Sorry I've been so MIA lately, guys. I started school, and I'm taking 4 AP classes. Spare time isn't something I really have anymore. That being said, I don't know exactly when new updates will come until I get used to my schedule.
This update is a lot shorter than usual (like a hella lot shorter), but I didn't want to make you wait any longer. Hope you enjoy the little filler.
Anna's POV
I snort at what Kristoff has just told me, almost making me shot my strawberry milkshake out of my nose. "He chased you all the way across campus?" I ask between giggles.
"Well I lost him somewhere on the south side." We had met for an incredibly late lunch/early dinner, and Kristoff was telling me his adventures in vandalizing Mr. DeMartino's classroom. "But he only saw me leaving the classroom. He probably has no idea what I did to his white board."
"What about the smell?"
"The smell?"
"Yeah, you know how wet paint smells like wet paint before it dries? Doesn't Rain-X have a wet, uh, Rain-X smell?"
Kristoff's eyes widen a little at this. "I didn't even think of that."
Way to go, Anna. I try to make him feel better. "But, hey, what do I know? I could be wrong."
He shrugs. "Even if you were right, he didn't get a good look at my face, and I'm not a student there anyway. He'll never find me."
"One thing's for sure, it's going to be one hell of a period for Peter."
Kristoff laughs at this. "Damn right. So how'd things go with Astrid and Wendy?"
"Well," I say. "Compared to that it was boring and normal."
"That's all I get? No, no, no. I told you the story of sneaking in and out of a teacher's classroom at a school I don't even go to and then getting chased around the campus by said teacher, and all I get is normal?"
I laugh. "Ok, fine, but let the record show that I warned you of its ordinariness."
Flashback...
"You were right, Hiccup. There she is."
"Where?!" Hiccup, who is standing next to me, turns as fast as humanly possible to look where I am pointing. I laugh when he finally catches a glimpse of the blonde and completely gapes at her.
"Stop staring," I say, pulling him closer to the Wesleton football field.
"Wait," he protests. "I can't go over there! We're not students here!"
"So? As we speak Kristoff is at Walney High vandalizing a teacher's classroom. If he's doing that, what's the worst that could happen by us watching football practice while we wait to talk to Astrid?"
"She could see me!"
"Come on, Hiccup. Let's go." I manage to drag the scrawny teen all the way to the bleachers where we sit and watch the Reindeer practice.
Hiccup sighs dreamily and rests his head on his fist. "Just look at her; she's beautiful."
I roll my eyes, but look down at her anyway. Sure, she's pretty, but it's football practice, so she's all sweaty. Hey, who am I to judge? "Yeah, Hiccup. She's breathtaking."
He looks at me than back at the field. His finger points across the field at a shorter, buff player. "That's Fishlegs. Probably the strongest defense that the Reindeer have. But he's not like the other players. He's smart."
He points at another player, a taller, less buff one. "That's Snotlout. He has a huge crush on Astrid, like huge. He's not the brightest, but he's very determined."
"Some competition?"
"Pfft, as if. She wants nothing to do with him."
"The one over there," he gestures to a thinner player headbutting another with his helmet. "The one on the right is Ruffnut, the only other girl on the team. The one she's headbutting is her twin brother, Tuffnut."
"Wait, Fishlegs, Snotlout, Ruffnut, and Tuffnut? What type of names are those? And how do you know all this?"
"1) In your words, I stalk Astrid and 2) We grew up in the same village. Terrible names are probably the only thing Berk is known for. Fishlegs is the only one I still talk to. But I could still give you some intense word vomit about this football team, so just stop me if you get bored."
I laugh, but wave my hand. "No, I don't mind. Word vomit away."
"Alright, but you've been warned." He looks down at the field and points to the sidelines. "The little old man is Mr. Wesleton, the principle of the school. The one next to him is the football coach. Both are completely set o destroying our football team, and this competition has gone on since the schools were opened."
That's how we spent the rest of their practice, watching the team run back and forth. Hiccup rambled off random facts about the team, and when he ran out of those he talked about Astrid. The practice was now ending, so Hiccup and I started moving down the bleachers toward Astrid. She is surrounded by the four people Hiccup described and when they see Hiccup walking towards them, all of them snickered, except for Astrid and that one guy. What's his name? Fishlegs? Yup that sounds right. He shyly waves at Hiccup.
"Well, well, well," the short one, Snotlout, says, "If it isn't out little, Hiccup."
Tuffnut laughs. "How's Walney?"
"Oh you know, great with it's-" Hiccup begins to answer.
"And who's this?" Snotlout asks, shifting his attention to me.
"This is Anna," Hiccup managed to get out.
"You're girlfriend?" Ruffnut snickers.
"As if he could ever get a girl." Tuffnut argues.
His twin sister rolls her eyes. "You're just jealous that he can, and you can't."
He steps closer to her. "Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!" With each taunt, they grow closer until their foreheads are pressed against each other in an intense "glare-off." It's just a sibling thing.
"Am not!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
Ruffnut laughs. "I knew it!"
"As much fun as it is to watch you guys fight," the twins glance at him. "I didn't come here for this. I came to talk to Astrid."
"Of course you did," Fishlegs mutters. I have to choke back a laugh. Hiccup glares at him, but I'm pretty sure we were the only two that heard him.
Snotlout pushed himself to the be standing in front of my poor, scrawny friend. "What are you planning on talking to my girlfriend?" He demands.
Astrid glares at him and says, "Excuse me?" extremely threateningly. Hiccup snorts at that. She shifts her glare towards him. "I am no one's girlfriend. Especially yours. Now go shower or something while I talk to the rat."
"We're actually the mice," I say, quietly.
Tuffnut looks me over. "What was that rat?"
"I said we're the mice." Hiccup elbows me in the arm. "What? I'm not going to let him insult our mascot. That's like me calling them the weasels."
"What did she just call us?" Ruffnut demands from Hiccup.
Fishlegs rolls his eyes. "The amount of intelligence on this field is frightening."
They all ignore him and glare at me. I give them a hard look back.
"Seriously," Astrid says. "I'll handle them."
Snotlout stares at me a little longer but then looks at Astrid and tells her that they'd catch up with her at Quigley's" She nods and the other players begin walking off of the field.
"So, what do you want Hiccup?"
"Well to you too, Astrid."
"Seriously, what do you want?" She's so mean to him. Why does he like her so much?
"Well, technically, it's Anna that wants something."
She turns to me, expectantly. "Oh, right. Hi Astrid, Hiccup has told me so much about you. Not that he's like a stalker or anything it's just that he's always talking about you. Wait what? I mean that he just told us about you since he knows so much." I see Hiccup making a cut-it-out-you-idiot-motion with his hand in front of his neck and a panicked expression on his face. "Never mind. Hi, I'm Anna, and I'm here on a sort of important mission."
Astrid looks confused, and you know a little creeped out (Apparently, I have that effect on people) but manages to ask, "A mission?"
"Yeah, I lost this bet yesterday, and now I have to do a whole bunch of things for this evil red-head. And he has an interest in you."
"An interest in me?"
"Well, not exactly you. Your roommate, Wendy."
"What does he want with Wendy?" She demands. They're probably close.
I explain how Peter, dressed as Link met Wendy, dressed as Navi, and how he's been trying to find her again. You know, become friends or something like that. Astrid starts laughing. Did I say something funny? I look at Hiccup for some help, but he's just as confused as I am.
When Astrid finally calms down she pulls out her phone and dials a number. "Wendy, hey, it's Astrid. Listen, I have some good news. I found him." There is a loud reaction on the other end. Wendy seems really happy about this. "Yes, yes. I have two of his friends with me now. How fast can you get to Connie's? Ok, sounds like a plan. See you there." She pauses. "No I will not help you pick out an outfit. Ok bye." She looks back at us. "Wendy would not stop talking about that guy, Peter, all night. I barely got any sleep because of her. But finding him would make me roommate of the year."
"Didn't you have plans with the team?" Hiccup asks.
"That can wait," she says, seriously. "Wendy, I think she really likes your friend. And that's a little more important than the team. So how fast ca your redhead friend get to Connie's."
"Peter? I'd say pretty freaking fast if you don't mind him dragging along his slave for the day."
"Wait. What?" Astrid and Hiccup say at the same time with matching confused looks.
"He lost a bet," their looks become more confusing. "Same red-head... Forget it. Point is that he'll be there, just not alone."
"Suuure," Astrid tells me, snapping out of her confused trance.
"Alright, let's get these two together!" I cheer excitedly and stick my hand up for a high-five. Astrid rolls her eyes and walks past me.
"I assume you two walked here," she looks at Hiccup when she says this. Whoa, is there emotion in those eyes. What could driving and Hiccup have possibly lead to that look? "So I'll give you a ride." Without another word she begins walking away.
I look over at Hiccup. "Is she always so... intense?" I whisper.
"Yeah," Hiccup says, watching her start walking away.
Astrid looks at us over her shoulder. "Are you guys coming or not?"
Hiccup jogs to catch up to her, and I follow behind. When we finally get to the car, I let Hiccup take shotgun to ride closer to the girl of his dreams. Astrid and I climb into the car, but Hiccup hesitates. I mean, he hasn't even opened the door yet. What gives?
Our driver lowers the window on the passenger side and looks at him seriously. "Hiccup, it's going to be fine. It's only a two-minute drive."
He takes a deep breath and nods. Shakily, he opens the door, slides in, closes the door, and puts his seat built on. "Just drive before I change my mind."
Astrid giggles (I didn't think that was possible until now) and pulls away from the parking lot. He gives her a serious look. "I could still get out."
Her expression hardens, but there is still a slight teasing expression behind. Like so slight you'd need a microscope to see it. "Shut up, rat."
Present Time...
"We dropped in to make sure Wendy and Peter really did meet, which they did. Then, Astrid dropped me off here and Hiccup back at the dorm, I think. The weirdest part is Jack wasn't with Peter when he showed up to meet Wendy."
"Really?"
"Yeah, Peter mentioned something about him having to run and then he chuckled evilly, and that was about it."
Kristoff starts laughing. "What's so funny?" I ask.
"I just can't decide which is funnier: that they thought you were Hiccup's girlfriend or that called you guys rats to your face."
"What do you mean to my face?"
He scratches the back of his neck, uncomfortably. "It's just that, you know, that huge rivalry between our schools creates a lot of jokes on campus. One of those is calling you guys rats."
I gasp. "How rude."
"It's just a joke, Anna," he defends.
"Oh, yeah? Well how about I start calling you," I look around the restaurant for inspiration. "Oh, I don't know a-" Hey, is that Jack? Why is he running? He ducks into the entrance of the restaurant we're in and runs into the boy's bathroom in the back.
"A what?" Kristoff asks.
"Huh?" I reply, not moving my eyes from the front window. Maybe I can see what he was running from.
"What are you looking at?" I ignore him.
Because, there, coming from the same direction that Jack did, is my sister, Elsa, running faster than I've ever seen. She keeps running past the restaurant, thinking that that's what he did. My eyes widen, then narrow. What did he do?
Kristoff looks at me, then out the window, then back at me. "Are you okay?"
I look up into his eyes. They're so full of concern. "Me? Yeah. But Jack might not be when I'm done with him."
"Jack? What are you talking about?"
I smile at him. "Don't worry, moose. I'll be right back."
He smiles back. "I'll try not to, rat. But if some of your fries are missing when you get back, it wasn't this reindeer's fault."
That gets a laugh out of me as I walk away from the table. That Jack has a lot of explaining to do.
