Concealing Till The End

Chapter 5

Elsa's POV:

I found myself walking to Jack and Tooth, who were both laughing at something Jack had said.

I stopped in my tracks as I realized I was in front of them. Tooth and Jack, for some reasons, were looking at me strangely.

"Hey, Jack." I smiled, but then faded as Jack had confusion on his face.

"What do you want?" He said coldly. This wasn't the Jack I knew.

This was a whole new level of Jack. A new him.

"I just wanted to say.... Hi?" I struggled.

Tooth just pushed me away.

"Thanks for coming, bye-bye now" she ordered sassily as Jack just chuckled and kissed her cheek.

I was starting to get a tinge of anger as to wondering why Jack was suddenly acting like this.

"Excuse me, but this is my best friend. So I think I have a right to say hi." I rolled my eyes.

I was astonished on how I was standing up for myself. I felt....

Proud, in fact.

"Best friend? Yeah, but I'm his girlfriend."

I hated that word. 'Girlfriend'

I just wanted to throw up.

Next thing I knew I was forced away from the couple and instead of Jack sticking up for me..

He laughed at me.

That's all I could hear after the view got dark.

/-----------------

"So what happened, exactly, Bjorman?" A voice I could hear.

"Well, we had no dodge balls, so we used softballs instead. And our friend, Jack Frost unintentionally threw the softball at Elsa's head."

Which I'm guessing his name, Bjorman, simply answered.

My eyes felt droopy, but as if I cared because all I could think of was the dream, or nightmare.

My eyes suddenly saw light as my view focused. I had then realized I was in the nurse's office.

And that the guy, Bjorman, was actually Kristoff.

I slowly sat up as I now had a headache.

The nurse, Kristoff, and Eugene had realized I was up.

"Okay, honey. How are you feeling?" Mrs. Honey asked.

"I'm fine, just a headache, that's all." I reassured.

I then realized about the time.

"Eugene! What time is it?" I asked nervously.

He simply looked at his watch and answered, "Gym just ended."

I mentally face palmed. "You mean, I missed the whole period?!"

"Yep" Kristoff now answered, making the letter 'P' pop.

As soon as he had said this, I literally got up, pushed my way out of both boys, and ran to P.E to grab my bags.

Until,

I bumped into Jack.....

And Tooth was right beside him. I just wondered on why we all called her that. Her real name is Tina.

I tried to go around them until Jack grabbed my arm.

He held both of my shoulders and forced me to look at him.

"Hey Elsa! Listen, I'm so-"

"Save it Frost." I only called him Frost when I wasn't in good terms with him.

I jerked myself away from his grip and ran to P.E.

I spotted coach and jogged over towards him.

"Coach!" I yelled.

"Ahh, Elsa. How you feeling?"

I honored his question and asked, "where's my bag?"

He smiled, "oh, Jack has it. You might wanna find him and grab it."

I returned the smile genuinely, and turned away to walk to... Wait did he say JACK?!

Jesus!

I stomped away to reveal him right in front of me. I looked down to see my bag in his hands.

I snatched it away and walked to class. Music. Another subject I enjoyed.

As I walked I felt as if someone was following me, and I knew that one person.

I stopped only for that 'person' to bump into me.

I turned around to see no other than Jack.

"Can you stop following me?!" I flustered angrily.

He looked at me with confusion. He opened his mouth to say something but I cut him off.

"Just leave me alone."

I turned on my heel and stormed off. But it wasn't long until Jack spoke up.

"Can you not?!" I stopped in my tracks to look at an annoyed Jack.

How did I know? His eyes were closed, his hands were balled into fists, and his nose was scrunched in disgust.

I looked at him waiting for more.

And it was silence......

"What?" I guess i was supposed to reply, "Not do what?"

"Like, can you not act that. I don't like your attitude. It's annoying."

Well, that felt like I just got punched. It's like he called me annoying, not my attitude.

I held in the lump in my throat. "You act like I did something wrong."

"You did." I said, but it came more as a squeak.

Jack opened his eyes to look at me. "What?"

Oh, god. He is so...

Clueless.

But, I was angry.

Not because he called me annoying, of because he simply said what. It was because he didn't care. He didn't care about my feelings. Tears threatened to spill in my eyes as I walked over towards Jack.

We were only a few inches from each other.

And right there........

I slapped him across his left cheek.

Again.

Again.

And again.

And surprisingly enough, he let me.

After a few more slaps, I felt weak.

My knees wobbled as I slid to my knees.

Jack kneeled down to me and held my shoulders.

His face were slightly pink as if I hadn't slapped him that hard.

I couldn't bear to look at the bastard, so I closed my eyes.

After a few more minutes of silence, the bell rung.

So it was only Jack and I.

"I'm sorry."

He said. I opened my eyes.

Was he apologizing? Did he figure it out as to why I was acting out like this?

No

"But I'm late to class."

He stood up and left me feeling broken.

And as I stayed there silently sobbing, he never looked back at me.
