A/N: Welcome to my first ever short story. How many chapters you ask? Less than ten haha.
I don't own Frozen, the characters, or the majestic sport that is Track &Field. So please, enjoy
The world of Track and Field can be both a beautiful and dangerous place. You can either make the best of friends, or the worst of enemies. But the fun is there and only a small percentage are willing to enter that world. But one high school team thrived on the air of competition. And they were the Arendelle High School Track Team. Home of the Arendelle Stags. And while they held an air of casualty talking about their day as they did their laps, or stretches. Their captain, did not hold such casualty. And at the moment, she was taking her daily warm up laps with her older brother. She was discussing a very important matter with him.
"Listen sis, she's like a wild mare! And even if she does play for your team, she probably wouldn't be interested. According to my sources, she is not interested in anyone. " A boy said. He was an average heighted boy, with a lithe figure and a care-free attitude. He had short, spiked white hair and pale blue eyes. He was wearing a pair of brown running shorts and a dark blue hoodie that concealed a brown wife beater.
"Please Jack, I am the captain of the Track Team, not to mention a beauty to look at, and believe me, any horse can be tamed, you just need to know how to break them." A girl, with snow blonde hair and ice blue eyes practically purred. She too had a lithe form but her body had extravagant feminine features, including hypnotizing hips. She wore white running shorts and a light blue tank top. Her hair in a messy braid that was currently swinging behind her.
"If you really are serious about her, fine, but I am not getting involved! I just hope you're prepared for rejection and a possible beating." Jack said with a smirk as they finished their warm up laps around the rubber track. Around them were other track and field team members. The coach was getting the needed implements for today's practice.
"What kind of brother are you? Anyway she won't reject me" the blonde said with a growing confidence. Suddenly a new voice bounced through the crowd.
"Hey Anna race you around the track!" it belonged to Kristoff, one of the team's fielders. He was a large sandy blonde boy with a gentle disposition.
"You're so on reindeer boy!" an excited female voice called. Suddenly two figures started to run. The smaller of the two was a strawberry blonde girl with one misplaced white streak in her hair. They were done into twin braids that sat on both of her toned shoulders. She also had many freckles on her face and shoulders. And she had ocean blue eyes, which at the moment, burned with a fiery determination. That, was Anna Stone, the object of the Captain's affection. Now Anna was a fielder like Kristoff, and the only girl. She threw the discus and the javelin. And she was just as aggressive as the boys, sometimes even more so. But she also had speed. The coach wanted her to become a runner, but she said that running was for people who couldn't cut it as fielders. And he never asked her again.
"Man look at her go" Jack whistled clearly impressed. Elsa punched him in the shoulder,
"Don't get any ideas Jack, I saw her first!" she growled, her ice blue eyes narrowing dangerously. However as she glanced back to watch the two fielders run, from the end of the three hundred meter mark, she saw that Anna had glanced her way. So the captain gave her a seductive wink and wave of her fingers. But, not to the captain's surprise, Anna rolled her eyes and continued to run. And the blonde was so focused on the red head that she almost didn't hear what her brother said. But when it registered, she hit him.
"Ow! Jeez Elsa calm down, you can have her! Tooth would kill me if I even looked at another girl!" Jack said with a wince as he rubbed his shoulder. Elsa just huffed.
"Keep it that way! Now let's stretch a bit more, coach told me we're gonna have a rough practice today" Elsa warned. This made Jack snort,
"When isn't practice rough?" he then began to touch his toes, Elsa copying his motion.
"Hey Elsa was checking you out again" Kristoff chortled as they started their second lap. Anna looked at her jogging partner and rolled her eyes. She wanted to say something, but talking while jogging was not always the best idea. To Anna talking meant wasting precious air.
"I'm telling you, she likes you Anna" Kristoff said between breathes. And for the second time, the strawberry blonde rolled her eyes. She was aware of Elsa's "affections" for her. The stares, the winks she would get in the halls during school. But Anna did not appreciate them. And what she hated the most, was Elsa's smirks. Whenever they made eye contact, or accidentally bumped into each other. Elsa would give her this smug little smirk, and for some reason it rubbed her the wrong way.
"I know she was, I saw her too" Anna panted as they finished their last lap. The rest of the team was beginning their stretches, so the duo quickly joined them.
"Well, why not give her a shot, she hasn't left you alone since Regionals last year" Kristoff pointed out as he pulled up his right leg to stretch his quads. Anna was stretching her biceps.
"Not a chance in hell" Anna said with a sigh as she switched arms. Kristoff hummed in thought, before a smirk crept onto his face.
"Didn't you say that high school was hell on earth?" Kristoff asked with nonchalance. Anna, who was barely paying attention to him responded with,
"Huh? Yeah sure" before pulling her right leg behind her and pulling gently.
"So, you will give the captain a chance then?" he asked.
"Yeah I gue- hold up, NO! I won't! Don't use my words against me! Besides, you know how she is, she flirts with every girl who looks her way! And don't get me started on when she tries to flirt with me! She thinks that just because she's hot that she can get away with unwanted flirtation!" Anna exclaimed as she put her leg down and glared up at him.
"You do realize that you just called Elsa hot right? Cuz you totally did." He pointed out before he started to laugh. But Anna knocked him down as she blushed.
"I-I'm going to do another lap!" Anna declared before sprinting back onto the track, running like a thoroughbred horse. Leaving poor Kristoff on the ground laughing. After his laughing fit, he saw a pale hand had been offered to him. When he looked up, he saw that it belonged to the captain herself.
"What happened there?" she asked with light concern, Kristoff was a sturdy boy, so the fall didn't actually hurt.
"Oh just the usual teasing, she's in major denial about her crush, nothing new" Kristoff said with a shrug. Elsa's brows rose in intrigued curiosity.
"Is that so? Maybe I can help?" Elsa offered with a not so innocent smile, clearly holding something behind it. When Elsa heard that Anna potentially played for her team, she began to up her game. However, Anna shot down her advances. But she wouldn't give up, she was determined to claim Anna as her own.
"And who would that someone be? Perhaps I could be of assistance?" Elsa grinned teasingly.
"Please, I've seen the looks you give Anna in the halls, I'm pretty sure you'd try and scare her off if I told you" Kristoff shot back swiftly. He and Elsa got along fairly well, something that Anna did not know.
"Care if I take a guess?" Elsa asked with a challenging grin. Kristoff mirrored her expression, but before Elsa could begin guessing, their coach had arrived.
"Alright team, today we're. ." but he stopped. His vision scanned his team, and they narrowed. Someone was not accounted for.
"Ms. Frost!" the man said expectantly. Elsa walked up to him, but left a respectable amount of space between them.
"Yes sir?" Elsa asked.
"Where is Ms. Stone?" he asked. The man was not one for absent athletes, especially his athletes.
"I believe she's finishing an extra lap sir" Elsa said coolly as she pointed at the approaching strawberry blonde. The coach beamed with pride,
"Anna my girl, going the extra mile I see, well done" he complimented. Confused, Anna just nodded before returning back to Kristoff's side. Elsa however stayed put.
"Now as I was saying, we are heading into Districts next Wednesday, and you know exactly who will be waiting for us" the man called out. Many of the kids snorted or growled. Anna glared. She knew who exactly who he was talking about. Their school rivals, the Atlantica Tridents. They had been at each other's throats for nearly fifteen years.
"But don't you all worry, we'll make sure they find their place, second place" he laughed. A vast majority of the team joined him. Once the laughter quieted down, the man continued.
"But in order to keep them there, we must practice, which is why, everything we normally do during the day, will be doubled for the rest of the week." The coach said. A chorus of groans were heard.
"I don't want to hear it. This means, sprinters, you do four sets of twenty on those sprinting exercises. Fielders, you have open gym today, jumpers, you have legs. Long distance runners and the relay teams, you know what to do, get moving!" he shouted. The whole team divided up now. The fielders and jumpers headed back towards the school, they had the weight room today. Anna and all of the bigger boys started walking off. Anna was talking to Hercules, one of the better throwers. They shared a boastful laugh. Elsa however, was checking out the rear view of Anna's retreating form. Just as she was about to turn and go work out with the other runners, the coach said,
"Elsa, I need you to watch the fielders until they come back outside, give them an hour" he yelled. Eyes immediately lighting up with mischief and glee, Elsa gave the coach the thumbs up before jogging to catch up with the fielders. This day couldn't get any better!
"This day couldn't get any worse" Anna grunted as she started her final set of squats. Kristoff, who was watching her from the side chuckled,
"Personally I would be flattered, if Elsa was giving me looks like she's giving you, especially while working out, I would talk to her" Anna rolled her eyes. Ever since Elsa informed her and the rest of the fielders and jumpers that she was to watch their practice today, Anna's irritation had grown. And Kristoff was no help.
"Well then you can go flirt with her, do something! I can feel her staring at me!" Anna growled as she came up from her last squat in the set. She put the heavily weighted bar back on the rack before moving onto her next workout set. She had bench press next. And boy did she feel that she needed it today. She claimed a bench as she put her usual weight on the bar. Did she need a spotter? Over her dead body, it was only one hundred and thirty five pounds, it was a standard weight for any of the fielders. It's light weight to her. Suddenly Elsa's voice carried over,
"Anna! Where is your spotter?" Anna merely rolled her eyes and proceeded to pump iron. All the fielders knew that Anna never needed or wanted a spotter. However, Elsa, after a moment, now stood behind the bench and kept her hands at the ready.
"Go . . . . Away!" Anna rasped between each push. However, Elsa refused to leave. She would hate to have one of her teammates injured. Yet, as she watched Anna press the bar, she couldn't help but notice how her muscles rippled and flexed with effort. And to Elsa, nothing looked more delicious.
"Well Anna, I never noticed how strong you are" she said her voice lowering. Anna racked up the bar as she sat up.
"You just saw me bench didn't you? Now let me explain something to you since you obviously don't know" Anna said as she stood up and walked towards Elsa, a fiery look in her blue eyes. The blonde smirked as the shorter girl came face to face with her. Well, nose to forehead since Anna was significantly shorter than the Captain.
"Yes?" Elsa purred. But that just seemed to irritate Anna more. Much to the blonde's amusement.
"When I come in here, I come to work, and when I work, I. Don't. Need. Help." Anna said emphasizing the last four words. Elsa simply smirked,
"Very well, I'll keep that in mind" she then kissed the bridge of Anna's nose. Anna's eyes widened and a blush erupted onto her face. It was a bold move on Elsa's part, but its part of the thrill of the ride to her.
"W-What the hell Frost!" Anna yelled as Elsa walked away, swaying her hips in the process, all while glancing back at Anna. And the poor red-head was shaking with some kind of foreign emotion and irritation. All of the boys, who had stopped to watch Elsa and Anna's encounter all stared. However Anna would not have that, she hated attention.
"What the hell are you losers lookin at? Mind your own damn business!" Anna shouted. And immediately they all kept working. However Kristoff came up to her. Anna then punched his shoulder.
"OW! What the hell Stone!?" Kristoff exclaimed as he rubbed his now, guaranteed to be bruised, shoulder. Anna looked up at him, a glare on her freckled face.
"What do you mean what was that for?! You were supposed to keep her away from me!" Anna snarled. Kristoff raised both hands up in surrender,
"Hey in my defense, I wanted to see what happened." Kristoff said before laughing, that earned him another punch in the shoulder.
"Augh! Same spot!" Kristoff cried out.
"Shut up that's what you get!" Anna yelled before going back to the bench. She had to vent this frustration before she killed someone.
The next time Anna saw Elsa was in the school courtyard, where Anna ate her lunch with Kristoff and a few other of the field boys. She was wearing her favorite sleeveless, grey, Adidas hoodie. She had a black tank top underneath. She was also wearing a pair of jeans, and her favorite pair of Adidas shoes. Her hair was in its usual twin braids that day and at the moment, she was griping to herself about the previous day in the gym.
"Just great, thanks to blondie's stunt my arms burn like a mother- effer! And I have javelin today, man it's gonna suck!" Anna sighed exasperatedly as she slumped against the concrete table she was sitting at. And for a while she stared at the tiny crevices in the table. And the next thing she knew, she was thinking about the kiss that Elsa had given her.
"It was kind of nice" she thought as a blush warmed her freckled cheeks. But as soon as the thought passed, a picture of Elsa giving her that irritating, flirtatious, smirk popped into her mind.
"Augh! Anna what are you thinking! You know you don't like her!" Anna scolded herself.
"You don't like who?" a new voice asked. Anna froze, she recognized the voice as she turned to see Elsa looking down at her, a clearly amused look written on her face.
"N-None of your business Frost" Anna shot back. And this caused Elsa to raise a brow,
"That's Captain Frost, but I'll make an exception for you since you're so cute" Elsa purred; making Anna blush.
"Please don't, so what do you want captain?" Anna asked putting heavy sarcasm on Elsa's title whilst crossing her arms across her chest expectantly.
"Oh, the coach gave me the bus roster for next Wednesday. I was going to tell everyone during practice, but since you're already here, I decided to tell you now" Elsa said pulling out a piece of paper.
"What do you mean roster? Coach always lets us sit with whoever we want." Anna said, her voice filling with slight confusion and growing suspicion. But Elsa shook her head,
"I understand, but coach said something about looking professional. If you disagree take it up with him" Elsa said with a shrug. Anna stared for a moment before letting out a dragging sigh.
"No, just tell me who I'm sitting with, but I swear if it's Gaston, I can't be held responsible for my actions again!" Anna warned. But the blonde merely chuckled,
"I think he learned his lesson the first time, but no, it's not him, you'll be sitting with me" Elsa grinned. Anna felt her right eye twitch,
"I'd rather sit with Gaston" Anna stated bluntly. Elsa than gave her a pout,
"Aw, am I that terrible? I don't bite. . . . Unless you ask me too" Elsa smiled wickedly as she gave Anna a look through half lidded eyes. And for some reason it made Anna blush. Especially since Elsa was now leaning over the concrete table and was dangerously close to Anna's blushing face.
"G-Get away from me-AH!" Anna exclaimed as she scrambled from the table, but she took a sudden fall when her left foot got caught on the underside of the chair top. Twin braids flew into Anna's vision as she landed on her back. She whimpered slightly as she felt a dull twinge in her ankle.
"Anna! Are you okay? Let me help you!" Elsa said with great concern and urgency. Running to Anna's aid. However, Anna, who seemed to be both mad and embarrassed, got up herself. And as she stood, she was surprised by Elsa's tone. She sounded really concerned. Like she actually cared. And not like how she usually acted.
"What am I thinking? Snap out of it stone!" she thought.
"Just stop! I can handle myself just fine!" Anna said through gritted teeth as she put weight on her left ankle. She was struck with an undeniable pain. But she did not want Elsa to see her as weak. Or any of the other students who had taken refuge outside today.
"Look, thanks for the effort, but I'm fine" Anna said. But Elsa knew better, she stared at Anna's ankle, and saw the scratches and slight swelling. Anna was hurt.
"Anna, your ankle is swelling up, you aren't even putting all your weight on it! We need to go to the nurse and get you looked at." Elsa said, her concern growing all the more.
"I said I'm fine!" Anna insisted, even though she knew Elsa was right. And then for a moment, Elsa's face went completely placid. This made Anna raise a questioning brow.
"What?" Anna asked.
"Very well, if you're not as hurt as you say, walk around the table" Elsa challenged. Anna mulled over the challenge, but she didn't like the odds at hand. But, she was not one to turn down a challenge.
"If I do this, will you go away?" Anna asked. Elsa gave a simple nod.
"Alright then" Anna said as she began to walk, only to wince harshly and end up falling to her knee.
"Uh huh, that's what I thought, come on I'm taking you to the nurse" Elsa said as she walked to where Anna was and helped her up.
"G-Get away from me!" Anna stumbled out, and suddenly she wasn't on the ground anymore. Elsa had picked her up bridal style.
"Put me down!" Anna demanded, even though she had not moved an inch.
"Not a chance Ms. Stone, if you have an injury, than you must have it checked out" Elsa said with an air of authority. And it only made Anna roll her eyes. This blonde was ridiculous.
