"Don't be nervous Hiccup, its just school." I said to myself while pacing in my room.
I just don't know why I'm so nervous. It's just the first impressions that I was afraid of messing up on.
Yes I am afraid of first days, like when I was in Berk my first day of school I ended up being locked in my own locker, very traumatizing. That happened when I was in 7 grade but I looked like a 6 year old kid because of my small frame, so bullies of course targeted me, but I got my revenge when they were all suspended after that incident.
Also, my most embarrassing memory happened on the first day of swimming class, the coach was strict so he shouted at me to jump in the pool and I did when I got out of the pool I noticed all the students were laughing at me, even the coach. I looked around and saw my trunk was floating in the water behind me. That was the most embarrassing moment in my life.
My most horrific memory was my first day of rugby practice. Last year my 'great' Dad thought that it would be great if I could play some sports. So I signed up for rugby. During the first day of practice I broke both my legs and I had to spend 3 months on bed-rest.
I hate first days and I can't even imagine what will happen this year.
"Hiccup it's time to go!" My dad shouted from downstairs.
I sighed "I can do this." I said to myself and grabbed my bag then ran to the front door.
There was silence in car. My dad said nothing and because of fear I was also not willing to say anything. I know he's still upset because of my previous rudeness.
He drops me off in front of the school gate,
"Thanks." I mumbled and stepped out from the car.
I entered the school, I came early so there was not too many students in the school hallway. I went to the office, submitted the needed documents, and collected the time table and locker key.
I went to my locker and opened it, then I choose my class textbooks and closed the locker.
"Oh my god!" someone suddenly said loudly.
Next to me there was a girl and she was looking at something that made her jaw drop.
'She definitely will catch some flies like that.' I thought.
I followed her gaze and I saw a boy who was walking with attitude down the school hall. He wore a dark blue hoodie and brown jeans, but the weird thing was that his hair was white like snow, but it suits him. He also has the most beautiful blue eyes. I have to admit the boy has some good looks.
I looked around, the scene was like a movie, the girls were falling on each other and some girls were shouting 'I love you!' to him, giving him flying kisses and staring at him like a piece of meat. But it seems like he doesn't care at all and he kept walking straight and ignoring them.
Suddenly the bell rang. All the fans groaned sadly and then started moving towards their respective classes.
After few minutes of searching I found my classroom.
With anxiety in one hand and fear in the other, I reached for door knob opening it slowly. Everyone's eyes were on me as I entered the room.
Without paying attention to them I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the right class.
With a soft voice she answered, "Yes." Her voice comforted me a little. "Take your seat, please."
I nodded and started looking for empty seats. The seats were already taken except one which was next to a brown haired boy. I went to that seat, the boy was looking out of the window.
"Excuse me." I said to grab his attention, as he heard he looked at me and I saw his face. I was shocked that this boy's face was so similar to the white haired boy except his hair was brown and his eyes were brown too.
"Yes?" he asked.
"Uh, Uh, Can I sit here?" I stammered nervously.
"Sure." he said with a smile.
I sat down, "My name is Hiccup Haddock." I introduced myself awkwardly.
"Jackson Overland Frost." he replied and stuck his hand out to shake.
I took it shyly.
"Nice to meet you Jackson." I said while shaking his hand.
"Nice to meet you too Hiccup." He replied.
"Okay class, open your chemistry book page number 112." The teacher stated loudly.
The class began and the teacher started teaching us about organic chemistry. She asked some questions, which I easily managed to answer mostly because chemistry is my strong subject. During the class I don't know why but my eyes wouldn't stop looking at the beautiful person who was sitting next to me. His big brown eyes, his lips, his cute nose.
'Hiccup stop, just stop. If you can't stop looking at him then he will know that you are gay, don't forget what happened last time you were kicked out of the closet.' I thought to myself reprovingly.
In my old school, I didn't hide my sexuality. I had thought people would accept me but I was wrong. When they knew that I was gay the whole school started keeping their distance from me like I was some sort of dangerous disease. My friends stopped talking to me and the bullies became more inventive and bold. Only Astrid and Toothless stayed as my friends. They accepted me for who I am.
I still miss them, it was so painful for me when I moved to Burgess and left them behind.
I was in such deep thought that I didn't hear the bell ring and then someone shook my shoulder.
"Whu?"
It was Jackson, he smiled at me and said, "The bell already rang, you might have to hurry if you don't want to be late for next class." He then grabbed his bag started walking to the door.
I sighed and stood up, picked up my bag and followed him.
