Rivals (A Jelsa Story)

Chapter 37 - Acceptance

A/N: Here's some more fluffy Hiccstrid art because why not. Credits go to Johanna The Mad.

This chapter is pretty short, I've been dealing with writer's block on this story.

Elsa's POV

"Hey, Else, check it out!" Merida waved to me as I walked into Coach Parr's classroom.

I smiled and made my way over to her table. "What's up?"

She pointed to her computer screen. "I got accepted into Pixar University!"

"Ohmygosh congratulations!" I hugged her. " I'm so proud of you!"

"Thanks babe!" She squeezed me and then let go. "I'm so excited!"

"Pixar, nice!" Coach Parr said, walking past our table. "You know, I went there. That's where my husband and I met."

Merida laughed. "Yeah, I think I heard about it after I started coming here. There are a lot of teachers here who went to Pixar."

"Yeah, I think so." Coach Parr headed to the door. "Alright, I'm gonna go to the office real quick, I'll be back in a few minutes hopefully. Don't burn the classroom down while I'm gone."

I giggled. "We'll try."

The door closed and Merida stretched and slid down in her chair. "What are the odds that we got a free period at the same time as our favorite teacher?"

"Yeah, we're lucky." I leaned back and closed my eyes.

"So..." I heard Merida say. "Have you talked to Jack at all?"

"A bit."

"A bit?" She poked me in the arm. "What does that mean?"

I opened one eye and looked at her. "It means we've talked a bit."

She rolled her eyes. "Wow, thank you, such clarification."

"I don't know, we talk."

"But you guys still like each other, right?"

I opened my eyes and sat up. "He's got some stuff he said he wants to deal with before he dates anyone again. It's not just me."

"You're not answering my question."

"I know." I stood, patted her on the head, and left to go refill my water bottle.

My phone rang as soon as I got up to my room that day. I pulled it out of my pocket to see an incoming call from Jack. Smiling, I answered it. "Hey, what's up?"

"GUESS WHAT!"

"Woah." I chuckled and held the phone away from my ear. "Someone's excited."

"I AM!"

"Yay! What happened?"

"I GOT ACCEPTED INTO MY DREAM SCHOOL!"

"OH YAY!" I squealed and jumped up and down. "I'm so happy for you!"

"Thank you! And I got a full-ride hockey scholarship too!"

"Oh congratulations! I'm so proud of you."

"Thanks! So, what do you say we go out and celebrate this weekend?"

"Oh, I'd love to," I replied.

"Awesome! Does Saturday around 1 work? I can come pick you up."

"Sure, sounds great!"

"Yay! So, how was your day?"

I giggled and flopped onto my bed. "Good. In my free period Merida told me..."

Jack's POV

I got off the phone with Elsa grinning like an idiot. She'd just agreed to hang out with me. Alone. Well, I'd never specified we'd be alone, but that's what I intended. And she'd said yes.

I felt all bubbly inside.

"Jack!" My mom called from downstairs. "Your sister's on the phone!"

I threw my phone on my bed and ran down the stairs.
