"TOOTHLESS!"
Returning to my room after just ten minutes of being downstairs, Toothless managed to topple over everything on my desk... Including a vase full of flowers.
"Great. Now I have to clean this up. I hope you feel proud of what you did and very accomplished."
Picking up the flowers I freeze. It's been ten minutes. Rushing towards my computer I open up Skype. He's already added me AND he's online. Okay I'll just quickly send him a message saying that my cat is being a prick and I need some time to- Never mind he's already calling. I guess he will have to admire my room while I pick up the mess.
Clicking the green button, I never really realized that I was still a mess myself with red puffy eyes and my potato stained clothes. Well shit.
The video came on and all I could do was stare at the image before me. A boy about my age was on the other side of the screen. The first thing I noticed was how white his hair was and how blue his eyes were.
"Um. H-Hi... Uh... Are you okay? I mean I'm saying this because you don't look good. NO I mean you don't look well. Are you sick? Ah shit what if you're not sick and I'm being a total jerk? I'M SO SORRY I-"
"Are you real?"
Shit I said that out loud.
"Uh... E-Excuse me?"
"I mean the hair. Is it a wig or is it dyed?"
"Oh... Well its neither. I was actually born with this hair."
"Then what about your eyes? Born with those too?"
"Wha- I mean yeah, but isn't blue a normal eye color?"
Unbelievable. Not only is he outrageously hot, but its all natural for him?
"Wow. I wish I was as beautiful as yo- I mean, I could never pull off white hair, but you look so exotic and unique... Its kinda hard to believe your human."
HICCUP DON'T SAY THESE THINGS OUT LOUD YOU IDIOT. Great now he's silent. Look at what you did Hiccup. Just fantastic. Lovely. Only I could pull of something as stupid as-
"You really think I look... Nice?"
I stop mentally bashing myself and I looked at the face before me.
"Well, yeah. Sorry if that makes you uncomfortable. I haven't been able to keep my mouth shut all day and-"
"No... Thank you so much. It means a lot to me. I never knew that I actually looked okay to someone."
What? Is he telling me that he didn't know he was beautiful? Okay time for a Haddock pep talk.
"Believe me when I say this, but when I saw you the first thing that popped into my head was how beautiful you looked. One of the things my counselor told me is that everyone is beautiful in their own way, and only YOU have the power to change the way you think about yourself and others. Try to not be so hard on yourself, and try to find the positives if you can."
The boy looked back at me with complete shock on his face. It looks like I got through to him.
"Oh and before we start a match, my cat toppled over a vase of flowers in my room and I have to clean it up. Is it okay if I call back in about five minutes or so when I finish cleaning up?
Seeing him nod, I wave and click off the call. Let's do this fast so I can clean myself up too.
I feel like I'm going to either cry or die. Not only is HorrendousHiccup a REALLY cute brunet with freckles, but he called me beautiful... Standing up I slowly creep towards the mirror. All this time I thought I looked dead and sickly... but was I in reality always beautiful? I hear HorrendousHiccup72 voice echo in my head.
Everyone is beautiful in their own way, and only YOU have the power to change the way you think about yourself and others.
No, I was always sick and deadly, at least to me. I just have to change my perspective a little. Smiling in the mirror once more, I decided to quickly call up Jamie on my phone, just in case HorrendousHiccup72 calls back.
"What is it now Jack?"
"I-I talked to HorrendousHiccup. We are going to start a match soon, but its official."
"Wait what's official?"
"I officially have a crush on HorrendousHiccup72."
"Already? So tell me what was he like?"
"Well, first he is such an adorable brunet with freckles. What really got me was the fact that he called me beautiful! Me!"
"Whoa whoa whoa. Off the bat he just decides to give out compliments? Isn't that red flag worthy to you?"
"Well no. If you heard how the conversation went you would understand. I know that he meant it. I could just see it in his beautiful green eyes..."
"Oh of course, how could I be so blind? You could just see right through him even if his image is full of pixels."
"Jamie! Can't you be happy for me? All I have to do is find out if he's a monkey. If not, then we could still be good friends!"
"What? Monkey?"
"You know, so we can see if he swings that way!"
With that I hear the line go dead. Second time today... Looks like I broke the record.
After I cleaned up everything including myself, I played a couple of rounds with FrostLord88. I got to learn that his name was Jack and when he learned my name he snorted.
"Hiccup? Where did that name come from?"
"I'm from a Viking origin, and I was named after a legend FYI."
"A legend? What did this legend do exactly?"
"Well, the legend states that Hiccup was the first Viking to ever train dragons."
"Dragons? Well that's cool! My name came from when my dad was working on a Jack in a Box when he was told I was on the way."
Let's just say I haven't laughed that much in forever. Eventually we had to say goodbye when my dad called me down for food. We exchanged phone numbers and we made sure to set up a time to play again.
When the call ended I picked up Toothless and twirled him around. I can't believe how amazing Jack is! Every time he smiles I can't help but to smile with him. Putting down Toothless he hides behind my nightstand and glares at me from afar.
"Sorry bud, but that was your punishment from earlier. Now come on down if you want your Fancy Feast."
Hearing the word Fancy Feast, he follows behind me as I head downstairs towards the dining room. It gets him every time. After serving Toothless his wet food, I sit down at my seat to find... Steak and potatoes. Great.
"So uh son, how was school today?"
Looking up at my father I smile.
"Just like every other school day, boring and repetitive."
"Oh but its the first day! Any new friends?"
Looking down at my plate of potatoes, I lower my voice a little.
"Well I don't have any friends at school. All of my friends are online and in a different country."
My father also looks down at his plate.
"Have you tried making friends at school? I don't think its healthy being online all the time. I think you need some human interaction."
I hold my breath, but I'm not going to lose my cool now.
"Well I have tried. No one really wants to be friends with someone like me. At least around here no one wants anything to do with me."
"Hiccup, are you being bullied at school?"
Welp looks like Toothless is out of the bag.
"Yeah, but I guess that's obvious huh?"
"How severe is it? Name calling? Physical bullying? I want to know because I want to start caring and do something for a change."
Oh no I can't breathe properly.
"W-Well today at lunch someone threw potatoes at me, and throughout the day I had potato pranks pulled on me everywhere I went. My new nickname is Potato Nose."
My father got up from the table and started to walk towards me. If we didn't just cleared the air earlier today, I would have thought he was gonna yell or hit me. Instead he held both of my arms and looked directly into my eyes.
"We will solve this problem together. I won't do anything you aren't comfortable with, but I do want this bullying to stop."
This day went from the worst day, to officially the best day.
Ok! I thought I should upload a chapter before my break ended, so here it is!
