Hiccup was laying in his bed looking up at the ceiling. His school was starting in an hour and he was not looking forward to another year of people pushing him around for little to no reason. He looked at his alarm clock which read 7:30, He scowled. He had been awake since 4 in the morning just looking at his roof worrying about how school was going to be. Slowly he got out of his bed and was greeted by his black cat cuddling up to his leg "hey toothless, you slept well?" he asked. The cat meowed in a way which Hiccup took as a 'yes'. Hiccup sighed and jumped out of bed and slowly made his way downstairs.

"Good morning Hiccup," Hiccup's father said as his son approached the table. Hiccup sighed, he has had the nickname 'Hiccup' since he was in kindergarten when he suddenly had a bad case of the hiccups during recess. The name was at one point a way to tease him but now it was just a nickname. Heck, it was probably used more than his real name. "Morning dad," Henrey said to his giant of a father. Stoick Haddock was a huge man with big bulky arms and was 7 feet tall and weighs around 200 pounds and had a big booming voice that sounded like a jet engine. Stoick had red hair and green eyes. Hiccup, on the other hand, was a small scrawny boy who was 5 foot 4 but was smaller than most of his classmates. He has green eyes like his father but his hair is auburn instead of red like Stoick. Hiccup wore a green shirt with a leather jacket and some black baggy pants which he wears to hide his prosthetic leg which he got from the 'incident'.

"So are you looking forward to the new year?" Stoick asked to which Hiccup groan, Stoick laughed "don't worry boy I'm sure the kids have grown out of there little bullying stage and will even bring you into their group with open arms" Hiccup sighed, his father was way too optimistic. They couldn't change in a few months. He didn't for sure. Stoick looked at his watch "oh is that the time! Sorry Hiccup I've got to go" he was already at the door "good luck son" Stoick shouted before shutting the door behind him. Hiccup looked down and continued eating his toast. 5 minutes later he finished, took a shower got changed and feed toothless before walking out the house, locking up and walking towards the bus stop.

As he reached the stop he saw two people talking, the first he recognised as his neighbour Fredrick but everyone called him Fishlegs. He was about 5 inches taller than Hiccup, much bulkier but he was mainly introverted but would have a great conversation with just about anyone as long as they started up the conversation. Overall he was a pretty good guy except he nerded out far too much and his constant muttering would annoy even the most carefree people. Hiccup couldn't see the face of the person who Fishlegs was talking to but Hiccup could tell it was a girl, she was wearing a blue shirt with black pants and had her blond hair in a braid. Fishlegs looked over her shoulder and noticed Hiccup and started waving " Hey Hiccup" he shouted motioning Henrey over to him. The girl looked behind her and when Hiccup looked at her he stopped dead in his tracks.

She was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, she had the most incredible blue eyes he had ever seen and thought he could stare into them all day. Her face made his heart melt and the way she looked at him made him feel like the happiest guy in the world. Slowly Hiccup moved towards the two of them "hey Hiccup how was your holiday" Fishlegs asked him. Hiccup completely ignored him and was still looking at the girl with his mouth open a bit. Fishlegs noticed Hiccup and how he was looking and spoke up "Hiccup this is Astrid. She just moved to berk. Hiccup snapped back to reality "hey Astrid i...I'm H..Henry but my friends call m..me Hiccup" he stuttered. Hiccup thought to himself "damn I sound like an idiot why am I stuttering?". Astrid only giggled a little which made Hiccup's heart skip a beat, she had the cutest giggle he had ever heard and her smile was to die for. "It's nice to meet you Henry or can I call you Hiccup?" Astrid asked stretching out her hand. Hiccup looked at her hand for a few seconds before shaking it "yea y..you can call me Hiccup" her hand felt warm and soft.

They all talked (well Fishlegs and Astrid talked while Hiccup admired Astrid) until the bus arrived and they all hopped on. Hiccup was making his way to the back where he was suddenly tripped up. He heard the entire buss roar up laughing and someone shouting "nice fall peg leg!". That 'someone' was Scott AKA: Snotlout the schools main bully. He was a huge jerk and loved nothing more to get on peoples bad side, he was Hiccup's bully since kindergarten and was also the reason for the nickname Hiccup which he stopped calling him that after Hiccup started liking the nickname. Oh, and he was Hiccups cousin. The name 'peg leg' was made by snot's best friends Thomas and Rachael AKA" Ruffnut and Tuffnutt AKA the Thorston twins. They gave him that nickname after the 'incident' and when Hiccup finally came back to school they ridiculed him for being the only kid in school with a prosthetic.

Hiccup quickly got up and walked to the very back of the bus which was unoccupied. He sat down, red face and looked out the window to try and ignore the taunting from the other people on the bus. Fishlegs sat beside Hiccup and sighed "I'm sorry that this is happening. If anything I think your prosthetic looks pretty cool". Hiccup sighed, he knew Fishlegs was trying to help, even if it did turn out a bit awkward "Thanks fish".

"This was going to be a long year," Hiccup thought to himself before looking at Astrid boarding the bus "but it may be better than last year"

Astrid p.o.v

Astrid had just gotten a text from her father when they were all getting onto the bus. When she got on Hiccup and Fishlegs had already decided to sit at the back. Seeing as there was no room she decided to sit next to a black haired kid. He was very bulky and wore a black shirt with black pants "hey there" he said in a smooth voice. Well, Astrid thought it was meant to be a smooth voice. "The names Scott but you can all me Snotlout" Astrid looked at his face trying to tell if he was serious or not. Deciding that he was she replied "uh..thanks...Snotlout...im Astrid" she stuck her hand out and with no hesitation, he grabbed it and shook it quite fiercely. "Behind me are the twins Rachael and Thomas," he told Astrid pointing to the two seats behind him

The two people behind pocked their heads up. It took Astrid a few seconds to tell which was the boy and which was the girl "the names Rachael but you can call me Ruffnutt" the girl said "and I'm Thomas but you can call me Tuffnutt" the bot said. They both had long blond hair and were more identical than any twins Astrid had ever seen. "I'm Astrid it's very nice to meet you both," she said to the twins "so what brings you to the fine land of berk?" Snotlout asked looking very keen on an answer "well my parents moved here for a better job so I guess that why?" she answered knowing it wasn't at all a very clear answer. Neither Snotlout or the twins seemed bothered by the vague answer and continued asking Astrid about herself. As they were talking the bus finally stopped outside the school. As everyone was getting off Snotlout put his arm around Astrid, much to her dismay she grabbed his hand and twisted it until he yelled at her to stop. After that, he got up shook his hand a bit " playing hard to get aren't ya? Well, I do love a good challenge" Astrid sighed at the big flirt next to her.

This schools going to be a lot different than she thought.
