Hiccup+Astrid high school romance
Hey guys. Just a quick thing before we continue. I just wanted to say thank you for the support so far and I'll try and make these chapters as quickly as possible. That being said, I'll try and upload a new chapter every 3-4 days, so that you can read up on the story so far.
Also, a side note to all who are wondering; I do kickboxing as a hobby, so I know how it all works. If you have any questions about it, just ask and I'll get back to you.
Hiccup couldn't believe it. Astrid, THE Astrid, was on top of him. This must be a dream he thought to himself. Just as Hiccup was trying to find a reasonable explanation for his 'luck', Astrid stood up and dusted herself down. She then glared at what had gotten in her way. "What the hell do you think your doing?!" Astrid all but shouted at him. She couldn't believe the nerve of this scrawny kid. Who did he think he was?
The boy got up, mumbling to himself. "What did you just say?" Astrid asked, furious. The boy jumped, as if he had forgotten that he had just knocked her over. "S-Sorry." was the boy's only response, looking at the ground as if there was something interesting on it. Astrid was about to yell again when she heard Ruff yell "Come on Hofferson, I thought you were fast." With that, Astrid sprinted away.
She could see Ruff now, but she could also see the school gates. Unfortunately, Ruff was standing by the gates. "Well well well, looks like you've got a months work of extra homework." Ruff chuckled to herself. Astrid pouted. "No fair, some dork knocked me over, it doesn't count." Astrid crossed her arms. "Hey, that's not my problem." Ruff stated matter-of-factly.
Astrid rolled her eyes at her friend, knowing she couldn't win this argument. The bell rang just as they were walking down the slope. "Hey, what about your brother? Is he skipping school again?" Astrid asked. "Nah, he just left early so he could walk with your lover." Ruff smirked at Astrid. Astrid glared at her "I wish you'd stop saying that, I don't even like him."
Just as they entered the building, two people exited the toilets. One of them was like Ruff. If Ruff was a boy. And taller. This was Harold 'Tuffnut' Thorston. Next to him was a slightly taller, more beefy boy, with brown hair and hazel eyes. This just happened to be Ryan Snotlout, or Snotty as some people called him. Ryan looked over at the two girls. He just glanced over Ruff, but his gaze fixed on Astrid. He gave her a toothy smile (imagine Flynn Rider, only 15) and moved in. "Hello darling, how are you today."
Astrid placed a hand over his face and pushed him away, causing him to trip and fall over. "I'm fine snotty, but I would like to get to my form, so if you will excuse us." and with that, Ruff and Astrid stepped over Ryan, who was still rubbing his head. "Hey Tuff." Astrid greeted Ruff's brother, then proceeded to walk up the stairs. At the first floor, Ruff started making her way to her form. "This is so unfair. Why do you get first floor and I get top floor?" Astrid asked her friend. Ruff smirked at her friend "Pot luck." She replied before walking down the hall. Astrid snorted and made her way upstairs.
She just managed to get into form before the late bell rang. "Just in time, aren't ya lassie?" said the form tutor. He was quite fat, with two prosthetics; one arm and one leg. He had a blonde handlebar mustache, and was bald. "Sorry Gobber, just got held up." Astrid said, a little out of breathe. "I didn't say you were late, did I? Go on, take yer seat." Astrid nodded, moving too sit down.
Just as Astrid sat down, Gobber turned on the projector. He was about to start talking about their task as the door opened. Astrid looked up. She was usually the last one in, so she was curious to see who was late. It looked like everyone else was already in their seats. Then, she saw him. The same kid who had knocked her over. What was he doing here? He didn't belong here. Maybe he had a message for one of them? Or had gotten lost? Or was-"Hiccup? I thought you were ill, your not usually late." Gobber said too the boy. "Sorry Gobber, just a little late out of the house I guess." the boy said. Gobber sighed. "Well, go and take your seat so I can tell everyone the task for this mornin'," Gobber said.
Astrid watched as the boy went and sat down two tables in front of her. How had she not noticed? This scrawny kid, who had knocked her over, sat two tables in front of her and she didn't even remember him. Well, she would give him a piece of her mind.
Hiccup stood up, dusting himself down. He was still trying to figure out what had happened. He could hear something behind him, but was too busy talking to himself. "Did that really just happen? Actually, what happened?" He was pulled out of his head by Astrid yelling at him. "What did you just say?" Hiccup jumped about three feet, turning to face a furious looking Astrid. It looked like she was going to tear him limb from limb.
"S-Sorry" he managed to stutter. He glanced up and it looked like she was about to say something else when her friend called back to her. Astrid shoved past him, eager to catch her friend. Hiccup stayed in place, rooted to the spot, dazed by what had just happened. Suddenly, he fell to the ground. He pulled out an inhaler and took a puff. He started to calm down. That whole thing had disrupted his breathing.
He stayed on the ground a moment longer, trying to think. In the distance a bell went off. It took a second for Hiccup to realize what it was, but when he did, he started rushing. Oh crap, I'm gonna be late. As he got into the building, he saw Ryan and Tuff. For whatever reason, Ryan was on the floor, rubbing his head whilst Tuff was laughing at him. Hiccup managed to get past without much trouble, and started making his way upstairs.
As he reached the first floor, the late bell rang. "Shit." He muttered to himself "So much for a clean record." He meandered the rest of the way. As he made his way into form, he could see Gobber about to set the task. "Hiccup? I thought you were ill, your not usually late." Gobber said to him as he entered. Out of the corner of his eye, he could of sworn that Astrid was staring at him.
"Sorry Gobber, just a little late out of the house I guess." Hiccup responded. Yep, she was defiantly looking at him. Was that good? Gobber sighed. "Well, go and take your seat so I can tell everyone the task for this mornin',"Hiccup walked over to his seat, still aware of Astrid looking at him.
The task was pretty easy, Hiccup was able to blitz through it. The bell rang for first period (English) so he picked up his bag and left before anyone else had even stood up. He was just about to start down the corridor when he was shoved and put into an empty classroom. He was then pinned to the wall by Astrid. Before he could say anything, she whispered to him "Listen, I don't care who you are, or what your problem is, got it? Just stay out of my way or I will destroy you." And without another word, she left Hiccup, once again dazed by Astrid.
So, that happened. Looks like Hiccup's in some major trouble. If only they could stop running into each other. But I think that they're gonna have to put aside their differences. But you'll have to wait for that.
Again, thank you for the support, and try thinking of some better titles. I'll give the person who comes up with the best one a shout out in the next chapter. Also, I think we'll be seeing Fishlegs in the next few chapters.
