Chapter 2, Introduction:
After school that day, Hiccup walked towards the school's library with Fishlegs trailing behind.
"I still can't believe we got detention," Fishlegs muttered. "I didn't even do anything. You punched Snotlout in the nose."
"For the last time, Fishlegs, I'm sorry."
"We were gonna play chess."
"I'm quite aware of that. And again, I'm sorry."
In the library, there were six tables, two lines of three. In the front two tables, a blond boy and girl were talking to each other, and in the back, a girl wearing a leather jacket had her feet propped up on the table.
"Where'd you two come from?" The blond boy said upon seeing Hiccup and Fishlegs enter the room.
"Excuse me?" Hiccup said.
"Usually there's just us three in detention," the girl sitting at the table next to him added. "Small school, not enough troublemakers."
Snotlout stormed into the room as well and sat down in the middle row, behind the boy. Fishlegs took a seat next to Snotlout, and Hiccup sat next to the girl with the leather jacket.
Attempting to make conversation, Hiccup turned towards the girl and held out his hand. "Hey, I'm Hiccup," he introduced himself.
The girl just rolled her eyes and turned her chair so her back was facing Hiccup.
"Oh my Thor, Hiccup, you can't just go around trying to be friends with everyone!" Snotlout said from the seat in front of him. "Especially not jail-bird bitches like her."
"Oh, can it, you prick!" the girl turned around briefly to tell Snotlout off.
"I'm just saying, I know why you're here."
The girl got up and approached his table. "Screw off, boy, or else I'll punch you in the nose so hard, you're gonna wake up and it'll be summer."
"Too late for that one. He's already punched me in the nose." Snotlout pointed to Hiccup.
The girl looked Hiccup up and down. "You don't look like the kind of guy who would get detention from punching someone," she said.
"Looks can be deceiving, I guess." Hiccup shrugged.
The principal came into the library and looked at the clock. "You guys are going to be here until five o'clock. No talking, no passing notes, no nothing. I'll be in my office if you need me, and hopefully you won't." The principal left again, and shut the door behind him.
"What do you guys wanna do?" The blonde girl asked.
"But aren't we're supposed to just sit here and do nothing?" Fishlegs said. "You know, no talking, no nothing?"
The blond guy laughed. "We're in detention every day. We never sit around. The principal doesn't actually care what goes on in here, as long as we don't make too much noise."
"This is so dumb." Snotlout complained slouching in his chair.
"If you didn't want to be in detention, then you shouldn't have done something to warrant a detention, dumb-ass." Astrid said, sitting back down in her chair.
"At least you weren't suspended," Hiccup said with a shrug.
"I'm not sure why everyone is so scared of being suspended," the girl in the leather jacket added. "I mean, I've been suspended loads of times, and I personally enjoyed it. It's like a student holiday, but only for me."
"That's an awfully optimistic way to think about suspension."
"When it happens to you every other month, the only options are to be optimistic, or just complain, and I'm not gonna be a whiny bitch when I get punished for something I did."
"I like the way you think."
"Strange. Most people don't." She took her feet of the desk and sat straighter. "I'm Astrid, by the way."
"Hiccup. Though, I already told you that earlier."
Snotlout rolled his eyes. "Of course Hiccup just happens to make friends with the criminal. Who would've thought?" he said sarcastically.
"I mean, he is pretty charismatic," Fishlegs said.
"What?"
"You don't know what charismatic means?" the blond guy asked.
"I don't think he knows what any word that has over six letters means." Astrid said with a smirk.
"I know what bitch means. You."
Hiccup furrowed his brow. "Snotlout, that's five letters."
"Well, like I fricken care!"
"So," Astrid got up from her chair and sat on the table. "You're Hiccup, the illiterate dumbass is Snotlout, so what are the rest of your names?"
"I'm Fishlegs," Fishlegs said.
"I'm Ruffnut. Ruff for short." The blonde girl said.
"And I'm Tuffnut. Tuff for short." The boy next to her said. "Aka, the better twin."
"Yeah, right," Ruff rolled her eyes.
"You two are twins?" Fishlegs asked.
"Yeah, that's what we said, isn't it?"
"Oh, sorry."
I'm going to try to write as much as possible, so the next chapter should be up by next week.
