•Astrid's P.O.V•

September 2015

As the morning of September, I stayed in bed just a bit more. I can't believe this summer went by so quick that I'm going into grade eleven so I'd be expecting higher level of my academics I guess.

As my guardians told me that they are very proud of me for continuing my education, knowingly I'm bonding with them each day as I they treat me like their own child.

Now off to school by walking over there, a little exercise wouldn't hurt. Passing by the neighbour hood as I recognize everybody I met in this area. As soon as I got to the school seeing the recognizable uniforms which I decide to change to a green long sleeve uniform instead of a white shirt.

I walked inside glancing around as there are a lot of students here checking in their timetables which I have to do. Then I stop seeing Hiccup in front of me as I slightly smile without greeting him yet but then he turns to me.

"Hey Astrid!"He greets"good morning!".

"Hey Hiccup"I greet back, getting to the line up with him.

"So are you excited or what?"He said, pulling his backpack.

"Yeah, I hope this year won't be that bad"I said, glancing around the hallway"I see new faces though".

"We get that a lot, some students transfer here from Berserker High School, which I guess our system is better than their's"He shrug"but I'm not worried".

"Oh? Hey maybe we should try to make a new friend, I'm sure some transfer students are nice"I suggested, slightly waving my hand at one of them standing in line.

"You think so?"He said, looking over there.

"Can't be that hard, I mean. You're my best friend" gesture to myself.

"Best friend? I'm your best friend now?"He smirked at me, as I slightly blush and look away, brushing my hair"y-y-yeah, I trust you".

"Cute"He whispers"but awesome!".

I narrow my eyes at him and smile"oh shush!".

He chuckles"oh Astrid".

•During Class•

As I listen in the lecture that the teacher is presenting in front of us I thought about our friendship as I spit out our relationship, I mean he's a great friend I trust him, like I trust my cousins.

I then slightly doodle on my notebook and thought about this school year, I'm sure I can be outgoing now. As I recognize similar faces in my surroundings. But there are some people that I should be aware of, for instance I know Katrina dated Hiccup before. But then he broke up with her because what I heard, she cheated on him.

I should not worry about this, in fact, I hope I don't see her in my classes. I hope I don't jinx this.

"Psssst"

Just ignore it

"Pssssst!"

Keep ignoring it, as I press hard against the paper with my pencil.

"Pssssst!!!!"

Okay that's it!

I turn my head to the left and see Tuffnut"out of all things what is it Tuffnut!?".

"Hi!"He laughs, going back to his textbook.

I rolled my eyes and press on with our studying in class, apparently we got to learn this material until next week. And I hope to god there's no test on it. I mean already?

•LUNCH TIME•

Ugh two boring classes and I want to graduate already, but that's until next year. Knowing these subjects I should be able to get a decent grade and hope to make it to the honour roll.

It'll be nice if I do, I stop my tracks and glance at the passing awards that's in this hallway as I sigh, seeing my Father's scholarship there. As I was just day dreaming someone accidentally bump into me.

"Sorry!"She says, kneeling down grabbing her textbooks.

I turn around and automatically help her as her books scattered on the floor.

"No! You don't have to!"She says, grabbing her things fast.

"No let me!"I insisted, grabbing the last notebook"here, please be careful next time K?".

She slight smile and look away"thanks, I'm sorry. I'm kinda clumsy. I'm new here"She shrugs.

I raise my brow and smile"oh really? Nice. Welcome to Berk High!".

She smiles widely and glance around"thanks, your school is far more advance then my old one".

"Really? Which school?"I asked.

"Berserker High"She said, putting her textbooks in her backpack.

"Oh! You're a transfer students I keep hearing about. But welcome though!"I said, cheerfully.

"Again thanks, I'm still trying to get a hang of it around here. Moving and all. And ima fraud to say I'm lost"She slightly laugh.

I chuckle"well where you're looking for exactly? Cafe?".

"Yes! I'm starving AF"She says.

"Well follow me! Oh wait, I'm Astrid!"I introduced myself.

"Oh! My name is Heather"She smiles, going for a hand shake.

"Nice to meet you! I hope we can be friends, I'm pretty sure you haven't met anybody except the teachers?!"I smile back.

"Yeah, transferring here, not knowing anybody. But I like it so far, Nice place"She looks around"I just hope my Brother won't transfer here too".

"Oh you're not a single child in your family?".

She shook her head"unfortunately. But he's my big brother and he's kinda let's say, few screws loose".

"Understandable, wanna get something to eat?"I suggest, guiding her to the cafeteria.

"Sure!"

"K follow me!"

As we got to the cafeteria, there's already a line up.

"Jheeeze that's a big a$$ line!"Heather says.

"Right! I mean the cafe food is okay but I guess today's special is homemade shepherds pie. They're good, I tried it"I said, as we kept looking around the cafeteria.

"Well thanks for helping me. I swear I get lost easily"Heather shrug, as we sat down at a table.

"Of course!"I said, cheerfully"I'm sure it's difficult to adjust things around here".

"Yeah, I maybe be homesick but I gotta make the best of it here"Heather reaches out her phone and showed me a picture of her old school.

"Wow, looks nice. Hey is that your friends?"I look at her picture on her phone.

"Yeah, they'll chill people"She smiles.

I kept staring at the photo until I realize on the right side, a person is cropped, which revealing only its hand. Which raise my curiosity.

"Well I hope my friends can be your friends too!"I said, as I gave her phone back.

"What was your first year like here?"She asks, gesturing her hand around the cafeteria.

"It wasn't that bad. I was shy at first, but my cousin goes here too"I said"just a regular high school but uniforms though".

"I like the style though"Heather chuckles.

"Trust me, you'll love it here"I assure her.

We then both got distracted from bunch of boys chatting the next table.

"Cute"Heather slight blush and look away.

"And the boys here are just boys"I laugh.

"You got your eyes on someone?"She ask, looking away from the boys.

"Uuuuhhh maybe"I slightly blush"but he's my friend".

"Nice!"

We then decide to walk out fo the cafeteria and look for my friend.

"So we're meeting your friends?"Heather asks, walking beside me.

"Yes, trust me they're the chilliest people you'll ever met"I said, confidently"but don't worry, they're not mean or anything".

Heather smiles"I sure can wait!".

This Heather chick is okay, I'm glad I made another friend that is out of town too.

As we walk outside and saw them sitting down in front of the school on the right side of the field.

"And that's them"I point out.

Heather raises her shoulders"that's amusing, what's that boy doing?".

"Oh Tuffnut? He's being weird as usual, oh wait he's doing that again??".

I then walk over to them as they greet me.

"Hey Astrid what's up?"Anna greets, as she was reading her textbook.

"Hey"I greet back look at the rest of the group"he's doing that again???".

"Unfortunately"Elsa frowns, glancing over at Tuffnut.

"His stupidity amazes me"Ruffnut laughs at her brother.

"Hey! I'm intelligence you muttonheads!"Tuffnut protests, climbing on the tree.

"Tuffnut! Last time you did this, you fall. Four times!!"I shouted as he kept climbing.

"Yeah but I'm still breathing aren't I?!?!"He shouted down below us.

I face planted, as Heather stands beside me with a smirky look.

"Your friends are quite entertaining. I like them"She whispers.

"Hey new girl. Come sit next to me!"Snotlout winks at Heather.

"Well some are"Heather rolled her eyes.

"Welcome to the losers club girly"Ruffnut says, enthusiastically.

"Where's Hiccup?"I asked, looking around as our group isn't perfect.

"Oh! He's with-"

Suddenly a loud voice startled me as I look behind seeing vice principal Victoria.

"Mr Thorston!!! Get down from there this instant!!"She shouted, as Tuffnut snickers.

This is going to be a long year for being a grade eleventh.
