Figuring things out

Saturday, September 28th  (Elsa)

"Is that her?" I turn to Anna as I hear the car horn go off. Anna gets up from the couch and looks out the window towards my driveway.

"Yep. C'mon." We walk towards the front door and pick up our bags off of the floor. Anna opens the front door, I follow her out and lock the door behind me. I follow Anna closely until we reach the passenger's side of her mother's car. Her mother notices me then rolls down the passenger's window and leans over to talk to us. "Hi mom!"

"Hi honey." She looks at me and smiles widely. "You must be Elsa, Nice to finally meet you." I wave at Anna's mother.

"It's nice to meet you too Ms. Felder"

"Is it fine for Elsa to spend the night?" Anna asks as I mentally cross my fingers while I wait for her answer. 

"Of course it is. Do you have a bag ready?" 

"Mhm" I nod my head up and down.

"Then get in." Anna practically jumps with excitement as she enters the car. I let myself into the backseat and we pull off the moment I close my door. 

After about fifteen minutes we pull into the driveway of a light blue house. I follow Anna's lead as she unbuckles her seat belt and exits the car. Ms. Felder stays in the car and rolls down her window. "Is there anything specific you want for dinner?" 

"I would love some food." Anna replies to her mother.

"I don't know why I still ask you. I'll be back guys." With that, Ms. Felder rolls up her window and drives off. 

"C'mon, Elsa." I turn around and follow Anna to her front door as she unlocks it. I step inside to the smell of chocolate chip cookies. 

"Does your mom always bake? It smells like chocolate chip cookies." Anna looks at me with a confused look.

"Huh? What are yo-ooh. That's just an air freshner." My mood shifts slightly as I realize that there are no cookies waiting to be eaten.

"Oh. Those sound good right now." Anna pulls out her phone and swipes the touch screen a couple times. 

"Alright. We'll be having cookies tonight."

"Wait, seriously?" 

"Yup. Just told my mom to pick up some cookie dough for us. Now it's time for the tour." Anna leads me from her living room, into her kitchen, back through the living room and up the stairs on the right. She points at her mom's bedroom but doesn't actually open it. Then we reach the final stop, her bedroom. 

"Now for the main event." She opens her bedroom door and the first thing I can see is green. Her walls are painted a light forest green. It resembles looking up towards the sun through a canopy of trees. The next thing I'm hit with is the numerous posters of odd characters. "I'm home Nathan."

"What?" I ask, confused. Anna shakes her head and waves a hand at me. 

"Nothing. It's a habit of mine." 

"Okaay." She drops her backpack on the floor next to the door and I follow her lead. I turn my attention back to her walls and take a mental note of the names on all of the posters. Dead Space. Uncharted. Destiny. God of War. The Evil Within. My train of thought was derailed once I noticed Anna was staring at me. "What is it?"

"Nothing. I'm just waiting to hear what you think."

"Oh. Well I love the color, I'm just not familiar with the movies." Her face starts to grow red. Uh oh. Did I just upset her? "I'm sorry, I just-"I stop once I hear her mumble something under her breath. "What did you say?"
