"That fish is mine, Hiccup!"
"Get your own fish at the river; this fish belong to me!"
"I didn't see your name on it!"
"I didn't see your name on it too!"
"It's closer to me so obviously it belongs to me!"
"What kind of nonsense is that!?" Gerard sighed and shook his head while Val only chuckled as the brothers ran around the dining table, sending plates on the floor.
"Brotherhood bickering," she commented.
Chapter 3
Hiccup was not good at keeping secret but the only secret he had been kept all these years was his project on Stingray. Not even anyone in school knew about it.
He was famous in his school, for being dubbed the Useless. He got pushed around as he passed by every time. He was the punching bag for every bully in the school and the main target too. He never fought back and always walked away, only to receive more bruises. That was why he always got bullied.
Despite being a disaster attractor, he was very smart. He was among the smartest students in the Berk High School. He outmatched everyone in the school and not a single person had ever beaten him, other than physically. Teachers had to give him much more advance subjects than they suppose to be.
He excelled in Mathematics and Engineering, not surprising when he was currently modifying a 1969 Chevrolet Stingray at the abandoned garage.
Currently he sat at the far corner of the room all by himself, drawing his Stingray in action right next to Toothless' Skyline. His first class of the day was Norse Mythology. He heard the door to the class swung opened. When Hiccup looked up he fought back a groan. The person just entered the class was none other than a bunch of group that made fun of him.
The first person was the strongest and tallest: Scotty 'Snotlout' Jorgensen, the school number one bully and owned a Dodge Viper GTS R 2000 which is why lots of girls practically at his feet. It was very surprising that the bulky Scotty was Hiccup's cousin. He always bragged at how fast he can drive his Viper and how Hiccup still hadn't got any car. Truth to be told Scotty was actually the new leader of the racing devils, the 'Monstrous Nightmares'.
The next two persons were the twins: Rose and Timothy Thorsten. Also known as Ruffnut and Tuffnut, the two brick-headed – literally – constantly fought over each other over just a simple thing like the color of their underpants. The only thing that the two never fought over and always shared together was their Jeep, shockingly.
After the two, came the big boy: Fred 'Fishlegs' Ingerman. He was a nerd but he was literally huge and unbelievably much wider than Snotlout but not taller. He wasn't muscular as his body filled with fat but he could easily take out anyone smaller than him except for Snotlout. He learnt that lesson. The reason that he was very close to the group was unknown. They only thing they all knew was that he suddenly showed up when Ruffnut dragged him by the ear. He was the only one of the group who doesn't have any car.
Last but definitely not the least was what made Hiccup always stared. Astrid Hofferson was a student in the Berk High School and she was one of the top athletics in the school. She wanted to be the best of the school. Her physical skill was already on the top but her grades were quite below average, to her frustration. She was dating with Scotty and she owned a blue Nissan 370Z fully exterior modified. She was the newest member of the racing group the 'Deadly Nadders', a racing team full of girls.
Toothless always teased Hiccup about his crush on Astrid and it never stop since the first time he saw her, that was years ago. It broke his heart when he found out that she was dating with Scotty.
Hiccup quickly looked away and continued his drawing so he won't receive any scowls from the group. But he didn't see the person who entered the room after Astrid.
"Hey, Hiccy," Hiccup hit his head on the table and gave out a loud groan. While Scotty was the eye catching for lots of the girls, Hiccup actually very handsome for being skinny. Except the person who took interest in him was someone he doesn't really want.
"What do you want, Heather?" Heather Johnson was the type of girls who loved to expose 90% of her body. Always with short skirts and exposed belly, she doesn't have any dignity. If Astrid wasn't around, all eyes would be on Heather. She too a member of the 'Deadly Nadders' and owned a glittering green Lotus Eclipse that matched her eyes.
"Oh, nothing, just want to say that you're hot and all," for the pass months she tried seduced Hiccup every time she saw him, whether it be at school or not.
"Get out of here, Heather. You already know that I will never take the offer"
"But-"
"Leave Henry alone, Heather Johnson," said with a stern voice by the person who leaned against the door which made Hiccup relieved.
RJ Ralph, Hiccup's Norse Mythology teacher was his school bodyguard – some of the time – and a good friend. He was one of the teachers that cared for him. Although being a close friend to Hiccup and also Toothless, RJ doesn't know about their project and their obsession in street racing.
It wasn't long when the class was filled and started. The class was all about the Vikings that once sailed to Berk, fighting dragons and all. How a scrawny little boy stopped the war between Vikings and dragons. How the boy became a man and defeated the ruthless king of all dragons to bring peace on Earth.
The teacher also added that the history of the hero wasn't complete as the third book was still on the search, according to the scientists.
The whole day was casual to Hiccup: pushed around, stepped over, and shoved into the locker, insulted and all. Yep, pretty casual. He was waiting at the front of the school for his brother to pick him up to continue the project on the Stingray. He heard a familiar engine roared but he groaned.
"Hey, Useless," Scotty came up in his Viper with a logo of flaming red dragon head on the hood, playing with the throttle in front of Hiccup. "I bet you're really jealous, huh? I got the car, I got the babes," he then laughed as the tires screeched and drove off. It didn't get onto his nerves but Scotty was just stupid and arrogant. Wait until the Stingray finished.
A Blue 370Z passed by Hiccup but unlike Scotty, the car passed safely. Astrid looked at him but the scowl was there on her face when she passed him. Hiccup just sighed, knowing that trying to get close to her was suicidal.
Finally his brother arrived and Hiccup got onto the car. But instead of heading to their abandoned garage, Toothless drove somewhere else, to Hiccup's confusion.
"Where are we going?"
"Training"
"You're teaching is horrible"
"That's why I'm bringing you to my teacher," Hiccup's eyes widened in shock.
"Y-your teacher?"
"Yeah, why?"
"I thought he's already dead"
"I didn't say to you that he's dead"
"But you said that he taught you to drive when you were seventeen. That's twelve years ago!"
"But he isn't dead," the came to a place where a little but further away from civilization.
"I've been meaning to ask you about this"
"What?"
"How did you meet him, your teacher?"
"He once caught me driving around the school parking lot. At first I thought I was about to bring to jail but he brought me here: his training ground and his home. For two years, amazingly, I was a pro and he stopped teaching me. His final quote to me was, 'Always believe in yourself; do this and no matter where you are, you will have nothing to fear'," Toothless explained.
"That quote really touched you, huh?"
"Yeah, turns out that someone quoted those to him and he was touched. So he passed the quote to me," they arrived at a small house, enough for a guy with a cat to live. Next to the small house was a garage that locked with heavy duty locks. "The place is barely change"
"Your teacher lived in this kind of place? Surrounded by forest where people barely know? The house looks nothing on what I've imagined"
"Similar to how the first time everyone saw the White Charger," Toothless stated which made Hiccup's mouth closed shut.
He still remembered that very day where White Charger showed up in his white 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona. He laughed along with everyone as he thought that he might be left behind when racing against the champs and ex-champs. Oh, how dumbfounded and shocked he was when White Charger crossed the finishing line an hour before the others arrived.
Lesson of the day: Don't judge the book by its cover.
Toothless knocked on the door and a meow was heard. Seconds later, footsteps were heard and the door swung opened revealing a man with a cat on his shoulder.
Well, Hiccup and his big mouth.
"Well, it runs in the family…"
Though, the man seemed familiar…
"RJ!?"
Guess what reference I just used
