The Big Eight

Chapter 10

"I know your secret Elsa." Jack says, smirking. I gulp.

Earlier that morning

"So let me get this straight," I start, glancing at Rapunzel. "We're hosting a sleep over. With the boys?" Punzie squeals, clapping her hands together. "Yeah! Isn't it amazing?!" She says excitedly. "Sleeping in a room with four sweating guys? Delightful." I answer sarcastically.

"Ooo~ I knew you'd love it!" Anna squeals, hugging me. "I don' see yer problem. It's a wee lil sleepover." Merida says. "You're just agreeing to this because Hiccup's coming." I accuse. Merida just shrugs. "And that means Jack will be there." Anna teases, wiggling her eyebrows.

I roll my eyes. "And that's supposed to make me agree? Anna, I just became friends with him, I'm not going to immediately start dating him or something." I argue. "Well sorry no one wants to date you and your cold heart!" Anna snaps. My eyes widen and I pull my hands to myself.

"Els, I'm sorry. I really didn't mean that." Anna apologizes. I give her a small smile, shaking my head. "No, I went too far. I shouldn't have brought up Hans." I tell her. "Apology accepted?" She asks. "Apology accepted." I assure her.
❄️❄️❄️

"Welcome to our room!" Anna says, opening the door for the guys. "Just set your stuff over there." Rapunzel tells them, gesturing to the wall near the bathroom. As Eugene, Kristoff, and Hiccup greet their girlfriends, Jack flops onto my bed. I roll my eyes.

"Stop the make out sessions before I kick you all out." I groan, scrunching my nose. "You're just jealous." Anna teases. I roll my eyes. "In your dreams." I retort. "Let's just watch a movie." Kristoff suggests. "What should we watch?" Merida asks.

"Howl's Moving Castle!" Jack and I say at the same time.
❄️❄️❄️

"Let's play never have I ever!" Anna suggests. "Oh, yes!" I agree, scooting to the end of my bed. Everyone else moves to form a somewhat circle. "Okay, since some of us can't drink, we'll use our hands. First one to loose all ten wins, last one gets punished." Anna says. We all hold up our hands.

Jack bumps me with his shoulder. "You're going down, snowflake." He says. "In your dreams, Frost." I challenge. Jack quirks his eyebrow. "How'd you know?" He asks innocently. I shove him, rolling my eyes.

"Who's gonna start?" Eugene asks. "I will!" Rupunzel says cheerfully. "Never have I ever... failed a class." Merida, Kristoff, Eugene, and Jack all lose a finger. "Never have I ever... flown by any means." Kristoff says. Hiccup, Jack, Merida, and I loose one.

"Never have I ever... ignored someone for 14 years." Anna says, looking at me. I look down, dropping another finger. "Elsa?" Jack says quietly. "I'm okay." I whisper back. "Never have I ever... beaten someone in a sport." Hiccup says. Everyone but him drops a finger. "Poor Hiccup." Merida teases. Hiccup just pouts.

"Never have I ever... sang for no reason." Merida says. Anna, Kristoff, Rupunzel, and I all drop our fingers. "Never have I ever... cooked for someone." Eugene says. Anna, Rupunzel, and I drop another finger. "Never have I ever... kept a big secret." Jack says. Everyone drops a finger.

"Never have I ever.. dated anyone." I say. Everyone but me drops a finger. Now it looks like this: Anna has 5 left, Merida has 5 left, Punzie has 6 left, Eugene has 6 left, Kristoff has 5 left, Hiccup has 7 left, Jack has 5 left, and I have 5 left.

The game continues until it's Jack and I with 1, Eugene and Kristoff with 2, Anna and Merida with 4, and Punzie and Hiccup with 5.

"Let's see who wins." Hiccup says eagerly. "And it's my turn." Merida says. "Never have I ever... been in any form of major leadership." Hiccup drops a finger while I drop my hand. "Wait what?" Jack says, looking between me and his one finger. "I win." I tell him.

The game goes for a bit more, with Rapunzel losing. "Hmm, what should you-" Anna cuts Jack off. "Show them the thing!" Anna shouts. Merida furrows her eyebrows. "The thing?" She asks. "The thing." Anna says, pulling her hair. Merida makes an "oh" face.

"Flower gleam and glow, let your power shine. Make the clock reverse. Bring back what once was mine. What once was mine." Rapunzel sings, her hair glowing. All the guys stare at her in shock, except Eugene. "Her hair is...it's glowing!" Hiccup says, leaning closer. As Rapunzel's voice fades, so does her hair.

"My hair can heal anything." She tells them. "Cool."
❄️❄️❄️

"Let's play truth or dare!" Jack suggests, turning onto his stomach while hugging one of my pillows. "I'm in!" The guys chorus. "Why not." I shrug, looking up from my phone. We all form our circle again, trying to get comfortable.

"Hiccup! Truth or dare?" Eugene asks. "Truth." He says confidently. Eugene smirks. "Is it true you had a crush on Jack?" He asks. Hiccup gulps. "I choose dare instead." He says, voice cracking. "I dare you to answer the truth." Eugene tells him. Hiccup sighs, looking at the floor. "I used to." He mumbles.

Jack chuckles, reaching in front of him to ruffle the brunet's hair. Hiccup seems to relax, looking back up. "Anna, truth or dare?" He asks. "Dare." She says, shrugging. "I dare you to sit on Eugene's lap for five minutes." Hiccup tells her. Anna shrugs and moves.
❄️

The game continues on. "Elsa. Truth or dare?" Jack says. "Dare." I tell him. "I know your secret Elsa." Jack says, smirking. I gulp. "I dare you to show us those Shakira hips!" He says, face serious. I breathe a breath of relief. Anna plays Hips Don't Lie and I dance along for a minute.

Kristoff whistles, earning a smack on the back of the head from Anna.
❄️❄️❄️

"Goodnight everyone." Anna says, turning off her lamp. "Goodnight." We all reply. I pull my blankets up higher, listening to everyone fall asleep. Just as I'm about to fall asleep myself, one of Jack's arms wraps around me and pulls me towards him.

"Jack." I whisper, looking back at him. His eyes are closed and his breathing is slow and even. He's asleep. I sigh, getting comfortable and following his lead.
