Chapter 9

{Elsa's P.O.V}

I don't know why, but Jack's words... they somehow inspired me; showed me that there's more than just accepting defeat.

I don't have the slightest clue of what I could've done to Hiccup, but if he isn't talking to me-- then I'll just have to make a reason for him to talk to me.

It's now the second week of school.

It's the end of the day, and Jack and I are currently in the library... it's practically a routine now for us to sit at this table and listen in on what Hiccup and Merida are saying.

Thing is- for the past few days, I've been coming to the library to "hit the books"-- as many characters in movies and shows might say.

I'm currently researching about something so that I could have a proper conversation with Hiccup.

Sadly, I can't tell Jack about what I'm doing.

For a while now, he hasn't taken interest to what I've been reading, which is good because I want to try and do this on my own.

Jack has helped me, given me advice, tips, and has comforted me-- but I've just been there; not doing anything for him in return.

That's why I'm going to try to talk to Hiccup... without Jack having to help me.

I know, I know; what I'm doing isn't necessarily for his sake, but I have this gut feeling that he'll be somewhat proud of me... seeing as I'm just as unsociable as I am awkward.

I've also noticed that he's been giving me less and less tips each day, giving him room to actually talk and ask me questions... I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels that this whole "get together" plan is the only thing that's keeping us together all the time.

Now, I think I've gathered enough information for my "plan".

Problem is...

...when do I do it...?

Maybe tomorrow, or even now-- when should I strike a conversation?

I clenched the book I was holding, thinking hard of what I should do.

"Do it now," I heard a familiar voice.

I looked up, only to see Jack smirking at me.

Looks like he read my mind yet again... I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, nodding to him in reply.

I got up and out of my chair, and headed towards their table.

Though Jack and I were close enough to hear what they were saying, it took quite a route to get to their table.

It wasn't long before I was behind a book shelf, the last shelf separating me and Hiccup.

All I had to do was turn this corner and face the both of them.

I took one last drawn-out breath, repeatedly telling myself I can do this... I could even see myself shaking a little as I slowly turned from behind the book shelf.

Finally, I whipped my body towards them.

"Hiccup...!!! I... I just-" My voice suddenly caught in my throat as I saw what they were doing.

I was frozen. I couldn't move.

I dropped the book I was holding, the book surprisingly making a loud thud on the library floor.

Hiccup and Merida turned towards the direction of the dropping book; surprised and confused to see me.

It... hurts.

       It hurts so much.

       This pain in my chest... in my heart... it feels like I've been stabbed by a thousand swords.

"I-I... I'm so s-sorry..." I was able to muster before running out of the library.

Could I hold them back? These tears...? Could I even play this off tomorrow?

       What do I do...

The image continuously filled up my mind, even when I tried so hard to pull it out.

It hurts so much...

       I don't want to remember Hiccup and Merida...

...I don't want to remember them kissing.

There you have it folks, Chapter 9! ^~^

I'm sorry if this chapter seems a bit short and rushed... I guess you could say that I wanted a little change of pace- or even that this is to make up for all those chapters surrounding the first day of school X3

Also, I'm sorry if I'm a bit late on updating... I was currently writing Chapter 1 of this new book I decided to write.

Anyways, THANK YOU SOOO MUCHHH!!!

Like really guys, OVER 550 READS AND 25 VOTES?! \\\*0*///

I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!! <3 ♥♡

...and if you guys don't think that your reads, votes, or comments don't mean or do anything... you're wrong.

They do something... they REALLY do.

You, your comments, votes, and reads inspire me to continue this book!

Without you readers, I would've probably stopped this book at Chapter 1 XD

Thank you guys so much once again- and that's all...

SEE YA :D :) XD ☆♥♡☆◇°◆~●▪□•
