So, as always, I own nada, but I wish I owned Hiccup… that's one sexy piece of man…
Hiccup: *Wide eyed* I-I'm no-not se-sexy…
Me: Yes, yes you are…
Hiccup: *Blushes* I have a girlfriend
Me: I know… that doesn't mean I can't dream…
It turn out that his finger was sprained. And Astrid didn't feel that bad about it. Hiccup deserved it… kinda.
As Astrid and Hiccup walked out of the hospital, Hiccup kicked a wall.
"What's wrong?"
"My dad's going to kill me…"
"Because you're weak and a girl sprained your finger?"
Hiccup glared at her "I thought we were friends."
"We are, but I'll still make fun of you." Stated Astrid
"Who do you think you are? Running around leaving scars?" Hiccup yelled
Astrid crossed her arms, out of habit, to make extra sure her scars were hidden.
"That was supposed to be funny…" pointed out Hiccup
"Ha ha…" Astrid said, rolling her eyes
"I know, I'm so funny…" smiled Hiccup
Why did Astrid like his smile so much? He's just a jerk who is now her friend. Her only friend.
"You know," said Hiccup "I think you are my first female friend…"
"That's great Hiccup…"
Astrid was sitting with her boyfriend in the cafeteria the next day. Dreading the week to come. Astrid hated Mondays.
"Hey Astrid," said Sam "What's wrong? You're staring off into space."
Astrid snapped back into reality "Uh, oh nothing."
"And by the way, I called last night. Why didn't you pick up?"
Astrid stared at him "You called?"
Sam looked at his friends, a look that told them to scram. So they did.
"Astrid, we need to talk." Said Sam, grabbing her upper arm
Hiccup looked over and saw Astrid and Sam talking. Well, they weren't really talking, so much as Sam yelling at Astrid about being a slut or something, and Astrid standing her ground, taking it. He was confused, Astrid was the strongest person he had ever met.
Why is she taking that?
"… So I was thinking that if we could make a bomb…" said Fishlegs
"Wait? A bomb?" asked Hiccup
"Yeah,"
"Why?" He asked
"Because, not for like school or whatever. Were you even listening?"
"No,"
Fishlegs rolled his eyes "Stop staring at Astrid."
"I'm not staring, I'm, I'm just… wondering why her boyfriend is talking to her like that…"
Fishlegs rolled his eyes "Whatever, I could care less what Astrid does. She ditched us for a guy. Who does that?"
Hiccup looked down and nodded. He understood why his friend was mean to Astrid, but… that was three years ago.
Can't they get over it?
Astrid looked up and saw Ruffnut and Heather picking dresses for the homecoming dance. The two girls were laughing and having the time of their lives. While Astrid… Astrid was trapped.
Astrid fingered a pink beaded dress. She looked bad in pink. And Sam would give her a concussion if she picked a pink dress…
She moved on to a blue dress and thought it would be safe. She walked into the dressing room and tried on the dress
For once… she was pretty…
When Astrid took off the dress, she saw the price.
"Damn it…" she cursed
She looked around, then decided.
Astrid was going to steal the dress…
She quickly set her bag down and stuffed the dress in it. She walked out of the dressing room and straight for the door.
When Astrid walked through the door, alarms went off and workers walked to her.
"Miss, can I see your bag?" one asked
Astrid shook her head
"Why not?" another asked
Astrid punched one in the face and took off running. She heard people running after her, so she ran faster.
She finally got caught and was arrested for theft.
"Hoffermen, phone call time…" She heard
She was led out of the holding cell and dialed the already too familiar number…
Hiccup heard his phone ringing. At first he was confused, but picked it up anyway.
"Hello?" he asked, he looked over at his alarm clock and saw that it was 9:30 P.M. Who would call him this late?
Okay, it's not that late, but still…
"Hiccup, it's me…" Astrid's voice said "Astrid…"
"I know it's you, you goof. What's up?"
"I need you to bail me out of jail…"
Astrid and Hiccup walked out of the jail together, silence overwhelmed them.
"Thanks for bailing me out…"
"Astrid Hofferson saying thank you? Damn… prison changed you…"
Astrid rolled her eyes and laughed "Shut up."
Hiccup laughed "As long as I got you to laugh…"
Once again silence came over them as they walked to Hiccup's car.
"What did you do?" he asked
Astrid kicked at the sidewalk "I did something I wish I didn't…"
"Did you have public sex? Cause you can get arrest for that…" Laughed Hiccup "People are wicked strict about that shit…"
Astrid laughed "No, I didn't have public sex. I tried to steal a dress…"
"Whoa, rebel right here…"
Astrid smiled "You are something else Henry Haddock…"
"I know, that's why the ladies can't keep their hands off of me…"
Astrid laughed, for like the fifteenth time that hour and got into Hiccups' car.
"I'll see you at school tomorrow right?" asked Hiccup as he dropped off Astrid
"Yeah, uh…" said Astrid, then punched his arm
"Ow, Astrid!"
"That's for making me laugh," She pushed her bangs out of her face, then kissed his cheek "That's for bailing me out…" She got out of the car and ran to the front door
She quietly closed the door and started for her room, when the hallway light turned on
"Astrid Alva Hofferson, where the hell have you been?" asked her dad "And why did we get a message from the police saying that you were arrested for theft?"
Astrid looked down "Because I was…"
"Astrid! We raised you better than that! Hoffersons' don't get arrested!" yelled her dad "Why can't you be perfect like your…" Jack let out a sob
Astrid looked down and thought about her late big sister.
"Astrid! Hurry up! I can't be late for this sale!" Astrid's older sister, Ariana, said
Astrid walked down the stairs, her sister was a senior, whereas Astrid was an eighth grader.
"Why do I have to go with you?" Astrid asked
"Because I need a girls' opinion on clothes! And you love me!"
Astrid rolled her eyes and walked to her sisters' car.
When they were driving to the mall, Party in the USA came on. Ariana turned up the radio and started to sing
"So I put my hands up they're playing my song, the butterflies fly away…" Ariana was dancing in her seat as she sang
Astrid laughed at her sister. Without realizing it, Ariana ran a stop sign. Astrid looked over and saw a car speeding their way
"Ari look out!" she screamed, then they got hit and Astrid never saw her sister again…
"It's your fault Ari isn't here!" screamed Jack
"I know…" She whispered
"You're not perfect, I hope you know that…"
So her dad was drunk… that explains it…
"I do dad…"
"Go to your room…" So Astrid ran up to her room.
She picked up her razor, finally gotten it sharpened, and looked at the top of foot. She started one line, then added two short ones to make a P.
About five minutes later, she looked down and saw Perfect, blood soaked. She sighed and laid in her bed, letting her foot bleed more than it should…
Then everything went black…
Ha, okay, so I kinda based the theft off of the music video and the prison line off of Pitch Perfect, but it's something I could see Hiccup saying…
So, we find out a little more about Astrid's past, and Mr. Hofferson joins the verbal abuse! Only when he's drunk though… and it might be this once though. I don't know. I hope you liked it!
