Nine: English Play
Note: For all of the one-shot characters here... Some of you might only be mentioned in the chapter, since I couldn't make up a scene for all of you. I'm really sorry for that, but hey! At least you go to school with Jack and Elsa :3
Video is made by Sveta Haruka of YT. This is my first video from her, and I think the clippings of this vid is marvelous!

ONE MORE THING: EXTENDED CHAPTER! YAY! 1000 MORE WORDS TO READ FOR YOU! :3
Nine: English Play
Elsa
"Okay everyone, we will have a group activity today.", Ms. Peters barked out as she read a clipboard.
She walked past the aisle of desks and read the list aloud, "Mae, Victoria, Rapunzel and err... Eugene.". Two girls at the back squealed.
"Aw, man.", Eugene cried out. "No other man in the group?"
Punzie giggled, "Poor you... At least you got me in your team.".
Eugene rolled his eyes and continued sulking in his seat.
"Next group, Katelyn, Ryan, Alice and Peter."
Alice had a shocked face plastered on her face, "No, no, no, Ms. Peters! You cannot group me with a childish boy like Peter!". The whole class snickered at her crisp British accent, and her tomatoed face.
"You got a problem with that, Allie?", Peter shot back. Alice, with nothing else to say, huffed back and sat down to her seat.
Ms. Peters rolled her eyes and continued with her list, "Next we have Amy, Jacqueline, Elaina and Jeannette."
"YES!", their group did a big high-five. Seems like they were a group of best friends, or something.
"Last group... We have Merida, Hans, Elsa and Jack."
Merida whistled, "Woah... okay... this is going to be weird..."
I glanced at her, trying to make her explain what she just said. She just shrugged and averted her attention to Ms. Peters.
"Okay everyone, you are all tasked to create a play. All plays must be fictional, or based from a book. Each play must be ten to fifteen minutes short. Props would have extra credit.", Ms. Peters paused. "One more thing, you can have your play inspired by a real story or film, and you may also alter the storyline of that inspired story."
I looked back at the other groups who were already whispering plans and stuff. They seemed to have a bunch of ideas already, and I guess my group was currently blank.
"So, what's our play gonna be about?", I asked Jack and Merida as we headed to the cafeteria. Hans wasn't around since he still had a class to take.
"I ain't sure...", Merida murmured. She shot back up, "How about an old age Scottish play?!"
"NO!", Jack and I disagreed in unison. I looked back at him and smiled... If there was one thing that we both disliked, it was archery and all sorts of Scottish traditions.
Jack smirked, "You cannot make me wear a kilt and go step dancing!"
"Err... step dancing is from Ireland.", Merida corrected.
"Still! No Scottish stuff!", he raised his hands up and brought it to his hair. I giggled at them as a few other groups passed us by.
"Hey Elsa!", a girl approached me. She had wild blonde hair with vivid purple streaks.
As my shy usual self, I waved, "Hey... err..."
"Tori, Tori Collins.", she smiled as she held out her hand.
I shook it, "Um... Hi Tori. You're in our English class, right?"
"Yep! You have any ideas yet?", she asked. "Our group has NOTHING yet... But Rapunzel said she could do the props."
"That's great... honestly.", Merida rolled her eyes. She didn't really want company around, and well... nobody could understand her as well.
"Honestly, Peter. If you don't act well in this play, I will certainly call my parents to have a word with you!", Alice cried out.
Peter smirked at the girl, "Oh, shut up, Allie.".
Katelyn dawdled to me, "Help me... My groupmates are a bunch of spoiled brats and mischievous rebels..."
Jack chuckled, "At least Ryan isn't.". He pointed at a freckled boy who sat down beside other Star Wars geeks. "Come on! Let's talk about out play."
"But can't you just try to be one?", Rapunzel whined as we all sat down in one circle table.
Eugene took a bite off his apple, "I cannot act as a prince!"
Hiccup took a seat, "What's this 'prince' thing you're talking about?"
"You see, we have a play for English...", I explained. He mouthed an 'Oh'. Merida pulled him closer and whispered something into his ear. His jaw dropped, "REALLY? That's so awesome!"
Jack
"Really? That's so awesome!", Hiccup said. Merida nodded, and the whole gang seemed to catch up about what she whispered... Everyone except Elsa.
Elsa looked at each of our faces, "Uh, what's the problem?"
"N-nothing!", Rapunzel covered up.
"Merida just told me that you got grouped with-", I cut Hiccup off by kicking his leg underneath the table.
These people are the worst at keeping secrets...
Elsa's face was splashed by a hint of curiosity, "Grouped with... Hans?"
Everyone was silent... Merida huffed her curly red hair to the side...
Certainly that wasn't the correct answer..
"Okay, guys. Enough!", Elsa finally spoke up. "You're keeping something from me, and I want to hear it."
They all looked at me, signaling, "Hey, Jack! Yoohoo~! This ain't our secret."
I pressed my lips into a tight line... I couldn't tell her about this, not yet.
The bell rang just in time.
Ahhh... Saved by the bell! Thank the goddesses!
"Forget it.", Elsa rolled her eyes and picked up her blue bag. "I'm outta here."
"Elsa!", I tried calling out to her. Boy, she was mad about this. She didn't take a second glance back at the table, and she stormed off to her next class.
The whole gang shot me an angry look.
Eugene spoke up, "Seriously, Frost. You gotta do better than that."
I bit my lip... Yeah... I could do something better...
"Shoot!", Merida suddenly yelled. "I forgot my paper for History! Damn, I'm gonna get in trouble."
We all laughed. She placed her hands on her hips, "It ain't funny, guys."
The roar of laughter got louder, and Merida... well, she was too annoyed... She left the cafeteria as well.
Hiccup chuckled, "I better see where she's gone off to. See ya, Jack, Punzie... and err..."
"Eugene.", Eugene rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, okay.", Hiccup shrugged. "Bye."
Elsa
I seriously don't understand what's going on with my friends. It seems like there must be something going on, and I have no idea what it is.
"Elsa!", I turned to see Anna, dragging 'round a tall blonde guy.
He pushed him closer to me, "This is Kristoff."
"Nice to meet you, Kristoff.", I held out my hand. He seemed familiar, though. I guess he has a class with me.
He shook it gingerly, "Uh, we're in the same class right? Uh, Chemistry?"
I really don't remember anything, "I guess so..."
"We're dating!", Anna yelped out.
My eyes widened... Well, my eyes are already big, so imagine how much bigger they'll be.
"Excuse me, what?"
"We're dating!", Anna reiterated. Kristoff shrugged and fiddled with his shaggy head of hair.
I took a deep breath, "Well, okay Anna. But no funny business, okay?"
Kristoff blushed. I'm sure he knows what I meant. I trust the dude, and he looks nice enough too.
Suddenly, a pair of hands covered my eyes, "Guess who I am?"
"Hans...", I giggled. "What's up?"
"Nothing... I just wanted to ask you about the play we're doing.", Hans cheekily replied.
I rolled my eyes, "Well, I got no idea..."
"How about a love story... well, with no other than, us!", He suggested.
I kinda smiled... Well, it wasn't much of a bad idea, but it bothered me somehow.
It's like acting out the truth... wait, I'm not even sure if it is the truth. And to have Jack join the play? Well, I'm sure he's just going to have to deal with it.
Jack
The next day seemed to go by and it was another Tuesday in English class... Ms. Peters was listing down the ideas of the groups, so no one would change their idea right in the middle of the given week for the preparation.
"Rapunzel's group will have a...?"
"Well, what other story fits better with me than Rapunzel?", Rapunzel giggled. Eugene rolled his eyes. "Oh, and Eugene is the prince."
"That's... err...", Ms. Peters glanced at Eugene. "Lovely..."
"How about Alice's group?"
Katelyn stood up, "Well, we all agreed on a-"
"Except me.", Peter spat.
"Okay,", she shrugged. "Our group is doing a scene from Titanic. Except, we will do Rose as a blonde and Jack as a redhead, instead of the original Rose is red, and Jack is blonde."
Woah, boy that was smart.
"How wonderful! So... that's?", Ms. Peters asked.
Katelyn smiled, "Alice and Peter."
The whole class snickered, while Alice folded her arms and snuggled deeper into her seat. Her face was bright red, and her eyebrows were furrowed.
"Next is... uh... Jacqueline?"
"It's Jacqueline... pronounced the French way.", A girl with pretty dark hair corrected. "But please, call me Kiki, since that is quite a handful."
Ms. Peters smiled, "Okay, so what are you gonna do, sweetie?"
"Well... We knew it was a bad idea, but here it goes.", she took a deep breath. "We're gonna present a scene from Mean Girls."
The whole class was shocked. I had no idea about this Mean Girls thing, but the ladies at the back seemed amused.
"Seems interesting, carry on.", Ms Peters commented.
She squinted down her clipboard, "Last group... is... Merida's group."
Gulp... We haven't picked out a story yet!
"Err... umm...", Merida stood up. "We really haven't picked out a story yet."
"What?", Ms Peters said. "Are you having a hard time picking one out?"
Merida nodded...
"Well then, I shall pick one instead. A tricky one."
The whole class was silent... Whenever Ms Peters picks a play, she ain't that merciful.
"I'll pick the two main characters as well", she added as she scanned a book.
Merida was still standing and shooting awful glares at us. I mouthed, "Sorry, Mer."
She just rolled her eyes and watched Ms. Peters put down her book.
"Okay, everyone. The last group will be presenting a play of one of my favorite books.", she said. "And I specifically want this play to be altered and changed into a deep, romantic story."
"This original story isn't a romantic one, so you'll have to add another character into it.", she added.
Just tell us already!
"I want you to present a play based on Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen.", the whole class gasped. It was indeed a tricky one to alter.
She glanced back at her clipboard, "And the couple in the story will be..."
Me and Merida? ... NO
Merida and Hans? ... That's kinda okay... but Mer will ignite the entire English Department
Elsa and Hans? ... Well, they're together so that wouldn't be a problem, even if I'll be against it.
"Jack Frost and Elsa Arendelle."
A/N: You people are getting spoiled here! Haha, I felt like updating again, so here it is~!
I'm so sorry if I couldn't get all of the one-shot characters to speak, since I needed more scenes for Jack and Elsa here...
I guess I shouldn't fangirl about my story, so I shall keep calm about the cliffy right there :3
One-shot characters? Yup! I'm looking for people again to be a one-shot char... OH! One more thing. Since the play will be on FRIDAY, the one-shot chars from this chapter WILL appear again on that "Play Time" chapter. I'm not sure what number, though, but you will be there. I'm not also sure if I could make you talk at that moment.
Some of you may appear on even MORE chapters, it depends if you somehow happen to bump with Elsa, or any other main character in this story.
Thank you all for supporting my wee book, and yeah... I got nothing else to say :3
Love,
Julienne
[Updated Author's Notes: I just got Made in the A.M. ahead of the release date, and I have absolutely no idea on whether not I should listen to it right now. Help.]
