Chapter 2 - Not knowing when to stop

ASTRID POV

After Hiccup left I turned to Fishlegs and ask him " Do you really think that was Hiccup? He seemed different"

" You mean colder. But yeah it was him, I guess we just went to far" the way he was moving made me think he was carrying a truck full of guilt

I know I never punched Hiccup or insulted him, but I never did anything to stop Snotlout or the twins either so maybe I was also responsible for his torment.

Fishlegs was also at fault, because even he was at some point his friend he trade him for us, and I think that must have hurt Hiccup badly.

But see him now after more than a year, I couldn't help but noticing how different he looked. He was still thin but now his shoulders were more rigid and his arms show that he wasn't just all bone and skin. Living all my life surrounded by buff guys with more than enough muscles made me more aware of these kind of things. And even though he wasn't Hercules, Hiccup had something going on with him.

He was tall there was no doubt about that, he had at least a head on Snotlout, and while I wasn't small myself he was still taller than me by at least a hand.

Another different thing about him was that now he actually answer the taunts that Snotlout thrown at him. And see him looking down at Snot just made him more taller and well... Hot

" Hey Astrid are you there?" The voice of Fishlegs made me snap out of my funk

" What ... Yeah I am"

" Good now lets go, you and me need to go to the gym, our sports scholarship won't pay for themselves"

" You are right... Lets go then" you are probably thinking how did Fishlegs got a sports scholarship? Well he lose the fat and got muscle, he was still big but now it had a purpose football. Of course he was still a nerd. God knows if it weren't for him, the twins and Snotlout would never passed high school. I was also smart but not so much as to feel the need to study every chance I got.

Hiccup was also smart, in fact he was the smartest of our grade in high school. Now I wasn't sure but he couldn't have lost all of that intelligence.

What was he taking ? Why was I so worried about that all of a sudden? What is wrong with me !

HICCUP POV

After helping Frank I decided to sit on the back of the class. I didn't like crowds and I guess I never will. So instead of joining Frank and co and I prefer to be alone on my corner.

After ten minutes waiting the teacher came in. He was old not gramps old but older than the average teacher. He had white hair and his mustache was a mix between gray and white. He had a couple of books on his hands and what appear to be a computer case on his shoulder.

" Welcome to advanced mathematics, my name is John Edwards but you may call me mister Edwards. I will be your teacher for this year, I hope we succeed to fully understand the problems that we may find on our way. Now any question" as predicted no one raise his or hers hand " No? Well then lets us begin"

With that he started to introduce us to the marvels of math. I wasn't really paying attention mostly because thanks to having almost no social life I had learn this during the break.

When the class was over, I grab my stuff and start walking to the library. We had a twenty minutes break so I plenty of time to go there and still be on time for my next class which was physics.

Passing the hallways I let my thoughts run to what happen before math... I still could not believe that I had answer Snotlout like that and not died in the process. I guess I had to thank Astrid for that...

It was truly strange that even though it has been many years since we last had a normal talk, I think we were still children, my heart could stop beating a little faster everytime she came across my sight.

I think its an hopeless crush that just refuses to go away... And the fact that she is beautiful doesn't help my case.

All those years of playing track sure helped making her more beautiful, she did got a sports scholarship because of that, so that proved that she was good at what she did.

All of the gang was ... Snotlout was a quarterback, Tuffnut was amazing when it came to baseball, Ruffnut was unstoppable when it came to lacrosse and Fishlegs was surprising good at being a defense in football. And Astrid was not just a star at track but also at lacrosse teaming up with Ruffnut and becoming a force to respect.

They had all gained scholarships because of sports , so it was normal that they all lived in the same dorm.

I for example entered college with an all paid scholarship not because of sports but because of my smarts. It wasn't something that I like to brag about mostly on the fact that my own gather seemed to look down on that. I guess he would prefer if I was dumber but more fit to sports.

'Well not like I care anymore' I thought

Just then I collide with someone and we both end up on the ground picking my stuff from the ground I started to talk " Sorry it was probably my fault" when I look up to meet the eyes of the other person I came across the most beautiful blue eyes I had ever seen, and I knew instantly who it they belong to.

NORMAL POV

" Oh it's you Astrid ..." Hiccup said with a slightly sigh

Astrid just got up and said " Yeah it's me and don't worry it was also my fault"

Hiccup looked confused for a second but then with a shake of his head followed Astrid on getting of the floor " Yeah whatever just don't send the dogs to get me"

" What do you mean?" Asked Astrid while furrowing her eyebrows

Taking a deep breath Hiccup answered " I mean now that we established that this was not my fault entirely, I'm asking you not to call Snotlout to beat me up"

"Why would I do that ?"

" Why not, it wouldn't be the first time..."

Now Astrid was becoming mad " What are you talking about, I never asked someone to beat you! I could have done that my self"

" Uau that was such a nice comeback" sarcastically said Hiccup

" Oh shut up! The point is that I never did it"

" Sorry to bust your bubble but yes you did"

" Prove it" Astrid was confident that Hiccup wouldn't be able to do that because she know she had never ask Snotlout or anybody to beat him up.

Hiccup took a moment to look at her in astonishment, then he said " Well for starters when we were on the eighth grade, I wrote you a letter for Valentine's, well I didn't sign it but later in the afternoon Snotlout came to me and gave a good beating up, when I asked why he said and I quote 'stop embarrassing Astrid she doesn't like you' so you see that's your prove"

Now it was Astrid turn to look astonished " What ? I didn't do that, I never received a valentine letter just chocolates and flowers"

" Okay ... Well even if you are telling the truth, how do you explain the fact that I got beaten up?"

" Well you could be lying..."

" Yeah cause admitting you once had wrote a love letter is something I would lie about"

" Right... Then I dunno what happened." Astrid was really getting frustrated with this all situation, did Hiccup really thought she was capable of doing that? Was she just another mean girl to him?

Sensing her distraught, Hiccup gave sigh before saying " Don't worry Astrid it was along time ago, it doesn't matter anymore. I just say it to prove a point nothing more"

"But it's still strange, don't you think ? I never receive it, and yet Snotlout knew about it"

" Well maybe I switched the lockers and put the letter in Snotlout's I think he had the one next to yours"

That made Astrid smile a little " So my secret admirer didn't even know the number of my locker, shame on you"

Smirking Hiccup said " Yeah well was to occupied by a girl that was walking the hallway"

Faking sadness Astrid whispered " What you were looking at other girls ... How could you"

Playing along Hiccup also whispered" Well a guy has to keep his options open"

Just then Astrid punched him on the shoulder

" Hey ! Why did you do that" asked Hiccup while rubbing his shoulder

" That was for being a bad admirer"

" What it was years ago, you cannot punish me now"

" I sure can! Now apologize"

" For what?"

"For being a lousy stalker!"

"What so now I'm a stalker ?"

" Oh shut up! Shut apologize"

" Okay, okay ... I'm sorry for not dedicating my whole life as a teen to admire you beauty from a far. Is that good ?"

" It could be better now take me for coffee and I will accept it"

Smiling smugly Hiccup asked " How says I want your acceptance? I could just walk away..."

Punching him again Astrid said " You were saying ..."

"Does 16:00 works for you?" Whimpered Hiccup

Smirking Astrid answered " Yeah it does come by the sports dorm to pick me up"

" As you wish my lady" sarcastically bowing down, Hiccup said

" And please the sarcasm, its unnerving"

" I'm afraid I can't do that ..." Just then the bell ringed meaning it was time to go to classes " well I have to go now... Bye Astrid"

" Same here, Bye Hiccup"

" The nickname will never disappear will it" asked hiccup while walking away

" Not a chance!" Yelled Astrid while running on the opposite direction

' Damn I realm need to learn when to stop talking' was the thought of the two teens as they walked away

And that's a wrap ! Tell me what you think of it...
