Chapter 2:

Astrid

As I walked into the school I turned to Heather. So, naturally, everyone else in my group stopped.

"Heather, does that man remind you of anyone?" I asked.

"I think I would remember anyone who looked like that!" said Heather. "I mean, did you see him? Mamma Mia!"

Ruffnut gave a slow whistle of appreciation and agreement. "Hey Tuff, Loki day is coming up, how about we 'accidentally' pants him?" Tuffnut looked horrified. Heather gave me a nudge. "Don't worry about it. Though I did see your face when you first saw him. Is Astrid getting a little crush?" She wiggled her eyebrows suggestively.

I flushed. "Shut up."

When the bell for homeroom went, there was a rush to get to class on time. As soon as everyone was seated, our teacher, Mr Mulch, came in.

"Good morning girls!" He said excitedly.

"Good morning Mr Mulch," we droned back.

"Now, we have a new student with us today. Jay Haddock!"

I sighed with relief. So, it wasn't Hiccup. What was I thinking? Scrawny little Hiccup couldn't change into that tall, muscular… I shook my head violently, extracting the thoughts from my head. Suddenly, from the back corner of the room, the guy from the motorcycle stood up, and everyone did a double-take. No one knew he was there. Mr Mulch was the first to recover.

"Mr Haddock, would you like to tell everyone a bit about yourself?"

Jay smirked. "Well, I'd rather not. You see, most people here have met me, they just don't know it." Jay winked at a bunch of girls, setting them off squealing, then sat down. Mr Mulch blinked in surprise.

"Anyway, let's take the roll call, shall we?"

By first period, everyone knew about Jay Haddock. The class was disrupted by girls giggling and guys grumbling.

By second period, Eret was no longer voted the 'guy I'd want to sleep with the most' on BerkBanter, almost all of the girls changing their vote to Jay. All around me, phones were buzzing with new notifications and updates. Ruffnut held the lead in the comments, with 200 likes and agreements to her 'He's so dark and mysterious, it's so sexy! And I have decided that leather pants are my new best friend' comment.

By recess, Jay was nowhere to be found.

By fourth period, a fight had broken out, and two girls came to class with scratches down their arms, makeup smudged. By asking around, I found out that one of them had sent a note to Jay, and the other got jealous.

By lunch, I was ready for the day to end. I had barely concentrated all through the day, forest green eyes burned into the back of my eyelids. He had sat quietly in the shadows, a smirk on his face. When asked a question, he had answered it with an easy nonchalance, the infuriating smirk still in place. As I walked into the cafeteria, Heather met me as I collected my tray.

"Hey girl, you look beat." I smiled tiredly at her, as the rest of our group joined us. Once we had all collected our food, we turned around, and the entire cafeteria went silent. There, sitting at the centre table always reserved for our group, was Jay Haddock. Everyone knew that particular table was ours, not to go near it. Everyone watched with bated breath as Eret went up to Jay and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Get off our table, you little bitch!"

Jay arched an eyebrow, and said lazily, "I don't see your name written on it, Eret."

There was a collective intake of breath, as we made our way to join Eret. I towered of him, my anger a wave about to crash. All day, he had been distracting me, and now here he was, eyebrow still raised, smirking up at me with his muscular arms crossed, his gorgeous green eyes staring unblinkingly into mine, and I faltered. Astrid. Hofferson. Faltered. Then his lips twisted up into a knowing smirk, and he turned around, propping his legs up on a nearby chair, commenting lightly, "So how've you been Astrid?"

That's when I saw Snotlout's fist tighten, and he yelled, "Don't talk to my girl!"

And he threw his fist forward with all his might, right towards Jay Haddocks face.
