Sunday was a day well spent, and that was a lot coming from Sophie.

She'd made posters for people to sign up for her tutoring classes, everyday between the hours she had between after school and before work and all day on Sunday.

She already had a person named Anna, who'd signed up.

Sophie would earn a flat 20 dollars an hour, and she had two hours between after school and work, so that would be about forty dollars a day.

Well, that's progress!

After she'd finished making posters, she'd decided to walk in the park.

After the walk, she went to the library to pick up a few books and set up a website for her tutoring classes.

Of course, since she kinda was a child genius, she could've tutored college students, but she decided not to because she much rather have preferred teaching time tables rather than teaching the formula of a circle.

———————————

Ever since her arrival in the Forbidden Cities, she'd never gotten sleep.

But, on Sunday night, her sleep was rather peaceful and nightmare-less.

Drifting off to sleep, Sophie thought, Maybe, just maybe, things go uphill from here.

———————————

Sophie jinxed herself.

She had a well sleep.

Maybe too well.

She'd had slept in too late, so she had run to school.

Not speed-walk run.

Like, I'm-in-a-marathon run.

She'd gotten more stares than she'd gotten her whole life.

Even though she ran like crazy, she ended two minutes late.

Then she'd gotten detention lunch from first period because 'she was out of breath because she was running in the hallways.'

She silently cursed every teacher in the school while she'd walk to second period.

When she'd gotten to second period, Tony happened to be in there.

"Hey."

"Hi."

"So.. uh, how's it going?"

"I'm sure I'm doing worse than you."

"Should I be proud?"

"You do you."

"So, how bad is it?"

"As bad as waking up late, running to school, and getting detention because I 'ran in the hallways.'"
Sophie put up her fingers to show quotation marks.

"It's not that b-"

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?"

"Nah. I've already earned detention for a month!"

"Ohh... fine. I might have it easy."

"'Might?'"

"Ugh. You are so annoying."

"That's what I do!"

"Nevermind that. Where's Sandra and Samuel?"

"Oh.. they're home sick."

"They told you?" Sophie raised an eyebrow.

"Uh-by the way, the look you're giving me is terrifying- yes they did."

"Oh, ok. See you later!"

"See ya F- Sophie!"

Sophie's lunch detention wasn't so bad.

All she had to do was sit in the classroom listening to people whispering about her around here.

Fun, right?

Wrong.

They weren't exactly good things about her, but it could've been worse.

Sophie was excited to get out of detention. Even though she had to endure the horrors of chemistry class.

During chemistry, Tony literally blew up something.

Not the teacher with questions.

But he blew up a big chunk of the classroom.

Honestly, Sophie wasn't sure what to think - that the classroom had a hole or how long of a detention Tony had.

Neither felt comforting. Especially the part about the hole in the room.

The school day ended in the same spirit, for example someone in 7th period made the teacher so mad that the teacher started cursing the student out loud.

Good thing the principal wasn't in the classroom.

—————————

Going to the library and tutoring Anna was the best thing added to her day.

Meeting her mom wasn't much better, though.

"Hello, Miss Foster! This is Anna. Anna, say hi!"

"Hi, stranger. My mommy says I'm the smartest person in the world because she asked me the plural form of goose and I said meese!"

Sophie stared at the child. "..." She turned to the girl's mother for help.

The mom gave a do-what-you-gotta-do look, and Sophie gave her you're-her-mother look.

"So, ki- Anna, the word 'moose' is a fifth grade word-"

"I'm as smart as a fifth grader!" She argued.

"-and meese is not a word."

Anna gasped. "Mommy! The girl said that meese isn't a word. Isn't it illegal for you to say words that are words aren't words?"

"Huh?" Her mom replied.

"Well, I guess I'll see you at five!" Anna's mom said.

"Wait-" But Anna's mom already left. "-a minute." Sophie muttered to herself.

Well, she thought to herself, this is going to be a fun two hours.

---------------------

Sophie had started getting to know Anna first since it was the first day.

She still couldn't get over the fact that her mom agreed with Anna that meese was a word.

Sophie had though, So if I told the girl that meese wasn't a word, she would hate me forever. But then if I told her that meese was a word then she would probably tell her teachers that her tutor told her that meese was a word and use the fact to humiliate herself.

Ok, Sophie thought, I'm thinking about meese. Wait, scratch that. I'm thinking about the word meese. Why am I thinking about the word meese?

Snapping out of her meese trance, she thought about what had happened earlier that day.

She remembered Anna telling her she was the same Anna from Frozen.

Anna obviously didn't look like Anna.

Didn't act like Anna. Or, wait. Does Anna from Frozen know the word meese?

Obviously didn't have the same life as Anna.

But Anna claimed she was Anna from Frozen.

And then Sophie was caught again in one of these situations.

If she told Anna that Anna herself wasn't that Anna that Anna wanted to be, she would get mad at her.

But...

If she told her that she was the Anna that she wanted to be, then she would humiliate Sophie and herself because she'll go around telling everyone that her tutor told her that she was some princess whose sister is some ice summoner.

Somehow, Sophie knew she would have to endure more of these situations.

Not ones including meese, not ones including princesses, but ones including life or death.
