Author's note: Hello hello! Oh gosh, you don't know how excited I am that you've decided to check out my story! I hope you like it! Fair warning now, this story is like 50% fluff, 49% me trying (and, let's face it, utterly failing) to be sassy, and 1% plot (if that even). I won't deny it, you will find next to no plot here, and I have zero shame about it. You don't like it? Too bad! You can leave! Now, to those of you still here (the cool kids, amiright?)... Enjoy!

Rated T for language and minor suggestive adult themes *wink wink nudge nudge*

Elsa hated people.

Okay, maybe hate was a strong word. It was more of a strong aversion. And maybe it wasn't necessarily people that she had the problem with, per se, but rather dealing with people. She did her best to avoid talking to or otherwise interacting in any way with other people. The only person she really got along with - more specifically, the only person she really wanted to get along with - was her sister. But her sister was an amazing, clever, beautiful human being and an exception to the rule. As for everyone else…

People were scary. People were stressful. People let you down. People were… ugh, people.

And today, there was one particular person who was not exactly endearing the human race to her currently.

She started as her entire chair quaked from a swift kick delivered to the back of it. This had been the second time in as many minutes. She directed an icy glare over her shoulder at the culprit, Steve Abbington. He just flashed her a smug grin and shrugged.

Steve was a muscle-bound, meat-brained knuckle dragger who thought he was all that because he had gotten a free ride on a football scholarship. He was under the impression that women just swooned at the sight of him and his ugly mutton chop sideburns. He thought that about every girl, including Elsa apparently, as she had discovered when he had asked her on a date last month.

And how had Steve come to the decision to woo her? Was it based on a long time acquaintance built on mutual trust and friendship? Was it because they shared common beliefs, interests, goals and hobbies? Had they ever had at least one pleasant conversation together, or did he even know her name? Nope, nu uh, and negatory. In fact, his exact words when he asked her out, which coincidentally were his very first words to her, were, "Hey, hot stuff. Uh… Ellen… is it? You. Me. Movies. Tonight. I'll even buy you popcorn. And babe, I'm gonna rock your world."

The sad part was he had honestly believed he was doing her a favor and that what he was proposing was the highlight of her year or something. Not exactly going all weak in the knees, Elsa had turned him down as politely as she could. Thinking she was joking, he had proceeded to pinch her in the rear.

She, in turn, had proceeded to deck him in the jaw.

He seemed to get the message loud and clear at that point.

However, Steve didn't take to rejection too kindly. Ever since then, he had been doing his best to make a general nuisance of himself. His bullying tactics were childish at best, including classics such as name calling, shooting spitballs at the back of her head, and, as he was presently demonstrating, chair kicking. This semester could not end soon enough. Then the class she shared with Steve would be over and, with how huge the university campus was, she'd likely never have to cross paths with him ever again.

Shaking her head in disgust, Elsa tossed her platinum braid back over her shoulder, gathered her things and stood up. It was best just to ignore him and move. There were plenty of other empty seats in the amphitheater-style classroom.

The lecture was not going to begin for another fifteen minutes, so many students had not shown up yet. In fact, besides her and Steve, there were only three other people in there taking up a set of seats together in the top back row of the room. As she walked, her moonlight blue eyes drifted towards the trio. The one who sat in between the other two was the only one she knew.

Or rather, knew of would perhaps be a more appropriate term.

He was slender and tall. Really tall. Like, Mount Fuji tall. He had long, blazing red hair that was styled back into a mess of spikes. He had bright, christmas-light green eyes that were emphasized with bold, black eyeliner. Just under his eyes on either cheek was a mark in the shape of a upside-down teardrop - Elsa wasn't sure if they were tattoos or just makeup. He was currently slouched low in his seat, feet kicked up on the chair in front of him, with a cigarette tucked behind his left ear.

His name was Axel, and he had a bit of a reputation. Supposedly, he was some sort of bad boy with a love 'em and leave 'em type of attitude. Elsa supposed he was just the right amount of gorgeous to get away with it.

His arm was wrapped around his current flavor of the week, a skinny girl taking up the seat on his left. Her eyes were a radiant cyan and her blonde, jaw length hair was uniquely fashioned to look like it had a pair of antennae sticking out. Elsa had never seen that girl before and was pretty sure she wasn't even enrolled in the class.

Seated on the other side of Axel was a boy. Elsa didn't know his name, but had seen him around in class. He was often sitting with Axel, so it was a safe bet they were friends. He also had chaotic spiky hair, but his was much shorter than Axel's and was a golden blonde. His dark blue eyes were currently cast down as he tapped away at his phone and said something that made the other two chuckle.

The redhead's eyes shifted and briefly met with Elsa's. She hastily looked away.

The new seat she chose was in the front row next to an aisle, on the complete opposite side of the room from Steve. She plopped her bag down on the floor and sat down. Flipping up the little desk in the armrest, she settled her laptop upon it. More students were slowly beginning to trickle into the room. She pulled out her phone to pass the time until the lecture started. She managed to get approximately one full minute of undisturbed time to herself.

Then her whole seat vibrated sharply once again as another kick hit the back of it.

Snapping her head around, she wasn't surprised to find that Steve had acquired a new seat. The one directly behind hers. The same self-satisfied little smirk twisted his face.

Apparently this jerk didn't realize he wasn't in high school anymore.

"What? I ain't doing nothing," he sneered at her.

She frowned and narrowed her eyes at him.

He scowled. "What's your problem? You got something to say to me?"

With a sigh, she faced forward again. Just pay no attention to him. She was above him and his idiotic pranks. Just-

Her chair shook again, this time more violently as his foot hit it harder. "Hey. Bookworm," he snapped. "I'm talking to you. If you got something to say, spit it out."

Now, Elsa normally did whatever she could to avoid talking to people whenever and wherever possible at all costs. This, however, was one of the rare times she felt the strong need to voice her thoughts.

She did not look at him or make any other movement. She just wickedly smirked as she said, "Oh, it's nothing, really. It's just that with that vacuum between your ears, I'm simply amazed that your head doesn't implode in on itself. Must be that thick skull of yours."

There was silence for a few seconds, before, "What'd you say to me, bitch?!" His foot hammered her chair. "Say that to my face!"

Rising to her feet, she spun around. "I said-"

Steve's head suddenly slammed into his own desk with a loud wham!

Elsa jumped in surprise. She then spotted a hand on the back of his head. It was apparently this hand that had forced his head into the table and was currently keeping it pinned there. The hand, she discovered, belonged to Axel. It seemed the redhead had risen from his seat and had decided to intervene. The girl that had been with him stood behind him now and was hiding a smile behind her hand.

Axel flashed Elsa a friendly grin and said, "You'll have to excuse him. Children can be so cranky when they haven't had their nap."

She just blinked at him a couple times and said nothing.

Steve began to raise his head, snarling, "What the fuck do-"

Axel rammed Steve's head into the desk again, this time holding it firmly in place. A little blood seeped out of one of Steve's nostrils. "Can it, squirt," he told him. "Naptime isn't over yet."

The other girl snickered. The golden-haired boy was still in his seat. He just shook his head at the scene and looked back down at his phone.

Pulling a lighter out of his pocket, Axel bent forward so his eyes were level with Steve's. "Now, unless you want to find out if I like mutton chops cooked medium rare or well done," he flicked the lighter on, holding the flame within an inch of Steve's sideburns, causing him to flinch, "I suggest you start treating the lady with respect from this moment forward." He put the lighter out, his fingers curling around it before tapping his index finger against his temple. "Got it memorized, punk?"

The jock gulped, then nodded as best he could with his face smooshed against the desk.

"Good. Now scram," Axel commanded as he straightened up, giving Steve's head a shove before releasing it. Steve stumbled out of his chair and fled to the opposite side of the room where he huddled in a seat in the back corner, scowling as he wiped blood off his nose. Whispers and giggles from other students filled the air around him.

Retrieving his cigarette from behind his ear and putting it between his teeth with a toothy smirk, Axel winked at Elsa and stretched his arm out to one side. His lady friend obliged by stepping up beside him and he slung his arm over her shoulder. The pair of them then walked towards the doors leading outside, presumably to get a smoke in before class started. Elsa watched them go, wide-eyed and frozen where she stood.

Well… maybe not all people were bad…

Some were just violent, sadistic lunatics.

Author's Note: Ahhhhh, so what'd you think? Please leave a review and let me know! I know, not a lot to go on yet, but hopefully it's grabbed your interest and you'll stick around to see where this is going. And if you hadn't already guessed, no fire/ice powers in this story, but there were be references back to those (omg, SO many stupid silly lil references, you'll end up hating me before long I'm sure). But really, just a couple of muggles in your basic romcom. Sorry for the short chapter, but don't worry, I'm gonna hella make up for it next chapter, which, mis amigos, should be up in about a week! Side note, anyone know who Steve Abbington is in this chapter? He IS a certain Disney character if you get the (hopefully not too subtle) reference.

Curious about the chapter title? Or even the story title? Worry not, that'll all make sense in due time.

And FYI, each chapter is going to be from a certain character's point of view, either Elsa's or Axel's. It will still always remain third person, but it will be very obvious who's point of view it is... the two characters have VERY different narrators. This chapter was Elsa's narrator. Trust me, you'll know when Axel's narrator has reared its ugly head.

Shout out to new peeps just discovering me! And shout out to returning readers who are fans of my other story, The Heart of All Worlds! Yes, I'm back from my break (probably sooner than I should be, but I was too impatient and excited for this story that I couldn't wait any longer!) and am an officially married woman now! This story probably already seems very different from my other one, even in this very brief chapter. Trust me, it's going to continue to be very different! But, I'm still me, still with my own unique writing voice, so hopefully you'll still enjoy it! And wondering about book 2 of THoAW? Don't worry, it's still coming, but you're going to have to wait a bit as my focus will be on this story for a while.

Alright, sorry for the short essay, but I couldn't help it, I'm really excited about starting this story, and I ramble when I'm excited! Thanks again for reading and next chapter should be up next week!
