocolate empty is not an emergency. ''
'' That was once. '' she huffed.
'' Okay, okay. '' Agdar chuckled at his youngest. '' We'll be back soon, we love you girls '' he smiled.
'' Love you too. '' Both sisters replied before Elsa finally pulled the car out of their big driveway, rounded the fountain and was off to school.
Anna put her earphones and turned her Ipod touch on. Neither of them talked the entire ride and Anna was out of the car as soon as they were in front of the school. She went her own way while Elsa went the opposite way, once again acting like two strangers.
During her free period after lunch, Anna went to the library to work on some homework due for the next day. She found a good place on one of the many couches.
'' Hey Anna '' She looked up from her laptop to find Olaf standing in front of her, holding a biology book in his hands.
'' Hey Olaf. ''
'' Do you mind if I sit with you. ''
'' Of course not. '' she gigled scooting over to make him some place.
'' Thanks. ''
She smiled at him but quickly her smile turned into a frown when she saw a bruise at the corner of his left eye '' What happened to your eye? ''
'' Ah, Hans and his friends threw me in the dumpster just for the pleasure, thanks God I had spare clothes for football practice ''
'' Wait, what?'' She felt her fists clenching by her sides. That son of bitch!
'' Don't worry, nothing biggie ''
'' Nothing biggie? '' she scoffed '' Olaf, of course it's a big deal geez! And why would he do that to you? ''
'' Oh just because I crossed his path, you know? '' He chuckled shrugging his shoulders.
'' It's not funny '' she shook her head.
'' Hey see the bright side, it could be worse. '' He smiled '' It doesn't hurt that much anyway. ''
'' You're crazy, you know that? ''
'' Yeah '' He nods, making a serious face before they both burst.
'' Ahem. '' The librarian cleared his thoat.
'' Sorry. '' They muttered chuckling lightly.
'' So anyway, I saw you talking with this boy yesterday in the hallway. '' Olaf said, changing the subject. Anna nodded slowly with a bush. '' Ariel told me there might be a thing between you two ''
'' She did what? '' Anna scoffed turning to look at Olaf with wide eyes. Somewhere in the back of her head, she made a note to talk with Ariel about that.
'' She said that there mi- ''
'' No I heard you, sorry. '' Anna cuts him off.
'' Well... so umm is it true? ''
'' Is what true? ''
'' You and the boy. ''
'' Me and Adam? Dunno, I like him but I don't think we're a thing. '' she shrugged.
'' Anna do you know him? ''
Anna gave him an incredulous look '' Of course I know him, he's Adam Scott, he's popular and he just throws the best party ever. Everybody know him ''
'' No I mean personally. ''
'' Yeah, we've been working on a project art last week and he was my partner. He's really cool. '' she quickly added.
'' He has a Don Juan reputation too. '' Olaf bashfully added.
'' What's that supposed to mean? '' she narrowed her eyes slightly.
'' With all the things I've heard about him, I'm just worried. That's all. ''
'' About me? ''
'' Yeah you, silly goose. '' Olaf rolled his eyes when he saw the grin forming on her lips.
'' Aww that's so sweet Olaf but you don't have to worry, I mean he just asked me if I wanted to go on dinner with him someday. It's not like he proposed. ''
'' We never know. '' He grumbled '' You're aware that if he hurts you, he'll have to deal with Sven, Eric and me right? And quite possibly Kristoff too, he really cares about you. ''
'' I never thought of you as the violent type. '' she teased.
'' No but I can hold the camera while he gets his ass kicked by Sven. '' He smirked.
'' Well duh. ''
'' No one mess with you and Ariel. ''
'' Aw. '' Anna laughed elbowing the boy in his side causing Olaf to nudge her back.
Sooner, the two were pushing each other, laughing madly like some kids not caring if what they were doing was librarian sighed loudly to catch their attention and gave them another look, silently telling the two to calm down.
Anna cleared her throat trying to hold her laughter and apologized again '' sorry. ''
Olaf just found the siuation funny which didn't help because he started to laught more loudly and it was not good because then, Anna couldn't hold herself anymore and she laughed again.
Of course, they were both thrown out of the library after that. Literally.
When Elsa picked Anna up after school, the girl didn't expect to see Rapunzel with her sister but she was happy nonetheless.
'' Hey Munchkin. '' Rapunzel squealed, pulling the girl into a hug.
Anna laughed at the nickname Rapunzel gave her years ago, it stuck apparently. '' Hi Punzie, how are you doing? ''
'' Same old, same old '' The brunette replied as they climbed in the car. Elsa didn't say anything and Anna went to sit in the backseat again while Rapunzel took the passenger seat.
'' Gosh I just love thoses seats so much. '' Rapunzel sighed contently, leaning into the comfort of her leather seat and closed her eyes.
'' You won't fall asleep in my car too huh? '' Elsa spoke. Anna squirmed behind them having a feeling that her sister said that because of her since she fell asleep the other day.
'' I wouldn't dare ''
'' Yeah right. '' Elsa grins, starting the car. As soon as they were on the road, Rapunzel shifted in her seat in order to look at the girl on the backseat.
'' So Anna, how are you? ''
'' Fine. ''
'' I've seen you at practice the other day on the football field, you were really great! ''
'' Thanks. '' Anna blushed a little '' We're practicing for the game friday. This is a big game, so it's gonna be crazy. ''
'' Yeah I know, Eugene got us tikets. We couldn't miss it ''
'' Of course. '' Anna smiled.
'' So anyway, how does it feel like to be a flyer? ''
'' It's amazing, practice is a bit tiring but it's fun. ''
'' Aren't you afraid to be tossed in the air and doing figures that could give you a backache in the morning? '' Rapunzel asked, sounding a bit concerned.
'' No it's really fun. You dance, cheer and when you're in the air, you can feel the adrenaline rising within you and this is what I love the most. ''
'' You're a crazy kid right? ''
'' So I've heard. ''
'' I'd like to feel that kind of rush though, even if it's for a second but I think I'll just die from a heart attack. ''
'' You won't die Punzie '' Anna rolled her eyes and quietly added '' unless you fall on your neck. ''
Rapunzel's face paled at the statement.
'' This is not something to joke with Anna. '' To her surprise, it was Elsa who just spoke. To her. Totally unexpeted...
'' Look who just woke up from her slumber. '' The girl mumbled, ignoring the glare her sister gave her through the rear view mirror.
'' She's always been a taught one, right Elsa? '' Rapunzel glanced at the blonde.
'' When she's not being clumsy and reckless. ''
Anna rolled her eyes. Whatever she does, it's never enough for Elsa.
'' Well, she wouldn't be the Anna I know if she wasn't those things. '' Rapunzel shrugged, winking at Anna '' Besides the fact that I don't like her being hurt, I can't imagine her being too careful and not running into a vase or something like that. It's just weird. ''
'' And what's that supposed to mean? '' Anna raised a brow at her.
'' Simply that a normal Anna would be boring, don't ya tink? This is why you shouldn't change a bit ''
'' Funny that's what Kristoff told me once ''
'' I knew he wasn't that dumb. '' The brunette giggled. '' By the way, do you you have a boyfriend? ''
'' No but there's that boy, his name is Adam and he's a junior. ''
'' Wait what? '' Elsa blurted out of nowhere as she turned around to look at the girl, subsonsciously letting go of the wheel at the same time.
'' Shit Elsa, eyes on the road! '' Anna lets out a high pitch squeal as Rapunzel reached over to grip the wheel and brought the car back into their line. Elsa immediatly looked back on the road and took the control of the car again.
'' Fuck Elsa, what the hell was that? ''
'' Sorry. '' she told her friend.
'' And I'm the reckless one. '' Anna said still a bit shoked by what just happened.
Elsa didn't respond to that comment '' Are you okay? '' instead she asked, her eyes never leaving the road. She really felt bad for what she did, she was never that reckless. Never...
'' You mean physically or mentally? Because, either way, I don't have a clue. Might be traumatized for the rest of my life. ''
'' I guess you're fine then, your sarcasm is back. '' Elsa concluded.
'' It's a family thing, I guess. ''
'' Siblings '' Rapunzel shook her head. If Elsa and Anna don't talk to each other that much, when they do, they're always bickering and rolling their eyes.
'' Though, if I was to date someone, it would be my choice. '' Anna said as they finally pulled into their hallway.
'' No way you're dating someone, you're still a kid. '' Elsa snapped.'' And definitely not this Adam Scott. ''
'' I'll date whoever I want to date, you don't have any control on my life. '' Anna replied feeling defensive as she swiftly unbuckled her seatbelt '' and Adam is a nice guy. ''
'' You're only fifteen. '' Elsa didn't miss to remind her sister, turning her head to look at the girl on the backseat.
'' Almost sixteen. ''
'' Eight months is far from almost and even then, you're still too young to date and yes I know Adam, he doesn't have the best reputation to be honest. ''
'' Why do you care if I date someone or not huh? It's not like you ever cared before. '' Anna eyed her sister and yet again there was something in Elsa's eyes. Something she couldn't put a finger on, that's when a question popped up in her head and a smirk appeared on her lips '' That's because you care right? ''
'' Just promise me that you won't date Adam '' Elsa sighed.
'' So you care. ''
'' Promise me. ''
'' Admit it ''
'' Anna. '' came the warning tone that will sonner turn into a frustrated one.
'' Fine geez, I won't date him. '' Anna shook her head, grabbing her things and jumped out of the car. She doesn't even know exactly why she decided to agree but a part of her always wanted to have Elsa's blessing. Doing something that wouldn't dissappoint her big sister for once. So that was it. '' Goodnight. ''
'' Bye Munchkin, '' Rapunzel waved '' maybe we could go to the cinema someday. ''
'' Sure. '' Anna smiled, waving back and ran into the Mansion. Elsa didn't pull out until Anna was completely in the house.
'' She's growing up Elsa and you're missing all of it. '' Rapunzel told her friend, knowing full well their situation.
She doesn't know why Elsa was pushing Anna away. The girl was such a sweetheart she wants and while everyone wants to befriend the girl, her older sister was trying to avoid her like the plague. It was ridiculous.
Elsa however didn't say anything. She was not in the mood.
As Anna made her way into the house, she was greeted by Gerda '' Good evening Ms. Anna, it's good to see you back. ''
'' Hi Gerda ''
'' How was school? ''
'' Good, thank you. ''
'' Why don't you go and take a bath while I prepare the dinner. '' The servant suggested.
'' I think I'll have a dive in the pool. What's for dinner? Can we have pizza? Mama and papa are not here so... '' Anna trailed off.
'' I don't know Ms. Anna. ''
'' Please, please, pleeeaaasse... '' The girl begged, giving the old woman the puppy look
Gerda sighed, knowing she wasn't able to say no to that face..
''Alright but don't tell your parents I'm letting you eat pizza behind their back. ''
'' Not a word. '' Anna nodded her head firmly and zipped her mouth before running upstairs to change into a bathing suit.
Her eyes fixed the night sky as she stayed affloat in the pool, only her face wasn't submerged by the water, unlike the rest of her body. She was thinking about Elsa's reaction. The look of horror that crossed her sister's face at the mention of her having a boyfriend. Even Rapunzel seemed surpised.
Why would Elsa react this way? So far, she just showed Anna that she doesn't care about her or anything she does but was it really the case? The way she looked was as if just the thought of Anna dating would be the end of the world.
It was just weird and confusing for the girl. Elsa seems to have two personnality, both of them being cold but one being less... bitchy? She noticed that when Elsa was around Hans she would totally ignore her or even tease her but when the bastard was not in sight, Elsa would at least talk to her. Maybe she doesn't always say nice things but at least she talks.
'' You are a mistery Elsa. '' Anna sighed, closing her eyes before she doved and let herself being entirely submerged by the cold water.
