Catching Up | Facing Fears

Elena POV

Harry and I woke up and got breakfast a while ago, we have two days including today before classes start up again so we're just getting into the swing of things still! We decided to go on a little walkabout just for fun, so we went ahead and did just that! Walked around the campus a little bit, staying close and hand in hand the whole time as we talked about whatever was on our minds.

As we walked and talked, I felt my phone buzz in my pocket. Harry peered down at me as I pulled my phone out and checked to see a group chat with Mal and Evie in it lighting up with the two of them talking about meeting up with me to catch up sometime today and how Evie had made us a group manicure appointment! I smiled at the message and since Harry always likes to peek at my phone anyway, I showed him the messages,

"Mal and Evie wanna hang out soon to catch up! That's gonna be so fun!"

I happily spoke, Harry chuckled and gave me a warm smile,

"That will be, I'm excited for ya"

I quickly texted them back letting them know I was in. I then tucked my phone away and looked up at Harry,

"You have anything you wanna do while I'm with the girls?"

Harry hummed and tilted his head a little, thinking for a moment before lighting up a bit,

"I could totally head ta the gym and start getting ready for sword practice again, that would be most productive"

Oh that is a good idea indeed! I smiled at his pure enthusiasm at the thought of fencing again and thought for a moment,

"You haven't done a full workout since before the break huh?"

Harry chuckled and shrugged,

"Well, not really besides chopping firewood with yer uncle, carrying ya around which isn't really a workout at all, but mostly holding onto Nokk or ya while riding Nokk for dear life"

Oh that's right! He did get little workouts here and there then huh? Especially riding Nokk I'm sure, but those aren't exactly the workouts needed to fence so I get it,

"Oh yeah! I'm sure it'll feel nice to get back into the rhythm of training though"

Harry let out a happy sigh and nodded,

"Yeh, I'm ready ta tone myself up a wee bit for sure, not ta mention getting ta get back in the fencing ring"

I looked forward again and noticed a certain individual that I've come to dislike quite a bit, Audrey, about to walk past us. I don't know, I just feel like she's nasty for no reason! I mean maybe there is a reason, but goodness me! She can just be cruel, and unfortunately she didn't exactly pass by us. Instead, she paused and looked up at Harry, ignoring the fact that I was even here,

"Harry! Back from break huh? I'm surprised you even went anywhere"

Harry sighed and slowly looked over to her with a light groan before answering in a very mundane tone,

"I went ta Arendelle with Elena, why do ye care?"

Audrey glanced over to me but seemed to ignore me again, instead, she seemed to reach down for Harry's hand which he quickly snatched away from her,

"Don't touch me"

He quickly growled before gently tugging me and beginning to walk again with a little more haste than last time, I heard her scoff and attempt to catch up with us,

"Why do you never even give me a chance? It isn't fair!"

A chance? What does that mean? I furrowed my brow and looked up at Harry with a little bit of concern which got him to lean down and briefly and quietly explain,
