STRANDED

List of main characters: Hiccup Haddock, Astrid Hofferson , Scott (snotlout) Jourgenson, Ruffnut and Tuffnut Thorston, Frank (fish legs) Ingerman,

At Berk High, Friday, 8:15 am, 30 minutes before school starts (Astrid's POV)

"Oh! We're here early", I realized.

"Anybody wants to get a drink from Starbucks?" I asked. "I can pay as I've got a $20 Starbucks gift card."

"I want a caramel macciato", Ruffnut and Tuffnut Thorston said in sync.

"I want it!" Tuffnut shouted.

"Well, I want it more!" Ruffnut retorted.

"Stop acting like 5 year olds. You can have one each guys." I sighed.

"One Java chip for me please Astrid." Frank, nicknamed "Fishlegs" said politely.

"One mocha Frappuccino for me babe", said Scott, nicknamed Snotlout.

Scott had nicknamed Frank "Fishlegs" due to his limbs vaguely resembling fishes, and Frank retaliated with "Snotlout" as a nickname for Scott.

"Don't call me babe... unless you would want a most unfortunate accident to happen to you", I falsely sweet voice.

"Ye-yes ma'am", squeaked Scott.

I sigh before placing our order.

I miss Hiccup.

6 hours later...

"I can't believe it! We actually passed!" Ruffnut and Tuffnut exclaim.

"With an average of what?" Fishlegs asked carefully.

"With not just an average of a D...", Ruff started excitedly.

"...But an average of a D+!" Tuff finished proudly.

After a short stunned silence, everyone sighed and facepalmed.

"Well, bye guys, I've got to go pack for the boat trip to the Indonesia archipelago tomorrow. Remember to pack properly this time okay guys?" I said sternly.

"Why does she look at us when she says that?" Tuffnut asked.

"Yeah, I know right? It's so weird." Ruffnut agreed.

"Erm, maybe it's because you only brought your stuffed teddy bears the last time." pointed out Fishlegs.

"Hey! She told us to bring only the important things, and our teddy bears are the most important things!" the twins argued.

"I'll send you two a list of things to pack later." I sighed.

8:10 a.m. Friday. The Haddocks' home. (Hiccup's POV)

I woke up to the sound of my alarm ringing. Ugh. School again. At least it's the last day before the holidays and I can go on the trip with Gobber.

It might be hard work sometimes but it would still be nice to explore, go around the Indonesian archipelago.

I hope that the people he would be ferrying around are nice.

I slowly stretched before opening my eyes. I saw the time.

IT WAS ALREADY 8:15!

It would take me thirty-five minutes to reach school.

My eyes became round plates. "Dad's gonna kill me!" I whispered.

Oh yeah, my dad is the school's vice principal. He also hardly talks to me, and when he does, it's usually because I messed something up and always with a scowl on his face.

We don't exactly have the best relationship after my mom died in a car accident. We moved away from Berk after that. I guess he could not take being reminded of my mom every second. He also cut off all contact with our old friends, so I also lost contact with my best friend, Astrid.

I miss her. I thought.
