I get dressed, and leave me room I take a glance at the lounge and he's gone. Pfft. Good. He would ruin his plan of getting caught if he stayed on the floor a bit longer.

I turn to the dining table and sitting there is a bunch of cans of fish and a packet of crackers.

Did Jack leave them here?

I stuff them in my bag and quickly depart from my house, why would he do that for me?

The dude is weird.

I walk outside and down the concrete path where I see Hiccup waiting for me. My eyes widen. Oh no.

"Hiccup. How long have you been waiting here?" I ask him.

"Uh- about 5 minutes ago." He answers.

I sigh relieved, thank the heavens.

"Don't come any earlier next time, you know I come late." I tell him.

"Yeah, sure." He responds, "By the way Elsa let's go to your place after school."

"Don't come to my apartment anymore." I bluntly tell him.

"What?"

"Don't come. There are multiple reasons why I don't want you to come visit anymore." I state.

"What reasons?" He asks, getting all curious.

"Please do not dig into this! Do not try to investigate! I just solely don't want anyone to visit anymore. If you were my best friend you would respect that." I simply tell him.

Hiccup looks shocked, but his face saddens and nods, "... Okay. But if you were my best friend you would tell me why."

I didn't want to lie to Hiccup. Or give him this wild situation of why he shouldn't visit, he would probably find a way around it.

So I wanted to use trust instead, and hopefully respect my wishes. I am not directly lying to him, so I might feel better.

I'm sorry Hiccup for not valuing you as a friend more. But this will be the only time my job interferes with my friendship.

Hiccup inhales and exhales deeply, "... It is great you're coming back to school again."

"It's inevitable." I respond.

"I visited your family, two days ago. Anna seems to be struggling with all the training to become the successor." He reports to me.

"... She brought it onto herself, she wanted this." I say.

"Anna cares about you. She's very worried."

"... Is that so? Anna barely comes to mind, unless you bring her up." I say bluntly.

"..."

Anna betrayed me once she volunteered to become the person to run the corporation. We both promised to live free lives and be free of the corporation. Anna wasn't even remotely interested in managing and finance.

Anna was the one who advised me to start a new life. And pave my own path. Why is she walking on one that has already been paved?

... I don't understand anything. But I don't need to understand, Anna has made it clear to me.

I see an enthusiastic Rapunzel waving in the distance next to her is Jack. Of course. But did we form a clique or something? It's fine in terms of business but personally ... blergh.

We approach each other and Hiccup has a smile on his face, "Good morning both of you."

"Morning." They both respond.

"... So how was your sleep Elsa?" Jack asks with I assume is an evil smirk. Is he trying to crack me? Tease me?

I smirk back, "My sleep was lovely, best I've had in a while. How about you Jack?"

"Same as you." He answers, his smirk still remains.

"Oh really?" My smile grows wider, "I thought you would of had a hard time sleeping ... sleeping over all of that guilt."

Rapunzel and Hiccup look lost.

"Did something happen?" Rapunzel asks innocently.

"No!" Jack exclaims, "Poverty makes people crazy you know ..."

... This is too easy, I will wait till his secret becomes older and more of a secret then reveal it. Hah.

"That's rude Jack!" Rapunzel exclaims.

"Your relationship reminds me of a mother and son relationship rather than lovers." I tell them.

Rapunzel plays with her awkwardly, "I-I guess so ..." She mutters.

"That's not true ... I mean what would Elsa know?" Jack argues, "She has no mother to prove that."

"Hey!" Hiccup yells at Jack, "That was pathetic!"

Jack is right so I don't know how to argue with him. I am not particularly mad because that was a stupid insult. But he went there ...

"It was just a joke Jack!" Rapunzel says, "You didn't have to say that!"

I don't like this environment. The environment where everything is on me. With people arguing till I speak up.

"It's fine," I tell them and I capture sll over their attention and I force a smile, "My mother is gone ... what would I know?"

Everyone looks at me with wide eyes, especially Jack he looks particularly stunned.

The bell rings and I simply mutter to them, "Don't stare. It's scary." And I arrive to class before them.

I sigh. The last thing I want to do is go all emotional with them. Share my feelings and talk about my past, that stays locked even with Hiccup. And Jack saying that about my mother kind of threatened that.

... Jack is really dangerous.
