Is It True? (Kristanna) EDITING

Chapter 5

Today was just the absolute worst.

It's been a whole week since the whole frozen bedroom incident and Elsa hasn't spoken to me! You'd think it would be difficult to not speak a single word to your roommate, but she has somehow managed to make it seem super easy! I've tried to talk to her, but all I get is cold silence. I don't get how this silent treatment of her's is going to help anyone here. If she wants me to stop dating Hans, give me a valid reason and bam! I'll believe you! But you can't just say that you don't want me to date him. I've been dreaming of dating Hans for forever now, and I sure ain't giving this up for nothing.

"Anna? Honey, are you okay?" The smooth and worried voice of my boyfriend snaps me out of my thoughts and brings me back to the present. "You seem kinda out of it today..." He slows his walking pace until we're standing still in the hallway together.

"I... I'm just thinking. That's all." I say, avoiding having to lie about being fine. Because if there's one thing I'm not, that's fine. I'm the exact opposite of fine! I haven't slept much, haven't spoken to my best friend in ages, and I'm way too stressed out about who to trust in my relationship!

There's Elsa- my best friend in the whole world, my roommate, magical ice wizard, and practically my sister. She'd be the perfect person to place my trust in if she gave me some reason!

Or I could trust Hans- my boyfriend, the most popular guy on the campus, and everyone adores him. Since I'm in a relationship with him I should probably exercise some trust in him before anyone else.

And then there's me- a dork, nerd, impulsive, ditzy, crazy- you know, let's just not trust my instincts in this matter. Sure this might be my relationship, but if I've learned one thing from my years in high school, it was to never... never, ever, go with your gut. You were most likely going to be very wrong.

"Are you sure? You haven't been acting normal for a while now..." Hans casually leans against the wall behind him, giving me a slightly concerned expression.

"I'm... I'll be fine." I say while looking him in the eyes, making sure to get my point across. "Don't worry about me, you've got more important things that you should have your mind on. Like the big game coming up." I desperately try to change the subject and Hans immediately begins to talk all about how they were going to crush the other team and all sorts of other football player things.

We begin to walk again, heading towards my class side by side. Hans still rambling on about all sorts of football things I could never understand, but that doesn't really matter. All that matters is that I love him and he loves me. I don't have to love football in order to love him and he doesn't have to love video games and music in order to love me.

Wait... now that I think about it... has he ever asked me what I like to do? I don't want to sound needy... but I feel all that we ever do is talk about him. It doesn't bother me, I could listen to him talk for the rest of my life and I'd never tire of hearing his beautiful voice. But... doesn't a relationship require two people knowing each other really well? Well, I guess we have to fix that.

"Anna!"

The call of my name brings me out of my la la land and freezes me in my place. I look to my side and notice that Hans isn't there... he seems to have stopped a while back in the hallway. I quickly walk back to him, trying to keep myself together.

"Were you listening to anything I said?" He looked down at me, scowling slightly. "Anything at all?"

I shamefully shook my head no, and let my gaze fall to the floor. "I'm sorry." Gosh, I truly felt horrible now.

"It's whatever." He paused for a second and I don't know what he was doing, but he soon continued on. "Well, I guess you better head into class. See ya." His voice was laced with... something similar to... anger?

"Bye..." I muttered as he walked away. "You're such an idiot Anna." I mentally slapped myself, trying to get a grip on reality for more than a few minutes.

I really hope things start getting better really soon.
