Hey everybody! I'm sorry for the delay in the chapter update, but I had my finals (which went awesome :)... I think), douche bag teachers that wanted to still assign homework, and my cousins came from Arizona to stay with us for the week. But I am here now, procrastinating writing an AP essay to give you this wonderful update where we will finally see Hiccup and *drum roll please* a few other familiar faces :0
Who, you may ask? You'll see, silly fans. XD
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Shut up! Quiet! Trying to sleep you, butt-faces! Ah, sweet, sweet dreamland. Drifting further and further... And... there it is...
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Oh come on! I crack open my eyes just enough to see what is the source of the sound. But my delicate eyes are being ambushed by the blinding sunlight! Curses! I groan and roll over. I cover my head with my pillow.
"Wake up sunshine," Zel calls from somewhere in the darkness.
I slowly sit up and rub my eyes. A huge yawn slips past my lips as I scratch my head. Today will officially be the first day of my sophomore year at Walney High. Aka Monday. Glob how I loath Mondays. I climb out of bed and shuffle into the bathroom. After brushing my teeth, washing my face, and using the porcelain throne, I exit the bathroom and look at the clock on the dresser. There's still an hour before we have to be in first period.
Zel is sitting on her bed while tying up the lace of her dark purple high top Converse. Shes wearing a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and a dark purple scoop neck t-shirt. She is wearing a silver chain with a sliver flower at the end. Zel smiles up at me. "Get dressed. We're meeting Flynn and Elsa in cafeteria for breakfast."
"Mm breakfast," I say, dreamily.
Opening the drawer under my bed I pull out a pair of black skinny jeans and a change of underwear. I go back into the bathroom and run the water for a quick shower. I start stripping down to climb into the shower, but not before blasting some music from the small waterproof radio on the window still. I take a quick shower, dry myself and get dressed.
My outfit of the day includes my dark blue skinny jeans, a light green loose, sleeveless shirt with an owl on the front, and a pair of black strapped sandals. I quickly untangle my hair, apply a layer of mascara and eye liner, and emerge from the foggy bathroom.
Zel gives me an odd look. The kind you usually reserve for people that shock you so much you become disgusted. "What?" I ask, self conscious.
"What are you planning on doing with your hair?" The look is still there.
That look is annoying me, but I don't really know why. "A side braid or messy bun. I don't know something fast. Why the face?"
She ignores my question when she asks, "Can I do your hair?"
"What?" Is all I can say before Zel drags me into the bathroom and slams the door.
She works surprisingly quickly blow drying my hair. My cousin refuses to let me see what she is doing to my poor, unsuspecting hair.
When she is finished, she turns me around to face the vanity mirror. "Wow."
Zel smiles at her work. "I can't believe you were going to try to go to your first day of a new school with your hair in up!" She rants. "This is your first impression on the people we'll be with for the next few years! What if you saw a cute guy, huh!? What would you have done then?"
Zel continues as I stare at my reflection. My hair hasn't been down for a very long time. It's gotten a lot longer; it reaches just pass my armpits. My auburn hair has been flattened and is split in half so that half is on my left shoulder and half is on my right shoulder. My bangs move across my forehead. There is a white stripe going down my hair on the right side. "Rapunzel, this is... just... Wow."
She laughs. "Alright, quit being so vein and let's get some grub."
We make our way out of our room but not before grabbing our backpacks, schedules, wallet, phone, and keys. Zel's backpack is, ready for this, solid white with custom made paint patterns in different colors are all over it, shocker, right? Mine, in the other hand is light blue with a floral print. The halls are filled with students getting ready for their first day of class. When we finally get to the large cafeteria, it's crowded with people rushing about.
We scan the cafeteria for Flynn and Elsa. I look at Rapunzel. I'm about to tell her that our search is hopeless when we hear a familiar voice say, "Rapunzel, Anna, over here!"
I pivot on my foot and see Flynn, Elsa, and an unfamiliar redhead sitting at a table by the windows and to the left of us. Zel smiles at her boyfriend and starts happily walking towards the table. She kisses Flynn on the check as she sits down next to him. "Hey," she tells him.
"Hey, beautiful," he says smiling and taking a bite of his pancakes.
I steal the seat next to Elsa. "Elsa, Flynn," I acknowledge them. I look at the red head who is watching me. "Stranger," I say extending my hand. "I'm Anna."
He shakes my hand and smiles a really boyish smile. "Peter," he says. "I'm Flynn's roommate.
"Yeah, I hope you don't mind that I invited him to eat with us. His friends aren't getting here till tomorrow," Flynn mutters. "Plus, their freshman," Flynn adds with a smirk.
"Whatever," Peter defends. "Their awesome, and you'll love them" He sticks his tongue out at Flynn before he eats a spoonful of cereal. I smile at the scene. I've decided that I approve of Peter hanging out with us anytime. He's childish. I like it.
I feel Elsa staring at me. "It's not polite to stare, big sis," I tease.
"I just haven't seen your hair down in a while. It looks really nice." She compliments.
"Thanks," I say, smiling. "I'm going to get some food." I stand from my seat and push in the chair. "Coming, Zel?"
"Yeah," she says as she stands up, "Let's get some food."
Zel and I start looking around at our different options. There is an omelette bar, pancakes, bacon, eggs, a cereal bar, fruit salads, toast, oatmeal, and a whole bunch of other breakfast stuff. I smile and smell the air. Oh, glob! Thus my nostrils deceive me? "I smell chocolate." I let my nose carry me t the source of the smell. Chocolate chip pancakes. Jackpot.
I grab a plate and serve myself two pancakes. Zel follows me with her empty plate. "Let's go to the omelette bar. I want some eggs." Both of us go to the back of the line for the omelets. Zel waits patiently and gets herself some food.
After a little while of walking around and grabbing food, we sit back down at the table. I end up with two chocolate pancakes, bacon, a cup of orange juice, and a small bowl of Lucky Charms. Rapunzel has in front of her a custom made omelette, sausage, and a small mug of coffee. I begin devouring my food. Oh my lanta! If this what the cafeteria has to offer all the time, I a going to need to get a gym membership if ya know what I mean.
Elsa watches me with a disgusted look. "The food isn't going anywhere, Anna. You can slow down." Elsa occupies herself by daintily eating a bowl of oatmeal. I stick my tongue out at her.
I'm about to make a super witty comeback when there is a large crash behind us. I swiftly turn around to see a guy on the floor wearing half of his breakfast. A guy wearing all black is standing over him with a smug look on his face. "Watch where you're going, freak." He says to the guy on the floor. Some people around them laugh and it makes my blood boil. I stand from my seat. The guy in black steps over the one on the floor and starts to walk away.
I turn to face the scene. "Hey!" I call after him. He turns to look at me.
Elsa looks at me with her eyes wide and full of fear. "Anna," she warns. "Stop."
I ignore her and start walking towards the guy. I can feel most of my peers' eyes on us as we stare each other down. Once I reach the teen on the floor, I extend my hand to him and help him up. "It's not nice to trip people."
The guy in black sneers at me. "Oh yeah? And what is someone like you going to do about it?" He says as he steps closer to me. Most of the conversation in the lunchroom halts.
"Not sit back and let it happen," I retort. He continues to step closer. He's a lot taller then me, and I have to look up at him. But that doesn't stop me from giving him my best glare.
He chuckles. It's an ugly kind. The intimidating ones that send creepy shivers down your spine. "You must be new here. Do you know who I am?"
I laugh at him. Is this guy for real? "I think," I say as I circle him. He follows me with his eyes. "You're someone that feeds off the pain and fear of others to fuel their own pathetic life." I'm right back next to the guy that was on the floor. "And from what I can tell, I'd say I'm not wrong."
He looks at me. He has that smug look again, but in his eyes, there is a hint of pleasure? He chuckles and lowers his voice a little. "Finally," he says. "Someone who knows how to fight back." He steps forward, and I step back, tripping in the process and almost falling. Curse my clumsiness! He sneers. "But not very well." He turns on his heel and starts walking away again.
How dare he try to walk away without apologizing! I try to go after him, but I;m stopped by a hand on my shoulder. It belongs to the guy standing next to me. He shakes his head. I start walking back to my table and gesture for him to follow. He does.
When I get back there, Elsa stars yelling. "What the hell were you thinking?"
"Elsa please! My dear friend," I look at him waiting for a response.
"Olaf."
"Olaf, has just been through a very traumatic experience and is wearing most of his breakfast. Let's save this poor man's shirt before worrying about my stupidity." I say dramatically as I grab napkins and hand them to Olaf.
"Can I just say thank you so much for that?" Olaf says to me. "No one has ever stood up for me like that. Or stood up to Pitch."
I shrug. "He shouldn't treat you like that. It's no biggie."
Olaf smiles at everyone at the table. "Hi, I'm Olaf and you are?"
I slap my forehead. "Duh! Olaf, I'm Anna, that's my sister, Elsa, my cousin, Rapunzel, Flynn, her boyfriend, and Peter. Welcome to the family." I say.
"Mind if I sit?" He asks.
"Go ahead, bro," Flynn answers. "You deserve it."
Olaf sits in the empty chair next to me. He tries clean off his shirt. He is wearing a white t-shirt now stained with breakfast, blue jeans, black converse, and silver dog tags around his neck. He has black hair sticking up in different places and green eyes. He, from what I notice, is always smiling. His smile shows off slightly bucked teeth.
"Now," Elsa says to me. "What the hell was that?"
"Pure awesomeness!" Peter says. "Only one other person stands up to Pitch. You just shocked everyone in this room, Anna." He's practically bouncing with excitement.
"Seriously Anna," Zel says. "Trying to get into a fight already?" She is joking, of course.
Flynn chuckles. "I'm so proud of you!" He pretends to wipe a tear from the corner of his eye.
I roll my eyes at him. "You guys are weird," Olaf says. i give him a sort of hurt look. He rushes to continue. "But I like weird." He pauses And says bashfully, "Do you guys mind if I sit with you again tomorrow? I kind of don't have a lot of friends. Everyone here thinks I'm weird."
"Olaf," I begin to answer for the whole table, "you can sit with us whenever you'd like. Consider us your first real friends." Peter, Flynn, Zel, and Elsa nod their heads in approval.
Olaf smiles hugely at us all, showing off his bigger front teeth. "Wow," he places his hands over his heart. "This has never happened to me before. Pinch me! It has to be a dream!" He starts pinching himself.
Peter laughs. Even his laugh sounds sounds childish. "You're not dreaming buddy. You can hang with us anytime. Weirdos stick together." He extend his fist for Olaf to bump fists.
Olaf smiles really big. "This is awesome!"
Just then, a tallish thin and semi scrawny guys walks up to the table. He waves sheepishly at Elsa and awkwardly looks around the table at the rest of us.
Elsa's POV
"Hey Hiccup," I happily say. "Guys this is Hiccup, one of Merida's friends. Hiccup, this is my sister, Anna, my cousin, Rapunzel, her boyfriend, Flynn, his roommate, Peter, and Olaf."
"Hiccup? How'd you get a nickname like that?" Olaf asks him.
I chuckle. I can't help it! I asked something similar last night when I first met him. Hiccup gets a serious look on his face. "Well, my parents decided to play a cruel, cruel joke on me when I was born and name me Hiccup." I look at everyone's reactions. All the same: shocked. "That and where I come from really bad names bring really good luck, apparently."
Flynn smirks. "And how's that luck thing working out for you?"
Hiccup's expression looks bored. "Terrible."
Flynn laughs at his response, and Rapunzel slaps his arm and gives him a look. I roll my eyes at them and look back at Hiccup. "So what brings you to our table, Hiccup?"
"Merida told me you have history with Mr. Calvin first period." He points to his chest. "I also have this class, and since you're new here and everything, and I know this school pretty well, I thought I'd escort you to class." he makes a triangle with his left arm. The chivalry type thing where the girl puts her arm through the gap.
Anna looks at me with a knowing smirk and a raised eyebrow as I stand up from my seat, tray in hand. "Sure, Hiccup," I say grabbing my blue back pack in the other hand and swinging it over my shoulder. "Just let me toss out my tray, and we can go."
"That's cool," Anna says. Here it comes. "Just let your little sister get lost in this big freaking school."
"What class do you have again?" I ask.
She glances at her schedule. "Chemistry with Ms. Morgan."
"I have that too!" Olaf says smiling.
"Then it's settled. You can go with Olaf." I tell her as I link my free arm with Hiccup's. "I'll see you guys later." They say their goodbyes, and Hiccup and I walk away from the table.
We walk in mostly silence until Hiccup speaks up. He clears his throat and says, "Jack, Merida, and me are going to get some pizza at some place off campus. You should come along with."
I'm hesitant. I know he's trying to be friendly, but I also know that Merida told me that it'll be a little while before she opens up to a new roommate. Going for pizza with them might make her feel like I'm trying to replace the fourth member of their group of friends. I can't do that to her. "I don't know, Hiccup."
"Come on. It's a campus tradition to have pizza from this place during your first week of a new semester," noticing I'm not caving, he continues. "And you'll get to meet Jack for the first time."
I smirk. "Ah yes, the mysterious Jack Frost who happens to be busy every time I'm around. That'll definitely be a first." Hiccup laughs at this. "I just want to give Merida some time to get use to me. I know her and her roommate were pretty close."
"Mulan? Yeah. Merida and her were best friends before Mulan joined the army. Merida was pretty crushed about is, but you don't have to worry about her getting mad." We've stopped in front if a classroom. He walks through the doorway with me in toll.
"And why's that?"
"She was the one who told me to invite you."
"Really?" There is an image of a seating chart project in the front of the classroom. I start looking for my name and head towards the seat. All of the seats are in single file with 10 seats in each row. I see that Hiccup sits directly in front of me.
There some other students in the classroom, but Hiccup pays them no mind. He turns around to finish the conversation. "So what do you say?"
I pause and think about it. "Fine. You win."
Hiccup fist pumps. "Sweet! We're all going to meet in your room at 5:30."
I smile. "Can't wait." And I really do mean it.
