Anna was awoken by her mother's constant poking.
"Five more minutes," Anna begged burying her face into her fluffy pillows.
"Come on Sweetie, get up, it's your first day as a junior at your new school." Ruby teased.
Anna sat up quickly exclaiming, "I'm up!"
Immediately Anna was shoving her mom out of the room.
"Out, out I have to change." The strawberry blonde ordered.
Anna shut the door and opened her closet. She had a large selection of dresses and jeans with a few scattered shirts.
The teen couldn't help stressing out over what to wear. She stared into the closet for minutes. Then she remembered the clothes she had already picked out. She picked the stack up off of her dresser and dashed to the bathroom to conduct her morning rituals.
Anna finished dressing and studied herself in the mirror. The knee length emerald dress she had picked out matched beautifully with her freckles and strawberry hair. Anna pulled her hair into twin braids and smiled at her reflection. Today was going to be a great day; she could feel it in her bones.
Anna pulled on her mismatching purple and black socks murmuring, "I missed you guys."
She giggled and stepped into her black sneakers just as her mom hollered for breakfast. Anna took a deep breath and moaned joyfully at the strong scent of chocolate chip pancakes filling the air.
Anna dashed down the stairs to the kitchen to find a glorious stack of her most revered food waiting for her. The top pancake was covered with peanut butter and a delicious layer of maple syrup that seeped down the sides of her breakfast stack. Anna wasted no time and inhaled her five pancake tall breakfast almost instantly. Anna felt the consequence of her inhalation building and drained her glass of orange juice which quelled the rising pain. "Bye mom, have a good day and maybe find a date," Anna joked as she dashed out of the house grabbing her skateboard on the way out.
-Scene cut-
Anna arrived at school and kicked her skateboard up into her arms walking inside. Anna had arrived a little early so the halls weren't that full. She easily found her locker and stashed her skateboard inside clasping a padlock on the lift-to-open handle. With that business finished Anna looked around for anyone who looked like they knew their way around. Anna spotted a promising girl who stood talking with a group of her friends. Anna walked over and cleared her throat politely. The conversation stopped and all the girls turned to face Anna.
Anna considered it a gift that crowds never bothered her much. She looked at the girl whose blue eyes were much like her own. She had long sleek platinum blonde hair. Anna bowed her head slightly with respect and then jovially introduced herself, "Hi my name's Anna. It's nice to meet you. I'm new here this year. I was wondering if you might know where the fencing room is. I'd much appreciate the help."
The platinum blonde stared at Anna flatly and coldly replied, "No and even if I did I wouldn't show you."
Anna was taken aback. "Excuse me," Anna sassed annoyed, "That wasn't very nice. You might end up hurting someone's feelings." The other girls started snickering and whispering amongst themselves. Anna was getting ready to give the group a thorough chewing out until a big blonde guy came up and said,
"Hey, I know where the fencing club is follow me." Anna didn't miss the urgency in the guy's voice so she followed, not before sticking her tongue out at the group of girls. She could have sworn she also saw a faint smile on the platinum blonde's face.
After the rounded a corner the guy stopped and turned to face Anna. "You're obviously new here. My name's Kristoff, it's a pleasure to meet you." The blonde said kindly holding out his hand.
Anna shook it firmly replying, "I'm Anna, it's a pleasure to meet you as well Kristoff. Why were you so rushed to get me away from them girls? Just so we're clear and to avoid future incidents, I swing for the other team you know? I like girls so don't be getting any ideas."
Kristoff laughed and smiled saying, "You're not one for shyness are you. I like that, and don't worry. There's no way I would have an interest in you. I swing for the other team as well."
Anna beamed and happily spoke, "Wow that's awesome. I've never had a gay friend before." Kristoff smiled weakly and the pair resumed their walk.
"Those girls are trouble, let's just leave it there."
Anna snorted saying, "I ain't afraid of them. What are they going to do? Be rude? Call me names? Maybe they need hugs."
Kristoff burst into a laughing fit and stopped in front of a door saying, "Here we are." Anna bowed her head gratefully.
"Thank you..." She started, "Hey do you fence?"
Kristoff nodded and asked, "Yeah, Are you any good?"
"Maybe... you'll have to spar with me if you want to find out." Anna teased stepping into the class room.
Anna expertly got into sparring gear and picked up a foil and swung a few times. "Meh, this will do I guess." She said dryly and stepped onto the mat waiting for Kristoff. Kristoff wasn't far behind as he stood in front of Anna brandishing his foil. Anna gave her signature bow before taking stance. Kristoff took his stance and both counted down from three.
"Three... two... em garde!" The two began a dance of their foils which moved like blurs as they fought. Anna felt so natural when fencing, it just felt right. When Anna fenced it wasn't a sport, it was a dance, an artwork.
Her body movement, her speed, her grace, her skill, it all came together to make a show that few could fail to appreciate. The two decided on a best three out of five for their spar. Anna was the first to score, then Kristoff, then Anna, and then Kristoff. Whoever won the next point got game. Kristoff seemed to be wearing down a bit and so was Anna. It had been forever since either had fenced, and it was beginning to show in their dance. Kristoff began with an onslaught of attacks that Anna barely managed to defend. After a few minutes of his attacks, they began to slow and Anna got a chance. She thrust her foil forward the same time as Kristoff. Each foil connected with the other person's shoulder simultaneously.
"I vote we call it a draw," Anna said with a pant. Kristoff agreed and the two shook hands as they pulled off their face masks. Anna glanced at the door seeing the platinum blonde standing there watching them quietly. Anna could see a couple of her friends standing there as well. Kristoff followed Anna's gaze and gulped turning away quickly. Anna cocked an eyebrow and her look was returned with a flat stare. The platinum blonde turned around leaving the room along with the other two girls. "What's her name?" Anna asked looking at Kristoff. "Elsa, Elsa Arendelle. Her family basically owns the school. Not someone I'd want on my bad side."
