Leaning over to Hiccup in math class, Ruffnut whispered to the boy,

"So, it seemed like you knew Astrid Hofferson." Hiccup, not really paying attention to Ruffnut, replied,

"Uh, not really. She was just showing me around."

"Well, Astrid doesn't normally interact with new students." Ruffnut said, laughing.

"Why not?" He asked still not paying the least bit of attention.

"It's pretty much basketball 24/7 with her." She rolled her eyes. "Believe me, I've tried to get to know her." Hiccup, now, was focused on the work in front of him. To himself he mumbled,

"That should be 16 over pi..." Unfortunately for him, the teacher heard him.

"Yes, Mr. Haddock?" She asked. He grew extremely shy.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I, uh, I just...Um..." Seeing that everyone was staring at him he gathered up his confidence, "Shouldn't the second equation read 16 over pi?" Ruffnut just rolled her eyes at him, but their teacher had a different response.

"16 over pi? That's quite impossible." Checking her calculator, she gives Hiccup an impressed look. "I stand corrected." She started writing the correct equation on the chalkboard she said, "And welcome aboard Hiccup.

Later Ruffnut's brother, Tuffnut sees Astrid looking at the musical sign-up sheet. She looks at it for a few seconds then looks away then back again. Astrid then leaves. As Ruffnut passes, Tuffnut grabs her arm.

"Astrid Hofferson was looking at our audition list." Ruffnut looked surprised

"Again? You know, she was hanging around with that new guy and they were both looking at the list. There's something freaky, irresistible, but freaky about him. Where'd he say he was from?" Seeing her brother wasn't paying attention, she scoffed and struts off toward the computer lab, with Tuff following close behind.

In the computer lab, Ruffnut does a search for Hiccup, finding he's smarter(and quite possibly cuter) than she initially thought.

'' Why do you think he's interested in our musical?" Tuff asks.

"I'm not sure he is. And we needn't concern ourselves with amateurs. But... there is no harm in making certain that Hiccup's welcome to school activities that are...appropriate for him. After all... he loves pi." Ruffnut prints out the article on Hiccup and takes it.

Detention.

Gothi style.

"Gold! More gold!" Ms. Gothi yells, "Paint, paint! Let's go!" after Gothi passes Fishlegs Ingerman walks over to Hiccup holding the article about him.

"The answer is yes!" Hiccup, having no idea what he was talking about, replied,

"Huh?"

"Our scholastic decathlon team has it's first competition next week, and there is certainly a spot for you." Hiccup still looks extremely confused, so Ruffnut desides to step in.

"Well, what a perfect way to get caught up. Meeting with the smartest kids in school. What a generous offer, Fishlegs." Gothi notices and says,

"So many new faces in detention today. I hope you don't make a habit of it, but the drama club could always use an extra hand. And while we are working, let us probe the mounting evils of cell phones."

Sorry for such a long wait! I have been so busy lately I just haven't had the time to do this. Next chapter should be up soon and it will be longer! Thanks for the continued support guys, it means a lot.
