Wow this story really took off! Thanks so much for all the favs, follows and of course, the reviews. Now to the one that HATES MODERN AUs. Let me just say FUCK YOU TOO! JK, but seriously in the canon universe of HTTYD when do they ever say the words middle school, or high school? Honestly it should have been pretty self-explanatory that this was a modern AU. I actually haven't stopped laughing since you reviewed this story… In the future please refrain from lashing out at me for stuff you don't seem to enjoy, because I'm not forcing you to read it.

Now for those of you that DID enjoy the prologue, I'm back with the official first chapter! Enjoy!

Chapter 1: One Year Later

WHAM! SLAP! SLAM! PUNCH! "You're nothing but a hiccup!" WHACK! SLAP! BOOM! PUNCH! "A small weak little hiccup!" SLAM! BOOM! BAM! SLAP! "Our friendship never happened." WHAM! SLAP! PUNCH! BOOM! "Neither I, nor anyone else would ever want to be caught socializing with someone like you." WHACK! SLAM! BAM! BOOM! "I will never go out with you." WHACK! PUNCH! SLAP! KICK! "You're nothing but a hiccup." WHACK! WHAM! BOOM! SLAM! "That's all you'll ever be." BOOOOOOM! The abused punching bag had finally had enough as the chain it was hanging from broke and it flew into the wall.

He stood there breathing hard, sweat rolling down his muscular neck, onto his broad shoulders, before making it to his chiseled abs. He sighed heavily, the memory still fresh in his mind. It had been one year since that day. The day he would never forget, the day his life changed forever, the day he vowed revenge.

He cut all contact with the outside world. His father, the principle of Berk High school, Stoick Haddock had given him a weird look when he asked to be homeschooled, but after hours of begging and reasoning Stoick agreed. Henry dropped out of public school and never spoke to anyone but his father, sister, uncle, or tutor.

He not only began homeschooling, he started working out. His dad had a workout room in the basement, which he used almost every chance he got when he wasn't being tutored. It had taken him months to get to where he was now. What was once skin and bone was now rock hard muscle. What was once a 5'2 bag of bones was now a 6'1 tower of abs.

He walked over to the work out bench where he kept his bag. He reached into the bag and pulled out a towel, which he wrapped around his neck to soak up the sweat. He pulled out a bottle of water and proceeded to gulp the entire thing. As he was leaving the room he stopped in front of the body mirror by the door. He looked at himself, impressed with his progress.

He struck a pose, flexing his biceps, watching the veins pop out of his skin. He struck another pose, flexing his abs. Damn he looked good. He eyed his hair. It was no longer the shade of red like it was on the day he got rejected, no now it was more of a brown. He struck another pose. He just couldn't keep his eyes off the mirror. He was so distracted by his reflection that he failed to hear the heavy footsteps coming down the stairs.

"Look out! We got ourselves a narcissist over here!"

Henry looked at the source of the voice and found his sister standing at the bottom of the stairs. "Very funny Emma. But even you have to admit," he turned to face her and flexed, "I look amazing like this." Emma was a year older than him. She was his unofficial 'spy'. She kept an eye on Astrid throughout her freshman year, keeping Henry up to date on what she was doing, who she was hanging out with, etc. Apparently after rejecting him she went on to another group of friends and immediately forgot about him… Just like she said she would.

Emma rolled her eyes before moving over to the bench and lounging on it. "You know that no girl is ever gonna fall for a guy that's full of himself. Especially Astrid."

He gave her a confident look before smiling, showing off perfect pearly white teeth. "That's where you're wrong. Remember my motto?"

Emma stroked her chin deep in thought. "Never leave the seat up?"

Henry went from confident to shocked. "N-N-Not that one!"

Emma stroked her chin harder. "Save some for me?"

Henry sighed annoyed. "No." Emma continued to stroke her chin. Henry knew she knew what he was talking about, she was just playing the annoying sister role.

He sighed. "Everything depends on whether you're hot or not."

Emma's hand flew into the air. "Oh! That one!"

Henry sighed again before going back to posing in front of the mirror. Suddenly he heard what sounded like the rustling of a bag. He looked over at her to find her opening a bag of bar-b que potato chips. She pulled a chip out and crunched on it before noticing him staring. "How can you eat junk food this early in the morning?" he asked.

She pulled out another chip. "Want one?" She offered it to him.

Henry crossed his arms in an x across his chest and backed away. "Never!"

She shrugged. "Suit yourself." She continued crunching on chips while he posed in front of the mirror. "Why do you keep doing that?"

"I'm setting an example for myself." He posed again. "Anyway, what's the situation with Astrid? What classes will she be taking?"

Emma had finished her bag of chips and pulled out another one. "Besides core classes she'll be taking swim as her P.E credit, and she joined the orchestra as well."

Henry stopped staring at the mirror and turned to look at her. "Did you make sure that dad took care of the preparations?"

She nodded. "He seemed confused when I asked him to give you and her the same classes, but once I reminded him what she did to you, he was more than happy to agree. The only classes you don't have with her are orchestra, history, and geometry. He had to make it look convincing, so he made sure to leave a few classes out."

Henry nodded. "Good." He turned to flex again. This year he was returning to the public eye. He had gotten all of his freshman credits through homeschooling and was now going to start his sophomore year back in the public school system. With his dad being the principle and uncle the superintendent it wasn't difficult for his records to be found and updated.

"Emma! Henry!" A deep voice called from upstairs. "Breakfast is ready!"

Emma was quick to run back up the stairs, but Henry wanted to stay and enjoy his reflection a little longer. But his sister had other plans as she ran back down and brutally dragged him away from the mirror and up the stairs. Even after a whole year of working out, he was still weaker than his older sibling. Typical.

She drug him into the kitchen and sat him down. "Here we are!" She said cheerfully, a huge smile on her face.

"Don't drag me around like that!" Henry shouted.

Emma didn't respond, she simply sat down across from him and began to dig into her breakfast. "Henry?" Stoick asked from the counter. He was pouring himself a bowl of cereal. "Can you go put a shirt on?"

"Huh?" Henry looked down at himself. "Oh! Of course!" He ran up the stairs at lightning speed before running back down just as fast with a plain white t-shirt covering his torso.

"Thank you." Stoick said around his spoon. He sat down as well before grabbing a pastry.

"What is this?" Henry asked. "Pastries? Pancakes? Lucky Charms? Dad all of these are high in Trans fats!"

Stoick was drinking the milk from his bowl. When he finished he looked at his son quizzically. "It's been a year son. Don't you think it's time to start coming off this lifestyle you're living, and return to something a little more normal?"

Emma was finishing up on her second stack of pancakes. She had such fast metabolism she could eat what she wanted and not have to worry about weight gain. "I agree. You need to lighten up Henry. What are you going to do once you get your revenge? Are you going to continue getting stronger?"

Henry involuntarily looked inside his shirt at his abs. Emma threw a pastry at him. It hit him in the head before falling into his shirt. Henry gave her an irritated look which she returned with an innocent smile. "Maybe I will." He answered. He pulled the pastry out of his shirt before throwing it back at her. "Maybe I'll go for another girl that appreciates me, instead of leading me on for eight years before slapping me in the face and leaving me in the rain."

Emma easily caught the pastry and sighed. "I'm sorry for what happened, but I'm just thinking about your future." She looked at her dad who returned her gaze. "We both are."

"Your sister is right son." Henry groaned. "Since you're returning to the public this year I want you to focus more on what's going on around you. Don't forget that there's more to life than Astrid Hofferson."

"Thanks dad." He muttered. He stood up abruptly causing the table and the contents upon it to shake.

"Where are you going?" Emma asked as she nibbled on the pastry that was thrown at her.

"To take a shower. I have to look presentable if Astrid is going to notice me." Emma and Stoick sighed as the delusional Henry walked up the stairs leaving his breakfast untouched.

An hour later he was clean, serene and ready to put his plan of revenge into action. He went through his closet. He had to find something that really got people's attention. Something that would get him noticed. Of course he was essentially going to be the new kid, so everyone was going to notice him anyway. Eventually he decided to go with a simple green t-shirt and blue jeans. The shirt hugged his stomach showing off the body he had worked so hard to get. He left his hair a mess, allowing his eyes to remain covered. He didn't want Astrid to recognize him.

"Henry!" Emma called from downstairs. "Are you posing in the bathroom now?"

"Maybe!" He called back as he put his shoes on.

"Well hurry up before I leave you behind!"

He knew she was serious. One time when they were both in elementary school they were at a Wal-Mart and he was admiring something in the toy aisle. She told him to hurry up and pick or she would leave him behind. He didn't listen and proceeded to inspect the toys for another ten minutes. When he looked up she nor their father were nowhere to be found. It took an employee to hunt down his family while he cried in their lounge. Luckily Emma had gotten in trouble for the incident and their father grounded her.

Not wanting to test her he tied his laces up before running down the stairs as fast as he could. But unfortunately he didn't make it very far as one of the laces came loose. "Ahhhh!" He fell down the remaining stairs his body landing on the floor with a loud thud. "Ow." He groaned.

Stoick came running in from his office opposite the dining room. "What was that?"

Emma couldn't stop laughing. She bent over, squeezing her sides. "Ha ha ha ha ha!" She dropped her backpack to the floor before falling over. She laughed harder, her body shaking uncontrollably as she rolled around crying.

"Don't ruin my stairs." Stoick ordered.

"You got it dad." Henry groaned from the floor.

Emma laughed harder. "Yeah Henry! Don't ruin the stairs!" Henry gave her an irritated look, but said nothing.

Through her laughing fit Emma had managed to open her eyes long enough to look at her watch. Through her tears she got a look at the time, and her laughing immediately shut off. "Oh my look at the time." She abruptly stood up and grabbed her backpack. "Come on Henry."

Henry was sitting on the stairs retying his shoes when he was suddenly drug out the door by his sister. "Hey! At least let me tie my shoes!" But she didn't listen as she dragged him into the garage and practically shoved him into the passenger seat of her blue SUV.

Technically the SUV belonged to their mother, but she died in a plane crash two years ago, and Stoick never got rid of the car. He finished paying it off, and gave it to Emma on her 17th birthday. It was a very emotional moment for all of them.

She hopped into the driver seat before starting the car and booking it out of the garage and onto the road. "Slow down!" Henry shouted as he attempted to finish tying his shoes, but her chaotic driving was making it difficult.

"Can't!" She shouted. "We only have 30 minutes until first bell!" Hiccup muttered under his breath as he finally got both his shoes tied. He sat up and exhaled loudly.

"So what's your plan?" She asked. She was finally driving the speed limit and was no longer all over the road dodging traffic.

"For what?" he asked.

"How are you going to kick start this plan of yours? She hasn't seen you in a year. She hasn't asked about you, she might not even remember you. She's hanging out with a whole different kind of crowd now. One that's difficult to get into."

"Let me worry about that. I've got it all figured out."

"You don't have a plan do you."

"Of course I do!" He shouted. "It's the greatest revenge plan in the history of revenge plans!" She turned into the school parking lot and drove over to her assigned parking space. Luckily it was near the school itself so they didn't have to walk very far.

She turned the car off. They both got out and proceeded to walk toward the building. "And what is this revenge plan of yours?" She asked as they reached the entrance.

He opened the door for her and gave her an evil smile. "You'll just have to watch and find out."

She shrugged. "Whatever. Meet me here after school or I'm leaving you behind."

"Yes ma'am." He muttered as he walked in behind her. He slowed down as she walked ahead, meeting up with some of her friends in the hallway. Henry looked around wide eyed. This was going to be his first high school experience, and it was also going to be the beginning of his improved life. The day he finally began his two phase revenge plan against Astrid Hofferson.

Phase One? Get Astrid to fall head over heels in love with him.

I know it's not much, but I really wanted to get this out. Chapter 2 will most likely follow just as quickly. I have this story mostly planned out and will attempt to update weekly, and of course continuously edit each chapter to keep the typos on the down chapter sizes will vary from small to large, so if a small chapter comes out, plz don't be alarmed as the next chapter will most likely be larger. Next couple of chapters will most likely be as long as this one. Again thanks for all the favs and follows! Till next time!
