Intro

Saturday morning around 1 am

It's a snowy winter night in Colorado. And Hiccup is on his way home from a math competition, -his Dad had made him do- and he sees a person walking down the street in 10 below zero weather. He gets close enough to see it's Astrid Hofferson pulling someone. He stops beside her and asked, "Do you need a ride?"

"It's aright... I don't think he will appreciate it." Astrid nervously responds back. "And he doesn't like it when I ride with another guy."

Hiccup notices that the person she's talking about is Snotlout the famous linebacker for their high school, -Berk High- know as the Crusher by the football team. "Are you sure it's 10 below?" Hiccup states, "You may freeze to death out here."

"I'm sure" she says back. "I rather die out here, then die tomorrow morning by him" then pointed at the drunk Snotlout.

"At least let me call a cab for you guys" Hiccup says out the window.

"That will be fine... I guess" she can't help to keep from blushing at his responds.

Hiccup can't but notice her face turning red. " J-j-just let me... call" he can't help himself from stuttering and turns away from her.

Two months later

- Hiccup's POV

I pull into my schools parking lot. I found a spot near the front. It was the start of my Junior year of high school. I got to here early to see where my classes were at, and the best routes. I got in to my first block right when the bell rang. I looked at my schedule and it said these was physics. I looked around for a seat and saw all of them were full except for one. It was right next to Astrid. She saw me coming and turned away. I sat down and didn't say a word.

That whole hour was long enough as is, but not talking made it even longer. The bell rang and I couldn't be more excited to leave a classroom. I quickly walked to my next class to grab a front row seat. The next bell rang and the teacher started to explain what this class is about until the door started to open. And bound to know it was Astrid and her boyfriend Snotlout. I can't understand why she is seeing him for. Then I started to look around the room to see where there was open seats. There were two; one next to the right of me and the other to the left. I was doomed if I stayed where I was. So I got up and moved to the left, so I won't be in the middle of them. I see Astrid and her boyfriend -I hate saying that- coming to sit down. I hoped that she wouldn't sit next to me, but she did.

"Thank you" Astrid whispered to me.

I quickly said, "Y-y-you we-wel-welcome" that stupid stuttering came back. I heard her laugh a little bit.

After that class was done, the day went by fast. My mechanics class was easy sense I know a lot about it. My math class was easy too. Because they didn't have Snot or Astrid in them. The final bell rang and I started to walk out to my truck. I was about to get in till I notice the car parked beside me, had a sticker that says Astrid Hofferson the fastest runner in the world. I turned to look to see her standing behind me.

"I see you noticed my car" she says.

"Um... Yeah" I said in a nervous tone.

"I guess these is your car"

"Yeah it's a Ford"

"Oh... That's cool."

"It's a nice truck." I then notice that Snotlout was walking up. "Yep.. I got to go." After I said that, I quickly got into my truck to leave. But it was to late, he spotted me talking to her.

"Hey weirdo" Snotlout shout at me.

"Hey Snot" oh I was in a lot of trouble now.

"I told you not to call me that." Snotlout said angrily "And why were you talking to my girlfriend for."

"Hey just stop it Snot," Astrid pops in to the conversation "I was talking to him."

"It's alright I can just leave" I said. While thinking why Astrid -my dream girlfriend- didn't use any romance nicknames, but used Snot.

"Yeah you better leave," He said starring me down. Then turn to Astrid "Why no babe or honey, Asty?"

I got in my truck and took off as fast as I could. I was about to leave the parking lot, but I turned to look at where I left. And saw the unbelievable, Snotlout punching Astrid in the face. That drove me over the edge. I made a b-line to them and stopped right in front of them.

"What are you here for Dwe-" Snotlout said while being cut off.

I threw a punch straight at his face, knocking him out. Then I went to help Astrid up. "Are you okay?" I asked her.

"You didn't have to save me you know?" She said in a angry tone, "I could defend for my self. And now I have to take him to the nurse."

"Sorry, I just saw him punch you, and no man should treat you like that" I felt my heart stop. My only dream girlfriend hates me now.

Two weeks later

- Astrid's POV

It's Sunday before the my test in Physics. I haven't been to class because of Hiccup and Snots incident in the parking lot. And Snot is being meaner to me, I had to stay home to hide the bruises. I only am his girlfriend because it keeps me in the popular group. But I still have to keep my grades at all A's, for I can get into the college.

I have been up for 10 hours studying for the test. I still don't get some of the questions on the study guide that Ruffnut gave me. I starred at it for half an hour and don't get it. Then to add the stress I have Snot calling me every minute. I finally pick up my phone. "Hello."

"It's about time you answered your phone."

"Sorry, I have to study for Physics and so should you."

"Then maybe you should come over to my place and help me?"

"I know you are having a party," I can clearly hear music from his end.

"I'm not having a party."

"I can hear the music playing, I'm not dumb."

"What music," he said right when the music died down.

"I have to go."

"Why can you not come over?"

"I have to STUDY FOR PHYSICS!" I screamed into the phone.

"You don't have to scre-"

I hung up the phone before he finished. Then a minute later he called me again. I just ignored it. I started to think about how Hiccup was right saying, "No man should treat you like that." Well Snot was not a MAN, he was a boy. I knew Hiccup's dad was the Sheriff of Berk County. Before I could understand what I was doing. I picked up my phone and was calling his dad. After a couple of rings he picks up.

"Hello, this is Sheriff Stoick."

"Stoick it's Astrid."

"What's wrong Astrid?"

"Nothing really," but there was a show off boyfriend calling constantly and this stupid Physics test.

"Then, why did you call me for?"

"oh.. um..." I then realize why I was, "Does Hiccup have anything going on?"

"um.. No, he is at the house, why?"

"Just wondering"

"Astrid there is something wrong, why won't you tell me?"

He knew I lied, "I was going to study with him" that wasn't all a lie. I did want to study, but when I was talking to him I felt safer some reason.

"I think his free, but Astrid you have to know something."

"What is it?"

"He has feelings for you, ever since he saw you."

"Oh... I didn't know," I knew he couldn't see me, but I still smiled.

"So be careful around him, he is very finagle."

"I will be."

"Thank you, and have fun studying together."

"Okay bye," I hung up the phone. Then before I could come back to reality, I was on my way to Hiccup's house.
