I received many positive reviews, Thank you! Very much!
CHAPTER 2
ASTRID's P.O.V.
I walked to the house next door,
O gosh, this is going to be awkward for me, I told myself as I approach the door. I tried calming myself, but there is no turning back. .dun!
I knocked on the door, I waited for a few minutes for someone to open it then...
"Oh, Hello" a Lady with Auburn hair and eyes green as a grass of meadow opened the door.
"Hi" I said. Dumbly.
I stared at her for a sec. I was panicking so much.
"Oh, here. We would like you to have this Ma'am" I replied smiling.
"Thank you Dear, and please. Call me Mrs. Val" she answered
"Okay, here Mrs. Val" I agreed
"Why don't you come in?" she offered smiling sweetly at me,
I politely stepped in their house; it's very nice and Homey... As you walk in the door you will see their living room, with its sky blue color, it is very pleasing to the eyes. I also noticed a piano at the right.
"Please wait here" she said. And I nodded in response
I sat on a couch, and saw a long hallway further beside me, and if you think it's just a straight hall, you are wrong, you can turn right. And you're already in their kitchen, if you turn left. Well there's their dining table. No doors, just as opening so I happen to see it. At the very end of the hall was the stairs.
I saw her walk down the hall and.
"Hiccup, honey come down for a minutes please," She called from the stairs
Hiccup?! That's a weird name... I thought
"Mom why?"
"You need to meet our new neighbor" Mrs. Val replied
"Okay, I'll be there"
I noticed some photos on top of the table next to me.
A big figured Man, a Baby and Mrs. Val
Then the next was The Big figured man, wearing suit, Mrs. Val very lovely at her red dress. And the boy, Hiccup. I bet he's like 6 in here,
"He's scrawny looking..." I said.
I jolted when I heard a glass break, I turned around, and there was a guy standing. Staring at me, his mouth hanging open.
I don't know how to react, I just stared at him my mouth hanging also.
Not long after, Mrs. Val came,
"What happened?" she asked with much concern
Her son went back suddenly in reality, "Oh, Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!" He said. Starting to carelessly pick up the broken pieces of glass,
Mrs. Val went back to the kitchen to get some rag or something.
And I was just standing there. Not aware of what I should do, he made a big mess on their carpet I thought. OH SHUT UP ASTRID TRY TO BE HELPFUL! My mind has its own orders. Creepy.
"Ouch!"
The Guys winced in pain which startled me a little, I saw blood draining out of his fingers.
Usually it's small amount of blood, but no. It was like a river flowing.
Blood! He's hurt, am I just going to stand here?!
I was really panicking, I don't know what to do, should I leave? No! that will be impolite... right.
Mrs. Val came holding a rag in her hand. When she saw that her son's hand was bleeding, she was very shocked, "O-gosh Hiccup! Look what happened to you!" she said.
She dropped the rag on the floor and went back to get something, not long after, she have the medicine kit with her,
"Hiccup, stop that and get over here" she demanded, her voice filled with worry.
"Oh, no. Mrs. Val, Please let me help," I offered.
I don't really know where and how I said that finally,
"Thank you" she said, and handed me the first aid.
I waited for the guy, Hiccup to go to me so I could help him with his bleeding hand. Why is he walking so slow?! His hand is bleeding!
I moved a space for him at the couch, he seated beside me and let me have his hand. The cut was huge. I feel myself turn soggy in the sight of it.
"Does it hurt?" I asked while I clean it,
He shook he's head
I continued my work, while Mrs. Val was cleaning up the mess, I looked at his soon, clearly. He's avoiding to looking at me,
This is awkward. I thought
I wrapped the wound in bandage and thankfully it stopped bleeding.
"There you go," I said. Forcing a smile even it was so awkward for me, He nodded, "Thanks" he mumbled.
We sat their awkwardly, Mrs. Val was finished and returned to the living room,
"I'm sorry I made you wait," She said. Wiping her hand with the end of her Blouse
"It's ok Ma'am, It was no problem," I said smiling and standing up, putting the first aid kit on the couch , "I guess, I have to go," I said.
"Oh, okay. Thank you for that Mac and cheese Dear," she said with a smile, "Hiccup, why don't you lead her to the door" she continued
I looked at him, he looked at his Mom, "O-okay" he said unsure. I went to the door, I'm aware that he's just behind me,
I got through the door, "Bye" I said, "Bye" he replied, as he made a small crack at the door, and finally closing it,
Taking a few seconds, I breathed out a sigh of relief,
"That was far off, one of the most awkward situation I have been in my entire existence like oh gosh!"
I walked back to the house, In I go, pass the kitchen where…
"How did it go? I'm glad your still alive," Lisa teased
"You don't know what just happened, But. I'm alive and breathing thank you!" I replied, going straight upstairs,
"Oh Hey! Our stuff from the Airport just came!" Lisa shouted,
"Thank you!" I replied.
As I got in, I saw my suitcase on my bed, I excitedly opened it and I took out my laptop and my Samsung galaxy note.
"Gosh! I've been waiting for this!" The thought of having these things made me really happy, cause if I don't do anything. I spend most of my time in the internet.
I was ready to feel the presence of social media again, when I realized. We still don't have an internet
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"Astrid?! Are you okay?"
Lisa might have heard me,
"Um, Yes! Perfectly fine!" I replied,
"You know, sometimes your freaking me out Astrid!" I heard her answer
Okay, okay, I freak people out...
I sighed in annoyance to think we don't have internet, I won't get updated about stuff. So I decided to work on my clothes, when I realized, I have no cabinet to put them into, I thought of going in the other rooms to check if they have a spare
And luckily, they do. It wasn't really hard to bring it to my room because it had wheels.
HICCUP's P.O.V.
I closed the door and tried to avoid my Mom about what happened,
"Hiccup?" she called,
"Mom! Look I'm sorry! I didn't mean to break the glasses! I-
"The glasses were just fine, Dear. Does it hurt?" she asked.
I looked at my hand that was perfectly bandaged by, Astrid...
"Yep, I'm good" I answered walking down the hall heading for the stairs.
"You know she looks familiar..." My mom started which made me stop
Please don't remember my poster of her in my room, please don't remember it!
"She's the girl in the poster in your room! Is she?!"
I give up. Mom
"Yes?" I replied.
Please don't say anything more please? Please?
"No, wonder she looks so familiar, oh well. Dinner is almost done" she said
"Okay.. I'll be in my room,"
I walked upstairs and As I entered, I landed on my bed, I stood up to peek at my window and she is putting her clothes in her cabinet,
I went back lying on my bed,
So, she's our new neighbor, Astrid Hofferson. My celebrity crush! She looked so beautiful in person. The way her really soft hands touched mine.
"And the way I was humiliated in front of her!"
I got up from my bed and remembered just what happened, I looked at the poster my Mom was talking about and I took it from the wall. I fold it and placed it at the very deep place in my drawer. Of course I wouldn't rip her poster. But I should take it off, she might see it and think of it as. Creepy.
I personally don't want to freak her out.
My mind went back to the last 30 minutes that have happened. My life is a total failure!
"I've met my celebrity crush! And she met me, I'm not sure if she knows my name, but if she does, that's so embarrassing! AND THE WORST PART IS! MY FIRST TIME MEETING HER I WAS A TOTAL HUMILIATION! A NERD! AGH!"
Hiccup, just calm down. Everything will be fine. She's an actress, she'll meet you and forget you again
The thought of it made me a little better, but I hope she knows how much I stalk her in every social media I know she has. Yes creepy. But I'm a fan, don't judge me,
I still dream of that follow back in twitter.
"Never mind. Impossible to happen anyway"
I let my mind pass out to bunch of things, When I heard the door close
"I'm Home!" a big thunder of voice called
I went downstairs because when my Dad arrives, It means Dinner.
When I got downstairs, We all settled. Said our graces and started eating. Our Dinner was Mac and Cheese, which Astrid brought. It was heavenly delicious.
My Dad talked to us about his Day at work. And he told me how I feel going back to school and I said. I'm good going back even if I'm really not. My mom also told him that the food we were eating was from our neighbor. Leaving the part where I broke the glasses and the one who brought us the food was the girl in the poster in my room.
And after Dinner, Dad pulled something and gave it to me. Wrapped in an old paper. I opened it. It was a book. "Mark Of Athena" the third book in the series Heroes of Olympus.
"Wow! Dad. Thanks" I said looking excitedly to start reading it. I have read the first books and it was awesome
"Well go on, you can read it upstairs" He said
"Thanks Dad" I said again before leaving.
ASTRID's P.O.V.
I finished putting my clothes in the cabinet, after that We had dinner. Lisa told me that I should get some sleep because tomorrow, We are going to meet some of the cast, producers. And the Director of the movie I'm going to be in. They said we have to set meetings before we start,
After Dinner, I did get my sleep to prepare myself for meetings..
HICCUP's P.O.V.
The next morning I woke up. Two days left before school starts again. I ran down to the backyard, I went to a dog house where Toothless should be.
He also has a weird name.
I lifted it up, and He's not there. Usually he stays inside the house, but he peed on the carpet and needed some discipline. This happens sometimes.
"He ran Off!" I said. I'm sure it's about 9 in the morning. I went back inside to tell my mom.
Dad was early gone for work. Mom was making her coffee, "MOM! TOOTHLESS RAN AWAY!" I said.
"Nah, He's probably around here" she said.
"NO MOM! HE IS!" I looked at my Mom with worried eyes.
"Oh gosh I'll call the pound" She said going to the phone. I went back upstairs to start making some fliers that I lost my Dog.
Not long after My Mom came in and told me they don't have Toothless. I got really worried and Started printing copies out.
I have like 20 copies, I don't care. I haven't had breakfast it's like 9:30, I went out to stick some posters, hoping to find him quick.
ASTRID's P.O.V.
We just got back from the meeting. It's 2:30 in the afternoon. We just discovered that there is a possibility the movie might be cancelled due to the lack of budget. But I already flew to this place for that movie and it has the possibility to be cancelled? Plus, I denied two new movie projects just for it.
This is so much problem.
I entered my room just to see my room messy as hell. As if a Tornado passed here and left everything topsy turvy, My Bed was a mess, My blanket in on the floor, my pillows are everywhere. The books were on the floor!
I spotted something moving under my blanket. I slowly moved towards it and pulled the sheet off.
I should have gotten angry because I found out who did this to my room
"aww! A dog!"
I saw a black beagel in my room. I saw the collar in his neck "Toothless" that's a pretty weird name.
I lifted up and he was so cute, "I'm sure someone is looking for you but I'm going to keep you safe until I find your owner."
OK, how do you like this one XD!
