"This stupid school assembly better not last more than ten minutes." Moana says as we enter the gym. Moana and I have been close friends for a while. She moved to our school freshman year and easily fit in.

"Why?" I ask as we climb the bleachers. "I want this to last the next twenty minutes so we can go straight to lunch instead of going back to chemistry."

"Of course the only thing on your mind right now is lunch." She laughs as we take a seat in an open row. The rest of the student body continues to fill up in the gym, rows of students lining the bleachers to wait and see why we were called to this assembly.

"What are we doing? I thought all of the activities for homecoming were over?" I ask, seeing our student counsel standing in the middle of the gym. They're in charge of everything entertaining that happens at this school. Well, organized entertainment.

"Your sister hasn't said anything?" Moana asks, brushing her dark curls behind her ears.

I shake my head. "Elsa is very good at keeping secrets, especially if she knows it's something exciting. And besides, we don't really talk about student council. I think it's because she thinks it'll bore me." I answer, making Moana awe and nod her head. Before she could speak, the sound of a microphone cuts through the air.

"Hey, guys." Jane smiles, giving a soft wave. "Now, we know that homecoming activities are over, but Principal Walt said that we could do one of the activities that had been cut today."

She handed the microphone over to Eric, who earned a few whoops from his friends in the crowd.  "We have a bunch of minute to win it games ready to go. We'll call down a few people from each grade to participate and whichever grade has the most points gets an hour for lunch."

Immediately, everyone starts to murmur. This is an exciting prize considering we only get a half-hour usually. "Who do you think will be called down for our grade?" Moana asks me as they start listing off the freshman who get to participate.

"I don't know. I'm sure they'll pick someone like Rapunzel or Tiana. They're both pretty popular and are talented in pretty much everything they try. It's so not fair how awesome they are." I say.

"True. They'd probably be our best chance at winning." Moana agrees with a smile.

Elsa grabs the microphone, her eyes trained on the list in her hand. "For our juniors, we have Rapunzel Corona, Kristoff Bjorgman, Tadashi Hamada, and Anna Delle." She smiles, her eyes meeting mine.

Me?

"Good luck, Anna!" Moana cheers, giving my arm a quick squeeze. I stand, giving her a nervous smile. "You'll do amazing!" She grins, giving me two thumbs up as I walk down the stairs to go to the center of the gym floor.

My hands are slightly trembling as I make my way down. I think it's because I'm so excited. But, as much as I don't wanna admit, I'm also kind of nervous. I'm going to be playing one of these games in front of the whole student body. If I mess up, it's my fault we didn't win the awesome lunch break.

Suddenly, my side rams into the railing. I let out a gasp, my breath being knocked out of me. "I'm so sorry. I didn't see you there." Kristoff says, gently reaching out to me. Kristoff has been in my grade since elementary school, but we don't really talk. We don't have the same friend group and we're not involved in the same things at school. "Are you okay, Anna?" He asks, his eyebrows furrowed in concern.

"Yeah. I just hit my side on the railing. But I'm all good now." I say, rubbing my side. I have to admit, he's definitely changed over the years. He must have had a growth spurt since I last talked to him because I have to look up to talk to him. And, I can't believe I'm saying this, he is definitely more attractive now than I remember.

He backs up. "You can go first. Again, I'm really sorry." He apologizes, his cheeks flushing as he rubs his hand in his shaggy hair.

"It's all good. Trust me, I'm really clumsy so this isn't the first time I've injured myself and it won't be the last." I ramble as he follows him down the stairs.

We both reach the bottom of the stairs and head over the other people in our grade. The gym is filled with excitement and noise from everyone chattering. I glance over my shoulder, seeing Moana talking to Maui. Though he's a senior, they're both really close and most definitely not dating. They're like best friends.

"Anna, thank goodness you're playing," Rapunzel says, grabbing my arm and my attention. Rapunzel is one of the prettiest girls in school. Her bubbly personality and shimmering blonde attract everyone to her.

"I don't know why. I'm sure Elsa had something to do with it." I say, making her smile and nod her head.

"Well, I'm glad she did. I didn't want to be the only girl down here for this game. I'm not very good at these kinds of games." She chuckles as she twirls her blonde hair around her finger. Her green eyes fall over to the boys in our grade and her smile grows.

"Guys, come here!" She cheers, waving over at them. Rapunzel is one of the girls who is great friends with the boys. She gets along with them super well and she can talk about anything with them. People say it's because the boys have hopes of getting in her pants, but I don't think that's true. Well, I'm sure some of the disgusting boys, but most of them just like her because she's so nice.

Me? I don't get a lot of attention from the boys. I think it's because I'm too loud and just a tad bit crazy. I've always been one of those people who has too much energy to keep doing the same task like sit quietly in my desk. I have to be doing something else too. Like talking. Which, actually, gets me in trouble a lot now that I think of it.

"Boys, we're going to be relying on you two to be doing the heavy work," Rapunzel says, placing her hands on her hips. They immediately shrug their shoulders, glancing at each other.

"We'll do whatever you tell us to do. We just want to win." Tadashi says for the two of them.

"Perfect. I'm glad we're all on the same page." Rapunzel smiles, turning back into her usual self. "I mostly just don't want to lose because otherwise, I embarrassed myself in front of the stupid body for nothing."

"How do we even know if they'll even keep their promise?" Kristoff asks, glancing at the student council.

I look over, seeing Elsa and the others whispering to each other.

"I trust Elsa. She'll live up to her promise." I say, hoping to reassure him. They wouldn't really make us come out here and make a fool of ourselves for nothing. Elsa wouldn't do that to me.

"I trust Elsa, too," Rapunzel says, catching my attention. "She's always been super nice to me and I know that she'll follow through with what she said."

"It's not that I don't trust Elsa, I do." Kristoff pipes up again, slightly flustering. "That's not what I meant. I meant, like President Walt. I'm sure he agreed to it when they asked, but how do we know he won't change his mind? After all, he'll have to make sure all of us juniors are accounted for if we win."

Before any of us could counter him, Jane's voice broke through. "We'll need everyone's first contestant to come to the center of the gym."

"I'm going first." Rapunzel blurts. Noticing how she sounded, she begins to give an excuse. "I just really want to get this over with. I'm nervous."

"Go for it." Tadashi smiles, letting her skip over to the center.

"Huh. I thought this would be something she'd enjoy." I say. Rapunzel has always been one to enjoy quirky games like these. I'm surprised to hear she's the nervous one.

"Our first game is called Shamrock Shake." Elsa introduces. Of course, the game is named after our mascot. We're the leprechauns. I know, tell me how a bunch of little men are scary. Actually, now that I think of it.

"The first person to shake all of the ping-pong balls out of the tissue box taped to their waist gets 3 points for their grades. Second place will get 2 points, third place will get 1 point, and last will get nothing." Elsa explains as the student body quiets down. "Ready? Go." She declares.

Everyone begins cheering on their classmate. Rapunzel is quickly shaking her hips, making the ping-pong balls come flying out. She's really getting into it and she has to be getting close to being down.

"Come on, Rap!" Tadashi cheers, making me jump. "You got this!"

"Yeah, come on, Rapunzel!" Kristoff joins in, cupping his hands around his mouth.

"Way to go, Zel!" I add, not wanting to be the only one not cheering her on. She stops, her hands reaching inside of her box.

"I'm empty!" She shouts, making our class cheer. That was an easy win for us.

She quickly rips off the tissue box and comes racing back to us. "Oh, that was so much fun!" She cheers, nearly jumping into my arms. "I wish I could go again!"

"You did amazing, Rap." Tadashi smiles, gently hitting her shoulder.

"I'm just glad I got us three points. I feel like I did something for our team. I didn't want to let you guys down." She says, brushing her hair out of her face.

"Next, we have a game called bottle to bottle," Elsa says, getting our attention. We missed what places the other grades got, but it's okay. We know we're in the lead right now. "Please have your next contestant come to us."

"I'll go," Tadashi says. "I actually think I've done this before, so I'm hoping it'll be easy." He adds before walking over.

"I hope it's just easy for him. Otherwise, we'll have competition." Kristoff says, gesturing to the other grades.

"For this game, we have four bottles filled to the max with lucky charms. You must tape an empty two-liter bottle to the top and transfer all of the lucky charms into the other bottle. The same rules apply as the last game. Ready? Go!" Elsa says.

Tadashi quickly tapes his bottle to the top and tips it upside down. A few pieces fall, but it's so full that the pieces don't want to budge. He begins shaking the bottles, making a few more fall down. In hopes to aid it, he squeezes the bottle, making more fall out.

"Come on, Tadashi! Use that big brain, dude!" Kristoff shouts. For some reason, that clicks something in his brain and he is able to make the pieces easily flow into his empty bottle.

"Juniors win again!" Jane shouts, getting more whoops from our grade.

After everyone had finished, Elsa took the microphone again. "Since we're running low on time, we need our last two contestants."

Kristoff and I walk over, gathered around the student council. "Which of you want to be wrapped?" Eric asks, making Kristoff and I shoot each other a look. "One of you has to."

"Maybe you should. You're much smaller." Kristoff says, gesturing to himself to me. I shrug my shoulder and nod my head.

"This round is worth double the points," Elsa says, making everyone in the crowd grin. Anyone has a chance of taking the lead and winning then. This is up to us to win for our grade. "The first time to wrap their classmate in all of the toilet paper gets 6 points!"

Kristoff looks down at the toilet paper roll in his hands. Gently, he tears the end off so that he can easily grab it. He looks up at me. "We got this, okay?" He softly smiles. And for some reason, I know we have this in the bag.

"We got this is." I agree, nodding my head.

"Go!" Elsa shouts.

Kristoff immediately hands me the start of the toilet paper roll. He stands beside me, quickly wrapping the paper around me by passing the roll between his two hands and staying still.

Other teams have their classmates running around them and let it wrap them that way, but Kristoff is flying through this. "You're doing great. We're in the lead." I softly say, not wanting to break his level of concentration.

A soft smile breaks onto his face. "It's like this was meant for us." He says as he nears the end of the roll. One student running around their classmate breaks the toilet paper, making them have to grab again and start over with their speed. Before I can tell Kristoff, he backs up, his hands raised with an empty toilet paper roll.

"Juniors win it all!" Elsa cheers, making us all shout in excitement. We won for our team. I jump up and down, my arms tied down to my body. Kristoff starts to walk away, his mind somewhere else.

"Wait, wait. Help me!" I say, hobbling to him.

He stops, his face dropping as he rushes over. "I'm so sorry, Anna. I completely forget you were tied up." He says, helping to rip the toilet paper off of me.

"It's okay now. I was afraid I'd have to walk around like a mummy for the rest of the day." I say, making him smile.

"That would be a sight to see." He chuckles as he rips off the remaining strand. I loosen up my shoulder, letting out a breath I didn't know I was holding. "You know, we made a pretty good team." He says as we follow the student body out of the gym.

"Yeah. We did, didn't we?" I smile, happily marching to lunch.

"Well, I'll see you around, I guess." He says, parting from me in the sea of students. I don't know why, but I don't want him to leave just yet. I want to learn more about him. I want to get to know him.

"Wait!" I call out, shoving through the sea of students to get to him. He waits for me, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Can I have your snap?" I ask, brushing my hair out of my eyes.

"Yeah, sure." He stutters, pulling out his phone. I use my phone to get his username, adding him instantly.

"We should definitely hang out sometime." I smile, holding my phone close to me.

"Yeah. Just snap me or whatever." He shrugs, backing down the hallway.

"Okay," I say. "Bye!" I quickly add before turning around and heading for the lunchroom. Why do I feel so strange right now? Why did I have to be so awkward when I got his snap? He's just a friend.

We just want to be better friends.
