Elsa
'Hey'
"Jack" I say into the phone.
'Just kidding, I'm not here. Leave a message after the beep' voicemail again.
"Hey it's the fourth time I tried calling you. I just want to talk about, thee other night. Please call back" I hang up the phone and lay on the bed. I'm going insane. I'm in my hotel room surrounded by wedding things and Kristoff proposed only two days ago.
I wish I stayed in New York and did another 10 years of college. I'm only 21! I don't want to get married! The wedding is in a month on March. They already have jobs in the companies and they're planning on upgrading the building. I get up from the bed and braid my hair. I put on my shoes, grab my purse and walk out of the five star hotel. I like hotels, but it's not home. My parents house isn't home either. That's one of my problems lately, I don't know where home is, but I miss it.
I walk down the streets not knowing where I'm heading. I continue walking and that's when I see it. The willow tree on the small hill. I walk over to it and stare at it in awe. It's grown so much since the last time. It's bark looks vintage and its branches are longer. I walk around it and notice the bench was still there. I smile.
So many good memories, yet they bring pain. I sigh to myself notice a ball near the bench. I walk over to it and pick it up. "I think it went here!" A boy shouts. A girl and boy come running towards my direction. They freeze when they notice me.
"Um, that's our ball" a girl says cautiously. I smile and toss it to her and she catches it.
"Thanks" the boy says. "Come on Lindsay!" He says stealing he ball from her and running down the hill.
"Ryan wait up!" She shouts running after him. She trips and falls on him. Both children go tumbling down the small hill.
"You alright?" I ask. They look at each other and begin laughing.
"We're okay!" The girl says. They continue laughing before getting into a mud fight. Kind of reminds me of when I was little. Me and my best friend used to do that all the time. My phone rings and I quickly answer.
"Hello?"
"Elsa" my mom says. "We're waiting at the hotel for you"
"Crap, I'll be right there"
"Oh and please go by the bakery on Pine street. They have some samples ready for us there"
"Got it" I hang up and sigh. I walk down to Pine street and walk into the bakery.
"Elsa!" A familiar girl says. "Welcome to Tias place" Tiana smiles.
"You got your own place?" I smile.
"Yep, working hard really pays off, just gotta remember to have some fun along the way" she reaches under the counter and takes out a box. "Got your cake samples"
"Thanks" I say as she hands me the box. "I need to go now but I'll make sure to come by later"
"Okay, congrats by the way" she says as I walk out the door. I force a small and close the door behind me. I wasn't looking where I was going and ended up bumping into a guy who was cleaning windows.
"I'm so sorry" he says.
"No it's my fault" I say fixing the box. I look up and instantly recognized the face. "Hans?"
"Elsa" he smiles. I look over at the window he was cleaning.
"You work at a bar?"
"Yeah. Long story short, I'm getting my life back together" I smile at him.
"That's good" he looks at the box and then back at me.
"Cake samples for the wedding?"
"How'd you know?"
"Jack told me about the proposal"
"You talked to Jack?"
"Yeah this morning actually" my eyes widened.
"This morning?"
"Yeah he came to say goodbye. He's going on a trip to Paris"
"What?"
"He says it's his last Job before he leaves the company for good"
"Did he tell you when he was leaving?"
"Tonight at 8" I look at my watch and its 6:13.
"Shit" I say and hand him the box and quickly search my bag for my phone.
"Uh"
"Sorry but can you hang on to these for a while?"
"Sure but-"
"No time to explain" I find my phone and quickly dial the number. I start heading towards the hotel but quickly go back. I kiss Hans on the cheek and smile. "You're doing great" I turn back around and run towards the hotel.

I barge in through the door scaring some people. "I want to go on the Paris trip" I say. My mom looks at me weirdly.
"Elsa that trip is for newbies, it's a learning trip-"
"I never went. I never got to learn about the world wide Dale travel packets"
"Yes you did, your father explained it to-"
"Can I just go? I mean I never learned the fun way"
"Fine you can go on next years trip now which flowers-"
"I want to go this year" she looks at the wedding planners then back at me.
"The-"
"Flight is at 8, which gives me two hours to get ready"
"Okay but-"
"One of the teachers let me in his class. They have an extra seat on the plane. I just called"
"Your wedding is coming up you need to-"
"Let Kristoff pick some of the things. Also, it's only for a week. I'll be back in time"
"No matter what I say you're still going aren't you?" I nod and she sighs. "Fine"
"Yes!" I jump up in the air. "No everybody get out" I say pushing everybody out of my room. "Out, out, out" I slam the door and quickly take out a suit case.

"goodbye, old people stuff" I say to the wedding supplies. I walk outside and get in a cab. I had to pay he guy extra to get me there on time but I arrived at the airport at 7:56. I quickly run in and spot the group.
Jack
"Welcome everybody, my name is Jack Frost. I'll be the one showing you about our world wide meetings and how they are arranged"
"I'm here!" I hear someone shout. I look over and see a familiar blonde running up to the group next to mine. She walks to the teacher and hands him something before joining the rest of the group. Elsa looks at me and smiles and I can't help myself but to stare. "Uh-I" I try to talk but the words won't come out. "The-"
I noticed the groups heading towards the gate and I quickly snap out of it. "Yes, let's go inside the airplane now" I say awkwardly. We begin to get on board and I'm one of the first ones on the plane. I see Elsa walk in and take a seat in the front. What is she doing here? I came on this dump trip to get away from her not to be stuck in the same plane with her for 16 hours.
