How my life changed

Chapter 4

Hiccup's P.o.v.

I quickly turned my gaze to my papers and tried to distract myself with drawing random stuff. I heard the girls whisper something and giggle right behind me. So annoying.... But they are probably talking about Jack... He'll probably bee one of the most popular boys at school within a couple of days when the right girls notice him. But they are right. He really looked good... No, Hiccup, no! Please try to not develop any feelings for him you idiot. You'll only get hurt again and then there is Pitch too... He would probably kill me if I would even think about someone else.

Suddenly everything went quiet. A little confused, I looked up and saw that the teacher was now alone at his desk and prepared his stuff for class.

"Hey.", I heard it suddenly whisper beside me. I was startled from it and jumped up a little and hit my legs at the table. I held my hand over my mouth to suppress a quiet groaning in pain.

"S-Sorry! Did I scare you?", asked the voice worried.

"Yes! You-", I started and slowly looked over to him and immediately my voice was gone. So this is the reason why it suddenly became so quiet...

With open mouth I stared at him while he looked at me concerned.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you! I didn't know you are so away with your thoughts when you are drawing.", he apologized again.

"I-It's alright... I get scared easily..." Well done Hiccup. You sure seem like a little scared boy now. You idiot.

"Uh, okay...", Jack said, turning back to the teacher which was already staring at us from the corner of his eye.

I sighed and looked back to my papers. The teachers don't really care whether I am paying attention or not. As long as my grades are good. And they are. Thanks to Pitch I'm the best in class. He forces me almost every day to learn at least two hours and if I don't obey or need to do something, like when I have to go to toilet, I get beaten to my place.

I wonder where Jack comes from... I've never seen anyone with such white hair. Did he dye it or are they real? I sighed while shaking my head lightly. No Hiccup, stop thinking about him. 

The class got to end relatively fast. From time to time someone talked to Jack when the teacher wasn't looking. And when they aren't talking with him, they are talking about him. Almost everyone, of course.

Suddenly my stomach growled. Quite noisy too. Thanks stomach. You always have to start growling like a dying lion when it's quiet. I quickly looked around me to see if anyone might have heard it, but it looked like no one did. Until I heard a very quiet giggle beside me...

"Hungry, huh?", Jack asked and giggled again. I blushed darkly and looked away embarrassed. "It's alright.", Jack chuckled. "Uhm, I don't know anyone here yet... and I get lost easily so... could you please show me around later? If that's not asked too much.", he said and smiled.

"Uh... are you sure you want to come with me? I mean I'm not really popular. More like... most people make fun of me."

"I don't care if you're popular or not.", he chuckled.

"Alright, but if anyone says something bad to you because of it, don't say I wouldn't have warned you."

"Fine." He smiled and looked like he didn't even listened to what I said. How couldn't it bother him that I am the most bullied guy in school? He probably is just that nice because he doesn't know that I like guys....
