The Cold Can Be Bitter

Catching Up

Jack's P.O.V.
By the time Flynn and I got to Yogen Fruz ( frozen yogurt shop), we were the first ones there. So we just casually purchase our frozen yogurts and sat down at 'our' table.

"So, what going on with you and Punzie?" I ask, trying to get a conversation going.

"I think I'm gonna ask her out pretty soon." He announces with a smirk. I nod and took a spoonful of my yogurt. "What about you and Elsa?"

I nearly choke on my yogurt earning a chuckled from Flynn. "Excuse me?" I retort after I recovered.

"Oh, com'n. You guys flirt like it's your religion." He points before taking another bite of his frozen yogurt.

"I didn't know it was a crime to flirt." I defend myself. Flynn just rolls his eyes before saying, "Dude, you can have any girl in our year just by looking at her. What are you so afraid of?"

What he said, is true. Being a hockey player at Arrington height has its advantages. Hockey to Arrington is football or basketball to other schools, so it's a big deal.

"Doesn't mean that she'll like me." I state causing Flynn to give triumph smile.

A ding goes off signaling that someone entered the shop. I glance up to see that it's Elsa and Punzie. Flynn notices it too and waves them over.

"Hey." Flynn greets when they walk up to the table.
"Hi." Punzie greets back, trying to hide the blush that crept to her face. Elsa just smiles and casually waves.

"Well, we're gonna go get some fro yo. So we'll be right back." Elsa informs us before they strut up to the counter.

"Keep you mouth shut." I warn Flynn as Hiccup and Hans come in. They notice us and sit down. Hiccup sits next to me on the right while Hans sit across the table next to Flynn on his left. The girls quickly sit and join us. Elsa casually sit next to me and Punzie sits next to Flynn.

"Oh hey guys." Elsa greets them. Hans nods in acknowledgement and Hiccup smiles.

"So what have you guys been up to?" Hiccup says ending the silence.

"You know just practicing for tryouts." I reply. Earning a nod from everyone. "Shocker." I hear Elsa mumble under breath.

"What was that?" I mock. She shook her head and mumbled nothing.

"That's cool. I've been doing pretty much the same thing." Flynn informs everyone while glancing over at Punzie.

Flynn's real name is Eugene Flynn Fitzherbert. But since he hates his first name everyone calls him Flynn. Only the people on his basketball team calls him Rider. I never figured out why.

Punzie nods as she takes a small bite of her yogurt before she says, "Sounds fun. I've been just hanging out with Elsa and working on my art." Elsa looks up at the mention of her name before glancing around the shop.

" Ive actually been working more on my tricks so I can enter the BMX contest this year finally." Hiccup explains.

"That's cool. Have you learned any new tricks?" Elsa asks eagerly. She always been fascinated by his hobby.

Hiccup smiles, glad that someone took an interest in his hobby. " The 360 tail whip and a bunch of others." He says. Elsa smiles as she nods her head and takes a another bite.

Hiccup has been one of my good friends since the 6th grade. His birth name is Harry Haddlock but when I first met him, he would constantly have the hiccups so that eventually became his nickname and it stuck.

Hans Isles is actually pretty new to the group. He was the new kid last year and he is also on the hockey team so I introduced him to the group and he fit right in.

"So is anyone else coming?" Jack ask, as I casually pick up the trash in the table and toss it on the tray.

"Um, no. Merida and Astrid are meet us at the mixer. And that's goes with Kristoff and Bunnymund, Bunny's friend and Tooth." Punzie explains as she scraps up the last of content in her bowl for her last scoop.

After about ten minutes later, everyone is having their own conversations. Flynn is trying to impress Punzie by talking about basketball. Hiccup and Hans are talking about the hottest new video game. And Elsa is scrolling through her phone. She looks so beautiful doing thing simplest thing. She then looks up and turns towards me and stares at me with those beautiful forget - me- nots blue eyes. She starts to mouth something before I realize I was starring.

"Jack?" Elsa says as she waves her hands into of my face.

"Uh? Yeah?" I answer praying the heat rising to my cheeks wasn't noticeable .

"Why were you starting at me?" She asks, furrowing her eyebrows in the process.

"Sorry I zoned out." I reply a little to quickly. She pressed her pointer finger on lip before she did a silent 'oh'.

"Yeah..." I respond adding a quick chuckle in and not forgetting my signature hair flip at the end. She studies me for a while be she adverts her eyes back to her phone. I release the breath that I didn't know I was holding and joined in Hans and Hiccup's conversation.

Moments later Elsa glances at her phone and announces, "Well, guys it's 8:15 I think we should start heading over."
