Rivals (A Jelsa Story)

Chapter 13 - The Queen Has Fallen

A/N: The song Anna and Elsa sing in this chapter is "Teir Abhaile Riu" by Celtic Woman (video is linked).

Elsa's POV

I didn't really want to go back to school on Wednesday, but I absolutely wasn't going to admit defeat to that jerk. I was a decently good actress; I'd just go there with my head held high and pretend nothing was wrong. I could do that, probably.

I got dressed in a loose dark blue shirt and some faux leather pants. After tying my hair into a messy braid, I went to my jewelry box and pulled out some pieces I thought would look nice with my outfit. Then I pulled on black lace-up boots, grabbed my sunglasses, and went downstairs.

Anna smiled at me once we'd gotten into the car. "I know what'll make you feel better."

I gave her a sideways look. "Yeah?"

"Yeah." She plugged her phone into the speakers. Pretty soon I heard the sound of a fiddle playing a very familiar tune, and I couldn't help but smile. She and I sang along as we drove down the street.

"Come now and follow me down
Down to the lights of Galway where
There's fine sailors walking the town
And waiting to meet the ladies there
Watch now he'll soon be along
He's finer than any sailor so
Come on now pick up your spoons
He's waiting to hear you play them
WHOOO!"

We got to school and pulled into the parking lot. Just as I was getting out, I saw Hans walking across the lot and slammed the car door. Anna gave me a worried look. "You okay?"

"Hans is outside," I muttered.

Anna made a face. "Ugh, gross. But you can't let him win. Come on, let's go together."

I reluctantly got out of the car and followed Anna across the lot. As we got nearer to the door, I made sure I was standing straight and walking confidently. When we were almost there I heard my name and turned around to see Merida coming toward us. She was wearing black joggers and a forest green tank top, and her hair was up in a high ponytail.

"Hey," I said, smiling.

She linked her arm through mine. "I saw him too. Come on, let's put on a united front. Maybe we'll run into Zel on the way in and it'll be all four of us."

Anna laughed as we walked into the school building. Down the hall we saw Hiccup and Astrid. I waved to them with my free arm. They smiled and waved back. Astrid was wearing a white cropped T-shirt, brown leggings, and black jean shorts, and her hair was in a low bun. Hiccup wore a simple brown T-shirt and black jeans.

"Hey, what's on the agenda for today?" Hiccup asked as we got closer.

"Lots of club meetings in the morning," Anna replied. "But this afternoon are the wrestling matches and also the track meet."

"And I'll be running, so I hope to see you all in the stands supporting me."

I jumped about a foot in the air and turned around to glare at Hans. "Yeah, no thanks."

"We're going, but we're going to watch Hercules," Merida said. "So just remember that when you see us in the stands and start getting a big head."

"Well, I look forward to seeing you regardless." Hans winked at me as he walked away. Anna mimed puking.

I decided I didn't want to go anymore. Hercules would understand.

"He seems fun," Astrid said dryly.

"Oh, tell me about it." I rolled my eyes.

"If you don't mind me asking, what's going on with you guys?" Hiccup asked. "Like, did you used to date? Or does he just like you or something?"

"Actually, Hans and I used to date," Anna replied. "But then I learned he was only dating me to get to Elsa, so I broke it off."

"And he's been after me ever since," I concluded.

"Oh, wow." Astrid scrunched up her nose. "That's not fun."

"Yeah, it's really not," Anna said.

"Hey, there you are!" Rapunzel said, walking up to us. "Sorry Astrid and Hiccup, but I have to steal these guys away. The debutantes have a meeting in five minutes."

"Oh, right." Merida looked at her watch. "Well, we'll see you guys later!"

"See ya!" Astrid called as we walked away.

Jack's POV

"Did I just hear that Hans and Anna used to date?" I asked, walking over to Hiccup and Astrid.

Hiccup jumped. "Jeez, Jack! You scared me!"

I smiled apologetically. "Sorry."

"Yeah, that's what they said," Astrid told me. "Seems pretty messed up to me."

"That guy is a total creep," I muttered.

"Reminds me of Pitch," Hic said.

I groaned. "Please, don't remind me!"

"He's not still stalking Tooth, is he?" Astrid asked, giving me a worried look.

"Not from what I know. But he better not be."

Just as I finished my sentence I saw Tooth at the other end of the hall. She waved at us and started walking over. "Let's not talk about this in front of her," I murmured to them.

Astrid nodded. "Yeah, good idea."

"Hey!" Tooth said as she approached. "What are you guys talking about?"

"Um, Hans," Hiccup said. "We just found out he and Anna used to date."

"And he's making a move on Elsa now?" Tooth made a face. "That's uncomfy."

"Yeah," I agreed. "They seem to think so too."

"Well, maybe we shouldn't keep talking about their business when they're not here," Hiccup said. "I think the clubs are setting up in the gym, let's go look at what's there."

"Yeah, sure!" Tooth said. She grabbed my wrist. "You're coming with us whether you like it or not."

I sighed dramatically and let her drag me after them.

A/N: Hey everyone, thanks for your patience with the slow updating. Last week I was dealing with a very minor medical issue (everything's fine now) and I had writer's block and then this week has been very busy, so I wasn't able to write as much or as often as I had been. Hopefully that will pick up again because I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing for the next couple of chapters.

Hope you enjoyed! Please vote and follow if you want to read more of my work. 

Lots of love,

Livi
