This is my first attempt at a HTTYD/Hiccstrid story. They are my OTP and I really liked this idea, so I decided to write it up.
Disclaimer: I don't own HTTYD.
(A/N: For the sake of this story I have decided to put them all in a boarding school called Berk's Academy. Everyone knows each other except for Hiccup.)
Game, Set, Match
Haddock
Astrid had been attending Berk Academy since she was a freshman. So far, they've been the best four years of her life. She's made some of the best friends, and of course, some enemies.
You see, Astrid runs the school. She's popular, plays soccer, and runs track. She has almost every student wrapped around her finger, having them all bowing down to her.
She has a certain group that she's been with since she started attending the school. Ruff and Tuff Thorston, the reckless twins. Lout Jorgenson, the jock, and Fishlegs Ingernan, the nerdy one.
Of course, those were just nicknames.
Astrid looked over at Ruff, who was walking beside her "I hate boarding school."
"Only boarding school? You've hated school since pre-k."
Ruff nodded as she pushes the doors open to the lobby.
One thing Astrid loves about boarding school is getting to share a room with Ruff. They don't have to deal with lockers, or people getting in their way while they're getting things for classes. She doesn't even have to share a room with a stranger.
"Hey," Ruff started as she pushed the button on the elevator "did you hear Lout's cousin is going to start coming this year?"
"His cousin? Gods, I hope he's not as annoying as Lout."
Ruff shrugged and opened their room door, throwing her bag onto the floor and falling onto the bed that will now be hers for a year "That Heather girl-"
"The one I can't stand?"
Ruff nodded "She apparently dated him for years."
Astrid laughed and started pulling clothes out of her bag "Must suck for him. Then again, anyone that dates Heather must have low standards."
"Unattractive?"
"He's definitely got to be unattractive."
Their room door opened and Tuff walked in, Fish right behind him "Come on you two, lunch is getting ready to start!"
"Lout is already waiting in the cafeteria." Fish added.
Astrid nodded and slipped on a sweatshirt. She wished there was a mirror set up somewhere in the room so she could see if she looks somewhat decent.
This is the first day that she'll be seeing everyone. She pulled her hair off to the side, running her fingers through it before throwing it up into a bun. It's not like the school doesn't know who she is.. Except the freshman, but she'll put them in their place if they cross her.
"Hey Hofferson, let's go! There's good food calling my name!" Ruff called from the door. Astrid nodded, digging through her bag for her room key, and following her friends down to the cafeteria.
00000
Astrid would wave to someone every few seconds before shoveling more food into her mouth. She may be tiny, and she may be trying to watch her weight, but her schools food is too good for her to pass up. She could eat it all day.
Lout looked at his phone, groaning. Astrid paused, looking across the table at her friend "What's going on?" she asked around her form.
He frowned, tossing his phone on the table "My cousin is going to be here soon."
"What's he like?" Ruff asked, putting her elbows on the table and looking at Lout.
"Annoying." he said, shoving his tray towards Astrid "He's different."
Astrid tilted her head "Different how?"
"Different as in... He lost a leg. He has a prosthetic."
Astrid set her fork down and leaned back in the chair, crossing her arms "That's pretty badass."
"Oh, well, he'll definitely fit in good with Astrid's stamp of approval." Ruff laughed, elbowing Astrid's sides.
"He'll need it."
Astrid stared towards a table a few away from them. She was watching one of the girls that was there. Heather. This girl has gotten on Astrid's nerves since day one, always trying to be better than her. They've gotten in more arguments that she can count.
"So, Heather dated him?" She asked, not taking her eyes off Heather. Lout nodded and Astrid looked at him "Why?"
Ruff was looking past Astrid towards a different table. Her eyes had landed on someone that looked familiar and she couldn't place the name. When Lout opened his mouth to answer, Ruff swung her arm out, hitting Astrid and pointing "Dagur's back."
Astrid looked in the direction that Ruff was pointing. She frowned, glaring at him.
Dagur is a guy that tried to ruin her life last year, in her and Ruff's book anyway. Astrid slept with him after a game, and he had started a rumor about her. Astrid doesn't do well with rumors. When she heard, her and Ruff started making the guys life hell, it was easy, really. He left for the year, but she guesses he decided to show his face again.
"Guess he decided he'd try to start new." Astrid mumbled.
Ruff frowned "I think he knows not to come near you."
"Oh, I know he does. I'd kill him."
She turned back to face Lout, leaning on the table. She wasn't even sure what the boys were talking about, and she really didn't care. She pushed her chair back and stood up "I'm going to get my schedule."
Ruff grabbed her arm before she walked away "Can you get mine too? I don't feel like getting up."
"Yeah, yeah. I'll pretend to be Ruff Thorston." Ruff waved her off and she chuckled.
She grabbed her lunch tray, throwing it away as she walked towards the office. 'Orientation Day' is always her least favorite day. A bunch of freshman wandering around, lost, standing in the middle of the hallway.
She hates freshman. She hated being a freshman, and she hates talking to them. They are always so... Annoying.
She was about to turn into the office when someone tapped her shoulder. She frowned, turning around getting ready to yell at whatever the freshman was about to ask her now. She snapped her mouth shut when she was now faced with a pair of green eyes. She crossed her arms "What do you want?"
The guy smiled at her and pointed towards the office "Is this where we get schedules?"
"Yes." she snapped, and turned on her heel "What are you? New?"
"Actually, yes."
She paused and turned back around, looking down at their feet before looking up at his face "Lout's cousin." She frowned. He's not... Unattractive like her and Ruff thought. She scowled and turned around, walking towards the desk in the office.
"I see you know my cousin."
"Yeah, and I see you're nothing like him." She walked up to the desk, leaning against "I need my schedule. Oh, and a friends. Astrid Hofferson and Ruff Thorston."
Lout's cousin leaned on the counter next to her while the lady looked for the schedules. He looked at Astrid and smiled "So, which are you? Hofferson or Thorston?"
She forced a smile and debated on lying and saying Thorston. Astrid did say she was going to pretend to be Ruff. "Hofferson."
"Haddock."
"Is that your real name or last name?"
He gave her a lopsided smile and held a hand out to her "Hiccup."
She glanced at his hand, and then at his face, scowling "Listen, Hiccup. I practically run this school. If I like you, everyone will. Stay out of my way."
Hiccup smirked and pulled his hand away. He took in her face before looking down. She punched his arm and pointed to her face "My eyes are up here, perv." he rolled his eyes and made eye contact with her "Okay. I can ready tell I'm not going to like you. I can see right through that stupid smug grin of hours, and I'm not scared to make your life hell."
She reached across the counter, taking hers and Ruff's schedules "I'll see you around, Hofferson. It'll be my pleasure getting to know you."
She frowned and stomped out of the office towards the cafeteria. Hiccup Haddock. Oh, she'll remember the name, and that stupid attractive face of his. "He's so much worse than Snotlout!" she mumbled to herself.
She pushed open the doors and walked over to the table, throwing Ruff's schedule down and slamming her hands on the table "Your cousin is a perv. A really attractive perv!"
Ruff looked up at her and smiled "Sounds like my kind of guy. Where's that one legged perv?"
Astrid glared towards the doors as he walked in, looking around before his eyes landed on her. He shot her a smile and started walking towards them. Astrid's frown deepened and she pointed "There."
