The runaway Valedictorian(HICCSTRID)

15 The Reunion Part 2

Just after the previous Chapter:

Narrator's POV:

People streamed through the halls of Raven Point High as they all made their way towards the gym. All of them were wearing their best suits and dresses to express their wealth and so that they could relive their glory days they had when they attended school there, ten years ago. Stories were shared by the old Ravens(Students from Raven Point High) to their loved ones and their other old Raven pals. Laughter broke through the crowds as old jokes and tales were told and people greeted each other happily and shared how great their lives have been the last ten years.

But among the crowds two people stood out the most. One was that their clothes weren't nearly as flashy as other people's clothes and second was that they didn't really talk out loud to other people to 'boast' about how successful their lives were for the last ten years. No, they were content to just talk with each other about normal things while they walked through the school halls towards the gym.

The woman was probably- no scratch that- she was the most beautiful girl there at the reunion. She had an azure sleeveless dress that went all the way to her feet and had little make-up on that just added to her beauty. She had azure eyes and gold blond hair that was loose in a waterfall style. Yep, she was just absolutely gorgeous.

Her companion was a tall handsome guy. He had a lean build, but you could make out that he had some well defined muscles. He wore a dark chino, with vellies, black shirt and a maroon blazer. He had wild auburn hair that could never be tamed and forest green eyes. He looked like the average guy you would normally see, but you could make out that he had just the faintest of a limp.

Yes, this was the Astrid Hofferson and Hiccup Haddock. Well, some people knew Hiccup by another name, but no one at the reunion knew that except him and Astrid.

Hiccup's POV:

[ A/N There might be a lot of POV changes in this chapter and the next chapters. So please don't get confused. ;) ]

I smiled as Astrid and I walked down the corridors towards the gym. I didn't smile because of the fact that we were walking down the corridors towards the gym, but because of the fact that I was spending time with Astrid. Because if I am being honest, there is nowhere in the whole wide world where I would rather be than next to Astrid's side. No matter where she is I would be by her side, even hell.

Well, Raven Point High was the closest thing to hell for me. No matter where I looked I had a small flashback of when I was bullied, torture or just simply used as a punching bag. It's actually quite ironic now that I think about it. Usually when a person revisit or go back to a place that they grew up in or spend a lot of time in, they usually think of good memories that took place there. Maybe it is one of the reasons why reunions are held. But now that I am here it only reminds me how neglected and bullied I was. And everything reminded me of that. The girls bathroom, that locker, Math class, the janitor's closet and that glass cabinet that have a lot of my paintings and pictures of me....

....Wait what?

I suddenly stopped dead in my tracks and looked back to the glass cabinet in shock and surprise.

"Hiccup?" Astrid asked and looked at me concerned, "Is everything alright?"

I nodded numbly and replied, "Yeah, just when did they make this?"

I gestured towards the glass cabinet and she turned and looked towards it. Her eyes widened when she saw it and her mouth made a small 'o' shape. She then smiled a little and tugged my arm and pulled me closer towards the glass cabinet.

On the lower shelves there were pictures of me attending school here and all of the things I made inside the cabinet. A few of my paintings like the one of our mountain range and a picture of a cove that was in the woods with the moon in its reflection. There were also a few news articles of me winning my science and art projects that I honestly thought no one ever knew about.
