Chapter III

Locked up

"So he has a girlfriend…"

"So why? Why did he kiss me?" Elsa looked at her book as she felt some tears running through her cheeks and drooping on some open pages. She quickly rubbed them down.

"Damn it" She said as she closed the book with a mix of anger and frustration.

"The right question should be: Why am I still thinking about this?"

The morning sunshine invaded Elsa's room. She looked through the window and took a deep breath; in a useless tentative of send those estrange fellings away.

More than a week had already passed since that awful episode with Jack Frost, but Elsa's memory was still fresh.

She remembered just fine about all those horrible things she heard from that guy, the sound of Jack's voice trying to stop her from leaving and also how she passed that night crying alone in her room.

Elsa tried her best to forget about everything and to keep going on with her life. Pretend that it was all a bad dream. She almost did, but the memory of Jack, it wasn't something easy to raise. The memory of Jack's eyes, his lips and...

She still could fell the warm. The warm she felt when he was holding her in his arms and kissing her.

As much as she tried to forget, it was useless. The sensation Elsa felt, when he kissed her like that, was so strong that she could fell it again just by remembering.

She never had felt something like that before, even thought it hadn't been her first kiss. Elsa wasn't even virgin anymore. But still she felt like she was.

"You must forget about him Elsa, even if it wasn't true what that Guy, Hans, said…" She ordered herself shaking her head.

Back then, Elsa was so shocked by the things she heard, that was impossible to think about other thing despite running away from Jack. But when she recovered her calm Elsa was able to think clearly. It was possible that that guy Hans was lying about Jack and the girlfriend thing.

It was Friday morning and as usual she was using her free time, without classes to study. But instead of going to the library as she normally did, she decided to stay at her room. For two reasons: Since her roommate was still studying abroad their room had become a very nice place to study and also she didn't want to risky to meet with Jack.

She knew he often went to the library on Fridays, Elsa remembered of seeing him there a few times, always on the Fridays.

She hadn't spoken with Jack after what happened, so she hadn't given him a chance to explain himself. She knew it wasn't fair on him to accept what she heard from that guy without hearing Jack's version of the story. But it wasn't something simple.

What would happen if Jack admitted to her that he did had a girlfriend, and what would happened if he didn't? How she would react to both of those possibilities? She couldn't decide what would be worse. So in the end she choose to hide herself from him.

It end up not being something difficult, after all they were in different curses. They didn't have classes together or the habit to frequent the same places on campus. But still, it was true that as Elsa, Jack also liked to study at the library and talk with professor Milo.

Elsa knew that: Even though Jack had the fame of being the cool Hockey player he was also a quite brilliant student, just like her.

So, beside of avoid going at library, she also passed those last few days showing herself the minimum she could at the university. Her life was basically resumed in her class and room, also her short time at the cafeteria to have the meals.

"This is ridiculous. How long do you pretend to be locked in this room, Elsa?" She asked herself finally realizing she was still running from him, even after ten days. She was afraid but she couldn't be locked in her room forever and also avoiding places because she was afraid of meeting him.

"I can't run away anymore, we study in the same university at some point we will have to face each other."

She took a look at her cell phone to check the time. It was still early; her first class will only start three hours later. There was also a new message: from Anna.

"Hi Sis, is everything alright? I am worried, I don't see in a while at the campus, even in the library, I went there last Friday and you weren't. Did already took breakfast today? Did you and Jack have a fight or something? Please call me" 15 min ago

Elsa finished reading Anna's message with a pain in her stomach. That pain Elsa recognized very well as quilt. She couldn't avoid felling ashamed by her sister's words. Anna was worried and with reason. In the end Elsa was behaving like a scared kid.

But she wasn't a kid anymore, Elsa was a woman and she had no reason to hide herself in her room. She hadn't done anything wrong if someone did something not suppose to do that person was Jack, no her.

"It is time to stop running" Thought Elsa, as she stared to replay Anna's message to certificate her little sister that everything was fine.

"Hi, Anna I am sorry for being so absent, but don't you worry I am ok. I didn't come to the cafeteria this morning, I just felt like preparing something in my room. Don't worry, I am fine" Sent

"Elsa?" Anna answered, immediately. "What happened between you and Jack?"

"Nothing happened. Stop asking those sorts of things. There is nothing between me and Jack Frost." That was what Elsa would like to answer but before she could her cell phone rang.

And for her surprise it wasn't her sister. In the screen was wrote "Unknown number"

She answered it and for her surprise, it was none other than Jack Frost.
