HICCUP's P.O.V.
I logged in back in twitter, I wonder what made me logged out the first place,
My phone loads from logging in, right then, my phone started vibrating,.. notifications popped in.., still vibrating.. and vibrating
"Oh Now, I remember" i whispered
Then i noticed the number of followers, I'm Sure it was even in the hundreds when i last left it, But now i have like 5.8K followers, where did that even came from?
Then i read some tweets to me, and some got my attention
"I ship you with Astrid!"
"FOLLOW BACK PLEASE!"
and others more like..
"I SHIP "
"Welcome to FriendzonedVille my friend"
I didn't even get to scroll down through everything because there was just too many of them, i did follow back tons of them, and replied to some tweets, then right after i tweeted, more notifications started going in
"This is maddening" I said as the vibration from my phone has numbed my hand
ASTRID's P.O.V.
I got a text from John "Hey..Let's go out? I got it all planned"
it said. i looked at the time, and i wasn't really up to anything, "sure, where do we meet?" i texted back
i walked to the mirror and brushed my hair, and i took the heart shaped necklace from a small box where i kept it and put it around my neck, I decided to make a special place for it so i wont loose it like last time. and then i got a text back saying
"I'll be picking you up, be there in a few :)"
I ran up to the door and i saw Gobber on his way to my room,
"Where ya going there laddie?" He asked with the gigantic camera lens right at my face
"John asked me out,.. you wanna come?" i asked.
He then thought for a while, the camera made a soft blink blink sounds because it was on record.
"Is it a date?" he asked.
I flashed him a weird look, "Nope. not that i'm aware of.." I replied
"Hmm,.. well enjoy.. there's no way i'm going to be the third wheel," He responded
"It's not a date." i shot back in return
I made my way back down to tell Lisa i'll be going out with John, Gobber followed right behind me.
She sat at the living room watching some Kardashian show, "Lisa.. um,, John would pick me up in a few minutes.. he wants to take me out.." i said
"Oooh.. he is? huh?" She responded
"Umm.. yeah" i said back with no problem.
She was smiling at me weirdly.. WEIRDLY.
*Doorbells*
We all turned.
"I'll get it." i said. and rushed to the door.
When i opened the door, and there He stood, John Brodie Tristan.
His blonde hair was in a slick back. the kind one which is classy yet very punk ass cool to some people who does it, He was wearing a coat and boots,
"Hi" i said.
"Hey" He replied flashing me his smirk.
"Okay.. so We'll go now..Bye!" i announced and i took my coat at the stand and we left.
John walked with me and opened the car door for me and let me in first
"Thank You" I said.
I met John a couple of times before... Yep, He's still basically his self...
"So where are we going?" I asked once we got seated inside the car
My breath fogged up the window, it has gotten really really cold lately, "You'll find out" He said.
HICCUP's P.O.V.
I got bored in the house, so despite the snow, i went outside.. and through our backyard and the forest and i spent the time sitting on the tire swing.. maybe just contemplating..
not long after, i heard footsteps, I was thinking of doing a jumpscare or something then i turned and saw that it was Gobber. And i was glad i didnt do the jumpscare because i thought he was Astrid
"Hey"
"Hey"
...
"What brings you here?" I asked Gobber
"Nah.. just wanted to wander around.." He explained
I sat there quietly, i ran out of words
"Astrid went out wit John,.. Left me with nothing to do" He continued
My eyes widened.. "Oh.." that was all i could said.
"Was that supposed to be a date?" i asked.
"i don't know, Maybe" He said.
I felt my heart tighten
"You know Hiccup, One day,you're going to see her holding hands with someone who took your chance,..She wont even notice you because she's too buy laughing with the stupid jokes he makes. And it will burn your heart seeing that beautiful smile on her face and realizing that you're not the reason anymore. And then it will finally hit you, it's always her"
I looked at Gobber
"What are you even talking about? We're just bestfriends!" I said.
"C'mon dont deny! I dont have the camera with me... you like her. And a "Bestfriend" doesnt look at another like that" He insisted..
"I'm hopeless.. just leave me in the friendzone" looking down, my hands had turned really white of coldness,
ASTRID's P.O.V.
The car made a full stop in front of what looked like a fancy restaurant
"Le Cre'me" I read
"It's known for the best ice cream" John explained, "I go here once in a while as much as i can" He added
He opened the door and led me out his hands holding mine,.. I don't really think he should be acting all this to me.. I'm sure once people see him like this to me they'll assume that were dating and the next thing I'll see is me and him on news,
I got out and noticed right around the corner there were a few paparazzi on their way to us, I grabbed his hand and i kind of pulled him to walk a little faster where i tried to hide my face with my hair,
I finally got to breath properly once we were inside
"So,..what do you wanna have?" He asked me looking right at me
"Um.. honestly, It's my first time here, i dont really know what to get" I confessed and i felt my cheeks heat up immediately
He giggled.
"If you ask me, I think you should go taste their Vanilla caramelized pistachio" He replied
"Well, i'll go with that then" i answered. this is so awkward i thought
"Are you, allergic to nuts?" He asked with quite concern..
"Um, no,.I'm Not" i assured.
So we took our seats way far from the window. But despite that. There are pwople who are also inside the store that i've noticed who were sneakily taking some pictures. I wanted to act as if everything is normal and all.. Then after a few minutes our order came
I blankly stared at my ice cream for a while
"Looks inviting" i said.
John laughed. "I know right?! C'mon taste it!"
I did. And it was heaven.
"So,.how have you been?.. I heard your project got.. Delayed?" He asked.
I wiped a smear of cream on the side of my mouth. " Um.. Actually, it has been cancelled already" i replied
"Oh, so why havent you come back to LA?" He asked again before he took in a spoon from his icecream
"Well, for the first time i tried school.. And normal life" i said
"Really?! School!...what is it like?"
Like me, since John was young. He was honeschooled.
"It was kind of weird at first. People treated me differently." I explained.
"Is it hard?.. The whole thing?" His face getting all hyped with questions
"Test are hard. And i dont get why we need honework. Like 8 hours in school isnt still enough?..But anyway, i met a bunch of really cool friends my age, so its fun"
"Oh yeah! This reality show you have. I onced saw the one were you re on your way to school.. Who was it.. Was it..Buck?.. Wait, i know its starting with an H-"
"Hiccup?" I cut him off
"Yeah! Him.. Pretty weird name for a guy.. Is that really his name?"
I was like.. Um excuse me
"Um. Yea.."
"Anyway,.. You too seems like best of friends, am i right?"
He is asking too much questions now..
"Um,,.yea.. He lived right besides so,,he's the first i met." I told him.
There was silence,
"My turn,." I started. "What have you been upto lately?"
So me and John talked. i tried to ask some questions where i already know the answer but for the sake of keeping it going for not to look "awkward"
After that, We didn't go anywhere else. He brought me home and left. no biggie.
When i got back, Lisa took a nap in the living room couch so i decided to just go on my way upstairs. Gobber, is nowhere to be found. maybe he just left to walk around
HICCUP's P.O.V.
I woke up groggily and i walked still half asleep down the stairs. i know you shouldn't do that but anyway. I can hear Toothless' noise way from the kitchen barking around while Mom cooks breakfast.
Christmas break started but for Dad he still has to go to work. He sat at the table drinking coffee and reading the morning newspaper
From the kitchen. i can hear the T.V in the living room
"And now, a new scoop from the showbiz industry.. is this a new couple alert?! as actress Astrid Hofferson and John Brodie Tristan had been spotted-"
And with hearing that i suddenly woke up to my senses and went to the living room
"the unconfirmed couple-
"ugh. yeah as if" i mumbled under breath
"was spotted going in a Ice Cream parlor, how cute.. In a this picture were going to show you, It is seen that Astrid is leading the way in, holding John's hand and to what seems like she's covering her face from the camera. None of them has yet confirmed they're status. but the media had their eyes on these two"
I looked at the photo. "So that where they went"
"And now, the Twins known as Zack and Co-"
i turned off the TV since no one is watching. I went back in the kitchen and Breakfast is ready on the table. Toothless also finally got his food so the place was a little quieter right now.
"Hiccup, As early as now. I'm letting you know that this Christmas. the whole family will be coming for Christmas Eve," Mom started as she carried a pitcher of juice to the table.
"Okay" i replied, and i walked back to the kitchen ans sat with them at the table
suddenly i felt a little glum
i cant be jealous, i shouldn't.. i shouldn't be..
i cant believe this
