RotBTFD: The Queen's territory

Chapter 22: Something Wrong

5th week of school; Monday.

"Jack, where have you been?" Hiccup asks. I turn around giving him a hard look as he walked the last few inches towards me. "I'm going to do it." I say determined, as soon as what i had said registered into his head, he stopped dead in his track. "What are you talking about?" He asks scrunching up his face.

"Hiccup, Elsa already knows were acting weird. I-I don't want to keep lying to her!" I say throwing my hands up in the air, my frustration making me yell. "Jack, we aren't hiding anything from her. Nothing really. Why are you frustrated?" He asks his face going serious. "She has asked me a lot of questions already and now I think she's mad at me because I haven't answered anything." I say knowing that most of the question she asked weren't about Hiccup.

"Don't you think I'm frustrated too? I don't want our friendship damaged because of this. Not just our friendship but the whole groups. And plus Pitch barely left!" Hiccup exclaims crossing his arms. I sigh heavily, "I'm, sorry Hiccup. You are honestly my best friend but... I can't just let Elsa walk away from me, and yes I know Pitch barely left and Elsa isn't the type to move on that easily even if it's just Pitch..." I state looking down as my eyebrows furrowed against each other.

He sighed a heavy breathe. "Fine. But know this Jack. I won't give Elsa up without a fight." Hiccup says puffing up his chest. My eyebrows twitch as I hear his response. "Fine." I say puffing up my chest too.

"Fine."

"Fine."

"Fine."

We both began glaring at each other.

-Bell Rings-

"Let's go inside the classroom." Hiccup says bitterly. "Yeah okay let's." I respond fiercely. "After, you." Hiccup says angrily opening the door to our third "Thank you, you're very kind." I say storming into the classroom, followed immediately by him. As I sat in my seat I realized...

We're both idiots.

...

Over thinking will be my downfall...I felt exhausted at my dumb, useless feelings. I didn't want to be one of those guys that lets a girl come between friends. But, I had never felt this before. Somehow I feel as if im doing the right thing. Not for Elsa or Hiccup... But for myself, was I being selfish?

I looked over at Hiccup, he was focused on whatever he was doing, he always was... I can't lose, to him. He is a worthy competitor for Elsa's feeling but... I feel as if I know Elsa better.

-End of 3rd-

I got up from my seat not sure of what to do. I usually waited for Hiccup, but today...Hiccup stood long at his desk and slowly he peered behind himself and at me.

Weirdly enough I walked together with him to our fourth. We didn't really talk but we still felt like friends.

-Beginning of 4th-

Once we reached our 4th we sat in different seats again. Is this going to go on for much longer?

I need to find a way to talk to Hiccup and Elsa. But, how am I going talk to Elsa when she's mad at me and Hiccup...is mad at me too. They are mad at me right?

Suddenly a wild idea came to my mind... I quickly buried my face in my hands.

...Confessing.

Ugh I can't do that, that would completely betray Hiccup. I slam my head on my desk, i was very lucky to be sitting all the way in the back of the classroom. Only a few people looked over my way.
