Chapter 2
NOTE: Even less words. Sorry guys, I'm tired, so I couldn't write much without having my story gone on complete nonsense. I had to stop before I fell asleep on the keyboard. But next chapter will be WAY longer, I promise. So just enjoy, and thanks. And boy, I do need a nap *yawn*...
The two boys were already inside the arena. Hiccup was calm, but Kyle seemed about to have a nervous breakdown.
"Relax" said Hiccup. "They'll like you. You're a nice guy, you'll see how you will learn how to train a dragon in no time.
"Are you sure, Hiccup? " Kyle said, unsure. "I don't know if I can do that. It's a lot of pressure. "
"Stay calm, you'll be fine " He said Hiccup.
The training had gone well. Kyle already knew all of Hiccup's friends, who discovered that the boy was Astrid's cousin, actually. Everyone liked Kyle, even though Snotlout was kind of disturbed by the fact that many girls looked to Kyle when the boy passed near them. And Snotlout wondered how the kid did not care for that very fact. Actually, Kyle seemed to be extremely oblivious to everything and everyone. He didn't even seem to notice that he dominated a Gronkel in the first day of training. And that such fact had drawn the attention of practically every girl in the village. And they still found Kyle cute. Even Ruffnut seemed impressed. But what changed is that she would like to give on the boy some punches for that.
Kyle did not seem connected to anything that happened so far. He seemed to be thinking about something he did not want share with anyone else.
Actually, Kyle Hiccup's friends and the boy himself. And that was why he had to withdraw. Stay away from them all. At least for today.
Later, when Hiccup and Astrid asked what was wrong, the boy insisted that everything was fine and that he was just tired. Hiccup and Astrid had no choice but to accept the fact that if something was wrong with Kyle, he did not want others to know what it was, and stopped trying to make the boy confess something that maybe was a lie.
"He only doesn't want to bother" said Hiccup to Astrid, when Kyle walked away somewhere, still thinking. "Believe me, he's just shy. He was one of the very few guys where he lived, and everyone thought he was weird. And he's not used to much attention coming from the girls' he added, laughing.
"I don't know, Hiccup" Astrid said, without laughing. "Maybe is that, but I think there is something wrong. It is something he is not willing to tell us and what is bothering him."
"Nonsense," said Hiccup. "He's just shy. Wait until he captures a dragon, as everything will change."
"I hope you're right." Replied the girl.
What the two didn't know was that far, in the forest, a shadow was watching them.
