Chapter 1: Worried
Astrid's PoV
" Honey get up, you have school in an hour and a half." Ingrid, Astrid's mum called.
Errrrrr as I open my eyes the light instantly floods my sight and my brain starts screaming, telling me to close my eyes to get rid of the sudden pain. I begging to rub my face with the palm of my hand and I slowly start to squint against the light trying to get my surroundings into focus, and then I see her, my mother leaning against the doorframe with a smug smirk on her face. My Gods she annoys me, why does she alway have to get me up so early every morning? Actually what is the time? Oh shit it's 6:45, fuck I need to get showered and dressed ready for school in less than an hour. I better get up but i'll just have five more minuets, my bed is so warm and cozy I'll just snuggle into my quilt for a little longer… wait is my mum still there? I crack one of my eyes open to see my mum sniggering and looking even smugger if thats possible.
"Go awayyyyyyy." wow I sound moanny.
"What, I haven't said a word."
"No but your face says it all" I reach over and grab the cushion next to me and chucked it, I'm not to sure if it hit her I had my eyes shut the whole time. But I bet I hit her my aim is amazing.
"OY! Excuse me miss I do recall still being your mother, now get showed breakfast is in 20 minuets." Ingrid grabbed the cushion of the floor and aimed it for her daughter's face.
"Ouch MUM, can you get out of my room… Like now please."
"Okay I'm gone, breakfast in 20 mins."
Mum slowly shuts the door and I finally shrink back into my quilt and relax, this is short lived as I realise I have to get showered. I slowly crawl off my single bed and waddle into my on suit bathroom. I start to run the shower and then start undressing, I lift of the crop top I sleep in and throw it to the floor, then I slide down my pyjama bottoms and kick them off and towards where my top lays. I'll pick them up later when I can be bothered but for now I need to get in the shower and wash my hair.
I check the temperature of the water and step into the shower, the nice warm water running down my back warming me up nicely. After standing there for awhile soaking up the warmth I start to wash my hair, after all I still have to get to school on time.
Out the shower I begging to dry my hair, it took me about 10 minuets and then I tied my hair back into my signature braid and went to my walk in wardrobe to pick out my outfit for today. It was the first day of the new school term today, the last year of High School then off to College. Since it's the first day back after summer break I think I'm going to wear my dark blue high waisted jeans and my sky blue button up blouse, I matched my outfit with a pair of light brown heeled boots to finish my look. After a once over in the mirror I decide my outfit looks presentable and I walk over to my dressing table and began putting on my minimal makeup, some tinted moisturise, blush, mascara and a pink lipstick and I'm ready to go.
oOo
I walk down stairs to see my dad sat at the kitchen table drinking his coffee and reading the newspaper, I lean over and kiss him sweetly on the head.
"Good morning Daddy."
"Morning sweetheart, ready for the new school term?"
"Couldn't be more ready, I can't wait to see my friends and see who are in my classes."
"Good, remember, work hard keep your grades up and you'll get into a smashing college."
I role my eyes at my dads little speech the one I get every day I swear.
"Yes daddy, I know."
"Good, now get some breakfast down you, and get off to school."
"Okay dad."
I walk over to the breakfast bar and grab an apple, a slice of buttered toast and a mug of coffee and go to sit at the table next to my dad. I quickly eat my toast and apple and sit relaxed drinking my mug of coffee when the doorbell rings.
"I'll get it" I shout as I get up from the table and walk to the door, I grab my keys of the side table and unlock the door to find Hiccup standing there.
"Hiccup? What are you doing here?"
"Oh good morning Hiccup how are you? Why I'm great Astrid thank you for asking, how are you? I'm good too thanks do you want to come in for a coffee?" Hiccup said in his usual sarcastic tone.
" Hiccup, do you by any chance want to come in for a coffee?"
"No I wouldn't dream off it now."
"Hiccup come in before I punch you." Hiccup looked like he slightly flinched, it most have been a trick of the light or the lack of caffeine. I stepped to the side to let the tall lanky boy with messy auburn hair in.
"Er thank you, sorry for intruding I just wanted to know if you wanted a lift to school?"
"Don't worry you're fine, come in and thanks for offering a ride, I didn't fancy catching the bus."
"You could run to school, keep that slim figure of yours" dad shouted from the other room.
"ERR DAD! I AM NOT RUNNING TO SCHOOL!" I shouted back at him in an irritated tone.
I could see Hiccup was looking a little rigid and pale, I wonder if he is sick? I gently rest a hand on his forehead and he jumped like I had poked him with a hot poker.
"Hiccup are you okay, you seem a bit… uptight?" Hiccups slowly started to relax and flush a cute pink colour, wait did I just say Hiccup was cute? Gods now it was my turn to blush.
"Erm, y-yh I'm f-fine… just e-er tired." he tried to put on a convincing face but I can see through him like a sheet off glass.
"No! Out with it Smith" I stared him down with a stern glare and he seemed to grow tense again.
"Honestly Astrid, I-I'm fine." I didn't buy it so I just intensified my glare, as he tried to make a break for the kitchen.
"Henry Smith, tell me what is wrong." Gods I sounded like my mum. "I'm worried about you, you seem off, are you sick?" again I went to reach for his forehead but he ducked under my arm.
"Seriously Ast, I'm just tired I stayed up late finishing off my art project, I want it to be perfect." I didn't whole heartedly believe it but this was Hiccup stubborn as always. I rolled my eyes and decided I would let it drop, if he wants to tell me he will.
"Okay, coffee?" I asked sweetly because he still seemed off.
"Yes, please I need some caffeine!" He said almost relived, and we headed into the kitchen where my dad was still sat reading the paper.
"Hello Mr Hofferson" Hiccup said in a polite manner.
"Morning Hiccup" dad responded half heartedly, too busy concentrating on the news in the paper. I role my eyes, typical dad always up to date with the news of Berk.
"Hiccup what are you doing?" from the corner of my eye I could see Hiccup skirting the kitchen towards the coffee pot, why didn't he just walk through the kitchen like a normal person?
"Err w-what m-me, I'm n-not doing anything, w-what a-are you d-doing." he started to fidget and would hold my gaze.
"Im not doing anything, you are the one edging round the kitchen!" he flushed that beautiful pink again and rubbed the back off his neck like he normal did when he was embarrassed.
"Oh, I er didn't realise I was, sorry." It was hard to tell what he was saying because he was mumbling, though he did make way towards the coffee pot through the centre of the kitchen like a normal person. He seemed to keep his distance from where dad was sitting… nah I must be imagining it.
"Okay…" Hiccup gave me a sweet look asking if he could pour himself some coffee, he looked like an overgrown toddler, so I gave him a small smile and he poured himself some.
Hiccup leaned against the counter drinking his coffee with a expressionless face, staring into space. He really was distracted today, but then again Hiccup is ALWAYS distracted, probably think up a new invention or what he is going to draw next. It'll be nothing but for some reason I still have a funny feeling. Hiccup most have noticed because he stepped forwards and before I know it he is waving his hand in front off my face.
"Midgard to Astrid, you in there?" I snapped out off my little trance and feel the warmth serge to my cheeks, I quickly look down.
"Oh, er, yh I'm here just thinking." I replied honestly, his brow creased and he stepped a little closer, I could see the concern in his eyes.
"A-are you sure?" he seemed generally concerned, he was sweet like that, unlike Snotlout who would have just made a stupid remark like "admit it you where thinking about me". Like I would ever go for Snotlout, ewww I inwardly cringe, Gods no.
"Yes Hiccup I'm fine, promise" I gently put my hand on his right shoulder and he tenses for a second then relaxes and gives me a warn lobe sided smile and he rests his left hand on top of my hand.
"Shouldn't you two be getting off to school, don't want to be late." Me and Hiccup jump apart as we heard my mothers voice, she was standing in the arch way connecting the living room and the kitchen, with a raised eyebrow and a smug look, just like the way my dad was looking at us. I blushed a bright crimson just like Hiccup who was fidgeting on the spot.
"Err yh A-Ast we n-need to be g-going now c-come on." Hiccup said in an embarrassed stutter, I loved it when he stuttered its so sweet. He quickly grabbed my hand and drag me past my parents and too the front door.
"Wait one sec." I ran back into the kitchen and gave my mum and dad a quick kiss before running through the door quickly followed by Hiccup.
oOo
It wasn't long before we got to school, Berk High. It was an amazing school, clean, big, great ratings, it was just perfect. I loved school, I'm cheer captain, class president and not blowing my own trumpet but one of the most popular girls in school if not the most popular.
"You ready?" Hiccup's voice broke my thoughts and I gave him a small smile and left the car.
We walked into school and Hiccup seemed a bit nervous, he kept tugging at the sleeves of his long sleeved dark Red top, what was wrong with him, he's rarely like this and why is he wearing a long sleeved top in this heat, it had to be mid twenties. Oh well this was Hiccup he was probably sick and didn't want to tell me, it would explain the top and the tenseness, that most be it.
"HEYYYYYY!" a loud voice broke the silence and it was no other than my bestie Ruffnut, her name isn't actually Ruffnut, its Robbin Thorston. She also has a twin, Tuffnut or Taylor Thorston, but they prefer their nicknames.
"Hey Ruff, and Tuff"
"Hey H" Tuff and Ruff said in cynic which was kinda scary, Hiccup most have thought so too, he looked equally as creeped.
"H-Hey guys, bit creepy." Hiccup said whilst rubbing the back of his neck.
"Oh, yh sorry it's a twin thing." Tuff chirped up happily.
Me and Hiccup shared a looking and both stated laughing at the confused Ruff and Tuff. It didn't last long, the rest of the gang came.
"Hey"
"Sup"
"Hiya"
Fishlegs, Snotlout and Heather said as they walked to their lockers, where ours where too. All are lockers where on the same row just slightly spread out, apart from mine and Hiccups which where next to each other.
There was a muffled noise of 'hey's' in reply and we all began to walk to homeroom.
