Scars of Love

Chapter 5: Christmas

Hehe, I know Christmas is soooooo far away, but eh, I am still writing this.

This is also dedicated for my friend Allen, since it is his birthday tomorrow, October 8.

Enjoy! :)

It is now two weeks from Christmas and the school is planning their annual Back To The Manger Concert. They say that it is absolutely fun and merry.

Ruff says that the teachers are hosting the concert this year and they are planning something new that the President of our school is actually attending. And she says that he never ever, in the whole history of Berk Academy, came to the concert.

So maybe it is going to be fun. Maybe.

~×~×~×~×~×~

It is the start of first period and Mr. Wedlim comes in merrily. And that surprises me. As far as I know, Mr. Wedlim is always gloomy. So if he is happy...well, something bad probably happened.

(A/N: Sorry for disturbing, but can any of you guess who Mr. Wedlim is? Hehe. XD)

The class fidgets in their seats. Mr. Wedlim and happy do not mix at all.

"I have some good news for all of you," Mr. Wedlim chirps, clapping his hands.

"To enter the dance, you will need a partner of the opposite gender," he says.

The class groans and people start to murmur things like, 'I am so not going' or 'Gah! I want Snotlout to come with me! He is hot!'. Seriously, what is up with that guy and girls? Perhaps I will never know *sigh*.

Mr. Wedlim must have heard someone saying they don't want to go, because he says, "And everyone must come. If not, you will get a grade of C by the end of the semester."

At this, I, along with half the class, groan in frustration.

Do the teachers hate us or something?

The answer is probably a big YES. Grr....teachers....

"So Astrid, who are you going to the concert with?" Anna asks me at lunch.

Mer, Elsa, Ruff and her look at me, waiting for an answer.

I shrug. "I haven't really thought of anyone nor did a boy ask me," I say, poking my chicken.

"Well you should look for someone," Mer remarks.

Elsa adds, "I mean, all of us have dates for the dance already."

Ruff butts in, "Yeah, I'm even going with Fishlegs!"

I sigh, "Well at least you guys won't get a C."

"What are you talking about?" Anna inquires.

"Well..." I start, "Practically every boy in this school doesn't want to go with me."

"Well, how about Hiccup?" Ruff suggests.

I chuckle, "We're just friends Ruff. We aren't soul mates."

"Oh really?" Elsa raises an eyebrow, "Because I see him heading over here right now."

Ruff, Anna and Mer all squeal so loud that everyone in the cafeteria looks at us with a 'Are they crazy?' look.

I blush.

Hiccup then arrives at our table. He stutters, "Uh...Astrid?"

I look at him, "Yeah Hicc?"

I try not to choke Anna, who is trying to hold, as I am sure of, a very loud squeal.

"Would you like to be my partner for the Back To The Manger Concert?" He asks.

I remember that Ruff loved him once and I look at her. She notices my face and smiles. She nods; a sign that she is okay with it.

"Sure!" I say enthusiastically, looking at Hiccup.

He smiles, "So I'll pick you up next week friday at six?"

"Okay," I agree.

I feel my shoulders relax, I probably held my breath that whole time.

I turn to see a smiling Ruff, Anna, Mer and Elsa.

"What?" I ask, trying to sound like Maleficent.

"Aahhhh!" They all squeal, "Ze Hiccstrid Feelz!" (Haha, copyright @the100thbookreader)

I just laugh with them and smile while feeling my cheeks burn.

~×~×~×~×~×~

I ride a carpool and I was talking with two of my friends and a grade four girl and this was our conversation:

"I REVERSE THE CURSE, LET IT BE NO MORE!" the grade four girl yells, copying Maleficent.

My friends and I laugh and one of my friends said, "Let it go, girl, let it go."

Haha, I know what you all are thinking.  XD

P.S: Remember my first author's note? Well, he doesn't know I have Wattpad. Haha XD!
