Chapter 8

A/N Warning: This chapter contains strong language.

Astrid's POV

"Hiccup!" I called after him as he walked away from me.

I hadn't had time to sit down at the table before he stood up.

I put my tray down on the table and followed him out of the cafeteria.

"Hiccup!" I yelled, starting to run.

He kept walking at a fast pace down the corridor, ignoring me.

"Hiccup, wait!" I tried again.

Nothing.

"Henry!" I shouted, coming to a standstill.

He stopped and turned to face me slowly when he heard the name he used at Berk to avoid bullying- it didn't work.

His green eyes looked almost black from the shadow of his hair and the purple bags under them made him look evil.

His eyes met mine and stared me down like a predator would his prey, making me feel uncomfortable.

He walked at the same fast pace towards me, forcing me to step back into the lockers.

He slammed his hands against them, almost denting them, trapping me between them and him.

"You made my life hell," he started, his voice, deeper than usual, sent shivers down my spine "you hit me, called me names, took advantage of me, do I need to mention the rest? And then you run away from me. It's people like you who don't deserve friends like them," he said gesturing towards the doors towards the cafeteria. "You're a bully. You picked on me coz I was small and weak. Not so weak now, am I?"

I was about to answer but he put his finger on my lips.

"Remember this?" He asked, turning around and lifting up his shirt, revealing a long scar.

He turned back to me, dropping his shirt.

"Keep away from me and my friends. Or I'll do to you what you did to me for ten years"

He walked away leaving me speechless against the lockers.

"Astrid! Are you okay?" Asked Punzi who was standing with the girls outside the double doors.

They ran to me and Punzi hugged me.

"What was that about?" Asked Anna.

"I know, I've never seen him act like that before!" Exclaimed Elsa.

The guys emerged from the double doors.

"He went that way," Punzi said gesturing to the exit.

They ran after him.

--Next day--

Jack's POV

"Kristoff, where's Hiccup?" I whispered, trying to look like I was doing linear equations.

"I don't know, but I think Astrid really pissed him off yesterday." Kristoff said.

"I know right, his face was scary. I can't believe the girls are siding with her, I mean, she obviously did something to him." I added.

"Mr Frost, why are you talking while I am teaching?" Asked Mr Jefferson.

I really couldn't be bothered to put up with him so I whispered "why are you teaching when I'm talking?"

The guys around me laughed.

"What was that Mr Frost?" he asked.

"I said; why are you teaching when I'm talking?" I repeated.
