CHAPTER 5 - Friends?

"Elsa!" Jack jogged while trying to keep up with Elsa who was walking fast. He looked at her confusingly when she passed the Science Laboratory. They had the same class after lunch; Chemistry. "Uhh, hey, you just passed the Science Lab."

"Who says I'm going to Science Lab?" Elsa replied, still walking fast.

"Where are you going then?" Jack asked when he finally caught up.

Elsa slightly chuckled. "Hello? Detention?"

"Oh...uhm, yeah right." Jack scratched the back of his head absentmindedly. "Uhh, thanks anyway...for what you did back there."

Elsa paused and smiled at him before she continued walking. "No problem, aren't you going to class?"

"Nah. It's first day of school, its fine." He said while grinning. "So is it true?"

Elsa raised one eyebrow at him. "What?"

"You were kicked out at your school because you punched a jerk?" He asked and Elsa stopped walking and laughed loudly. "What's funny?" He looked at her weirdly.

"Seriously, dude!" Elsa snorted. "Of course not! It was just...a punch line." She held Jack's shoulder. "Do you really think that a school would kick you out just because you punched someone? No, no. They would just...suspend you in days or something."

"Oh." Jack sighed in relief. "So...why did you do it? Why did you help me?"

"I told you." Elsa stopped laughing but still smiling at him and now they continued walking. "I don't like seeing someone being bullied."

"But why?" Jack asked again and Elsa furrowed her eyebrows.

"Seriously, you like seeing someone being bullied?"

Jack shook his head. "No, but...you're different, you stood out for me while everyone else just...shrug it off."

"No, they don't." Elsa scoffed. "They're scared of Pitch...just wonder why."

Jack became silent and Elsa just looked at him curiously. Something about this Pitch interests her and she wants to find it out. Why is everyone afraid of him? She wonders.

It wasn't long until they reached the library where Elsa would stay for two hours. "You should go to Science class then. I'll be fine." Elsa reassured Jack but he shook his head.


"I'll go with you." He said. "Besides, we're now friends right?"
