Hiccup POV:
"Hic, would ye wake up!" I hear the thick – Scottish accent of a girl yell at me.
"Just let me skip today." I say groggily. But then I feel as the covers are pulled off of me.
"Hiccup! If ye don't go to school today me mum's gonna to have me head and then ye's! Wake up!" Next thing I know there's light pouring in my room.
"Fine, fine I'm getting up." I say as I squint my eyes open, the light blinding me. She throws my clothes at me and leaves. I flinch, due to the fact that she slams the door behind her. I quickly get dressed and brush my teeth. You would think that she'd be nicer about waking me up in the mornings.
"Hic, come on we gotta go!" Anyways, that girl, that red-headed, thick-accented, short tempered, blue eyed Scottish girl is my older cousin. She's a junior at Ebony Scales North. The school's named after the color of a dragon's scales that is said to have lived here, in this town long ago. I run downstairs and quickly feed my black lab, Toothless, before leaving the house. I don't live far from the school so Merida and I just walk there, everyday.
"So why did ye stay home from school for a week? I know it's not because of health issues." She says looking at me and I just keep staring forward.
"Oh, come on Hic, ye gotta get over that. Besides how could ye not tell that she was a lesbian. She's a complete tomboy, she's such a tomboy that she plays for the football team." She says as I begin to walk ahead of her. She soon catches up.
"Anyways, we're getting some new kids in our classes. I heard that they have a lot of ye'r classes." She says staring at me mysteriously.
"What?"
"Maybe it's fate." I sigh at this.
"Merida, don't get started on that whole "fate" thing again." I say quoting the 'fate' with my hands.
"I'll stop when ye stop on ye'r whole thing with dragons."
"Never."
"Then I'll never stop talking about fate."
"Fine!"
"Fine!" We end there as we get to the school. We go our separate ways. I stop by my locker first and grab my school sketch book and run off to the art room.
"Vwell, vwell, vwell, vook who finally decided to show up." Says Mr. North with his thick – Russian accent. I walk to my seat in the back and pull out my sketch book. Five minutes after I walked in a girl walks in.
"Oh you must be the new student. Everybody, everybody, please stop vhat vou are doing and listen here." He pauses and looks at the girl and the looks up to make sure that everybody is listening. He continues,
"This is Rapunzel Overland. She's a transfer student from West. Please treat her with respect and so what." She's wearing a purple long sleeved shirt with a sun in the middle and blue pants. She's a brunette with green eyes. When everybody else gets back to work on their projects she turns around and tells North,
"I'm so sorry that I'm late, this school is so big. I couldn't find the class."
"It is ok. Just make sure to get used to ze school during zis vweek." She nods and he tells her that she can sit anywhere. And guess where she happens to sit. Right next to me. After a few minutes of awkward silence, I say,
"I can draw you a map of the school."
"Oh...thanks." She says shyly.
"So you're new here?" Duh, fucking idiot.
"Um, yah, I guess."
"How can you guess?"
"I don't know." I don't ask her anything else, only because I'm making it more awkward than it already is. A few minutes later and she says,
"You're a great artist."
"Huh?" I look beside me to see her looking over at my drawing of a dragon.
"Um...well...um..." I say trying to hide it and she giggles at me. She...she giggled at me? No girl at this school ever giggled at me.
"Do you have any siblings?" She asks me.
"No, unfortunately. But then again it's not completely unfortunate."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, if my parents were to have another child that child would probably bully, screw around with my stuff, and would most likely be the favorite one of the both of us."
"I see."
"Do you have any siblings?"
"Yes, one. He's very overprotective of me. His name is Jackson, but everybody calls him Jack. He's more active than I am and will ever be. We're both adopted, but we grew up in the same adoption center together and what not. So we've decided to consider our selves like a real brother and sister."
"I see." Jackson, hmm. What was their last name again?
"We have a cousin that goes here. Not blood related, but to the family that had adopted us that's who he's blood related to." Now that I think about it, Mr. North let her off pretty easily. Normally he's not that nice to new students. He'd give them another day or so...is he their adopted father? Naw, that would be too weird. I mean who would want to go to the same school that their parents teach at. That's kind of weird.
"Wait so...who's your cousin?"
"E. Aster Bunny." Oh, no. Not him. He's the worst. "Hey, are you alright?"
"Yah, it's fine. I...uh...yah." I say turning around trying to not show her that I'm scared shitless. He's going to kill me when he finds out I've been talking to his cousin...or maybe even her brother will kill me. Shit! What do I do? The bell rings and I get up and rush out of the room. I run to my locker and replace my sketch book with my Algebra 2 book. I was originally supposed to be in advanced math classes but I didn't want people to find another reason to make fun of me. I grab my stuff and rush off to class, trying to avoid any of the jocks. I get to class safely. I go to the back and sit down in my seat. A few minutes after the bell rang a kid walks in, he's kind of lanky but muscular, he has snow white hair (probably died it, because his eyebrows are brown), he is wearing a blue sweater, and tan pants along with some black Nike's. Great, he's like the kid in between the dorks and the jocks. I don't know what to do about him. Should I talk to him or should I just leave him be. I hear all the girls sigh and all that other girly shit that happens in those chick flick movies. His eyes are also hazel. Wait a minute, why am I so concerned about what he looks like? Shouldn't I be more concerned about that other new be. That girl...Rapunzel, I think her name was. I look up to see him staring at me. What the hell is his deal? I look down at my sketch book, the one I use for home and in the classes that nearly bore me to death. I see that I've been drawing him. What the fuck!?
"This is Jackson Overland. He's new here from West." Now, I know where I've heard that name. He's the top football player there. He was the freaking all star there.
"You can sit in that empty seat in the back." Mr. Sandman said. He never really talks so it's weird when he does. I watch as he walks to the back and he sits in the seat next to me. Mr. Sandman begins to teach the class. The new kid turns to me and asks,
"Can I borrow a pencil? I forgot mine." He smiles at me. What the hell? No one has perfect teeth like that! Ah, I'm so jealous right now. Wait a minute, I sound like a total girl right now.
"Um...sure, here." I say handing him a pencil. Our hands touch and I pull away quickly. What the fuck is wrong with me!? I never act like this. No way, I'm totally not gay. I don't go for that team.
"Thanks." He says and I look away paying attention to the notes that the blonde haired teacher was putting on the board.
It's finally lunch time and I sit at the table in the back. While I wait for Merida I take out my sketch book and turn the pages looking for a blank page. As I'm flipping through the pages I stop at the page with the picture that I drew of Jack. I look at the details and how I drew him perfectly.
"Hey, dumb ass what are you looking at?" I look up to see Merida standing there.
"That's a lot harsher than usual."
"Sorry, I've had a bad day. That new kid messed with me and put ice down my shirt during a project in history. How he got the ice, is still a mystery to me." I look up at her questioningly.
"Don't ask." I know that she doesn't like ice but what I would like to know is why someone would do something so mean to her.
"Anyways how's your day been?" I see her staring down at the sketch book and she cocks an eyebrow to It. I close it quickly and say,
"It's nothing." I put it into my book bag and I hear her giggling. "Wh-wh-what is it?"
"Nothing, just you're acting weirder than usual."
"What exactly is that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing. Nothing at all." She says sitting down across from me, smiling.
"The real question here is...what's your deal? You're more happy than usual." She looks up at me and says,
"I got asked out."
"WHAT!? By who?" She looks away and I know exactly who it is. "Meri, you know that he's going to mess with me. And now he can do it more often especially if you're dating him."
"I'm sorry Hic, but not everything goes just one person's way."
"But..."
"Listen Hiccup, I know you totally don't approve of me dating him, however you are not the eldest of the two of us and you are not me so."
"Meri I know I'm sorry."
"You know what Hic, I'm going to leave you today. I'm going to go eat with Aster."
"Meri, wait!" But she's already left the table. Did I say something wrong? It's true I don't approve of her dating him, but that's only because he hates me for no apparent reason. I sigh and go back to eating not even knowing that the weirdest and most dangerous thing was going to happen next.
