Three weeks had past and Jack was keeping up with the mob. But sometimes it was getting a bit hard and tiring for him. He had to rehearse with the Pirates and then with the Mob, and he also had to keep up with school.

Sometimes he felt guilty because he told his sister and mother that he would stop dancing and focus on school. He haven’t spoken with his mother in almost three months now. He didn’t know if he had forgiven her or not.

He had picked up some moves from the mob and showed them to Kristoff. Kristoff was really impressed and wanted him to teach the Pirates. Andrea and some pirates had asked Jack where he had learned those moves but he didn’t tell them; he just told them it was a secret. The Pirates had let it be except for Andrea. She’s been getting curious about Jack's attitude. Jack sometimes skipped their rehearsal and sometimes she doesn't see him in class. She was planning to ask Kristoff but Kristoff always been occupied with other things.

“Hey Kristoff,” called Andrea the other day. She came to him and gave him a small smile.

Kristoff closed his locker and raised an eyebrow. “What’s up?”

“Have you seen Jack?”

Kristoff shrugged and leaned against the locker. “I don’t know, he must be running late. We’ll see him in class.”

“Have you notice anything weird about him?” Andrea crossed her arms.

Kristoff looked taken aback by the sudden question. “What do you mean?”

“I haven’t seen him around much. He sometimes isn’t in his classes and he sometimes doesn’t show up in rehearsals.”

“Well he must be at home,” shrugged Kristoff, trying to cover up for Jack. The bell began to ring and Kristoff almost sighed in relief. “There goes the bell! Come on, let’s go.”

Jack entered the school's hall and began to run; he then bumped into Elsa who just came out of the girls’ room.

“Whoa, slow down!” said Elsa, almost dropping her things.

“Sorry,” apologized Jack. “I slept in.”

“You’re not the only one,” muttered Elsa as she pushed her glasses up to her eyes.

“Has the bell rung?”

“About two minutes ago.”

“Crap, I have to get to class!” He went passed Elsa and went the other way.

Elsa shook her head. She turned around and went to her English class, which possibly would be where Jack was going. Just wait till he figures out that he went the wrong way.

Mrs. Daniel came through the doorway. “Good morning class!”

The door burst open and in came Jack.

“You’re late, Mr Frost!”

“Sorry I lost my way,” said Jack, taking in breaths.

“Just sit down.”

Jack sat down next to Kristoff. He looked to his left and sent a glare to Elsa who was trying not laugh.

During lunch Jack was sitting with Kristoff and Andrea in the cafeteria.

“So why were you late in class?” asked Andrea.

“Like I said, I lost my way in the hall,” said Jack. He ate his muffin and glanced at Kristoff who was doing some signs with his hands but Jack couldn’t make out what he was trying to tell him.

“And do you mind explaining why you skipped class last week and you didn’t show up during our rehearsal three days ago?”

“Um...well I have to take care of some things.”

“And what is that?”

Jack glanced at the six teenagers that were sitting five tables away from them. Andrea followed his gaze.

Jack sighed. “Please don’t get offended if I tell you it’s none of your business.” 

Andrea sighed. “I’m sorry but it’s just that…are you seeing someone?”

Kristoff nearly spit out his drink but managed to swallow it.

Jack just stared at her with astonished look. “What?”

“Well you’re always hanging out with that Elsa girl and I was wondering…”

“No, no you got it all wrong,” said Jack looking flustered. “We’re just friends.”

“Really?” said Andrea, not believing him. “And why do you keep sending her these weird glances during English class?”

Jack let out a frustrated groan. “What’s with all these questions, Andrea? For once, can you leave me alone?”

Some people were now looking at them. Jack looked at Kristoff who gave him a disappointed look. “What?” He looked at Andrea who had a sad face on. “I’m sorry.”

Andrea shook her head. “No I’m sorry, it’s your life and I shouldn’t interfere.”

There was an awkward silence between. “So!” said Kristoff when he couldn’t deal with the tension. “We’re all going to the beach tomorrow; there’s going to be a party.”

“Yeah, it’ll be fun,” said Jack, nodding his head.

“I guess I could come, some of my friends will be there,” said Andrea.

Punzel turned and looked at her friends. “What was that about?”

“Who knows?” said Merida with a shrug.

“Who’s this Andrea girl again?” asked Anna.

“I don’t know much about her,” said Elsa. “She transferred here a week before Jack.”

“For what I’ve seen I can tell that she’s annoying him,” said Flynn.

“Yeah,” said Hiccup.

“She’s kind of hot though.”

“Wow, that’s the first time I heard you say something like that,” said Punzel, looking at Flynn with a raised eyebrow.

“Because she is,” said Flynn with a smirk.

“Anyway, are you guys going to the beach party tomorrow?” asked Anna.

“Yeah I’ll be there,” said Merida. The three also nodded.

“Elsa?”

Elsa shook her head. “My dad wants to meet up with me.”

“What for?” asked Hiccup. 

“Probably to talk about the company,” said Elsa with a frown.

“Fine but if it ends early,” said Anna, “come to the party, okay?”

“Fine,” said Elsa.

“Also I’ve already decide where the next mob is gonna be,” said Flynn.

“Where?” asked Punzel.

“It’s going to be at the Sundown restaurant.”

“Cool, I’ve always wanted to go there,” said Merida.

“And best of all, Jack and Elsa are leading,” said Anna.

“I still can’t seem to forget that you guys dragged me into these,” said Elsa as the others burst out laughing.
