Trickery and Ice

The Day It Rained

[SATURDAY by FALL OUT BOY]

Shit it’s Saturday. I rushed to the bathroom and went for a shower. To be honest, I don’t want to go to school and meet my Health classmates since a) they don’t take interest on it and b) Jack Frost is there to annoy the shit out of me. I mean, does he never get sick of it. I guess he doesn’t because if he did I would probably be dead by that time.

After a good ten minutes of scrubbing and cleaning my skinny body, I rummaged the closet to find some clothes. However, my phone keeps buzzing like a bee and it’s quite annoying so I checked it first before picking out an outfit.

I unlocked it and saw a message from an unknown number.

It said:

HEEEYY couziee! Meh and Meridz r comin’ 2 u todayeeee so u get yo’ self stoned!1!1!

Nah I’m joking but seriously though we are coming and you better get ready doll ;)

[P.S it took me forever to type that shit...]

Rapunzel. She never fails to disappoint me. I called Anna and said that our cousin and her friend are coming. Anna, being Anna, squealed so loud I thought my ears are going to bleed.

“Shut up Anna” I grunted. She just laughed and left my room with a big grin plastered on her face.

As soon as she left, I returned my attention back to my closet and after a few minutes, I finally pulled some sweatpants, a grey hoodie, my old faded converse and a snapback.

I immediately wore them and looked at the mirror. I am quite satisfied with my look but then I realized that something is missing. I scanned the room and saw my old nerdy glasses and le trusty rubber band. I smiled and put them on.

I also grabbed some other things before going to school. I left a note though. But I don’t think Dad and Mom would mind. Especially if it’s about studies and being the successful doctor they are today.

It took me like twenty minutes to arrive at school. It wasn’t that far but because buses are not really the fastest way of transportation, it took me a bit longer than expected.

The moment I stepped my foot on the hallway, a janitor appeared form a far corner. When he noticed I was there, he squinted his eyes on me as if I can’t be seen from a far. I shrugged it off and continued walking. It didn’t affect me because I already know that a lot of people don’t really have an idea of who I am. It’s not like I matter to this school anyway.

As I was about to turn to the Health classroom, the janitor asked me something. “What are you doing here?”

I turned around and smiled. “Oh I’m here for my project. We have a meeting here at school.”

The janitor shook his head in amusement and I gave him a puzzled look. However, he returned it with a grin.

“Love, nobody is coming.”

At first, I thought this was a joke and it is. It should be at least. I just gave him a laugh and entered the room to see no one. I gulped and sighed. Is he saying the truth?

I shook my head and sighed instead. They’re coming. They can. They should. They could. They would.

For the first thirty minutes, I still have faith on them but as time flies, I think I lost it all. It’s been deadly three hours and no one showed up. I sighed and looked at the window. Many water droplets came down falling from the sky. It looks so calm and cool. The way I always wanted the weather to be.

However, I still groaned and left the room. The janitor must have left yet he wrapped a note around the door handle of the main entrance.

It read:

I’m sorry but I already told you they wouldn’t come.

I crumpled the paper and tore it to shreds. I never have been so angry in all of life. Heck, I never felt so used. Sure, it’s not a big deal. They just stood me up. Why would I care about that? (NOTE SARCASM)

I found myself running at the parking lot to catch a bus but somebody called me. I turned around to see Jack Frost with an umbrella and his favorite hoddie.

“Let’s not get Summers wet.” He smirked from the far end of the parking lot where the motorcycles are parked. I gave him a sneer and continued on walking but of course, Jack didn’t stop annoying the shit out of me.

“You see you can just go here and share the umbrella with me.”

I didn’t turn around. I don’t want to hear his perverted jokes or his mean notes. I just want to go home and be alone like I always am. But then again, this is Jack Frost we are talking about. He doesn’t give up. He’s like a machine; producing different pranks and jokes every second. He is unstoppable.

I felt my cheeks get wet from tears and not from the rain. I also hear the quiet sobs I made. And that is when I realized that I’m crying.  For the second time in the week.

I sighed and still continued walking until he called me again.  I stopped for a moment and turned around. I plastered my most stern face but all I got is the weakest and the most hideous face I can make which made him look at me with a tinge of worry.

“Leave me alone please.”  I sobbed. He notices this and runs towards me. At first, I thought he’s going to make fun of me but he didn’t. Instead, he gave me his umbrella and smiled.

I looked at him. I was shocked. Surprised even. Jack Frost, helping me-her mortal enemy-on a rainy Saturday morning. However, I still managed to smile and thank him which left us with the rain’s constant dripping sound.

“Look Elsa, as much as I hate you which I really do, although, I can’t afford to see you like this because the Elsa I know is the bossy and stubborn girl in my Health class and now she’s just a weak girl I always want to annoy.”

I groaned. “I wouldn’t be like this if it wasn’t for this stupid meeting.”

“Okay, first of all, this project is due in like 10 months or so. That’s why no one showed up because we still have almost a year to do that. Second, how do you explain your outburst on Monday?”

My mouth was agape and I can’t think of any response. I can’t tell him that. It’s just not right. Especially if he’s my enemy. I think.

He sighed and glanced at both ways before looking straight on my icy blue eyes. “I want you to change Elsa. Just relax. Drink. Have some fun. You can keep the umbrella. I can go home; it’s just across the school.”

I smiled and turned around to see him running towards his house which is like what he said, across the school. I sighed and went home as well. It took me ages but when I arrived I already saw the two devils.

Rapunzel and Merida.
