Rivals (A Jelsa Story)

Chapter 14 - Twenty-One New Truths

Elsa's POV

Kristoff won his wrestling match. After it was over, Anna went racing down to go congratulate him. The rest of us took our time to give them a few minutes.

"Track meet is next?" Flynn asked as we walked down the stairs to the floor.

"Yeah," Merida replied.

"Great. Can't wait to watch Herc beat everyone yet again."

I heard some chuckles from the DreamWorks kids. "Do you guys know anyone on the track team?" I asked them.

"Bunny is," Tooth said, nudging him. "He's made first place at every competition three years in a row."

Bunny smiled mischievously.

"Wow, looks like you'll give Herc a run for his money," Merida said. "If you'll excuse my pun."

Rapunzel giggled. "Come on, let's go talk to Kristoff."

Jack's POV

We all went to hang out in the library until the race. Bunny had to leave early to meet up with the rest of the track team, leaving us to debate whether he would beat this guy Hercules or not. Although, none of us had ever seen the other person run before, so it was really a meaningless argument.

"Okay, well, we'd better get going," Astrid said finally. Everyone agreed and started to stand, except Elsa.

"Else? You coming?" Rapunzel asked.

Elsa looked uncomfortable. "Um..."

"Is this because of what Hans said this morning?" Merida asked. "If you don't want to go, that's fine."

"Ugh, what did Hans do this time?" Kristoff asked.

Anna rolled her eyes. "Made a big show about how he was running and he hoped to see us there cheering him on." She laid a hand on Elsa's shoulder. "You know we'll all be there for you, but we understand if you'd rather not go."

Elsa sighed. "Yeah, I don't want to give him any ideas. Tell Herc I said hi?"

"Of course," Anna replied. "We'll see you later."

They all started to walk out while I stood still, trying to decide what to do. Hic noticed I wasn't coming and gave me a questioning look.

"Jack?" Tooth asked.

"Um, I think I'll stay and hang out with Elsa," I said.

"Really?" she said. "You're not coming to watch Bunny run?"

"It's okay, Jack." Elsa looked at me. "I don't mind. I'll just go to the upstairs library or something."

"No, it's fine. I've been to all his other meets; he'll understand. I mean, he said I should try and get along with the Disney kids, didn't he?" I cracked a smile.

Tooth and Sandy exchanged a glance. "Alright, suit yourself," Sandy said, shrugging.

"Tell him I said congrats when he wins!" I called after them, earning me a playful glare from the Disney kids.

"Thanks for staying with me," Elsa said quietly.

I smiled at her. "Yeah, of course. So, I heard you guys have a smoothie bar in one of your cafeterias?"

She laughed. "Ah, so that's the reason you wanted to stay!" She stood and picked up her bag. "Yeah, come on, I'll show you."

Elsa's POV

Jack and I ordered our custom smoothies and sat down at one of the tables. "Let's play twenty-one questions," Jack said, smirking.
