Chapter 15
[A New Day]
**Next Monday**
Grrr! Grrr! Grrr!
“What the heck is sounding so noisily?” Elsa mumbled in her sleep while Ellie tossed to the other side of her bed.
Grrr! Grrr!
The alarm rang again.
“Please, Elsa, could you please switch off whatever is making this loud noise?” Ellie grunted in her sleep.
“I also don’t know what is ringing so loudly.” Elsa muttered.
Ellie stretched her hands out of the blanket and searched for the alarm sleepily. She kept hitting several places on the stool next to her.
“Hey, be careful with whatever you are hitting, it is making even more noise.” Elsa said .
“Why can't you search for it yourself instead?” Ellie said while dozing off.
Elsa soon joined in search for whatever was making the noise. Then suddenly their hands hit something, in a move to turn it off, the alarm fell down on the floor with a thud thereby making even more noise making them open their eyes sharply.
They looked around and out of the window.
“It is morning already?” Elsa asked and yawned. But Ellie had started dozing again.
“Hey, wake up, it is morning already.” Elsa said and threw a pillow at her sister.
Ellie sat up straight immediately and looked around.
“Hey, wake up. There is class today.” Elsa said and climbed down from the bed. She stretched out her bones and started picking their uniforms and socks. She pulled off her clothes and headed for the bathroom.
“After you.” Ellie said and dozed off again. Elsa shook her head and slammed the bathroom's door shut.

“Wakey, wakey.” Elsa said as she tapped her sister.
“You are done already?” Ellie asked.
“Yeah.”
“Okay.” She said and stood up.
“Be quick.” Elsa yelled out.
“Okay.” Ellie said.
*
“Ready?” Elsa asked.
“Almost.” Ellie said while trying to pull the socks up you her knees.
“And.. Done.” She said and smiled satisfactorily.
“Let's go.” Elsa said.
“Wait, I have not brushed my hair yet and apply some lip gloss.” Ellie said as she ran towards the mirror.
“What the actual fvck is this?” Elsa said in annoyance.
“Are you going for some beauty pageant audition or what?” Elsa asked.
“I don’t blame you, you know, you have..” She said and clamped her lips together making a sound.
“You have applied everything on your face and also brushed your hair neatly, do you want me to look unpresentable?” Ellie said as she covered the lip gloss.
“If I don’t look pretty, you will be like oh, Ellie, see how you look like?”
“You look someone that slept on the hay.” Ellie said mimicking her sister.
Elsa snorted.
“Just, make whatever you are applying snappy.” Elsa said and hissed a little.
Ellie picked hair brush and brushed her hair. She packed her hair into a ponytail and smiled triumphantly.
“What do you think?” She asked Elsa.
“Ugly.” Elsa said.
“Oh, please, like a saying goes ‘the truth is bitter when heard and said'.” Ellie said and started making selfie gesture in front of the mirror.
Elsa looked at her and hissed out.
“When you are done striking poses, come and meet me at the locker hall.” Elsa said and dashed out.
“Wait, w-what?” Ellie yelled and made her way towards the door. She ran after her sister.
“Hey, wait up.” She yelled.
“Elsa, can't you hear me?” Ellie shouted after her.
“Will you stop shouting?” Elsa said out of frustration.
“When I kept calling you lowly, did you stop?” Elle asked.
Elsa just shook her head and walked.
“Gosh, that practical was exhausting to do with that Mark of a boy wanting to get a skin contact with me.” Ellie complained.
“Thank goodness that Jake suggested for me not to go to his dorm, who knows what might have happened.” Ellie continued talking.
“What of yours?” Ellie asked and started laughing.
“You can laugh all you can.” Elsa said and moved ahead of her.
“You guys don’t even know when you will be doing for the practical yet.” Ellie said while laughing.
But deep down in her, she was not as happy as her feature gave off.
~•~•~•~•~•~•~
The bell for lunch break rang and students soon dispersed and walked along to the café.
“Gosh, that was draining.” Ellie commented.
“Lazy dummy.” Elsa said while going through the books in her hands.
“Wait, did you just call me a dummy?” Ellie asked.
“Unbelievable.” She said.
“I am hungry, we missed breakfast this morning. Let’s walk fast please.” Elsa said.
“Yeah, I agree with you on that one.” Ellie said and rubbed her tummy.
“Julia should be around here.” Ellie said as looked around. She searched around café trying to spot Julia with her wandering eyes. Then she saw a hand raise up and started waving at her.
“Oh, that is where she is seated.” Ellie said and smiled at her.
“Where?” Elsa said as she also looked around.
“Over there.” Ellie said pointing at her direction.
“Hey, babes.” Julia greeted them as they took a seat beside her.
“Hi.” They chorused in reply.
“And where is your new friend, Ellie?” Julia asked.
“And who is that?” She asked not getting what she meant.
“Aria- the quiet nerd that has decided to start befriending people and the first person happened to be Ellie.” Julia whispered and burst into a fit of laughter. Elsa just chuckled.
“Hahaha, funny right?” Ellie said as she wanted to potato chips from Julia plate. Julia tapped her and pushed it away.
“Go get yours.” Julia said.
“I heard you guys are doing some practicals in your class, tell me about it.” Julia said.
Not soon after did Ellie started laughing.
“Any why are you laughing? I just asked some questions.” Julia said not getting why she was laughing.
Elsa eyed her sister and hissed at her behavior.
“Well, mine is in progress and will be completed in a two or three days before submission while Elsa..” Ellie said and started laughing again.
“What is funny?” Julia asked.
“Guess who Elsa was paired with?” Ellie asked.
“You guys were paired together?” She asked.
“Yes, a pair of two.” Ellie said.
“I don’t know who she was paired with.” Julia said and munched some chips.
“Jayson.” Ellie said.
“What?!” Julia said with some chips falling off her lips.
“And what is funny?” Julia asked and she looked between the two sisters.
“None of them has approached each other for explanation.” Ellie said and started laughing again. Soon after, Julia joined her too.
“If you see the way they kept staring at each other like they wanted to butcher each other.” Ellie said.
“You know what? I am out of here.” Elsa said and stood up to leave.
They continued laughing at her.
