The Big Eight

Chapter 7

"I can't believe you!" I shout. "What? Pink not your color?" Periwinkle asks. "How the heck did you even get to my shampoo?!" I ask. "A good magician never reveals her secrets." She says smugly. "More like witch." I sneer.

Periwinkle storms off, leaving me to deal with my light pink hair. "How could this happen?" I mutter. I quickly gather my things and head to Science.

"Hey Pinky." Adam says as I walk into the classroom. "Shut up, Adam." I groan. "Aww, the princess can't handle a little teasing?" She asks. "I believe she said shut up." Jack says from behind me.

"What, Pinky has a bodyguard now?" Adam teases. Jack steps around me, grabbing Adam by his shirt surprisingly easy. "You want to call her that again?" Jack asks him, angrily. Adam quickly shakes his head.

Jack lets him go and we head to our seats. "Thanks." I tell him. "Don't mention it." He says, pulling out his notebook. "No really, thank you. I've already had a crappy morning and it's first period." I say.

Jack smiles a bit. "I'm guessing it has to do with the new hair?" He asks. "Blame Periwinkle for that." I groan, putting my head in my arms. "She did that?" He asks.

"I'll be stuck like this for at least three weeks until it washes out." I mutter. "At least it's not permanent." Jack points out. "But it's pink." I whine.

"I can't believe she did that." Hiccup says after I finish telling him the story. "I know. I knew she hated me, but this is low." I say, resting my head against his shoulder.

"People may think yer dating." A familiar voice says from behind me. I grin and get up. "We're friends Merida. I'll just.. leave you two alone." I tell her, winking. She glares at me, same with Hiccup.

I walk off towards the field, where - hopefully - I'll be alone myself. When I get there, I only see Toothless in the shade of a tree away from the school.

I walk over, Toothless jumping up to great me. "Hey Tooth, how is everything?" I ask, petting his head. He makes a purring noise, nudging me. "Remember when I first saw you, you tried to eat me." I say, hugging him around his neck.

He makes a chuffing noise, laying back down after I let go. "Mind if I practice?" I ask. I take his silence as a 'go for it.' I hold my hand up and watch the snowflakes form over it.

"I see you like that." I laugh, watching Toothless eat the snow. I make a snow flurry above him, smiling. "You know, you and me are both forbidden secrets." I tell him. I sigh and lean against him.

"Elsa!" I look up from my book, at Anna and Rapunzel. "Okay, so you know how I told you I'm dating Kristoff?" Anna asks. I close my book and sit up, nodding. "Well, here he is." Anna says, motioning for him to come in.

But not only Kristoff comes in. Nope, Eugene is behind him. I look at Punzie confused. "You and Eugene?" I ask. She nods. I stand up and walk over to them. "I have an understanding Jack's the only jerk in the group. Is this true?" I ask. "Mostly." Kristoff says.

"Mostly?" I question. "He's not always a jerk." Eugene tells me. I nod. I turn to Kristoff. "You're dating my sister, you treat her right." I tell him. He nods. I step back, looking at both boys.

"You hurt them and I'll have to hurt you." I warn them. The two nod. I grin. "Now go! Have fun! Leave me to read." I tell them. Anna and Punzie grin, dragging their boys out of the dorm.

I sit back down on the bed and open my book. Someone knocks on the door and I roll my eyes. "Clearly it's open, so come in." I tell them, not even looking up. "Hey, snowflake."

I close my look and look up at Jack. "Did you need something?" I ask. "Not exactly." He says. "Then what?" I ask. Jack sighs, running a hand through his white hair. "I'm sorry." he tells me.

"Wait? What?" I ask, shocked. "I shouldn't have acted like a jerk towards you and the others. I don't know why I did, and clearly the guys got the sense slapped into them before me." Jack tells me.

I smile. "Well, it's hard to get through that thick head of yours." I tease. Jack grins. "So I'm forgiven?" he asks. "That depends, Frost." I say. "On what?" he asks. "If this isn't just because I have pink hair." I say seriously, trying to hide a smile.

Jack sits on the end of my bed. "Oh it's so because you have pink hair, snowflake." Jack tells me. "I knew it!" I exclaim, hitting him with one of my pillows. Jack laughs. "If I knew you were like this I never would've been a jerk." Jack admits.

I smile and shove my face in my book, trying to hide my blush. "I'm weird, okay?" I say. "What's wrong with weird?" Jack asks. I hit him with my pillow again, before closing my book and setting it on my desk.

"Nothing is wrong with weird." I tell him. "That's good to here, because us guys do some pretty weird things." Jack says. I raise an eyebrow. "Is that so?" I ask. Jack nods. "One time we went on a trip to some place and it was snowing, in summer! So we all decided it would be a fun idea to go ice skating." He tells me.

My eyes widen. He was there?! "I bet you guys got hyperthermia." I say. Jack shrugs. "The other guys almost did but I was fine." He says. "And how is that?" I ask. "I told you! I can make it snow!" He says.

I laugh. "Sure you can, Frost." I say. "I can." Jack insists. "Prove it." I tell him. "I can't. I don't have my staff." He admits. I roll my eyes. "Then I don't believe you."
