Hi guys I had a busy week but I'm still here to update at least one chapter per week. So here's the chapter eight.

At school, everyone knew about Agdar and Idun's death, heck the whole world knew and a lot of people mourned with the remaining heirs of the Arendelle Worldwide. Students smiled sympathically at Anna as she walked down the hallway, some would pat her shoulder or simply nod in respect. In return, she smiled back gratefully.

A simple gesture but it took her all her might to make something as simple as a smile.

'' You don't have to do that, you know? ''

'' What? '' She looked at Ariel confusely.

'' Smile when you don't feel like it '' the red head replied softly. Anna shook her head and continued down the cafeteria with Ariel following close.

'' I don't know wat you're talking about. ''

To Anna, it was just natural to smile, she does that everytime even if the the heart is not here. What was she supposed to do other than smiling? She didn't want her friends to worry about her, that's why she decided to put on a brave face.

'' I'm just saying that it would be understandable if you don't smile. You've just lost your parents Anna. ''

The ginger girl frowned. '' So you want me to dwell on this and act all miserable? '' She asked, looking at her friend incredulously.

'' I never said that. '' Ariel sighed slumping her shoulders '' I want you to be yourself for once, people won't judge you because you're not smiling. Just... please Anna, tell me if you're not okay, I'm here if you need someone to talk to. ''

Anna smiled genuinely and pulled the girl in for a hug '' I know you're here Red, you've always been there for me. And you know I'm here for you too. ''

'' I'm the one who is supposed to be comforting you, silly. ''

'' You being here is enough '' she said pulling away. The girls went to grab their lunch and sat at a table with Sven and Olaf. Today was burger with french fries and usually Anna would be eager to dig in but she was not that hungry.

'' You're picky, not hungry? '' Sven asked looking at her plate.

'' Yeah. ''

'' Never thought I'd see this day. '' he chuckled trying to light up the mood and it worked... a bit.

Anna giggled with a playful roll of eyes while Ariel fowned and Olaf laughed awkwardly.

'' If you want my french fries, you just have to ask '' she replied teasingly.

'' I'll gladly spare you that trouble. It's a hard task, you know? ''

" Of course. ''

'' Hey guys '' Eric joined the group of friends.

'' Hey buddy, sit with us? '' Olaf said.

'' Sure. '' he nodded, placing his tray down '' Is she okay? '' the boy asked the others while glancing at Anna briefly.

'' I think she's good for now, at least she's talking. ''

'' Even teasing. '' Sven agreed with Olaf.

'' Seriously? '' Anna rolled her eyes. Her friends were talking about her as if she wasn't even there. Do they think she was that miserable? Honestly she was but it couldn't be that obvious. Could it?

'' Sorry. '' Eric apologies, giving her a quick hug '' We're just worry about you. ''

'' I'm fine. '' She replied, more to herself than the boy.

'' Alright '' He smiled, pausing a moment and cleared his throat '' Umm...I'd like to talk with you Ariel. ''

The red head looked at him surprised '' Me? '' Eric nodded but made no move to sit with them, silently telling her that he needs to talk with her in private '' where? ''

'' The auditorium? '' He suggested knowing practcally no one use the auditorium at the moment.

'' Okay. '' She stood up and followed the boy.

The other watched them leave until they were out of sight before Anna spoke '' Ten dollars, he'll ask her out. ''

'' Twenty, he won't. '' Sven replied.

'' I thought he already did. '' Olaf said confused, looking betwen his friends.

'' Nope but he will. '' Anna smirked as if she already knew, well at least she hoped.

'' He won't. '' Sven insisted '' Eric is a romantic, I think he would probably invite her to the restaurant or something like that before asking. Not the auditorium ''

'' Exactly, it's the auditorium duh. ''

'' I don't see your point. '' He frowned.

'' You guys are really going to bet on it? '' Olaf asked.

'' Wanna bet? '' Anna asked him.

'' No thank you. '' the boy shook his head.

'' Get your twenty dollars ready Bjorgman, he'll ask her out. '' She concluded. Sven snorted before picking into her plate again.

Anna sighed, scanning the cafeteria, the outdoor court wasn't full as usual. It was the middle of the fall season and the days seem colder, it was understandable why the indoor court was crowdy. As she continued to scan the area, she caught a sight of Elsa sitting with her own friends.

'' Hey guys, I'm going to see my sister. '' She told Sven and Olaf.

'' Kay, we'll just stay here. '' Olaf smiled.

Nodding, she made her way towards her sister's table. Kristoff, Rapunzel and Flynn were in the middle of a conversation while Elsa was talking with Hans. She decided to ignore Hans as she approached the table, knowing he won't do anything when Kristoff is around.

'' Hey feisty pants. '' The blonde boy smiled at her and as she expected, Rapunzel was immediatly off the bench to give her a big hug.

'' Hi there sweetie. '' Rapunzel beamed pulling away.

'' Hi guys. '' She smiled back at everyone and stopped briefly to glare at Hans.

'' How are you doing cutie? '' Flynn asked, concern obvious in his voice. People used this tone with her a lot lately, how bad was it? She knew they were worry but it doesn't mean she has to like the look of pity everyone was giving her.

'' I'm fine. '' Judging by the looks she got from them, she knew it was more like they didn't believe her but she shrugged it off and turned to look at her sister '' Elsa can we talk? ''

She watched as her sister stared at her a moment as if to decide if she should talk with her or not '' Fine. '' the young woman sighed giving Anna more relief. She thought her sister would reject her in front of her friends. Though she knew Elsa did that only to avoid making a scene.

Elsa stood up and leads the way outside where there were less people.

'' What is it? '' She asked, crossing her arms clearly annoyed that her little sister bothered her.

'' You didn't talk to me the whole weekend during the funeral, and when I woke up this morning, you were gone. ''

'' Because there was nothing to talk about and unlike you I had some duties at the office. '' Elsa replied simply '' And I was supposed to be gone, I'm going back to the penthouse. ''

'' Oh '' Anna looked down at the floor '' I thought you'd stay a bit longer '' she mumbled.

'' I've never planned on staying at the mansion, it was only for the funeral and now that Kai is back, I'm no longer your ride so...''

'' Do you have to be so cold when you talk with me? '' she asked.

'' If you don't like the way I talk with you, then why do you insist that I talk with you? I don't get it. '' Elsa shook her head.

'' Is it bad if I want to have a decent conversation with my sister? There's so much to talk about Elsa and you know that. ''

'' Like what? ''

'' What about us? The futur? Are we going to act like nothing happened? I thought that now mama and papa are gone, we'd be more close. I know that's what they'd want us to be. They'd want us to be there for each other. ''

'' And what do you know about it, huh? Nothing's going to change and what if I don't want you to be there for me? I just want you to leave me alone. ''

'' But- ''

'' Back off Anna! '' Elsa hissed through her greeted teeth not caring if she was being loud. The girl took a step back at the sudden rise of Elsa's voice. Her lips started to quiver and she could feel the tears pooling at the corner of her eyes but she held them back.

'' What did I ever do to you Elsa? Why do you hate me so much? ''

'' Damn it, you're never done. Are you? '' Elsa rolled her eyes.

'' No, I want to understand. Just tell me what I did to you, I can't live like this anymore! ''

'' Then leave! '' Elsa snapped, throwing her hands in the air.

'' Hey! '' Someone yelled, catching the blonde's attention. Only then, Elsa noticed Olaf standing behind her with a look of pure shock upon his face.'' What the hell is fucking wrong with you? ''

It wasn't in his habit to be rude with people but after what he witnessed, he couldn't help it. Anna was one of his best buddies and he didn't like the way Elsa talked to her, big sister or not. Elsa looked shocked as well, however before she could answer, she heard her sister's footsteps as Anna stormed out hot in her heels without looking back.

'' Is it how you treat the only person that loves you more than life itself? ''

'' This is none of your business Olaf. '' Elsa sighed, shaking her head and turned around.

'' Maybe not but Anna is my friend and unlike you, I care about her. ''

Elsa froze on the spot and her eyes widened. Slowly, she spins around again and looked at the boy. '' Excuse me? '' she asked in a low voice. Her tone would normally make anybody cower in fear but Olaf stood straight, facing her.

'' I said that unlike you, I care about Anna. '' He bravely repeats. Elsa thought that either he was insanely brave or stupid.

Maybe both...

'' Because you think I don't? You are no one to tell how I feel, you don't know anything about me nor my relation with my sister. ''

'' I don't need to know anything to see through her smiles that she is suffering and yes, Anna told us about your relation. Honestly I don't care about what happened between you two but I know that it's hurting her. ''

'' I don't have to listen to you and I don't even know why I still do. ''

'' You can play the ignorant but don't be surprised if one day you wake up and realize that Anna is no longer the same. You will only have yourself to blame. '' Olaf said before walking away.

It took Elsa a moment to recover from what just happened and with a frustrated sigh, she headed back towards the food court.

Anna didn't exactly know where to go, she just walked away. It didn't matter where as long as it was away from her sister. Eventually she stopped when she realized that she landed at the football field. Sighing, she went to the bleachers and just as she was about to sit, Adam appeared out of nowhere with Snow and Aurora.

'' Hey Arendelle. '' Snow said.

'' Please leave me alone Snow. '' She retorted annoyed that she couldn't find some space to herself.

'' Aw we can't do that Anna, you're our friend. '' Aurora pouted, sitting down and pulled the girl with her as well. Anna was startled at first but she didn't say anything and sat next to the blonde instead.

'' We saw what happened in the hallway. '' Adam spoke.

Snow nodded fiercely and took Anna's hands in hers '' What your sister did was not cool. ''

'' It's okay, I'm used to this. '' Anna admitted looking away.

'' I don't like to see you sad. '' The boy said kneeling down in front of cupped her right cheek.

'' I can't help it at the moment. ''

'' We really like you Anna and I think you're cool. We want you to hang out more with us. '' Aurora told her. She looked at Adam and Snow, both nodding in agreement.

'' You do? '' She asked, looking at the girl '' I mean you're cool and well... I'm a me.''

'' So what? '' Snow cuts her off '' What's the big deal? ''

'' Well some people think I'm annoying '' Anna mumbled, refering to her sister and Hans. She was grateful that they wanted her to hang out with them but she didn't want to be too overbearing and annoy them as well.

Adam scoffed.

'' You're not annoying duh. Didn't you hear Aurora? We think you're cool and you're really hilarious ''

'' You really think that?''

'' Get your shits back Arendelle '' Snow rolled her eyes '' You're our friend, end of story. ''

'' And we have everything to make you feel good '' Aurora giggled, nudging Adam. The boy nodded in understanding and pulled something out of his pocket.

A joint.

'' Want some? '' He asked offering the stick to her.

Anna stared down at the joint. She had never done drugs before and right now, she couldn't turn down a new experience. It's not like she has her parents supervision anyway, they were gone, so it couldn't hurt anyone.

'' Believer me, it really makes you feel better. '' Snow encouraged her. Anna eyed the joint and shrugged.

'' Sure. '' She took it.

One hour later, Snow took Anna back to he Arendelle mansion because the girl was stoned her head off and it was safer to take her home than go to class.

'' I feel reaaaalllyyy funnyyy...'' Anna slurred as Snow helped her out of her car.

'' I think you had too much of that joint. '' The raven haired girl muttered under her breath, supporting Anna up to the large front porch and rang the doorbell waiting for someone to open. Thanks God, she wasn't heavy and barely weight a pound. '' Okay Anna, remember our deal? Let me do the talk and not a single word from you. ''

'' Kayyy. '' Anna giggled not feeling like doing the talk anyway. She was too busy being happy in her own little world.

Finally the door opened and Kai was surprised to see Anna back so soon.

'' Miss. Anna? '' He looked at the girl who was leaning on another girl. '' Are you okay? I thought I was to pick you up at four this afternoon. ''

'' I'm her friend, Snow. '' Snow spoke for the girl '' I took Anna home because she said she was sleepy and didn't feel really good and I thought it would be best if she has some rest. You know, with everything that happened... '' She trailed off.

'' Of course '' Kai nodded, stepping to the side to let the girls in '' please come in. Let me take her ''

'' No it's okay, just show me where her bedroom is and I'll help her. ''

'' That is kind of you but I ca- ''

" please sir, I insist. ''

'' Oh alright '' The man nodded leading the way upstairs.

Snow tried not to be too amazed by the fancy interior of the mansion. Her own house was a mansion but the Arendelle mansion was definitely the best so far. Everything was so clean and expensive. And that chandelier... Shaking her head, Snow followed the man until they were in front of a white door with pink beautiful patterns on it.

Kai opened the door for the girls and left.

'' Okay, let's get you in. '' Snow walked in with Anna, trying not to be too impressed by the size of the room. She chuckled when the girl threw hersel on the bed and was practically knocked out as soon as she hits her pillow.

'' Thanksss... '' Anna mumbled, subsconsiously kicking her shoes.

'' You're welcome Arendelle. '' Snow replied with a grin '' Nice room by the way.''

Anna hummed in response, turning on her side. Snow shook her head and quietly slipped out of the room, leaving the girl in a peaceful slumber. She met Kai downstairs.

'' She is asleep, don't worry for her classes. I got it covered. ''

'' Alright, thank you Miss. '' The man bowed and walked her to the front doors. Finally Snow left the mansion.

Next day.

'' Where the hell were you yesterday Anna? '' Sven asked the girl when he met her at her locker the next morning with Olaf.

'' I was busy, I had something to do at home. '' she lied easily. She thought that if she acted normal, no one would suspect anything was wrong.

'' Well, is everything okay? '' Olaf asked concerned.

Anna couldn't help the smile on her face, remembering the feeling the joint provided her yesterday. She felt happy and she didn't feel that way for awhile.

'' Perfectly fine. '' She beamed, closing her locker and looked down the hallway to see Ariel coming towards them, and she wasn't alone. Eric was with her, holding her hand '' I hope you have you twenty dollars ready Bjorgman, because you lost the bet. ''

'' What are you talking about? ''

'' Oh crap. '' Sven groaned seein,g the couple behind him.

'' Hey guys. '' Ariel announced with a big smile upon her face.

Sven glared at Eric as he shoved twent dollars towards Anna '' Man did you have to ask her out yesterday? '' he grumbled.

'' Wait, how do you know? '' Ariel frowned turning to look at Eric '' Did you? ''

'' Nope.''

'' You guys made me lost my money for lunch. '' Sven huffed while Eric looked at him confused.

'' And how did we do that? ''

'' Ignore him, congratulations ''Anna hugged the new lovers '' You guys are amazing, thank you. '' she sai, pulling away and snatched her due in Sven's hand.

Ariel blinked at her clearly confused '' Umm... you're welcome? '' she said smiling at her friends awkwardly.

'' Though, if you hurt her, you're a dead meat. '' Anna told Eric who gulped at her threat '' Well guys, I gotta go. See you later '' she announced more cheerfully.

'' Where are you going? '' Asked Eric.

'' See my friends. ''

The boy pouted, pretending to be offended '' You have other friends? What about us? ''

'' Yes Sherlok, I have friends. '' Anna rolled her eyes '' Why are you complaining? You have your girlfriend to entertain you. ''

Eric didn't have a come back for that as his cheeks turned into a crimson color.

'' Alright dear friends of mine, see ya! ''

'' What's gotten into her? '' Olaf asked.

Anna smiled and simply skipped down the hallway, oblivious to the weird looks her friends shared. They had a feeling that something was off with Anna. The girl looked genuinely happy, not that it bothers them but she looked a bit too happy regarding the pevious events. What was up with Anna? They wondered.

Little did they know, the girl was looking for a certain person that could give her some relief before she could start her day.

Ah that was a tough one. Tell me what you guys think and please be honest with me. I like to know your opinion. Peace my lovely readers!
