Ok, first day of senior year. I have been waiting for this for two years.
And now I really wish I wasn't here.
I was hyped up. No, I am hyped up, Hicc is a lot less uptight now. But that's not my point. Hiccup has... changed. Many would say for the better, especially for the eyes. That there is my problem.
Yesterday when we went to breakfast all I could think about was how his arms flexed when he moved them, how the light made his jaw sharper or how... NO! Clear your head Astrid, it's only Hiccup. I bet it's my mind playing tricks on me.
Yeah, Hicc doesn't look like that, it's just my imagination.
"Ahhh." How did my locker close by its self.
"Astrid," oh it's just Ruffnut, "are you ok?"
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" Plastering on a smile for my wacky friend.
"Well, let's see. You've been staring into your locker for five minutes,-"
"I was thinking."
"-looking lovingly at a maths book."
"I have found a new found love in algebra."
"To the point of nearly drooling." Oh no, I should've known. Where there's a Ruffnut, there's a Tuffnut. They're practically joined at the hip. Neither can know what's going on in my head. Besides, the same thing will go through Ruff's head very soon.
"Hey guys, what's happening?" Fishlegs, not Fishlegs. He is actually smart enough to figure it out, if they tell him.
"We were just observing Astrid who's drooling, lovingly over 'algebra'." Ruff is officially added to my kill list.
"Hmm, symptoms of love." Another to add to the list. "Interesting, especially since-."
"So, babe, you've finally realised your deeply in love with me." Snotlout... Yuck. As if his presence isn't bad enough, he put his arm around my waist. I try to shake him off but it didn't work, he just snakes his arm around me again. I know it's hopeless, he's like a leech.
He's already on my kill list, if your wondering.
"Nope, it interesting as she has never acted like this before." Is Fishlegs looking at me... knowingly. This isn't good, if he doesn't shut up now... "And Hiccup came back two days ago." Great, now I have to add him to my kill list and I liked Fishlegs.
How could I let this happen, I'm usually good at hiding my feelings, they haven't managed to figure it out before. I'm usually not one to get lost in my thoughts, I'm screwed.
"What if I was fantasising about the cinnamon pancakes from IHOP I had yesterday while catching up with him." Partly true.
"Haha, funny babe. And Fishlegs, how could someone as perfect as Astrid go for someone like scrawny, little Hiccup?" Only if he knew.
"Oh sweet mama."
"Ruffnut, what are you-" she grabs my chin and turns my face to look at, guess who! Hiccup. Looks like it wasn't my imagination.
"Who the hell is that?" Trust Snotlout to get jealous. I guess if I was a dude, I would be to. Gods, he looks angry. His face is now twisting more and more as all the girls in the hall way start whispering, fixing their hair and make-up, accentuating their cleavage, boobs and butts. Could they be more obvious? Do they have dignity?
"I think we should stop staring, he looks uncomfortable." Fishlegs is now off of my kill list and also has a point. He's trying to avoid eye contact and trying to make himself looks small and blend. Too bad that won't work considering he's, I don't know, OVER 6" TALL AND GORGEOUS!
"Aww, it's like he doesn't know he's hot." Wise words Ruffnut, took them right out of my mouth
"No, the smug bastard just wants attention!" Ok, now I can't breathe. Snotlout may be 5"4' but damn, he's strong.
"Snotlout... Hurting... Me." Now I'm getting dizzy.
"Sorry babe." Unwinding his arm from me. Oh thank the gods. I should probably call Hicc over and save him from the needy, desperate girls who have gathered around him.
"Hiccup, over here." He find the source of my voice and then starts pushing through the pawing girls to get to us. Well, there's my good deed for the day.
Now my friends wouldn't have admitted to missing Hiccup but they are now frantically looking around for our old resident nerd. Except, obviously, he's not there and there eyes land on mr. Hot-stuff who's walking towards us.
"Morning," and he smiles at us. Man, I love his smile. His front two teeth that are slightly gaped and bigger than the rest of his teeth. It's cu... NO, stop it, get your head in place and answer him.
"Sup, Hicc. Whacha got first?" Good answer. Self five!
"Woah woah! Hiccup?" Snotlout sounds even angrier now, shit!
Wait what am I worried about? I spent the whole of yesterday drooling over how muscular he had become. Hiccup could kick Lout's ass. Let's also not forget that hiccup is about 10" taller than Lout, added bonus.
"Hahaha is this some joke or have I hit my head to many times?" Tuff says while ruff walks up to Hicc. He looks freaked out. I don't blame him, Ruff is now inspecting and FEELING UP his arm muscles. I want to do that! Wait, what? Don't get side tracked, Astrid!
He's trying to swat her away, phew. "Um... No. It's me and stop staring."
I punch Snot, to stop him glaring, and Tuff, to stop him gawking.
"Hey Hiccup. Lookin' good." I'm not impressed Ruff. Oh and well done, now Hicc looks terrified.
Fishlegs pulls Hiccup into a bear hug, thus pulling him away from Ruff. I love Fishlegs
"I missed you so much! I haven't had an intelligent conversation in two years!" Thanks, dude, your about to be put on my list again. AND HICCUP LAUGHS AT THIS, he's close to being on the list himself, he should watch it.
"Ugh... What class do you have?" I ask after Hicc is freed from Fishlegs' grip. I'm becoming impatient now. I hope he doesn't have gym. Please don't say gym.
"Haha, calm down. I have gym, you?" And he ruffles my hair. I'm screwed, I really am.
"Same." And fake smile.
Gym was bad. Terrible, even.
I'm usually awesome at sport, especially volleyball. Which was what we were playing.
But no, today I was awful. We were put in teams randomly by Mr. Bunnymund, our gym teacher.
And Hiccup was in mine.
But my luck doesn't end there. YAY! (Note the sarcasm)
I couldn't stop looking at him. He was mesmerising. The way his calf muscles rippled when he moved around the court, how you could see the well formed 'v' shape when he jumped to spike the ball. I could go on.
He was amazing and I wasn't. He distracted me AND made me feel inferior at my specialty sport.
It also turns out I share FIVE other classes with him. We also sit together... in all of them.
Don't think I forgot about Ruff trying to... 'get closer' to him.
Snotlout glaring at him through jealously.
All the rest of the girls acted like Ruff. The rest of the boys acted like they didn't care but I know they did.
Tuff and Fishlegs, luckily, didn't give two shits. I love those two.
Overall, today was awful.
This is what the rest of my year will be like.
Kill. Me. Now.
