Merida POV

"Hey Hiccup!" I shout, running to catch up with him. I hand him his book he left on his desk. "You left this in class," I tell him.

He laughs, sounding relieved. "Thanks Mer, I really like this book- I would have been pissed if I left it here over the weekend," he says. "No problem," I reply, walking along the hallway with him.

He puts his arm around me and sighs. "Why don't we hang out as much as we used to?" he asks. I shrug. "Well truth is, you have a girlfriend. The thing even worse about that is I don't like her, and she doesn't like me," I answer.

"Why though? What started the conflict between you and Astrid?" he asks me.

I stop walking and move away from him. How oblivious is this guy?

"Really?" I ask him. "I'm genuinely confused," he says.

I sigh with annoyance. "Hiccup. I've liked you for the longest time now. And you told me you liked me... and then you started dating someone," I say, rolling my eyes.

"I'm obviously not gonna like her dude," I tell him. He facepalms. "That's why?" he asks. "Yes," I reply, starting to walk away.

He stops me, and stands in front of me looking down.

I stand and wait for his reply.

"Listen," he states, looking at me.

"I didn't mean to hurt you... I'm sorry," he says. He continues looking at me like he has more to say. "It's fine Hiccup. I've been cool with it; you asked me.... so I told you what's up," I respond.

"You sure?" he asks. I nod. He smiles and gives me a hug. "I really do love you though Merida... you know that right?" he asks. I laugh. "Sure. Love you too," I reply.

He pulls away from the hug and just kind of stares at me weirdly. I feel my heart somewhat skip a beat, as I analyze all of his features.

He has some nice hair, not gonna lie.

His whole head just full of thick, shaggy, nice brown colored hair. His eyes are such a beautiful green- nice and deep.

He was somewhat slim for a guy, but who cares.

I could feel myself inching closer towards his face unconsciously, until my lips hit his.

Should you be doing this?

No....

Is he stopping it?

No.....

"What the-" I hear coming from the end of the hallway. I pull away from Hiccup and see Astrid storming her way towards us. "Get away from him!" she shouts at me.

I back up.

"I was looking for you, since we always meet up by the doors before we go home, and instead you're over here kissing Merida?!" Astrid shouts.

Hiccup looks like he's in complete panic, and starts stuttering.

"Astrid, no- just wait," he says, trying to stop her from walking away.

Shoot.

Shouldn't have done that.

Hiccup turns to me frustrated. "Why'd you do that?!" He whisper shouts.

"Why didn't you push me away or something?!" I whisper shout back.

"God Merida," he says before chasing after Astrid.

I turn around, feeling myself getting mad. I start walking to the other doors at the other end of the school, and I see Elsa come out of a classroom.

"Hey Els," I call to her. She sees me and briskly waves, continuing walking to where she was going.

I frown, feeling even more troubled than before. She's been acting so distant these last couple weeks. The last time I talked to her she told me about how Anna was acting crazy, and I mean... I can see it.

For two weeks, I've only seen Anna in school for three days. And she was dressing crazy.

She became crazy popular, even after that Hans boy dumped her.

I sigh, heading out the double doors and standing outside being hit by the blazing sun. "Good God," I whisper to myself, shielding my face.

Anna POV

What have I been doing these days?

Having fun I guess. Going to parties, skipping school... you know.

I've been at Ariel's house the past three days. Elsa is another level of clingy, she's been calling me constantly.

We're walking back to her place from the gas station, and honestly- the sun is not playing.

It's another level of hot today.

We walk past this interesting metal gate, and it has bold red letters that read, DO NOT ENTER.

I look at Ariel, as she looks at me.

"You wanna check it out? It looks cool," she says, giggling. I nod. "Of course I wanna check it out," I laugh.

We walk towards it, and see it has a lock on it. Ariel starts digging in her bag and finds stuff to start hitting it with.

"Oh my gosh we are crazy Ariel," I say laughing. She laughs and continues smacking the lock with whatever thing she's holding right now.

She hits it continuously until it breaks.

"We probably will end up behind bars for a little while you know," she says. I shrug. "I just want to be reckless. I don't really care about life right now," I say.

I open the heavy and really high gate; and it makes a huge squeaking noise.

"God that hurts my ears," Ariel says. We go inside and shut the gate, and see nothing.

Literally nothing, just a closed off perimeter.

"What's so crazy about this place?" I ask. Ariel shrugs. There are metal bars that wrap around the inside of the gate, and I touch one of them.

I immediately retract my hand, feeling the worst sting of heat and slight electrocution.

"Ow!" I shout, jumping back. "Anna, what is it? Ariel shouts, looking at my palm.

The area I touched the metal left an imprint on my hand. Burnt into my hand.

"What the hell..." I whisper. The metal suddenly breaks in half, and I see big sparks flying from it.

"Oh my God, move away!" Ariel shouts. We move back, but the spark turns into flames. We run to the entrance of the gate, but it's closed tight.

"I-I can't open it!" I wail. Ariel tried to help me, but it doesn't budge.

The flames are getting big, and are filling the whole perimeter. "I don't get it," Ariel pants.

We both lean on the metal gate, and watch the flames.

There was no escaping it. Tears fall down my eyes as I see it coming closer.

I hold her hand as the flames come.
