Jelsa: A Tale Of Two High Schools

Chapt. 5

It was a late October night so a chill hung in the air. Elsa and Jack walked in silence for a while, Jack with his hands pushed into the pockets of his hoodie, Elsa tugging on the end of her braid. The lack of conversation was awkward. The air wasn't just cold, it was still and almost seemed stiff. There weren't many cars. The silence of the night only made it all the more apparent that they didn't know what to talk about.
"It's getting cold early this year, huh?" Jack said fishing for a way to break the silence.
Elsa tried not to flinch. Weather, that's what they were talking about. Not a good start.
"I wouldn't notice," Elsa said with shrug, "I've never been bothered by the cold. Actually just the opposite,"
"Oh?" Jack raised an eyebrow, "I see I'm in the presence of a fellow winter spirit,"
"You like winter,"
"No. I love winter," His eyes light up. "And I can guess you love it as well, miss winter sports captain,"
"How'd you know I'm the captain of the winter sports teams?"
Jack blushed, "My sources," He said with a nervous laugh running a hand through his hair.
"Your sources, huh?" Elsa smirked. "You know Frost, the more time I spend with you, the more I'm convinced you're a stalker,"
"Hey, I'm not the one who agreed to go out for coffee with a possible stalker," Jack said holding up his hands defensively. "For all I know you could be the stalker,"
"Me? How is that even possible? You were the one who ran into me. You were the one who tracked me down. And you were the one who asked me out for coffee,"
"And all that could actually be part of some brilliant evil master plan for you lure me in,"
"That plan has too many 'maybes' in it. If I'm going to have an evil plan I'm not going to leave anything to chance. And what motive could I possibly have for wanting to 'lure you in'?"
"I'm a star DreamWorks athlete, no doubt Disney would love for me mysteriously disappear,"
Elsa snorted, "Please, like we'd ever have to stoop that low. Disney doesn't have to resort to underhand tactics to win. We can do that with our own talent,"
"Yeah, that's why you won the game...wait a second..."

Elsa laughed pushing Jack playfully.
"Ha! See you just tried to push me into the street. You're an evil queen I tell you."
"If I were truly evil I'll make you buy me a coffee first before I kill you."
"That would be evil," Jack said looking up in thought and chuckling a bit. "Very well Miss Winters, I shall buy you a coffee then you can get rid of me,"
"Stop trying to sell me as the evil one. We both know you're the stalker,"
"Well you are the 'stalkee' type," he said thoughtfully.
"See, who else would know what a 'stalkee' type is but a stalker?"
"Fine, I admit it. From the second you sassed me I knew my life wouldn't be complete unless I tracked you down and bought coffee for you,"
"Oh, that's good to know. I'd feel so much better now about arranging your mysterious disappearance. At least I know you're life's complete now,"
Their laughter floated in the air around them, acting like a kiln, melting the barriers between them.
"You're not so bad Frost,"
"Right back at you Winters," Jack smiled, "Frost and Winters, ironic considering what our favourite season is,"
"My sister loves to tease me about that,"
"She doesn't like winter?"
"It's not that she doesn't like. If you've see the way she gets excited over building a snowman you wouldn't question her love of winter. Yeah, but she likes spring more. She says she loves the way it can symbolises seconds changes and new begins."
"You're sister is Anna right? The cheerleader with light red-ish hair,"
"Seriously, do you know everything about me? Are you going to tell me what I had for breakfast next?"
"French Toast?" Elsa's eyes went wide. "Wait? Seriously, that's what you had for breakfast? I guessed that I swear," He laughed loudly.

"Okay, I'm just going to call my sister and let her know if I don't check in every fifteen minutes she has to call the cops on you," Elsa said laughing, "You really just guessed that?"
"Yeah, first thing that popped into my head,"
"You seem to know everything about me Jack Frost, but I know nothing about you,"
"That's not true, you know my name. You know the school I go to. You know I just won this huge football game against my school's top rivals."
Elsa hit him playfully, "I'm not joking. Tell me something about you,"
"Okay, but what do you say we get our coffee first," He pointed past her. Elsa turned seeing they'd arrived at the coffee shop. Had they really been talking for that long?
