The Moons Mission /Jack Frost and Elsa Modern AU

Chapter 5

Finally. The bell rings which means schools over and I'll get to meet Elsa. I look at her. During this lesson I looked at her quite often.. But I can't help it.
Now she gives me a quick glance and I quickly read her mind just because I'm curious..
~I'll just wait here then I'll go to him the others shouldn't see that were meeting, that could cause them to mock Jack.~

I almost nod to show her I'll wait as well but stop myself. She doesn't know you can read her mind Jack!! I'll just wait.. I mean anyone could just suspect they should wait right?
Finally everyone is gone. I pack my pens into my backpack as she says
"Ready to go?"
"Ready as I'll ever be." I tell her.

We both walk beside each other. She's just a little bit smaller than me, a few strands of her braid have been loosened, it must've been by the wind. I smile at the floor. I'm really going to be one of the first people she ever talked to here.. What's so special about me to her? Should I read her mind right now? No that would feel wrong.. But I have a mission and until now she seems to be the most promising person.. What if she's it? What will happen to her?

"Jack?"
"Yes?" Quickly I snap out of my thoughts.
"I was just asking you whether you're hungry or not. We could stop by a shop or something like that to get food."
"Oh I'm sorry I was thinking.. Uhm sure I usually eat for the first time right after school so if it's ok for you too we can go somewhere"
"That's funny, I always eat first right after school too, my sister always tells me she could never skip breakfast. Guess I'm not the only weirdo then." She smiles at me, I chuckle and smile at her..

Then I ask "So do you know a good place? I have money but I don't really know much about where to get nice food around here."
We are outside of the school now.
Elsa thinks for a short time, she puts a finger on her chin. She looks cute. Jack stop thinking like that, your cheeks are gonna turn red!
"I know a few places.. Hmm we're going to the park on the way there we could either get some sandwiches there's a really good place for that or we could get sushi, that's also on the way. What do you feel like having?"
"Honestly I prefer sandwiches, what about you?"
"I like both but sandwiches sound good to me too, well, then let's go!" Elsa replies.

Elsa goes to the right and I follow her. I've seen other people walk together outside of the school but I've never actually done it myself. I've never met up with someone, partly because I have only gotten here last week of course but also because I didn't really want to meet anyone. Besides of Elsa.
She looks like she's lost in thoughts right now. What could I talk about with her?

"You mentioned you have a sister.. What's your family like?"
Ah no, why did I ask that, maybe I'll have to tell her about mine too.. My non- existent family. Technically man in moon could be my family but I've got no human members.
"My mom and dad sadly passed away in a ship accident two years ago, they were on holiday.."
Elsa says, her eyes sad but her voice steady, she seems to be over it.
"Elsa I'm so sorry.. I.. I hope you have good memories with them."
"I do. They were really great parents, I played with them and could talk about anything." She smiled, you could see that she loves her parents deeply. "But whenever they went away my aunt came to look over me and my sister. I don't have any other siblings. My aunt is the one who's taking care of me and my sister now."

"What's she like?" I ask
"Well. She is a good person. But it's hard for her to show it often. She.. She has gone through some things and that's why she doesn't really like seeing Anna and me together. I believe it is because of my aunt and her brother, not my dad, he's also her brother but her other brother actually. They were really close but then he went away and never came back. He never contacted her again. So my poor aunt.. She tries to prevent this from happening to us.."
"What do you mean?"
"She put us in separate rooms. We only see each other at dinner every day when she's around. But whenever she's gone Anna and I have the best time together, it's not too bad."

"Whoa.. I can't imagine being seperated from the only sibling you have, especially when your parents died.. I'm sorry you have to go through that but Im glad that you seem to be able to handle it very well which makes you really strong, you know. And you're kind because of all the empathy you feel for your aunt even though she separates you."
"Thank you Jack. You're kind too. And yeah, I've learned to live with it, besides being angry and sad about it would only make things worse so I try to see it the best way."
My feeling that she could be the right person is only growing stronger minute by minute.

I look into her eyes once again. She has a sister but is separated from her.. From one of the only people she has a real connection with but nevertheless she is content. Peaceful, relaxed and doesn't feel bad. Surely things could be better but she learned to see the best in things the way they are.
She looks at me again I notice her looking at my hair, oh no does it look weird? But putting my hand through it now would only make things weird...

"So what about your family? Who do you live with?" Elsa asks.
Oh no here we go.. What do I do? I can't lie to her. But I can't tell her the truth.. yeah so I'm here for a mission and got sent by the man in the moon who gave me money and shelter which is why I don't need a family. And hey, you might be the person I'm looking for, ready to meet the man in the moon? ..
Yeah that won't work. I don't want to lie..

"I.. I don't remember my family. I live alone in a house. I know I'm super weird but that's all I know. Sorry."
"You don't have to apologize, whatever happenened must've been.. hard. I hope wherever they are they are happy. How do you feel about living alone?"
"Honestly, it's pretty nice since you can do whatever you want.. other than going to school and working for money." I just had to make that up before she started asking about where I get my money. I'm sorry for lying. "But it can also get lonely, then I like going outside for a while to look at how other children play, how people talk to each other.. or I just listen to music and read, that makes me happy as well." I tell Elsa.

"Good to hear that you are ok with living on your own. You are responsible, for being able to do that." She says.
"I guess.. I guess we're kind of similar.. We both live separated from our family. But we both can handle that pretty well." I reply.
"You're right. But we both could use someone else who understands us by our side right?"
Is this.. a sign that she wants to be real friends with me? She wants to get to know me better? She likes me?

She looks at me as if she was hoping for acknowledgement.
I smile and assuringly I say
"Definitely."
"And we both could really use a sandwich now too?" She says as she points at the door in front of us - the entrance to the sandwich restaurant thingy.
I chuckle "Of course."
