High school can be a very trying time.
But there's nothing worse than starting in the middle of the semester.
Can Hayden keep his true identity a secret?
Will his new friend see right through him?
Will they get their happily ever after?
We shall see...
"Ally, will you please talk to me?" Hayden pleaded. Alyssa continued writing in her journal and ignored her boyfriend's words.
"She still won't talk to you?" Heather wondered.
"It's been 2 days. She won't tell me what I did wrong."
"Al, are you okay?" Heather asked. The blonde only nodded in response before plugging her headphones in. Blocking everything out.
Hayden gestured wildly with his arms.
"See!" He shrieked. "She won't even look at me. She refuses to say a word when I'm in the room. But she's fine when I'm not. She can't possibly still be mad about me leaving her in bed. She said she forgave me for that."
"She's Ally." Heather reminded. "Just give her time."
"Hey, guys," Justin announced as he and the others entered the clubhouse. Alyssa waved, not once removing her gaze from the book she was writing in. "Still not talking huh?"

Two weeks had passed and still no change.
"Ally, you have to talk to him. You can't just shut off every time he walks in the room." Heather advised.
"Sure I can. Watch me." She insisted.
"Al, what did he do that has you so upset with him?" Ally glared at her. "Did he even do anything wrong?" Heather wondered. "You guys were getting along so well, everything was perfect. You were happy."
"Heather, I told you, if you're gonna keep talking about this I would rather eat lunch alone." Ally scowled.
"Fine, we'll just talk about something else." She sighed in defeat.

"Lili?" Andy whispered as Ally tucked him into bed. "When is Hiccup coming back?" Ally sighed.
"I don't know, Bud." She admitted. "Things are just a little complicated right now."
"Like how?"
"I'll tell you when you're older." She smiled.
"I miss him." Andy pouted.
"I know, Bud." Ally sighed. "I do too. More than you know."
"Doesn't he love us anymore?" Andy sniffled.
"Of course he does." Ally defended. "You know, he told me you were the best little brother he could ever ask for." She attempted to comfort her brother.
"Hiccup's the bestest brother ever," Andy stated. "Do you still love him?"
"Very much." She admitted.
"Then why is it so complicated!" Andy cried. "I'll never understand you, people!"
"Goodnight, Buddy."
"Goodnight Lili," Andy called to his sister.

Ally made her way into the living room and started flicking through her phone.
