. . . bleh . . . I am really really reeeaaally sorry guys for not updating in a really long time. x(

Okat so I had a rough week after I had last updated and my personal life was a bit . . . disorganized . . . and so I couldn't write the next chapter. THEN after that week I suddenly had no idea how to get to the next point in the story. I mean I have the story laid out but I just had no idea how to get to this next part. Then, I became overrun with conflict on whether or not to post this chapter since it's so short but I finally decided to cut it short since the next chapter would flow better and stuff. I just hat it though because I hate it when other authors don't update for awhile and here I went and did it myself, even after I pledged not to do it. I see that it is a lot harder to update daily, especially with school and everything. So again, I'm reeeaaally sorry:( but here it is, I hope you guys like it.

timenspace - No sorry this is AU so Jack's just a normal human being who just so happens to be really really REALLY attractive:T

Silverwolf407 - Yes there are back stories for almost everything and everyone and they shall come in time


Chapter 5

Stepping out of the passenger side of the car Hiccup looked out at the school as several other students. Astrid followed soon after from the back seat, "Thanks for the ride Terrence, too bad you're still suspended." The said boy gave her a blank stare, and Hiccup rolled his eyes as she went on, "Yeah, now who's going to beat up and of those jerks when they pick on Hiccup because he's so weak." Hiccup narrowed his eyes at her, "You say that as if it's already going to happen."

She shrugged her shoulders, and opened her mouth to speak, "Well-". Just then a deep, mellow voice called out, "Hey Hiccup!" All three of them turned to the direction of the voice, and Terrence's face hardening into a cold glare.

Jack walked over with his normal wide grin plastered to his face, "Wonderful morning isn't it guys?" "Hey," waved Hiccup glancing over to the white-haired teen then back to his two friends. Astrid wasn't looking up and was actual casting her gaze down at the ground away from the smiling teen with . . . wait . . . a soft tinge of pink on her cheeks? Quirking an eyebrow in confusion, the brunette slowly turned his eyes over to his other friend sitting in his car.

Flinching slightly though not noticeably, Hiccup furrowed his brow in discomfort at his friend's piercing glare that seemed to stab straight through him. Turning warily, he looked back at the white-haired teen, "Um hey." Putting his hands in his sweater pockets, Jack glanced around, "Lovely weather huh, gotta love this snow."

Hiccup was just about say back, "Yeah I gue-", before Astrid stepped out in front of him. "Well," she interjected suddenly, "We should probably start heading to class then." With that, she grabbed Hiccup's arm and started pulling him toward the school, shouting back, "Thanks for the ride Terrence, seeya!" Still with a smile on his face, Jack chuckled and jogged after them.

Terrence closed his eyes with annoyance and was about to turn his car away and leave the school when he heard a shout, "Wait Terrence!" Turning back, he looked to see his friend scampering over to him, "Oh what Hiccup?" From the safety of the curb, Hiccup stood, casting his gaze down just slightly below Terrence's face, unable to look him in the eyes as he mumbled, "Um I was just gonna ask, if you know, well, I." At this, he looked up with a kicked-puppy expression, as he nervously poked the points of his index fingers together and anxiously sucked in his lips, "I, um . . . are you mad at me?"

"What?" Terrence asked, blinking his eyes with a look of confusion on his face like a deer caught in the headlights. "Well um," Hiccup went on shifting his hands together behind his back and nibbled his lower lip nervously, "Uh you were kind of glaring, well more than usual, at me just a bit ago." Cursing silently in his mind, though keeping a calm yet surprised face, Terrence thought of how he hated when his friend did that: be all cute and all. Quickly, as if the thought just came to him, Hiccup's eyebrows turned up with worry, "Wait are you mad that I brought Jack over yesterday?"

Hastily, Terrence's mind raced and he quickly spat out words, "Oh, no. Not at all, I've just got something on my mind." As he said this he eyed a certain white-haired teen as he came up behind his friend. "So Hiccup," Jack cooed, getting much to close to the boy than Terrence would have liked. He only placed a hand gently on Hiccup's shoulder, causing the younger boy to turn his head toward him as he asked, "Are we going to class now?"

Off towards the school came a shout, "C'mon Hiccup, or we'll be late!" The brunette looked past the grinning white locks to see Astrid waving back to them before biting his lip and hurried up after to her. He glanced back to shout his friend in the car, who couldn't help but glare vicious daggers at the boy who still had his arm propped up on his car, "See ya after school Terrence!"

The teen in his car shook his glare from Jack and turned to look over at his friend and wave casually, "See ya." There, he continued his waving even after Hiccup moved out of his sight and into the school, still keeping the casual smile on his face. However that smile was short-lived as it quickly reverted to a deadly glare aimed directly at the boy in front of him. His eyes narrowed coldly as the white-haired teen spoke up.

Turning to Terrence, Jack looked completely serious, which for a usually cheerful person, looked so foreign, "Okay, well I think it's safe to say that you do not like me; not one bit." The boy in black just kept his glare pinned on the other boy, folding his arms over his chest, saying nothing. "And," Jack added, "You especially don't like that I'm hanging out with Hiccup."

"Hmph," Terrence scoffed, "You think you're actually hanging out with him?" Suddenly he grabbed the front of Jack's sweater threateningly, "You're just following him around like an annoying, sniveling little bug." Jack was beginning to get annoyed as he pushed away the other teen's hand, "Look I just want to get to know him better and I'm sure that whether or not he wants to know me Hiccup can decide, not you."

The teen in black glared even harder at him, if that was even possible, then casually put his sleek black shades over his eyes, hoping that would stop his eyes from strangling the boy "Yeah sure, but whatever it is that you and your friends are plotting, I won't let you hurt Hiccup, he already gets enough of that everyday."

Shrugging his shoulders, Jack just lifted his hands up, "Whatever, you can't decide for him, he has his own mind." Then, with his competitive spirit getting the best of him, he shot back, "Besides you've seen the way he looks when I look at him." Turning, the white-haired boy smirked, "He can't resist."

The black-haired boy just glared at him as he walked away toward the school and quickly got out of his car. "Frost!" he shouted across the parking, over students' heads, causing the entire front of the school to go silent. The said boy turned casually and nonchalantly faced Terrence. Angrily, the boy in black growled, stressing both words with menacing threats, "Back. Off."


So there it is, and sorry it's sooo much shorter. I really hope it's okay and that you guys liked it. But so I'm not going to promise that I'll update soon because I can't say for sure when I'll have time to write up the next chapter but I got much of the story planned out and I just need to write it up. So please review and give feedback...
