Hiccup walked into the first class of the day. "English" he sighed taking a seat at the front of the class, soon everyone was walking in greeting each other and sitting down. Hiccup kept an eye out for Fishlegs who was nowhere to be seen. "Great," he said to himself. He was going to have to spend the entire year without the only person who doesn't think he's a complete waste of space. His day only got worse as in walked Snotlout, Ruffnutt and Tuffnutt. Snotlout sat behind him While Tuffnutt sat beside him and Ruffnutt sat behind her brother. Hiccup sighed and prepared himself mentally for the rough class ahead of him.
A teacher walked into the classroom and sat at the desk. She had black long hair, was wearing slim glasses and was a smart blue shirt with a white skirt "my name is Miss Smith and I will be your English teacher for the rest of the year" Hiccup couldn't help but think "well duh." suddenly Astrid burst into the room shouting "sorry I'm late I had trouble getting into my locker and I took a wrong turn" Miss Smith frowned at her "you get one pass as your new to the school miss?" "Hofferson...Astrid Hofferson" Hiccup stared at her "Astrid Haddock," he thought before instantly pushing the thought away turning red "come one hiccup you bearly know her!" he internally yelled at himself.
Astrid looked around the room and saw Snotlout pointing at the empty seat next to him. She gave an uncertain look at him before sitting in the empty seat next to Hiccup, much to Snotlouts dismay. Miss Smith looked around at the class "now because this is the first day I don't have any work for you so just sit back and talk BUT not too loudly." she said in firm voice before starting to type things onto her laptop. The class quickly got up and surrounded Astrid, asking her a bunch of questions "where did you come from" or "why did you move to berk" where the most common ones. Astrid didn't have time to answer any of them when Snotlout shooed them all away "They all just want to drool over you, but not us" he said waving to Ruff and Tuff " we are the best bet you have at surviving at this school" Astrid looked at them and smiled. They weren't all that bad and they seemed to be looking out for her even they were a little overprotective.
"Danm dude sorry," Fishlegs said to Hiccup. They were both sitting in the cafeteria at a table near a window "but at least you have Astrid beside you" Hiccup looked at him "well...yea I guess your right. But how can I talk to her she has the three toughest and scariest kids in school kicking the shit out of anyone who asks her even the smallest of questions" Hiccup sat his head down on the table "all I want is just a friend who doesn't think I'm a total loser" Fishlegs opened his mouth but was cut off by Hiccup "that isn't you" Fishlegs closed his mouth again "like you have a few different friends how did you meet them!" Hiccup asked and Fishlegs sighed "you have to promise you won't tell anyone about this" he had lowered his voice a bit "I have no one to tell " Hiccup whispered in a sarcastic tone "well there is this site called 'annon chat' and basically you fill out a form to sign up and it connects you with people that have similarities too" Fishlegs replied. Hiccup stared at him for a few seconds "really?" Hiccup said, "well what were you expecting?" Fishlegs said confused "I dunno probably some powder that magically makes someone nice to me," Hiccup said sarcastically. Fishlegs paused for a second then sighed "why don't you try it? You may find someone to hang out with during the weekends or who knows maybe at this school" before Hiccup could answer the bell rang, he and Fishlegs said goodbye to one another.
"Annon char?" Astrid asked. Her a Ruffnutt were walking towards their final class of the day "yea is a really cool website were you can talk to anyone that has similar interests with you" Astrid thought about it "how did you learn about it?" she asked Ruff "well me and my brother were just about to start high school when some older kids told us about it. We then searched it up made an account and soon we found Snotlout on it" Astrid must have looked surprised because Ruff continued "he was lonely and desperate when we started talking to us on it, I felt kinda sorry for him so we arranged to meet him and then a week later we became best friend and we've been that way since". Ruff smiled and Astrid laughed "well maybe I should try out the site. It could certainly be fun but I'm not sure Snot will like it that much" she said thinking to when he yelled at all the kids to stop 'drooling all over me'. "oh don't worry I'll make sure he doesn't find out". She winked and Astrid smiled. Out of 3, Ruff was definitely the kindest.
The final bell rang and Astrid walked to her locker and got her bag out. As she was leaving she saw a student running at her full speed. Before she could get out the way he bumped into her knocking her on her back and him, on his face. He quickly got up and grabbed Astrid's books for her "I'm s..sorry Astrid I..I didnt.." he was cut off by Astrid taking the books off him and in a slightly annoyed tone "watch where you're going" and stormed off not even looking at who hit her down.
At her house, Astrid looked around for her mother but she was nowhere to be seen. " she must still be at work" Astrid thought to herself before walked upstairs where she was greeted by a Blue masked lovebird flapping towards her whistling happily. "Hey Stormfly did you miss me?" she asked letting the bird climb from her head down to her finger. The bird chirped happily before cleaning its beak. Astrid giggled and put her bag on her bed and instantly went onto her computer and typed into the URL 'annon chat'.
"Ohhh toothless I messed up bad" Hiccup was laying down on his bed wishing he was dead "I bumped into the hottest girl in the world and the way she told me 'to watch where I'm going' there was just so much hate in her voice. What should I do bud?" Hiccup looked at toothless who was grooming himself and didn't look the slightest bit interested in Hiccup. He sighed and looked around his room and laid eyes on his computer. He thought back to what Fishlegs had said "ugh I can't believe I'm doing this" he thought to himself before moving his chair to the computer and searched 'annon chat'. He got into the website and started making an account. "Hmmm, name? Name name name". He looked around the room and saw the drawing he has off dragons. Hiccup loved dragons. They were incredible looking beast's that could tear down villages in a matter of minutes. He hovered over his drawing until he saw his favourite dragon. He then typed in the name 'Night Fury' luckily the name wasn't taken.
Astrid had finished her entire profile except for one part. she leaned back in her chair and sighed loudly. "Name," she said. She was never good at naming things. She looked around her room but could think of anything until her bird came flying down onto the front of her keyboard. "AHA," she shouted startling the bird. Astrid quickly picked her up and stroked her to calm her down "sorry for the yelling girl but you just gave me the perfect name." she typed it in and clicked the 'create account' option when right away she was thrown into a chat. "Well that was fast," she thought to herself before beginning to type.
You: Hi
Night Fury: Hey
Night Fury: First chat?
You: Yea. That obvious?
Night Fury: No just a guess
Night Fury: It's my first chat too
You: Neat.
You: How did you come across this site?
Night Fury: A friend suggested it to me. How about you?
You: Same
Night Fury: Cool
Hiccup pushed himself away from his computer. This was going nowhere. He knew the idea would be dumb. This was probably just some little kid wanting to make some friends. Then again he was some kid wanting to make friends. Hiccup sighed and went back to the computer.
You: This is awkward.
Stormfly: Tell me about it. I didn't think that talking to a stranger that may or may not be a paedophile could be so weird.
Hiccup smirked
You: haha. Well, I can confirm that I'm not a paedophile.
Stormfly: sounds like something a paedophile would say.
You: alright, alright. How can I convince you I'm not some creepy old man
Stormfly: Hmm let me see. Well, it says on your profile you go to berk academies. Tell me some trivia only a student would know.
You: ok well there are about 600 students which is around the average and the lockers numbers are completely random. Considering that my friend's locker is 138 and the ones next to him are 569 and 271.
Astrid smiled. She had only gone to that school for one day but already knew this kid was not lying to her. It was pretty weird for her that the lockers were not in order. That was another reason she was late to English
Night Fury: now give me a reason to show that you are what you say you are.
You: well there is an English teacher named Miss Smith
Night Fury: well ok then. That's enough evidence for me.
Hiccup smiled. This was getting better. Suddenly he heard the door slam open from downstairs. "Hiccup!" his father shouted at him "I've Brought home dinner" Hiccup sighed and typed.
You: sorry got to go. Dad's home with dinner.
Stormfly: alright then. See you later Night

Astrid got up and stretched. "That went a lot better than I thought it would," she said to herself. She thought about looking for someone else to chat with in the meantime but she just felt like she shouldn't. She liked Night Fury even though she didn't even know anything about him other than they both go to the same school. She sat at her desk and thought. "Maybe he's in my class" she wondered while stroking Stromfly.
"So how was your first day back?" Stoick asked. "It wasn't the worst I mean the kids tripped me up on the bus but other than that it was pretty decent" Hiccup replied not adding the part about Astrid. "Well, I guess its better than them constantly seeking you out to bully" Stoick boomed. Hiccup could never get over the fact of how loud his dad was. After dinner Hiccup walked back into his room and went right to his computer. He didn't know why he wanted to talk to Stormfly but he just had this urge too.
