Friday; Fifth week of school
"Jack?" I heard Elsa's voice say. I instantly turned around at her meek voice. She was walking towards me with Hiccup trailing behind. Great can things get any worse?

I was still trying to frantically push the blonde off of me, with no luck. "Its not what it looks like." I said as i held out my hands to show her that i was not returning the hug.

No one said anything as Elsa stood only inches from where I was. I kept looking at Elsa as she looked at me. It seemed as if she was trying to decide something. Maybe deciding what to say in this situation
"Lottie?" A girl suddenly calls out. The girl around me seemed to tense up. "Oh my goodness Lottie that is you! What in heaven are you doing?" The girl asked. The girl giggled frantically and let me go. "Hey Tiana." She said fluttering her fingers at the angry girl with a green shirt. The 'Lottie' girl then looked at all of us, her eyes finally landing on Elsa.
"Queen." She said as she curtsied before effectively running off towards her friend. Weird girl...
"I don't even know the girl I swear!" I say pointing towards where the girl had left to. Elsa still didn't say anything.

But suddenly Hiccup erupted in laughter excellently breaking the tension around us.

I couldn't help but feel gratitude towards Hiccup's outburst. To my relief even Elsa had a small smile across her fair complexion.

I was about to say something when suddenly an annoying phone went off.

We each looked around and waited to see who's phone had ruined the good mood, but much to my surprise Elsa was the one who took out a phone and by the look in her face she was also surprised
"His phone?!" I hear Elsa mutter under her breathe. Hiccup and I continued to stare, as she kept looking at the phone.
"I uh have to go." She says absently slipping the phone back to place. We nodded and she left off running.

We stood there for a long time not knowing what to do with ourselves. "So what were you telling Elsa?" I ask rocking on the balls of my feet looking curiously at my best friend. "Huh, oh, uh nothing much." Hiccup says avoiding my eyes. Suspicious.

Before I could open my mouth Hiccup feigned looking at an invisible watch. "Look at the time! I have to go..." He said slowly facing away. I didn't even have to look at him to know he was up to something. "Hiccup. Tell me. I'll find out anyways." I bellowed as I grabbed his hoodie. He stopped and let his head fall in shame. He sighed heavily, "Not here."
*Elsa*
"You planted this on me. Didn't you." I say looking at Kristoff almost menacingly. He shrugged and then pointed to my sister. "I wouldn't say planted more like it was a precaution." Anna said smiling and taking the phone away from me.
"Precaution from what?" I ask flailing my arms out. "In case you decide to talk to them."

I sigh defeated, I could never argue with my sister without it turning bad.
"So which one is it?" The redhead bellowed out. I had almost forgotten that the other two were there. "Y-you already want me to decide?!" I exclaim unintentionally stepping back bumping into a stranger. 
"Yeah already!" Anna says pulling me towards her and apologizing to the stranger. "Its so sudden..." I breathe out. "You should have made the decision sooner. You're leaving them waiting."
"Leaving them?" I question. "Elsa its already October the ninth. Don't you have to make up you're mind before you know..." Anna says looking at me weirdly. "What are you talking about?" I say starring blanking out. What did she mean...

But it all came back to me soon enough, she was right I have to decide before I leave. "Right, that thing..." I say looking down to my feet. I could feel all their stares on me, questioning what Anna and I meant. "I can't decide that fast."

Anna was quiet for a long time probably deciding what to say. "Well, let's talk about this at home."

As Anna and I walked over to our front door Anna spoke up. "You know, i don't even know why you leave."

I stay silent, I can't possibly tell her why I leave. Oh, yes dear sister I go so I can suppress my powers so I don't kill you like I did with our parents.
"Nevermind. I understand there are still some things you can't publicly say." I nod. The rest of the way to her room were silent.

I plopped myself on her bed and then she sat next to me. She sighed deeply and then faced me, her blue eyes borring into me.
"Elsa,I should have probably hurried you. But not until recently could I actually demand something of you. Please decide. They both care about you so deeply. What if by the time you come back. They are with other people. Elsa... Elsa. Are you listening to me?"

i sighed too, "What do you want me to say, Anna?" I look up at her defensively. She began fiddling with a random strand on her quilt. "I want you to say... Which one of them makes you the happiest."

I fidgeted at that word, my depressing thoughts clouding my mind. "I won't be gone that long... Just 3 months, and if they find someone else then..." I pause getting up, I couldn't talk well anymore.. "Elsa..."
"Please Anna no more of this..." I say my voice quivering. I walked to the door, but as I put my hand on the knob she spoke up. "You're scared aren't you?"

As I opened the door,I looked back at her, "Immensely."

She didn't follow me as I walked out of her room. Why can't I tell her. I can't, not yet. I'm scared of a relationship especially because how my first one ended. I know Jack and Hiccup are not anything like Pitch yet... I take a deep breathe and walk into my room as I finally let my inner coldness out.

When I opened the door I found an animated snowman flipping through a book enthusiastically.

He instantly looked up and giggled as he got up and sloshed his way towards me. "Hey, Elsa." He said.

I giggled as I looked at him, "Hello Olaf." I kneeled next to him retrieving the book he was handing to me. "What is this, Olaf."
"These, this. Those. That." He said pointing at the book in various places. "This season only?"
"Yes, this season." He said his eyes almost glowing. "Its summer." I simply say smiling. And like always when I spoke of summer his eyes filled with excitement and his eyes glazed over as he began spacing out.

I giggled again and patted his head before going to my bed and opening my laptop.

I had some social medias I checked on every now and then, but I was never active. I only ever saw what people were doing. At first I did this as a way of observing these normal teenagers. But I was easily captivated by a life I thought I'd never have.

Yeah a life I thought I'd never have... But I do. I now have a life like this... Because of Jack? Yes because of him.

No that doesn't sound completely right... The one who talked to me first was...Hiccup.

I laid down on my bed at this realization. "Hiccup was the one...Was the first one to treat me like an actual human being... It was always him that was there for me."

Wasn't it?

Yeah, it was always him...

*Anna*
Saturday; Fifth week of school
"Elsa?" I bellow out, knocking on her door. No response.
"Are you mad at me?" I asked. Still nothing. I sighed and headed got down stairs. "That's weird... Wait don't tell me."

I stopped mid track and realized what was actually happening.
"ELSA. ELSA. ELSA! OPEN UP!"I scream. No no. Its too early! I didn't even get to say good bye.
"Elsa!" I say finally slamming the door open.

I was instantly met with a cold chill, even some snow scattered around her room. No...

I slowly walked to her bed, and found a note.
"I'm sorry Anna. I had to leave unexpectedly for my... training due to urgency. You're right. I'm scared, have I really known them long enough. I can't do this to Hiccup and especially not to Jack.I'm sorry I couldn't tell this to you, but, I have actually decided. I'll tell you when I come back. You'll be the first one I tell."

I clutched the note to my chest breathing out warm air into the coldness.
"Oh Elsa..."
