The biker

Astrid Hofferson

Astrid stepped out of her mother's car and closed the door behind her, she moved some of her blond hair behind her ear and adjusted her small backpack. She walked towards the school and glance at her own reflection from the windows, her red headband rested on her forehead, with a warm scarf, long shirt and jeans with long legged boots. She stood in front of Edge high school, Berk city's top high school! Well, Berk city's only high school.

"Bye, mom" Astrid shouted while she clenches her books tightly, "I wonder where Heather is"

She smiled slightly at a few passing students and simply headed to the office to pick up a few papers, she was quite popular in school but she couldn't care less. Astrid turned a corner when she accidently bumps into another student and dropped her books on the floor, she back away and rub her nose slightly.

"Whoa! Sorry milady" a voice said

"Milady?" Astrid mumbled with her eyes staring at the other student. She saw a brown hair teenage boy, who seem to be around her age. He had a small braid on the side of his hair and wore a leather jacket with a strange clip on the chest. She notices a strange design on his right shoulder, along with his dark green leather pants with the side being brown.

"Sorry," he said bending down and picking up her books. He smiled and held her books with his fingerless gloves, "Here"

"Thanks," she said taking the books from his hands, "Who are you?"

"Hector Horrendous Haddock, the third! But you can simply call me Hiccup" Hiccup replied nervously smiling at her slightly, "Nice to meet you!"

"That's quite a mouth full," Astrid said and notice a helmet on the ground, "Why Hiccup?"

"I used to have hiccups a lot when I was a kid, so people called me Hiccup instead of Hector…. And well... It just stuck with me" Hiccup said bending down and picking up his helmet, "And you are?"

"Astrid Hofferson," she said turning on her heel and walking away, "Thanks for picking up my books"

"Uh….. sure thing" Hiccup mumbled watching her leave

"She's beautiful," Hiccup thought sighing softly and walked towards his locker.

Astrid closed her locker while she finished her braid, she casually left it on her shoulder and moved her bangs slightly. She made her way towards her history class and saw Heather and Ruffnut, her two friends since elementary school.

"Hey!" Astrid shouted waving at them, "There you are! I was looking for you"

"Why Astrid?!" Ruffnut asked while she adjusted her black beanie, she grins and crossed her arms with a bracelet wrap around her upper arm. She wore a black tank top with black shorts and brown boots.

"Because I wanted to see you guys?!" Astrid said rolling her eyes slightly, "Jeez"

"Just ignore her," Heather said waving her hand lazily.

"I like your new outfit, Heather," Astrid said admiring Heather's light grey shirt with a brown tank top underneath with brown shorts and small shoes, "It's very fitting"

"Thanks!" Heather smiled and pulled her shirt slightly before letting go.

"Hey! It's Hiccup" Ruffnut whispered nudging Astrid's side, "What happened to him?!"

"What do you mean?" Astrid asked raising a brow with a confused expression, "He's just walking?"

"Don't you remember him from last year?" Heather asked turning her head towards her, "Remember that skinny kid? Super short? He hangs out with Fishlegs?"

"Wait…. What?!" Astrid asked quickly turning her head and taking another look at Hiccup, who clearly had a growth spurt and bulk up. "No way! That skinny kid is Hiccup!" she said in disbelief.

"He's kind of cute now" Ruffnut whispered and smirk

"I thought you wanted to date, Eret?" Heather asked while she watched Hiccup disappear into the crowd.

"I can give a complaint to other guys, can't I?!" Ruffnut asked flipping a hair slightly and turning away, "What about you, Heather? Any boys you like?"

"Nope!" she said walking away from them

"I can't believe that Hiccup…. Used to be the other Hiccup!" Astrid mumble and still couldn't believe it.

"Puberty was kind to him," Ruffnut said slapping her hand against Astrid' back, "Let's head to class, already!"

"Sure" she mumbles following her

Hiccup sat on his desk and stared out the window with his eyes following a passing plane, he smiled slightly and wished he could fly, and feel the wind in his hair and the freedom! But he couldn't fly, he didn't have wings or had a mythical creature like a dragon.

"That would be amazing" Hiccup whispered turning to his paper and started to draw a dragon.

"A dragon as black as night! Fast! Strong! Loyal!" Hiccup thought smiling while he drew and decided to model his dragon after his cat, Toothless. He continued to draw and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his lower left leg, he rubbed it slightly and tried to ease the pain.

"Ow….. what's wrong with my leg?" Hiccup whispered to himself messaging his leg some more, "It's probably nothing"
