Rain Fall

Chapter 1 - Rain (I)

Elsa sat at the back of the classroom. Her chin resting on the palm of her hand as she watched the rain fall. She pulled her gaze from the gray skies and back to her book. Her literature teacher allowed the last fifteen minutes of class to be used as study hall, but Elsa was already done with her paper and had left the rest of her homework in her locker. She tapped her pencil quietly on the desk as she skimmed the book she finished during lunch.

RING!

Elsa stood up, listening attentively as her teacher shouted last minute reminders. She gave her instructor a small smile and entered the busy halls of Arendelle High.

"Elsa!" Anna called down the hall, pushing her way through the crowds of students.

Elsa smiled at the sight of her sister. She waited a few seconds until her the strawberry-blonde reached her. "Hey, Anna. How were your classes?"

"Good," Anna smiled as she caught her breath. Elsa opened her locker and pulled out her white raincoat. "Kristoff asked if I wanted to grab a cup of hot chocolate before going home. Will it be OK if I go?"

Elsa smiled, noticing the slight blush on her sister's face. Kristoff had been Anna's best friend since middle school and Elsa was suspecting that Anna was slowly developing a crush on him. "Sure. I'll be home a little later. I'm going to the library to do some research. Just stay dry, will you?"

Anna nodded her head with a smile. "I have my raincoat."

"What happened to your umbrella?" Elsa frowned as she pulled out her own light blue umbrella from her locker.

"Oh. I-um-lost it?" Anna said with a weak smile and a nervous laugh. "I forgot to put it in my locker and brought it to my first class, then to my second, and third. Well, I think I had it with me during biology or was that history?"

"Oh Anna," Elsa said with a small smile as she closed her locker. She turned and handed the umbrella over to her sister.

"I can't take your umbrella Elsa. What about you?" Anna said with a frown as she held the umbrella in her hands.

"I'll be fine. Just stay dry," Elsa reassured as she pulled the collar up on Anna's green raincoat.

"Thanks Els. You too," Anna said with a smile. "I'll see you at dinner time. I love you." The strawberry-blonde nearly singing the affectionate phrase.

"I love you too," Elsa waved with a smile as Anna dashed off.

Elsa frowned as she stepped out of Arendelle High, it was still raining. If anything it seemed to be raining more. She was hoping it would have died down by now. The platinum blonde frowned as she pulled her hood over her head and tighten her raincoat around her. Snow she could do. Rain on the other hand, being soaking wet always made her feel cold.

Taking a deep breath, Elsa prepared to step into the rain for the ten minute walk home. She was so focused on the falling droplets she didn't notice the umbrella over her head until she realized she wasn't getting hit with rain drops.

She peered from under her hood.

"Hey," a bright smile and icy blue eyes greeted her.

"Um, hi" Elsa said with a blush, stopping, recognizing the face immediately.

"I'm-"

"Jack, I know," Elsa found herself saying as he let out a chuckle. She flushed realizing she practically interrupted him. "Sorry." She mumbled.

"Yeah, how did you know?" he asked curiously with a tilt of his head and a smile.

"You're the hockey star of our school. A little hard not to know," Elsa answered truthfully as she glanced down at her wet boots to avoid eye contact. The rain drops were splattering all over the pavement.

"Elsa, right?"

She glanced back up at him. "You know my name?" Her eyes looked at him in a bit of a surprise.

Jack chuckled quietly as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Yeah." He looked out towards the rain and changed the subject before she could ask. "The rain is really coming down, huh?"

"Yeah," Elsa said as she followed her gaze. The wind began picking up, sending the drops of rain toward them.

"I'll walk you home," Jack offered as he titled the umbrella toward the rain, shielding them from the drops.

"You don't have to. I'll be fine," Elsa declined. She felt her cheeks warm at the gesture. Jack had to be one of the hottest and popular guys at Arendelle, she was still getting over the fact that he even knew her name.

"And drenched," Jack pointed out with slight frown. He stepped a little closer to shelter her from the oncoming rainfall. "How far do you live?"

"Just 10 minutes away, but you really don't have to," Elsa insisted as she gripped the straps of her backpack.

"My mom would probably kill me if she found out I let a girl walk home in this storm. Come on," Jack said in a way that sounded like it was a statement and not an offer.

Elsa bit her lip but began walking. "Thanks."

"What were you doing still at school?" Jack asked as they crossed the street. Their shoulders occasionally bumping against one another.

"I was doing some homework in the library," Elsa answered, catching his smile from the corner of her eye. "You?"

"Hockey practice," Jack replied as he glanced at her. "Have you ever been to a game?"

Elsa felt her face flush. "Um, no." She tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear out of nervousness. Arendelle High was well known for their hockey team and majority of the student body attended the games. "Sorry."

Jack laughed, earning her gaze. "You have nothing to apologize for. I was simply making conversation, Elsa." He gave her a reassuring smile to prove his point. Elsa gave him a small smile in return and their conversation fell silent as they passed several houses.

"You should consider it though," Jack said as they stepped off the curb and onto the crosswalk.

"Excuse me?" Elsa asked in confusion as she peered under her hood at him. "Consider . . ?"

"Attending a hockey game," Jack smiled as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Oh," Elsa found herself responding. Social events were never really her thing. She was naturally an introvert which was a contrast to Anna who was an extravert at best. Anna had already attended several hockey games, one of the reasons being that their school was currently undefeated and the other being that Kristof was on the JV Team.

"It was just a suggestion, you don't have to—" Jack began to ramble and she noticed the slight frown on his face as he did.

"I'll think about it," Elsa interrupted, which earned a smile from the hockey player.

"Yeah?" Jack smiled causing Elsa to laugh quietly to herself. "Cool."

The two juniors continued their walk down the street. Their conversation filled with just the sound of the rain falling unto the umbrella and sidewalk. While Elsa was content with the silence, she sifted through her mind for something to say, but this was Jackson Overland. She was entirely unsure what he would want to talk about.

Her efforts were stopped as they approached a familiar white two-story house. She slowed down her steps and spun to face him.

Jack nodded toward the house. "Is this your house?" He inched the umbrella toward her, to cover her more from the rain than himself.

Elsa glanced back at her home and nodded with a smile. "You really didn't have to walk me home but thank you. I really appreciate it."

"Anytime," Jack said as he turned toward her house. "I'll walk you to your door."

Elsa opened her mouth to decline but stopped when she realized Jack was insisting and not just offering. She followed him in step and felt her cheeks warm. She was glad her parents were not home or Anna for that matter. They would be very curious as to why a boy was walking her home.

"Thank you again Jack," Elsa said as she slipped a backpack strap off and dug for a key in her bag.

"It was nice walking you home, Elsa," Jack replied, as Elsa felt herself blush just as she slipped the key into the lock. She glanced at him from the corner of eye, he was smiling. "I'll see you at school."

Elsa could barely give him a proper reply before he began making his way down the driveway and onto the sidewalk. He gave her a wave before disappearing back down the street from where they came from.

Elsa managed a wave and a smile just as he gave her one last glance. She pushed her front door opened and was completely at lost at what rain fall could bring her.
