Chapter 1 Alone
My name is Hadrian "Hiccup" Haddock, most commonly just Hiccup or Worthless to my classmates. Wonderful name, I know. I earned those names because once, I had the hiccups for 4 days straight. That second one is mainly because I can't do anything right. I'm scrawny, weak, and an incurable smartass, earning me more than my fair share of swirlies and wedgies.
I live in the tiny town of Berk, Michigan. It's twelve days North of hopeless, and a few degrees South of freezing to death. It's located solidly next to the Great Lake of misery. Most of the buildings are pretty new, only because it's pathetic population has doubled in the last five years. I go to Berk High, home of the Vikings. I'm definitely the main target of the Cool kids. There is Shawn Jorgenson the Football Quarterback, Fishlegs who is captain of the Wrestling team, the twins Regan and Trevor Thorston who are the top track runners, and Astrid Hofferson who is captain of the Volleyball team. Astrid tends to leave me alone, and Fishlegs is my best friend, well behind closed doors anyway, because hanging out with me I guess is social suicide. The others torment me almost every time they see me, but I've gotten used to it by now.
My father, Stoic Haddock is the principal of Berk High. Yeah, great for me, right? Wrong. Most conversations with him are very one-sided, and he tends to think when I get teased or beat up, it my fault for being so…me. In Berk, Everyone knows each other since our town is so small. So when someone new comes along, it's a big deal, and all the groups at school swarm the student, Thor have mercy on his soul. So when I walked started walking to school the next morning, and I noticed a moving van parked in front of the house next to me. I stopped, interested as to who in their right minds would move here of all places. I shrugged and began walking again when I suddenly heard a deep voice call out "Bye Mom."
A door opened, and then slammed shut. Pretending like I had no idea this kid was behind me, I kept walking. I heard the footsteps speed up suddenly, and the kid grabbed my shoulder. I turned, and he asked me, "Hey, You go to Berk High?"
I replied. "Yeah, why?"
"Can you show me how to get there?" He asked.
I nodded, and fell into step next to him, when I realized I didn't know his name yet. I turned my head to him and said, "By the way, my name is Hadrian Haddock. But you can call me Hiccup, only adults use my real name."
He nodded and spoke in his husky voice, "My name is Talos Miyako. But you can call me Toothless."
Seeing the strange look I gave him, he chuckled and said "It's a weird nickname that kinda stuck. That's what my family and friends call me anyway. Hmph, like you don't have a weird nickname."
I smiled and replied "Touché."
As we walked, I sneakily observed him. He had shaggy shoulder length black hair and acidic green eyes. He wasn't super pale, and he dressed in dark colors, except for his red converse. He had two silver rings in his left ear, one in his right ear, and there was a silver cross around his neck. He was only a little taller than me, and almost as skinny, but I could tell it was muscle, not…skin and bone like me. He started to turn, and I quickly looked away, fighting the…blush?...that threatened to bloom out on my cheeks.
What the heck? Why on earth was I blushing? Embarrassment? Yeah, that had to be it; I was embarrassed that he almost caught me staring at him.
"So," He began. "What's Berk High like?"
I sighed. "You want the truth, or the version the teachers tell the parents?"
He winced. "That sounds pretty bad...uh, the truth?"
"Well, the different groups in the school swarm the new kids unless they have already found someone else, if you are not 'perfect' in their eyes; you are constantly targeted as prey, bullying material, etc. I myself am in a group by myself, and am pretty much the school's main target. Oh, and you're not considered cool unless you are in a sport of some kind. Some of the teachers are pretty cool, but there are few you gotta watch out for. Oh and…the principal is my dad…"
Now, I have told people that before and they become my 'friend' just cause they think that if they were to get in trouble I could get them out of it. But not Tal- er Toothless.
"Seriously? That must suck… If one of my parents were principal of the school I went to, I would throw myself off the roof!" He responded.
We finally reached the school gates.
"You know, I think I'm just gonna hang with you in your group…" he told me after seeing the groups all loitering around the school gates. I gaped at him.
"But! That's like, social suicide man!" I exclaimed.
He shrugged. "Whatever, I think you pretty cool. And I'm not into sports, all of those girls over there look like no fun…"
I looked at him curiously. "No fun? You mean like… to date?"
He snorted. "No I don't like girls…and none of these guys are my type anyway…"
I froze. He…was…gay? I shook it off, and mentally slapped myself. 'NO! Toothless wouldn't look at me in that way…right?' I snuck a look at him and noticed him looking me over. I thought I heard him mutter "He'll do…" but I'm sure I was hearing things.
"So Toothless, ready to be attacked by swarms of desperate students?"
He gulped. "N-no…"
We walked through the gates, and almost instantly everyone went silent. Two seconds passed, and then all hell broke loose. I stood off to the side watching amused as he fought is way out of the crowd. He came and stood next to me, earning confused, horrified, and disappointed looks.
Toothless grabbed my arm. "I…am hangin with Hiccup, so back off morons!"
He then dragged me in some random direction, until we ended up by the football field.
Toothless burst out laughing. "HAHA! DID YOU SEE THE LOOKS ON THEIR FACES!"
I started laughing as well, when we heard the bell ring.
'Hey lemme see your schedule!" I commanded.
He nodded, and handed it over.
"Oh sweet! We have every class together except 6th. I have Art and you have Theater!"
Toothless grinned. Hearing the warning bell ring, I pulled him up to his feet.
"Come on, we're gonna be late!" I yelled as I dragged him by the hand towards the classroom. He laughed, and squeezed my hand. At the time, I thought nothing of it…
Please R&R! BTW, can someone helps me with writing a kiss scene for later?
