Elsa fidgeted in her seat. Besides her, Jack was reclining lazily, hands behind his head, almost asleep. Idiot, she grumbled in her thoughts.

"Jack Frost," the teacher shook Elsa out of her mind. "One way or another." Elsa looked at Jack gleefully. The snow-haired boy looked horrified. The teacher raised an eyebrow and beckoned him up. Slowly, Jack trudged up to the stage, grabbed the microphone, and sang.

One way or another, I'm gonna find ya

I'm gonna getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha

One way or another, I'm gonna win ya

I'm gonna getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha

One way or another, I'm gonna see ya

I'm gonna meet ya, meet ya, meet ya, meet ya

One day, maybe next week

I'm gonna meet ya, I'm gonna meet ya, I'll meet ya

I will drive past your house

And if the lights are all down

I'll see who's around

One way or another, I'm gonna find ya

One way or another, I'm gonna see ya

I'm gonna meet ya, meet ya, meet ya, meet ya

One day, maybe next week

I'm gonna meet ya, I'll meet ya, I'll meet ya

And if the lights are all out

I'll follow your bus downtown

See who's hanging out

One way or another

The class burst into applause, with Elsa grudgingly joining in. As annoying as he was, he was a pretty good singer.

"Elsa." Elsa's head snapped up, alarmed. The teacher reached into the bag and pulled out a fluttering bit of paper. "Clean." Elsa stood up shaking and lumbered up onto the stage. The second time she was singing, and she was going to be just as bad. This time, however, she had someone who was most likely to tease her for the rest of her life if she got this wrong. Taking a deep breath she opened her mouth and started to sing.

The drought was the very worst (aha, aha)

When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst

It was months, and months of back and forth (aha, aha)

You're still all over me like a wine-stained dress I can't wear anymore

Hung my head, as I lost the war, and the sky turn black like a perfect storm

Rain came pouring down when I was drowning

That's when I could finally breathe

And that morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean

There was nothing left to do

And the butterflies turned to dust they covered my whole room

So I punched a hole in the roof

Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you

The water filled my lungs, I screamed so loud but no one heard a thing

Rain came pouring down when I was drowning

That's when I could finally breathe

And that morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean

I think I am finally clean

Said, I think I am finally clean

10 months sober, I must admit

Just because you're clean don't mean you miss it

10 months older I won't give in

Now that I'm clean I'm never gonna risk it

The drought was the very worst

When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst

Rain came pouring down when I was drowning

That's when I could finally breathe

And that morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean

Rain came pouring down when I was drowning

That's when I could finally breathe

And that morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean.

Elsa gently set back down the microphone. Silence washed over the classroom. Almost everyone had their mouths gawping open, with the exception of Merida, who was sitting back in her chair looking very smug, peering at a dirty fingernail.

"Told you she could sing," to no-one in particular. Elsa gave a half smile and rushed down to her seat. Jack was glaring at her, his forehead creased up and was as red as a tomato.

"How dare you out-sing my girlfriend," he hissed in a menacing voice. "I'm going to get you for that." Elsa sighed. You can't win, can you?

A/N, umm, how do I put this. Ah yes.

How long did it take to get the target? 5 days. Oh, and that's not all. 100 reads in 5 days!

I feel amazing right now. And some votes omg. And a comment. I think I'm going to be sick with happiness. Bye!
