Fix the Broken (Jelsa)

Chapter Sixteen

Many of us strive to find the purpose of life here in this cruel world, but it does not mean that we should waste every moment in despair or from temporal happiness that others seek from substanence and no good beverages. Every moment, every day, every year is something one must treasure, despite that it is not a happy environment or lack of affection one receive. Maybe I have no say in the matter as to how one live their lives, but I notice that I must make the best of every  memory and the people that surround me. My biological parents may not have given me the best of everything, but I still hold memories of them in my heart, even though they are so painful and scarring. Now that I am attending school like a normal girl, I have the chance to connect with various people contrary to my indifference and lack of confidence. I want to improve my relationship with my family, the family that is with me.

One of them blowing my ear off in the car with her loud voice...

"Elsa! Are you even listening to me!?"

I sigh knowing that my thoughts have clouded over Anna's voice as I drive us to school. After the talk yesterday with Father, I decided to take my chance in not only befriending Jack but other students as well. Anna recommended that I sit with her and her new friends during lunch hour, so that I may befriend them and experience what it is like to interact with other people.

"Anna, I hear you. I will assure you that I will be there at lunch hour, and to keep out for unwanted attention," I said. Really, I hope that school would not be a hassle after I get out of the car. I enter the new parking lot and see other students coming in and others being dropped off by their limos with their men in waiting.

" 'Kay, just makin' sure you get the drift. Seriously, I just hope the rumors won't go bombing out. Not that anymore bombings will happen! I mean ' cuz they have made sure that none of those would happen. Anyway, who would bomb this school in the first place? And.."

Anna was rambling off so I grab my school bag and get out the car to shut the door. I straighten my skirt and jeweled bow and hair before heading towards the school building for my first lesson. I hear Anna getting out of the car with a "Hey!" and she quickly runs to my side and shoulders me.

"The heck! Why did you shut the door on me again?" Anna said with a pout.

"Because maybe you talk too much that we may end up being late to class?"

"Pshh please. I do not talk that much, and you know that it is part of my charm. I can keep any conversation going-"

As I open the front glass door and pass the monitors, Anna was still rambling that she bumps into someone. Both fall onto the white carpet floor with Anna under the stranger. I widen my eyes as I see that the stranger that landed on top of Anna is a boy! Time stands still as Anna and the new boy look at each other's eyes and I being stuck to where I am standing. No sound escapes from all of us, until Anna made the first move.

"Ah! Get the heck off of me, you pervert!" Anna screams out as she punches the boy off of her. The boy is suddenly off of her and slams against one of the black marble columns. He yelps in pain as he tries to get up, while rubbing his back and now bruised face. Anna gets up and pats herself down before going over to the boy with purpose in besting him up. She hoists him close to her by the collar of his blazer and stares at him with fire in her eyes.

"Tell me one reason why I should not report you for sexual harrasment," Anna said.

"What the hell! We bumped into each other and fell down. How was that anything sexual?!" the boy exclaims in my sister's place, no a good idea.

"Oh, so you happen to fall on me by chance and started to feel my stomach with those hands huh?! I know that we bumped into each other, but how should I believe whether that was on purpose or not?"

"You're nuts chick! I did nothing wrong, ask that white chick behind you!" the boy exclaims as he swats Anna's hand from his uniform and pats himself down. White chick? I look around to see who is behind Anna that is pale in complexion, but we were the only ones here while other students were at the end of the hall entering their classes. He could not be talking about me right?!

"Hey! Elsa! He was harassing me right?!" Anna yells out as she points towards the boy.

"Um..."

"No, she was the one who bumped into me!" the boy interrupted.

"Lie! You did it!"

They continue to argue back and forth that I did not get a chance to actually voice my opinion. I grow nervous as this is overwhelming that my sister is arguing with a stranger, and I clutch my schoolbag. Their argument reminds me of my biological parents fighting for the smallest things...

No! I slap my cheeks and take a deep breath as I head towards them. I get in between them before grabbing both of their rights ears and tug them.

"Ow!" both yelped in pain. They cradle their ears as I cross my arms and stare between the two of them.

"Stop this nonsense this instance!" I yell and point to Anna, " you, both of you bumped into each other and the gravity of the situation made this boy fall on top of you by accicent," I turn to look at the boy, " and you, be aware of what is happen around you as you walk unless you want to be in this situation again."

Both cower before me with wide eyes.

"Am I understood?" I said. Both nod in silence, and I take a deep breath. I then smile at both of them and take Anna's hand before bowing my head.

"I sincerely apologize for my sister's recklessness, but you are also at fault," I apologize to him. The boy just nods as he cradles his bruised cheek, and Anna just scoffs at him and he "hmphs" at her.

I drag Anna away from the boy and we go on our separate ways. As we pass the corner, Anna just starts rambling again.

"Oh my God! Elsa you were so bad back there, and you don't usually raise your voice! Man, do I not want to be on your bad side-"

"Anna, you were on my bad side," I reminded her.

"Oh yeah," Anna giggles as she scratches the back of her neck.

"Please do be careful of what is happening around you, unless you want to have medical bills being sent to us," I sigh as we quickly run in the hallway and pass by late students like us.

"Hey, it wasn-"

"Anna..." I dragged out. She bows her head in shame.

"Yes, sis," she said. I smile and reach out to ruffle her braided hair, and of course she complains. Of course, we were running and talking that I was not paying attention.

I too bumped into someone in the hall, and that person smells of peppermint.

RING!

Anna will give me an ear off at lunch hour, but now I have to explain to my math teacher as to why I am late.

Jack Frost bumped into me, and I am unusually happy that I got to see him now. May the Lord help me with this deja vu.
