Gaven Tails High: The Scatters

piano hands

Elsa POV:

A week had gone by since I've seen Jack. At first, I was a bit nervous especially on how he walked away from me; no emotion at all. All I thought about was the pictures and how there was ash on where his face used to be but mine, perfectly normal. Hiccup then told me that Jack was taking my advice on how we were better off not knowing each other here and I nodded. After that, I felt relieved. Toothless had stuck by my side through all of it, we became official and he was apart of the group now. Everyone, I mean the whole school, was shocked when Toothless and I walked in hand in hand. Toothless made smart comments in my ear while I just laughed at them, he would point everyone's faces out. According to Anna, he brought the best out of me but to me, he cracked my isolation shell. I didn't love him yet, I do like him, a lot but not to the point of that I love him. He made me happy alot, especially with his goofy laugh and nervousness.

"Elsie? You okay there?" He waved his hand in front of my face, "Yeah. Just thinking about you. Wait. What? Did I say that outloud?" Everyone nodded and I blushed really hard. Toothless chuckled nervously, I giggled. The whole group got quiet and looked up, I turned around me confused and saw Jack. Toothless and I groaned at the same time, Anna elbowed me and then slapped Toothless. We both looked at her while she mouthed stop it. He sat down in front of us, "Hey." He said.

"Hey? Hey, us? Oh, hey." Anna said, playing it cool and I laughed. She elbowed me again, "Would you stop it!" I screamed at her and we both started to bicker. I could hear Jack laughing and Toothless trying to calm me down, I pouted. "Keep pouting and your face would stay like that." Toothless said to me and I grumbled, pulling myself out of his grip.

"Elsa, you have company. Be nice." He said to me, motioning towards Jack. I rolled my eyes and smiled, "Hi."

"How've you been?" He asked, picking at his sandwich.

"Fine. You?"

"Okay."

"Cool, cool." The silence hung in the air, I looked at Toothless, pleading for him to say something. "So Jack, what classes do you take now?" Toothless asked.

"Well. I started taking art and transferred to Pre-Calc. It's pretty stressful but meh. I'll survive."

"You draw?"

"Nah. I just needed to take an elective. I didn't want to take music anymore so the last option was cooking or art. I chose art." I began to pick at my skin when he said he didn't want to take music anymore. "Uh. Well, I have to go to the bathroom and the lunch period is almost over so I'll see you guys later." I gave Toothless a kiss and jumped up.

"Elsa, we have 30 minutes left." Anna spoke up and I glared at her. I walked away, leaving the group behind. I took a breathe of relief and made my way into the bathroom. I walked around the school aimlessly, looking for something to keep me pre-occupied till the lunch period end. I found the music room and looked inside, it was empty. I shrugged and sat by the piano. I began to play chords before I started to sing:

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight

Not a footprint to be seen

A kingdom of isolation and it looks like I'm the

Queen

The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside

Couldn't keep it in

Heaven knows I've tried

Don't let them in

Don't let them see

Be the good girl you always have to be

Conceal

Don't feel

Don't let them know

Well now they know

"You have a beautiful voice." Toothless said, walking into the music room. I jumped but looked at him, smiling. "I've been told that." I scooted over on the bench, motioning for Toothless to sit next to me. He rubbed my back, motioning for me to put my head on his shoulder and I did so, "I know it's hard to see a friend that betrayed you after a long time but I'll be here. Okay?" I nodded into his shoulder then stopped, "How do you know?"

"Hiccup was that friend once to me...That's why we get quiet around each other but I put up with the pain because of you." He said, quietly. I looked up at Toothless, "Oh my gosh Toothless. I'm so sorry." I said, panicking and he just kissed me. "No need to worry Elsie," I blushed, "Finishing singing your song please?" I giggled and began to sing the song again, he whisked away my hand from the keyboard and started playing in synch with the song. I looked at him, "I didn't know you had a piano hand."

"You're actually the only one." He gave me a kiss on my cheek, "How about we finish our classes and go out around town?" I nodded and got up from the bench. He followed after and wrapped his arms around me, I giggled and he started imdating my voice.

"Don't do that! My ears!" I said to him, laughing and he continued, "Toothless! Stick to the piano!"

"Argh, you're no fun."

"Psh, I'm the queen of fun."

"So I'm allowed to do this." He pook him up from the floor, "Toothless! Put me down!"

"See, no fun." I rolled my eyes at him, "I have to go to class!"

"Fine!" He said, throwing his hands up in the air. I giggled, "I'll see you later." We gave each

other a kiss and parted. I giggled and watched as he walked away. I turned to go to my next class and saw Jack in front of me, "Shit, Jack!" I said, stepping back. He just laughed, "Elsa's terrified. Why'd you run away so fast at lunch?"

"I needed alone time. What's it to you?" I said, pushing him out the way and started to walk.

"Just wanted to know why you were acting weird." He walked with me and I rolled my eyes, "Jack, what do you want?"

"Forgiveness."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Aw, come on. Why not?"

"Because I said-" He cut me off with a kiss. I stood there awkwardly and fell into it but pushed him away once I realized what I was doing, "What the hell Jack?"

"You liked it."

"Jack! Leave me alone!"

"You know you-."

"Jack! We are not kids anymore! You made me grow up faster than I had too! I learned at the age of 11 that everything is not forever! That the ones you love will break your heart faster than a pen dropping to the floor! You were supposed to be my best friend and it seems like you grew up with a new one. You want to know what I grew up with? Nothing! Nothing at all! How about you do me a favor and STAY OUT OF MY WAY." I screamed and his face dropped. I then realized I was screaming at him, I frowned.

"You don't scream." He whispered, getting ready to walk away. I rolled my eyes and kissed him even though I was fighting the urge. He pulled me closer and we stayed like that until we ran out of breath. We pulled away from each other and Jack was smiling, he was starting to say something when I turned and ran away. What did I just do? Was it Jack all along?
