Alright, well, unfortunately no one got who the beauty is going to be that is appearing in this chapter but I am very pleased to see that some of you decided to participate! I want to give a thank you to all of my reviewers, some of which I had the pleasure of chatting with throughout the span of a few days. You know who you are. (; I also want to thank all of those of you who subscribed and favorited my story! I'm very, very happy to see how positively a lot of you have reacted to this and I hope chapter 3 is an interesting read for you all.
Onward!
Anna just stared up at the woman in front of her. It seems like as of late, Anna was finding it harder and harder to do the regular functions most people did seamlessly in a day. The woman in front of her had dark, rich colored skin. It reminded Anna of milk chocolate, but with a lighter consistency. Her gaze moved up from the hand that was tapping restlessly on her desk up to a slim wrist and arm that connected to a lovely and feminine torso, even behind the Arendelle University hoodie that hid some of the woman's shapeliness.
And there was definitely a lot of shapeliness to this woman.
No part of the stranger screamed girl, she seemed like she was a lot of things, but a mere girl was not one of them. She had one hoop earring in one ear which Anna found strange but after further inspection, she felt like it suited the brunette quite well. Dark, midnight black hair was tussled about her shoulders and back in a lovely, thick, mess of curls, it was in a slight disheveled state, she had a bandana of sorts in her hair that was a washed out pink color that continued onto her shoulder opposite that of her large hoop earring. Her wild mane of hair reminded Anna of a certain blonde she knew. The woman's face was petite and feminine, much like the voice that had spoken moments before. A pair of deep emerald eyes stared down at Anna impatiently, obviously waiting for some kind of response from the red head. Her lips were painted red and plump in a very appealing way, they were curved into a slight smirk, betraying the beauty's otherwise feigned annoyance.
Anna couldn't help but wonder for a moment why God had chosen now all at once, to bless her with so many beautiful people to fall into her lap.
"Who are you?" Anna final spoke. After she had a moment to think about what she said she realized how rude she sounded.
Nice going Anna, this poor lady shows some concern for your well-being and you have to be a total jerk in response.
The woman chuckled and that brought Anna out of herself long enough to meet emerald eyes with her own.
"Esmeralda, It's a pleasure to meet you, miss.." Esmeralda trailed off and waved her hand in the air in a way that made it clear that the brunette wanted her to respond with her name.
"A-Anna! Anna Wolff. Sorry, I'm a bit awkward, and my mouth tends to go places I don't necessarily want it to go. Sorry, if I sounded rude just then." Anna looked apologetically at Esmeralda and scratched the back of her neck in one of her many nervous habits.
"Anna? Well, it's nice to meet you, Anna." Esmeralda gave a mocking bow for a moment before continuing. "I was scared for a moment that you were going to decide to lash out at me, instead of that book of yours." The brunette pointed a finger at the offending object.
Anna chuckled and played with one of her braids to keep her hands busy. "Yeah, I was just thinking, is all. Didn't mean to draw attention to myself, or anything. N-not that I don't appreciate your concern!" Anna waved her arms about in front of her as if to swipe away at any unintended offense pushed at the brunette. "I-I can just get kinda lost in my thoughts sometimes, and I'll sometimes be totally unaware of my surroundings. There was this one time at the zoo-" Anna let out a frustrated sigh, her eyebrows knit together and a frown marring her lips. "Nevermind, I'm doing that thing again, rambling, I mean."
A laugh escaped the brunette this time and Anna felt a blush appear on her cheeks. "Don't worry about it, short stuff. Your awkwardness amuses me greatly." Esmeralda smiled widely down at the red head for a moment which Anna returned for a moment before realizing the little nick name that she had received.
"Hey, I'm not short! I'll have you know I was tallest in my class!.. In seventh grade.." As if to prove her point Anna shot up and stared at Esmeralda. However it was more damning to her statement than helpful considering Esmeralda was at least a few inches taller than her.
Esmeralda let out an unladylike snort of amusement, eyes shining with mirth. "Whatever you say, short stuff." She glanced down at her watch for a moment before her perfectly sculpted brows rose in surprise, "Shit, I'm gonna be late for class! Well, it was nice meeting you, Anna! I'll see you around."
And before Anna could reply the brunette was already waving goodbye to her and running in the other direction.
Well, at least she didn't call me short stuff that time.. Gotta take the small victories I can get, it seems. Anna sighed, crossed her arms and glared at the spot the beautiful woman had once been. Not too long after however, the red head's face broke into a small smile and she shook her head. She packed up her books since it seems she wasn't going to be getting any studying done tonight.
I wonder if I'll see her around again?
Anna hoisted her bag onto her shoulder and pulled out her cell phone from the pocket of her jeans. She scanned through her contacts until she found Kristoff's name, pressed the call button then lifted the phone up to her ear. It rang a few times before he answered.
"Anna! What's up feisty pants?"
What was with all these nick names lately?
Anna started making her way out of the library but before exiting she was sure to give a slight wave to Oaken who had told her to have a good day on her way out.
"Nothing much, just got done attempting to study.. It wasn't going so well so I figured I could come crash the party at your place and play some video games?"
"Of course, you know you're always welcome here." Anna felt cold all over and she knew it wasn't from the harsh weather this time around. He sounded so sincere, so genuine, and Anna had broken his trust. She tried to shake off her negative feelings and replied to him simply before closing the phone and making her way to Kristoff's place.
It didn't take long for her to get there, it was very close to campus and it only took about ten minutes of walking until she arrived at his doorstep. She knocked in her usual way, she heard big clunking footsteps until the door swung open to reveal Kristoff in a Playstation t-shirt that hugged his huge arms and torso in an appealing way and a loose pair of black sweats that hung on his hips. His hair was messy as usual. Upon seeing Anna he smiled lovingly down at her and swept her into a warm, comforting hug. Or at least it should have been comforting, under different circumstances.
Under normal circumstances.
Anna was beginning to think she was a glutton for punishment. She should have thought through going to hang out with Kristoff she knew that she would only be trounced with guilt once she saw him. It just didn't seem right to her if she were to ignore the blonde though, after all it wasn't his fault that Anna couldn't keep her legs closed.
Anna flinched at her own thoughts for a moment before she tried to regain her regular composure. Trying to act normal so she chuckled softly against Kristoff's bulking form and hugged him back. "It looks like you're already in your game mode."
Kristoff released her and kissed her cheek before ushering her in and offering her something to drink. She agreed on some chocolate milk that Kristoff must keep in the fridge just for her, considering Kristoff didn't like sweets in the slightest.
"Oh, you know me, just practicing to get my revenge against my biggest rival." He looked at Anna and sent a mock glare her way before plopping down in a bean bag chair that was placed in the middle of the living room.
Kristoff's dorm was small, but it was warm, and it represented him nicely. There were two bean bag chairs, one red and one blue that were placed near the TV. The coffee table that was usually settled where the chairs were was pushed aside so Kristoff could lounge about comfortably. There were movie and game posters littered in no particular arrangement around the walls as well as a few of Kristoff and his roommate's favorite model of cars. Against the wall that was parallel to that of the TV that Kristoff was facing, was the couch, black and plush and very comfortable. The TV that stood atop a medium sized black entertainment center was probably one of the nicer things in the room. It was a flat screen 32 inch TV with a high resolution. Kristoff was sure to get it for his games. In the glass case of the entertainment system were a few gaming consoles that included a PS3, Xbox 360, Gamecube, and Nintendo 64 for some of the classics. The Xbox and N 64 were his roommates but they were so close they had no problem sharing.
Anna stood close to the mouth of the hallway that led into the living room. She could see, on her right, the small kitchen space and a make shift dinner table that Kristoff and his roommate ate their meals together. It was usually only on weekends that they would get together and sit down to have an actual dinner, and after the first few times they had done it, it had turned in to somewhat of a tradition.
Anna looked back in the living room and finally noticed that Sven, Kristoff's roommate, was lounging about on the couch. When he noticed Anna was glancing his way, he looked up from the book he was reading and gave her a small smile.
"Hi, Anna. How are you doing?"
Sven was a handsome young man with chestnut brown hair that was shorter in the back and longer in the front, a few strands of brown hair fell into his eyes and shaped his face in an attractive light. His eyes were a honey brown and he was well built, but not nearly as much as Kristoff was.
He wasn't a man of many words but he was very well mannered and pretty fond of Anna after he had taken the time to get to know her.
"Hey, Sven. How are you doing? What you reading?" Anna peered down at the book cradled in his hands before looking back up at him.
"Just a little something on mechanics, I'm sure it wouldn't be too interesting to you." Anna didn't feel insulted that Sven didn't try to explain it to her. He just knew that she didn't have a particular interest in his would-be profession so he didn't see any point in trying to push the subject.
Anna nodded and sent another smile his way before taking a seat next to Kristoff in the red bean bag chair. The chocolate milk Kristoff had gotten he rested on coffee table and she made a mental note to drink it after she stomped Kristoff as her victory prize. Kristoff glanced over at her before opening the gaming case under the TV and pulling out a couple of Xbox controllers.
"What are we playing?" Anna took one of the controllers from the blonde before getting comfortable and preparing for battle.
"I figured we could do a couple of rounds of Halo, if that's alright with you, princess." Kristoff had been teasing her with the nickname ever since she had stumbled over her words a week before.
Anna just snorted.
"It doesn't matter to me what we play, you're gonna get stomped either way. Don't cry too much when you lose." Anna gave him a little wink before turning her attention to the TV in front of her. Kristoff had just got done popping in the game and the main menu was just loading.
"Oh yeah, big talk for someone so tiny. We'll see how well you do. I have been practicing after all!" Kristoff thrusts a thumb at his chest and raised his chin triumphantly. He looked quite smug.
"Oh, I'm sure all the practice in the world can't save you from the beating you're about to receive, boy."
Kristoff glared at her then, Anna knew he hated being called boy in such a condescending tone.
"You're so going down for that one."
Kristoff sat forward with his shoulders hunched over his giant form. He stared at the game screen in determination. They both picked the characters they had customized and the map they were going to play and after ten minutes or so Kristoff was awarded the first victory of the game. The blonde pumped his fist in the air in joy.
"Yes! Take that feisty pants!" Kristoff laughs and does a little victory dance before plopping back down in his squishy chair.
"I'm just warming up, Kristoff. Don't get too cocky just yet."
And with that said Anna unleashed a slaughter on the poor man that could have trounced any gamers' sense of pride.
"Why-How do you keep kicking my ass all the time!? You're one of the most uncoordinated people I know! This is starting to hurt my manly pride.." Kristoff grumbled and crossed his arms over his chest, controller dangling in one hand. His lip jutted out and his brows furrowed together, he looked like a little boy that got his favorite toy taken away.
Anna laughed and sunk further into her chair before patting Kristoff on his shoulder.
"It's okay, Kristoff. Just accept utter defeat at my godlike gaming hands and you will save yourself so much disappointment. I'd hate for your manly pride to shrink any more than it already has." Kristoff colored slightly at that statement and crawled to his knees before rummaging through the many games he had.
"Alright, how about this one then!" Kristoff held up a game as if it was going to be his saving grace, Anna just rolled her eyes and smiled in amusement at the man. Sven watched their interaction and chuckled to himself before setting his book aside and resting his face against his fisted hand, elbow rested on the arm of the couch, and watched on as the two continued to bicker.
It continued like that for a while, four more games and several glasses of chocolate milk later and Anna was ready to call it quits. Kristoff was all too happy to oblige considering he had only managed to pull off four victories, one for each game, out of the countless number of times they had played. It was getting late and Anna had class in the morning, much to her displeasure, she had to face another day and her overbearing reality as well. It was a nice distraction to play games with Kristoff and pretend things were okay between them. It was nice to be able to pretend that they could be happy with one another.
Could be. More like could've been.
Anna cringed at her thoughts as Kristoff got up from his perch and pulled her up with him. He told her he would walk her to the door and see her out. Anna appreciated his concern for her but couldn't help the nagging feeling that she was unworthy of such treatment. She didn't deserve his sweetness after what she had done.
God, am I ever going to let this go?
She left Kristoff's in a daze, which Kristoff must have noticed, but decided not to comment on. They hugged and Kristoff kissed her goodbye sweetly.
Anna felt sick.
She pushed through the doors leading to the outside and let out a shaky breath.
It was snowing.
Anna felt a small sense of calm at that as she watched the small snowflakes flutter to the ground gracefully. She stood there for a moment, unmoving, letting the fresh flakes flutter against her and color her hair and shoulders with a cold think layer of snow. Soon after she realized her cheeks were coloring from the cold and that she was shivering lightly she started to make her way to her own dorm which was past Kristoff's building and across from the opposite side of the college that Kristoff's building was designated.
Anna clutched at her arms and rubbed them in an attempt to keep warm, it was dark out and the sky was milky with snow. Anna couldn't make out the stars up above so she opted for distracting herself in other ways.
Thinking.
Which make Anna wish she would have just stared at her boots as she walked instead of letting her mind wander. Anna needed to figure out something to do about the hole she had dug for herself, she couldn't keep lying to Kristoff like this. It wasn't admirable and it made her feel like some filthy husband running around on his unsuspecting wife, it wasn't quite that serious Anna knew but the feelings in invoked in her told her otherwise. Anna had to come clean, she had to tell Kristoff that she was cheating. It was practically driving her crazy! She felt like she was always walking around on egg shells whenever Kristoff was involved. It felt foreign, strange, and just wrong to feel that way about Kritsoff. He was her best friend and things weren't supposed to go this way.
Things weren't supposed to fall apart like this.
Anna felt like her whole world was tumbling down around her and she was the only one trying to pick up the pieces. How was she expected to fix something that seemed so hopeless? She had totally botched any hope of being happy with Kristoff and also put someone's career on the line.
Elsa.
Oh no, no, no, no no. Anna couldn't tell Kristoff she cheated on him! He would have questions, questions that could make Elsa lose her job. She couldn't answer him honestly without ruining things for her professor. Anna wanted to cry. She wanted to throw her body against the fluffy powder of snow at her feet and kick and scream and pound on the ground.
She couldn't tell Kristoff otherwise she risked having people find out about what Elsa and she had done which had a whole other bottle of ramifications that Anna didn't want to open at this moment. If she did tell Kristoff there was no guarantee that he wouldn't go and inform Elsa's superiors. Normally Kristoff would never do something that could hurt Anna but people do things out of spite when they are hurt. Anna wouldn't blame him for reacting that way honestly.
Could she really blame him for responding that way?
What Anna and Elsa had done was so wrong. Students and professors aren't meant to have sex with each other. Students and professors aren't meant to be anything more than platonic with one another. Students and professors aren't meant to.. Anna can't even think the word. She hadn't thought of that four letter word since they had been proclaimed in a heat of passion.
Anna's heart clutched painfully.
This was so wrong, this was so messed up. Kristoff was supposed to make these feelings go away! Kristoff was warm and kind and smart and handsome. She was everything any girl would ever want so why wasn't he enough?
Why?!
Anna let out a choked sob. She had been doing this a lot lately, crying.
It's your own damn fault. Maybe if you actually thought things through before you acted. Maybe if you actually were honest with yourself..
Honesty.. It seemed like honesty was only going to make things worse at this point. What choice did she have to be honest? Either way if she was honest everyone would be hurt and a career could be ruined. She couldn't be that selfish to take all that away from those she cared about. She couldn't look her problems in the face. She knew what it really was though even if she wouldn't admit it to herself.
Anna was scared.
For a rightful reason, of course. Or at least that's what Anna keeps telling herself.
Anna wiped at her puffy eyes and sniffled to clear her running nose. The crunch of the snow under her shoes was a comforting consistent rhythm so she tried to focus on that to ground herself and stop another mini breakdown. The easiest way to her place was to cut through campus so she walked along her schools looming architecture. For a school that was recently built it had a very old, proper air about it. The structure was mimicry of medieval architecture. It was a very similar to St Stephan's Cathedral in design. The building towered over the students in a swell of academic pride, the interior was flush with rich browns and full reds. The wood that made up the doors, lecture halls, and classrooms were all dark and thick. It was interesting to see such a new building take such an old approach on its info structure. There were however an abundant amount of windows and plenty of sunlight billowed through the halls and rooms. There was a courtyard in the center of the college that was decorated in a relaxed way that had a walkway through a winding garden that was currently bare from the harsh elements.
Anna turned the corner and was now walking along the front side of the college. Anna was feeling less volatile with her emotions and for a moment she just enjoyed the crisp night air.
Of course it didn't last long.
The red head heard a beautiful, tinkling laughter reverberate through her ears and her eyes shot up in search for the sound. She looked around, panicked for a moment before her eyes landed on the woman in question.
Elsa.
She was as beautiful as ever and still in her work clothes. Her hair was pulled back into a bun, she had a dark blue pea coat on to shield her from the cold. A purple blouse poked out from underneath her jacket, she had black dress pants on and a pair of heels. How Elsa walked in heels in the snow was beyond Anna's comprehension.
Her face was lit up with laughter, her cheeks were flushed her eyes were closed and her nose was scrunched up in an adorable way. A hand was concealing her mouth, trying to hold back more laughter from billowing out from her beautiful lips.
Anna wanted to kiss her.
Anna wanted to hold her.
Anna wanted to know who that charming, sharp dress man was who was making her laugh.
He was a man with dirty blonde hair styled and swept perfectly atop his head. His arms were being flung around animatedly obviously telling a humorous story. She didn't see his face very well, she thought it was funny that she could pin point with an acute accuracy what Elsa looked like but could barely make out what the man beside her looked like.
Anna hid behind a nearby parked car. There was no way she could risk the two seeing her, she definitely didn't want to confront Elsa especially not now. The pair continued to joke around it seemed and Anna felt an awful unpleasant feeling well up in her. It made her anxious, angry and uncertain all in one.
Who was that guy? Anna had never seen Elsa laugh like that with anyone. Well, anyone except her.
Who does he think he is? Flirting with her like that? And why were they leaving school so late? Did he think he was being charming walking her out like that? What if they were on a date? Oh God, no.
Cool it, Anna. It's not a big deal. She's an adult. She's allowed to date anyone she wants.
Anna felt like she was going to start hyperventilating "She's an adult." Was a surprisingly a helpful mantra to keep her calm. Or as calm as Anna could be in a situation like this.
What if he sweeps her off her feet and she quits teaching and they get married and then move to Hawaii to live out their days in peace and Hawaiian bliss?!
Anna knew she was being ridiculous but she couldn't keep herself from thinking so strangely for some reason. It just made her feel so… so…
I'm jealous.
Anna almost slapped herself for how dense she was. Her small revelation didn't last long however, soon she was denying it and trying to feign ignorance.
I'm not jealous, I'm just.. Concerned! Yeah, that's it. I want to make sure that Elsa is taken care of, as a concerned student.
Anna nearly laughed at how foolish that sounded considering her current dilemma but she was sticking to it.
The two smiled at one another and Elsa placed a delicate hand on the man's arm before beaming up at him. The man seemed to whisper something to her before pulling her into a tight hug, Elsa wrapped her arms around the man and they held each other close for a few more moments. A few moments that would constitute for more than just a goodbye hug. They pulled back slightly and the man kissed the woman's cheek before pulling her back to him one more time for a quick hug.
Anna's heart sunk into her belly.
It looked like the two were saying goodbye before they parted ways, walking off to their respective cars. Anna slumped down against the car she was hiding behind. She sat there limp as if she were a rag doll, tossed aside and forgotten about.
He kissed her.
It hadn't been on the lips but they looked so familiar with one another. Like they had known each other for years, whispering sweet nothings to one other and oblivious to the outside world.
It hurt.
It hurt a lot. Seeing Elsa smile for someone else. Seeing Elsa happy with someone else. Anna felt so damn selfish, she felt so damn used, she felt so damn disgusting. She should be happy for her professor, this is better for both of them. This means they can both move on and get over their petty attraction for one other.
This means Elsa can be with someone and not have to hide it.
Then why did it feel so wrong? Why did it feel like it was her arms that should be wrapped around Elsa? Why did it feel like it was her lips that should be kissing Elsa's face? Why did it feel like it should be her that should be making Elsa happy?
Anna knew the answer.
She just wasn't ready for what it meant.
With a heavy heart and shaky legs Anna got to her feet. Sitting in the dirty, black snow wasn't going to solve anything. It certainly wasn't going to get her home any sooner and it wasn't going to warm up the frost that seemed to be over taking her body the longer that she sat there thinking. Anna let out a shaky breath and wiped at her face again with dirty gloved hands. She was only partly aware that she had been crying again.
She made it the rest of the way back to her dorm without any further inconveniences, she locked the door behind her and slumped against it. Her roommate looked like she was asleep and Anna was grateful for that. She didn't want to speak with anyone, she didn't want to look at anyone, and she didn't want to think.
She especially didn't want to think.
Anna stayed flush against the door for a few moments while she tried to will her body to remove her clothes and throw her into the comforts of her warm, albeit lumpy, bed. Soon enough her body complied with her desires and Anna made it to bed.
Anna had what she wanted, she didn't think for the rest of her conscious state and when she drifted off into sleep, it was a fitful one.
When Anna woke up the next morning she felt as tired as she had the night before. She slammed her hand on top of her alarm clock causing its screeching to be effectively silenced. Anna dragged herself out of bed and grabbed a stack of clothing and a towel. Now that she was properly equipped she made her long, perilous journey to her and her roommate's shared bathroom. Anna closed her bedroom down behind her and as if on queue, her roommate casted a sing song good morning in her direction. Anna visibly flinched.
When Anna didn't respond her roommate popped her head down the hallway leading to the bathroom and both of their rooms and quirked a brow up at the red head. "Rough night?"
"Yeah, rough night." With that Anna shuffled the rest of the way to the bathroom to hopefully wash some of her worries away. She locked the bathroom door behind her, turned on the faucet, and when the water seemed to be at an appropriate temperature. Which to Anna translated as scolding hot, she stepped in.
Anna cleaned herself slowly, meticulously. She didn't see what rush she had to be in and she liked the thoughtless taste of bathing. This was something she could do. When she was finished she stepped out of the shower and grabbed the towel that was resting on the rack where she had left it. She towel dried and got dressed quickly. Instead of her usual twin braids she opted for simply wrapping her hair in a band at the crown of her skull. Quick, easy, done.
After Anna cleaned up in the bathroom and brushed her teeth she went back to her room to retrieve her materials for school. Right after leaving the bathroom however her nose was assaulted with some wonderfully delicious smells so after grabbing her bag she headed out to the kitchen and peered into it to see her roommate fixing breakfast.
Said woman turned back at her and smiled kindly. "Sit down." She commanded.
Anna complied and sat at the table that was pushed into the makeshift dining room. Soon after her roommate placed a full plate filled with pancakes and bacon. Anna's eyes grew large and she pointed a finger at herself and stared at the other woman.
"This is for me?" She sounded like she just won a new car.
Her roommate chuckled and grabbed a cup filled with hot chocolate and extra marshmallows, just the way Anna liked it. She patted the red head's hair fondly for a moment.
"Of course, dork. Now stop being so depressed and smile a little for me, alright?"
Anna beamed up at her.
"You're the absolute best, Jasmine." The brunette in question just smiled back and grabbed her own plate to join Anna at the dinner table.
"So, you wanna talk about it?" Jasmine asked before taking a sip of her own hot chocolate.
Anna fidgeted for a moment and chewed on the mouthful of pancakes she had just inhaled before speaking.
"I don't think I wanna talk about it just yet."
Jasmine just gave a nod in acknowledgment.
That was one thing Anna loved about Jasmine, she never probed or pushed for information. She was very patient and when Anna needed to talk she would listen. Jasmine was mature for her age and very independent. Anna looked up to the brunette if she was being honest, she had so much resting on her shoulders. Her father was the owner of a major company that she was going to inherit in an indefinite amount of time but she handled it all very well. She studied diligently, she didn't have a boyfriend, she didn't shirk her duties and she was always the responsible one. Anna envied her.
Jasmine was dressed as nicely as ever, she wore a red long sleeved blouse that showed off a nice amount of collar bone and cleavage but not enough to be anywhere near slutty, a silver necklace found a home around the base of the woman's neck. Instead of the jeans that Anna opted for today she wore a black skirt that hugged her hips and legs nicely but didn't reveal too much. She had black leggings on underneath her skirt and black heeled boots that reached mid-calf. Her hair was curled today and styled to one side flowing freely over one shoulder. Her skin was dark and it blended quite well with the bright color of the red blouse she was wearing.
Anna slammed down the rest of her breakfast more so out of hunger than actually being in a hurry, "Thanks for breakfast, Jasmine! That definitely brightened up my day." Anna drank the rest of her hot chocolate before taking her dirtied dishes to the sink to wash them.
"It's not a problem, Anna. That's what friends are for, right?" Jasmine finished her own plate soon after and joined Anna in the kitchen.
"You know I'm here for you if you need to talk, right Anna? I'm not going anywhere." Jasmine set her dishes to the side and rested a comforting hand on the copper haired girl's shoulder. Anna looked over at her roommate with a look of appreciation. Anna wrapped her roommate up in a warm hug, squeezing her tightly for a moment. "Thank you, Jasmine. What did I do to deserve a friend like you?"
Jasmine returned the hug with just as much enthusiasm before laughing softly. "Well, ruining one of my favorite shirts isn't a good way to repay me for my friendship."
Anna's hands were still soapy and wet from doing the dishes, Anna jumped back which just caused her to collide with the sink behind her. Anna let out of groan of pain before replying, "Ow- I'm sorry! I didn't mean to get you all wet! I was just all happy cause you were being amazing and-"
Jasmine cut her off with a wave of her hand, "Don't worry about it, Anna. You know I just like giving you a hard time." She handed Anna a towel to wipe her hands. "Don't worry about the rest of the dishes, I got them. Don't you have class pretty soon?" Anna dropped the towel she was clutching on the counter and glance down at her phone.
"Oh, shit! I gotta get going! I'm sorry for not helping you clean up! I gotta get going, I'll talk to you later Jas!" Anna grabbed her belongings and flew out the door.
Jasmine just shook her head and laughed at her retreating roommate. What was she going to do with that girl?
Anna ran down the halls in a rush to get to her classes on time.
This is it, Anna.
She was mentally preparing herself now.
No more running away. Today is the day you're going to go talk to Elsa.
She opened the hallway door and squinted when she was greeted with gleaming sunlight.
I can do this.
She hurried to her class with purpose.
So! I had kind of a hard time trying to write this chapter and I'm kinda rushing to post it before I have to get ready for work in a couple but I hope you all like it! I was going to write a whole lot more but I figured I could save it for next chapter. I wanted to get this posted before Easter so I hope you all enjoy it. (; Thanks for all those who humored me in trying to figure out who the beauty was! Also thank you again to the reviewers and followers. I appreciate you all endlessly. Tell me what you think of this story. Any questions? How do you feel about some of the characters I introduced this chapter? There are going to be a decent amount to come. I'll see you all next chapter. (;
