Chapter 32

Elsa's POV

School was... I don't know whether to call it awkward or great with Jack. I keep telling myself to just set myself free, but the other side of me says otherwise. Yes, I admit, I really like Jack, or love I should say, but somehow, half of me just can't take it and I have no idea why! I am all ready to accept it, but the opportunity doesn't seem right sometimes.

Anyway, I'll be spending the rest of the day with Jack in his house. Who knows what he has in store. Hopefully this chance will change me, cause I want to change! Perhaps it is about time I break that promise I made years ago. Let love come whenever it wants. I don't usually break promises, but hey, things are different.

I didn't mean to make Jack that pissed with the break time scene just now. You can blame other me for that. Punzie told me about it and it made me feel bad. I wouldn't want Jack to have such a grudge on me. I understand his anger. I'll make it up to him, somehow. Perhaps later at his house is the perfect chance.

The girls told that Jack was flirting but I don't really see it. Were those words really meant for flirting? If so, I am quite dumb, aren't I? Heck, I don't know much anyway. I need a lot of work in stuff like this.

Anna has been, Anna. Being the usual busybody, asking me random stuff and literally ordering me to be with Jack. Seriously, I'm trying, don't put so much pressure will ya?! But she just won't listen, she never does actually. I'm well aware on what she wants, just have some patience for goodness sake.

Astrid have me a little advice, but to be honest, I have no idea what is she talking about. Evan did the same thing and it was pretty much the exact same result.

"Elsa, you really need to let yourself go." Evan said. "It's as if you're shutting yourself out."

"Am I?" I asked. 

"From the situation, kinda." Evan nodded.

"You seem to know a lot about love." I crossed my arms, quite fed up with this conversation. 

"You know more from... Experience." Evan sighed. 

"What?!" I exclaimed, not being able to believe it. "You... Dated before?"  

"Yeah, I don't see why you should react like that." Evan said. "It just didn't go very well."

All of a sudden, I was attracted to know all about this. "Mind telling what happened?"

"In my previous, previous school, aka 2 schools before this. There was this really super popular girl, her name was Scarlett. She was very beautiful, cute, funny, smart... I had always admired, or had a crush on her to be precise. We were friends but not very close, like we just know each other. Anyway, since Scarlett was the most popular girl in school, of course majority of the boys all liked her. She can be bossy or mean sometimes, but I just liked her the way she was. I never told her that I liked her since I was scared of what would happen. She never noticed my existence. Months became a year, I still liked her. Then one day, she told that she liked me. I couldn't believe what I was hearing, Scarlett asked if she could be my girlfriend. I was so shocked that I couldn't say anything. We then dated, hung out more, of course there were a lot of boys that were jealous. I loved Scarlett and I was very happy. After a few months, on my birthday actually, she told me to close my eyes as she had a surprise in the school hall. I did so, until my head was suddenly drenched. I opened my eyes, everyone in the hall was laughing at me, Scarlett as well. "Happy birthday Evan! Hoped you liked that prank. Look everybody, Evan here, thought that I was in love with him, how foolish! To think I would ever like a guy like that?" She laughed. I was heartbroken when I knew the truth, Scarlett didn't love me at all, she just pretended to just to see how stupid and naive I was and-"  

"Evan," I finally said. "I don't mean to cut in, but how in the world is this advice?! Your story is more like telling me NOT to date anyone! And I'm sorry about what happened with you and Scarlett. I didn't know you went through that much."

"Yes, yes I'm well aware the story isn't what you wanna hear, that's why I said it didn't end very well!" Evan replied. "Anyway, after that, I moved on, then I got transferred again. This time, I met another girl, she wasn't popular like Scarlett."

"Hold on, you dated twice?" I asked in disbelief.

"Believe it or not, yes. And I really miss her ever since transferring to here." Evan sighed. "Pristine was her name. I'm just gonna skip everything, don't wanna bore you."

"I'm listening." I nodded. 

"Now with Pristine, she and I were really... You know. We really liked each other. And that was when I truly knew more with loving someone, it gave me a once in a lifetime feeling. My point is, Elsa, you don't have to feel scared loving someone, accept it, and if that person is the right one, in which Jack is obviously the right one, don't question it, you will have the moment of a lifetime." Evan explained. 

"Oh." Was all I could say. I didn't know Evan's past was so sad, times must have been tough for him then. All the words are still processing in my mind right now. Accept it, those words kept repeating.

"You ok?" Evan asked, worried.

"Of course." I nodded. 

"Come on, I'll send you home, I think I wasted enough of your time already. Besides, you got a little date with Jack." Evan teased. "Don't wanna be late!"

I smiled. "Sure thing."

Thought I put in a little bit on Evan's past
