6. Fish bone:

Two men and one woman stood and looked at each other. Everyone was expecting something from each other, but Walker knew that he would not get out of here, so he decided to slightly redo what happened to the two of them in the toilet. Of course, lying to your boss was bad, but that was the only way to avoid looking like a bastard in Astrid's eyes. She, in turn, looked insistently at both men, expecting an answer from one of them. In the end, Walker, having come up with his own scenario for this entire incident, looked directly into Astrid's azure eyes and immediately began to speak.

"Astrid, I really don't think you need to talk to this man in any way," he insisted, pointing to Hiccup.

"Why can't I talk to him? This is my personal right, I can talk to anyone I want at any time, "she explained.

Walker tapped his shoe on the floor and caught Astrid's azure gaze.

"This ... The likeness of a Viking, impudently hit me," he shouted angrily. "When I was going to the toilet, he hit me in the face with a pen, and then stepped on me on purpose!" He blamed, looking directly at Astrid.

"Not! This was not ... "

"It was, you ugly fish bone, attacked me, and then scoffed at me." He pointed his finger at him. "How dare you do it!" he exclaimed.

The Hiccup was now slightly broken. He looked straight down without showing his eyes. He was offended. He really didn't do it, and now he is accused of what he didn't. In most cases, Hiccup already knew what was coming. Contempt, blame for everything, anger awaits him. And all because of some upstart who inadvertently opened the door and hit him right in the nose, and then accused him of being too clumsy.

It has always been that way, he was accused of everything, even his own father did not mind accusing his only son of something. Either he lit the fire incorrectly, then he parked incorrectly, or he found a bad job. Everyone doesn't like Hiccup. The only one who did not criticize him was the dog Toothless. The dog is Hiccup's best friend and will never let his friend down.

"Astrid, I really didn't want to ruin your day. If you want, I can get out of here right now, "he quietly assured.

Astrid looked at his lovely green eyes. He was incredibly upset that Walker had accused him of being awkward. She didn't want him to leave, Astrid sees him for the first time in 10 years. The smartest teenager in the class, who was awkward, at one time a very small, but kind and stubborn person. He was a good guy, but neither she nor his classmates perceived him. They called him a burden, to those with whom they would not go out into the street in life. Throughout school, he was hurt for these words, she remembered this insult today, when Walker accused him, most likely, of something that actually did not happen.

Astrid sighed. "Hiccup, I know what a wonderful person you are, I know you would never do that," she said.

"But he did it, Astrid ... will you believe me ... or ... him?" Walker asked.

"Shut up Walker, I already knew that you are lying." She did not look away from the Hiccup. "I also want to know the version of Hiccup about what happened in the toilet. Perhaps with the help of him we will get to the bottom of the truth, "she demanded.

Hiccup looked away from her and instantly exchanged glances with Walker. After forming a short pause.

"I can say in my defense that it wasn't me." Hiccup turned his eyes straight to the floor. "I don't need your subordinate's pain, much less bullying him," he explained.
