"Hello anyone here?" The nurse voice calls out.
Jack and I loosened our grip on each other and the nurse's voice echoed.
Jack cursed under his breath. If anyone finds us like this we will both be in trouble.

"Me!" I quickly exclaimed, running past the curtains before Jack could say anything.

Jack was now probably stuck behind the curtain, he wouldn't leave that place. I'm sorry Jack.
I shook my head and went to stand infront of the nurse, "I'll go to class now." I said trying to control my voice.

"Yeah. Hurry you missed quite the few classes already." The nurse said fixing her glasses on the rim of her nose. For some reason she looked skeptical of me. Right she should be.
I just nodded and headed towards the hallway. Class was going on so no one was in the halls. I let out a long sigh before continuing towards my class.

I was doing such weird things in the nurse office. I suddenly felt very embarrassed and even though i was alone i covered my face. How did things end up like this. He seemed normal but there was something off. There seems something off with all my friends. What has happened?
"Let go!" I suddenly hear and stop mid track. Is that Merida? Is something the matter...

"I'm serious! "Her voice threatened. What's happening. I began jogging towards the noise. What's happening?

As I was about to turn the corner when another voice rang out.
"What are you doing?" I instantly recognized the voice. I heard a sigh... I uneasily turned the corner.

There in front of me was Flynn and Merida. They were both looking the other way. What just happened here? ..."Guys?" My voice rang out in the silence.

They both turned to me surprised. "Elsa..." Merida breathed out before giving me a pained look and running off. "M-Merida?!"

I stuttered out trying to run after her but Flynn grabbed my arm. "Let her. It's for the best."
I bite my lip and looked up at him. "What happened?" He looked away. "El-"

"Flynn please tell me, don't sugar coat anything." I plead forcibly grabbing his hand making him look at me.

He looked from his hand to me and smiled. He sighed giving me a somber look. "Let's talk about it, after school, okay? Here." He scribbled an address on my hand before walking away "Meet me up there, okay?" He called out after taking a few steps away from me, smiling before running off

He sure has... changed.
I looked at my hand once he was out of sight. Huh, I've never heard of this place before. Im surprised I can read his handwriting its so messy. Well, whatever. Time to go to class.

... The rest of the school day ended uneventful. Jack and Hiccup were absent from class.
That should have worried me... but if they were not going to tell me the truth, why bother. Or is it that they can't tell me what's happening. Well, for now there was no point in talking to them.
...

"Elsa, lets hang out after school!" Rapunzel said appearing from nowhere. Woah. "What are you doing? School already ended." Anna piped up. "Huh oh sorry... was lost in thought." I chuckle half heartedly. They exchanged looks of worry but continued anyways. "We were thinking about going to the mall want to come?"

"Today?" I asked picking my bag up from the floor. "Yeah, wanna?" They both said in unison.

"Ah, sorry girls. I have to decline for today. I already have plans."
"Its fine, but at least let us walk you off campus... unless you are meeting them before that." Anna giggled. I smiled at my sister and shook my head, "No, lets walk at least that far." I say as we begin walking out my class.

Once we were outside Anna got sidetracked with a friend, leaving Punzel and I a few steps behind her.
"So Punzel, about your secret admirer." I say starting up a conversation. She looked surprised and giggled awkwardly. "I don't know." She said tucking a hair behind her ear. A tell tell for her nervousness. "You never found out who it was?"
"No I wasn't allowed to." She muttered. What?

She looked at me as if she had just slapped me across the face on accident. "Haha, I mean I wasn't interested... Anyways, are you glad to be back in Arendelle?"
I didn't try to press the previous conversation I knew better not to, I knew Flynn would tell me anyways.
"Its colder than I remember."
....
Why couldn't Flynn and I just meet up after school? This is so much more complicated. Why is this cafe in the middle of a forest.

Ah wait is it that? Frozen? Cute.
I untangled myself from the branches and marched towards the hut.
I entered and was surprised to see Kristoff working there. Well, then. I could have just asked him for directions.

"Didn't know you worked." I said going up to the counter, greeting him with a smile. He was surprised for a moment before nonchalantly replying. "Got to do what you got to do to earn a living." He smiled. "Yeah, you're a good guy. Why can't Anna just like you." I sighed

"Elsa.!" Flynn called out , making me turn around. "Well see you Kristoff." I said turning to him one last time seeing him blush. He likes Anna, huh?
I chuckled to myself before going up to Flynn.

I sat down and breathed out. "So, why are you being so secretive?" Instead of answering me, he pushed a drink towards me."Thanks." I said taking a small taste test. Oh, it's good.
"I'm sorry. It was just easier this way. So many things have happened, you have no idea." He said taking a sip of his coffee.
I prompted him, "Like what?"
He smiled, "Straight to the point aren't you."

"Flynn." I warned. "Right, Right. But where to begin. I guess I can start with why your friends are acting weird." He paused before repositioning himself closer to me as if what he was about to tell me was the biggest secret. "Elsa, three months have passed. Some sketchy shit has been happening. You can't trust anyone."

"If i can't trust anyone... then how do I know I can trust you?" I questioned.

"Well, the reason I called you out here today, away from everyone is to tell you that there is someone out to get you. I don't know who or why. But, you have to trust me that I won't steer you wrong. This said person doesn't know we're friends. Im not telling you your friends are bad people. No they are just being manipulated."

Someone out to get me... This sounds dangerous.

"Flynn, why are you willing to help me. What's in it for you?"
"Its just because you're my... friend." He said blushing awkwardly. "Huh..." I asked stifling a laugh.
"Shut up, Elsa we're friends deal with it." He said leaning back, crossing his arms. I couldn't help but laugh. "Okay fine. I'll trust you."

If I can't trust anyone... ill just stick with Flynn for right now.
I mean I need at least one friend away from my drama.
