Zell Meets The Frosts

"How's your soup, dear?" Mrs. Corona asked. Zell smiled a little too wide. "It's great mom. Just great."

"Sweetie? Is there something wrong?" Mrs. Corona said with concern.

Zell's face dropped. "I just….. We've been here for three days, and I still haven't met a single person! Are you sure there aren't any ghosts living in the houses around us instead of people?" she said.

Mrs. Corona smiled kindly, and reached for Zell's hand. "Sweetie, I'm sure you'll find someone to "hang out" with! Just be patient, dear!" she cooed.

Zell remained silent until a sudden knock on the door made her jump.

Mrs. Corona rose from her chair. "I wonder who that is?" she said as she walked into the dining room. Zell stood up as well. "Mom! Can I get it?" she asked. Mrs. Corona smiled. "Fine."

Zell sighed, and slowly opened the door. To her surprise, there were two girls standing in the doorway.

The older one looked like she was only a few years older than Zell. She wore a white blouse and a Blue skirt with little white sparkles hanging from the hems. If Zell didn't know better, she would have thought they were snowflakes. The girl had icy blue eyes, and pale blonde hair.

The younger girl had on a purple halter-top with pink lace. She was wearing Jean shorts similar to Zell's, and had very red hair that was pulled into two pigtails. She looked to be about Zell's age too, and had a very bright smile. She was carrying a box of chocolates in one hand, and the other held the older girl's.

The red-haired girl spoke first. "Hi! I'm Anna! I'm sooo glad you moved in! I was so lonely and I really wanted a neighbor my age and now you're here!" she said excitedly.

The blonde girl rolled her eyes. "Anna, you're going to give her a heart attack!" she reprimanded the younger girl, and then turned to face Zell."Anyway, I'm Elsa. We live across the street, in the white-ish house over there."

She pointed to the house directly across the street from them. She nudged Anna, who was playing with the lace on her shirt. She looked up suddenly. "Oh! We brought you some chocolate! It's mine and Elsa's favorite!"

Anna handed the small, red box to Zell. She smiled. "Thanks! I love chocolate too!"

Zell opened the package and bit into a piece. "This is delicious!" she said, her mouth full of chocolate. "Oh, I'm Zell! It's nice to meet you both. I was hoping there was somebody my age here!"

Anna's eyes grew wide. She flung herself into Zell's arms. "YIPPEE! NOW WE CAN BE BESTIES AND HAVE SLEEPOVERS AND TALK ABOUT BOYS AND…"Anna looked around, and slowly let go of Zell.

Elsa smiled. "Speaking of boys, I tried to get my brother to come out and say hi, but he refused." She said sadly.

Anna nudged Elsa in the arm. "Ehem! You mean STEP- brother." She frowned. Elsa nodded. "Sorry." She turned to Zell. "He's really moody and stuff. He doesn't like to leave his room, and when he does, he argues with my mom."

Elsa looked down. Zell put a hand on her shoulder. "Hey, don't look so sad! You just made a friend!" Elsa smiled at the gesture, and hugged Zell.

"Thanks, Zell! I've only known you for what, five minutes? And I feel like I've known you for years."Elsa smiled, and pulled away.

Zell put another piece of chocolate on her mouth. "So, this brother of yours… is he cute?" she said with a smirk. Anna's eyes grew wide again. "OMG! YOU GUYS SHOULD DATE AND GET MARRIED AND HAVE THREE KIDS AND A BLACK LAB AND LIVE HERE FOREVER AND ELSA AND I CAN COME VISIT YOU AND WE CAN ALL EAT CHOCOLATE TOGETHER AND…"

"Anna!" Elsa interrupted. "Please, you're making Zell uncomfortable!" she nudged her sister gently. Anna looked down.

Then Elsa turned to Zell again. "To answer your question, yes. Jack is… well, I don't think he's cute, but all my friends do. If that helps." She shrugged her shoulders.

"Well, Anna and i have to go help our mom with dinner. It was nice meeting you Zell!" Elsa waved, and turned to go. Anna ran and hugged Zell again. "When do you start school, Zell?" she asked.

Zell frowned. "Tomorrow, actually. I'm going to Ridgewood High." She said.

Anna smiled widely. "OMG! That's where Elsa and I go! Jack too..." she said, lifting her eyebrows at the "Jack" part. Zell rolled her eyes.

"Ha-ha, very funny! See you later Anna!" she said as Anna turned around. "Bye Zell! Enjoy the chocolates!"

Zell closed the door with a sigh. Maybe things didn't suck so bad after all….
