EPISODE 17
?
I sat on the third step of stair on the staircase and sighed. I was feeling a bit different today and I could tell, my head was running a question and my mind was running another question I couldn’t understand, I was just so confused. But I know all was focused on Elsa. And then the question asked clearly in my head.
Do I like Elsa?
Of course I do not, I replied for myself immediately, stood up and head to my room,
I quickly opened the door and walked in to see Elsa slowly sitting up and cleaning her eyes, she Turned to me and called me in the most sweetest and calm voice ever.
“Jason?”
“Yeah?” I replied. “You’re awake!”
“Yeah, looks like I just needed a little bit of sleep I am feeling better already!” she said.
She moved her black hair back and she breathed in and out slowly, she was still sleepy I could tell. And why didn’t I notice how pretty she was since.
She didn’t look her age at all she was super cute and I just didn’t know how I found myself completely lost and staring at her.
Suddenly her voice snapped me back to life.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” she asked.
“I don’t… I… UhUh yeah so I just went downstairs and I met Dessera, she said my mom called and said you should please stay for dinner!” I told her.
“Uh, I don’t think I can and your mom, she has been at the hospital for a pretty long time, won’t she come back home and sorry I can’t stay for dinner, my dad might have gotten tired staying with my mom” she said and got down from the bed.
“Uh… Okay I understand!” I said.
She walked up to the desk and sat on her seat which she normally seats on that’s beside mine.
“So what about the work I gave you, are you done with it?” Elsa asked checking my book to see if I was done with it.
“Yes” I replied.
I was acting weird and I know it but I didn’t know what to do.
It’s like a weird feeling when you know something is wrong with you but you can’t tell what that something is and how can you solve what you don’t understand.
“Jason come over here!” Elsa suddenly ordered and I walked up to her. “what’s wrong?” I asked.
“You solved this one the wrong way!” she said cleaning her eyes.
Yeah she’s still sleepy.
“Okay how was I supposed to solve it?” I asked.
“Move your chair closer and listen attentively.” she ordered and I moved my chair closer to her and she grabbed my pen.
She starts to explain the topic very low and quietly and it was quite… I was very confused with what I was thinking.
I needed help, cause being close to her like this was making my heart beat like crazy.
“Jason? Jason?” Elsa called me and was looking at me like she was going to loose it.
“Are you even listening to me?” she asked with a sigh.
I moved back a bit.
“Uh sorry, I was quite lost!” I apologized.
“Lost? Okay? Did you impregnate someone, are you going to be a father or what the h*ell are you thinking about!” she asked with her voice getting high.
“No I am not going to be father!” I replied immediately.
“Then why are you so lost? What are you thinking about? You’re eighteen you’re not supposed to be zoning out every now and then”
She was tired, she let out a sleepy sigh and dug her fingers into her hair and then pull her hair out.
“To be honest, I am still sleepy!” she said.
Yeah I know that.
“But my work here is to teach you not to sleep on your bed and make myself at home.” Elsa joked.
“Well I don’t mind that!” I tell her.
“Very funny, now please just pay attention” she pleaded and I nodded.
Elsa explained the whole equation to me from the beginning and I tried my best not to get lost in thought again, and I did and finally understood the question better.
Well I did understand the question earlier but I don’t know why I did it wrong.
“Now try solving it again!” Elsa said and moved the book closer to my side and dropped the pen on the book.
“Okay” I said and grabbed the pen and book.
I start to solve the equation while Elsa rest her head on the desk and watched me and I almost freaked out at how fast my heart starts to beat.
Well she has watched me a dozen times attempting to different question. Why is my body acting so stupid right now.
“Why are your hands shaking?” Elsa suddenly ask me raising her head up.
“They’re not shaking your eyes are just seeing things!” i rolled my eyes.
Were they shaking??
Fuck! I’m screwed.
“Yeah I guess so, maybe my sleepy eyes are still seeing things” she sighed.
I wanted to say she should go to the bed and sleep all she wants and not t0rture herself but it was like she read my mind cause she immediately said. “And don’t tell me to go to sleep cause I won’t!”.
I smiled and she rolled her eyes.
“Do you know you’re a w!tch!” I tell her.
“I’m a fairy, you obviously see things differently” she replied making me want to laugh.
She’s classic with her jokes.
“And how did you know I was about to say that? About sleeping?” I asked curiously waiting for her reply and also attempting to the question.
“Because that’s the power of a fairy!” she replied.
“tch!” I laughed. “No that’s the power of a w!tch!”
“Okay, if you say I’m a w!tch, what w!tchy character have you seen me exhibit lately?” she asked.
Well you’re making my heart beat like the unusal and I can’t stop thinking about wanting you to make you smile, how is that not w!tchy, I’ve never felt this way before.
I wanted to say all that to her but that would make me look stupid and that is way too childish.
“First you just read my mind and lately you’ve been reprimanding me, how is that not witchy!” I laughed.
“You are so dumb!” she scoffed.
“Well technically I’m very dumb from your own point of view!” I added.
“Not only from my point of view and I also think, you’re stubborn, two headed and, a jerk” She said looking at the window.
“All that for just me, I am the most sweetest boy anyone can ever meet!” I said.
She turned to me immediately. (“Never call yourself sweet!”
“Why? I am sweet!” I laughed.
“You’re totally the opposite of sweet” she laughed too.
At least I made her laugh…
She suddenly cleared her throat and gave me a look.
“What?” I asked scared of the suspicious look.
“That reminds me. Have you apologized to Krystal yet?” she asked.
“Why are you asking?” I threw back the question.
“Because I want to know what type of guy-
“I apologized already!” I Lied cutting her off.
“Oh really? And what did she say about it?” she asked suspiciously.
“She told me not to worry about it and… And…
“You know I can tell you’re lying!” she said. And I could perfectly tell she wasn’t sleepy anymore and it was because of the small talk we just had.
“And I’m done!” I quickly changed the subject handing my book over to her.
She scanned my book with her suspicious eyes and gave me a look.
“You’re correct, now I just have an hour before I leave, we can work on one topic before I leave!” she said and I nodded.
She turned to me with a smile. Wait why is she smiling? Not that it’s a bad thing or so, it just made her look pretty.
She began, “You know it’s weird but, I like how you listen and agree to everything I say, it’s well… it’s lovely!”.
“Why did you have to tell me that, now I have to not listen and disagree with everything you say” I joked and she huffed.
I like joking or teasing her, her reactions are always priceless.
“You are one beast Jason!” she shook her head.
“maybe I should audition for the beast part in our school play, beauty and the beast!” I smiled and she rolled her eyes.
We started to work on another topic and honestly and I don’t even know where my mind keeps flying to, I was always lost, is this a new disease or what?
But Elsa is right in front of me what else would I be thinking of.
Okay wait. That was too much of me to think.
Elsa got frustrated when I asked her to repeat what she just explained like five times.
“Where the h*ell is your mind Jason?” she almost yelled.
“Sorry, I’m sorry if you just explain it again I promise I’ll listen!” I pleaded.
She sighed and placed both her hands on my shoulder.
She leaned closer to me. And in a whisper she began “Look! If you have gotten any girl pregnant, you can tell me, it can be just you, me and the girl and we will all think about it okay?” she said and I moved back letting her hand fall from my shoulder.
“What the h*ell? I did not pregnate any girl!” I rolled my eyes.
She held my face and I almost blew up when her hands gripped my cheeks. “Then get a grip! What the h*ell are you thinking about!??” she asked shaking my head and I Immediately pulled her hands down away from my face.
“Okay, I apologize and I promise I’ll listen!” I pleaded and she sighed.
“This is the last time!” she warned and I nodded.
Well I didn’t sc*rew up this time, I listened as she explained and solved it correctly at the end of everything…
She gave me a few more to solve and said she was going to get a bottled water from the kitchen that was she was very thirsty, and then she blamed me for being thirsty cause apparently I’ve been making her talk more than usual.
*
Elsa came back telling me my mom was back and she’s been in her room for almost three hours without us knowing.
She checked my work and was happy and less frustrated with how I got them right and then with a few assignment she gave me, she starts to park her things ready to leave.

ELSA
I walked out of Jason’s room and he walked behind me as I did.
I never forget to mention about apologizing to Krystal tomorrow to him and he just rolled his eyes and told me he’d apologize whenever he’s ready.
Jason escorted me out of the door and I was shocked when he entered the streets with me.
“Are you planning to go home with me?” I asked as I stood firm holding my bag.
“I can if you want me to!”
He teased, just like he’s always doing.
“You should better run home before your mom calls the cops on me saying I’ve kidnapped her son!” I tell him and he laughed.
“oh well I guess I better go back too, ’cause I’m being totally nice but you’re just pushing me away, it’s fine, I’ll just go home!” He shrugged.
“Awwn that’s sad! Cause I totally like rude Jason!” I teased.
Definitely love the nice Jason.
At least it’s less stress.
“You’re impossible!” he rolled his eyes and starts to walk away. I laughed and head my way too.
