Chapter 2: Oh Hi Astrid.
Turning around, jack and hiccup could see the familiar face of Astrid Hofferson. A short but very fierce and dangerous female that has no problem defending herself and her friends. She had long blonde hair and a rather athletic build, making her a rather beautiful girl that made her a bit of a target for the more persistent boys.
She walked up to the boys with a sway of the hips and a look of confidence under her gaze, hiccup smiled as she stopped dead on her toes in front of the boys.
"oh hi Astrid!" Hiccup said waving at her with a friendly smile.
"hey. Astrid.." jack said with his enthusiasm now walking away from him now that he knew hiccups attention was now divided between them.
"so guys, i'm having a party at mine tonight.. you coming?"
"Astrid that sound-"
"-oh yea about that Astrid, me and hiccup are spending the night round hic's and having a sleep over so yea.. no.. we can't", jack had formed a sly smirk on his face at Astrid who at this point had fired back a frown before changing to a smug look and turning back to hiccup.
"well, I'm sure hiccup wouldn't mind you guys coming for a bit and then leaving to go back to hiccup's".
"hey that sounds a good idea" a delighted sounding hiccup replied. The bell rung for class and everyone started to move towards the main doors Astrid and hiccup moving with them.
Jack grabbed hiccup's hand and stopped him turning him on his heels. " whah-" hiccup began to blush again.
"hic are you sure you wanna go to this party? I mean you always told me you hate parties a-and there was that time when your dad had to come and get you because you panicked and wanted to go home"
"jack, ill be fine. It's astrids party so we're in good hands. Plus you're still staying over." Jack let go of hiccup's hand in defeat. " come on doofus, we're gunna be late for class." Hiccup said reassuring him. jack smiled and followed after.
Both boys took their seats at their desks pulling out books and opening them up,
"settle down now class, I know its the last day but I still expect your full effort for today, now it is my job to get your prepared for the future and help you with anything that you do not understand, now if you could all open your text books to page 394. we will begin."
Hiccup opened his text book and rested his head on his hand, today's lesson is going to be so boring. Hiccup's mind began to drift away from prof Dagur and into his own thoughts. Ugh, I cant believe I broke another foot, I need to take the broken one to gobber. I really need to be careful not to be so clumsy especially in front of jack.. oh god! Shit I just remembered he saw me halve naked this morning, Fuck this is soo embarrassing.
Jack's POV:
Jack sat writing down what was written on the white board when his mind too started to wonder from the classroom and all of his peers.
I can't believe Astrid has ruined my plans with hiccup.. I wanted it to be just me and hiccup. I so scared, I really like him but I'd hate to tell him and ruin our friendship together. Maybe I should talk to someone about it. Maybe punzi, I mean she already knows that I have the hots for him maybe she can help me. If I remember right she'll be at astrid's party tonight maybe I can talk to her then.
Hiccup's POV:
hiccup had mostly finished his text book work when his mind started racing again making it hard for him to concentrate, he couldn't stop thinking about this morning and tonights events. He just stood there looking at me with contagious smile and his beautiful blue eye's, I mean it wasn't like he was checking me out, was he? no.. don't be ridiculous hiccup. Although he does call me hic, thats a little strange, I mean I know Astrid calls me that too but that's Astrid, not jack. God I really do think I .. like him .. shit! Shit! But he's my best friend. Im not supposed to have a crush on my best friend that's just stupid! What am I going to d- . hiccup stopped his train of thought when he noticed jack looking at him.
